It all started in Dallas

You and Sid got home pretty late from the party, you ended up crashin at your place since you’d have to get up early to decorate the house for your guys party. It was more of a casual party yet you guys were gonna clean up a bit as well. When you woke up Sid was sound asleep beside you, you checked your phone to see that it was 10am, you quietly got up and went to shower. When you got out, Sid was still asleep so you went downstairs to start decoratin the place. Jake was nowhere to be found so you assumed he was sleepin too. You went straight into the kitchen to feed your dog and then to work on some pastries that you were makin, once you popped them in the oven, you made yourself a protein shake and headed on to the garage to get everythin out. You then turned on the radio to a low volume but loud enough for you to hear across the livin room. Little by little but quickly everythin inside the house was set up. You then headed on to the backyard where everythin needed a bit more decoration, you definitely were lookin forward to it as you enjoyed doin these kinds of things. You set up the patio to a more open section and placed more tables, some for sittin and the others to put food on. You were workin on movin the string lights around and placin decorations on the patio roof and across the lawn. You were up on the ladder when you heard Sid come outside.
“Well good mornin sunshine” you teased
“How in the world do you have everything set up so fast?” he asked shockingly as he looked around at the patio.
“I already had a plan in mind so that helps, want some breakfast?”
“I can make it myself so you can finish what you were doing, thank you though”
“Sidney, I’m already done, plus I have to get the pastries out of the oven” you said as you saw that it had been time to take them out.
You guys headed inside as Sid was amazed by all the stuff you had done in a small amount of time.
“It smells amazing in here honey” Sid said as he smelled food that came out of the kitchen. You cooked his breakfast as you worked on the frostin for the pastries and worked on makin apple pie as well. Once you served Sid his plate, you continued baking around the kitchen and then doin the dishes.
“You really are Wonder Woman” Sid said with his mouth full of food, “this is so fuckin delicious”
“Thanks Sidney” you beamed

As Sid showered you were finishin tidyin up the place when Jake arrived home. You thought this whole time that he was in his room.
“Well I thought I’d never see you again” you joked at Jake
“Haha did you get lucky with Sid though?”
“Are you kiddin me? We knocked out cold as soon as we got home, PLUS looks like I’m the one that had to do all the settin up around here” you said
“I owe you BIG time (Y/N)” he said as he gave you a hug
“You sure do, however I’m glad Leila’s not here so we can talk about how you’re goin to ask her” you said excitingly
You motioned Jake to sit on the chair next to Sid so you guys can catch up on what the plan will be for Jake proposin.
You and Jake went back and forth on some ideas, how not to look suspicious and where exactly he should ask her in the backyard to get the best pictures, even what time would be best to ask her. Sid would just stare and nod here and there as he enjoyed his breakfast.
“My Jake, I know however you decide to do it, Leila’s goin to love this surprise” you said as you couldn’t believe today was the day your best friend life was goin to change for better, “shoot you can propose to her at Starbucks and she’ll still say yes” you joked
“That’s if she says yes (Y/N)” Jake said nervously
“No no no, Jake you’re sellin yourself short, any girl would be lucky to have you in their life, Leila was smart enough to realize that and I know that she’s a great girl too” you encouraged him
“Plus, please don’t lose my invitation to the weddin, I really want to stuff my face with food”
“So that’s why you want to go then?” he asked as he put his hand to his mouth dramatically
“Well yea, the food should be delicious” you chuckled
“(Y/N), you know you’re gonna be my ‘best man’ right?” he asked more seriously
“Anythin you want, I’ll be there for you Jake” you replied
“So earth to Sid, do you have any ideas on how I can pop the question?” Jake asked
“Hmmmm I don’t know to be honest, I think something simple but personal would be best” he said slowly, “plus how would I know, I’m not thinking about doing that anytime soon or at all” he said but then looked at you in regret
What the hell does that mean?
“Anyways, Jake, we should come up with a code word to know when you’re goin to do it” you continued as if nothin happened
“Let’s see…..cupcakes?”
“Are there more cupcakes?” you asked
“That’s perfect”

