Jays POV
26Please respect copyright.PENANAVP8rq3kk4m
I bought her a Lamborghini, of course I did. It is scarlet red and she looks gorgeous in it. The brand new Urus model, is totally practical, I promised her. And let's face it I enjoyed driving it home.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAHHS5qaisM7
"Jay" she moans and I smile looking down at her. Our sheets crumpled around her. Nobody can pleasure my wife like I can.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAkFu9TEYwqN
"Jay" she calls out, eyes closed grasping onto my back. I've barely thought about Matthew. Actually it's at the very back of my mind, behind work and my job. It's low on my priorities. I'm sure he's doing the nurse by now anyhow.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAAnZCmD2qWq
"Mmm" I moan as she moves her hips underneath me allowing her to pull me in.
26Please respect copyright.PENANA8x9F4zb6vf
Once we finish I lay down onto the bed, looking up at the canopy and feeling breathless. Telling myself a gym session is needed again. I've been eating too many lemon cakes and pasta bakes. Drinking too much Italian wine. I gaze out at the morning sun, looking at the balcony and the vineyard that stretches out before my eyes. Happiness, for me comes in the form of waking up to Taylor in our very own Italian farm the sun glowing through the drapes.

The warm golden palette of the bedroom and the chic wooden furniture makes me feel at home. Forget having an en-suite, each bedroom has a large sized bathroom attached to it. I look over at Taylor lying watching me wrapped up in the sheets and smile. My wife and my baby. I'm going to shower with her, in our new bathroom. Dress with her, she needs more help with bump now.
26Please respect copyright.PENANA3r84XgQFoQ
"I love you" she whispers softly reaching out and brushing my blonde hair back.
26Please respect copyright.PENANA0kkVrSxqoC
"I love you" I whisper back. We have a plane to catch today. From Florence to California. Twenty or so hours, of me worrying about my baby and my wife.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAGleqT1PWZv
"Come on beautiful" I say helping her up, our bags packed at the door downstairs. She follows me into the bathroom suite.
26Please respect copyright.PENANA7itnGBsk6Y
It's traditional but it's totally unique and magnificent. Like an Italian spa. Two marble pillars around the bathtub, and a large open wet room with two huge shower heads. I turn the brass taps and the shower heads turn on. Water collecting on the cream marble floor and draining away.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAjFbJDIn4kT
I smile down at her, as she rests her head in my chest under the shower. I'm not imagining it, she's attached to me endlessly. I can always feel her on me and I love it.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAPRnUqaWaIg
I wrap her up in the fluffy towels from the heated rack and follow her into the walk in wardrobe next door. She pulls me along by hand, and I just watch her wet hair fall over her back. Dying to kiss her again.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAcuQjqwvsEQ
She pulls a white tank top on, her tan glowing under it. I help her with her skirt, it's very warm today and even though we're going to be on a plane soon, Taylor is feeling the heat.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAiIe8nwyM2H
With her hair dried and pink lipstick on, I smile at her and she laughs.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAOtKvPjr4Ub
"What?" She says laughing.
26Please respect copyright.PENANA7yW9sCQSkV
"You look beautiful" I say softly meaning every word.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAKWSiDdbzMO
"I look like a beached whale" she laughs, pushing her waves off of her face. I pull a navy blue t shirt on, put my hair in a top knot and pull on some Levi's. I should probably have a haircut and a shave too, I just love the way she always has her hands in my hair and for that reason I've let it grow.
26Please respect copyright.PENANARXiIkAk34F
She comes to wrap her arms around me again.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAFkggOeIGMI
"Can I wear your blue shirt" she smiles up at me and I kiss her lips, softly.
26Please respect copyright.PENANA7sqxEXLQIq
"I'd love you too" I say pulling it off of a hanger. Placing it around her shoulders and scooping her hair out from under it. She looks good in blue, it matches her eyes perfectly.
26Please respect copyright.PENANALDdM2woNTe
After breakfast, Taylor decides to take one of the lemon loaves back with us to the USA and to hide a bottle of our wine in the luggage.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAYG3xVnSEL6
"Baby they won't question a pregnant woman" she explains laughing when I look at her with a wry smile on my lips.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAIZBJyLjis0
"Oh Taylor I think you could get away with anything with just your smile" I tell her grinning and grabbing the keys to the new car.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAXRg1zOFMy0
I load the car with the bags and book parking. Taylor is in the babies room again, making sure everything is in place for when we arrive back here. All of the furniture sits proudly in the room, the cot and the snoo. Even the pram is up and ready to go. I purchased a rocking chair and a changing unit too and I imagine sitting in there rocking a baby to sleep.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAa7CeAqghMm
Taylor has placed all the babies clothes in the dresser, and we even have a little wardrobe for when he gets bigger. All of the diapers and changing clothes are placed ready to be used. Bottles are in the kitchen along with a steriliser and pacifiers.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAgPt7HSy9ce
"Tay" I call up the stairs and I hear her moving towards the grande staircase.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAFfMC8QqMpc
"Ready for a bit of the USA" I laugh and she smirks walking down the marble steps, slowly.
