It's Gonna Be My Year

Chapter 18

Joe's POV

"You're proposing!? To Sarah!?" She started squealing and jumping up and down.

"Calm down! Yes, I'm proposing. I love her and I really want to spend the rest of my life with her." This was all true. Suddenly, Kaitlyn stopped bouncing and she passed me the ring.

"When? Where? How? - I want to know everything!" She looked so excited and I couldn't help but laugh.

"Well actually, that's what I need help with. I have no idea how to propose! And I was wondering if you'd help me? I mean, you are technically a female- even though you're more manly than me most of the time!" I laughed. She slapped my arm and giggled.

"I would be honoured to help." She smiled, "But I need some pointers. Like, her interests? Is she a romantic or not? Things like that." I looked blankly at her.

"Erm..."

"You have no idea, do you?"

I shook my head. She suddenly gasped and drummed her hands on my bicep.

"I have the perfect idea!" She smiled and proceeded to tell me her plans.

Jamie's POV

I hugged Joe goodbye and headed back inside. We'd somehow passed an hour talking about the proposal. I was exhausted, so I grabbed a blanket from the downstairs closet and crashed on the couch.

"Kaitlyn? Where the fuck is she?" I awoke to the sound of footsteps above me and Jack grumbling to himself.

"Jack? I'm downstairs!" I yelled half-heartedly. I heard him jog down the stairs and stood up.

"Good morning, gorgeous!" Jack engulfed me in a hug and kissed the top of my head. I smiled into his chest.

"Why were you down here?" He rubbed small circles on my back as he spoke.

"Long story short- Joe's getting engaged. And we are going to help him." He gave me a puzzled look and I explained everything. From getting the text to the actual engagement plan. Jack was ridiculously excited.

"We need to invite people! Only close friends though. Like Sam and Ben, all my boys and their girlfriends and-"

"Calm down!" I interrupted, laughing.

"I need to start texting people!" He ran out of the room to get his phone. I walked into the kitchen and switched on the TV attached to the wall.

"Kerrang!, here we come!" I clicked through the channels until I found what I wanted. Teenagers by My Chemical Romance was on so I turned it up.

I sang along quietly, "Teenagers scare the living shit out of me! Huh- ironic seeing as I'm having a baby!"

I was starting to make breakfast when Jack came in, tapping away on his phone.

"Kaitlyn? Would you care to explain why I have almost a thousand Twitter notifications of my most embarrassing memories?"

With all the hype, I'd completely forgotten about my 'revenge' plan. Jack raised an eyebrow and stood with his hands on his hips. I picked up my camera and took a photo, he rolled his eyes.

"Well?"

"You fell asleep, I wanted revenge."

He placed the phone down on the kitchen counter and walked up to me, swaying his body a little. He stood towering over me.

"That was very cheeky, missy!" Jack smiled. I fell into his arms and he kissed my head.

"I love you." He smiled, "So much."

"I love you too, forever and always."

"Promise?" He held out his pinky finger. I wrapped my own finger around his.

"I promise." I giggled.
