Is this Real? Paisleywood

Chapter 20: Can It?

{Carrie's POV}
The things Caroline said really stuck with me, I honestly shouldn't have gotten that defensive about my marriage with Mike. The thing is I don't know if this thing with Brad could go any further. He invited me up to his new place and I thought I could talk to him about it. When I got to his house all I could see were boxes.

Brad: "I've unpacked a few but it's still kind of a mess."

Carrie: "No...it's great."

Brad: "Carrie...what's wrong?"

Carrie: "Um actually Brad we need to talk."

Brad: "Ok."

I go over to the stairs and take a seat, Brad stood in front of me with his hands in his pockets.

Carrie: "Where is this going?"

Brad: "What?"

Carrie: "Is our relationship gonna go any further than this?"

Brad: "What do you mean?"

Carrie: "Like where do you see us in the future, or is there even a future for us."

Brad started to smile.

Carrie: "What are you smiling about?"

Brad: "Care I see you in my future, but I also see kids, our dogs, a farm, and this house."

I was confused.

Brad: "There's a reason why I brought you up here today."

He reached in his back pocket and pulled out a box.

Brad: "I want to show you the home I'm hoping to share with you."

He opened the box and held up a key, I started to cry.

Brad: "Now I know it's not anything big, but I do want to spend the rest of my life you and I can only do that if I can spend every night with you. So Care will you move in with me?"

I stood up and gave him a hug.

Carrie: "On one condition."

Brad: "Name it."

Carrie: "You help me pack up my house."

Brad: "I don't know...I guess I could do that."

I start to laugh. I kiss him and grab a few of the boxes he already unpacked.

Carrie: "I'm stealing these...wait how about I help you unpack and we'll just use the same boxes to pack my stuff."

Brad: "Ok um let's start with the bedroom stuff first so we have a place to sleep tonight."

I grab a box that said bankers and carried it upstairs. I stopped in the hallway and shouted out to Brad.

Carrie: "Um Brad which room is the master?!"

Brad: "First door on the left!"

I open the door walk in and my jaw drops. It was the perfect room, it was big and had a very creative log bed frame. Brad grabbed me from behind and kissed my neck.

Brad: "Ya like it?"

Carrie: "It's beautiful. Where did you get this bed frame?"

Brad: "I made it."

Carrie: "It's really good."

Brad: "Yeah I made it when I was about 23."

Carrie: "When do you get the mattress?"

Brad: "It's in the hall."

Carrie: "How long do you think it'll take set the bed up."

Brad: "Well Blake should be here soon so it shouldn't take long."

Carrie: "Ok where are the..."

Brad: "Pillows are downstairs."

Carrie: "How..."

Brad: "Did I know what you were gonna ask...I know you Care."

He smiled and walked back downstairs, I started laughing. I opened up a few boxes and came across some photo albums. One said "Love" on the top so I decided to look inside and when I did I saw pictures of him and Kim.

Brad: "What are you looking at?"

Carrie: "Photos of you and Kim."

Brad: "Oh this must be one of Kim's boxes."

He looked inside and pulled out more albums all of them hers.

Brad: "Oh wait this ones mine."

Carrie: "Let me see."

He opens it up and the first thing I see is a picture of him holding up his first fish.

Carrie: "5 year old me would've been all over you."

He laughs and kisses me.

Carrie: "You were an adorable kid."

Brad: "I know."
