Maggie sat down on the couch in what now was also her apartment and admired the mix of her and Alex's stuff. They had decided to move into Alex's apartment since Maggie basically already lived there. The apartment hadn't changed much apart from the addition of quite a few photos, small pieces of furniture and bonsai trees. In Maggie's defence; they are her favourite. A smile formed on Maggie's face.
"What are you smiling about?" Alex asked as she sat down beside the small brunette with two beers, handing one to Maggie.
"This. Us. Everything." Things have been much better with Alex lately; the trauma was no longer consuming her but it still bothered her. She would flinch at the sound of water hitting the metal sink. She refused to take baths, it now was only showers even though she loved a good bath. It was still going to take a long time for her to get over these things that seem so small to us but massive to her. Maggie moving in helped a lot. It took her mind off it for the time being. It was a great thing for her.
"You know, I'm beginning to like bonsai trees." Alex said as she looked around the apartment. Maggie laughed lightly. "I'm really, really happy." Maggie thought back to when the two first started dating and when Alex said she was getting used to the whole being happy thing. They had come quiet far from that in a good way. Alex was finally able to be happy without feeling guilty.
"Good because so am I." Alex smiled at the statement. She never before thought that in her life she would be this happy with somebody. That she would tell someone she loves them. That she would move in with them. It was everything she always dreamed off but thought would never come true. None of her relationships before worked out. She slowly began losing hope until she met the brunette who stole her heart from the very moment that they met. And now here she is, sitting beside that woman who she deeply loves and now lives with.
Maggie on the other hand had many times where she told someone she loved them and even once moved in with but never before had that love been this strong. They had a connection from the very start. From the very first touch. From the very first time they flirted. From the first time they held hands. But most importantly from their first kiss. Maggie may have pushed Alex away but she couldn't deny what she felt when Alex pulled her close and kissed her. It was something that she had never felt before. She knew she liked Alex but she didn't think it was that strong. When Alex pushed her away she felt empty. She needed to see her. She need to see her smile. She needed to hear her laugh because of a funny joke she made. She just needed Alex. And well now, she has her and she is never letting go.
