Are you on your period or something?
What does this have to do with anything?
You're being irritable and moody! I just thought maybe you were on your period.
What? Did I say something wrong?
Well for one, that’s a very chicken way of saying your not satisfied with me! Two, I’m not on my period!
Whoa, hey! That's not what I meant at all. I didn't mean to imply that you weren't satisfied with me...
Yeah…really got it..I’m not satisfied with you Jake..
I'm sorry... I didn't know what else to say. I love you, and I don't want us to fight like this. Can we talk about it?
Maybe..but let’s get one thing straight, I’m not like some whiney bitch girl on their period! It’s kinda disrespectful for you to assume! Also your damn right we’re gonna talk about this..
sighs Look, I didn't mean to disrespect you. I was just trying to understand why you've been acting different lately.
I get tested myself remember? Like do you even know how this works? Do you know the wait times and how a fucking hormone pill can cause this? No! Of course you don’t! You never pay attention to me when I’m doing extra work around here! Do you think everything magically gets done by itself?! And then when I’m done with my day after being busy for 7 hours straight doing work, volunteering and studying, I come home and I have to deal with shit like this..I’m not on my period Jake! But does it even matter? Your gonna act like I am right?! So no I’m not satisfied with you Jake! Not right now and not most of the time! But let me tell you one thing, until you treat me like an equal, a fucking partner and not a damn child, I won’t be satisfied with you!
takes a deep breath You're right. I haven't been paying attention to what you've been going through, and I've been taking you for granted.
Damn right you have! I’m more than a house wife, you know!
stands up You're not just a housewife, and I should have known better than to assume otherwise.
You should have..glares at him
takes ponymuse's hand Look, I know I messed up, but I want to make it right. Can we start over and try to work through this together?
Yeah sure, but don’t forget what I said! And ya know..I might start sleeping in the spare bedroom til you get this right..you wouldn’t mind right..
holds ponymuse's hand tighter I understand, and I promise I'll do better. I don't want us to sleep in separate bedrooms, so please give me a chance to prove myself to you. I'll show you that I value and appreciate everything you do.
Mhm..just don’t fuck up again okay!..she gets up and walks toward their bedroom, leaving Jake thinking
Jake follows ponymuse into their bedroom, a determined look on his face Alright, I'm not going to let this slip away.
She turns towards him Look, I like you a lot..more than just a boyfriend..I’ve dated assholes before and I’m not going to stand for it! So I’m thinking…maybe it’s time we level up..you think so?
Jake smiles and takes a step closer to ponymuse Leveling up sounds like a great idea to me. I want to be the best partner I can be for you.
smiles back at him Then it’s official..we’re leveling up starting now! And guess what else?
grinning What else, babe?
We’re tying the knot! Jakes jaw drops I’m asking you to marry me!
stutters W-Wait, are you serious? You're really asking me to marry you?
Hell yeah I am, so what do you say?
Jake takes a moment to process ponymuse's words, his eyes widening with surprise and joy Ponymuse... I... I would love to marry you.
throws her arms around him Really?! I thought you were gonna run away screaming!
laughs Run away screaming? Are you kidding? I've never felt happier than I do in this moment. I love you, ponymuse, and I want to spend the rest of my life with you.
teary-eyed I love you too, Jake. And I'm so excited to start this new chapter with you.
pulls ponymuse into a tight embrace, kissing her passionately I can't wait to see what the future holds for us. Let's make many happy memories together, my love. After their engagement, Jake starts thinking about their future together and begins making plans for a beautiful wedding, filled with love and happiness.
