secretly dating kyra preece
pairing: kyra preece x gn!reader
tags: secret relationship, colleagues to lovers, 'open secret' - everyone knows you two are dating except cove
your relationship with kyra is sort of an open secret! yet the only person who isn't allowed to find out you're dating her is cove – her son!
kyra doesn't want to just introduce any person she goes on a date or two with to cove! if she's to introduce you to cove, she wants to make sure that you are someone she's in a stable relationship with!
and so, during the first few parts of your relationship, kyra and you decide to keep your relationship a secret!
everyone at work knows about the two of you and kyra even told clifford that she's gone on a few dates with you, but when cove comes to visit during the fall, the two of you suddenly have to act like you're just colleagues and nothing more!
since cove is going to be around for a couple weeks, it might be easiest to avoid each other for that time, but kyra and you can't really stay away from each other for that long!
so sometimes after work, the two of you will have little dates at nearby cafes, disguised as ‘work meetings’. and every time, kyra apologizes for treating you like some secret…
“i'm sorry for putting you through all this. but i promise you, if we're still dating by the time cove visits me next year, i'll properly introduce you two! no more secrets then…”
