As I was thinking about it, Tyler came up behind me and hugged me from behind.
I leaned my head on his shoulder, basking in his warmth.
I remember the first time I decided to move in with my boyfriend, Tyler.
My family was against it, but I was determined to do it.
“Hey,” I said, “What are you doing?”
I had been dating Tyler for a year and a half, and I felt like we were ready to take the next step in our relationship.
“I’m just thinking,” I said.
I knew my family would be against it, but I had to do what was best for me.
“About what?”
“About us,” I said, “About me moving in with you.”
I packed my bags and went to Tyler’s place.
He turned me around so I was facing him, and then he kissed me on the lips.
He was so happy when he saw me at his doorstep.
He hugged me tightly and kissed me on the lips.
“Are you having second thoughts?”
he asked, “Because if you are, it’s not too late to back out.”
“Are you sure about this?”
he asked as he helped me with my bags.
“No, I’m not having second thoughts,” I said, “I’m just… nervous.”
“I’m sure,” I said with a smile on my face.
“It’s going to be fine,” he said, “We’re going to be fine.
This is just a change of address, remember?
We went inside his apartment, and I felt like I was home.
It was a small place, but it was cozy and comfortable.
We’re not doing anything different than what we were already doing.”
We spent the whole day unpacking my stuff and decorating the place together.
“I know,” I said, “It’s just that this is a big step for me.
I’ve never lived away from my family before, and I don’t know how I’m going to handle it.”
When we were done, we sat on the couch and watched a movie together.
I felt so happy and contented.
“You’re going to do great,” he said, “And if you ever need anything, I’ll be right here for you.”
When I told my mom that I was moving in with Tyler, she was furious.
I smiled at him.
“I love you,” I said.
She said that I was too young and that I was making a big mistake.
She told me that she didn’t raise me to be someone who would disregard our family values.
“I love you too,” he said, “Now let’s finish unpacking our stuff.
There won’t be room for anything else once we bring the couch in.”
She told me that she wouldn’t support my decision, and that if I moved in with Tyler, I would be on my own.
We spent the next few hours unpacking our stuff and bringing our furniture into the apartment.
But I didn’t let her words get to me.
I knew that moving in with Tyler was the right thing to do, and no one could change my mind.
When we were done, it was already late at night, but I was too excited to go to sleep yet.
I wanted to explore our new place some more.
I packed my bags and left my house without looking back.
As we walked around the apartment, Tyler took my hand in his, and we started dancing in the middle of the living room.
I knew that my mom was just being protective, but I was an adult now, and I had to make my own decisions.
I had always been close with my family, but I couldn’t let their opinions control my life forever.
I rested my head on his shoulder as we swayed back and forth, moving to a melody that only we could hear.
I had to do what made me happy, and moving in with Tyler was what made me happy.
“This is my favorite part about this apartment,” Tyler said as he spun me around.
“What is?”
Tyler was so happy when he saw me at his doorstep.
He hugged me tightly and kissed me on the lips.
“Us being together like this,” he said as he pulled me closer to him.
I smiled at him as I wrapped my arms around his neck.
“Are you sure about this?”
“You’re so cheesy,” I said.
he asked as he helped me with my bags.
He leaned down and kissed me on the lips.
“I’m sure,” I said with a smile on my face, “This is where I belong.”
“I’m just being honest,” he said, “And you love it.”
We spent the whole day unpacking my stuff and decorating the place together.
When we were done, we sat on the couch and watched a movie together.
I laughed as I rested my head on his chest.
I loved these moments when it was just the two of us, when we could be ourselves without worrying about anyone else.
I felt so happy and contented.
I knew that this was where I belonged.
It was like time stopped, and we could just focus on each other.
I had been living at Tyler’s place for a few months now, and everything was going great.
“I did it,” I said, “For you.”
We were both so busy with work that we barely saw each other, but it didn’t matter because we were living together now.
“What did you do?”
Every time I saw him at night, I felt so happy and contented.
“I moved in with you,” I said.
We still had a few weeks left before our lease ended at our old apartment, but he couldn’t wait to move into his new place, and I couldn’t blame him.
He wrapped his arms around me tighter and kissed me on the top of my head.
It was a huge step for us, and I was excited for it too.
“I know,” he said, “And I appreciate it more than you’ll ever know.
It would be nice to live in a bigger place where we could spend more time together.
I know it wasn’t easy for you, but you did it anyway because you knew that it was the right thing to do.
The first time he told me that he loved me, he said it in front of all of our friends at his place.
And I promise you that we’re going to make it work.
No matter what happens, we’re going to make it work.”
He cooked dinner for all of us, and when he finished eating, he stood up and gave a short speech about how much he loved me before dropping down on one knee and proposing to me in front of everyone.
I looked up at him.
I was so shocked that it took me a few seconds to process what happened.
The way that he was looking at me made my heart flutter, and I couldn’t help but lean up and kiss him on the lips.
But when it finally sank in, I said yes without any hesitation at all.
I knew that moving in with Tyler would make my life easier in many ways, but it would also make it harder in some ways.
I knew that it wouldn’t be easy, but I felt like we could overcome anything as long as we had each other.
Since I wasn’t living with my family anymore, I would have to pay for everything myself.
I still went home every weekend to visit them, but it wasn’t like before when we saw each other every day.
The first night in our new apartment was perfect.
I woke up in Tyler’s arms, feeling more at home than I had in a long time.
The sun was shining through the window, but I didn’t want to leave the bed yet.
I wanted to stay there with Tyler forever.
But eventually, I knew that we would have to get up and start our day.
“Good morning,” Tyler said as he leaned down and kissed me on the lips.
“Good morning,” I replied, “Last night was amazing.”
“Yeah, it was,” Tyler said as he kissed me again.
“Let’s make some breakfast,” I said as I got out of bed.
“Sure thing,” Tyler replied with a smile as he got out of bed too.
We quickly got dressed before heading into the kitchen.
When I opened the cupboard, I realized that we had way too many pots and pans.
“We don’t need all these pots,” I said as I pulled them out of the cupboard.
“I think my mom got them for us,” Tyler replied with a laugh.
“She tends to go a little overboard when she goes shopping at Costco.”
I laughed as I put the pots and pans on the counter before Tyler opened the drawer and took out some plastic containers and lids.
“Here are some containers for us to put stuff in,” he said as he handed them to me.
“Thanks,” I replied as I put them on the counter too.
I started putting all the pots and pans in one cupboard while Tyler put all the containers and lids in another one before joining me on the couch.
“Nice job in the kitchen,” Tyler said as he leaned over and kissed me on the lips.
“Thanks,” I replied, “I just wanted everything in its place so that I can find it later.”
Tyler smiled at me as he wrapped his arm around me and pulled me closer to him.
“I know you’re going to miss your mom’s cooking, but I promise you that I’ll take good care of you,” he said before leaning down and kissing me again.
“You better,” I said as I wrapped my arms around his neck, “I’d be lost without you.”
“Don’t worry,” Tyler replied as he leaned down and kissed me again, “You’re stuck with me forever.”
That night, Tyler cooked dinner for us and it was amazing.
I had always known that he was a good cook, but it had been a while since I’d had him cook for me instead of my mom, and it was exactly what I needed after such a long day of moving in.
We ate dinner on the couch while watching a movie before Tyler leaned over and wrapped his arm around me, pulling me closer to him so that I could rest my head on his shoulder.
“I love you so much,” he said as he leaned down and kissed me on the top of my head.
“I love you too,” I replied as I snuggled into him even more.
He grabbed the remote and turned off the television so that we were left alone in the dark apartment with nothing but the sound of our breathing filling the room.
