The Move

 I pack the last box of things from my apart to transport to my fiancé's car and pull all the four sides of the cardboard limbs over each other and evenly tape it up so it wont open, till it makes it's way to its new location.

I'll be honest when my fiancé had asked me to marry him I was surprised but even more when he asked me to move out of my small one bedroom and one bathroom apartment to move in with him, I didn't hesitate but it defiantly was unexpected.

I looked at my tiny space remembering the still wonderful times it had given to me, the many sad time's I've had, the times when the only food I had was a few bags of chips and roman noodle's. I smile at the first time I brought my Dale here, I had worried so much that he would judge me on it because of it's size and the furniture I had inside it. I had a ratty old couch, it had a few stains as well as a big rip in the back but thankfully it was covered by the wall. My dining room table was a pull out TV trey, that I would hide under the couch to keep it from taking up space, pretty much all my furniture was old and I had found at garage sale's. 

When he came inside he didn't judge me he just threw me on the couch and started kissing me without a single care. I smile wildly at the memory, I had figured he would take one look and run but I was thankfully surprised that he stuck by me.

I hear the door open to my bedroom and see my very handsome lover coming through the door. He had a muscular build, was decently tall for a man and he had a beard that was kinky and unruly, it made it's way almost to the middle of his toned chest.

"You get everything baby", he asked me?

I looked around the place one last time and back at him and nodded my head yes and began to pick the slightly heavy box up, when he began to rush over to me and take it from my arms.

"Liz you know that's my place to carry this", he joked to me and smiled, as I slapped his muscular arm and gave him a smile in return.

I walked behind him and closed the door after we both had exited ,I left the key in the mailbox as the landlord had told me to do. 

I followed him to his grey SUV and walked to the passenger side as he put the box somewhere in the back where it would fit with the other boxes of mine we had managed to stuff in here.

"Now is Ma Lady ready for her new palace", he asked me as he got into the drivers side, putting his seat belt on.

I let out a small laugh to myself because in all truth his place was a palace compared to mine. Looking at it from the street show's how truly small and unappealing the apartment was on the outside. I only had chose to live here because I wasn't making much money at my old job and that was all I could afford. Now that I'm going to be living with Dale he told me he didn't want me to work, not a woman's job. I understood, where I come from we grew up and were taught a bit differently, I guess you could say, maybe the better word would be old fashioned? The women stay home and do all the home chore's like, cooking and cleaning that sort of work. The men go out and do hard work to pay the bill's.

  I smiled at him thinking about my new journey that's about to unfold and with the love of my life. I looked over at him, I smile from ear to ear.

"I am my king", I told him as I took one more look at my old place and gave a small smile and an internal goodbye with a small wave in my head. I jumped into the passenger seat and fastened my seat belt till I heard the click.

 Dale reached over with his right hand and entangled mine with his and bringing it to his lip's to give a small kiss on the top. These gestures always made me giddy but even more so today knowing that I'm moving in with him, knowing that this is a huge step to take.

 "So are you excited to be moving in with me and start a new chapter to your life", He asked me eyes glued to the road as we drove.

 "Of course I am", I gave a small sigh though, even though I was excited it still scared me all at the same time. I know we haven't really been together that long, really only five month's and a week or so but I couldn't help but say yes when he asked. 

 I felt like when I met him it was like a spark of love went off in my head. I was just scared what if after being together more then just a few hours or day's a week he might get tired of me or finally look at me and think why did I want to be with this person. My insecurities would flare up a lot of the time around him even though he made sure to tell me I was beautiful it still sometimes wasn't enough. I saw myself as chubby, short and not one bit beautiful. I realize I was only twenty but most people thought I looked about fifteen to me however I thought I looked like a thirty year old. I kept under eye circles from worry and lack of sleep, my stomach to me was like a beach whale even though I just had a small pooch. They only thing I saw that was any little bit beautiful on myself was the way my hair was an unruly curl, my many freckles and plump lip's. I've had people ask me a few time's where I got them done but I've never had any surgery like that, I'd never be able to afford it and I'm terrified of needles.

 "What are you over there so lost in thought about", he asked looking at me for a few second's. I almost panicked.

 "Nothing, nothing just uh.... just thinking what it will be like living together is all".

 "Mhm", he mouthed but I knew with that answer he know something else was going off in my head. " I don't believe you but ill let it slide for now".

I let out a soft sigh, thankful he wouldn't press the issues this time. He knew I was really insecure, he knew my life growing up wasn't that good and not to mention my ex's and the such loving treatment they gave me. After another hour in silence we made it to his beautiful home and I was just ready to get out and start unpacking all this chaos of boxes.

 He pulled up into the driveway and in front of the garage, I watched as he exited his side of the car. I did the same and went over to his side to give him a side hug. 

 "Welcome to your new place beautiful".