26Please respect copyright.PENANArFPMNuDCiG
"Of course" she says softly a smile on her lips.
26Please respect copyright.PENANArMs8ndXOOH
Locking up and setting alarms I leave as she sits in the new car. I climb into the leather seats and she eyes me.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAXIgkI57UjW
"Jay" she says and I turn to smile at her, she’s sipping a smoothie we made before we left.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAqJVulJPNrl
"Mhmm" I say starting up the car, nothing like starting up a new engine. It growls at me and I watch the dials move up. The music system starts up and I put on some classical music, for bump. She’s determined that he’s going to be musical.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAXgja8zBL4T
"You look wonderful, I love your hair longer" she says sweetly and I smile at her rubbing her thigh.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAokBNiIpOVZ
"Let's be honest you always look stunning" I tell her.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAZjgHn9jcWO
"Jay" she says more seriously as I reverse and head towards our wooden gate. The sun beating down on the gravel and the birds singing a tune outside.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAMu6sW0tRwg
"Thank you" she says softly, I glance over at her and she smiles.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAmiiJn9NxnQ
"For providing for us. For Italy and the farmhouse" she smiles brushing my hand with her own.
26Please respect copyright.PENANATIIiQIjrTU
"You do not need to thank me" I smile and I kiss her quickly, eyes returning to the country lane down from our place.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAEyOOETF7gn
How I'm going to miss the olive trees, and the scent of lemons. The rustic feel and the charm. Even if this is just a brief departure, a temporary diversion from our Italian forever after. I look over at Taylor by my side in her all white linen outfit, my blue shirt undone reaching her thighs and I smile.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAYKmqxbIrB7
Italy agrees with her, her skin looks wonderful, the perfect shade of brown. The sun bringing out lighter shades in her hair. Watching her as the breeze pushes her hair off of her face, I think about being back in USA with her. I’m even more protective of her now. Unsure of how I’ll react if Matthew so much as enters her personal space. I’m not threatened by him, not in the slightest, my plan always goes above any of his.
26Please respect copyright.PENANADhjv1fAXLk
Taylor’s admission exclaiming she would stay here with me forever, was a revelation for me. Not because I thought she didn’t love me, but more because she would leave her entire world for me. Her career, her friends, the places she’s grew up in and her family.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAhlR5c1nVLw
However I can't imprison her because of my insecurities, I care about her too much. I could easily sell cherry tree, but it would be silly not to keep the door open there. Firstly because of her needs, her need to be close to her own family. Her absolute right to have the choice to be there if she wanted. Secondly, it’s important to keep that option open for business. However the admission that she would sacrifice everything for me is enough.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAGFv58gUYra
“Why are you staring at me” she smirks and I look over at her.
26Please respect copyright.PENANA1gomZA6ROw
“Because Taylor” I begin.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAhyK2f76R0i
“You told me that you would live here with me forever and that’s a big deal to me” I say softly looking at the road.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAw8kCzrix9E
“I’m determined to” she says and I glance at her smile.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAg1MjkCHzd3
“Mr Gilbert Scott” she whispers and I smirk.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAsW7y3q34gH
“You are my world. Our world actually” she says rubbing bump.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAK3ujBS31m2
“Forever?” I ask her softly and she nods smiling.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAAnuppOvhgN
“Forever” she says sweetly.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAIKiJcLGTmh
“What about your whole entire life?” I whisper to her.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAs6DmUF3Lce
“You are it” she counters and I look at her shocked.
26Please respect copyright.PENANARofmW5q1I6
“What about Rachel and Ross and Matty” I say tacking his name on at the end. She looks at me unwaveringly.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAa4NOv8e5BT
“They will be fine we can visit them or they can visit us” she says honestly. I wait, I know there’s more. There is always more when it comes to women. I know my wife.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAiA2HJvh6t0
“Jay” she says softly and I face her briefly checking on the road. It’s clear, baron only the trees ahead.
