Slowly everyone starts to leave the empty old warehouse until only Ruel and I are left. It is already so late that the sun begins to set.

I enjoy the sun on my face as I lean against the high wall of the warehouse as Ruel puts the stuff in the car.

Then suddenly the heat in my face has disappeared and I open my eyes. Ruel stands right in front of me, barely leaving any space between us.

Yasmine: "Ey, I was enjoying the sun. Suddenly a stick insect appears in front of me."
The grin on his faces grows big again.
Ruel: "Yasmine Darcie Gray, you need to stop teasing me. You're driving me crazy."
Yasmine: "Do I do that?" I ask in a tone as if I don't know anything.
And here comes the tension again. It shoots up into the air with a fast rising line.

Our eyes are glued to each other's lips, longing for each other. And then Ruel goes in for the kiss. Butterflies escape in my stomach as his big hand touches me at the same time as his lips. He pulls me close and I wrap my arms around his neck. I take his lower lip between my lips and our pace slowly builds up. My hands bury themselves in his soft hair, pulling at the roots as Ruel strokes my lower lip with the tip of his tongue. Asking to enter. My lips part slightly and our tongues meet. They leave a tingling sensation. Our lips move in perfect rhythm with each other. My body is on fire and adrenaline is coursing through my veins. Ruel leaves my lips, but then finds the skin of my neck.  My head tilts to the side, exposing more skin. And then a small moan escapes as he starts sucking my skin. I can feel him grinning against my skin. His warm breath makes my body heat up even more. He has me completely in his power.

Our foreheads rest against each other as we try to catch our breath. We both have the most pure smiles on our faces.

Ruel: "How bad can you miss someone's lips?"
Yasmine: "That's going to be something. You haven't been able to touch them for a few hours." I say smiling.
Ruel: "But you made me long for you." He tells me when he looks straight at me with his happy eyes.
Yasmine: "You managed to control yourself well."
He tries to wipe the grin from my face, but he can't.

I'm starting to get a little cold because the sun is gone. We get in the car and drive back home.

Ruel: "Would you like something to eat?" Ruel asks as we drive over the illuminated highway in the dark. This day has made me very tired, so I almost fell asleep.
Yasmine: "There's a McDonald's Drive-thru in here right?"
Ruel: "Yes, that's why."
Yasmine: "You can go there if you want."
I haven't eaten anything since lunch, so I'm actually quite hungry.

Ruel drives into the drive-thru and orders some food. I hear chicken nuggets, a Big Mac and French fries passing by.
Ruel: "Would you like some more?"  Ruel asks as he looks at me over his shoulder.
I shrug my shoulders.
Ruel: "Some sugar... Add the donut balls please."

When Ruel has paid and we have our food, we park the car in the empty parking lot.

Yasmine: "I had a good time today." I say to break the quiet silence.
Ruel swallows his bite and turns to me.
Ruel: "Yeah me too. Thank you for wanting to do this despite everything."
I give him a smile and continue eating.

Almost all the food is gone as I see the donut balls in front of me on the dashboard. I take one between my fingers and call out Ruel. I see that he has empty his mouth so I throw the ball in his direction. He catches it with his mouth and looks at me proudly, showing me the proof. Enthusiastically I boost his energy. I find that it makes me happier myself.

We drive up the dark driveway of Ruel's house. Together we get the bags out of the car and put them down in the hallway. There is a very small amount of light coming from the living room. Furthermore, it is completely dark.
