Moving In Togther

We decided that I would move in with Matt and Kelly. I couldn't have Matt move out and leave Kelly all on his own. Plus Kelly has become one of my best friends. I sold my one bedroom house, thankfully I didn't have much to move and now Matt and I are figuring out or dynamic now that we have moved
"Babe can you ask Kelly to sort through his whites. I'm going to do a wash"I tell my boyfriend pulling out whites out of our washing basket
"Sort his whites?"
"Yeah you know white shirts, bedding that kind of stuff"
"Errr"
"Please tell me you've been separating your washing"
"Yeah of course we have" Matt leaves our bedroom. No way have they been separating their colours. I take all of our things and head to the kitchen where our washing machine is. Kelly walks out of his room holding his things
"Matt said you wanted my whites?"
"Stick them on the counter top and I'll wash them after I've done ours"
"I'm also making dinner tonight since we're all off"
"Matt if you don't wife her up, I will" Kelly says making me laugh. Matt walks over to me and wraps his arms around my waist
"You've got no chance"
"While I finish unpacking I might have a little job for you"
"And what might that job be?" Matt hugs me tighter
"I need you to go to ikea and get me a couple of units. I'll send you a text with the ones I want, you can have my card, but can you also build them for me?"
"Sure" Matt kisses my cheek before letting me go
"Thank you"
While Matt and Kelly are out I open up the last of my my boxes and sigh pulling out a jumper that was my ex boyfriends. Why I still have it I couldn't say, I forgot all about it. So this box must be one that I never unpacked when I first moved to Chicago. I pull out more things out of the box checking if it's anything I want to keep or give away. I place the jumper back in the box and put the box on the coffee table to remind me to give the box to charity and I make a start on dinner.

"Hey babe you forgot this box" Matt calls as I plate up our dinner
"That box is for charity" I walk out of the kitchen to find Matt holding my ex's jumper "when I moved I never unpacked that box. I forgot what was inside. That's my ex's jumper. I would say lets just throw it in the fire and burn it, but 1. I live with firemen and 2. It's so bad for your health breathing in the smoke so, charity it is" Matt places the jumper back in the box
"Your a lot nicer than I could be" Kelly comments
"Well I am quite a nice person" I chuckle "dinner is ready by the way"
"Like I have already said if you don't hurry up and propose I will" Kelly pats Matt
"Dude it's not even been a year yet"
"So? When you know you know right?" Kelly shoves food into his mouth
"You just finish eating then build my shelves" I point to Kelly who salutes.

That evening Matt and I are in bed cuddled up to one another
"You know when I do ask you to marry me it will be a huge thing not just a throw away comment"
"How do you know I won't propose to you?" I ask Matt who looks a little shocked but then smiles
"Then I'd say yes"
"Well if you proposed to me then I would also say yes... just so you know"
"I'm confused does this mean we're engaged now?"
"I guess we're engaged to be engaged" I giggle cuddling up to Matt even more
"God I love you"
"I love you too"
"We need to find Kelly a girlfriend"
"Kelly doesn't need a girlfriend. He's enjoying his single life"
"I don't buy it. We're going to help get him a girlfriend. I'd say April would be a good match, but I'm pretty sure Ethan and April have a thing going on. What about Gabby?"
"They would probably end up killing each other"
"What about Erin? Jays partner?"
"I think there's something going on between them as well. He'll find the right girl when he's ready"
"I know" I sigh
"Get some sleep. We've both got long day tomorrow"
"Goodnight Matt"
"Night baby"
