Save Your Heart For Someone Who Leaves You Breathless

Chapter 28: Moving In

Zack’s P.O.V

     The wedding is about a month away. The house is literally a mess with stuff for it everywhere. Everything has been great but we’re all exhausted from so much planning. Today we finally decided if we’re going to make this whole situation work we need to move back to Baltimore and we need a bigger house. We’ve been thinking about it for awhile now and it might not be the most ideal situation for a soon to be married couple and six of their friends but hey, it works for us.

     We all load into the car and head down to Baltimore to look at houses. After hours of looking we found our best option. In the heart of the city we found an old big yellow house. Its four bedrooms and two bathrooms with a basement and sunroom with a hanging hammock. With a couple fresh coats of paint and new decor we can move in immediately.

     We drive back up to Philly to pack up the old house so we can get everything down to the new house as soon as possible.  

Katie’s P.O.V

     I get the last box from my room. As I’m walking out I can’t help but to reflect on a;; the things that happened here. This is where Alex spent his first night with me. Its where I was when he finally came back. This room has seen every side of me. It’s where I really did grow up. I turn off the light taking one last look and shut the door behind me.

      Julia, Brittany, Chris, and I take our keys and place them on the kitchen counter. Picking up the last few boxes we lock the door and load up the cars.

      Driving away from Philadelphia was a little bitter sweet but moving is what is best for the guys. They need to be closer to the people they work with and it’s not like the four of us are leaving much family or anything behind. These guys are my family.

     We get to the new house and to go pick our rooms. Everyone picks one but Rian. After a lot of thinking he decided it’s best for him to move out west and be with Cassadee. Alex and I get the master, Julia and Zack share the second biggest room, Chris is across from them, and with one room left we realize we’ve got one room with left with two people. In the room right across from ours, Jack and Brittany have to share.

     Since we barely have enough furniture to fill a room we moved the beds into their rightful places and headed to bed.

      The next morning we all go to the store to get paint so we can start decorating. The guys start painting the upstairs while we start the downstairs. After finishing the last wall in the kitchen Julia and I go upstairs to check on the guys progress with the laundry room. When we walk in half the room is neatly painted in a light blue. Through the paint you could clearly make out a shape.

     “Why is there a penis on the wall?” I ask sighing rather unsurprised.

     The three guys laugh and Zack tells, “Well you see when we starting painting we just wanted to see what the color would look like so Jack painting the penis. You would think that the other coat would hide but obviously not.”

     “It’s a nice touch actually. Like some people hang pictures but we have penises,” Julia laughs. We finish all the painting and start setting up rooms. By the end of the night we have the kitchen and the upstairs office in order.
