wringing jack wright ...

"hello?" jack spoke on the other side of the phone.
"yo jack, wanna help me make a poster?" i asked him as i stood in my room, staring at the supplies on my bed.
"yeah, what for?" he questioned.
".. alex," i replied.
"what do you mean alex?" jack wondere, thinking i was talking about my roomate alex.
"chase alex, " i told him so he could understand

"OHHHHH," he spoke, "but what are you making?" he wondered.
"i'm sort of.. asking her out.." i told him as i smiled to myself.

he gasped, "COMING!" he exclaimed before hanging up. i could hear the noise of footsteps running towards my door.
my door then opened and jack walked inside my room.

"sooooo, what are we making?" he asked and i laughed.
"well, umm.. i was thinking to make a poster saying will you be my girlfriend, and then making her a bouquet of flowers that i saw on tiktok, and then .. something else but i don't know yet." i explained to him as i scratched my head, unsure if my idea was good enough.

"oh, that's a good idea actually. did you come up with that?" he asked and i nodded, "i wouldn't have thought," he shook his head and i smiled.
"yeah," i chuckled.
"so you're gonna make your own bouquet for her??" he questioned.

"mhm." i nodded.
"you know how to make one?" he asked.
"uhmm.. no.. but i'll try.." i shrugged and he nodded.

"when are you planning to ask?" he asked me.
"today," i looked at him and he raised his eyebrows.
"oh- i don't know why i thought it was gonna be like tomorrow or something.." he let out a laugh, "but anyways, what part do you need help with?"

".. umm so.. i woke up late- at like one, i got out of bed ar two thirty, went to the store at three, and i just got back now.. so .. i don't have much time because i wanna be there before eight." i explained to him.
"i don't know why that story was necessary, but okay!" he exclaimed before walking over to my bed. i shook my head.

he took the poster board and set it down on the floor, along with the pack of markers that i bought. i went and sat in front of him. we then started working on it.

i drew out the letters while jack got carried away and drew a bunch of hearts in the corner in pink and red. that wasn't really my idea, but it works.

i sketched out the letters and then jack helped me fill them in. it took me a while to sketch them out because i was trying not to mess up. i was using a black marker instead of a pencil so if i made a mistake, i couldn't just erase it.

it took me a good twenty minutes to do all the letters.
jack was telling me to hurry up, stressing me out while he did so. i messed up on the 'R' in girlfriend, but once we go over with marker and color them in, it'll be fine.

as we got to the last word, i checked the time. it was almost five, ill have to leave the house soon, and i still need to write a card, make the flowers, and go to the store again to buy her a drink and snacks or something.

"okay, you finish that, i'm going to get the flowers." i told jack before i left to get the flowers i bought and the material too.

i saw this girl do it on tiktok, but her video wasn't very clear, so i couldn't understand.
i was struggling to make this bouquet..
it was so hard, i was about to give up.

"vinnie.. what are you doing.." kouvr asked me as she came into the kitchen where i was with jack trying to make the bouquet.
"i'm trying to make a bouquet of flowers.." i looked at her. she looked at me, then at the flowers and the paper i had. she laughed.
