“Uh I’m so worn out I’m really not ready to go to classes today.” I plop down on the couch after rolling out of bed.
After quite a lengthy discussion and several placement moves, the living room was finally the way we both had agreed on. Our living room. We had spent all weekend with the help of almost all of Chases family, the band, and Remy and Ally moving all of our stuff over with the small rental truck and the back of Chases truck filled to the max.
I didn’t have much furniture to move in besides my computer table and an overstuffed purple chair that we managed to squeeze in between the two leather couches of Chases, so pretty much everything was Chases but he figured we could go out and buy a few things once his job started up in the fall.
Caleb had decided on a cars and trucks theme for his room which he was excited about since he’s never really had his own space and Mary was more than happy to work on that project pulling out her sewing machine to make a matching comforter and curtains with the pattern she found at the fabric store.
Chase follows me into the living room fresh from the shower while doing up the buttons on his dark blue dress shirt that he has paired with a pair of khaki pants. The girls at the high school he’s student teaching at must all be in love. How could they not, I’m about two seconds from ripping those clothes off his well built body and doing a repeat of what we did last night.
He leans down to give me a long sweet kiss before standing back up and grabbing his briefcase. He looks like such a grown up.
“Why don’t you just stay home for the day, it won’t kill you to miss two classes. I could skip out early and we can christen the rest of the house.”
“Mmhhmm that sounds perfect.” I groan as I stand up to stretch, still aching from the christening we did of the bedroom and bathroom last night.
“But I know I have tons of important stuff going on in my classes today and I can’t start slacking near the end of the semester. Plus you have like a week of student teaching left, I’m not letting you miss anytime now even if you already have a job all lined up. Besides I know Caleb plays well by himself but I don’t think he’ll stay occupied for that long.”
I walk over and give him a kiss on the corner of his mouth before shuffling him towards the door. “Now get out. I need to take a shower and get Caleb up and ready.”
“Kay, I’m going, I’m going. But you better be waiting for me when I get home. Preferably naked.” He says with a wink before I slam the door behind him even though that doesn’t sound like a bad idea at all.
*********************************************
Over the next few weeks Chase and I slowly get used to living together full time again. This time around is a little bit different since it’s now our house and I don’t feel like we’re invading his space. Caleb quickly got used to having Chase around again and is like his little shadow whenever he’s home.
Final exams week came and went and I was officially done with the spring semester. I still hadn’t decided if I would be taking summer classes yet but I figured it would probably be the best thing to do so I could finish with school. Besides it was only two classes and me and Caleb would still be able to veg out for the summer and find all sorts of fun adventures to go on.
Chase and I still hadn’t talked much about our future and I wasn’t really sure how things would be next year with me still in school and him having an actual job. We were living together now though so I guess that was one step further.
Chases student teaching ended and graduation was being held the next day. Ally was sticking around until after the ceremony to head back to her parents for a bit before taking off on a road trip with some of the girls from her sorority.
“Hey baby,” Chase huskily whispers in my ear as he comes up behind me while I’m standing at the kitchen counter drinking my much needed coffee of the morning. That’s one thing Chase figured out early while living with me. I’m just not much of a morning person and he knows not to mess with me before I have at least one cup in me.
“Hi, did you sleep good?” I ask as I twist around and wrap my arms around his neck.
“Mmhmm,” he mumbles against my neck as he plants hot wet kisses all the way down to my collarbone. “Did you want me to make you something for breakfast?” I manage to squeak out even though my mind is on anything but food right now as he continues to work his lips over my scantily clad body that’s only covered by a thin black cami and matching lacy black boy shorts.
“Maybe later. Caleb’s still out right?” He breaks his lips from my body and I instantly miss the warmth that he had spread throughout my body. I nod my head at him giving him the green light that I know he’s waiting for and he grasps my hips with his hands lifting me up to sit on the island in the middle of the kitchen.
