Chapter 1
"Is that the last of it?" Riley Matthews asked her boyfriend as he placed the box on the kitchen counter.
"I think so," Lucas Friar said as he looked around their apartment.
Their apartment. The thought brought a smile to his face and a warmth to his heart. The twenty and twenty-one year old were about to start their junior year at NYU. After much thought and discussion, they decided that it was time to get a place of their own. They had been dating for the last six years and knew that their relationship was not slowing down any time soon. They both agreed that living together was the next big step in their relationship. It was one they were ready for. They were ready to take on this moment together.
"There is so much to unpack," Riley's brown eyes widened as she took in all the boxes. They took up the majority of their living room and kitchen.
"We have time," Lucas shrugged but realized that she was completely right.
"No we don't!" Riley protested. "We have to start thinking about school and our jobs. We are never going to get this place organized. Plus we still haven't decided what we want to do with the second bedroom."
"Riley," Lucas walked over and laughed at her rambling.
"Plus we have to decorate. Our friends are going to want to come over and hang out. We have absolutely no where for them to sit or even eat!" Riley exclaimed and then felt Lucas's lips on hers. "There's no time for kissing!"
"There's always time for kissing," Lucas corrected.
"Why aren't you more worried?" Riley placed her hands on her hips and raised an eyebrow.
"I think you are worried enough for the both of us," The Texas native laughed.
"I just want this to be perfect," Riley pouted.
"It will be perfect," Lucas promised.
"How do you know that?" Riley asked.
"Because we are here together," Lucas said. "If I have learned anything in the last six years of our relationship, it's that we work well together. There is nothing that we can't get through."
"I love you," Riley smiled and leaned into her boyfriend's arms.
"I love you too princess," Lucas kissed his girlfriend's forehead.
"You know," Riley lifted her lip in a smirk. "We haven't seen the bedroom yet."
"Oh?" Lucas raised an eyebrow. Riley started to blush at the look he gave her and felt her heart fill with love.
"Maybe we should go check it out?" Riley asked. Lucas never answered with words. He flipped his girlfriend over his shoulder and started to walk towards the bedroom. "Lucas!" Riley laughed.
Later that night, Riley walked out into the living room. She was in a pair of old sweats and one of Lucas's NYU t-shirts. She sat down on one of the boxes and looked around the apartment. Everything felt right. She knew that what she and Lucas had was meant to last. She saw something sticking out of the box right in front of her. She reached over to grab the red velvet box and smiled. She knew exactly what was in that box. It took her back to when she was fourteen years old. She popped the box open and smiled. It was the jellybean Lucas gave her when he chose her all those years ago.
"You're not seriously unpacking are you?" Lucas rubbed the sleep out of his eyes and sat next to the box his girlfriend was sitting on. "What you got there?"
"It's the jellybean you gave me at the ski lodge," Riley showed him the velvet box and he smiled as he took it from her.
"Talk about a throwback," Lucas laughed.
"Did you think then that we would be where we are today?" Riley asked.
"I did," Lucas nodded.
"Really?" Riley asked and ran a hand through his hair.
"I knew then that you were the girl I wanted to be with for the rest of my life," Lucas said.
"We were so young," Riley laughed.
"It didn't matter," Lucas said. "I always knew in my heart that it was you."
"I did too," Riley admitted.
"Still glad you fell into my lap on the subway?" Lucas asked.
"I would fall into your lap on the subway every day for the rest of my life," Riley promised.
