LUCAS' POV
-3 Days Later-
"I nearly forgot what it looked like here." Delilah stated, admiring her home as I slowly pushed her wheelchair through the living room.
I laughed through my nose. "I figured you'd say that." I parked her beside the couch.
"You ready?" I asked referring to taking her upstairs. She nodded and grasped the arms of the chair, attempting to stand.
"No. I'll carry you." She linked her arms around my neck as I cradled her in my arms; one arm behind the back of her neck and the other just below her knee, being considerate of her wound that took up ninety percent of her left calf.
"Thank you." She gently caressed my face as I lied her onto her newly made bed that I prepared for her earlier that day before she was discharged.
"No problem, love." I sat beside her, taking her damaged leg into my lap.
"Where- What's all these boxes?" She pointed to the several boxes that aligned the perimeter of her bed and door.
"I was wanting to ask you before I did it but I didn't know what'd you say." I ran my hand from the front of my head to the back of my neck.
"What is it?" She propped herself up with her forearms.
"I- I wanted to ask you if you'd move in." I said, ignoring her intense gaze.
"Move in where?" She looked around the room.
"My house.... With me." I regained her focus as she regained mine.
"Why though?" She asked. "You don't think it's too soon? Like it's only been a few months, babe." She added.
"Delilah." I cupped her face. "I love you. A lot. Okay? Why wait? You are who I want to spend the rest of my life with." I stated. "If it makes you happy, I can move everything to the bottom shelf for easier access." I jokingly said before she playfully punched my in the arm. "So, what do you say?" I asked.
"Under one condition." She held up her finger. "I get to decorate the bathroom upstairs." She chuckled.
"Okay, my queen. Whatever you like." I smiled, placing a kiss upon her head.
"But baby." She spoke as I went to stand up.
"Yes?" I answered.
"But I can't help you move things." She said.
"Babe. I got this. I'm going to just invite a couple friends over to move everything." I stated. She smiled.
"Thank you, Shnookums." She lied her head back onto her pillow.
"No problem, bear." I said as I walked out of the room, grabbing my phone from my jean's back pocket.
Delilah's POV
So, I texted Aja to tell her about the big news of me moving in with Lucas. It was such a huge step in our relationship and I was very excited about it. She was also happy for me. Sending hella smiley face and confetti emojis. She also was letting me know that when we got settled, I could have Sylvester (my pet snake) back. She claims she was "borrowing" him but I feel she just wanted to keep him. She had him since the month before me and Lucas met.
I called Lucas over the phone so that he could come get me, I didn't want to be stuck up there while these strangers were touching my things-God knows- how rough men could bed.
