Moving

Three weeks after Thanksgiving Carina and Maya were finally able to move into their home. Not surprisingly, time had flown by since their first visit. The boxes had been packed since that celebratory Thursday and the apartment seemed sadly empty now that everything was packed. On Monday, December 17, they had an appointment with the notary and left with the keys in their pockets.

On Monday evening, the firefighters of the A-team, Jack, Andrea and Sam, as well as Travis and Michael had come to help the two young women to move in. They had gone to do a little cleaning before everyone arrived, there had been practically nothing to do, the previous owners, having left the place very clean.

A human chain had been made to bring down the boxes from the second floor of the apartment to be stored carefully by Dean in the U-Haul, he was very meticulous. Maya had left her old fridge with Andy because the new house was equipped with an American refrigerator. She had also left the couch because she and Carina had bought a new one, which they would receive the next morning, along with some furniture, a dining room table and chairs, all matching. As well as a washer and dryer for their laundry room.

Once the 25m3 was loaded, they had all followed the moving truck three blocks away. Carina had gone to open the door.

/Flashback/

-" we made it! we are owner!" made the blonde while leaving the notary.

-"Thank you again, thank you for this incredible life", Carina replied and kissed her.

- "are we going home?"

-"Yes, I took some cleaning materials, so that tonight we can put everything down and we can tidy up as we go along."

They had arrived after a fifteen-minute drive. Maya had parked in the driveway. Carina had gone around the car to get the vacuum cleaner and other household products from the trunk.

- "no wait, let's go see the house and we'll come back and pick it up later"

- "okay, boss!"

Maya had gone to put the key in the lock, Carina at her heels. She opened the door and stopped for a second. Then she turned around and grabbed Carina to carry her, one hand behind her back and one under her knees, like when they had gone to Olympic National Park for their first year, to get past the entrance step, which made the Italian girl laugh. Then she had closed the door with a light kick.

-"I love you Carina" said Maya looking at her companion who was still laughing, with a look so loving that the Italian had stopped short.

- "I love you" she had replied, tightening the embrace of her arm around her neck, mindful of her burn, and turning her head, with her second hand, resting on her jaw, to kiss her.

Quickly Maya had put down delicately Carina on the ground, while keeping the contact of the arm which was around her waist and by putting her second arm in the same place. To come then plated the Italian to the door of the cupboard which supported the staircase.

Once again a human chain had been made and in less than 30 minutes the truck was unloaded and each box was in the right room. The girls' bed was now in the room below. With the suitcases and the few boxes with 'room' written on them.

Dean, Andrea, Travis, Lucas and Jack had made a second round to pick up a few boxes that had been left at the apartment, while the rest had started unpacking some boxes under Carina's supervision.

The boys had returned 30 minutes later and the end of the boxes were unloaded. Maya and Dean went to bring the truck back and by 8:00 p.m., everything was well underway.
