Shh...
No one should know.

I planted a light kiss on his lips.
A quick yet passionate action of affection. Something to tell him that I accepted his confession.
He returned my kiss and hugged me tightly. His arms pressing me against his chest.
I could hear his heartbeat. A quick and wonderful sound. He then let go and placed his hands around my cheeks and spoke.
" I don't think the others should know."
He looked at me with seriousness in his eyes.
Why should they not know?
Are you ashamed to be with me or scared about what they might think?
But I didn't want him to leave and accept his decision because deep down... I was also scared.

He and I walked back into the room and awkwardly sat back in our chairs.
The meeting continued and I was glad that no one had suspected anything from what ha happened.
I look over at him and we make eye contact.
We both smile.
