We'll Be Together (Janthony)

~40~

Anthony's POV

Yeah... just ignore that they were really drunk and should have hangovers because this is the next day. Also ignore that they spent the night at different people's houses.

November 2

I woke up early the next day and threw my hair in a messy bun. I snuck out of bed and quietly ran to the kitchen, not bothering to change first. One thought was running through my head.

Pancakes.

I had planned on waking Jas up with breakfast. As I opened the bag of chocolate chips, my fingers slipped and they fell, spilling the sweets all over the floor. Nala bolted to my feet, ready for a pre-breakfast snack that would end with her getting her stomach pumped.

I snatched her up just as she reached the first chip, letting out a small sigh of relief.

"No no no shh shh." I whispered as Nala began to bark, attempting to squirm from my grip.

And that's how Jas found me, standing shirtless in a pile of chocolate chips, shushing our squirming dog like she was a child, with my hands covered in pancake mix.

Jas cleared her throat and I finally looked up to see her standing in the entrance to our room, trying to hide a smile.

"You need help?" She asked.

"Please." I answered meekly. Jas giggled and jogged over to grab Nala.

"Aww my little baby what did Ant do to you?" She said to our dog in a voice reserved for toddlers.

"I was trying to do something nice for our anniversary." I mumbled, washing my hands. I laughed loudly as Jas set Nala in the kitchen sink.

"Thank you Ant." She whispered before pecking me on the cheek.

"No problem." I responded. Smirking slightly, I splashed some water at my girlfriend.

"Oh you're gonna regret that Ramos." She warned. I grinned and turned away, choosing to ignore her threat. I picked up some of chocolate chips and went to the trash can before getting a face full of bubbles.

I wiped the soap from my face and washed it from my eyes while Jas bent over laughing, almost letting Nala jump out of the sink. I caught her before she hit the ground.

I wrapped my one free arm around her neck and kissed her passionately, not pulling away until Nala barked at us.

"Oh don't worry. Mommy loves you too." Jas cooed taking her from me.

We finished cleaning the kitchen and Jas helped me make pancakes. By the time we finished eating, it was a little past noon.

"I have the rest of the day planned out so go get dressed." I said to Jas as I set our dishes in the sink.

"Okay!" She answered almost immediately, clearly excited. She jogged into our room and emerged five minutes later wearing ripped jeans, one of my sweatshirts, and some converse.

"Every. Single. Time." I said, walking up to her. "Every time we go out, you wear one of my sweatshirts." Jas smiled innocently.

"They're comfy." She defended, placing her hands on my bare chest and shoving me lightly. "Now go change."

I grinned and turned around to get dressed, deciding on a some jeans, a plain red shirt, and a pair of sneakers. I opened my dresser drawer and pulled out a small black box.

One week earlier

"Don't you think this is a little early in you're relationship?" Steph asked as we stepped into the ring shop. I glared at her.
