say yes, say yes. || jitty.
Jake could rarely catch Kitty off guard.
It wasn’t really a bad thing, more-so just a fact about their relationship that they both admitted. Him grudgingly and her smugly. Yes, it didn’t matter the topic, if Jake planned something, Kitty was sure to be ten steps ahead with a response (often snarky) already prepared. But, he was sure she wasn’t expecting this.
They’d been together consistently for what seemed like forever. Sure, they’d had two breakups earlier on but the first had been due to immaturity on his part and how he went after Marley and then the second had been just a huge misunderstanding with how he coped with things regarding to his father. All in all, it made what they had now even more special and their bond stronger.
Kitty’s personality complimented his, contrary to popular belief. She was driven where he was lazy, smart where he was dumb, and she never let him stop believing in himself. Any doubts he had due to his upbringing and family situations were always dashed with her strong faith and love in him. When Kitty Wilde loved, she loved hard. He was living proof of that.
He wanted to marry her more than anything and the way he wanted to pop the question was a no-brainer. The only hard parts would be actually getting the ring and keeping it a complete surprise from the one person who had the ability to read him like a book. So, he kept quiet about it. He only approached Iris and Harley about it when they’d already been on a trip to a mall a town away and they’d roped him into driving them without any knowledge about his intentions to purchase a ring. They’d been pleasantly surprised, but willing to help him find a beautiful ring fit for Kitty. It had taken a while, but he’d finally found one that he felt fit what she deserved and with the money he’d been saving working after school for Harley & Heath’s Mom, he’d bought it. It had taken a few payments to get it all paid off, but it was worth it and his sisters kept his secret with cunning smiles.
Today was Kitty’s birthday and he’d asked her to meet him at the park, her iced coffee order in his hand and a medium sized white box sat atop his lap, holding the small cake he’d gotten her inside it. The cake was the proposal, a beautiful red velvet cake with cream cheese icing, dyed to look like chocolate to fool her into thinking it wasn’t her favorite. Despite the special occasion, he never missed an opportunity to be an asshole and surprise her times two. The cake stated in elegant font with hearts surrounding it, “Will you marry me?” and in the middle, a beautiful fondant heart had her engagement ring daintily placed on top of it.
Seeing Kitty making her way over from a distance, he grinned at the birthday girl and held up the iced coffee he’d gotten her so that she’d notice him. On the side of the cup it said Kit-Kat, and he suspected a smack on the head for that. It’d be worth it when she opened that box, though.
