I was bummed that Olivia didn't feel the same way, but I understand. That date was boring. There was no chemistry. I had a lot of fun with Lily, but I really screwed that up. I dumped her for another girl, and now I realize that I want her. She deserves better anyway. I laid down in bed, and tried to fall asleep. I jolted up when a thought popped in my head. I need to find a new assistant.

I went over to Bill's, and he greeted me with a huge hug. It felt so good to be back in his arms. His arms were very strong, and he was holding me so tight that I thought my eyes were gonna pop out of my head. He must've realized, because he loosened his grip.

"Sorry, Liv. I just missed you and didn't want you to leave again."

"I won't. Now we have houses to stalk."

"That's how you describe house hunting?"

"Yep. Let's go!"

Bill went and got his laptop. We sat on the couch, and went on a real estate website.

"Where were you thinking of moving?"

"Well I think Georgia is really nice. How about near Atlanta?"

"Atlanta is nice. I think that's a great idea. What made you think of moving?"

"I don't know. I mean I think we could use a fresh start. Also, it might be awkward working with Mr. Wright after everything."

"Very true. Do you know where you might wanna work?"

"Actually, yes. There's this company, that is run by a friend of Mr. Wright's, Mr. Smith. I asked Mr. Wright if he'd write us recommendation letters and he said he'd love to."

"Wow! That easy huh?"

"Oh yeah. I'm so excited! Now where should we live?"

"Well I have quite a bit of money saved up so I was thinking maybe we could buy a house."

"Oh yes! What about this one?"

I pulled up a picture of a gorgeous house that was modern looking, but still charming. The price was surprising for how luxurious it was inside. Bill grinned.

"Are we really doing this right now?"

"Yeah I think we are. So what do you say? Is this the house?"

"Yes. I love it. I love you."

"I love you too. I'll email the real estate agent right now."

Hi! My name is Olivia Hamilton and my boyfriend Bill and I were looking to move to Atlanta. We recently live in New York, but we saw this house on the website and fell in love. We'd like to make an offer. Please email me back soon. Thank you!

This was a new beginning. As we laid down, I smiled. I felt Bill's arms around me, and knew this was where I belonged. I couldn't wait to tell Trinity about this.

I was walking through my door, when I see Nikko on the couch. I was done with all of this uncertainty. I needed answers. Now.

"Nikko, what's been going on? You've been acting really strange and I'm not marrying you like this."

"Hello, Trinity. Nice to see you too. How was your day? Mine was fine. Thanks for asking."

"Seriously, Nikko. You won't even look at me anymore. If there's someone else, just tell me!"

"There's no one else! You know I love you!"

"Then what the hell is going on?"

"It's nothing!"

"Yes it is! Tell me!"

"No!"

"Fine! Then take your god damn ring back!"

"So that's how it's gonna be?"

"Yes it is! As a couple, you need to be able to tell me what's bothering you so we can fix it TOGETHER! If you won't, then we shouldn't get married."

"It's nothing."

"Yes it is!"

"FINE! You wanna know what's been bothering me so badly? My parents aren't coming to the wedding. They don't approve. They said I'm too young to be throwing my life away getting married to a girl they don't like. I told them that we're in love and it doesn't matter what they say. They aren't coming."

"Oh. I'm so sorry, babe."

"It's okay. I should've told you. You're right about the team part. It actually feels good to tell you."

"I'm glad. You can tell me anything."

"Thanks, Babe. I love you."

"I love you too. Your parents really don't like me?"

"Nope. They think you're stuck up and shallow."

"Wow. That sucks."

"Tell me about it."

"Listen, maybe I'm crazy for saying this, but maybe we shouldn't get married."

"What?"

"I don't think we should go through with this."

"Why not?"

"Your family comes first. They raised you and gave birth to you. Spouses come and go, but those are your parents. I'm not going to let you distance yourself from them. I love you too much."

By now I was crying, and Nikko was too. I took off my ring, and handed it to him. He took it, and looked at me.

"No. Take this ring back. I don't care what my parents say. I love you. I love you so much. Way too much to let them stop us from getting married. I'm not 10 years old. I am a grown man, and I can make my own decisions. I don't care if I never talk to them again. It's their own fault for not accepting what makes me happy. I can't let you go. I won't. Let's get married. We can go to the courthouse tomorrow. I don't need a big wedding, I just need you. Please."

"Okay. Let's go. I'll call Liv, and we'll go first thing tomorrow morning, if you're sure this is what you want."

"I've never been more sure in my life."
