The drive home was really quiet because I didn't know what to say. This is not me. I hate this new person that I am becoming. I've never been the insecure type. Why did the thought of wearing a dress so beautiful terrify me? Maybe because I did not want to embarrass Jake for his meeting tonight. Very close to the house Jake placed his right hand on my thigh and gave me a gentle squeeze. I turned to find him looking at me.
“You're beautiful love and I love every inch of you” God no. Does he know what I was thinking?
“Thank you” I forced out not wanting to act like this anymore.
“I had plans for dinner as a surprise but we will just eat in today” He confessed. So there wa no meeting. I smiled.
“I appreciate it, Jake,” I told him.
“You’re the best thing that ever happened to me” My cheeks grew redder each second he complimented me.
We finally got home and Jake helped with bringing in the bags. I ordered pizza which Jake wasn't in support of.
“I thought I could make something for us both” He argued.
“Can we just have pizza tonight? Please” I begged. I didn't feel like eating healthy tonight.
“You know I can't say no to you” He groaned letting me place the order. The urge to remind him of the different occasions he had said no to me was so strong but I knew at the end of the day he hardly could say no to me.
“That’s why I love you” I laughed.
“Ouch_ You only love me because of the food?” He asked smiling. I nodded, yes.
“I wouldn't want to lie to you” We both laughed. We waited for the pizza to arrive so we could eat and go to bed for the day.
**************
Waking up early today I decided to be a little more productive than the day before. As soon as I got up from the bed I went to have my bath. When I was done I got in a baggy jorgas and a big top. I went into the kitchen to make something for Jake and me.
“Good morning love” Jake smiled.
“Good morning” I stared at the dining table in awe of what he had done with it.
“You didn't have to” I pulled him into a hug.
“I wanted to” H kissed my cheeks helping me sit ok the seat. While eating he held my left-hand caressing it.
“Is something wrong?” I asked concerned about how lost in thoughts he was.
“No. You should finish up so you can write today. I will be with you” He knew I weirdly liked it whenever he was sitting beside me and playing with my scalp while I write.
“Ok,” I stuffed more chicken in my mouth.
After breakfast, I cleaned the table. Jake and I started to clean the dishes together.
“Do you see yourself married to me?” Jake suddenly asked? What? He's he going I propose?
“Uhm_yeah” I wasn't sure how I was supposed or expected to answer that question.
“Not because of the kids right? But because you love me” He asked. Where were all these coming from?
“Yes, Jake. I love you. Are you dying?” I asked. He burst into laughter. I stood, my hands akimbo and I watched him as he laughed at my question. He walked closer to me to pull me closer to stand face to face with him.
“No love. I'm not dying” He answered.
“Why the questions then?” I asked again.
“I see myself married to you every day and I needed to know if it was something wanted too” He answered.
“That’s very thoughtful of you” I smiled. He held my waist firmly and leaned in to kiss me.
“I love you,” He said in between the kisses he left on my neck down. Refraining from moaning I leaned away.
“We have work” He smiled at my use of ‘we’ but he knew what I meant by that.
“We sure do,” He said stressing on the ‘we’.
After doing the dishes I brought out my laptop and my notepad. I was sitting in the chair with my legs on the table ad habit Jake really hated but I loved vit very much. He sat next to me placing his hand behind me rubbing its scalp gently. I relaxed well and started working on a new chapter. Jake was busy watching something on his phone but he had his AirPods in so I didn't have an idea what it was. I love it whenever we do something like this.

‘Slowly he pushed his fingers into her already wet and ready pussy’
It felt weird writing this beside him because I wanted him to touch me but then I need to hey work done. Jake was unaware of what troubles I was going through continued to caress my scalp until he moved his hands down. He continued watching his phone like he wasn't touching my now erect nipples.
I already got distracted so I leaned back and closed my eyes and let him continue. He stopped suddenly. I sat up and stared at him.
He dropped his phone and I did the same with my laptop. Jake carried me up to straddle him. I leaned down to kiss him as soon as I got on his lap. Jake helped remove my top leaving me naked all the way up. Getting my nipples in his mouth he licked and sucked on his skillfully with his tongue leaving me a moaning mess. I pulled my jorgas down when the doorbell went off. Quickly I got up to put my clothes back on.
“Who is it!?” I asked walking to the door.
“The kids” I looked back to see jake looking flushed. Jane! His mum! Fuck. She would definitely know what was going on.

I opened the door and smiled at Jane.
“Hi” I greeted awkwardly.
“Hello to you too Maria” She had a smirk on her face.
“I would hate to disturb you both”
“No, no it's fine Jane. Come in” I invited her in. She smiled walking in”
“What are you doing here mum?” Jake asked still not standing up.
“Don’t mind old me. I wanted to see your faces” She said. Gosh. She went beside Jake.
“Is it safe to sit here?” She asked. My face went red so did Jake’s.
