Love Is Not Over {Editing}

Moving In

"Can you grab my keys? They are in my back pocket."

"Yeah babe." Adam reaches in and his hand lingers there for a moment before giving my butt a small squeeze.

"Wow, it's not like this box is heavy or anything." I comment sarcastically.

"Sorry its just right there" he gives me a cheeky grin.

"Hurry up! I'm hungry." I glare at him.

He unlocks and opens the door and I set the final box on the ground.

"Wooo what I day." I say and plop myself on the sofa.

He sits down next to me and starts opening the boxes of food.

"Yeah all that back and forth was tiring."

"At least it's over, now I just have to unpack but that's a job for tomorrow. Right now I just want to eat and sleep."

"Mhmm" he nods in between bites of food.

"You know, I already thought of what Ima name this place." I say.

"Hmm?"

"Jen's Gem."

He laughs. "Wow so original."

"Okay maybe it's not extraordinary but it has a nice ring to it. Since it's my first apartment, I will treasure it for the freedom it gives me."

"Yeah you are really adulting..and I'm just happy we have some privacy now. Now hurry up and shove this food in your mouth so I can shove something else in there later." He looks over and raises an eyebrow.

I roll my eyes. "Eww shut up. Besides I'm pretty tired."

"That's okay, just sit back and I'll do all the work" he winks.

I smack his shoulder and we continue eating.

By the time we finish it is almost midnight and my eyelids were feeling heavy. I lean back into the cushion and begin dozing off when I feel poking on my arm. "Jen. Jen... Jeeeeenn."

"Hmmm" I mumble.

"Let's go to bed."

"I just wanna sleep here. I don't wanna move."

Adam sighs before pulling me up and practically dragging me into the bedroom.

The following morning I awaken to the sound of water streaming from the shower. I look at the time. 

10:13am. I slept for almost 10 hours! All the moving yesterday really wore me out and the fun would only continue today when I unpacked.

I stretch my arms over my head and get out of bed. I walk over to the bathroom door and call to Adam. "Hey, do you need a towel or anything?"

"Nah I got some of your shower stuff out of one of the boxes. But you could come in here and join me if you want."

"What I can't hear you? I'm making pancakes." I smirk and make my way into the kitchen.

I pull out my skillet and start preheating it while I prepare the batter.

20 minutes later and I have blueberry pancakes topped with bananas and maple syrup ready on the table.

Adam walks in and inhales deeply. "Wow that smells delicious."

"I bet it tastes even better" I coon with a giant smile plastered on my face.

"Thanks babe" he smiles at me before we dig in.

We devour the breakfast and feel more than energized to begin unpacking afterwards.

After a few hours of setting everything in its place, arranging the furniture, and then rearranging it, a majority of my possessions have found a place in the apartment.

The only thing left was unpacking my clothes, which I would do after Adam left.

He looks down at the time and says "Wow most of the day is gone. I guess I should go back home now, you sure you don't want me to help out with the bedroom?"

"No it's okay. You already helped out so much this weekend, you should go home and rest. I know you work early tomorrow."

He nods before adding "So what do you plan on doing before classes start?"
"Hmm I definitely need to go get groceries. Besides that I'll just settle in and get my textbooks and look over the syllabi. Oh! And meet up with some friends."

"Friends? ... Any guys?"

I laugh. "No not any guys. But it's easier to say 'friends' than 'Sarai, Emma, Ally, and Mariah" I pause, "and Chris..."

"Who the hell is Chris?!"

I burst out cackling. "I'm-I'm just kidd-kidding." I say between cackles.

He leans over me and hisses "That's not funny. I think I need to remind you who you belong to."

He pulls my face towards his and he kisses me hungrily.

Adam pulls away and whispers "Babe. We finally have privacy, you are settled in here now. Why don't we break in your new place completely and make some memories?"

I stop kissing him back and process his words hesitantly.

We had been together for three years and never had sex. We had talked about it and it had almost happened -twice- but in the end, either a lack of privacy or my own discomfort had stopped it from going all the way. We always just messed around and never took things further than that.

"Yeah babe?" his question brings me back into the moment.

"I- I just- let's just wait a little longer. I need some more time." I reply, once again unable to confess the truth behind the matter.

"I guess" he sighs before moving away from me abruptly. "Can you walk me out?"

"Yeah let's go."

We walk towards the front door and I wrap my arms around him.

"Hey. Don't get all grumpy on me. When the moment and timing is right I'll let you know."

"It's just that you always..nevermind.. okay. As long as you know that you are only mine."

He hugs me back before we kiss each other goodbye.
