I woke up full of excitement. Ashton and I officially move into our apartment today. Last night, my brothers wanted to have a 'sleepover' in my room since I wouldn't be here anymore. It was cute. They made popcorn and everything then slept on either side of me.

It was weird standing in my room with most of my things packed up, but I was excited. I was excited to be more on my own but to also live with Ashton, even if people think we're moving a little fast.

I started packing my car up when Ashton texted me and told me he was on his way to the apartment. Our mom's were going to help us get set up. Right now, my mom was taking my brother's to Anne's house so that Lauren could watch them and Harry while my mom and Anne could help Ashton and I.

By the time I finished packing my car, my mom got home. We put a few things in her car then we headed off to the apartment.

When we got to the apartment, my mom parked in visitors parking and I parked in the designated spot next to Ashton's Jeep. He must've been watching for me because as I got out of my car, he came walking out,

"Hey!" he grinned, hugging me then pecking my lips, "I thought your mom was coming too?"

"She did" I laughed and opened my trunk, "She parked in visitor parking"

"Ahh okay. I think my mom parked over there. They might walk over together" Ashton chuckled and grabbed a couple of boxes. I grabbed a few as well and followed him up the stairs.

When we got to our door, he opened it and let me walk in first. Boxes were simply scattered everywhere and the furniture was just sitting in the middle of the room.

We finished grabbing boxes with the help of our moms then started getting everything unpacked. Our moms gratefully cleaned while Ashton and I unpacked the boxes. We were just doing the main living room and kitchen area. Ashton and I were gonna do our room later after we went and got groceries.

"I think this will go better if we move the furniture first" Ashton laughed as we walked around aimlessly trying to decide where everything was going to go. I agreed and we started moving things around.

We moved the couch back against the wall and moved the coffee table centered in front. Then we got the TV set up on the tv stand,

"Good job guys" Anne grinned at us from the kitchen. Ashton and I laughed and actually got to unpacking.

****

Two hours later, our moms have left and we had everything unpacked and put away,

"Grocery store time!" Ashton cheered, grabbing his keys off the hook by the door we had just put up,

"Ash" I laughed, "I think my car is going to be the better option for the groceries"

Realization came over his face. There was no way we were getting groceries into his two door Jeep,

"You can drive tho" I grabbed my keys and tossed them to him. He caught them easily and we headed out and down to my car. Ashton opened the passenger door for me, letting me get in then closing it behind me. Ashton then ran around the front of the car and hopped in the driver's seat.

We got to the grocery store fairly quickly considering it was only ten minutes away. We parked and headed inside, grabbing a grocery cart which Ashton pushed,

"We should've made a list" Ashton laughed,

"We really should have" I agreed, "I guess this time we will just go up and down the aisles"

"Let's go babe"

I chuckled and followed behind Ashton.

We got a lot of what we wanted and needed and made sure we had stuff to make meals with. The last thing we were needing was cold brew coffee,

"Let's get the Starbucks one" I spoke. Ashton didn't argue against it so I grabbed it,

"Oh we need like Keurig cups too" he then spoke as we walked away. I nodded and let him lead the way, both of us grabbing which ones we liked, then we headed to check out.

Ashton and I settled into bed in our new apartment for the first time,

"This is kinda crazy" he chuckled, pulling me to where my head laid on his chest,

"It is but I'm happy and excited we did this" I grinned, hugging his torso, "We're all grown up"

"Yeah. And we're starting college in a couple of months" Ashton kissed my head as he spoke, "Once we graduate, we'll get married, get a house, then maybe start a little family"

My heart swelled listening to him say that. I didn't know he thought about those things. I mean, we are just eighteen. But if felt good hearing him say those things because that meant he sees me in his future, and I definitely see him,

"Sounds perfect" I smiled, "I say four kids"

Ashton chuckled,

"Four?" he questioned,

"I want an even number so someone always has a buddy" I shrugged,

"Four is perfect then" Ashton whispered, "Maybe we will have two girls and two boys"

"Maybe. I bet they'll all look like you" I laughed,

"Nah" Ashton shook his head, "Our girls will look like you I bet"

I smiled and snuggled into my boyfriend some more,

"I love you" I spoke,

"I love you too Pay. Always will"
