It's stormy outside. It has been raining non-stop for two days now and just when you were wondering how the power didn't go out at once, that's exactly what happened. The entire base was engulfed in darkness, as if it wasn't enough that it was night. Luckily for you, you've already gotten ready for bed. Your black silk sleep bra and black silk shorts make you blend perfectly into the dark surroundings of your room.
You love this weather. Cold nights while it's raining and thundering outside. Raindrops hitting the roof and window are your favorite lullaby. Excited to get into bed and indulge in dreams, you get a text from Price to come to the break room. You groggily leave the room, but your phone turns off because you forgot to charge it, so you can't see anything in front of you as you walk. You can't find a lamp in the dark.
As you walk towards the break room, where the rest of the team should be, you feel hands grabbing you and pulling you into a dark room. You don't see who it is, but you feel soft lips kissing your neck, face and lips. Strong arms around your waist are holding you in place. Your brain becomes foggy and you surrender to the moment. You don't even notice when that person leaves the room and that you're left alone and breathless. For some reason, you're not mad because someone kissed you, but because they stopped.
You give yourself a few minutes to compose yourself and go to the break room. You want to find out who your mystery kisser is. You fix your hair and sleeping bra before you go inside. There, you can see how the boys are already sitting on sofas and armchairs, with a couple of lamps illuminating the room. They stop talking and look at you.
“Hey sweetheart. Did you have any problems on your way here because of the dark?” Price asked you, in the soft voice you've grown to love over the five years you've been working with the team.
“I didn't have any problems, don't worry.” You say, with your thoughts still on your mysterious kisser. You close the door and sit on the sofa.
