New to Montreal, I, Rosalie is starting school at McGill University studying to be an athletic trainer. I use to live in Denmark with my family, but wanted to go to school in a different country. I hope to make new friends, find a job, start fresh...
Waking up the next morning with the sun actual shining for once, I couldn't wait for what was to come during the day. I turned over to face Nathan, and was so happy that we had made up. On the outside he looks like a big tough guy, but he's a real softie. He especially looked like a big softie when he was sleeping. Sometimes it looked like he was smiling in his sleep, not having to worry about anything.
When I sleep that isn't the case anymore. There are many nights when I can't sleep because of nightmares from my experiences. Other nights I get sleep but wake up almost every hour because my nightmares wake me up. I believe that getting our own apartment or house will be good for us. For me this move will let me escape the demons that plague me when we are at Lars and Julie's apartment. When I'm there I just think of everything that has happened to me, and things that have happened between Nathan and I. Finding our own place to call ours will be a well deserved fresh start.
"Nathan wake up." I kissed his lips, but he wasn't waking up.
"Come one Nate it's time to find a new place." I said and kissed him again.
His lips formed a smile and he let out a quiet chuckle.
"What's so funny?" I asked.
"You were staring at me again?" he said.
"Guilty as charged." I laughed.
"Come here." Nathan said holding out his arms.
I reluctantly snuggled up against his chest.
"Tell me about our future place." Nathan said.
"Well I really want a house, but if we can only get an apartment that is fine. Ideally I would love it to be modern, but with some classic touches. At least 3 bedrooms with 3.5 baths, parking for two cars, and a big kitchen. You know how I love to cook so I need a good space for that. Oh and I will be needing a good size closet, but so will you because you have tons of clothes Mr. Fashionista." I told him.
"You are the cutest you know that?" he asked making me blush. "Can't believe I can still make you blush."
"It's hard not to when you are so deeply in love with someone." I said and he leaned down to kiss me.
"I love you so much, Rosie."
"I love you too."
"Is there anything else you need to add to the list?" he asked.
"Well I really want some green space just in case we get a dog or in the future for kids." I said nervously because I didn't know how he would react to the kids part.
"Kids?" he asked.
"I mean we don't need to worry about this now." I regret saying that now.
"We should talk about this. I see a future with you, and I don't know when you'll be wanting to settle down and have kids, but I'm ready whenever you are." he said and all my worries melted away.
"I don't want them anytime soon, but maybe in three years or so after you really settle into the NHL. My biggest fear is that I'll be pregnant and you get traded close to the due date. You'd be leaving me to pack up everything while you head out to a new team. But trades are a part of hockey life so I will just need to accept that if it happens to us." I explained.
"I'm so glad that we are on the same page about that." he said kissing the top of my head.
"Are you ready to go look for a new place?" I asked.
"Let's get going babe." Nathan smiled.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Nathan and I had been looking for houses and apartments for half the day now and we were not impressed with anything that the relator was showing us.
"Nate maybe we should stop and look again some other day." I suggested.
"Let's just see one more, and then we'll quit for today." he said.
"Okay let's go." I said.
We got into the car with the relator and he started to drive towards Westmount. I've seen some pretty nice houses up there, but never really looked at them. Nathan pulled up in front of the most beautiful looking house I have ever seen.

"Wow this is really nice." I said in awe.
"Well let's go check out the inside." our relator said.
On the first floor there was a dining room, living room, breakfast room, kitchen, and a half bath. The kitchen had everything that I'd want in a kitchen.

On the second floor there were four bedrooms, each having their own bathroom, and then there was a master bedroom/bathroom. Connected to the master bedroom was a balcony giving us a beautiful view of the city.

Nathan came up behind me and wrapped his around around me resting his head on my shoulder.
"What do you think?" he asked.
"I think this is it babe." I smiled up at him.
"Good because it's already ours." he said and my jaw dropped.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"I knew that you'd like this one a lot because of what you told me you wanted in a house this morning so before we left to go see houses I called our relator asking if we could purchase this one." he said holding up a set of keys.
"Oh my god Nathan thank you so much." I pressed my lips to his.
