I dont own Crazy Stupid Love.
Jacob and Hannah had been together almost a year, they lived together and things were so happy and in love. Things were going really well.
Cal had come around around and he and Jacob were friends again, their friendship had changed from party guys picking up women to a mutual respect between a girlfriend's father and the man the daughter was head over heels in love with. Cal and Emily were back together and happier than ever, after realizing how much they'd nearly lost.
Jacob had called Cal and asked him to get a drink with him at the bar neither of them had set foot in since the two red head loves of their lives had come into and back into their lives.
Cal walked in and found Jacob sitting at his old spot, sipping on an old fashioned. Cal smiled at the familiar sight.
"I feel like Ive stepped into a time machine" Cal joked as he sat down next to him.
Jacob smiled back at him "Yeah it's been a long time" Jacob said looking around. "Hard to believe this used to be my life"
"We're not here for you to tell me you're going back to this life are you? Because I will kill you, I was never joking about that" Cal said staring at him seriously.
Jacob looked at him and Cal burst out laughing. "I'm just messing with you"
"What you said...about going back to this life" Jacob said gesturing around at the bar crowd "couldnt be further from what I want"
"I know" Cal said reassuring him that he believed him.
Jacob reached into his pocket and set a tiny blue velvet box on the bar in front of Cal.
"Wow" Cal said. "Is that what I think it is?" he asked looking at Jacob.
Jacob nodded "You know I love your daughter. I love her so much" he said honestly. "I want to spend the rest of my life with her and I wanted to know if I could have your blessing to ask her to marry me" Jacob said taking a deep breath, bracing himself for possible rejection. He knew Cal might think it was too soon, that he hadnt proven himself worthy or that he could never be good enough to marry Hannah.
Cal stared at him "Youre nervous" he grinned, enjoying this.
"Yeah, like having trouble breathing nervous" Jacob admitted.
Cal laughed, clearly amused.
"I could use a little support here Cal" Jacob said unamused.
"I'm sorry, it's just surprising to see the always cool Jacob a total mess"
"Thank you, thats very sweet of you" Jacob said saracstically.
Cal opened the box and stared at the beautiful ring, it was princess cut with diamonds all around the band.
"It's beautiful, Hannah's going to love it" he told him.
Jacob stared at him "Does this mean I can ask her?" Jacob asked nervously.
Cal stared at him seriously before answering. "Congratulations...son" Cal said reaching his hand out to him.
Jacob shook his hand "God that was weird" Cal said
"Big time" Jacob agreed laughing.
"Maybe we'll skip the whole dad thing" Cal said.
"I think thats best" Jacob agreed.
"Would you show Emily the ring? She's going to go crazy when she finds out about this" Cal asked.
"You can take it and show her as long as you keep it quiet and also bring it back to me. I dont want to hear any concocted stories about it getting lost or stolen to keep me from proposing to your daughter" Jacob teased.
"Hey come on now I've been on your side Almost from the start" he said emphasizing almost since he was totally against them as a couple at first.
"I'm glad you gave me a chance" Jacob said.
"Yeah yeah we're getting way too sappy here, let's have those drinks and celebrate" Cal said as he patted him on the shoulder affectionately. "And dont be nervous, youve got this" he assured him.
Cal went home and found Emily in bed reading. "Hey hon, did you and Jacob have fun?" she asked smiling.
"Yeah we did, and Ive got a big surprise for you" he said.
"Oooh what?" she asked sitting up curiously.
"First you have to promise you wont tell anyone"
"I promise, tell me!" she said dying of curiousity.
"Jacob asked me for permission to propose to Hannah" he told her.
She jumped up and squealed "Oh my god" she threw her arms around him knocking him over on the bed.
"Easy honey, its Hannah getting engaged not you" he laughed.
"I'm so excited for her, oh my god I dont think she has a clue it's coming" she said excitedly.
"Yeah I didnt either when he told me, but there it is" he said taking the ring out of his pocket.
Emily practically snatched it out of his hand. "It's so beautiful" she stared at it in awe. "When's he
going to do it? How's he going to do it?" she asked, her mind going a mile a minute.
"I dont know anything else, remember honey you have to keep it a secret, dont let Hannah know
anything"
"God I hope it's soon, I'm going to be ready to burst with excitement until she tells me its happened"
