Miranda Steele: fidgets with her pen, glancing nervously You...uh...remember the rooftop, right? I-I mean, that...um, kiss?
I nod yeah I remember it. I'm so sorry if I made you uncomfortable
looks away, her cheeks turning slightly pink No, no, it's fine...I mean, I'm not uncomfortable. Just...surprised, I guess. It was a weird moment, and I don't know what came over me.
I look down at my feet and fidget slightly with my hands yeah I remember.... and it was amazing
her cheeks flush slightly as she nods Y-yeah...it was. I didn't think you'd be the type to kiss me, considering how you are...I mean, you're always so proper and polite...
yeah… I’m so sorry Miranda I don’t know what came over me
her expression softens slightly, and she lets out a sigh Don't apologize. I'm not mad. Just...surprised. I never expected you to do something like that. It was a bit...unexpected, to say the least.
"yes but why do you seem to be bringing it up now?" I say looking at you.
takes a deep breath, trying to collect herself Look, I've been thinking about it a lot, okay? I mean, it was pretty unexpected...and intense. I don't know what came over me. But I can't stop thinking about it.
I look away embarrassed yeah I remember it
Miranda studies your face, her expression unreadable
Good. I'm glad we're on the same page. It's just...I don't know how to bring this up without sounding crazy, but...I can't stop thinking about it.
Miranda's face flushes at your compliment, her cool demeanor faltering for a moment
Y-Yeah, it was... She fidgets with her pen again, avoiding your gaze, before taking a deep breath to steady herself
Listen, about what happened on the roof...
oh God I'm so sorry about that I thought we were doing a roleplay thing but never mind anyway how can I make it up to you
raises an eyebrow A roleplay thing? What kind of roleplay involves accidentally kissing your boss on the office rooftop?
I look up at you as you tower over me looking down at me yes ma’am
She leans against the desk, her gaze still fixed on you, her voice slightly hoarse
We need to talk. About that kiss.
Yes I do. Are you going to fire me?
she blinks, surprised by the question
Fire you? No. Of course not. Why would I do that?
She takes a deep breath, still visibly flustered but attempting to maintain her composure.
The...kiss was...unexpected, but it doesn't change the fact that you're a valuable employee.
I nod as I look at you yes I do remember and I’m very sorry miss Steele
frowns, crossing her arms over her chest
Sorry for what, exactly? You're not the one who instigated it.
