Tyler and I decided to tell our parents about our engagement over dinner this weekend. I've decided to put my ring away until then. After working a shift at the diner, I begin to climb the stairs when I hear my name. "Mia!"

I turn around to see Derek, one of the bartenders, smoking as he walks towards me. "Break?" I ask.

He nods. "Yeah. I just wanted to let you know that Danny guy you were seeing was around here a few times while you were away."

"Dominic." I say automatically.

He nods, pointing at me. "That's it. Do I need to take care of him?"

I shake my head. "I'll handle it. Thanks."

"No problem."

I go into the house and begin cleaning. We've only been back for a couple of days and the house is already trashed. Tyler does what he can to help out but there's only so much he can do before he has to go to work.

Hopefully when we get married we can move into a bigger house because this two bedroom apartment isn't working anymore. I didn't plan on having another kid so I thought it'd be okay. But Addison's stuff is overcrowding my room. Her crib, dresser, toys - everything.

We need at least a three bedroom house. But I don't know if that'll happen seeing as Tyler still lives with his parents. Maybe he doesn't want to move away from them. I don't know but I need more space. It's something we definitely need to discuss

After the house is spotless, I go to my bedroom and turn on music before getting into the shower. I sing and sway my hips along with the music until the shower door opens. I shriek. "Tyler! You scared the shit out of me." I yell, smacking his chest.

He chuckles, stepping into the shower. "Sorry, babe. How was your day?"

"It got a lot better when you stepped into the shower." I smile.

He smirks. "It can get way better."

He walks towards me until my back is against the wall and he's pressed against my front. I rub my hands up his chest, wrapping my arms around his neck loosely. "How was your day?"

"Good. I missed you."

"I missed you too." I smile.

He presses his lips to mine before taking a step back and grabbing the soap. I take a moment to come back down to earth before pushing away from the wall. When I turn my back to him, he begins washing my back and massaging my shoulders. I love this man so much.

When we get out of the shower I quickly get dressed and sit on the edge of the bed. I watch him closely as he drops his towel and reaches in the drawer for his boxers. He turns to look at me as he slips on a pair of black boxer briefs. I love that he wears briefs. Seeing him in them drives me wild. Dominic wore boxers and it reminded me of an old person.

Why am I thinking about Dominic?

I quickly push the thought aside before leaning back on my elbows. "I like those."

He stares at me with confusion. "What?"

"Boxer briefs." I point my toes to trace the lines on them. "I like the way they fit you... It's sexy."

Grabbing my ankle, he pulls me towards him quickly and picks me up. I shriek as I wrap my arms and legs around him. He takes me to the top of the bed and lays me down and kisses me. "I'm glad you like them."

I bite my lip. "I like what's underneath them."

He smiles, brushing the hair away from my face. We stare at each other for a long moment and I begin thinking about the house thing again. "What are you thinking about?"

Realizing he's still standing I try to move but he holds me still. He stands, leaning over the bed between my legs with his elbows holding him up on either side of me. "Why don't you sit?" I ask softly.

He lightly kisses the tip of my nose. "I'd much rather stay between your legs. What are you thinking about?"

"Well... this place is kind of small. I need at least a three bedroom. I figured we could look for a house after we got married but I realized you still live with your parents." I say. "Do you not want to leave home or something?"

The corners of his mouth twitch into a small smile. "I don't live with my parents. They live with me."

I furrow my eyebrows in confusion. "What do you mean? You grew up there."

He nods. "Yeah. I did. But when you were in California for college they almost lost the house. Well, they did actually." He sighs. "The house got foreclosed on and we moved in with Steven's family. We put our stuff in a storage unit and stayed in their basement."

"For how long?" I ask.

He shrugs. "Only a month or so. They put the house on the market for relatively cheap so I got my shit together and bought it. They were so happy. I figured I would stay there until I found the one then leave the house to them."

"So you want a house?" I ask.

He smiles. "Of course. I have been looking for one for a few months but I haven't liked any of them. Now that I have you we can look together."

He stands up straight and stretches. "What do you think about getting married in California on the beach?"

He raises his eyebrows. "My family wouldn't waste money on plane tickets."

"Matt brought up the idea of getting married in California. I didn't want to at first but I began thinking and I want a beach wedding. He said he'd fly our families there."

He crosses his arms. "Does it have to be in California though?"

I smile. "I guarantee you he will let you pick one of the cars to drive us around in. Our 'Just Married' car could be a Rolls Royce or a Lamborghini. Just think about it and I'll talk to him about it."

"Okay."

My eyes widen in surprise. That was easy enough. "Okay?"

He nods. "Okay."

Gosh, I love him so much. Hooking my thumbs in his boxers, I push them down before taking him in my mouth.
