April 6th, 2019

" hey eva? " i hear someone asks me as i scrub the dishes from breakfast
" hmm? " i hum
" me and august want to go out for the day, and then he'll take a cab back to berkeley. do you mind babysitting shawn? " arabella asks
i laugh, placing the sponge down
" of course not, go have fun " i tell her and she smiles, kissing my cheek
" this is why i love you " she squeals
she runs back into the living room, grabs august's hand and then they run out the door

" where'd they go? " shawn asks, coming out of the bathroom
" out for the day. i was told to babysit you " i giggle and he laughs
" alright, then. if you were a cool babysitter, you would've made a plan to make sure i have fun while my parents are out " he smirks
" you think i haven't? "

" shawn i swear to god put your card away " i spit as the waitress places the check on the table
shawn and i had went out for lunch, i told him i was paying on the way here, which he disagreed with but let it go
i guess this boy just doesn't like to listen
" no! you made me breakfast and let me crash! i'm paying " he says, slipping his card into the check pocket
" shawn please just let me pay " i pout and he smiles
" you're lucky you're cute. but you're still not paying " he tells me and i groan as the waitress grabs the check
" i'll buy you ice cream on the way back " i tell him
" evangeline, you don't need to buy me anything " he tells me and i huff
" yes i d- "
" spending the day with you is enough for me, evangeline " he tells me

i'm at a loss of words, once again
i just look at him, blushing
he just smiles at me as the waitress comes back, returning his card and telling us to have a good day

we both stand up, and walk out of the restaurant
i suddenly feel a hand intertwine with mine
" is this okay? " shawn asks
i look at our hands and blush, but nod

" thank you for everything today, evangeline " shawn says as he puts his shoes on
once we got back from lunch, we had watched a few movies
" of course " i tell him
" i hope to see you again soon " he tells me, pulling me into a hug
" which will most likely happen " i tell him as he smiles
" i'll be sure to text you later on " he nods
" oka- wait, i didn't give you my number? " i furrow my eyebrows
" i have my ways " he smirks, leaving me alone in my apartment
