The answer is... YES!

By now Jason was on his knees with not one ring, but two rings. "Jenny I know that you are probably worrying about a lot of things. Most of which probably are pointless worries about money, but if the reason you are not answering me has something to do with these worries and less about how you really feel, then let me remind you that it is my birthday today. You didn't remember my birthday, nor did you prepare anything for it and even when I reminded you, you didn't even congratulate me. I don't mind any of that, but the least you could do is do me a favor. At least on this day you should allow me to spend my money on what I want and what I want to spend it on is you. The money that you are considering has already been "wasted" and I have spent hours designing this ring. The other ring belonged to my great grandmother and has cost me nothing. So pick whichever one you want, but I won't accept no for an answer because of a reason like that. If you pick neither, I will simply throw them away, because I have no use for them other than give them to you. If you ask me, that would be the biggest waste. So it is up to you, waste it all on nothing or spend it all on you." This was Jason's last resort. Mixing a guilt trip with logic and a bit of force. If she still rejected him, then he had to accept his defeat this time around. The reason he was pushing it this time around, was because something was telling him he shouldn't give up just yet. That a "yes" was just around the corner. That she was at a tipping point and a little push would make this week a complete success.

Jenny laughed at his weird logic and couldn't help but find the man before her adorable. How could she possibly say no, when seeing all the effort he had put in. He had even designed a ring for her and it was the perfect ring. Who knew he had known her well enough to be able to pull something like this off. This eased any worry she had and made her ready to answer. But not before bullying him a bit. Make him sweat a little. Thinking he can bully her into answering him, she would show him she wasn't one to take it lying down. She had always wondered how it would be to be the person who announces the winner at an award show or reveal whether the answer given was right in a quiz-show. To use that technique of dragging your answer out for as long as possible. Well what better time than now. So she started with, "Happy birthday silly man. On this day, and on this day alone, will I give you a pass for your unnecessary spending and will see just your good will and love in the gesture." A short pause followed and Jenny's expression revealed a teasing smile before continuing, "After all both rings are beautiful and I can see the effort you have put into picking these two. I am amazed you were able to design such a ring, something that matches the ring I had in mind for such a long time. How did you manage to create a perfect combination between a flower, my mom's ring and the ring of princess Kate?! And your great grandmother's ring. Wauw! That is all I can say about that. Even the box it's in must be worth a fortune and couldn't be more beautiful. Am I right to say that it is the same ring of the first proposal. You are quite daring to use it again, considering how the first one ended. It must have a special meaning to you that you decided to use it tonight as well. Well enough about that, you have asked me a question. The answer to your question..., well dear man there can only be one answer. As you know, the previous time you asked me this I was quite hesitant. Partly because there weren't any real feelings there and also because we barely knew each other." During all this rambling on of Jenny, Jason was growing more impatient by the second, but Jenny wasn't done yet. "Of course you had a completely different theory regarding to the latter. If I follow your logic from before, we have known each other for almost two years now and you have outdone yourself trying to show me how much you care. So without much ado, I of course have to say that the answer is...YES!"

A bit of bullying, a bit of romance, the perfect setting for a proposal's ending. Enjoy! If possible, I will upload another chapter this week. Till then I hope this will keep you content ;)
