Chapter 3 – Will
Will helped Ronnie into the back seat of the car and took her hand in his. He wondered why she hadn't asked where that house was from or how he'd got it. He couldn't wait to tell her the news. He'd bought the house! He knew that the outside was trashy, but there was something about the house that he loved. He was so appreciative that Megan had given him a place to live but he knew that she needed time alone with her new husband, so he figured that he could buy a house. He'd looked for a few weeks but nothing had stood out. Some houses were two big and fancy, others were way to bland. One day, when he was out for a walk, he happened to stumble upon this house with a for sale sign. He immediately loved it, called the owner and bought it. He'd signed the papers the next day, there weren't that many to sign, but he had to meet the owner at the house anyway. After signing, he thought that his new house was perfect for a special date. He'd assumed that Ronnie would ask him questions about it, but she seemed so amazed, it must not have come to mind. Many times, he'd thought about asking her to move in with him, but he knew that she'd say no. For one, they were pretty young, and two: Ronnie had just healed her relationship with her mother and this would certainly put a bump in the road. He wanted her to live with him, to keep him company, to love him, but he knew that he would have to wait. Will's thoughts were interrupted when Ronnie finally asked the question that'd he been waiting for all night.
- Will, how did you get that house?
- Finally, I thought you'd never ask! Well, as grateful as I am for Megan letting me live with her, I figured it was time to move on so..
- You bought a house?
Ronnie looked a little curious. Will wondered if she wanted to move in. How would she react? Would she be mad or happy? Or even uncomfortable? Will didn't want to do anything to destroy their relationship. She was the one he wanted to marry someday, and that was that.
- Yup, I know it seems crazy, but Megan needs some alone time too. She doesn't need her brother hanging around all the time.
- Wow, that's really cool. So why are we going to Megan's now then?
-Because, I haven't been shopping. I don't have a t.v, or a couch, or even a bed yet. I'm staying at Megan's for another few weeks while I get everything I'm going to need.
-Need any help?
-I would love that. I'll need someone to help, I have horrible taste!
Ronnie laughed. Will loved her laugh. Ronnie rested her head on his shoulder for the rest of the way. They talked about potential paint colours and what he was going to need. They talked about possible moving dates and how they were going to move everything. The one subject they never talked about was Ronnie moving in. Will wanted to ask her so badly but something told him he shouldn't. He decided that if she brought it up, then he would ask, but as for now, he would not mention a thing. They talked and laughed and laughed and talked the entire way there.
