FOREVER

Chapter 22: Home Is Where You Are

*Becky's POV*

We made it to Carter's house in less than a half hour. He parked in the driveway and opened his side quickly. I unbuckled the seatbelt to my side and opened the door. I climbed out and closed the car door. I went over to grab my bag from the back seat, but he already got it. I smiled when I noticed my bag in his hand. "I could've gotten that" I said, referring to the bag. He chuckled. "Nah, I'm happy to help" I chuckled as we walked up to the front door. As soon as the door was unlocked, we stepped in and I quickly closed the door behind us. Carter took my bag up to his room as I just followed behind. When we reached his bedroom door, I stopped and just stood in the door frame. I looked at Carter, and couldn't help but smile. Knowing that he cares about me and that he really does love me. I walked up from behind him and wrapped my arms around his torso. I heard him chuckle as he put his hands on my own. "Thank you for everything" I said, hugging his back. "Of course babygirl. I'm always here for you whenever you need me to be" he said as he lifted my hand up and kissed the back of it. I couldn't help but smile. I know I keep mentioning this, but how on Earth did I get so damn lucky enough to have such an amazing guy like him? He's just too incredible and I can't imagine my life without him. I removed my arms from around him, and walked over to where my duffle bag was. I picked it up and turned around facing Carter. "Where can I set this at?" I asked him. He smiled walking towards me. "You can set that on top of the box in the closet" he said as he pointed towards the closet. "Thanks" I said, putting the bag where he said it could go. "You're welcome babe" I heard him say from behind me. I walked back over towards him and and wrapped my arms around him. He wrapped his arms around my shoulders, giving me a tight hug. We stayed like that for a few minutes before we layed down in his bed. I had my arms wrapped around his waist as my head was resting on his chest. We layed here silently for a moment before he spoke up. "Whenever you decide on going back home, just let me know okay?" He said, stroking my hair. I leaned my head up and looked over at him. He smiled at me. I gave him a smile back before speaking. "This is home. Right here with you" the smile on his face grew bigger once I said that. "Are you saying you still want to live with me?" He asked, hope filled his eyes. I moved up from my spot, to where my face was a few inches from his. "Yes. I most definitely do" I said, staring straight in his eyes with a huge smile on my face. His hand shot up to the back of my neck, gently pulling my face down towards his, and kisses me. The smile still remained on his face as we kissed. Which made me smile a little more as well.

Definitely, can't wait to live with this amazing guy.
