Summary: Rachel and Eddie are together but have not yet told the staff or pupils as do not want it to get in the way of their profession. They go on a trip together with other members of the staff when they find themselves caught out.

Rachel had been given a letter by Steph about a staff trip to France she mentioned that 8 members of staff should attend to this charitable event and that 8 rooms have been booked.

"Thank you Step i will announce which members of staff will attend the staff meeting" Rachel said kindly leading Steph out of her office,
"Good morning Eddie" Steph said smiling at him as she left.
"What did the staffs flirt want this time" Eddie said joking to Rachel
"She has set up a Trip for the weekend 8 members of staff need to attend the charitable event, it's to do with raising money for the new French labs" Rachel said rolling her eyes.
"Sounds like fun" Eddie said using a sarcastic tone
"Yes well we need to pick our lucky staff" Rachel said giggling
"Anyway Mr Lawson i assume you have a form awaiting your attendance" Rachel said backing him out her office door.
"Indeed i have, ill see you at break" He said and winked at her, Rachel couldn't help feel a big smile appear across her face and she was left staring at the stop in which we was standing in.

Break soon came and Rachel had been thinking about appropriate staff to bring as she needed good staff so they could make a good impression, Eddie so entered the room. He moved over her desk and kissed her lips tenderly.
"Hi Rach you been thinking of our staff members maybe the good looking members of staff you know to make them give the money" Eddie said teasing.
"Yeah and your certainly not going to be attending then" Rachel said giggling to her own joke
"I was thinking Tom Davina Grantly Jasmine?" Rach questioned
"Matt? well you're going to have to invite Steph she is the French teacher and it was her who organised the event" Eddie replied laughing at the unsure face Rachel pulled
"I was hoping you wasn't going to say that, so that all 8 then perfect"
Rach said smiling as she stood up and walked closer and closer to Eddie
"Excuse me Miss Mason but are you coming onto me" Eddie said teasing as he grabbed her waist and moved her body towards his own. They suddenly separated to the sound of the nock on her office door trying not to laugh at each other Rachel forced a "Come in" "Rachel I was wondering whether you had filled all 8 places as i need to get back to the hotel" Steph asked whilst wondering what they were giggling about.
"Yes all sorted you will be informed at the staff meeting you can secure our place" Rachel said smiling as Steph left.
Rachel then turned to Eddie "I think i better keep away from you Mr Lawson you seen to have a bad influence on me" Rachel Teased as Eddie left her office shaking his head at her teasing.

After a lot of paperwork the end of the day final came in a way Rachel was looking forward to the weekend would be a nice break. She collected all her bags together and headed for the staff meeting.

"Listen up" Rachel said raising her voice to try getting the attention of her gossiping staff. "I have chosen 8 members of staff to attend the charity event in France as we try to advertise are French lab, so that's Myself, Eddie (Rachel turned to Eddie as he smiled back at her), Steph, Tom, Jasmine, Matt Grantly and Davina, and i will be looking forward to seeing you all on Friday at the Mirilan Hotel at 7.00pm in France, That's all" Rach said smiling.
One by one the staff started to leave the staff room and Rachel headed back to her office with Eddie shadowing her along the way.
"Our first weekend away "Eddie said cornering Rachel into the corner of her office. "If you count a staff trip as a weekend away then yes I suppose it is" Rachel said smirking at him "Oh are you coming onto me Mr Lawson" Rachel said mocking him after the conversation that morning, Rachel put her hands at the back of his neck and slowly started to graze his neck as Eddie filled the gap between then and passionately kissed her soft lips they leaned in for a deeper kiss as Eddie had Rachel u against the wall as he pulled away from the kiss "I may have to come onto you more often" he whispered in her ear. They both collected the last of their things and walked to the car park.
