we stood in the door way for awhile, just talking about random stuff. at this point we have been texting for a little bit as well, and it's a part of my day i look forward to.

"so you're babysitting with me tonight?" i say confused, as he nods his head. ruel's mom mentioned how him and coco would be taking turns spending time with me.

"why are you confused?" he shoots back, head tilting to one side.

"oh nothing, i just thought that you and coco switch off.."i said looking around.

"hmm, well maybe i'll be the only one babysitting with you," he says with a smirk, teasing me, and making my cheeks heat up.

"ruel stop," i say avoiding his gaze.

we fall into a comfortable silence, me still standing in the door frame, and sharing awkward glances. i look just past ruel and see kate rushing towards the door.

"hi! sky, how are you? ruel, honey, let her inside," she exclaims, and i smile towards her, thanking her silently. i step inside and set my bag on a bench by the front door.

"i'm good! thank you, mrs. van dijk," i say towards her, while she shakes her head.

"please, call me kate" she smiles warmly, and i nod acknowledging it. "you know all the rules, so you and ruel are going to be great."

ruel and i look at each other and nod towards kate in agreement.

"oh and sky," she says making eye contact with me, "do you want to babysit weekly?"

"do you want to babysit weekly?"

my mom's words ringing throughout my mind, "sorry, i need to use the bathroom," i say slipping past my mom.

once i'm sure i'm no longer in view of my family or skylar, i squeal like a little girl, and jump a little in excitement. making my way in the bathroom, and doing a little dance.


i

could

get to

hang out

with sky

every

week.


i go to the calendar app on my phone, making a new event for sunday's. babysit with sky. and i clicked done.

i walk out of the bathroom, trying to keep my cool in front of everyone else. i still see sky and kate talking my the front door. "hey, i'm back" i say with the biggest grin covering my face.

"okay, sky next week i think coco is spending time with you s-" i cut off my mom

"i can just help her every week, mom." i mumble and see sky's face turn more into a smile.
