**Victoria's POV**

I felt kisses being placed along my shoulder while I woke up. My eyes opened and shut again when I saw the sunlight coming through the window.

"Baby wake up, we're going to look at houses today" I heard Mike say into my neck.

"What time is it?"

"Eleven, c'mon let's go I made food for you" He said pulling on my hand. I gave in and got up, trailing behind him as we walked down to the kitchen. We were still alone in the house.

"Mac and Cheese?" I laughed looking at the pot that rested on the table.

"Well you don't like breakfast food unless it's from Waffle House"

"Thank you baby" I smiled and kissed him before I started eating.

"How many bedrooms do you think we need? I mean, what if one day, you know..." He said nervously while he looked through the news paper.

"Oh....uhm...three?" The mac and cheese squished around in my bowl while I moved the spoon through it.

"Look at this one" He made a circle on the paper with the pen in his hand and moved it towards me so I could see.

"Four bedrooms, inground pool, swingset, two car garage, two and a half bathrooms, living room, tv
room, dinning room, eat in kitchen, finished basement..." I read off the small list below the picture. "Mikey we'll never be able to afford this"

"It's $450,000" He pointed to the price below the ad.

"We don't have that kind of money" I shook my head.

"I've been saving up to get a place of my own...I could probably afford the down payment. And it's not like either of us have bad credit or whatever." He concluded. I looked down at my food and bit my lip.
"Baby we could do this" He said placing his hand over mine.

"I've got some money put away, you don't have to use all of yours" I smiled up at him.

"So this is the one then?" A small smile started to form on his lips.

"I mean I guess" I sighed sarcastically. Mike jumped up and ran over to me, picking me up and twirling me around the kitchen.

"We're buying a house!" He yelled laughing.

"We have to go see it first!" I giggled once he put me down.

"Well duh! I'll call the realtor and clean up while you go take a shower" Mike smiled down at me.

"How did I end up with someone so wonderful?"

"I ask myself the same thing about you" He whispered against my lips before he covered them with his own. "Now go shower!"

"I'm going I'm going oh my god" I groaned walking towards the shower.

Mike pulled up infront of the light blue house we looked at in the paper. There was a short white fence wrapping around the outskirts of the front yard. There was a woman standing on the front steps waving at us. When we got out of the car I saw her face falter a bit. Of course. You couldn't believe two 27 year olds covered in tattoos and piercings would be able to afford such a beautiful house.

"What a fucking skeez" I grumbled as Mike and I walked up the driveway.

"Stop it, play nice. This is our dream house baby" He lifted my chin up and kissed me quickly.

"You must be Mr. Fuentes" She forced a smile and held out her hand for him to shake.

"Call me Mike" He said as they shook hands.

"And you are?" She questioned turning to me.

"Victoria, Mike's girlfriend" I forced the same smile she did while I spoke.

"Well I'm Macey Green. Would you like to see the rest of the house?" Macey rested her hand on the doorknob.

"Of course" Mike answered her.

We walked through the big white door and stepped onto a little square made up of stone. There was a staircase right infront of the door, and a room with white carpetting to the left that led into a dinning room.

"This is the living room, all new carpetting was just put down" She walked into the room to the left, motioning at the ground. There was a big bay window that faced the front lawn with a cushioned bench in it.

"Mikey look at the window" I gasped pulling him towards it. I loved windows like that. "It's absolutely gorgeous.." I trailed my fingers along the cushion as we walked past it.

"This is the dinning room, the chandelier was put in two years ago, isn't it beautiful?" She grinned.

"It is" I smiled.

"Oh, and this goes out the the back yard" She pulled the sliding glass door open and stepped out onto the deck.

Mike pulled me through the door with him and I shut it behind us. I looked out over the backyard that had a wooden swingset next to a huge tree on one end, an inground pool on the other, and a nice sized shed in the back.

"You can see the beach from up here" Mike said to me softly.

"Oh yes, the view is wonderful!" Macey chirped. "Let's go back inside"

She led us back through the sliding door and made a left from the dinning room. The cooking area of the kitchen was shaped in a U. The fridge on my left, the oven next to it. The sink was in the middle, right below a window that looked into the backyard. The stove was on the right, sticking out so you could look at the table on the other side. There was a door across from the end of the counter that led to the finished basement that she showed us. At the end of the kitchen there was a little hall way with a small bathroom in the middle and a laundry room at the end that had a door to the garage in it. We went back to the kitchen and turned into a large room with light tan carpetting.

"I would suggest that this be the tv room, and the other one like a fancy living room for holidays and such" She said as we exited the room, ending up where we began. The whole house was in a big loop.

