This is huge for Cape Verde !!

We said from day one that we didn’t want to rush things and, to be fair, I think we’ve done a decent job so far !!

Yeah exactly ^^

So she got back from holiday on Saturday and yesterday we finally got to spend some time together again. I was so excited to see her again, didn't even realize it until I saw her again 😭🥰

We started late afternoon with a long walk, just catching each other up on our weeks. She told me more about her holiday, showed me a bunch of photos, and we really managed to spend hours just walking and talking (and enjoying the nature) without running out of things to say. It's kind of wild to me how easy that part is, especially because I usually do kind of struggle with small talk irl (like face to face), but with her it just doesn’t feel like I am struggling at all.

Afterwards we went back to her place (she lives alone, big win!!) where we set up a sort of picnic dinner (it was already 8pm, and we felt like we were starving). We ate, talked (and flirted..) some more, played a card game, and just enjoyed each other's company. Nothing particularly 'exciting' happened but it felt really comfortable.

After that we put on the World Cup game between the Netherlands and Japan. It started very casual, just the two of us sitting next to each other on the couch, trying to watch the game, but constantly looking and smiling at each other. At some point I couldn’t really hold it in anymore and I asked if it was okay if I held her while we watched (Thank god she was okay with that, because otherwise I think I would have been so embarrassed lol).

And yeah, from that moment, it just became really soft. We naturally kind of “settled” into each other without thinking about it. We ended up cuddling a bit, little kisses, hands on each other (like those small touches and the occasional “is this okay for you” to make sure we were still on the same page) that just kept happening without either of us making it a big thing. Like the game was there right in front of us, but the real focus was just on us existing in the same space and both kind of loving that. It was sooo soft and nice 🥹🥹

I left about half an hour after the game ended, and this morning my alarm went off at 6:15 and I genuinely feel both completely broken and kind of magically happy and smiley at the same time 🫠

Uhhh, until this ask I had genuinely never heard of doing PE barefoot as a usual thing😭

For us in the Netherlands (at my school at least) we had to wear gym shoes (or if you forgot them, then you might end up barefoot for that lesson 😅). The shoes needed to have a light/non-marking sole so they wouldn't leave black streaks on the gym(hall) floor.

This is nothing personal towards you anon (but this ask was like not insane and weird imo), but more in general and after this I’m probably not going to talk about it anymore 😅

The reality is that we have absolutely no idea what’s going on behind the scenes and what their plans are; it’s all assumptions and guesses from our (fans/followers) side.

I also don’t really think we should be feeling things for them, if that makes sense. We can hope they’re happy and doing well, but beyond that we genuinely don’t know enough to be sad, worried, or upset on their behalf. I don’t think that’s particularly healthy.
