Life's Good

Chapter 1: The Move

"I'm really gonna miss you Imani, what am I to do with all that empty space"? Nikita's voice was a mumble. You can hardly see Nikita, only her forehead and hazel eyes peeked from above the brown box marked delicates.

"Niki I really do hope you and Logan move out of campus soon. You know, like somewhere closer to me". I gave out a grin and opened the passenger door to my white Kia Sol.

"Girl you know, how much I want to get out of here, me and Logan have been apartment hunting for months"! She placed the box below the passenger seat and wiped her forehead.

"I know, I know. I'm going to miss your bubbly personality around me all the time. All our fun movie nights, and hangouts". I almost started to tear, me and Niki had been through thick and thin, we were the terrific two. Living without Niki would be so different.

Niki came in for a hug, but was interrupted by a loud honking. It was Logan, Niki's boyfriend. You can see him smiling even through the tinted windows of his Porsche. He got out of the car and cheerfully walked up to Niki and I. "Sup Imani". He gave a little wave. Logan was an attractive guy. 6'2", blonde hair that always had a perfect slope. Niki was always into guys who played sports, Logan just happened to be a football player. They were a cute couple. Niki was 5'3" and a walking sunshine. Everyone on campus loved Niki and Logan, they were a power couple.

After awhile we were headed to Palm Springs town homes. Also known as my new living place. We found Kai's car on the stone driveway. Boxes of all sizes laid around the bright green perfectly cut grass.

Kai greeted me with a kiss to the lips, and wrapped his arms around me. "Missed ya babe". He said into my ear, making me grin. "Ay college boy, how bout helping me with the heavy items". Kai was talking to Logan, who'd been given the nickname college boy since our freshmen year.

It was evening now and we were all enjoying cold glasses of Jones soft drinks while sitting around our black wooden table. There were still boxes laying around the shiny wood floor. Kai looked at his MK watch I got him for Valentines day. "We managed to get the boxes in the house in only... 3 hours"! We chuckled. "It was nice helping you guys move into here, can't wait for you guys to help us when we finally move". Niki looked up at Logan giving him an evil look. "Niki just one more semester, then we can move to oh mighty Palm Springs". Logan mocked.

After chatting for a bit Kai and I led them out. The entrance was long and wide with cashmere walls, and a high ceiling. We said our goodbyes and goodnights as I shut the gigantic door. I never realized how elegant the door was. Maroon paint with a fancy designed glass window. The rest of the night was summed up to one word, unpacking.

When all the mess was out of the way we finally plopped our tired bodies onto our leather couch. I rested my head onto Kai's chest as we watched Bones. I always admired Temperance for her wisdom and lack of care. I looked around the spacious room. It was then I realized that it was ours, a place we can call home.
