Max sat in his darkened office, writing paperwork for the LEA, when Rachel opened the door in a fury.
He furrowed his eyebrows, bemused. 'What?' he asked, crudely.
'You gave Helen the job because you were sleeping with her?!' she exclaimed, furiously.
Max scowled, annoyed. 'How exactly did you find that out?' he enquired, just as angrily as she had done.
Just hear me out
'It doesn't matter. What matters is you have been unbelievably injudicious and unprofessional. I mean, for a normal teacher, that level of idiocy would take some doing, but you, you're an executive headteacher, you should know better!' she yelled at him.
If it's not perfect I'll perfect it till my heart explodes
He listened intently, but then got up from his seat, and faced her.
'Rachel, it happened a long time ago, before either of us even came to the school. It was a one-off, mistake.' He explained.
I highly doubt
'You didn't really care about her future did you? It was all about you keeping your reputation intact,'
That I can make it through another of your episodes
'And what exactly do you intend to do with this information?' he asked her softly, trying to hide the fear of being caught in his voice.
Lashing out
'What, you afraid I might tell your wife what you've been doing? Or maybe the board of governors? Or maybe even the LEA?' she said.
One of the petty moves you pull before you lose control
'You wouldn't. I know you, you wouldn't sink that low just to ruin my reputation,' he said, calmly. 'Well, maybe you didn't know me better than you thought you did,' she responded.
You wear me out
'Rachel, just stop it,' he said. She eyed him suspiciously. His shady figure moved over to her as she was trying to leave through the wooden door. He held her wrists and pined her to the purple wall, preventing her from escaping.
But it's all right now
His dark, shimmering eyes glanced at hers briefly and he then slammed the door shut with his foot, then taking one hand off of her, then quickly locked the door…
Let's go home and get stoned
'Rachel,' he whispered in her ear as he moved his hands across her, then caressed her shoulders. 'Max,' she said, hardly audibly.
We could end up making love instead of misery
'You don't know how long I've wanted this,' he murmured softly and placed a soft kiss on her luscious lips. She didn't know what to do.
Go home and get stoned
He was taking control over her. She wanted to get off him and go home, but she didn't. She couldn't.
Cause the sex is so much better when you're mad at me
Rachel and Max had hated each other ever since day one. He'd come to the school and tried to take over, putting her in a difficult position.
You wear me out, but it's all right now
But there we were – he was kissing her against the wall in their office. Still not breaking the kiss, he slowly started to take off Rachel's black blazer, then flung it down on the floor. She found herself removing his grey suit jacket, then she draped her arms around his supple shoulders.
Without a doubt
She took her arms off him for a second and held herself. He looked bemused, and brought his hand up to her cheek and stroked it slowly in an intimate gesture.
All the break up's worth the make up sex you're giving me
She stared at him, wondering whether she should leave or not, but then he knew she had made her decision when she pulled his tie so that he was close to her and their lips joined again in a bruising kiss.
Let's hash it out
She took off his tie and blue shirt and he stripped off her grey top. He lowered his hands from her neck to her thigh and he playfully ran it up and down. Then, he unzipped her skirt and pulled it down.
Cause your bitching and your yelling don't mean anything
She moaned lightly, and curled her nails into his dark wet hair, and for a minute they separated to take off the remains of their clothes…
Don't count me out
I can handle all the baggage that you're carrying You wear me out But it's all right now
