James sighed heavily as he put a heavy box on the floor. He and his girlfriend Alexis had just moved into their first apartment together, and of course he was carrying all the large and heavy objects. After all, he didn't want Alexis to hurt herself, especially since he supported her becoming a model. He wanted her to look the best she could, though to him she always did. The couple had been together since freshman year of high school. They went to the same college together and graduated together. While Alexis wanted to become a model, James actually joined the army towards the end of his final year. They promised he could finish college before anything else happened, and recently he had been contacted. He couldn't mention anything to anybody though, not even his girlfriend. With another sigh, he wiped his forehead and walked out on to the balcony, enjoying the fresh air of summer. “Not a bad place for as cheap as we got it,” he called to Alexis. The apartment had two bedrooms and two bathrooms, one in the master bedroom. The kitchen had a small wall between it and the living room, with a window cut out like a little bar. The dining room was connected to the living room, and they had plenty of space to put a couch and TV. For a young couple getting their first place on their own, it was a pretty good choice.

The blonde girl carried a small stack of boxed on her arms up the stairs and followed her boyfriend into the apartment. Together for years since they met in high school, the two love birds finally found a place of their own. Finishing up college was tough but they made it through like they did everything in their lives. They pushed their way through tough times in high school and college but came out stronger than ever. Arriving in the house, she blew some of the blonde hair from her face and placed the last box onto the kitchen table and found her love in the living room. Wrapping her arms gently around his waist, she rested her head against his back. She had finished up college with a bachelor’s degree in business management but her dream had always been to become a model. James was always supportive of it with the single stipulation that she wouldn’t do a lingerie photo shoot. This was something she wasn’t shy about agreeing with those terms. Promising as long as they were together she wouldn’t do lingerie modeling. She didn’t like the idea of him joining the military but he promised that he would keep in touch if/when they took him from her and that was enough for her. “It’s perfect, it has you in it.” She said softly against his back, her hand resting gently against his chest. A smile spread across her face as she placed her cheek softly against his back hearing his breathing and heartbeat. That was the most peaceful thing to her. “Do we have to start unpacking to night? Can we just order pizza and be lazy for the rest of the night?”

James chuckled softly. Order pizza and be lazy, just like they always were. The two of them got along so well. They shared many similar interests and had a very similar way of thinking. That's why they were perfect for each other. Going through high school and college everyone thought they'd be the only couple to last all those years, and they did it.

"Alright you win, we can order pizza. I'll at least set up the TV so we can watch a movie while we eat," James said and turned around, kissing Alexis softly. Then he took out his phone and called a small pizza place in town. He knew her favorite, especially since they always got the same thing no matter where they ordered from. After placing the order and he was told it would arrive in about twenty minutes, he went over to set up their TV stand. Luckily they had already gotten their couch into the apartment.
