All along, Sky was the answers to my questions.
I finally faced my fear with the encouragement of Sky and called home to inform my family that I was at Cousin's with Sky. My parents had a talk with me on the phone but were relived and looking forward to see Sky on the weekend. It looks like not only I found comfort at Cousin's, my parents too.
For the rest of the week, I would wake up to a nice breakfast from him and we would do house chores together, we would do other stuff like baking or just a movie marathon which mostly consisted of 'Awkward' and 'Friends'. We often danced in the kitchen with music blasting with him being topless and me just in my underwear and his shirt that was a dress for me. We would talk about our childhood and also, our futures. In this past one week, we have gotten to know each other better. I am starting to feel certain about my feeling towards him too.
"And I remember when I was little, always loved to hear the love story between my mum and dad. Until now. They are still like a fairytale to me."
"What was their story?" I was surprised he asked that. I told him about my parents, how they went through ups and downs and eventually got married and had Ocean and I, and Ocean was quite protective.
"That sounds really sweet and like a fairytale, Matty never liked me, I was told that when I was a baby, Matty would throw his toys at me. But he is still my role model, he is the captain of the football team after all." There was an awkward silence.
"So, meeting my family tomorrow, are you nervous?"
"Kind of, but I bet it will be great." And it was.
Sky was like perfect. He won my parent's and my brother's heart instantly. He cooked a really nice dinner, bought fresh flowers, my mum's favourite, daisies. He wore a button-up shirt and khaki shorts. There was no silence at the table, there was common topics within my brother and him about soccer, my brother even gave tips for Sky, needless to say, my brother was liking Sky. He complimented my mother and never treated her like she was sick, he treated him like she was normal and took care of her well. My father? Was completely won over too. My dad asked many questions and he just answered them all, and I got a feeling my dad liked him from his expression on his face.
We were washing dishes while my family members were taking a rest in the living room.
"So did they like me?" He asked. He was nervous, I could tell.
"For the matter of fact, I think they did." I hope they did, but I was pretty sure they were.
Everyone went to bed, my mother came into the room.
"You look better." I said, that was what she always wanted to hear.
"So, Sky, what do you feel about him?"
"He's nice, understanding, and takes the time to know me better."
"Did he confess or something?"
"He did, but he told me to take my time if I needed."
"Well, he is a nice guy, we all loved him."
My family accepted Sky, it was my turn to accept him too.
It was close to midnight, I just keep tossing and turning. I could not sleep. I don't know if it was cause of the hot weather or the million processing thoughts in my head. My brain was blank, but at the same time, filled. There was too many things occupying that it just shut down somehow. I needed fresh air.
I tip-toed my way downstairs, trying not to wake anyone up. I was just in my t-shirts and underwear. It was quite cold outside, but my mind could finally breathe. I just relaxed on the chair.
"Hey." I opened my eyes, it was Sky. Of course. "Can't sleep?"
"Yeah, kind of."
"I will accompany you then, here, wear my jacket, it quite cold out here now." He took off his jacket and put it over me.
Was it time to DTR? Define the relationship. He was a nice guy, he just feel different. Maybe it was time to let him have my heart. Why am I holding back. He is a great guy who I enjoy being with. Should I accept him right now...? My mind couldn't make up it's own mind.
