"So when are the new roommates getting here?" Blake asked standing up straight and stretching.

"Qrow said this evening sometime." Zander said looking back into the house.

"I guess I should probably go clean up the rooms a bit."

"Nah you relax I'll take care of it." Blake said. "Call it payment for cooking breakfast. Blake needed something to do anyway and the time alone would help her think on how to approach Zander about a question she has been thinking about since last night.

" in that case I'll work on getting the beds out of the garage." Zander said walking around the house.

Blake walked in the house entering the living room. She loved how it was set up. As you walk in the door you had the living room. If you continued straight you walked through a doorway into the dining room that also had a door leading to the back. On the right side of the house you had the kitchen that was fairly large she thought. If you took a left from the living room you had a hallway that held the two guest bedrooms on the right with Windows facing the back yard. And the guest bathroom in between them. On the left was a large closet and at the end of the hall on the left was the master bedroom with its own bath room.

"It's a cosy place." Blake thought as she entered the first room to see only a mirror and dresser.

"Doesn't look like I'll be cleaning much." Blake said as she started to wipe down the dresser and mirror with some cleans towels she found in the hallway closet. She was done with that and moved over to the window. She pulled back curtains and started wiping the windows down. Looking out she could see Zander in the garage. First he pulled out pieces of bed frames.

"Maybe I should go help." Blake thought, but was quickly taken back to see him carrying the mattress and box spring together out of the garage. Blake stared in awe for a moment. The sunlight was illuminating his back, she saw toned muscles as the seemed to work effortlessly against the weight of what he was handling. She completely overlooked the large tattoo that covered his back untill he turned for a moment to take a breath. It was then that Blake was breathless she could tell if the meaning was her being his friend or more. The tattoo was a large lion just below his neck, it had his name formed into the mane of the lion and under neath it was a lioness. Blake was wondering if her mind was playing tricks or not but it seemed her name was formed into the fur on the lioness.

Blake was speechless as she slid down the wall and held her chest. Whether he was in love with her or not. That tattoo meant he cared enough about her to remember her. Blake never had a family and when she met Zander she wasn't exactly into the best crowd. She stole to survive and would steal money for lunch at school. All that changed when she met Zander, she didn't have money for lunch that day and she sat down beside him crying and begging for food. She hated it but she didn't have a choice living in a shelter meant she had to find her own ways to survive. Zander slid his lunch tray in front of her and told her to eat. From that day on they were friends.

Zander got alot of ridicule and fought off many bullies that wouldn't leave Blake alone. It was two weeks after that day that Zander had convinced his dad to take Blake in and his father didn't hesitate, it took a while to get custody and what not but nonetheless Blake was very grateful. She only lived with Zander and his dad for a couple of years after that she had got a job and moved away. That was the last time he saw her. He only had a couple phone calls from her but that was it.

"After all this time he still thought about me?" Blake buried her face in her knees and started to cry.

"You ok?" Zander asked standing in the doorway with a concerned look.

"All this time and you still remembered me. I never had anyone care that much." Blake said in between sobs and trying to hold back tears.

"Of course I would remember you, how could I forget? You where pretty from the day I met you and you always where happy around me." Zander said kneeling down and cradling her in his arms.

"I love you Blake I always have just wished I could have told you before you left. I always regretted not telling you."

Blake squeezed Zander tight and sniffled. "Thank you, thank you soo much." Blake said softly before slowly standing and wiping tears from her face before smiling. She pulled Zander in for a long kiss wich was happily returned.

"You think we should probably finish these rooms?" Blake asked before tucking her hair behind her ear.

"Yeah would probably best." Zander said before giving his new Sweetheart and quick peck on the lips.

"Come on lets get this done so we can cuddle before they get here." Zander said picking up a head board.

" Cuddling sounds good." Blake said grabbing the sides to the bed frame.
