Friday finally arrived, and me and Aston were loading his belongings into a van to take to our new house. We'd already collected everything from my apartment. I didn't have to bother about selling it, as it was a rented apartment.
'Ast, please please PLEASE let me help' I begged Aston as him, Marvin and JJ carried one of the sofas out of the apartment.
'Baby, you are helping' he said, struggling as they tried to get it down the stairs, as it wouldn't fit in the lift.
'Not properly, I want to help move the bigger things!' I moaned, following them down the stairs. Aston was only letting me carry small light boxes because he didn't want me to hurt myself.
'Chloe, I don't want you to hurt yourself or the baby! If you really want to help, go grab some boxes or something!'
'Ugh, fine' I huffed, stomping back up to the apartment. I hadn't been allowed to move out my own things either.
'You okay?' Nikki asked as she came out of the apartment with two boxes.
'Ast won't let me help!'
'Well, you don't exactly need to help. There's already Ast, Marv, Reesh, Jay and JJ to move out the furniture' she smiled.
'Yeah, but I wanted to help too!' I sulked.
'Babe, you should be happy you don't have to help! You can relax while the boys handle everything.
'I guess' I sighed, going to get some more boxes. Aston and Marvin had tried to share out their furniture as equally as they could, although Aston got slightly more, as we had a huge house to fill. As I was bending down to pick up a box, I felt two strong arms wrap themselves around my waist.
'I'm sorry you can't help as much as you'd like too.. But I don't want you to hurt yourself' Aston said. I stood up with my box and turned to face him, the box stuck awkwardly in between us.
'I know' I smiled, kissing him on the cheek and skipping off back to the van.
'At last, we're finished!' Aston said as we loaded Aston's bed into the van. We all cheered, relieved that everything was ready.
'Now, we better be getting home' Aston smiled, wrapping his arms around my waist and pushing his lips onto mine. I immediately flung my arms around his neck and kissed him back, playing with the hair on the back of his neck.
'Get a room!' JJ shouted, causing everyone to laugh.
'Oh we will, don't worry. As soon as this stuff is loaded into our new home' Aston grinned.
'Ew! Too much info!' Oritsé cringed, making everyone laugh again.
We finished loading our things into our new house just before midnight.
'Thank god that's over' Aston chuckled softly as we collapsed back onto our sofa in our new home. Our living room wasn't much yet.. Just two sofas, a TV in the corner of the room and a light on the ceiling with no lampshade. The only other rooms that had anything in was our bedroom and en suite. Our bedroom had our bed and our en suite had a toilet and shower; we made sure they got fitted before we moved in. It was going to be a long time until everything was sorted...
