Chapter 18 - Jake & Azalea
"Jacob!" Janet exclaimed when he arrived at her house. "Oh, you look so handsome with your outfit on! A true-blue American."
"Hi, ma."
"Jakey, my boy!" Jack said when he went down the stairs. He noticed a bulge in his jacket pocket, but he didn't think about it much.
"Um, Ma? Dad? Please. Sit down." Jake was trying to be on his best behavior. "Um..." he continued, "I have... um... something very important to ask. Um...,"
Azalea was getting anxious. "Yes?" she asked.
"Well, we have been together for a very long time. We started out as crushes and now we are inseparable." Jake smiled. "This is a very important day for me... and you! Of course! Well, I'm normally a very shy person, obviously, and I really want this moment to last."
Azalea knew that Jake was taking a very long time. But, Azalea was the most kindest, most patient person that he has ever known. Jake took out a black box. "So, that's what the bulge was," Jack said to himself. Azalea knew what was inside of it. She has seen so many movies before. Boy, was this romantic!
"Azalea?" Jake got on one knee and opened the box. "Will you marry me?"
"Yes!" she yelled and threw her arms around him.
Jake was nineteen. Azalea was eighteen. She knew everything there was to marriage. She read books and watched movies. This is the one thing that she always wanted. This, and a pony, but that was a long time ago when she wanted a pony. She was madly in love with Jake and now she had her whole lifetime, and his whole lifetime, to show it. Jake took out the ring and slipped it onto Azalea's finger. She lifted up her hand and stared at the diamond. Jake quickly looked at his mom and dad. His mom was getting teary- eyed. His dad never stopped smiling.