“Fuck. Mum” He moved away from his mum a little but did not stand up.
“The kids are doing good children. I'll see you both tomorrow” She said standing up after a few minutes.
“Tomorrow?” Is something happening?
“Yes. There is a family dinner” She told me. She held Jake's face and dropped a kiss on his face.
“Gosh. Mum”
“I love you too Jake”
“See you tomorrow Maria” She kissed my cheeks and hugged me right then whispered,
“He loves you, don't doubt that” Huh?
She left. Immediately I closed the door we both burst into laughter.
“That was close” I laughed.
“She definitely knew what wa going on” Jake still looked embarrassed.
“Definitely.” I agreed with him. I sat beside him staring at him. I rubbed my hands on his lap slowly until I got to the band of his sweatpants. I pulled it down a little to get hold of his dick in my smaller hands.
“Maria” He called my name softly when I sucked and licked on the tip of his dick rubbing his cock simultaneously. Rolling my tongue around his tip I was able to get a moan out of him.
“Fuck Maria” Taking this as my cue I went faster forcing all of him in my mouth.
“I’m going_ to_fuck_come” I didn't stop instead I paid the tip more attention from my tongue throwing him off.
“Shit!” He said as he came into my mouth. I swallowed. He pulled me up and kissed me.
**************
It was already late at night. The time is 8:00 pm and Jake told me to get dressed in that black dress I didn't wear.
“You look perfect my love” I almost cried. How did he still find me so attractive despite the changes.
“You look good too” I complimented.
He held my waist only to grab my butt.
“Insatiable” I mocked.
“You can't blame me for being so addicted to this sexy writer” I'm always a red mess around him.
“Where are we going?” I asked.
“Nowhere” He answered.
“We’re having dinner here?” I confirmed. He nodded, yes.
“You always wanted that but it never worked out really well” He reminded me. I smiled.
“ Have I told you how much I love you?”
“Yes,” he laughed.
“Ok but I love you,” I told him.
“And I love you more”
The dining table was beautiful that I almost cried.
“This is so beautiful,” I told him.
“Thank you. I wasn't sure you were going to like it” He said.
“I love it. It's the thoughts that count” I reminded him.
“Yeah but I want to make everything perfect for you. I don't want you to lose who you were before the kids and I promise to be here to see to that” He promised.
He walked me to my seat. We sat beside each other. We started eating the meal for the night. We talked and talked and we did a lot of catching up.
“There was this one time Arielle didn't want to share and I tried telling her that but instead she pulled her brother and started holding him like a toy hitting him. I was stressed that day that I didn't even know what to do” I told Jake laughing as I moved my plate to the middle of the table when I finished.
“Oh gosh, Arielle is a lot to handle,” he said laughing.
“Tell me about it”
“Let’s get married,” He said.
“Huh?”
“I want us to get married, Maria” he repeated.
“You’re kidding right?” I cried.
“Over the past year Maria I can't imagine spending the rest of my life with you. I want to be the man by your side through all the phases of your life. Marry me please” He was already on one knee with a ring in a glowing box.
“Yes, Jake, I'll marry you,” I said lowering my hand. He put the ring on my finger and I stood up the same time he did to kiss him.
“Thank you for saying yes,” He said.
“You already did ask me before” I reminded him sniffling.
“Did I give it away?” He asked curiously.
“Not exactly," I clicked my tongue " but you're not exactly very good at surprises” I laughed.
“I knew you would figure it out” He groaned, embarrased
“But it was still very beautiful,” I told him.
“You think so?”
“It really was Jake. I love you, always and forever. Despite whatever we go through together as a couple we are going to overcome it” I assured him.
“As long as I have you by my side, always”.
We sat back down to finish our dessert for the night which was chocolate cake. I brought out my phone and made a video of my left hand. I posted it on my Instagram story but made sure I texted Joe immediately after so she doesn't query me for not telling her before the world.
Maria- I'm engaged!!
I dropped my phone. Few minutes later I got a new text so I checked it.
Joe- You’re kidding?!
Maria-No. He just proposed Joe
I typed back.
Joe- How? Tell me everything.
Maria- tomorrow
I sent an emoji and locked my phone so I could enjoy the rest of the night with Jake.
“Did Joe know about this?” I asked Jake.
“No. I planned this alone” He told me proudly.
“Jane knew about it though” I laughed.
“Yes,” He said.
“What is the dinner for tomorrow for?” I asked.
“To announce our engagement to our families,” He told me.
“Joe included”
“Definitely. She is family too” He confirmed for me.
“I love how much I love you,” I told him standing up to pack the plates when he stopped me.
“We will do that tomorrow. Tonight is for us” He told me.
“I can't believe you made me dress up,” I said walking inside the room.
“Hey! You love dressing up sometimes for no reason-” I cut him off.
“Except tonight there was a reason” I added for him quickly.
“With you, there is always a reason to be happy”
