The Love You Give

My Prerogative

"She sounds satisfied." Jackson chuckled as he sat on his couch beside Jace. "I want her to always be satisfied and if that means one of us between those heavenly thighs then so be it." Jackson laughed as he turned back to the television. "I think we should propose at graduation," Jace blurted out causing Jackson to snap his head back to him. "Come again?" Jace rubbed the back of his head nervously. "We already know this is forever. I just think we shouldn't wait. I know she won't want to get married right away or maybe she will, but I don't think we should waste time." Jackson sighed before turning down the volume on the television. "Jace, you can't propose to our girl out of fear. What happened last night wasn't our fault. I wish we could go back and never go to the party, but we can't. We have to deal with that trauma and move the fuck on from it." Jace let out a sigh. "We propose because we love her and because we're ready for that next step. No other reason." Jace nodded his head. "I'm down for a graduation proposal though. I think it'll be a pleasant surprise and we'll be surrounded by people who love and support us. It'd be perfect."

Jace smiled at his brother before watching the door open. Jacob walked in with the brightest smile on his face. "Isn't it a glorious afternoon gents?" Jackson rolled his eyes, while Jace laughed. "Hey, we're proposing to Ezra at graduation." Jace informed him as he plopped down beside him. "Cool." Jackson laughed at his immediate approval. "Where is she?" Jace asked him as he leaned back against the couch. "Taking a power nap. Said she needed the rest if she was going to turn up at the dance." Jace laughed at that before looking back at the television. "She's up for that? The dance?" Jackson asked worriedly and Jacob understood. "I was kind of shocked that she wanted to go too, but she said she didn't want to give those assholes anymore power over her and I support that shit. Our girl wants to get sexy for us and dance the night away then so be it." Jackson smiled as he thought of Ezra and her resilience.

"Do you two know what you're wearing to the dance?" Jackson asked getting up. "I'm pulling a page out of your book and rocking all black." Jace smirked. "Wait, I'm wearing all black." Jacob whined. "Ugh, you idiots! We're going to look like triplets." Jackson barked. "Well, we kind of are, so..." Jacob pointed out with a laugh. "Whatever," Jace and Jackson muttered. The three ended up working on some things before getting ready for the dance. Ezra woke up with two hours to spare and wrote her essay for UConn. They were all done with college applications and ready for the next chapter in their lives. She added her application to the pile on her desk before getting ready for the dance. She hoped the guys would like her dress. She just wanted to look beautiful for them and their eyes only.

"Ezra Austin Cole! Get your ass down here!" Jace barked as the boys waited for her at the foot of the stairs. They were already in a sour mood, because not only were they all wearing black, they were wearing variations of the same suit. "I think you three look handsome." Celeste cooed as she took more pictures of them. "You haven't dressed alike since you were five!" They all rolled their eyes at her causing Jansen to laugh. "Ezra!" They heard her door close. "I'm coming! I'm coming!" They stared transfixed at the beauty that was their girlfriend. Her legs looked longer in the sheer dress thanks to heels that Jace wanted her to keep on at the end of the night. "Wow. Princess, you look amazing." She smiled at him before pecking his lips. "You see why it's not good to rush people. The finish product wouldn't have looked like this." She said waving her hand over her face and body.

"You're a vision, sweetheart." Ezra smiled at him before pecking his lips. She turned to Jackson who let his hair down the way she liked it. She ran her hand through it and smiled widely. "You're so fucking beautiful, baby girl." Ezra hit his shoulder. "Language in front of the parentals." Jackson rolled his eyes before pulling her in for a kiss. "You kiddos have fun tonight!" Celeste smiled. "Boys, watch out for our baby angel." Jansen instructed receiving serious nods from all of them. They loaded up into Jace's car and made their way to school.
