I am yours. {#Wattys2016}

49.

I got home that day late in the afternoon. It was such a peaceful day and I came to the apartment to see Scott relaxing on the couch, with his laptop on his lap. He looked up at me and smiled widely. "Avi!" He greeted me loudly as he stood up to give me a hug. "I've been waiting for you to get home"

"That's sweet, but why?" I asked curiously.

"I wanted to ask you something?" He started. "I've been looking at houses in the area that seem really nice to live in..."

"Ok, but why are you asking me?" I questioned.

"Because I want us to live together.." He answered. Internally, I was doing somersaults and screaming for joy. He wanted to move in with me. I mean we already had but he wanted to move the both of us to a new location together. "If that's ok with you"

"It's fine with me." I sat on the couch next to Scott and we searched for almost 2 hours before we found a house that appealed to the both of us.

It was a 2 story house that was near the coast. It had such a beautiful landscape. It was in a great neighbourhood. We booked the date to go see the house in real life. We were so ready.

Later in the day, we found ourselves back on the couch watching a random TV show. Scott had his arm draped around my shoulder. I had my head rested against his shoulder. It was such a comfortable position and I did not want to get out of it.

"Scott?" I asked out of the blue.

"Yes?l" He responded.

"What are we?" I asked curiously. We're together romantically or platonically? I wasn't sure at all.

"W-What do you mean?" He asked slightly confused whilst furrowing his eyebrows.

"I mean...I mean are we together? We've had sex so many times and you've told me you love me. So many times. And I don't know what you mean by that anymore and I just need to know. Do you love me the way I think you love me?"

He turned to look at me. He looked me lovingly in the eye. "Yes. Yes I do." He kissed me softly on the lips. "I've always loved you. I was looking for the right opportunity to ask this but I guess this is as good a time as any. I want you as my boyfriend, if you'll have me?"

"Yes. Yes. 100% yes. I love you Scott" He hugged him tightly.

My boyfriend. My lover. My own. Scott was mine and I was his.
