Nica's POV

Once we play a few more rounds of candy land (I won the last two games) it's about 5:30.

"Okay okay fine I'll give you the win but I'm done now" says Ruel

"Yessss. I told you I'm the queen of candy land!! But you gotta help me clean up." I say laughing.

"Fiiiiiine" he says dramatically.

Every time our hands touch I feel warm and fuzzy inside.

He makes me feel so......alive.

Gurl you gotta stop yourself!!

I go put away the board game in my bedroom and when I come back out I see Ruel standing in the living room.

He was staring at a blank white tarp on the back wall of the room.

Oh god. He's gonna find out.

"Uhhhhh whatcha looking at?" I asked nervously.

"What's behind the tarp?" He asks.

"The tarp? Umm nothing." I lied.

"Really?" He asked suspiciously.

"Yup. Just a tarp." I said.

"Anyways, do you wanna watch some tv? we can order a pizza or something" I say changing the topic.

"Sure"

"Are you okay with getting pepperoni?"

"Yup" he says

I call the pizza people and order a medium pepperoni and some breadsticks.

"They said it's going to take about 30-45 minutes." I say rolling my eyes.

"Okay. I also wanted to say thank you. For letting me stay and feeding me. I really do appreciate it." He says looking right into my soul.

"Oh really it's no problem."

"Well I just wanted to say thank you. Now what do you want to watch?"

"Hmmmm what about kung fu panda? The first one."

"Oh yes I love that movie!!" Says Ruel excitedly.

We both sit on the couch and snuggle up next to each other. I guess we are more comfortable around each other now than earlier.

After a couple minutes I feel his arm wrap around me.

I put my head on his chest and smile.

This feels so right.
