City Comes to the Country (Tyler Night and Whitelily)

"Oh trust me babe, I do look at you,"

Ele said, letting her eyes travel down Tyler's body. His shirt was hiding his muscles, but Ele could certainly feel them under her as they moved,

"And I have enough that I could put a decent amount towards a down as well, but that brings up the next question."

Ele's eyes went back to Tyler's and she tipped her head to the side,

"Are you wanting me to move in with you?"

Biting her lip, Ele looked down, her hands on Tyler's chest as she thought about his words. She had done some commissions, and of course she was used to the designs that she had done for clients. Tyler's idea was seeming less and less far-fetched as Ele thought about everything and it all slowly coming together.

Giving a small smile, Ele looked at Tyler,

"You really think we can do this? I move out here and we start something together?"

City Comes to the Country (Tyler Night and Whitelily)

"Wait, wait, wait..."

This time Ele sat up, straddling Tyler, and looked down at him as he explained what he was talking about,

"You want to buy a gallery with me, and basically own a business with me? Is that what you're saying?"

City Comes to the Country (Tyler Night and Whitelily)

"A shop? For what?"

She asked, staying where she was, but her expression was confused. Ele would have been perfectly happy using some of her savings to break her lease and move her things to Michigan, but Tyler's words confused her.

Sighing and relaxing there for a few minutes, Ele finally spoke softly,

"I'm going to call my boss and quit, Kate already knows and is packing my things from the apartment. I'm also thinking about putting in an application to an art gallery in town that's looking for a manager..."

Raising her head to rest her chin on Tyler's sternum, Ele looked at Tyler,

"What do you think?"

At the house, Ele took the rest of the bags and brought them inside, then went back out to get her things. Her stomach fluttered as she brought her carry-on inside with her art things. It really was like she was moving in, bringing her things into Tyler's space and making it a little bit more like her own. Going past the kitchen, Ele went to the bedroom and set her things in there, then went back out to put the airbrush set in the garage.

Back inside she helped Tyler put the rest of the groceries away, then took his hand and lead him to the couch. Pushing him so he laid down, Ele climbed on top of him and laid her head on his chest and closed her eyes.

"Just cuddle me for a while. We haven't done that enough."

City Comes to the Country (Tyler Night and Whitelily)

"Now I know where I get it from."

Ele muttered as she put her phone back in her pocket and followed Tyler. Smiling, she put her hands on his shoulders, and gave him a kiss on the cheek,

"That's another thing you're great at doing, putting up with my annoying butt."

As they shopped, Ele got what she needed and soon the cart was filled with their groceries. At the counter, Ele called past Tyler for the cashier to break the total in half before he could buy everything.

Hauling everything back to the truck, Ele was walking next to Tyler with her hand on his arm when her phone buzzed again. When she checked she swallowed hard,

"Kate says my mom is at my work again. She's not giving up."

Putting the bottles into the cart, Ele got back on and nodded,

"Yes, because we should definitely add illegal alcohol making to the list of illicit activities you have introduced me to!"

She laughed, feeling in a much better mood now,

"You're turning this good girl bad!"

City Comes to the Country (Tyler Night and Whitelily)

"Good, then we both agree that we will both contribute to the grocery bill."

Ele said with a conclusive nod and bright smile to Tyler,

"Egg rolls sound great! Oh!"

Hopping off the cart, Ele hurried around the corner and disappeared for a couple minutes as she looked for what she needed. When she came back to the cart, she had a couple bottles of wine in her hands,

"Ta da! To celebrate the car starting!"
