Sometimes, you need a little shove to push you into the right direction...

Desiree Harper could not believe what was being told to her. Her Uncle Darwin Harper didn't just say what she thought that he said? There she sat on the couch across from her uncle with a confused and baffled look plastered on her face. When she looked at Darwin, it was like she was staring at a muscular reflection of herself. How can Darwin be like this? For the past five years, she was a good child. She went to college in Philadelphia and graduated with the best grades in the entire class—majoring in business and broadcasting were just some of her majors that she had worked so hard to getting. How can Darwin be so cold about this? She thought that this was the family that was truly on her side until the very end of it all. She guessed that she was wrong because she was just given the news that pissed her off more than her uncle deleting all of her recordings of The Walking Dead, when she was out of town. Darwin didn't like her watching shows like that, even though she liked the thrill of the show. This thing pissed her off more than anything in the world.

Darwin was asking her to move out and live with Jon.

"You're asking me to move out and live with Jon?" Desiree asked again for what seemed like the millionth time in a row. She was still living in the denial stage, not believing that Darwin wanted her out of the house. Darwin believed that it was time for his niece to move out of the house and start a life for herself and with her boyfriend of five years. He knew for a fact that Jon was not getting any younger, that Jon was in his early thirties, and felt like he would want to settle down anytime now. Darwin was already married for the past three years with his high school sweetheart Estelle, and probably felt like Desiree should do the exact same thing.

"That is exactly what I am asking you to do," Darwin clarified, "I just find it strange that you and Jon have been together for five years and still haven't experienced living with each other. I think that this will be the perfect opportunity to do so. It could take your relationship to the next level. Who knows what can come out of this. I'm not banishing you from this house, you're always welcomed to visit, whenever you want, but I like this idea of you two living with each other." he added on as Des felt uncomfortable about his request.

As Jonathan Good looked at the conversation near the kitchen, he acknowledged that his girlfriend was puzzled, and didn't know how to process this new information. He understood that moving in with a boyfriend was a huge step in a relationship, but he felt like his relationship with her can grow that way. He loves Desiree and he thinks that they are ready for this step in the relationship. If that meant going to Darwin and pushing the idea to her, he was going to do that. In fact, he did do that and that's why Desiree is having this conversation with him.

"I think the idea is a good idea, Desiree. How about you live with me for about a week, and see how you like things in Las Vegas," Jon left the kitchen area as he planted a spot next to her on the couch, sounding very persuasive, "Remember Vegas? We used to have so much fun up there! Remember, when you were afraid of the tigers in the Circus that we saw a long time ago?" he couldn't help release a laugh at the thought of Desiree holding on to him for dear life, when she saw the tiger, even though they were in the back row, which would make it impossible for the tiger to get near them.

Desiree glared at him, shaking her head, "Remember, when you saw me with my new look for the first time?" she shot back a question at him, letting go of the glare that she had on him and replacing it with a playful smirk. Who couldn't remember the time when Colby Lopez's wife, Leighla Schultz had given Desiree the makeover in China, which made Jon spit out the water out of his mouth. Jon told her it was the moment, when his breath was taken away by her beauty.

"You're so sneaky." Jon tackled Desiree on the side, crashing into the cushions of the couch, tickling her ribcage as she laughed hysterically. He then began to peck her on the lips multiple times. It wasn't long until Jon had connected with a powerful kiss on her lips, stopping all of the playing of their usual, dorky and goofy games. Desiree felt butterflies in her stomach as she looked at the man that was on top of her, this beautiful man with the bluest of blue eyes. The man that she never intended to steal his heart.

"If Desiree moves in with you, you two could do that anywhere in the house. Now, I'm tell you two to get a room." Darwin threw a plush pillow that was meant for Des at Jon, getting him off of his niece. Jon tried to recover from the actions moments ago as Desiree fixed her hair that was messed up, when Jon tackled her.

"Dessy, I think that you should think about moving in with me. I mean, we have been together for about five years and I think that we should try moving in with each other. It would be the next level for us. I'm in the road a lot, but I would love to see my girl, whenever I get home. We can be closer, I wouldn't have to automatically go to Philly over just going over to my apartment to sleep. I think that this living arrangement would be what is best for us," Jon gave one last plead to his girlfriend, "Please…" he went to nibble at her neck as Desiree tried to keep her composure.

This was Jon's typical way of persuading her; she found it funny to be quite honest. So, she giggled and said, "Fine, I'll take up your offer about the living arrangement, but if I don't like it," Desiree rose up from the couch and sat next to her uncle, putting a huge smile on her face with her arm wrapped around his shoulders, "I'll be living with my uncle Dar Dar for as long as I want!"

Darwin didn't like the sound of that, "Don't fuck this up." he ordered Jon as he turned to Des and faked a smile. This lovely moment was interrupted with a rang of a phone. All eyes went to Desiree, obviously knowing that this was her phone that had interrupted the lovely bantering going on. Des pulled out her phone and exited the living room, to take the phone call in a private. She was in the kitchen that Jon was previously at. Hopefully, no one would be hearing into their discussion.

"I'm really glad that you called," she giggled on the phone and looked back at Jon and Darwin making a conversation in the living room. It was interesting how these two were able to friend each other as soon as they began dating. Jon didn't like her father, and what made her nervous was that he was going to despise Darwin, "I really don't know how he would respond to the idea. I do want to talk to you and see what's up. Perhaps, we can arrange something?" she suggested as she noticed Jon walking up to her, wondering if the call was anything important at all, "Can I call you back?" she asked, as Jon wrapped his arms around her, "Alright, goodbye." she hug up and wrapped her arms around his neck, looking up at him.

"What was the call about?" Jon asked curiously. It was like Desiree was being a little sneaky, when it came to these phone calls. She had been getting these calls for the past month that would isolate him and the rest of the family from her. He wondered if something was wrong with her that he should be informed of.

"You'll know in a matter of time." she told him.

I know such a short chapter, but this is just the beginning chapter. What was Desiree's call about? Why can't she afford to tell Jon about it? How will this experiment of moving in work for Des?
