As this thought hit her, her breathe caught as she rambled on. "I know that Mario does keep some treasures in his trove. You know when he's showing me all his old dusty games and the consoles needed to play them, you know I feel like he's a kid again and I'm a kid again. He's the one who is playing big brother stuck at his game while I'm watching him. Being close there right with him does give me that nostalgia that I know he's chasing. I love sitting there with him and watching and understanding his strange hobbies."

There was a strange restlessness to his eyes as she shaw a shot of green that was melted with yolky sun, Kai was looking at her from the corner of his eyes. "It would be a pleasure to have you around for an afternoon. I'd love to enjoy a game with you." His accent was strange a mixture of coastal people and something oddly velvety like it was he wanted her closer than they were now.

"Oh my god, I can't believe that you finally agreed to it." Vasko slapped Afuru on the shoulder excitedly. "We'll make good plans when I get some time off after finishing with my woman. You'll understand my man when you get loved up and you got one of your own."

Vasko pulled out his phone and turned on the phone's light as he started to zoom in on the young college girl who was the frontrunner of the current punk band that was running to an EDM concert. Through her thin see through top, her bare chest occasionally was in an awkward position where he would snap several pictures at once with an obnoxious sound as his phone's ringer and sound were turned way up.

Afuru's eyes were drawn to the sound and his absolute loathing as Yuliya realized that at this vantage point only she could see it. It was surprising that he was allowing her to see his expressions was something that bothered Yuliya. Why her? But before she could ask, Afuru was already uncomfortably close again. His body strangely called to her as she could smell the salt of his strange woodsy cologne again, maybe it was aftershave? It had been so long since she had liked the way that a man smelled this much. It didn't distract from his disgusting under smell of body which in Mario was always the disgusting thing that made her move away from him.

"You should check your Instagram DMs when Vasko is not looking." His lips almost touched her ears which made her shiver. There was a strange feeling that traveled to a place that had been bone dry for as long as she had been married. His hands touched the side of his phone in a strange way but Yuliya was sure that he wanted her to be reading whatever he wanted her to see as soon as possible. The head of his phone was warming up the insides of her leg.
