Before

Cuddy had one hour to finish everything and go home. She still had to schedule a few meetings, in her almost full agenda. Suddenly someone knocked on her office door.

“Come on in.” She said.

“Hey. I was wondering if we could talk.” He said almost asking.

“Is the MRI machine broken again?” She asked afraid.

“No, don’t worry.” He laughed. “Everything is just fine around the Hospital.”

“Oh. Sorry about that. I’m so busy lately, that I barely have time to see anything changing and breaking in front of me.” She replied embarrassed. “I mean if anything bad happened right now, I would go nuts.”

“Well, I’m not sure if what I have to talk to you is a bad thing...” He started.

“Are you actually going to tell me, or do I have to ask?” She joked.

Right after she pronounced the last word, he gave a step forward and kissed her right on the lips.

They stood there for a couple of seconds, his hand rested gently on her face.

She was definitely not expecting that; she never thought the he could do it... Okay so they had exchanged a few teasing looks and smiles, but... he just had kissed!

He broke the kiss and looked deep into her eyes.

“I should go now. And I’m sorry,” he sighed ”it was way inappropriate.”

He turned around and left Cuddy in the middle of her office with a mix of feelings around... and a smile on her face.