"Shall we take a look at the bedrooms?"

The first bedroom was to the right of the staircase. It was small, but would be perfect for Mike's drums.
The next door was another bathroom but the one after that was a bedroom with pink carpetting and walls. There were two windows in the far right corner where the walls met. It was perfect for a little girl. I felt Mike squeeze my hand and I smiled up at him. Maybe kids weren't such a bad idea after all. The next room was the master, complete with its own bathroom and walk in closet. The last room had light green carpet and white walls with teddy bear wallpaper running through the middle.

"So what do you think?" Macey said slapping her hands against her sides.

I looked up at Mike and smiled again, he looked down, doing the same.

"I think it's absolutely perfect" He said still staring at me.

"Really?!" I squeeked again.

"Yup" He answered

"Mike we're buying a house!" I screamed throwing my arms around his neck while he spun me around.

Mike and I walked out of the house hand in hand after doing all the paperwork with Macey in the kitchen.

"Mikey look" I pointed to the square of cement where the walkway met the drive. It was still wet.

"You thinking what I'm thinking?" He smirked.

I smiled and pulled the brace off of my arm, pushing the sleeves of my shirt up to my elbows. I kneeled down in front of the cement and waited for him to do the same.

"Ready?" I giggled.

"Go!" He shouted.

We both pushed our hands into the wet cement and laughed. It was a weird feeling, hard and grainy but mushy at the same time. We pulled our hands out, the imprint staying. I wrote my initials underneath my hands and he did the same, but he put a plus sign between our names. I pointed my index finger out and drew the word 'forever' in script below both of them.

"Now where do I wipe my hands!" I laughed.

"Well I'm wiping mine on your butt!" He screamed coming towards me.

"No! My jeans Mikey!" I ran from him, climbing up the huge tree in the yard.

"Come down from there!" He yelled.

"No! Never!" a small giggle escaped from my lips.

"Vicky..." he looked up at me with a soft smile on his face.

"Yes baby?"

"This is how we met. You in a tree, and me down here" He smiled. I wiped my hands on the tree
removing as much cement as I could before reaching down and cupping Mike's face in my hands. I craned my neck around the branch and pressed my lips to his. His arms reached up and wrapped around my waist, pulling me from the tree and sending us both crashing to the ground.

"Way to go loser" I laughed, laying ontop of him.

"Oh hush" my entire body moved as he laughed beneath me.

"I love you Mikey"

"I love you too baby" he said. I smiled down at him as we layed in the front yard of our new house.

When we got back to Vic's, the driveway was filled with cars. Everyone was home I guess. I saw Leo, Chelsea, and Maddie's cars on the street and almost jumped out of the car before Mike even parked.

"Where are you going?" Mike yelled as I ran towards the house.

"The girls!" I screamed back. I hadn't seen them since the day Mike and I had that huge fight. I busted through the door and ran straight at Leo, hugging her tighly as soon as I was close enough. "I missed you so much!"

"Oh my god I missed you too! Don't you ever leave me like that again you ass!" She squeezed me back.

"Maddie!" I yelled pulling her in for a hug as soon as I separated from Leo. "How are you baby doll!"

"I'm good! I missed you so so much Vicky!" She giggled, tossing her gorgeous brown hair over her shoulder.

"Where the fuck is she!? I hear that bitch!" I heard Chelsea's voice over the stomping on the stairs.

"I'm right here!" I screamed opening my arms wide. She practically tackled me when she hugged me.

"You are a lunatic you know that?! You're never leaving again!" I heard her say.

"Cat! No! Walrus! I don't even know! Tony what the fuck are you supposed to be!?" Maddie shouted at her boyfriend while we played Charoodles.

"Elephant!" I yelled. His eyes went wide and he started pointing to the sheepcat on the counter behind him. "Sheep cat? No. Hairy elephant!" He nodded frantically and motioned for me to keep going. "I don't know! What the fuck is a hairy Elephant, Anni!"

"Wooly mammoth!" Jaime screamed jumping out of his chair.

"YES!" Tony screamed pointing to Jaime.

Everyone started laughing at themselves. We really got into boardgames when we played. I looked around at all my friends as we all laughed. I loved these people. They were my family, and I wouldn't trade them for anything in the world. Especially Mike.

Notes

This was kind of a filler! I put a lot of description into their house, which I based off of the house I grew up in when I was little.

Enjoy! (:

Also, right after I finished this chapter, I'd realized that this may be ending soon! I've gotten really attached to these characters and this story altogether! I'm trying to make it as long as I possibly can because I don't think I'll be able to handle this ending as much as you guys! But who knows, maybe I'll make a sequel ;)
