beyond the boundaries*
chapter 17
Josh stepped inside Amanda�s apartment; he wrapped his arms around her, holding her tightly.
�I missed you so much.� He said against her neck.
�I missed you too.� She said, �Here let�s close the door.� She still held onto him closing the door. She pushed him lightly against the door, looking up at him.
�I love you.�
He smiled lightly. He put his hands on her face. �I love you too.� He leaned down and kissed her. He had craved those lips for a whole 3 months and finally got a chance to kiss them. The kiss deepened and Amanda wrapped her arms around his neck tightly bringing him closer.
The kiss never ended as they walked to the bedroom together.
�Nice place.� Josh said in-between kisses.
�Thanks.� Amanda smiled. �Guess what?�
�Hmm?� He said continuing the kiss.
�I get to go back home.� She said
Josh stopped. �Really?�
She smiled. �Yeah, my dad talked to Matthews and convinced him to let me go home; he was going to make me stay an extra 3 months.�
�He was, why?�
�Long story.�
�Oh, but I�m so happy!� He kisser her.
�Me too. Get the hell out of this hole.�
JC chuckled.
�I�m serious. This place sucks.�
A little kitten walked into Amanda�s bedroom.
�Oh who�s this?� Josh asked picking up the kitten.
�This is Sky.�
�Sky�cute.�
Amanda smiled. �I got him a little bit after I moved here. He keeps me company.�
�Aw were you lonely honey?� Josh said leaning over and kissing her cheek.
�Yes.�
�Not anymore, ok?�
�Alright.� She smiled.
�Good�ok so can we got to sleep now?� He asked
Amanda raised an eyebrow at him.
He chuckled. �Not that kind of sleep, that�s later.� He said winking at her. She laughed. �I�m really tired from the concert.�
�Ok we�ll go to sleep.� She laughed. They laid down together on the bed and fell asleep in each other�s arms.

A week later.
Amanda came home from her last day of work and Josh was there packing for her.
�What are you up to now?� She said
�I�m packing for you.� He smiled.
�I thought you had a concert tomorrow?�
�I do. I wanted to come help my girlfriend pack and go home.�
She smiled. �Aw, you�re so sweet. Thank you.�
�No problem baby.� He kissed her cheek.
�Let me help you.� She began to help him pack her belongings.
An hour later.
�Come on, let�s take a break and have some dinner.� Josh said
�Okay, what you making?�
�How does Chinese food sound?�
�Figures�� She laughed. �Sounds great.�
�Ok I�ll go order it. Be right back.�
�Ok.� She walked into the living room and sat on the couch, the only remaining thing in the room.
Josh walked into the living room shortly after her.
�It will be her in about 20 minutes.� He said sitting next to her.
�Ok.�
They sat back on the couch and it was quiet for a while.
�I�m not going to miss it here.� Amanda chuckled. Josh smiled.
�Amanda, can I ask you a question?� He said
�Sure.� She said looking at him.
�Instead of moving back in with Eve when you get back home�will you move in with me?� He asked looking at her the whole time.
�Us live together?� She said
�Yeah.�
She smiled. �I love that idea.�
Josh smiled. �I�m glad.� He leaned down and gave her a quick kiss on the lips.
�What is Eve going to think of this? She needs me.�
�I need you.�
�I know you do sweetie, we�ll figure something out.�
�Can we keep Sky?� JC asked
�Of course, I wasn�t leaving without him.�
They talked for a little bit longer. The food came and they ate dinner on the floor in the living room with some wine and candles lit.
�How romantic.� Amanda said
�I know. I�m good�it can�t get better than this.� Josh smiled.
Amanda smiled.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
�It�s good to be home.� Amanda said getting out of her car.
�AMANDA! You�re home!� Eve said
�Yes! Thank God and Dad!� Amanda said hugging her sister.
�Where�s Josh?�
�He has a concert today, he couldn�t make it, but he drove me here. He had to take a flight to Montana this morning.�
�Oh ok�so you need help bringing everything in?�
�Um actually�we need to talk about that.�
They sat down on the patio swing.
�Ok what about it?�
�Josh asked me to move in with him, and I accepted.�
�You�re moving in with Josh?�
�Yeah. I feel so bad because I don�t want to leave you. I don�t have to if you want me to stay with you.�
�No, no it�s ok. I�ll be alright. That�s wonderful that you two are living together. Congratulations!�
�Thank you. Are you sure you�re ok?�
�Of course. Ok so do you need help bringing everything to his house?�
�Yes. He gave me a key, and directions. Want to go now?�
�Sure.�
The two got into the car and left to find Josh�s�and Amanda�s new house.
