I let out a small groan as I lifted the heavy box up the long flight of stairs.
"Do you need any help with that, Miss?"
I placed the box onto the step above me and turned to see an older man standing on the last landing.
"Oh, yes please," I replied.
He smiled at me and hobbled up the stairs to where I was standing.
"What's a little lady like you doing with all these heavy boxes?" the man asked, lifting one side of the box while I lifted the other.
"I'm moving into the empty apartment upstairs with my boyfriend."
"That's nice. I remember moving into this building when I was only eighteen with my soon to be wife, God rest her soul." the man said with a smile.
We hobbled up the rest of the steps before we finally made it to the landing where my new apartment was.
"Thank you," I said,"I'm sorry. I didn't catch your name."
"Victor," he replied with a soft smile.
"My name is Kalah," I said,"Would you like to come in? It's not much, but I could make some coffee or something."
He shook his head,"No thank you. I must get back to my apartment. The grandkids are over and their mother is sleeping."
I thanked him once more before he made his way back down the step and back to his apartment.
I let out a sigh as I pushed the heavy box into the apartment and closed the door.
It had been a few hours since Chandler had left to go get some groceries and I was slightly worried.
I pulled out my phone and called him.
"Hey baby," he replied,"What's up?"
"Where are you? I just brought the last box in with the help of one of the neighbors and I was worried."
"I'm fine. I'm almost home. I got a little sidetracked."
I raised an eyebrow,"What do you mean?"
"You'll see. I'll be home in a minute."
I sighed as he hung up and I was left in the silence of the empty space.
It was filled with a bunch of filled boxes of both Chandler and I's things.
I couldn't believe it when he found this place.
For years, I had dreamed of moving out of my parent's cramped house, filled with my lot of siblings and my dog, Sharpay, but I couldn't afford to do it on my own, and I couldn't find a roommate.
That was why I was so excited when my boyfriend, Chandler, asked me to move in with him.
I was excited until I realized that he was going to help me bring half of the boxes up the stairs and then get sidetracked at the supermarket.
I heard a knock on the door and figured it was Chandler.
Because we had just got the apartment, there was only one set of keys and Chandler insisted I use them to continue bringing the boxes in.
"It's me," he called.
I turned the locks on the door and was met with the smiling face of Chan.
"Why are you smiling like that?" I asked as he placed a kiss on my cheek.
"Promise not to scream?" he asked, smiling wider.
"Where are the groceries?" I questioned.
"I told you," he said,"I got sidetracked. Now are you ready to see the distraction?"
I frowned,"You know you're going to have to go out and get-"
Suddenly, he pulled out a little puppy from under his coat.
"A puppy!" I exclaimed.
"I know," he smiled,"She's cute, right?"
I nodded as he handed me the little baby darling.
"She's yours," he said.
I looked up from the squirming puppy into his baby blue eyes,"You got me a puppy?"
"I know that you were upset that you were leaving Pay, so I figured we could have a baby of our own."
I pulled him to me and placed a long kiss on his lips,"I love that. Thank you."
"So," he asked, pulling me closer to him by my waist,"What are you going to name her?"
"Hmmm, I think she looks like a Paris."
"Okay," he said, kissing me on the cheek,"Paris it is."
I think this one was short, but it was a dedication to my beautiful babies. My Paris and Sharpay.
This is Paris
This is Pay.
I'm sorry, they were just my inspiration because they literally were laying on me while I was writing, so...
Plus, I need more requests.
Luv ya ~Miki
