ODDS OF LOVE SEASON TWELVE

Episode 133

" I can't believe you partake of such unwholesome foolishness on school property ! ," Cassandra shot out tersely as she aimed a sharply accusing finger towards Gerald in his office. "I'm so surprised at you, Dr. HighTower. I never thought you were..... that you were..... "

Gerald sighed in frustration. He regretted not having closed the door after Alfred had came in. He regretted that Zora Mayfield was a student at his school. He regretted that Alfred felt so embarrassed about this woman's seeing them kissing that he had almost immediately left the office once she had began her tirade against them. But what he did not regret was kissing the young man at all. And he certainly did not regret living his life the way he chose to. It was not the best moment to " come out" but it was bound to happen eventually really. Might as well be now. " Exactly what is so unwholesome and foolish about the widowed headmaster of a private school kissing his ..... boyfriend, his single boyfriend, in his private office? ," Gerald responded while shaking his head and sitting down behind his desk in his chair. " I'm not sure why exactly you are surprised by mere affection, Mrs. Mayfield. "

Cassandra pursed her mouth tightly. " It is most unwholesome and foolish because it is an outright violation of your morality clause in your contract. You know? The one you willingly signed when hired by the board eleven years ago. "

Gerald's own lips pursed at her. " I don't consider two single people kissing to be immoral. '

" Well , I do especially if they are both..... men ! It's bad enough you allowed that male nurse with the disgusting sex education class to marry a teacher of the same sex. But now..... What if an innocent student would have come into your office and seen what I did? What would their pure little mind have thought about such behavior from a man who is supposed to be the moral backbone of this school? What if it had been my Zora ? "

Gerald had had enough of this nonsense that was interfering with his workday. " You mean your Zora who conspired with another student to pull a prank on a teacher with a disability? That Zora ? "

Cassandra shook her head at him. " I can see this discussion with you is an useless one. I shall be having an emergency meeting of the PTA and alerting the board to this..... this perversion of yours. I am just so perplexed. I never thought you, of all people, were one of them ! The thought ! "
