We Living Together Novels & Stories

he continues, "so did the media. And in their eyes, this is a real marriage. If you don't t turn up for the wedding with me, it'll look suspicious." Someone punch me. Right now. I squeeze my eyes shut, expecting more bad news. He seems to be on a roll today. "What else is there, Levi? You might as well get it all out." "We have to live together for the duration of the contract." Jesus Christ. I had thought the six-month contract being stretched to a year was bad enough. But this? This isn't an inconvenience anymore. It is just pure torture.

I was beginning to think he would back out, especially when he suddenly rested his back on the couch and stared directly at my face. Did I go overboard with the boundaries? I only asked for freedom and I won't take it back! Levi spoke up, "Sure, but if we're going to make this work, Nova, we need to be together always. That means going to functions together and, most importantly, living together." I shook my head, "Functions and social gatherings are fine with me. But living together? No way.” Levi raised an eyebrow, clearly surprised by my disagreement. He looked like he was about to argue, but I spoke instead.

His hold on my waist tightened, "I'm deadass serious about this, Chip. I want you to move in with me." "I-I mean, isn't that like really serious?" I asked. "Or moving too fast?" "I don't care about that, Chip." He said. "I want us to live together. I don't care whether we haven't been dating for a year or more because I know what I feel for you." "Are you sure about this though? Living together is a big deal and it often ruins everything." I said. "Like, what if I have really bad habits that you don't agree with?"

She sighed and leaned on him. “I love you, and I really believe this is going to work. So I just want to have this, in case one day we decide to live together. You, Manu, and I.” It sounded good, almost too good to be true. “Aren’t you kind of living with us already? I don’t know if I or if Manu will want to leave that house. We’ve been there our whole lives.” Daniel spun her around so that they’d be face to face.

"Minimum of three and a max of six, so it sounds like to me that perhaps we'll have no less than two or three but no more than five children someday." With both of us grinning through breakfast, we discuss some of the future together. After breakfast we head to her apartment to gather some of her belongings to bring back to my, our home where we put away a majority of her clothing and toiletries and a few other items. I called Jace later in the evening to let him and Archer know that Blake and I are now officially living together and that we've discussed future possibilities. Both were excited for us and what is to come. Life is good.

I've got roast chicken in the oven and empty boxes stacked along the wall, half of them already labeled in my too-neat handwriting. KITCHEN, FRAGILE. BOOKS. NOAH'S UGLY MUGS FOR DONATION TO THE BLIND. My lease is up end of January, and after two years of paying too much rent on two separate places, to sleep in two separate beds half the time, we’re finally going to get to live together. Like two people who know they’re choosing each other. I keep walking past the boxes and feeling stupid-happy. Then a little sick. Then happy again.

Marcus’s eyes were softer than she had ever seen them, and Adrian’s had that quiet strength she had come to love. Adrian spoke first. His voice was gentle but firm. “We’ve talked. And… we love you too much to let you go. Even if it’s not what anyone would call normal.” Marcus nodded slowly. “We’re willing. Both of us. But only under one condition.” Nina’s heart jumped to her throat. “What condition?” she whispered. Marcus and Adrian exchanged a quick look, then Marcus spoke, his voice deeper than before. “We all live together. Same house. No hiding. No secrets. If we’re going to do this, it has to be real. Every day.”

And don't miss me too much. "What the hell is this, Mark?" My fingers immediately typed a reply. [You're going to let him stay with me? A girl and a guy under the same roof?] I chose to send a message instead of calling. I didn't want Eric to hear this conversation. His reply came almost immediately. [Yes, we've lived together many times. I don't see a problem with that. Besides, why are you talking like a human? Men and women living together? As wolves, we see each other naked every time we shift.] he wrote.

HIS OFFER, HER ANSWER Two weeks into living together, they fall into a rhythm that feels surprisingly natural given the complications of how they arrived at this point. He has his office. She has a study space that's becoming her own. They exist in the penthouse like two people who've learned how to share space without sacrificing autonomy. They eat breakfast together. They leave for work separately. They return to the same place. They build a life that's both together and independent.

Eloise took a deep breath, looking between the two of us with a determination that surprised me. "The three of us will live together." What the fuck?!
