Wrong Number// Jack Avery

Permission

*Jack's POV*
Me and Layla has been through so much. However, she's the one I want to spend the rest of my life with. I just need permission to ask her to marry me. Layla is asleep so I'm going to get Andy's number and text him. I reach over and grab her phone, she stirs but doesn't ask up. I quickly go to her contacts and get his number.
Texts
Jack: hey man, it's Jack, Layla's boyfriend. Can you meet me at the grove in an hour?
Andy: for sure man. See you in an hour.
Jack: thanks dude.
I get up and quickly get ready trying not to wake Layla up. I write a note for the boys knowing they would get up before her, then I grab my phone and keys before heading out the door.

I get to the grove and spot Andy. "Hey man" I say "hey, did you need something?" He asks "well, since you are now Layla's brother, I wanted to ask for your permission to marry her." I say nervously. "Of course man! I see how happy she is when she's with you. I may have just found her but I can tell she's extremely happy around you. So yes you have my permission." He says with a smile "thanks man! Quick question though" I say smiling "what is it?" He asks "I need help finding a ring" I say with a hopeful look. "I'll help you! Let's go to the jewelry store" he says before heading in "thanks man. I appreciate it." I say before following him.

We got to the jewelry store and we start looking for the perfect ring. "What about this one?" Andy asks "it's a little small don't you think?" I answer "oh so you wanna go big?" He laughs "of course I do. She deserves the best." I smile "that she does." He replies. We keep looking some more and I think I found the perfect one. "What about this one?" I ask Andy "it's perfect man" he says "I'll take this one in a 7.5" I say to the employee. He gets the ring in the right size and puts it in a bag. "That'll be $6,700" the man says. I hand him the money and take the bag, walking out with Andy "thanks for the help." I say to Andy "anything for you guys. I'm invited to the wedding right?" He asks adding a wink at the end. "Of course you are." I laugh. "I'll see you later." I say again "bye" he says before walking off. I smile to myself before heading to the car.

*30 minutes later*
I got back to the house and went to hid the ring. On my way up the stairs I ran into Jonah. "Sorry dude" I laugh "Where did you go?" He asks curiously. "Come in the bedroom and I'll tell you" I say dragging him into a random room with no one in it. "I'm going to ask Layla to marry me." I said quietly "seriously!?" He yells "shhh I asked Andy for his blessing and he said yes and helped me pick out the ring" I whispered "I wanna see" he said quietly. I smile at him before taking it out of the box "holy shit. How much was this" he asks "it was almost $7,000" I say laughing "wow okay. I hope she says yes then" he laughs "me and you both" I laugh before walking out of the room.
"Hey Layla, wanna go on a date tonight?" I ask when I reach her. "Of course. What time?" She asks "6. Dress fancy" I say walking out of the room. I've been wanting to do this for a while so I had reservations at some fancy restaurant.
