I tried to create a little change here. Hope you enjoy :)

Paige

I got up early this morning went shopping and started to clean the entire place. Statisfied that the issue was settled I started to make space everywhere, it's only for a couple of days but she has to feel good around here and welcome. I started cooking and lost track of time, the door bell rang and I never ran faster to my door. I took a moment to straighten my clothes and opened the door. I closed the distance between us, grasping her hands our fingers entwining for a second. "Hey. Come in." I smiled and lead her in, not letting her fingers go. I closed the door and accepted her suitcase. I mistook the heavyness. "I just packed all I would need in our new place. Hope you don't mind." I didn't."You want a tour of this little place?" I put her stuff in the bedroom while I showed her around. We ended in the open space of the kitchen where I got us some snacks and drinks and sat next to her on the couch. "I hope I didn't come on too strong here. I just want what is best for us and you know what they say there's only one direction that's up." She looked up, her smile matching mine. "That's what I thought too." "Emily, I just want to ask you to let me know when you don't feel right here. I'm open to change what I can and also I can use some tips for our new place." She touched my shoulder and asked with a serious face what my disgusting habits are. I couldn't name one, so she started guessing. It got pretty hilarious I have to admit. We were both trying to see this as just a sleepover between friends to put of some pressure but it wasn't clearly not working. I was planning to ask if I should sleep on the couch tonight, I also know once we go down that road it will be harder to get back on track.

I've only slept a few hours, 5AM. Emily was sleeping peaceful. I dressed warmly, put on some running shoes to go for my early morning run. I tried to outrun thoughts that kept me awake. The so far alone time with Emily was good, the decision of how to move forward together was giving me trouble. I circled round the park and started running back home. Could she be the one? The woman who's sleeping in my bed right now. The fact Emily did came out as the one on paper had hit me hard. I will do anything in my reach to be with this woman. Even if it means in the long run less swimming out of state. I arrived back in record time, I went to the coffee machine and got in the shower. When I was the done the coffee was ready. I cooked breakfast, not much as Emily didn't eat much in the mornings. What I know about her ran through my mind. What I don't know about her will hopefully bring us closer as I shall say roommates. The bedroom was still dark meant she was still sleeping. I'm glad she sleeps well in a strange bed. All I can think of is how grateful I am for this new start, now I need to find out how to be the best wife for Emily. I know I can't do this on my own, I have to have a word with my dad. I got married and he gained a family member, that's not a bad deal isn't it?

We talked about 30 minutes after we finished breakfast, now we're on our way to the first place to check out. We arrived their in no time, it was close by Paiges place. We got greeted by this old man that showed us around. One step in the lobby and the strong smell hit me. This building blew it than and there for me. I know I was grouchy about everything now, nothing seemed good enough for the amount of rent we had to pay for this. I still was being myself. Paige was so quiet, I don't think she wanted to be with me here right now. I can't ignore my gut feeling that I don't want to live here. We left the building and drove to this restaurant. I had a terrible feeling through-out dinner, I was nervous and didn't eat much. I just picked my food, maybe she was upset. I wasn't sure, she ate her meal and asked if I wanted dessert. I didn't want to eat anymore, only wanted to talk to her and get to know her better. But we left the restaurant, after she asked if we could leave right after I was finished. We had such a nice conversation this morning, I thought she wanted to go home and leave me on my own to go to Aria's building. Surprisingly she wanted to kill time in the mall we just walked around. Her eyes were shiny, I could see it although she was looking at the ground or at the window shops.

After an hour I followed her lead to the car and drove to our next appointment. I kind help but feel we wasted precious time, we weren't going backwards yet just standing still. The apartment next to Aria's was way smaller, it had two rooms a tiny bathroom, livingroom and kitchen in one but I liked it. It was closer to Rosewood not in the middle of the city like the previous apartment. This one was further from all what Paige knew, she said it would be harder to see her friends after work and being home in time or that she would be starting to use her car more and less her bike. The rent was less here which was appealing because she would be paying rent for two apartments for a little while. Aria came by , Paige seemed to have an easy-going conversation with my friend. "We should take it."

Emily

Things got faster than expected, nothing bad so far. We got into bed and started talking I wondered if she was really okay with moving to the suburbs. I admitted that I wasn't ready to move to the city, I needed my mother close and my friends. I know it's for her the same I realise that, I'm not taking her for granted. I feel I need more warming up than her.

The week was really busy, we moved in our new place together. I went for a little extra push and took her home to my mother. I was lucky to have a mom who supported me through every surprise I threw her way, she treated Paige like family not as a friend of mine like I do sometime but as real family. I can't really understand why Paige is having so much trouble to speak to her dad. During dinner they were still communicating, it felt good to witness the interaction between the two of them.

Dinner with Pam was nerve wracking straight away solved with a warm welcoming hug and a really big smile. It was nice meeting her for real, I felt at ease with her we had this connection right away. We started talking about swimming that's beside her daughter something we have in common. She was wonderful. I got a tour round the house, it was smaller than my dad's house, I guess that's part of the reason I felt good here from the first minute. It's welcoming, homey and warm. When Emily's room was the only room I hadn't seen yet Pam excused herself to let us have our moment there. The pictures, her swimming meet medals from high school and the window seat got my attention. We took a seat and from here we got the perfect view on every corner of her room and her street. She told me her memories of every thing I saw in her room. It was a lovely moment, I grabbed her hand and leaded her back to the living room. Everything was spotless in the house, that's where Emily her cleaning habit comes from. After her delicious cooking, it was the time to taste the dessert I brought with me. It's so easy to open up, it was so scary. Scared to be judged, scared to disrepect Emily in a certain way, scared to do something causing Emily making her mind up already. Also scary to feel good here, it can go away pretty soon. When it was time to leave I left with a good feeling, a hug from Pam and a kiss from Emily means I did something right again.
