They sat through the starter and Sherry noticed that Jake seamed tense but she didn't ask him what was up. On the other hand Jake sat there thinking about the way sherry had told him she would like to find out what he was thinking about in the car when they went to the office. Sherry watched the waiter come and whisper something to Jake and he just nodded as if he already knew what the man was going to say.
Just before the main course was brought out to them Jake got up from his seat and rounded the table and then knelt down next to
Sherry's chair and she instantly knew what he was going to do and she turned in her chair to face him as he pulled out a small red velvet box out of his pocket; almost dropping it in the process being the clumsy idiot she loved, and cleared his throat opened the small red box and began to recite the words he was just going over in his head just moments ago. "Sherry, will you marry me?" Jake said nervously.
"Yes" Sherry replied almost instantly. Jake then placed the ring on her finger and gave her a long loving kiss and then sat back in his chair and smiled to himself.
After dessert Jake took Sherry's hand and took her to the car. "Jake I maybe pregnant but I'm not an invalid yet." Sherry said.
"I know, but I thought it was a nice gesture." Jake replied solemnly.
"Thank you anyway" Sherry said followed by a kiss.
As Jake drove home Sherry admired her engagement ring in awe; she went to turn to talk to Jake but she was speechless and failed to make any sort of conversation. Jake pulled up at the apartment and literally ran round the car before Sherry got out and walked her to the flat. "Sherry you know the other day you said you wanted to know what was on my mind." Jake said out of the blue.
"Yeah, why what's this about Jake?" she replied.
"Do you still want to know?" Jake asked.
"I suppose I do."
"Well I was thinking how pretty you are, how much I would like to be with you for the rest of my like and maybe have a family with you." Sherry smiled in delight at what he just said. "What" Jake demanded?
"Nothing I think it is sweet, I was also thinking of something then too but it isn't as nice as what you were thinking." Sherry admitted.
"What were you thinking?" Jake questioned.
"I was thinking of all the different things you could have said at the thought of having children. Admittedly I was scared of what you would say." She said tearfully.
"Why were you scared?" Jake asked.
"Because I never know how you are going to react to things, especially thing that concern you and settling down with anyone." She said shakily.
"Well I guess I surprised you then."
"Yeah you did but as soon as you knelt next to me I knew what you were doing and I instantly knew the answer." She said. They got to the door just as Sherry shivered.
"Are you okay?" Jake asked concerned.
"Yeah I'm okay I'm just cold." She replied with a smile.
As soon as they got in the flat Jake was rushing about all over the place while Sherry just sat and watched. Sherry decided to put some music on and she knew the perfect song I love you by Avril Lavigne. She knew that as soon as she put the song on she would get lost in the song
"I like your smile
I like your vibe
I like your style
But that's not why I love you
And I, I like the way
You're such a star
But that's not why I love you" Jake noticed that she was singing away again and took a short break from what he was doing, and got a beer out of the fridge, and sat at the breakfast bar and watched her sing her heart out; it was one of his favorite things to do with his time. There was only one problem she didn't like to sing in front of people and the only way for him to watch her was to be really silent, as much as he wanted to join in the singing. "You're so beautiful
But that's not why I love you
I'm not sure you know
That the reason I love you is you
Being you
Just you
Yeah the reason I love you is all that we've been through
And that's why I love you" Jake smiled at these lines because they are what he thought of her. "La la la (That's why I love you)" as Sherry finished she noticed that Jake was staring at her, she instantly started to blush and then Jake smiled that smile that instantly made her heart skip beats and she then blushed some more.
