"Last. Fucking. Box." Luke grunted as he placed a box in the dining room. We all gasped at his language; considering he doesn't curse that much.
"Oh what? Good mama's boy can't cuss?!" he exclaimed in a frustrated tone, running his hands through his hair. Calum walked over and patted his back, leading him up the stairs.
Michael and I laughed as we went up to our room. The house was nice. Karen kept it clean pretty well for a 55 year old house. It's tan walls and crème carpets complemented the beige furniture. A glass coffee table sat in front of it with pictures of a little boy version of Michael.
"We'll be back in a bit! Getting some more stuff from Adi's house!" Mike screamed as we left for our last trip.
We hopped in his, or Karen's old, 1998 silver Vulks Wagon. He cranked the engine as my custom CD slid in the player. Be My Baby by Ariana Grande came on.
He hummed the tune and eventually started performing in his seat.
It's been about 7 months since Karen died. Yes, we just now moved in but, it took a while. We had to get permission from Calum's parents and Luke's parents and, surprisingly mine. Michael was turning 18 in a few weeks and he had stopped playing his video games for a while. Reason being, his mom had gotten him the system a few weeks before his birthday 3 years ago. He still misses her. A lot. And frankly I do too.
We walked into my old room, grabbed my remaining clothes, and we're finally done. We drove back with the Arctic Monkeys song 'D is for Dangerous' as background music.
"Adi?"
"Yes?"
"Do you think we'll get married?"
"Ha, why do you ask that?"
"I don't know. It just feels like we were supposed to end up together. Like we were supposed to go into Luke's closet. I- it's just- we worked so well and still do and it seems out of question to assume we wouldn't."
For some reason, I knew he was right. I remembered my thoughts from that night.
"Something about this felt fitting. I knew we could only do this once and that I'd feel guilty about cheating on Calum but, I guess, yolo??"
"I don't know Michael. It's too early to tell. But I honestly hope we do." I pecked his cheek as we pulled into our driveway.
"OH!!! HA-HARDER!" we heard from upstairs.
"It's Luke." Mike and I said in unison and looked at each other, laughing.
We went upstairs and stopped by their bedroom door. Still moans could be heard. Michael couldn't resist and opened the door.
"SHUT THE FUCK UP." he screamed. They looked at us like innocent puppies after a seizure. We couldn't help but burst out in laughter.
"No but really, if that's all we're gonna hear then we may have to kick you out." he smiled, closing the door. We walked to our room that was finally all unpacked and set up. I sat on the kind sized bed. I immediately heard the doorbell ring. I groaned, getting up.
I walked down the stairs and opened the door to see Liz.
"Oh Adi! How're you darling? I haven't seen you in ages I've missed you!" she smiled widely hugging me. I hugged back and answered with, "I'm great thanks! And I've missed you more."
We released each other as she set a bouquet of red roses and about 10 movies on the dining table.
"Geez woman! All these?" I smiled looking through the discs. Turns out, they weren't movies. They were video games. My smile immediately faded; considering Michael wasn't playing at the moment because of, well yeah.
"Yeah! I knew Michael played and they're old ones I bought for Luke that he never opened so I thought he'd like 'em!" she smiled sweetly. I threw on my fakest, most believable grin and called the boys down.
"Mommy!" Luke ran into Liz's arms with an ear-to-ear smile plastered on his face. She embraced him greatly, kissing his cheek.
"Calum! Michael! How're you?" she closed them in a hug as well.
"We're pretty good." Michael chuckled, walking over to me and wrapping his skinny arm around my waist. Calum walked to Luke and kissed his cheek. Luke greatly accepted and returned one to his.
"Oh! Are you to together?" Liz leaned in toward the boys. "Yes, mum we're together." Luke grinned while Calum blushed.
"Oh my goodness! You guys are so cute!" she pretended to wipe tears. "And you two!" she turned to me and Michael. "Ah, I always knew you two would end up together." she laughed.
Mike looked at me and I turned to him. He looked into my eyes deeply. As if saying "I told ya so." I bit my lip and turned back to Liz.
"Well I best be headin' off! Oh and Michael! Here's a little somethin' I found laying around." she winked at him. "See ya boys! And Adi." she gave Luke one last hug and was off. You gotta love that woman.