26Please respect copyright.PENANABfkdZ5OXWz
“I will never ever be able to take back what I did” she says and her eyes water.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAFwigHdai1T
“I can only show you how much you mean to me. How much you have always meant to me. And living with you forever for the rest of my life is what I always intended. It’s what I want” she says and I slow the car down. She wipes her eyes and I stop the car, pulling over aside by the trees.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAzsVR0pSXUG
“I want us, Jay. Not my life. I want our life. Together” she explains and I stare at her uncomprehending how I managed to illicit this response from her.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAQYswsQaS48
She’s still talking to me and I probably should respond but I love the sound of her voice and how she keeps saying we, our and us.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAV80jeu7JPf
“You could drive us back right now” she whispers.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAXCLfz6PGaw
“You have to see your mum” I say softly wiping my eyes. What is she doing to me? I’m beside myself.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAQJnGJYzgtC
“Okay” she whispers pulling my hands onto her.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAXuXgs3axP0
“You” she says softly pulling her lips into my own and kissing me.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAkhdtlhenbV
“Are everything to me” she replies deepening the kiss.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAzKh5Uz4Lis
“And I’m sorry if that scares you Jay, or shocks you. Or makes you want to call everything off. But you’re my choice, my world.” She says and I open the drivers door with my free hand breaking free from kissing her. Stepping out into the sun, and walking around the car to her side.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAiLh7HIWHWJ
She stands in front of me in the midday sun and I watch her, my hands going through her hair.
26Please respect copyright.PENANABMwXCaz4h0
“I’m going to demand you say something” she says slowly.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAXHErgtI8yI
“You are worth more than me, when we first dated I used to dream about these moments. Dream that by some miracle I would be able to keep you for the rest of my life. Dream that you would see something in me. I used to fear that because” I begin and I shake my head, crying, I don’t cry. The last time I cried like this my mum had miscarried. I push the thought away fervently.
26Please respect copyright.PENANABZDcFaY6Lk
Looking down at Taylor as she watches me her cerulean blue eyes glistening.
26Please respect copyright.PENANA7CWj2tTnQT
“Because of how I managed to get with you, because of everything that happened between you two. Because of the fact that Ross and Matty were the better guys. That you would realise I was not worthy and you would go back to him or start up a life with Ross. You’d have another baby. And I would be alone. Without you forever” I tell her and she strokes my face.
26Please respect copyright.PENANArDkjThJ78X
“I thought you just wanted me then, to heal from what happened, and I would have understood that Taylor” I explain and she looks at me concerned.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAuzrhs22Zzh
“But, you telling me that you would leave everything behind for me. For us. That’s monumental for me. Taylor okay ? Jesus. That’s your mother and your dad that you haven’t seen for years. That’s the first love of your life, even though I hate him I can’t deny that you loved him. Your most dear friends okay” I say and I’m falling. Out of control.
26Please respect copyright.PENANA4If6DZhjFY
I wipe my face, breathe in and out again and close my eyes briefly. When I open them she smiles at me softly.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAE1ndBrqh4p
“I love you Jay Gilbert Scott” she smirks and I sigh looking down at the gravel.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAcQCaz6ALV4
“There’s nothing in my life that means more to me than us.” She says making me look at her. I kiss her passionately on the side of the road, pulling her into me making her breathless.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAx4Vl2wuCmW
“We can do this for the rest of our days, I will never ever let you down. I will care for you and our babies. I will cherish you” I tell her stroking her face.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAOBM7ML6LTq
“Now” I say shakily, she chuckles smiling at me, the breeze lightly pushing her hair around. I guide her back inside of the car. Take a deep breath and make sure I’m okay to drive.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAuyr8UuAlA0
“Now” I say once I’ve calmed my nerves and sat back in the leather seats of our lambo. She chuckles stroking my arm and I look at her briefly stunned by the intensity of that moment.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAuTzps704aK
“We go back to the USA and see your mother.” I say slowly. I pull out checking all of my mirrors.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAIBIgeTAGt0
“We can get plane tickets for her to come over once we have settled and the baby is a couple months” I say planning. It’s what I do. Planning makes me feel in control. Taylor just very much took all of my control away from me, I’m putty in her hands.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAQcL6eZaSZ2
“My dad and my mum too, by the way she very much will do you a baby shower in the USA so be prepared” I chuckle looking at her grin.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAUPXXQMjdlY
“I’ll be there too don’t you worry about that” I say fully intending on being at the baby shower to rein my mother in.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAGHkgSmlqIK
“Can we make it kinda like a party, rather than a chick thing” she laughs and I full on guffaw. Trust Taylor to make me laugh after a moment like that.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAiLlfD6NqEQ
“Baby shower party with alcohol. Lots of it” she adds.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAugDZixGbmF
“We can make it a farewell send off” she smiles at me and I look at her checking that she’s not gone into shock.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAauBrlfK7P6
“Like a goodbye party” I check in with her.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAnGIQbPbA3m
“Yes” she says simply and I stare out ahead into the Italian sunshine, elated her hand in my own.
