"Okay, do we have everything?" Owen said as we carried a few boxes into our new house.

"No, I still have something outside. Give me a second, I'll bring it in." I said and set the box down before walking toward the front door. Owen gently grabbed my arm to stop me and walked out to the moving van to get what I had left.

Today has been the first day since we got married that we haven't fought yet. The keyword is yet, though, because we seem to always have something to disagree about. I'm hoping we can at least make it until bed time before we argue again. I don't think I have the energy to yell at his dumb ass today.

"Okay, where do you want it?" Owen asked as he brought the last box in. I held my arms out to take it from him and he just took a couple steps back to keep me from grabbing it. I took a couple steps closer and reached for the box again, but he once again took a couple steps back.

"Come on, just give me my stuff!" I said and he laughed a bit before running towards the back of the house. That dipshit. He wants me to chase him, doesn't he? "That has breakables in it, you asshole. If you break it, I swear I'll break your playstation!!" I yelled.

Before I could even think about chasing after Owen (which I wasn't going to do, because I was tired from the move), my phone started ringing. It was Madison trying to FaceTime me. I sat at the kitchen table and answered.

"Heyyy. How's moving day going?" Madison asked cheerily, then gasped when she saw the background. "Are you guys on a beach? What happened to New York?"

"Yeah, uh, I decided I didn't want to freeze to death or even be in New York at all and Owen suggested Florida. So here we are. We live by Clearwater Beach." I said and she smiled a bit. Obviously I was over-exaggerating with the whole 'freeze to death' thing, but anyone who knows me knows I'm overdramatic. They usually just deal with it.

"So, you two came to a decision all on your own?" Madi asked.

"We did." I responded.

"And you didn't argue?"

"We didn't argue. For once." I said and she yelled for Booboo. Clearly she was hanging out with some of the other cast members, because Booboo was there and I thought I heard Jeremy's voice in the background too.

"Booboo, they made a decision all on their own and didn't argue." Madi said as Booboo sat down beside her.

"Yeah, we got a beach house. I'd show you around but I have to go find Owen and tell him to stop being an asshole." I said and was about to hang up before Booboo told me not to.

"No arguments today, right?" He asked.

"Yeah and then he started being an asshole so I have a feeling we're about to argue." I responded. I stood up to walk towards the back of the house as we spoke.

"Don't hang up just yet. You might need some supervision." Booboo said and I rolled my eyes a little.

I had been walking at a faster speed out of anger, but once I got closer to the bedroom, I could see that Owen actually had set up the room pretty nicely. How did he do that if he only had my box? Or did he trick me and actually have a different box. Either way, I was impressed.

"I think I'm gonna have to hang up after all, cause I think we don't need supervision with this." I mumbled and hung up the phone as I got to the bedroom. I leaned on the doorway and looked directly at Owen. "What's with the candles?" He shrugged a little and I took another quick look around the room. "And.. the flower petals on the bed? Owen Patrick Gillespie-Joyner, are you trying to seduce me?"
