Pain and Love

The Apartment

Hardin:

It's been a week since Zed moved in. The jealousy of Zed being around Tessa is becoming unbearable even though I know she wouldn't cheat. I just hate him being around her. It also means I can't be as touchy with her around the dorm just in case. We also aren't having as much because we are worried Zed will hear us. I couldn't care if he heard me. I just don't want him to hear Tessa.

It has also become really cramped in the dorm with Tessa's stuff around the living room, my room and now Zed has moved most of his stuff into his room. I can tell Tessa hates how messy the place has become and she is desperate to have her own space where she can actually have her stuff out in the open and not in boxes.

I found a couple of apartments for us to look at if she is happy with the idea. They are both in the building that's near work and campus. I had a look around them during the week and I really liked both of them so hopefully if Tessa agress and has a look at them she will like them as much as I do.

It's Thursday and we had no classes today so we have just been in the dorm all day. Tessa has been doing assignments whilst I caught up on some work I had due. We had just had dinner and I know I have to mention the apartment thing soon so we can book time to look at the apartments if she agrees.

"Umm Tessa can I talk to you about something?" I say as I sit at the island whilst Tessa cleans up. I did say I would do it tonight but she argued with me that she was adamant to clean up.

"Of course Hardin" she says

"Well I just thought we can't live like this till I leave college so I looked at apartments for us. I thought we could move in together only if you want to though. I get it if you think it is a stupid idea though"

"No it is not a stupid idea Hardin. Just how would we afford to live in an apartment, I have no job and..."

"Don't worry I can pay for stuff till you find a job" I interrupt and say to her

"But we don't know how long it will be till I get a job. So far I have applied to like 20 places and no one has wanted me"

"Yeah well baby they are stupid for not wanting you. Don't worry about the money. I will have that all under control till you get a job. I just know that you hate living here like this and I know that I do also want to live with you. I know it's a big step but I want to do this" I ramble out and she is now looking at me like she is about to cry.

"Hey don't get upset over it baby" I say to her and go over to her and hug her.

"I just can't believe you would do all of this for me. You know what? Let's do it, let's move in together. It is a big step in our relationship but I want to take it" she says and has leaned out of the hug to look at me.

"Really?" I say excited

"YES" she says loudly whilst giggling. I lift her up in my arms and spin her around, we both laugh as we move around.

"Hardin put me down before I threw my dinner back up" she says and I laugh, i then place her down on her feet.

"So we are moving in together" I say with a huge smile on my face

"Yes we are Mr Scott" she says with a smile. I then lean in and we passionately kiss.

After our moment kissing I pull out of it.

"I better go and book an appointment to view the apartments" I say and give her a kiss on the head and leave the kitchen and go into the living room and book the viewings.

After a while Tessa comes into the living room.

"Did you get a viewing time?" she asks and comes to sit next to me.
