☼ timeskip: the next babysitting day ☼

we were sitting on the couch, watching some TV, since we put the kids down for the night. i keep glancing back at her, she's just looking at her phone and glancing back up at the show we're watching. i wanna pop the question, if she'll hang out and meet my friends and such.

looking at her and taking a nice deep breath, "hey sky, what are you doing next monday?" i speak and she looks up at me. with a perplexed glance, she takes another looking at her phone, putting a finger out signaling for me to hold.

i chuckle at her movement and i wait patiently for her to answer. "well what do you think i'm doing! nothing, to answer your question. besides be we normally hang out every monday anyway, so..." she says turning off her phone, jumping a bit on the couch.

"well, i have something new for us to do, if you're up for it" i say copying her jumpy motion. she motions me to continue, "okay, wanna meet some of my friends? it's only one actually, w-well and one of his friends is gonna be there. you don't have to go either, you can say no, i won't be offended or anythin-"

she cuts off my mumbling, scooting over to me and putting her hand over my mouth to stop my ramble. "i would love to go, i would just have to tell my cat and stuff, but yes i will go" she says and i let out a sigh of relief. "do i have to drive? i'm not sure if i want to drive" she says looking guilty.

"no you don't, i think daniel can pick us up" i say with a smile, and she smiles just back at me. 

"cool, cool, i can't wait for that" she smushes her face into the couch cushion.

i was lying on my bed, just getting back from hanging out with ruel. one direction playing softly in the background as i was playing with fin on my bed. "fin, do you think ruel likes me? i know he likes me as a friend, but i just don't know if this is a one-sided thing, you know?" i speak out to him. he purrs and rubs his face against me, then looking up at me with pouty eyes.

"yeah, i guess you'll never know until he really tells me" i throw my head back, me sitting up on my headboard. "you're my best friend, finley, just thought i'd let you know" and he purrs again, "i'm glad that you reciprocate those feelings towards me too".

"every body wanna steal my girl, every body wanna take her heart away... couple million in the whole wide world, find another one cause she belongs to me... na-na-na-na" i mumble along to the lyrics.

"find another one, cause she belongs to me" i sing by myself not following the lyrics anymore and just repeating those words. "do you think ruel thinks that about me, finley? no no no, i cannot think that, i can't make any assumptions".

i could get crushed if i find out he doesn't like me, and being a friend is better than not being in his life. i nod to myself, slightly biting my lip, over thinking this situation. he's requested for me to hang out with him, and he seemed just as nervous as i usually am around him.

i pick up finley and gently shake him around, "why finley, why does my brain do this to me!" i groan out. "maybe i should just sleep, yeah? what do you think about that idea?"

he looks up at me, circling his spot at the end of the bed, signaling that he's getting ready to sleep. "okay, let's do it, buddy" i say scratching his head lightly.

i get up to change and do skincare and such, and i see fin follow me out to the bathroom. washing my face, i see him hop up onto the toilet, just watching me, "you know you can lie down while i do this, right?" i question him. after saying that he hops down from his seat and i see him walk in the direction of my bedroom.

"okay, i think we're done here" i say to myself in the mirror, pushing back on the sink, and walking back to my bedroom.

i plug my phone in and finally hear one of my parents cars pull into the driveway, finally. finley comes over and goes to his spot, so i sit up to pet him. "thanks for being there for me, especially since you know who isn't" i say scratching him behind his ears.

i start to see his eyes closing and reopening slowly, meaning he's tired. "me too dude, okay let's sleep, we both need it" i say kissing his head, then returning my head to my pillow.

i overthink for awhile, just until i can't keep my eyes open anymore, and then just like that.

i'm out.
