(Hey, everyone, I think this book is coming to a close. Maybe another 2-3 chapters and an epilogue or something. After this one is finished, I will not be adding any new books straight away because I have been struggling with my writing and updates this last year, as you have probably noticed with the lack of updates :( so, my plan is that I am not posting anything new until I at least have twenty chapters pre-written, that way I can update three-four times a week for the first month and work on new chapters as I go, so they are there for when the first 20 chapters have been posted. I do apologise for my terrible update schedule. I swear it isn't on purpose. I have just been struggling with concentration)

Today I was moving the last of my things into Kellan’s place. And Cassie was moving the last of her stuff into Barry’s place. I am going to miss her so damn much. Yes, we will see each other often, but it isn’t the same as living together. It will be hard to start with.

Tonight, we were having one last night in our apartment, just the two of us. We were going to order in, watch movies and drink wine. We have kept the TV and one bed in the place, so we have somewhere to watch movies and also to sleep.
I sigh as I stand in the middle of the empty apartment. I would miss this place. I can feel the tears brim in my eyes. It is all a little bittersweet.
“Hey, sweetheart, are you okay?” Kellan’s voice asks from behind, his arms slipping around me.
I rest back against him, “Yes and no.” I answer honestly.
He places his hands on my hips and turns me to him.
“Are you sure you are ready for this?” he asks softly, wiping the tears away with the pad of his thumb.

“Yes, positive. I promise it is just a huge change. I have lived with Cassie for a long time, and we made this place our home. I will miss it and her, but it is time for the next chapter of our lives for both her and me.”
Kellan pulls me to his chest and hugs me tightly.
“Yes, it is. Barry and I understand how hard this must be for you both, but it doesn’t need to change anything. Cassie is welcome over any time for a sleepover if that is what you girls need.”
He strokes my hair. I nod and hug him tighter. I am excited to move in with Kellan. I just need some time to adjust.

I let go of him and step back, “We should take the last of my things to your place.”
Kellan kisses me softly, “Our place. Not mine. Yours and mine, now, kitten.”
“Yes, our place.” I grin.
Kellan grabs the last two boxes to take down to the car. I look around again, even though I will be later today. I lift my handbag and keys before I head out to join Kellan.
He is standing against his car, waiting for me and looking sexy as fuck. Damn, my man is sex on legs. I stroll over to him and press my lips roughly to his before he has a chance to say a single word. He groans loudly and holds me against him, kissing back.
I smirk into the kiss before I remove my lips from his.
“Mmm, what was that for?” he pants and opens his eyes to look at me.
“Because you look damn sexy standing there. I couldn’t help myself.” I giggle.
Kellan chuckles, “Hmm, okay. You are welcome to kiss me like that any time you want, sweetness.” He winks.
Always such a charmer. He rests his hand on the small of my back and walks me around to the passenger’s side. He opens the door for me like the gentleman he is and helps me in. And, of course, he needed to slap my ass as I did. Not like I mind.
Kellan starts the car, “Ready, my love?”
“I sure am.” I smile.
He places one hand on my thigh as he drives with the other. I stare out the window on the drive, watching the city go by.
“You still with me, angel?” Kellan asks and squeezes my thigh.
I turn to face him, “Yes, I am.”
I move to place my head on his shoulder. He slips his arm around my shoulder and kisses the top of my head.
“I love you,” he whispers.
I nuzzle my face in his neck, “I love you too, Kellan.”
We stay silent for the rest of the drive. It is a comfortable one. It doesn’t take long for us to arrive. He grabs the last of my things and heads inside. I have already unpacked a lot of things, but there were still some boxes waiting to get done. I would finish them today before leaving for my night with Cassie.
“Where are these boxes for?”
“The bedroom, please, babe.” I smile.
He nods and disappears into his bedroom. Sorry, our bedroom. I follow, and he places them with the others ones.
“Welcome home, my love.” He says brightly.
“Yes, home.” I gush.
I can’t believe this will be my new home. It is crazy! I don’t think it would matter where we were; as long as we were together, it would feel like home.
“Do you want to unpack the rest of things? And then I can make us some lunch and coffee.”
I step into him, my hand on his chest, “I was thinking after I unpack, we could do something else. Celebrate me officially being moved in.” I purr and run my nails down his chest.
Kellan swallows hard, “Fuck, yes, please. I like your idea better.”
I playfully roll my eyes at him, “I thought you would.” I snicker.
I crash my lips to his and fist his tee. He growls against my lips, his hands running down my back and landing on my ass. He squeezes it, which causes me to whimper.
I put a distance between us, “Unpack, and then we can continue.”
He pouts at me, “Fine! I am sure I can wait.” He teases.
“You will need to.”
I pat his cheek and walk away from him. He watches after me, groaning in frustration. I smirk but don’t look back at him or say a word.
“Tease!” he chuckles.
I glance over my shoulder at him, “You love it.”
I lift all the boxes onto the bed and open them. I start going through them; it is mostly clothes, shoes and books. Kellan built me a bookshelf in our bedroom because there wasn’t one, and I have a lot of books. I found it very sweet.
“Is there any particular order you want the books? I can do those while you put your clothes away.”
“No, as long as they are all facing the same way.” I smile.
Once I empty the boxes, I hop up on the bed. I soon become distracted as I observe Kellan as he puts my books on the shelf. It makes me smile. I find myself watching him rather than doing what I was supposed to be.
I divert my attention away from him, only to let it dance around the room. I have stayed here plenty of times, but now, it is actually my bedroom, too; it hits differently but in the best way possible.
I can’t wait to make this our home. I couldn’t imagine living with anyone else in the long run. It would be perfect. It might be challenging sometimes, but I know Kellan and I will be fine.
I have seen a future for us for a while, but I didn’t think we would stay together so soon. I wouldn’t change it, though. I am right where I am supposed to be.
