Another Day in Nashville

"Where does this go?" Calle Jarnkrok asked carrying one of my boxes into James'

"Um. Just set it in the living room." I smiled

"Dickie is pissed..." James said as he came in with another box "Where does this one go babe?"

"That one can go to the bedroom and I know he is..." I sighed "I'll call him."

"I wouldn't bother with him, Em." Calle said coming in with another box as James headed up the steps

"He's my friend. Bedroom."

"He may be your friend, but he's being an ass." Filip Forsberg said coming in with another box "This one is marked fragile."

"Kitchen." I smiled. James came down and kissed me on the cheek "Should I call him?"

"If that's what you want to do, Emmy...do it. But Fil and Calle are right."

"We're always right." Filip said "That box was the last one. Kom igen, Calle, måste vi gå till Mattias'."

"Hänga på, jag kommer." Calle called from upstairs

Filip smiled "We are going to Eks' for supper. Calle taking to long."

James laughed "Of course."

Calle came down "Always in a rush."

"Thanks for the help, guys." I said hugging Calle and Filip "You guys are awesome."

"No problem. Later, Nealer." Calle said as they left

James smiled and pulled me into his arms "I love you."

"I love you too. Let's get to unpacking!" I laughed

"I'll play 18 on my 6's." James said as he took a bite of rice from his Chinese food container

I smiled over at him as I took the dice, placing them back in the cup and rolling. We were enjoying our first night in our house together. I mean we'd enjoyed many nights at his place before or my old place, but this was the first time we were actually living together. We'd ordered in Chinese food and were playing Yahtzee! "Small straight." I said handing him the cup as I took a bite of chicken

"I've never tried orange chicken before. Is it good?" he asked adjusting his glasses as he started his rolls

"Here. Try a piece." I smiled handing him a bite

"Mhm." James said taking a bite "That's good. I like that."

I laughed "It is."

"Yahtzee!" James laughed

"Dammit..."

James grinned "I told you, I'm good at this game."

"We'll see, buddy." I laughed

"Buddy?" James laughed

"Mhm." I nodded taking the dice and rolling

"Emmy?"

"Yeah, James?" I smiled looking over at him

"I'm glad you moved in with me."

"I'm glad too, James. Thanks for asking me."

"I wanted to ask you for a while..." he admitted

I smiled and leaned over, kissing him "Well, I'm glad you asked me. I love you, James Neal."

"I love you too, Emilee Donahue."
