Chapter 1: Moving In
"Here, let me get that," Connor insisted. Kira laughed and pushed him away when he grabbed her around the waist.
"Connor, stop, you're going to make me drop the box," Kira stated.
She put the box down and she laughed as he grabbed her around the waist. "Is it just me, or are you attached to my waist?" She asked. Connor placed his chin over her shoulder, acting as if her were thinking.
"You're right, Kira. I am attached to your waist," he teased.
Kira laughed and pushed him away again. "Connor McKnight, if you don't stop doing that we'll never get our stuff unpacked," she insisted. Connor fake pouted, but he went into the living to unpack some of the boxes in there. "Don't you dare plug in that television to watch the soccer game," Kira called from the kitchen.
"How did you know I would do that?" He asked.
"I have been dating you for four years, I think I know when my boyfriend wants to watch a soccer game," she replied.
Just then, his cell-phone went off. "Hello?" He answered. Kira came out of the kitchen to see her boyfriend sitting on the couch. "When are you coming? Is Eric coming with you? Oh. Well, I guess we'll be saving something for you guys for dinner. We'll see you soon, bye," he stated. He hung up his cell and Kira looked at him quizzically.
"Who was that?" She asked.
"That was mom and dad. They're on their way here," he replied.
"Here! We've just moved in."
"You know my mom."
"Yeah, I guess you're right."
They tried to get some stuff done before Connor's parents came. Just then, there was a knock on the door as Kira came downstairs after showering. "I'll get it, babe," she informed. She opened the door to see Mr. and Mrs. McKnight standing there. "Hi, it's so great to see you. Come in," she invited. They came in and Kira tried to make them comfortable before Connor came downstairs.
"Hey, mom, dad," he greeted.
"Hey, son," Mr. McKnight greeted.
Mrs. McKnight hugged her son. "Mom, I've been gone what two weeks?" He asked.
"You're still my son, Connor, I can still hug you," she replied.
"Right, right," he agreed.
Mr. McKnight smiled as he embraced Kira. "This is a very nice place you have here. What's cooking?" He asked. Kira gasped and hurried into the kitchen. "Was it something I said?" He asked.
"No, Kira almost burnt our dinner, that's all," Connor replied.
"I'll go help Kira out in the kitchen. Mark, tend to your son," Mrs. McKnight whispered.
Connor looked at his father with a quizzical look as they sat down. "What was that about?" He asked.
"You know your mom. She wants to see one of her sons get married and have kids," Mark replied.
"Dad, I don't think we're ready for marriage," Connor stated.
"You two have been dating for four years. I think you're ready for that step."
He pulled out a box and placed it on the coffee table. "This belonged to your grandmother. She wanted me to give it to you when it came time for you to get married," he informed. Connor picked up the box and opened it. Inside lied a beautiful diamond ring. "I'm not pushing you son. I'm just suggesting you think it over. Talk about the subject later after we leave. We just want you happy, son," Mark assured. Connor sighed and snapped the box shut before putting it in his pocket.
After his parents left, Kira flopped down on the couch. "I am exhausted," she groaned. Connor smiled and sat her up before sitting down. She was on her back and she had her head in his lap. She looked up at him to see him deep in thought. "You're off in a whole new world," she teased. He blinked and looked at her.
"Sorry, I was just thinking," he replied.
She sat up and looked at him. "About?" She asked. Connor sighed and decided to bring up the subject.
"Kira, what do you think about the marriage subject?" He asked.
Kira looked at him before touching his forehead. "What are you doing?" He asked.
"I'm checking for a fever," she replied.
"I'm fine, Kira. I'm being serious. What do you think about the subject of marriage?"
Kira looked at him. "Why? Do you want to get married?" She asked. Connor stalled before answering.
"Uh...maybe...in the near future," he replied.
"You're not meaning now are you?" She asked.
"No, I'm not meaning right now."
"Good, because I don't want to explain it to my mother who will go ballistic and tell everyone we know. Don't get me wrong, Connor. Getting married would bring us closer. However, we're just getting used to the idea of living together."
Connor agreed and touched her cheek. "I was just wondering," he assured. Kira smiled before he pulled her into a kiss.
