*he was just about to stab the cake with his fork when she suddenly produced the watch. jack froze, eyes on the watch, before looking at her. she barely knew him, but she had gone to the extreme of… he felt his heart tighten and squirm before melting into butterflies and he smiled a big, great, honest smile*
o-oh, katelynn…!! *he reached for it from her, looking it over* it, it’s so classy looking and.. and… thank you! *before he knows it his arms are around her, pulling her in and hugging her* thank you!
She blushed, not used to hugs and tried to wrap her own arms tentatively around him but they were stuck between them. “Y-You’re welcome. I’m really glad you l-like it..I wanted to properly surprise you.”
Because she couldn’t really move, she tucked her head on his shoulder a bit to hide her blushing face from the probably jealous waitress.
*he held her for a moment, just… enjoying the closeness, and the moment. she felt wonderful, here in his arms, her breath on his neck and he wanted to suddenly ask her out. to ask to go properly out, on a date, with her; but no. he barely known her a few days. who does that? not him… not him. he lets go of her, face purple*
w-well you did, thank you… thank you… *he works at getting it onto his wrist now, before finally picking up a fork to try a slice of cake. he takes a bite, and sits there a while* …this is amazing.
