Erika and I have been chilling for a while now.
*knock knock*
Right on time! I get off of the bed and walk to the door. I open it. Shannon walks in.
Shannon: I'm going to get my nails done because they're disgusting. Wanna join?
Erika: Uhh...
I nod to her.
Jake: As long as you're back before 5:30 it's fine babe
Erika: Okay let's go Shan!
Erika grabs her purse and stuff. She pecks me on the lips.
Erika: I love you
Jake: Love you too
She smiles and leaves with Shannon. The door shuts and I jump back onto the bed. I text Arie and tell him to come over. After a few minutes I hear a knock and Arie walks in holding the camera.
Jake: I'm gonna call and check up on everything.
Arie: I should roll?
I nod. I grab my phone and call Anthony. I put it on speaker.
Anthony: Hey bro
Jake: Hey, Erika's getting her nails done so I'm just checking up on everyone there.
Anthony: We are currently at the lounge waiting to get on the jet.
Jake: Great! Everyone is there?
Anthony: Yep
Jake: Olivia's Okay? Has she been fed?
Anthony: Yes dude everything's fine

Jake: Okay now we are changing locations, we've gotta go make sure everything is perfect! Let's go!
~ 4:30 ~
Erika's pov
I unlock the hotel room and Shannon and I walk in.
Erika: hmm no ones here.
I shut the door. Shannon sits on the couch. I put my purse down. I grab my phone and call Jake.
Jake: Hey
Erika: Hi where are you?
Jake: Arie and I just went to get a snack we will be back in a second.
Erika: oh okay

I put the box in my back pocket. Erika walks out of the bathroom.
Jake: Holy Shit babe! You look- Oh my god.
I walk over to her.
Erika: You look hot.
I smile and she smiles back.
Jake: I love you so freakin much.
Erika: I love you too.
She grabs her purse. I hold her hand and we walk out the door. We go down to the lobby where Shannon and Arie are waiting. They do a montage of us as we walk out the front and get in the Uber.
~
Jake: Okay Guys roll.
Shannon starts recording from the front seat and Arie records from the back.
Jake: Arie Do you have it?
Arie gets the blindfold from his back pocket. I take it and pass it to Erika. She looks at me nervously.
Jake: Do you trust me?
Erika: Obviously
I nod and she puts it on.
Jake: Okay let's go!
I take Erika's seatbelt off. I open the door and climb out over top of her. I grab her hand and she steps out of the car. She pulls her dress down. Shannon and Arie get out.
Jake: Thanks Man!
I shut the door. I hold Erika's hand. I take a deep breath. We walk down the long path.
Erika: Where are we going?
Jake: To a restaurant
Erika: Well Why is it a secret?!
Jake: You'll see
We finally make it to the outside of the restaurant. It was private with a water feature and grass around. I had set it up earlier with a path of white roses since their Erika's fav and candles. Cheesy I know.
I undo Erika's blindfold when we are at the end. Erika looks around.
Erika: What the f*ck Jake!
She playfully hits me.
Jake: Erika Costell, *high voice* I'm Erika Costell. *coughs* Sorry about that. Okay anyway... I just want you to know that I love you so freakin much. You mean the absolute world and more to me. *sniffs* Im just gonna get to the point before we both start crying. *laughs*
Erika smiles as a tear falls from her eye.
Jake: I love you and I know I want to spend the rest of my life with you. But before I can ask you a very important question. I need to commit to someone else that means the world to me.
Anthony walks from behind Erika holding Olivia. He passes Olivia to Erika.
Erika: Wtf Tony?! *crying*
He smiles and steps away.
Jake: So... you two mean so much to me. Olivia, I promise that I will always be here for you. I love you to the moon and back.
I kiss her cheek. I pull out the small tiny ring from my pocket. I slip the tiny ring onto her right hand ring finger.
Jake: Gotta save the left hand for someone special, as long as you're over 30.
Erika wipes her eyes. Anthony walks back over. He takes Olivia from Erika.
Jake: Erika Costell.
I get down on one knee. She cries harder. I get the box from my back pocket and open it.
Jake: Will you be my wife?
Erika covers her mouth and cries harder. She nods. I stand up and pull her into my chest. She hugs me so tight. I get the ring out of the box. She puts her finger out and I slip it on.
Erika: Oh my god Jake its so beautiful.
She puts her arms around my neck. I pull her in and kiss her. Half way through what was going to be a long passionate kiss... Erika's family, My family and our friends burst out of the restaurants front door. I pull back. Erika's mouth drops. We are immediately swarmed by people.
Erika: What the f*ck Jake!
Erika greets everyone as do I, everyone says congratulations. I pull Erika into my chest and kiss her cheek. I wipe away all her tears.
Erika: You did good Paul
I smirk.
Jake: Our anniversary will be 08.08.18 and an 8 is the infinity sign upwards... and infinity means eternity... and we are eternity.
Erika: Aww Babe!
She pecks me on the lips. Anthony passes Olivia to Me. I kiss her cheek and she laughs.
Jake: Let's go eat!
Everyone starts walking into the restaurant. I hold Erika's hand while we walk in. It was set up beautifully for everyone.
(List of people there:
Anthony, Rocky, Pam, Angel, Dan, Dani, Morgan, Jc, Micheline (Erika's grandma), Logan, Chloe, Zach, Chad, Sara, Justin, Sunny, Gio, Cortney, Justice, Adan, Kade, Mackenzie, Trav, Corey, Tydus, Ryatt, Kyler, Madison, Taytum, Oakley, George, Mark & Kylie.)
There was two long tables. Erika and I sit at the end of one. I move a high chair next to us and we sit down. Erika puts Olivia in the high chair next to her. She holds my hand and lays on my shoulder.
Erika: I'm so happy
Jake: I am too
Erika: It's so beautiful
Jake: A beautiful ring for a beautiful girl. Fun fact this ring has been through a lot. I designed it but kept changing it and I finally decided it was perfect.
Erika: It is perfect
She kisses me.
Erika's pov
Olivia starts fussing so I get her out of the high chair and lay her on my chest. Jake sits down beside me.
Erika: You know now it's gonna be so much harder to let you go to the uk.
Jake: I know
He puts his arm around me and kisses my forehead. We talk to everyone for a while longer until it's 12 am and we had to leave the restaurant. Olivia is sleeping on my chest. We walk out of the restaurant to the car park.
Jake: We are going in the suburban.
I nod. He holds my hand. We say goodbye to everyone and walk over to the car. The driver gets out.
Jim: Hello
Jake: Hi
He opens the side door. I carefully lay Olivia in it and buckle her up. I shut the door. Jake and I walk around the other side and get in.
~
I climb into bed next to Jake. I cuddle up to him.
Erika: Thank you Jake. This was one of the best days of my life and I truly will never forget it.
Jake: I love you
