I looked in the kitchen and Jake was sleeping. I walked upstairs to go to the bathroom. Tessa POV I went and pushed Jake and he fell on the ground. Jake:fuck Tessa just shake me. Tessa:sorry. Jake:what do you want. Tessa:propose tomorrow. I showed Erika the ring and she said that she told you about this ring. Jake:ya she had been going through her moms jewelry when she found her moms engagement ring and said that if she was ever to get engaged she didn't want a ring like her moms she wanted this ring. She was 10 and I was 11. She said that, that ring made her happy. Then when we all moved into here she said that she now knows why she really wanted that ring was because it makes her feel like she would actually be loved one day and that the person giving it to her actually loved her. She also told me to tell her boyfriend when she was older that that's the ring she wanted but looks like she was the one telling him. Tessa:omg you remember that. Jake:would never forget it.
