Finally a home~ Private

Marley smiled, nodding. "We can look at them together." She said. "But if you want to surprise me... by all means, do it." She smiled, letting her accent show again.

"Hn, that accent again....Geez, I have to admit that with hearing that all the time, I won't be able to keep to myself." Joshua admitted, smiling sheepishly and blushing a bit.

She smiled at him. "This is who I am... I don't want to hide who I am around you." She said. She'd hide herself with other people, people who wouldn't like her being english, but, she'd never hide with him.

Joshua smiled back, nodding. "Of course. Just keep an eye out for if my hands go places." he grinned, joking. "So, What kind of apartment would be ideal?" he asked, making sure.

"Uhm... Well, I want something with a kitchen. Two rooms so that Momma can have the option to stay here or stay with us. Just, basic stuff for an apartment." she shrugged.

Joshua nodded. "That should be cheap, definitely." he said smiling. "Well, uh..anything else you want to mention?" he asked, scooting closer and draping an arm around her shoulders.

Marley smiled, tangling her legs with his and draping an arm over his waist. She shook her head. "No, I don't think so."

Joshua nodded, chuckling. "Ok, I guess it's off to bed then?" he asked, cuddling and making himself comfortable as he held Marley in his arms.

She smiled. "Yeah, I guess... it is late." she said then kissed his lips softly. "I love you, Joshua."

Joshua stared at Marley and smiled. "Love you too." he said, kissing her again and then laying down, closing his eyes. "Night." he mumbled as he fell asleep.

"Good night." she said softly, falling asleep herself.

Max whimpered, sleeping between them. Joshua however felt great, a bit better than before. The next morning came quickly, him waking up early to start looking into apartments on the laptop. He was still in bed though, making sure to be quiet.

Marley slowly woke up and smiled at him, moving some hair out of his face. "good morning."

Joshua looked down at Marley and smiled. "Morning. Sleep good?" he asked as he kept looking through apartment sites that had locations close to home.

She nodded, streching. "Yeah. I slept great. How long have you been up?" she asked, yawning the last bit.

Joshua shrugged. "A few minutes, maybe fifteen." he said, yawning and smiling. "I'm just looking at apartments."

"Find anything good?" She asked, smiling up at him.

"Eh, prices that are good then yes, good locations..eh, not so much. I don't want to be too far away from home." Joshua said, sighing as he scratched his head and continued.

"We don't have to find one today. But, I really think it'll help us as a couple if we were alone. You know?" She asked softly, streching again.

Joshua whistled. "Of course. Hell, no more interruptions sounds amazing to me right now." he grinned, watching as Marley stretched. At least they were getting along right now.

Stretching made her stomach flat and her breats look a little bigger. She smiled at him, fixing her shirt that had ridden up. "Do you have to work today?"

Joshua certainly noticed, but he didn't really say anything. "Yeah, I'm gonna work the day and night shift. You just concentrate on getting into online schooling once I'm gone." he grinned, kissing her cheek.

"The day and night shift? When are you going to sleep?" She asked, looking at him. She didn't say anything about getting into a school. She already had a plan.

Joshua blinked. "I'm not going to school. I mean, at least one of us has to go to work if we're going to get an apartment. Think about it." he said, rubbing the back of his neck and looking at Marley.

"But when are you going to sleep?" she asked again. She was already starting to get her GED. She was smarter than the average high school student. The schools in England were teaching higher level stuff as a younger age.
