Kat's POV:
*A Year Later*
This past year has been crazy. From going to the ESPY's JR winning the Best Sixth Man Award, to me winning the Best Athletic Trainer Award. You can say we've been blessed. As for JR & I we're still together. Tonight is our 1 year anniversary. The first year was fun dividing the holidays were awkward. We're so used to spending the holidays with our families that it was hard to leave and go to the next house. And we always went to my moms house last. Right now JR & I was at my apartment laid up in his bed with my bull dog at the end.
JR: baby!
Me: yes.
JR: what are you thinking about?
Me: your injury.
JR: I'm fine. But tonight I have alot planned for you.
Me: for me?
JR: yeah Lady Swish. So I'm going to leave you to do what you females do.
Me: where are we going?
JR: you'll find out.
I rolled my eyes as he bent down to put on his sneakers, he grabbed his keys and snapback. Before leaning over to kiss me. I pecked his lips over 5 times.
JR: I'll be back to get you at 5:30.
Me: okay, see you later baby.
JR: love you
Me: love you too.
After he left, I laid in bed for 20 minutes before walking into my bathroom doing my daily hygiene and taking Leo, my dog on a walk.
JR's POV:
I met up with Kat's friends sister Kelsey and her cousin Shaina. Just so they could help me pick out this ring for her. Even though we've been daiting for a year and I honestly feel like I could spend the rest of my life with her. I walked into Jacob the Jewelers, jewelry store and browsed over the many engagement ring. As we looked over each and every one we all came to the conclusion that it's not her. But I came to the right person to create a ring or any piece of jewelry. But that will slow that process.
Jacob: JR, what can I help you help you with?
Me: I need a ring for my girlfriend.
Jacob: Katrina? None in the case fits her personality?
Me: nope.
Jacob: you can either look at the ones that I recently made or go through the process of creating one.
Me: how long does the process of getting a ring made takes.
Jacob: somewhere between 3 to 4 months.
Where the fuck are they going to get the diamonds, Africa? In 3 to 4 months I plan on moving to Jersey. I decided to put the ring idea on the back burner for now, and just go with getting her and mine names engraved on one of the rolex's I bought for her.
Me: how long will it take to engrave mine & Katrina's name & date engraved.
Jacob: anywhere between 3 to 5 hours. And where do you the engravement placed at?
Me: on the inside.
Jacob: you got it boss. I'll call you when it's ready anything else?
Me: nah not right now.
I walked out the store and toward my Mercedes Benz G-Wagon and drove to footlocker picking up some sneakers. Then I seen the driver I got for her for today standing outside.
John: wassup boss?
Me: came to get her some sneakers then going to a few more stores. She in footlocker right now?
John: yeah she picking up the Legend Blues and the all red Kobes & KDs for you.
Me: I was gonna pick those up for her. After this take her to the spa further downtown in Tribeca. Then from there then back to her apatment.
John: you got it boss.
I ran to my car and got because she was coming out. In stead of using the 42nd Street Times Square Footlocker, I went to 34th Street. Soon as I got out my car I walked in on the kids side, because she has kids feet and I pre-ordered everything. So I picked them up, along with my daughters sneakers and red, black, & white timbs, for the winter. After paying for everything, I walked out sitting the bags in trunk before walking toward the Louboutin store. She pointed out ones that she wanted online.
*3 Hours Later*
After picking up everything that she "wanted" and putting in a call with Jacob about a chain for her, I went go get a shape up. I sat in my barber's chair and listened to the conversation that the guys in there was having. Which was basically about the women they're with and who would they sleep with. What happens here at the barber shop stays here at the barber shop. After getting my hair cut, I was at my house getting in the shower, getting ready for tonight.
Kat's POV:
I honestly got everything that I think he'd be happy about having. I was at my house getting ready, I called Johnathan over so he can do my hair and make up for me. I sat in a robe with my legs crossed, eyes closed as he applied the make up on my face making me look as natural as possible.
Johnathan: so what are you guys doing tonight?
Me: one thing I know for sure is that we're having dinner and swapping gifts with each other, and everything else is a surprise.
Johnathan: I wouldn't be surprised if he get your ass is pregnant by the end of the night.
Me: I wouldn't either.
We both laughed as he continued to do my make up. After he finished, I walked into my closet and started to pick out the dress I was wearing for this special occasion and since this is a special occasion, I put on a cross body chain and a black dress from 88 Fin, and Lady Daf red bottoms. I looked at the time on my phone, 5:15. Since I had an extra 15 minutes, I decided to look over everything and check emails. Seeing that it was nothing new and realizing that the bags is still in the car. Just letting everything go, the gifts are probably at the next destination.
JR's POV:
After getting ready for our dinner tonight, I pulled up in front of Kat's building, put the car in park before getting out my car. I grabbed the a dozen of red roses out the passenger seat and walked into the building. Usually when I first started to come over from the games or to either lay up with Kat or take her on a date, people would stop and take pictures or ask for an autograph. But now since I come around often, they just speak and keep it pushing.
The elevator came down to the lobby and I got on and pressed 20, she has the best view of New Jersey and the west side highway. I walked to the end of the hall and knocked on her door and waited for her to answer. After waiting a few seconds, she answered the door looking beautiful as ever.
Me: these are for you.
Kat: awwh thanks baby.
She took the roses and sat then in a glass full of water.
Me: you ready?
Kat: yeah lets go.
We got on the elevator. Soon as we got downstairs, we got in my car and we headed toward the destination that I booked our dinner reservations at. I put the car in park, got out walked around to her side and helped her out the vehicle. We walked around the corner and her beamed
