“See Jake, this is what happens when I let someone else do the order. It gets messed up. Now I have to go to Teufel Hundens, on my day off and fix it. Why are you just standing there? Come on we have to go fix that. If I don’t get it taken care of we will be short for the weekend.”
Jake shook his head, as he followed behind her, “I’m coming Baby doll.”
Jake and Blondie arrived at Teufel Hundens, as they entered the building Blondie was grumbling about stupid liquor orders. She didn’t notice the line of people standing there when she walked in. She jumped in surprise when all of a sudden she heard, “Happy Birthday Blondie.”
She stopped dead in her tracks as she took in all the people who were there for her. Al, had a huge cake, Jane and Nikki stood next to him, Ham was sitting in a chair and all the employees where present.
“Oh, you guys. Thank you so very much. Damn it Jake. The liquor order is fine isn’t it?”
“Yes Baby doll it is,” getting down on his knee he grabbed Blondie’s hand, “Mary-Alice Roberts will you do me the pleasure of becoming my bride?”
When he handed her the crab, she started laughing. Jake told her, “I fell in love with you that day, I promise to be your hero whenever you need me. Even if it involves saving you from crabs. Jake opened the ring case.”
Blondie laughing and crying at the same time wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him. Yes my hero I will marry you. That was one of the most memorial days of my life even with those crazy crabs. I love you Jake, forever.
