"so, autumn. will you go out with me?" winter asked.

"yes." autumn went to kiss him.

they had a met by an unexpected circumstance. they were never thought of being together.

they worked together for a few months, yet one faithful halloween party changed it all. after the two got drunk, they hooked up. and since that day, they had slowly fell in love.

however, it is very frowned upon to date a colleague. especially, and assistant manager dating one of the nursery practioners...

winter was a lovely man. he always looked out for the kids. especially if he believed the parent was doing wrong towards the child. he loved his job in childcare. and even with the qualifications to be management he still wanted a job working in the rooms.

autumn was a troubled women. she never really worked with the kids. aut would always send marjorie before she would have to. she had a rough start to the job, but she did secretly love it. to be totally honest, she only had the job because her father was the owner. well, he wasnt going to be the owner for much longer.

------------------------------------------------------------

"my love, you musnt tell anyone." winter said.

"not even marjorie or my brother.?" autumn asked.

"most importantly, not marjorie or reece."

autumn was extremely close to her brother. they had more downs than ups. i mean they spent 15 years not talking! but now, they have settled the differences and are closer than ever. she wouldnt admit it, but she loved her brother. especially with her dad not being the nicest of men.

autumn was also close with marjorie. she was the manager of the nursery both autumn and winter worked at. although marjorie was the total opposite, they fit really well together. for example, marjorie could get drunk on one shandy. but autumn could drink a straight bottle of vodka. overall, they were one of, if not the closet pairs at the nursery.

------------------------------------------------------------

since it was after the shift, winter went to autumns house for the night. her house was much more grand than winters house. after all, her father did pay her well. even if he was an awful individual.

"your house is gorgous, my love." winter said.

"thank you, just please shut the blinds and curtains. if anyone sees you in here they will know." autumn said.

"okay darling." winter said with a grin.

they both headed into the sitting room. the room was so elegant. the pannelled walls were a deep, dark shade of green. a large golden mirror sat in the middle of the room, reflecting the light from the chandelier. the fire place added sophistication to the room. it was black, with gold details. the walls also had paintings. overall, the room was a work of art.

"woah, this is stunning." winter said, mesmerised.

"thank you my love."

------------------------------------------------------------

they sat on the sofa, cuddling for an hour. they watched autumns favourite 'rom-com'. texas chainsaw massacre.

now, it was 8pm, and they began to feel hungry. since they really could not be arsed cooking, winter ordered a pizza from the local italian. they ordered a large pepperoni to share.

due to autumns love of alcohol, she went into her cupboard and brought out two bottles. of pure red wine. she grabbed her best glasses and went to sit down. by this time, winter was holding a gorgeous smelling pizza in his hand.

"doesnt that smell amazing, love" winter said.

"not as good as this wine" autumn said, letting out a slight smile.

as much as he loved a drink himself, winter wasnt going to let autumn totally over drink since it was work the next morning. fortunately, it was hard for her to get drunk or hungover easy.

they sat, cuddling up, kissing and eating on the sofa. they began watching 'dahmer' on netflix and other true crime documentaries.

autumn loved all things like that. not in a creepy way. she was fascinated by the criminal minds and how they work. if she wasnt a nursery worker, she would have been a criminal physcolagist.

winter also enjoyed things like that. he could sit and watch through true crime, but never through a horror movie. unlike autumn, he hated the gore. which was always in horror, and never in true crime.

------------------------------------------------------------

after hours, sat in morethanless total silence. they finally turned off the tv. autumn fell asleep onto winter, and then winter slowly dozed to sleep. they laid still, holding eachother as they slept. it was total darkness, just like they loved.

luckily for both autumn and winter, aut hadnt had much to drink. this meant not a soul would suspect they had been together. maybe they could get through the day with nobody suspecting they had been together. well, maybe.
