Sage's P.O.V

'Kick your ball at me one more time and I swear to god I'll pop it' I warned Jack as we walked down the street with the boys towards the store.

Jack had insisted that he would only come to the store with us if he could take the football with him and for the sole purpose of keeping what appeared to be a six year old happy, we had agreed. Turned out for me, that wasn't such a smart idea.

'Oh you want the ball?' He quirked an eyebrow and kicked the ball in my direction hitting me in the arm.

'JACK!' I shouted letting the ball bounce away from me as I ran towards Kyle for protection.

We headed into the store and almost in unison all the boys put their heads down and hats on. I laughed at them as they did their best to stay hidden from the public eye. We wondered down the numerous aisles looking at what we needed for this party tonight.

'What about party poppers?' Phil suggested and I watched as Jack throw  his head back in annoyance.

'You cleaning it up in the morning?' He retaliated with a raised eyebrow causing me to giggle.

'When did you become such a house wife?' Kyle laughed, picking up the poppers and banners and throwing them into the cart.

'When he bought that ring' Mason blurted out and everyone stopped dead in their tracks.
I looked around at everyone as their eyes widened.

'What ring?' I asked, watching as they shifted awkwardly on their feet.

'Nice one bell end' Jack huffed at Mason as he grabbed ahold of my hand and walked us out of the store. I watched as he moved forewords dodging the people heading in our direction.

'Jack' he was ignoring me as he marched forwards onto the grass area in the middle of town. I huffed and yanked my hand away from his looking away into the distance.

'What fucking ring Jack?' I shouted, eventually having enough of the silence he was creating. Again he said nothing, I turned around saw him on his knee, a silver ring glistening up at me as it sat delicately in a velvet box.

'J-Jack' I stuttered as my hand flung itself to my mouth in shock 'what are you doing?' My eyes filled with tears and my eyes blurred. I blinked a few times in an attempt to clear my vision, the tears moving from my eyes to my cheeks.

'Sage' he smiled and I sobbed 'I don't want to do this life thing without you, I don't want to play football and not have you there, I don't want to do any of it without you by my side' he paused and took a breath the tears rolling rapidly down my face. I looked to my left to see everyone else stood at the far end of the grass bank, smiling at us.

'I only want you. Forever. So, I was wondering if yo-'

'YES!' I screamed throwing myself at Jack as we tumbled to the ground. He chuckled and wrapped his arms around my waist, nestling his head into my neck and kissing it.
The others came running over to us a piled on all congratulating us with smiles and laughs.

Jack slid the ring onto my finger and I cried again, watching as it shone up at me. Jack still had his hands on my waist as we stood, his forehead pressed up against mine, noses touching as he both cried and laughed at the same time.

'I love you Jack Grealish' I smiled up at him and pecked a kiss to his lips.

'And I love you, future Sage Grealish' he replied, adding another kiss to my lips and I blushed at the name he called me.

Kyle wondered over and popped one of his stupid party poppers over us. I couldn't help the ugly laugh that escaped my mouth at his actions as I looked at his smug face.

'Now come on! We have an engagement party to set up!' He shouted and I looked at Jack in shock, smacking his chest as he chuckled at me.

'Celebrating the euros final my arse' he said to me with a grin and I rolled my eyes, jumping onto Jacks back we headed back to his place.

'To Jack and Sage, pair of fuckers!' John stones cheered from on top of the kitchen counter and we all raised our glasses.

The atmosphere around Jacks house was electric, there were people everywhere you looked, the music was pumping and the drinks were flowing just the way I liked it.
Jack had his arms wrapped around my waist from behind and his head resting on top of mine as we swayed along to the music with everyone.

'I can't believe you did this' I smiled holding up my hand to look at my ring, the lights hit it and it glistened again.

'Neither can I' he chuckled and I smiled to myself placing my hands back over his which were still firmly placed around my waist.

We spent the rest of the evening drinking with everyone and chatting. Jack had somehow managed to get himself on top of the kitchen counter with Kyle and Phil whilst Megan and I were watching from the living room, smiles firmly sat on both of our faces.

'So, I'm head brides maid right?' Megan asked in her drunken state, nearly poring half her drink down herself as she danced.

'Oh who else?' I responded with a smirk holding onto her hands in an attempt to steady her.

I watched on as Jack chugged a bottle of champagne down his neck, screaming the lyrics to sweet Caroline at the top of his lungs. I couldn't help the smile that plastered itself across my face at the sight of his dance moves. I walked over to him and climbed up on the counter too with him, holding onto his shoulders he latched onto my waist as I danced with him.
We swayed along to the music, smiles on both of our faces as we laughed and enjoyed each other's company.
It got towards 3am and everybody started to leave. Once the house was cleared of all the guests I wondered into the living room to see Phil, Kyle John all passed out on the sofa, spreading a blanket across them I watched as they snored their heads off in unison.

'Idiots' Jack chuckled, appearing from behind me and wrapping his arms around my waist, pressing a kiss to my cheek as he snuggled up to me.

'Come on you' I smiled, taking ahold of his hand and walking us up to the bedroom, I closed the door, removed my clothes slipping into one of Jacks shirts.

'Mmmm sexyyy' Jack slurred his words as he got his own clothes off and slipped into bed in just his boxers. 'I would' he added as I climbed into bed, resting on his chest with his arm coming around my waist to bring me closer.

'You have' I smirked, looking up from my position on Jacks chest I looked at him to see he had already fallen asleep, lips slightly parted and eyes closed gently, I smiled to myself and fell asleep to the sound of his raspy breaths.
