9:13|Part 6

Jake

"What do you think Sophia and Sadie are up to?"
I ask my boyfriend as we were eating pizza and watching reality tv from my bed.
I had no idea where my roommate was.
Chosen shrugs as he blows on the pizza.
"I don't know.
Do you wanna invite them up here?"
He offers.
Jake shakes his head.
"No.
I think I'd rather spend time with you."
I lean my head on his shoulder with a smile.

We silently watch people on tv fighting and arguing.
"I have promise rings."
Chosen blurts out.
I lift my head to look at him.
"What?"
I ask, wondering if I had heard him right.
He sighs and puts his slice back in the box.
"I bought us promise rings.
There like a promise that we'll get married someday, but... I don't know, it sounds stupid when I say it out loud."
Chosen admits.
I hug him and kiss his cheek when suddenly, I got a crazy ass idea.
"You know what would be better than a promise ring?"

—

Gay marriage isn't legal In Williamstown, but it sure is legal in Santa Monica.
All we needed to do was go to a court house, as a judge to marry us, pay him, and then we fill out a marriage license.
"This is so scary, I'm literally shitting my pants now."
I confess after realizing how permanent this is and how wild my idea really was.
No, not wild.
Batshit crazy!

"Well it was your idea, Jake.
If you don't want to-"
"No, I really really want to."
I say.
I do wanna marry Chosen.
This isn't how I pictured it to be, but it's not like this is the actual wedding.
Ooo maybe we could have a wedding when we get back home.
Oh fuck, what is my mom gonna think?
"Well we're almost done.
Just sign the license and we'll be Mister and Mister Jillis."
It was his idea to combine our last names.
I actually really like it.
Jake Jillis.
It has a cute little ring to it, not like
Jake Jacobs.

I eye the pen in his hand and take it carefully as the judge was holding the marriage license on a clipboard. I eye the clock on the wall and see that it is nine thirteen.
I then write my signature and I'm officially married to the new Chosen Jillis.
"Congratulations to you both."
Jacob hugs me and I sigh with relief.
We're officially married.
"Okay now can we go buy me a ring?"
I say.
Chosen laughs before kissing me.
"Anything for my new husband."
This was the best day of my life.
