Move In?

As the months passed and school ended, I realized Louis was sleeping over a lot more. I was thinking about this one specific morning when a thought entered my head.

"Hey Lou?" I asked. Louis turned around from his spot next to the stove, where he was setting a kettle on.

"Yes honey?"

"I was thinking, um, why don't we move in together?" I said nervously. Then, I realized how stupid my question was. Why would Louis give up his huge flat to live with me in this little apartment. Louis looked at me weirdly and opened his mouth as if to say something, but I cut him off first.

"You know what, never mind. It was stupid." I looked down at my shoes, ashamed. Suddenly Louis was in front of me and his hands were rubbing up and down my arms.

"Honey look at me." Louis said gently. He looked into my eyes before saying, "I would love to live with you."

"Really?" I asked hopefully.

"Of course. Maybe you can move into my flat, yeah?" I nodded anxiously.

"Well I'll be back later to help you pack up and stuff, but I have something to do in the meantime, so I'll come back in a couple of hours, okay?"

"Oh. So we're starting to move me today?" I asked shocked that he was in such a hurry.

"Well I want to. I mean, I'm so excited to start this new chapter of our lives. I can't wait to be with you, April." He said it so genuinely that I ran up to him and wrapped my arms around his waist, while burying my face in his neck.

"I love you." I whispered into his skin.

"I love you more." He replied before pressing a kiss into my forehead.

"Okay now I'd love to stay right here all day but I've got to go. Bye honey, love you." Louis said quickly while grabbing his stuff and walking out of my apartment.

I wonder why Louis was in such a rush. He didn't mention where he was going, and that made me even question him even more. Anyways, as I got in my car, ready to go buy packing supplies, I realized what just happened. We're moving in together. This is huge. I got a giddy feeling all over and I couldn't stop smiling. "We're moving in together." I whispered to myself.

"Knock Knock." Louis said a couple hours later, while knocking on my already opened bedroom door.

I turned around and walked over to give him a light peck on the lips. Louis, however, placed one hand on my lower back and his other hand on my cheek. His tongue lightly brushed my lips and I pulled away with a starry eyed look on my face.

"Well hello." I said cheekily. Louis just winked and smirked flirtatiously. Ugh he was just so darn cute. How did I get so lucky?

"Lou did you come to help me pack?"

"Not exactly. I have a surprise for you." He said before pulling swiftly placing a cold, hard object in my hand. I opened my hand and my heart melted at what I saw. He had made a copy of the key to his apartment.

I looked at him sweetly before standing on up on my tip-toes to whisper a small "Thank You" before trailing kisses down his neck.

Louis tightened his grip on my waist and burried his face in my hair. I ran my fingers through his hair before realizing that if I wanted to be all moved in before next week we needed to continue packing.

"Lou?" I whispered hastily.

"Mm?" He murmured against my hair.

"I've got to finish packing."

"Oh right. Well know that I'm here to help it will be easier and faster, right? Maybe you can even move in tomorrow!" He said it with such an excited tone that I couldn't help but smile and nod happily.

"Maybe. But we have to get a move on."

And we set to work.

Turns out, I didn't have that much stuff. All we needed to pack was my clothes, shoes, etc. and my books and school stuff, since I rented the flat fully furnished. We were done by four o'clock the next day. While I called my landlady and organized all the legal stuff (I ended up just leaving my keys under the mat and the contract on the kitchen counter) Louis took one last look around, making sure I hadn't forgotten anything. I hung up the phone and gave him a small smile. He returned it with an even bigger one and soon we were both beaming like idiots."Well," I said "This is it."

"This is it." Louis copied.

We helped the movers haul all my boxes into the truck and gave them Louis' adress.

I grabbed my purse and Louis grabbed his jacket and we left my apartment. For the last time, I locked the door and placed the key under the welcome mat.

"Well there's no turning back now." I said nervously to Louis. Don't get me wrong, I wasn't having second thoughts, on the contrary. I was just scared that after a couple of days Louis realized he didn't like the way I chewed my food or something. It seems stupid but I was just scared.

"Are you getting cold feet?" Louis asked worriedly.

"No, no of course not!" I said quickly to reassure him. "It's just that I'm kind of scared that you and I will break up one day and I'll just be a homeless bum living on the street, ya know?'

"April. There is no way, and I mean no way, that you and I will ever break up. I'm going to marry you someday, you know that?" I blushed slightly yet smiled nonetheless.

"Yes." I said softly.

"Was that you saying yes you know that or yes you will marry me someday?"

"Both." I said with a smile. I grabbed Louis hand and dragged him down the stairs and outside the apartment building.

Louis opened the passenger door for me like the true gentleman he is and we got in his car. As we drove away from my old apartment I waved slightly to the building, pulling a small smile.

"Did you just wave to your apartment?" Louis said trying to hold back a laugh.

"Yes, yes I did. It's perfectly normal if you're wondering." I said with a giggle.

Louis grabbed my hand and smiled at me reassuringly. I smiled back and squeezed his hand.

As I thought about our future together, I couldn't contain the smile that crept onto my lips.
