Forever Yours

Twelve

"I cant believe we're already leaving." I sigh, as I zip up my suitcase.

Juan chuckles from his side of the bed. "I know. I wish we could stay longer, bonita."

I nod. "I know. I've literally had the best time ever on this trip." I frown. This trip has been...out of this world. I cant even begin to express what an amazing time I've had while in Paris. In all reality, it's Juan who made this trip the best of my life. He makes everything better.

He stands, coming over to give me a hug. "Me too. I've loved being here alone with you. I promise we'll come back as soon as we can." he whispers, kissing the top of my head.

I nod, wrapping my arms around his waist. "Deal." most of our time here in Paris has been spent either going out to do touristy things or just staying in our hotel room, laying in bed all day. Every part of it has been amazing.

"I'm gonna pass out." I say nervously as Juan and I get closer and closer to our house. We just landed in LA a few hours ago and went to my apartment to get a bit of sleep before driving over to see how our house looks fully decorated. I was keeping my apartment for a few more months, because I'm not fully ready to let it go just yet. It was my first apartment here in LA, and I absolutely love everything about it, letting it go is going to be very hard for me. As for Juan, he's keeping his home in Colombia. Him selling it was never even a discussion we had. That's his home in Colombia, and we would never stop going to Colombia, so the house is staying Juan's.

Juan chuckles. "Because you're nervous or excited?" he asks, turning to look at me with a smile.

"I don't even know." I say looking down at my lap.

He taps my shoulder a few minutes later, pointing in front of us. We're driving up to the house slowly. "Welcome home." he smiles, parking in our driveway. This is a six bedroom home, inside of an extremely gated community in Hidden Hills. Six bedrooms may seem excessive, but Juan planned on having his family over a lot now that we're going to be living in California almost full time, so the extra rooms would definitely be used often. We also took into consideration that somewhere down the line, at least one or two of these rooms would be turned into nursery's. Juan and I wanted this to be our forever home, so we definitely took into consideration what this house would need in order to be perfect for our future. Enough rooms for children in the future was big for both Juan and I.

I let out a shaky breath, looking at the beautiful house in front of me. While Juan unbuckles himself, I just stare at the house in complete awe. "Can we just...sit for a minute?" I ask, grabbing Juan's hand from his lap.

"Of course." he presses his lips gently against the top of my hand. We sit in silence for a few moments before he squeezes my hand. "What's on your mind?"

I take a deep breath in, shrugging. "This is just...such a big step. Our very own home. Ours. Do you understand how crazy that is?!" I ask, shaking my head.

"Yeah." I see him nod from the corner of my eye. "It is. This is where our life together really begins." he stretches over, giving my temple a kiss. "So lets go start it." he whispers.

I let out a small laugh. "Yeah. Let's go." I nod, unbuckling myself quickly. "I'm so excited." I smile, opening the car door.

We both step out of the car and look up at the house excitedly. "It's beautiful." Juan says with a smile. "It feels as if it's the first time we're seeing it again." he chuckles.
