Changing For Us (Book 3/3)

Zoe's P.O.V

I stood holding Cassie's hand as we looked at our new home. Kellina was beside me with her arm draped over my shoulders, Ivory standing beside her with his hands in his pockets. Ashley and Lilliana were standing next to us, hand in hand.

"This is it," I breathed, looking over the red bricks that layered the outside of the house. I couldn't believe how perfect the design on the outside was compared to the drawings I had created. They managed to add a modern yet old feel to they house. Kellina and I were both brick lovers but we wanted a more modern look and I couldn't be happier with the design. The deep red bricks and light grey stone brought out the greenness of the grass and made it look amazing.

"Wait till you see inside," Kellina smiled next to me. She grabbed the house keys from her pocket and made her way towards the door. We all followed foot and stepped into the two story house. I was blown away by the interior. Everything was carved and placed in the exact position I had imagined it and I couldn't be happier.

"Don't cry my love," Kellina cooed, running her thumbs over my cheeks. I stood on my tiptoes and brought our lips together.

"Did you build this?" Cassie asked me, tugging on my arm.

"We designed it for all of us to share,"

"Where are the bedrooms?" Ivory asked.

"Upstairs, and don't worry, you'll like it," Kellina assured him. Ivory and Cassie bolted up the stairs. Kellina wrapped an arm around my waist, placing another kiss on my lips.

"This house is so beautiful," Ashley gushed, looking around the open living room.

"It's honestly amazing," Lilliana added.

"I guess my wife has an eye for design," Kellina smirked.

"That I do. Not only in houses, but in deciding who my wife was," I replied, feeling Kellina slap my ass. I made my way into the connecting kitchen. I was so overwhelmed with how surreal this was. Nine months ago we were just submitting the house plans and now the house is ready and finally hours. We chose a location that was close to the schools but far enough to have some privacy. Quintin had asked me if I wanted to move to Europe in the next few months for the business and I had to decline. As much as I loved travelling Europe with Kellina, my home was here with her and our new family with Ivory and Cassie. We were officially their parents.

"Home sweet home," Kellina whispered in my ear as she hugged me from behind. The house still smelt like paint but it was a comforting smell.

"Look! I have more dolls now!" Cassie beamed, racing down the stairs into the kitchen.

"That's right but you need to make sure you clean up after playing okay?" I smiled. She nodded, running into the living room and sitting near the dollhouse that was there.

"You got me a signed basketball jersey?" Ivory asked walking into the room.

"Kellina and I know you love Steph Curry so we pulled some ties and we managed to organise something," I smiled, watching a smile form on his face. Quintin has actually helped design the house Steph was currently living in and I had to ask a huge favour. I still owe him for it.

"Is there somewhere I can play basketball?"

"Only if you can beat me in a one on one," Kellina smirked, moving away from me. Ivory passed her the ball. She caught it, squeezing it between her hands.

"Don't be out too long we're having lunch soon," I told them both. Kellina winked at me before they both headed out the sliding door to the back yard. Ivory was really warming up to Kellina and I and it was nice. I knew it was going to be hard for him because he was in the system for so long, but I'm glad that he's willing to change now that he knows we're going to love him and Cassie and not let anything get in between us.
