After the Fall

Proper Etiquette? (Fluff and....Eek)

Nancy and Steve kiss while in her office, her being on his lap with her crossed legs draped over his lap, him being in her chair behind the desk, his hands running up her body while her hands are on his cheeks.

"Max Sinclair has an idea!" Max exclaims while smiling brightly, bursting through the door.

Nancy and Steve both jump while pulling away, both of them looking over at Max straight ahead of them, Max still having a smile on her face. "Yes Max come in! Don't bother knocking or anything." Nancy mentions sarcastically.

"Thanks." Max smiles, Nancy just rolling her eyes. Max goes to close the door behind her, her going to sit down in the chair in front of Nancy's desk while putting her purse down on the desk. "Oh hey Steve, didn't even see you there honestly."

Steve just gives a tight smile. "Hey there Mayfield."

"Okay so get this." Max says. "So Friday Lucas and Steve planned on taking Amir and Amberlee to the amusement park. We are going to kick all of the boys out of the house and tell them to go with them while ladies help me with the Monday meeting I am going to have next week."

"What Monday meeting?" Nancy questions.

"I'm switching Amberlee to a new teacher." Max says. "This bitch Cross has taken things to far."

"Oh firstly that wasn't to kind of you." Nancy smiles.

"Shit you're right." Max says, her shifting in her place while sitting more upright, her hands being on her thighs. "Maybe that is her way of teaching but the way I see her acting with Amberlee is unprofessional."

Nancy just rolls her eyes, Steve giving a confused expression. "What did she do?"

"She glares at her!" Max leans closer to the desk. "Wait sorry...it's not that much of a glare but she gives her side eye, and never wants to call on her to answer questions and when I started sitting in on her classes she wanted to switch up and start acting nice."

"Okay yeah no." Nancy shakes her head.

"Exactly." Max motions.

"Yeah that sounds like a prejudice thing." Steve says.

"Oh my god..." Max trails off. "I didn't even think of that. And now that I am thinking about it I saw her expression when Lucas came in. Oh my god she's a damn racist!"

"Careful you still need to be kind." Nancy sings.

Max sighs out while she puts her face in her hands. After a minute she goes to look up at the both of them. "Steve?"

"Yeah?"

"Do you think I can be kind?" Max questions. "Like...forever? Towards all human beings?"

Nancy looks over at him, Steve just looking ahead of him, him moving his mouth and contorting his face a little in a thinking manner. "Well man I actually have to be getting back to work, duty calls." He starts, patting Nancy's thigh making her get up, him going to stand up.

"Hey no." Max stands in front of him. "You didn't answer the question do you think I can be kind?"

"Max honestly you are kind and abundantly loyal to your family and friends." Steve says.

"Okay that's not what I'm asking though." Max says. "I mean towards all mankind."

"You're...Max Sinclair professional."

"Steve!"

"Okay honestly I think Blue Heelers would have more of a chance being kind." Steve shrugs.

Max rolls her eyes. "Get out."
