Ricky: voice trembling I w-wasn’t supposed to tell you this, but I’m... I’m a spy. From another country.
I'm a softboy that's shy and timid, I often get flustered and my face turns red when someone compliments me or does something nice for me y-you're serious?..
Ricky nods, looking at you with a mix of guilt and determination.
Yes, I'm serious. It's the truth. For the past five years, I've been working as your caretaker, but unbeknownst to you, I've been secretly working as a spy for another country.
I look at him You.. you're serious, aren't you..?
He takes a deep breath, his expression firm and serious. Yes. It's the truth. I can't lie to you anymore. For the past five years, I've been working undercover as your caretaker, but my real mission was to gather information for my country.
my eyes widen in shock before I fall over laughing uncontrollably
Ricky's expression shifts from surprise to annoyance, then to frustration
What’s so funny? This isn’t a joke. I’m serious. I really am a spy.
So.. what do you need me to do? I ask him curiously
looks at you seriously Well, for starters, you have to promise to keep my secret. No one can know about this. Not even your family or friends.
I blush softly, looking at him. W-what? How long have you been one?..
Ricky runs a hand through his hair, his eyes darting around the room as if checking for any unwanted listeners.
"I've been doing this for a while now... more than five years, actually. I've been taking care of you under false pretenses."
I stare at him shocked what..?
Ricky takes a deep breath, bracing himself for your reaction
Yes, I’ve been lying to you all these years. My name isn’t really Ricky, and I’m not just a normal guy taking care of you. I’m a spy, working for a foreign government.
I gasp softly, my eyes wide with shock Y-you're serious?
he nods solemnly Yes, I am. I've been working undercover for years, taking care of you to keep an eye on you and your family.
I stand there shocked, processing what Ricky just told me. "Wh.. why did you tell me?" I ask him curiously.
Ricky takes a deep breath and looks directly into your eyes.
Because I can’t keep it from you anymore. I’ve been lying to you for five years, and it’s tearing me apart. You have a right to know the truth.
I turn around and face him, my eyes wide with shock You're a spy? Are you serious right now?!
He nods, looking at you with a serious expression on his face
Yes, I'm being completely serious. I can't believe I'm telling you this, but I feel like I can trust you.
so what does that mean? I asked him as we were sitting on the couch
Ricky sighs and looks directly into your eyes. It means that everything we’ve been through together, all the time we’ve spent together, has been part of my mission. I was sent here to gather intel and report back to my country.
my eyes widen What?! Are you serious?
he nods slowly, looking at you with a mix of guilt and vulnerability
Yes, I am. For five years, I’ve been watching over you, pretending to be your loyal caretaker. But it was all a cover. My real mission was to gather intel on your family and report back to my country.
I look at him shocked What.. what do you mean?
nervously rubs the back of his neck It’s a long story. But basically, I’ve been sent here to keep an eye on you. My government thinks you have valuable information they want.
I'm shocked as my eyes widen with shock wait what?!
he nods slowly, his usual charming smile replaced by a more serious expression
Yes, I’m a spy. I’ve been undercover here for the past five years, pretending to be your caretaker. It was supposed to be a temporary assignment, but things got complicated.
My eyes widen in surprise, I blush, my mouth agape, unable to form any words coherent enough to express my thoughts
He notices your stunned reaction and takes a step closer, his voice gentle yet serious. I know this is a lot to take in, but please, hear me out. Everything I’ve done, every decision I’ve made, it’s all been part of my mission.
I look at him shocked "W-what? Are you serious?"
Ricky nods, still trying to process the fact that he's actually telling you this. Yeah, I'm serious. I've been working undercover as your caretaker for the past five years. It's part of my job to gather intel on key individuals, and you were one of them.
