DISCLAIMER: Meg Cabot owns all! But I own the plot.

Thanks for the reviews, ya'll rock my socks. Here's chapter 2, in Jesse's POV.

Jesse's POV

"Knock, knock! Were comin in!" Susannah announced as she opened the door to her parent's house. She had to do it with one hand because I was still holding the other. We walked into thier living room where Suzsannah's parents and her youngest step-brother, David, were sitting. David was a Senior in High School now, so he was still at the house(A/N: I might be wrong here, but just play along ;).).

"Hey, Suzie!" Her Mother said. "What are you two doing here? I thought you had a date tonight."

Susannah, or should I say my Fiance,Glanced up at me briefly with her emerald eyes, making my heart beat quicken slightly, before looking back at her family. Holding up her ring finger, she said. "Were engaged!"

At this point, Max started barking wildly. Oh, it wasn't because of Susannah's announcement. It was because her Mother let out a shriek of excitement loud enough to deafen any dog within a hundred mile radius of the house. She jumped off the couch, came over, and proceded to squeeze the life out of Mi Quierda, saying things like 'Oh my God! I'm so happy for you!' and a some more that I could not interpret. Not only was she crying tears of joy, she was speaking too fast for me to comprehend a word. Did I mention where Suzannah picked up that skill of speed talking?

Her Step-Father, Andy came over to me, shaking my hand in a firm grip as he said, with a small smirk. "It's about time you proposed, Jesse."

"Wait, you guys knew?" Susannah asked, over hearing Andy.

"Well of course, Quierda. I had to ask permission first." I told her, just before my future Mother in law said.

"You asked permission from Andy a month ago!"I could feel my cheeks darken slightly. An awkward silence ensued. I just kept waiting for the right time, and tonight seemed perfect. Hopefully this wouldn't be mentioned again. Well, the topic was at least changed when David gave us his congratalations.

The evening went on with small talk and coffee. But then the conversation shifted.

"So, when were you guys planning on having the wedding?" Her Mother asked.

Susannah, who was leaning on me with my arm draped on her shoulder, said. "Mom, don't you think it's a little early for that? I mean, we just got engaged tonight."

"I know, I know." She said. "But you always told me you wanted a June wedding. Which would only give us 7 months to plan for the wedding. I mean, unless you guys want to wait for another year."

Waiting another year would be the logical thing to do, since Susannah is still in college. But I simply can't wait that long. I've been in love with her for... too long. But why would we need more than 7 months to plan for a wedding? I figured I would ask Susannah later, considering I would get the oddest looks from her parents if I said something along the lines of 'Well, back in the 1800's, it only took about a month to plan for a wedding.' I can't see that happening anytime soon...

About a half hour later, we left so I could take Susannah back to her Dorm, since she had finals to study for before winter vacation. In the car, when we hit a red light,I asked her.

"Quierda, why wouldyour Motherwe need more than 7 months to plan for a wedding?" Susannah looked over at me.

"She just thinks I want a big wedding, but I'm going to tell her no. We should just have close friends and family anyway, right?" She asked.

"Right." I agreed, as the light turned green.
