The day after Thanksgiving, Ocean and I spent the day reorganizing my room. Or should I call it 'our room' now. He was officially living with me now. We were sharing a room. I would be able to fall asleep with him in my arms every night. There was no need to be so frantic and have as much sex as possible anymore because it wasn't like he was going to be going 'back home' anymore. He was home.
Ocean only brought his belongings and no furniture because that was all that was needed. I had some spare room in the dressers, but I think we were going to need some more. There was plenty of room for his stuff in the closet, for the things that needed to be hung up. But I think I should have another dresser or two of the same style delivered soon.. All I needed to do was call the same place that we bought this one from a few months ago. That was easy enough.
There were some things that could share space. Like our books and DVDs, those could be put on the same shelves. Our secret drawer stash just got a little bit bigger when I added his supplies to it. All of our bathroom stuff fit just fine in my medicine cabinet. It was all going really well. Oh, and apparently, his parents were going to take care of the change of address for him, so that he could get his mail here from now on. The only thing that Ocean was going to need to do was go to the DMV and change his license. That was simple enough.
All in all, the whole process of having him move in with me was quick and simple. And I never once thought that Ocean's parents would give us permission to do this. I was glad that they did though, it was literally killing the both of us to live apart from each other, especially after that first week together. Being without each other was making us both miserable.
We didn't do anything special the first day that we lived together. It was a Friday but there was no school, so we basically just went to the store to shop for some groceries and replenish some supplies. We needed food for the two of us for the next week or so, plus some personal items. I knew that Ocean didn't want anyone to know that we were living together yet, that would cause issues, so we were going to need to come up with excuses for why we were together all the time when we went out, that or we would have to shop alone, and I didn't want to do that, I wanted to spend time with my love.
Today's excuse was going to be that I helped him last time, so he was helping me this time, payback and all that. While we were out, I was with the shopping cart while Ocean went to get a new bottle of shampoo for our bathroom. It had been taking him a long time so I decided to go and check on him.
"Is this it?" I heard Ocean's voice. Was he asking himself a question out loud?
"Yeah, yeah, that's the address. You still have it, that's good." I heard another guy's voice on the other side of the aisle with him and it made me pause for a minute.
"OK, and what time?" Ocean asked the other guy.
"Any time after seven would be fine. We're good until at least midnight, so no rush."
"Alright, sounds good. See you later, Gio." I heard Ocean start to walk away so I started moving to catch up to him. I didn't mean to listen in on the conversation, but I knew what they were talking about anyway, so it wasn't like it was a secret.
"Hey." I called out to Ocean as he was about to pass right by me.
"Oh, hey." He smiled and ran over to me.
"So, Giovani was reminding you about the party tomorrow?" I asked him, letting him know that I had heard them talking.
"Yeah, he caught up to me when I was grabbing this." He said as he put the shampoo in the cart. "Did you get worried about me? Thinking I got lost like a little kid?" He laughed and shook his head at me.
"Well, you are my baby, just not that kind of baby" I lowered my voice so that only he could hear me, and I saw that his face went instantly red when he heard the words. "Yup, that is a good look for you."
"You're an ass hat." He snapped and turned away from me. "What do we need next?" He asked as he tried his best to not look at me.
We finished the shopping without running into anyone else and that was good. After getting home, I started to show Ocean some of the things that I had never showed him before. Like where some of the supplies we had bought at the store were supposed to be put. While we were doing that, I got a call on my phone and left him to put the rest of it away.
"Makai." It was the maid that had come with us from Florida. "Your parents pay us to do our jobs, at least let us do them once in a while."
"Fine, you can come and clean up three times a week at most." I had actually been thinking about this as well. I knew that my parents would prefer for me to have them here as well.
"Good, and as for meals? Are you even eating?"
"I am eating, Janice, I am. Hahh." I told her then sighed into the phone. "You can tell Yvette that she can come the same days that you do. But you need to be aware that I am not living alone anymore." I told her and immediately heard her cooing into the phone.
"Ooooh! And just who is it that you have living there with you?"
"My boyfriend is living with me." I decided to not beat around the bush at all. "And before you ask, yes my parents already gave their permission. They quite like him and approve wholeheartedly of our relationship."
"I am so happy for you, Makai. I have wondered when you were going to find someone that you liked. You've been alone for a while, and I know that you had a broken heart after that last relationship of yours. As long as you are happy, Makai, the rest of us are too. I will tell Yvette about the new schedules, please text us and let us know what days you want us over."
"I will. Have a good night, Janice."
"Who was that?" Ocean asked as he put the last item away when I walked into the kitchen.
"The maid. She wants to do her job." I laughed and shook my head.
"Ahh, I can understand that. She doesn't want to get fired after all."
"I guess not. Well, I told her that she can come to clean three times a week and that Yvette, the chef, can come on the same days. So, that will make it so we only need to fend for ourselves three days a week."
"Don't you mean four?" He looked confused.
"Nope, one night is for your parents." I reminded him.
"Oh, yeah, I almost forgot about that." He laughed and rubbed the back of his head like he was embarrassed by the slip up.
"Yeah, we can't forget those weekly dinners. If we did, I am certain that your mom would kill us, well one of us. Me or you, whoever they deem to be at fault. Possibly both, since the other one of us would be an accessory to the crime."
Ocean was laughing now, his embarrassment gone. I was always happy to see him smiling and happy. His smile was capable of brightening up my whole day.
That day, after shopping, we tried to figure out what our new normal routine would be. We talked about what would be best days for the staff to come and whether we should both drive to school or just one of us. We finally settled on the fact that we would alternate driving our cars, that way it was like we were switching off on who was picking up who. Whatever we needed to do to make people think that we weren't living together we would do it.
Aside from planning and brainstorming, we just hung out like we usually did. That was another good thing about us as well. No matter what Ocean and I did, going out or staying in, we were always having a good time with each other. That was, in my opinion, the mark of a truly good relationship. When you didn't need to do something to keep the love and excitement there, that was when you knew that you were with the right person. And I was so glad that I had already found him.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
