Welcome back, everyone. Enjoy and review.

8:10 PM

In the doorway of Basil's home, the couple kissed. The two had basically spent the afternoon post-school together and were well on the way of spending the evening together until Venus remembered that her aunt was working the next day and had to return home, which resulted in Basil and Venus kissing for a full ten minutes straight.

Venus broke the kiss and said: "Basil, I really must be going."

Basil gave a disappointed look. How disappointed he could have been when he and Venus had gotten intimate earlier was anyone's idea.

"Come on, my love, how about you stay the night again? After all your aunt isn't heading out to work until you get home from school."

"And what do I tell her when she asks where I was tonight?"

Basil shrugged. "I don't know. The truth? At a friend's? Just stay the night with me."

"Basil, I wish I could spend the night in your arms again but I really should be going. Aunt Mitsu is being called in early tomorrow so I have to bring Mabel to school and then pick her up." Venus gave Basil a gentle kiss on the cheek. "You can still walk me to school. I promise. Mabel and I will be waiting for you, me most of all."

Basil gave a smile and then kissed Venus on the lips. "Good night, Venus. I love you."

"Good night, Basil. I love you too." So did Venus depart from Basil's home and head for her own.
