"Hi, my name's Stellar. I'm glad to finally meet you. Sky's been talking about you for a year now, and it feels like I know you already." Skyler's sister introduced herself.
The following morning is Skyler's birthday and he will be holding a fan meeting today. It'll end at 3 in the afternoon then we'll go to his parents house to celebrate and for me to get to meet them.
But first, I am going to tour the place with his sister since he'll be busy. He did offer me to join the fan meeting but there's a limited seat and his manager doesn't know of my existence. I don't want to cause him trouble so I declined his invitation to his fan meeting.
So his sister would be taking his place as my tour guide for today and we're also meeting each other for the first time today.
"Hi, I'm Fayrene. Please call me Fay. I also heard a lot about you. Let's have fun today." I replied.
"Why are you 2 so formal?" Skyler asked as he looked at the both of us.
"It's our first time meeting. I'm trying to give a positive image here." Stellar said as she hit his arm.
"No violence please." Skyler whined and I laughed at how cute the two of them are.
Stellar looked like the girl version of Skyler. She's so pretty. I look like an ugly duckling beside her. Actually, I look like an ugly duckling beside Skyler too.
"Are you ready to go?" She asked me and I nodded.
"Bring her back in one piece. Enjoy yourself too." Skyler bid us farewell.
"Don't worry. I will take good care of her. She's precious, you know, where else can we find another one who's willing to date you." Stellar retorted as we left the house.
"Sorry for that. Did you have breakfast?" Stellar asked me.
"Yeah, we did." I answered.
"That's great then. I heard from Skyler that you like historical places. There's one I know that's not technically a historical place but a themed place that made it look historical. They used it for filming and such but they're open for the public. Wanna go there?" She asked and I nodded.
We talked about ourselves on our way there and I found out that she's a vlogger, food and fashion vlogger. She talked about many interesting stories and I found it easy to talk to her. My nervousness from my first meeting vanished. She was very fun to be with.
When we arrived at the place, I was amazed at how beautiful it was. It feels like I traveled back in time. It looked like an old town except the buildings are new but made with old architecture. The staff are also dressed up in traditional clothes.
"Looks nice, right?" Stellar asked.
"Yeah. It's no wonder they'll film here. It feels like I've time travelled." I answered.
"Let's go in. They have some fun activities inside." She said as she dragged me inside.
She first brought me to an archery range. There are staff who are teaching us how to do it and you get prizes when you reach a certain point.
We went and tried all the different activities and saw some performances also. Stellar took some videos for her vlog too.
We ate our lunch in an old restaurant theme building. The food was not as good as I expected and a bit overpriced too but the scenery was awesome.
"This place looks really nice. The air is fresher too or is the place making me think it's fresher?" I commented after we ate.
"The air quality here is better. It's a little bit farther from the city that's why the air feels fresher here plus all these trees and greenery helps cleanse the air." Stellar answered.
"I want to retire in a place like this." I said.
"In a place like this?" Stellar asked, shocked.
"With all the trees and greenery. I want to have a house with a big enough backyard to plant my own food." I explained.
"Aren't you still young to be thinking of retirement?" Stellar asked.
"I am but I really enjoyed watching those cooking shows in the wild. Like I need some onions, wait let me harvest some from my backyard that spans across two mountains. Or let's cook fish today so let's go to the river in my backyard and catch some." I explained and Stellar laughed.
"I can't imagine you doing that but the idea is cool. Maybe I should try some vlogging in the wilderness too. Like survival kind of stuff." She replied.
"If you're gonna do that, be sure you have a proper team and a proper guide." I suggested.
We talked some more before we continued playing. We spent the whole day looking around the place and when the sun was setting, We decided to head home.
"Did you have fun?" Skyler asked when we arrived at his house.
"Of course we had fun." Stellar asked.
"We did." I agreed.
"My sister was not overbearing?" He asked.
"Hey!" Stellar complained.
"Nope, she's an awesome company." I answered.
Skyler was already dressed when we arrived so we decided to get going. Stellar left in her car and Skyler and I used his car.
"Do you think your parents will like me?" I asked once we were inside.
I'm nervous as I probably should be. People are the hardest creatures to deal with. They could suddenly hate you just because of the sound of your breath.
Skyler and Stellar are both nice people so it's very easy to assume that they both have great parents. But will they like me? I mean I'm not exactly a great person. I'm normal, I guess.
"They will. I know it won't help with your nervousness but they will like you. You're perfect." Skyler comforted me.
"I'm not perfect. There's a million reasons not to like me." I said.
"But I do. So what if you're not perfect for them? As long as you're perfect for me, I don't see any problem with that. Don't worry, my parents won't just suddenly hand you money and tell you to leave me." He said, trying to make me feel better.
I know that they won't show it if they don't like me but is it so wrong to hope that they would like me? I mean I like you so I want to try my best for you parents to like me too.
"Don't worry too much. I know you're nervous and scared and I wish there's something I can say to make you feel better but there's none so let's not prolong the agony and meet my parents." He said as he parked his car in front of a medium sized house.
I saw Stellar also waiting for us in front of the gate.
"Nervous?" She asked when I came out and I nodded.
"Don't worry our parents will like you." Stellar also tried to comfort me.
I smiled at her and felt really grateful for her words.
Skyler opened the gate and held my hands as we went inside his parents house.
