MOVE IN...

"I'm not taking the furniture and the TV, but I'm taking most everything else and definitely all my clothes and the blanket on the bed" she said closing up one suitcase and starting on another one

"We can paint the bedroom and change anything in the bathroom you want"

"I do want to paint the bedroom... I was thinking we could do chalkboard on the wall behind the bed and maybe do the rest in Grey or something" she smiled, and before I knew she had finished getting packed up, and we were carrying her stuff out and putting it on the back of my truck and heading back to the house we now called home.

I put her stuff on the truck bed, and we climbed in and the first song on the radio was one of her many favorites, I cross my heart by George Strait

She closed her eyes and started singing along with the biggest smile I've seen on her face in months

She sang from her heart and sounded amazing just like she always did.

I decided to video her and by the end of the song I knew, totally and completely that there was absolutely no doubt in this world that I loved this girl sitting right here in my truck, and she was the one I was going to marry.

I got the truck backed up to the porch to unload her stuff, we met at the tailgate and I pulled her in my arms and leaned in to kiss her, I've never had a kiss feel so right in 26 years, this kiss is show stopping amazing, just like the girl it came from.

"Do you know something jack?" she asked smiling as she looked at my chest since she was so much shorter than me

"What's that?" I asked smiling

"I love you" she smiled and leaned up to kiss me again to which I answered by picking her up and holding her up.

"I love you too, I chuckled shaking my head between kisses

"alright let's get me unloaded and unpacked, so we can start getting everything else settled" she said with her arms around my neck

"such a buzzkill" I groaned dramatically laughing before I pecked her lips once more and got to work unloading the truck and carrying her stuff in after she unlocked the door

"drama king" she laughed

We got the truck unloaded and her unpacked and settled in before we headed downstairs to finish up

—Bailey POV-

2 weeks later we laid in bed together at 9 in the am and I rolled over to face my still peacefully sleeping giant, I laid there awhile watching him sleep as my head laid on his bicep

"How could I not know it was you all along?" I asked myself

"Morning, Darling'" he said still half asleep

"morning honey" I smiled laying my arm over his ribs, taking in his scent, he smelled of warmed worn leather and axe body wash

"What's got ya up so early?" he asked almost awake

"baby its 9am" I chuckled, and he rubbed his eyes before looking over at the clock on his phone

"Y'know I should be up working with dad but... I'm taking the day off" he trailed off looking down at me

"I could do a couple shoots since I had all mine rescheduled for tomorrow rather than today" I said thinking about being able to spend a whole Saturday and Sunday with jack rather than just the nights.

A month after we moved in together we got engaged... On July 4th... our families got together, and he popped the question... even Kaden came home

"Will you marry me?" he asked on one knee, just like his parent had always taught them
