Victoria's pov
"Ask me what?" I asked as soon as he closed his bedroom door.
He told me that he would talk when we got back, since we were surrounded by people and music everywhere back at the pack house. I agreed to wait, but I was pissed. He told me that there were no more secrets.
So, I spent the entire night avoiding him, but I still had fun with my girls and Caleb since he wouldn't leave Ashley's side. We travelled separately, so I waited at the door for him to come. That's when he led me here.
"Victoria don't be mad. I didn't hide anything from you" He sighed, looking tired.
"So what was Ty talking about?" I asked and he remained silent, looking as if he was contemplating telling me or not. I honestly thought we passed this stage, yet here we were once again.
"See this is what I can't take with you! You keep everything from me then expect me to-"
"I want you to move in. Like permanently with us here" He blurted out in the middle of my rambling. This had me completely speechless as I gaped at him.
I knew what I was getting into when I involved myself with him, but I never thought about moving in with him.
"That's what he meant. He was asking me if I asked you to move in with us yet" He added, while I stayed quiet. He took that as a sign to continue. "I know its a bit much, but I'm going to need you by my side, and that includes living with me"
"But isn't that a little too fast?" I asked unsurely. He chuckled.
"Victoria your stay here will last a couple more months since your house isn't finished. Don't you think by then you'd be ready?"
I mean, he had a point but that house...
"It's the only thing I have left with them," I said out loud, not intending for him to hear.
"What do you mean?"
"That house. It was my parent's house. Then my aunt. As much as I hated my parents my whole life, it was all I had that made me feel like I sorta had them" I whispered, barely audible.
Luka sighed, holding me by the waist gently as he rested his chin on my head. "It's okay Angel. I wasn't asking you to abandon the house. If you want, we can keep it and go there whenever we want time to ourselves. You know, just you and me"
"And Twinkle," I added.
"And Twinkle," he repeated with a chuckle.
It warmed my heart that he was thinking about us long term. I didn't miss how he said 'we' instead of 'you'. I know that he saw me as a life long partner, and I wanted to give him back that same energy. But it's all in time.
"Thank you" I mumbled against his chest. He kissed my forehead, letting his lips linger a while longer.
"You're mine now Angel, I'll do everything in my power to let it remain that way."
And I believed him. I believed him with all my heart.
