Unexpected

Chapter 11

Sophie's party was crazy. So much family came over and she was SPOILED! They also all met Blaine which I liked. Felt like we were getting really serious. More than before at least. And he basically lives at my house because he's always here and staying the night.

"Want me to take Sophie for the night? Carole and I would love to hang out with her and it'll give you time to clean up and relax."

"Of course! I could use the night."

"Awesome!" He has so much Sophie stuff at his house because he'll take her overnight sometimes so I usually only have to give him Sophie and that's it.

Dad helped us clean up a bit before heading out with Sophie. Blaine and I finished the last bit of cleaning left and then plopped onto the couch.

"I am EXHAUSTED!"

"Really?"

"Mhm. Are you not?"

"I am but..." he moved in front of me and got on his knees, putting his hands on my waistband. I widened my eyes and smiled.

"I mean, I'm wide awake." Blaine laughed. This was our first night alone together. At least in a long time. Now that our relationship is pretty serious, I'm up to anything.

I feel like Blaine and I are just way ahead of the usual relationship. We went on dates and hung out before we even officially got together so by then we were already pretty close.

The next morning, I woke up and blah e had already left for work. I got up and cracked Sophie's door open. It was still pretty early so she was still asleep. When I walked into the kitchen, I saw a note on the fridge dry erase board.

Call me when you wake up?

I smiled and grabbed my phone, calling Blaine. It took him no time to answer.

"Morning!" I said.

"Morning." He replied, yawning.

"How's work?"

"Boring. I'm on the side of the road, waiting for people to speed."

"Ooh... fun..."

"Mhm. Definitely."

"So, I need to talk to you tonight."

"Uh oh..."

"It's not bad! I promise."

"Okay. Good." I laughed. "Anyways..." He said, continuing to talk because of how bored he is.

Sophie and I headed to the store when she woke up. I got some groceries for the week, special food for tonight, and I even got things for Sophie's favorite dinner.

Blaines shift was over at 5pm. I was almost done with making dinner because I knew he'd be hungry immediately after getting off. He showed up a little after his shift was over. I didn't hear the door open but I felt him wrap his arms around my body. I put my hand over one of his and looked back a little.

"Hey babe!"

"Hi." He said, sighing. I put down the spatula and turned, wrapping my arms around him too.

"You need to get dressed for dinner."

"How much time do I have? Can I shower?"

"Yeah, go ahead."

"Thanks!"

"No problem." So he showered and I finished all our dinners. Sophie got her favorite. Banana pancakes. I was ripping her pancakes into pieces on her tray when Blaine came back out and sat down. Sophie leaned towards the pieces so look closer. Then she looked at me.

"They have banana. Don't worry." She picked one up and popped it into her mouth.

"Mmm..." Blaine laughed.

"This looks delicious babe! Thank you!"

"You're welcome." I finished ripping her pancakes up and started eating my food.

"So, what do you wanna talk about?" Blaine asked. I'm really nervous but last time this happened, Blaine had no problem with what I was saying. Hopefully, this is the same situation so I'm just gonna rip the bandaid off.

"So, you've already been hanging around a lot recently..."

"Mhm."

"So, I was thinking— maybe you'd wanna move in?" He froze and looked up at me. I shifted uncomfortably in my seat. "Do you wanna break up with me now?" He laughed and shook his head.

"No. I just wasn't expecting that."

"In a bad way?"

"No! I umm— I mean, yea. I would love to. If you're sure."

"Of course I'm sure. I love you."

"And I love you!" We smiled at each other and continued to eat and talk.
