"I will," she promises, slithering off the bed and moving to rest her hands on his shoulders so she can kiss him before pushing him towards to door. "Go."
After Cougar finally leaves, Jake makes her way to the bathroom so she can take a brief shower, careful to keep the tattoos dry for as long as possible. After, she stares at herself in the foggy mirror, admiring the way those small little smudges look against her hip bones. In a few weeks, they'll be as perfectly integrated into her skin as the freckles that have cropped up across her face and shoulders.
Setting an alarm for her phone so she won't get distracted, she goes and sits, stark naked, at her laptop to get some work done while she air dries, happily losing herself in the coding she's working on for well over an hour before her chirping phone drags her out of it.
Food from the Ortiz family restaurant is always delicious, but usually slightly out of their price range. Jake tries to save going there for special occasions, really, but there's nothing more special than her engagement in her mind, which is why she suggested it in the first place. By the time Cougar comes home, she'll have laid out plates of steaming, fragrant food, all waiting for him, and she'd have changed into one of her nicer dresses (but not the white one). She can't help the restless feeling in her limbs, the butterflies trembling in her belly. She shouldn't be nervous, she's already agreed to marry him, but somehow, him coming home with a ring for her will make it even more real.