As Sid showered, you were doin your makeup, you went for a natural look but with more sophistication as you wanted to look better than causal for the proposal. You wore a sundress that had the long tail on the back but was short in the front, you went for loose waves for you hair. Jake got ready and then went out to pick up Leila, when it started gettin around the evenin time, people started comin by, whether it was Sid’s friends, family, or your friends from work. You were busy makin everyone feel at home but somehow what Sid had said stuck in the back of your mind what did he mean by he wasn’t thinkin about proposin anytime soon or at all. Is he even takin me seriously then or is he just goin to use me for fun
Everyone seemed to be havin a great time as the settin was more relaxin than yesterday’s event. You were drinkin beer as you were havin a nice conversation with you and your friends.
“I’ve never seen these many cops since like the parade a few years ago” Phil said to Sid
“Right, and we’re surrounded by a bunch right now, eh”
“What’s up with you and (Y/N)?, you guys seem a bit off”
Sid explained to what he said durin breakfast which cause Phil to smack him in the back of the head
“Dude, she’s perfect for you, she’s badass, shit most of the guys from the NHL that have met her kept saying how they’d do anything for her” Phil said, “why would you say that? Is that how you feel, are you not taking her seriously?”
“No I am, I AM, I’m scared, I’m scared she’s going to think I’M not good enough” he confessed
“If she didn’t think you were, I’m pretty sure she’d be gone by now” Phil said
“(Y/N), are there more cupcakes?!!” Jake yelled across the backyard
“Let me check” you said as you went inside the house
Jake somehow brought Leila to the back right in the center of everyone, the view of the city was behind your guys house so they looked perfect in that spot. You headed out towards the back with a cake that you had made in your hand.
“Jake, darlin’ I didn’t find any cupcakes but I made this too, hey Leila look!” you said loud enough to get everyone’s attention.
On the cake, you had written Leila, will you marry me?
As soon as Leila read it, her eyes widened in shock and she turned around to look at Jake. Jake got down on one knee, “Leila, many people say that love at first sight doesn’t exist but darlin’ the moment I saw you at that Starbucks I knew that I had to get to know you, yes it took me forever and yes someone else had to make the first move for me to courage up to ask you” he said as he side-eyed you, “I will forever be grateful to have you in my life, I know it hasn’t been long enough, but Leila, you are it for me, I want to be the man that makes eveythin just a bit more better for you, I want to grow old with you and see what the future holds for us, Leila I love you, will you marry me?” he said as he cried
“Are you kidding me, of COURSE!!” Leila replied as she jumped up and down in excitement
“Here Leila now you’ll really need these ahhaha” you said as you handed her some handcuffs
“That wasn’t part of the plan!” Jake said crackin up
“Hey, there’s still girl code my friend” you said laughin
Everyone else cried and laughed and then congratulated the newly engaged couple
You were happy to see everyone havin an amazin time again, especially because you had been the one in charge of everythin. You were happy to see everyone comin by to see one another and supportin Jake.

As everyone said their goodbyes and more congrats you started cleanin up around in the backyard.
“Heyyy” Sid said in a sigh
“What’s up Cros?” you said as you picked up the tables
“I feel like we didn’t hangout today” he said
“Well I was in charge of everythin so yeah we didn’t”
Sid helped you move the tables back into the garage
“I’m sorry about what I said earlier” he said
“Look you said it for a reason, I’m not mad but I am a bit confused, if you’re not takin me serious then now’s the time to let me know” you said as you crossed your arms
“No I AM taking you seriously, I don’t know why I said that”
“Is it because we haven’t had sex Sidney?”
“No no, definitely not, I’m not pressuring you into that, you know that”
“Well I’m just makin sure, you said what you said and whatever you meant by it you need to let me know soon” you said as you continued puttin things away, “look I don’t want to argue, I’m exhausted and I have work tomorrow so let’s just leave it like this for now” you said.
