JPOV
Today's our one year anniversary.
I'm nervous.
We've come so far together, and now I want us to take the next step.
We walk into my apartment, and everything is set up and ready.
A candlelit dinner.
Your favorite band playing in the background.
After we finish eating, I ask you to join me in the living room.
My palms are sweaty, and I'm afraid of the rejection, but I take a breath to steady myself.
I grab the small box off the mantle and give it to you.
You open it up, finding the keychain and key to my apartment inside.
Looking up at me, you seem a little unsure of the gift, probably since you've had a key to my place for years.
"Move in with me?" I ask.
Your lips press to mine as you pull me into an embrace.
"I take it that's a yes?"
You nod your head.
"Of course it's a yes, now how about we go spend some time in our bed?"
