sky and i have been babysitting together, every sunday. it's the day i look forward to the most, and usually she'll stay the night, then leave the next morning. we keep getting closer, and my feelings have... developed. it's just difficult because i can't tell what she's feeling ever. maybe it's me, maybe i just don't know how to read people, or she's just hard to read.

whatever

we've only spent time together while babysitting, but today i'm going to try and take the next step. i don't want to scare her, but i'm going to ask her to hang out. maybe after she sleeps over, we can go to the mall or something. get something to eat? i'll think of something.

that went smoother than i thought, i think i'm gonna bring her to a little restaurant. super small and i go there a lot, meaning i won't get caught with fans. the restaurant owner, james and his family, told us that our secret is safe with them. i go to this sweet restaurant with the group all the time, all of us with some social media presence, but that's where we go when we want to go out, but still want privacy.

through talking with sky, over many many weeks, i found out she likes italian food. it seems like fate, that the restaurant has the best italian i've ever had. calling james, and giving him a heads up that i'm coming in a couple days. he likes to tell staff, just in case anyone is new. he's really thoughtful, and always makes sure we're safe.

☼ timeskip: sunday ☼

ruel is taking me out, just to hang out, but still. i feel special. ruel's personality has been captivating me for the past couple of months, and i can feel myself falling. i try my best to hide it though, because i have a sense he doesn't feel the same.

i started becoming more relaxed about what to wear to babysit, but to a hangout? i have no clue what to wear. thoughts bubbled throughout my mind. are we going somewhere nice? should i wear a dress? are jeans formal?

well, whatever i wear, i have to wear to babysit. i'll just assume that it's casual, settling on a cropped pink shirt, blue denim jeans, and a cream colored sweater. simple, and i guess you could dress it up, but i'll assume this is enough. 

very recently, i got a cat, which i named finley. i'm not particularly a cat person, but when i saw this cat, and his calm demeanor, i thought it would be great. because of my parents working so much, they were willing to get me a companion. fin's great, he helps me with fashion, advice, etc. whether he actually helps or i'm just taking his actions as answers, he definitely helps.

"what do you think fin, too much? too little?" i say posing in front of him. we do this a lot, little fashion shows for my self esteem. he did what i thought was a signal to hair ties, so i grabbed them and started doing hairstyles, watching for him to give me a sign. he gives a signal for yes, once my hair is in like a half up, half down situation. 

"okay, good?" and he meows then purrs. "great! thanks buddy," i say and give him a kiss on the head.

i would never leave him home alone if i knew he wasn't going to be ok, but i spied on him for a little one day, and he did basically nothing but ate. i know he's going to be ok, especially since i tested it. but i have little cameras, just in case.

"food is on the counter, and i'll be back tomorrow!" i yell as i rush out the door to babysitting.
