I'll Be Back...

~29~

'Katie's P.O.V'

"Happy birthday too Katie, Happy birthday too you." I heard, waking me up from my slumber. 

My eyes slowly peeled open and I turned my head to be met with his bright hazel orbs. I sat up slightly and noticed Jai had a tray on his legs filled with a huge stack of pancakes and syrup drizzled all over them. A cold glass of orange juice was placed next to it along with a bright pink envelope. 

I sent Jai a bright smile and lent over to his lips and connected them with mine. 

"You didn't have to do this." I gushed to him.

"I know I didn't but I wanted to." He smiled, brushing the stray strands of hair away from my face. 

He passed me the tray and I immediately dug into my pancakes occasionally feeding Jai a forkful of the delicious food. I hummed in delight as the syrup danced on my tongue. Jai chuckled at me and stood up. 

"Where are you going?" I asked him, devouring my last pancake. 

"I'll be back in a second, don't miss me too much." He smirked and walked out of our bedroom in his Calvin Klein boxers. 

It's been 3 years since I decided to stay in LA and me and Jai were still going strong. We decided to move into our own little house so we had our own privacy. Tessa and Beau are still together as well and as soon as I mentioned I was going to move out of the apartment, Beau sprung at the chance to move in with Tessa. Cute. As soon as Jai spoke to me about getting our own place I wanted it to happen straight away. We began house hunting as soon as possible and found our perfect house which we currently live in. I got my job at the hairdressers I wanted which was amazing so it helped pay for the house and of course Jai continued doing Janoskian stuff so that's how he brought in some money. The whole house itself is beautiful but the main feature to me is our bedroom. It has a fluffy white carpet covering the floor and a large kingsize bed placed against the wall facing a huge glass window. It has a large en suite bathroom with a huge bathtub in the centre. 

Soon enough, Jai returned with a small gift bag in his hand. 

"Open your card." He prompted me and perched next to me on our plush bed. 

I grabbed the card from the tray and ripped open the envelope. I read the inside with a smile on my face. 

'To my beautiful princess,

Happy 23rd birthday you old bitch. These past 4 years of knowing you have been the best years of my life. I want to thank you for everything you have done for me but I can only do so much of that at once. So there is just one thing I need to ask you...

Love from the most kind, caring, handsome, courageous (I could go on all day) man you have ever met, 

Jai xxx'

"Jai, that's so sweet but what do y-" I turned my head to the left and noticed Jai on one knee on the carpet. He held a small black leather box in his hand and he looked deeply into my eyes. 

"Choosing to take you out on our first date, preventing you from falling on the floor in that nightclub we met up in, doing my usual Saturday morning shift in Milllie's getting to serve you are just some of the best decisions I made when meeting you. I hope I can continue making many more memories with you and what better way to do that if I could call you my Wife. So, Katie Isabella Sharples, will you do me the massive honour of marrying me?" Jai softly spoke. 

If you told me when I was 15, cooped up in my bedroom with my eyes glued to my laptop that one day on your birthday Jai Brooks will propose to me, I probably would have told you to fuck off and cried about it as it would never happen. If I never finally persuaded my mum on letting me travel to LA for the first time this moment would have never happened. If I wasn't hungry that Saturday morning after arriving in LA this moment would have never happened. If Jai didn't come to England and see me this moment probably would have never happened.
