Like all things we enjoy in life, they come to an end. And that's just something you have to accept. I liked the spa. I liked being in our own little utopia. I liked being away from our friends, temporarily. And I loved being with Jay, and just Jay without interruption. It was like being at the lake house again. Us time.

Now we're driving back to cherry tree having stopped off several times for food and toilets. Approaching cherry tree I've decided will not remind me any more of Jacob and the pain I feel in my body from him. After all we cannot just buy a new mansion every time I have a bad experience. This is my home. This is my sanctuary and it will not be ruined by him.

I still haven't switched my phone on. I'm not willing to, in fact I might push it off until tomorrow at university.
38Please respect copyright.PENANAjKVAE3rDZc
We drive through the grounds and I take in everything around me, the trees and the sound of the birds. The smell of honeysuckle and freesia. I look at Jay he's pushed his blonde hair back scruffily. He looks all man in his blue jeans and white t-shirt. I sigh, he's wonderful.

As I glance at the large circular water fountain I tell myself that I'm not ignoring the fact that I've just been through something truly horrible, I am just choosing to see the good in my current situation.

He parks up and heads to get my door. I don't necessarily wait for him to get there but I don't rush either, I like to give him his moments. Deep down Jay is romantic. He doesn't hide it, he enjoys making me feel loved and adored. And he does it well, so very well.
38Please respect copyright.PENANA1mGJ5ALQpz
We head into our place, cherry tree and I mentally erase the events of the last couple of nights from my memory. No more thinking about it all. I sigh and head into the heart of our place. The kitchen.

I whip up some olives and pasta and make Jay a coffee. He waltzes in from unpacking the bags and looks at me smiling.
38Please respect copyright.PENANAjnXPuFyneX
"Let's be honest" he smiles.
38Please respect copyright.PENANAYpK021Dv12
"You're the best wife anybody could ever ask for" he says picking up an olive and feeding me it.
38Please respect copyright.PENANAnwh5iWpbRu
"Ohhh and you're the best husband I could ever ask for" I smile feeding him some pasta.
38Please respect copyright.PENANAsFYh7rmoEI
"You know I can actually plate it up rather than us feeding each other from the pans" I smile.
38Please respect copyright.PENANAEm3Ldkblan
He kisses me, a slow kiss. I melt with him and he chuckles.
38Please respect copyright.PENANALHmWK8WNVV
"If you must, but I do love feeding you" he says and he grabs a forkful of pasta placing it in my mouth.

I plate up the food and his arms go around me. I grate some padana cheese on top. And we eat together.
38Please respect copyright.PENANA7BTrjiilDC
By the time Jay is loading the dishwasher I'm half asleep. I'm learning through pregnancy, that babies require lots of food and lots of rest.

I mentally make a list of things I can do to prepare for the best day of my life; I'm thinking a nice spray tan, hair treatment that kind of stuff. Maybe another massage. I quite liked those, I could get used to that.
38Please respect copyright.PENANAcWAtsn7tl1
"Stag do is when" I say looking at him.
38Please respect copyright.PENANAVDZhhghEcq
"Friday night" he replies.

Rachel has planned a hen do, I'm worried about the whole thing. It is Rachel and she's most likely booked a stripper.

Inevitably we make love to each other again. He cherishes my whole body, making sure he pays attention to each individual part.
38Please respect copyright.PENANAVCwOmm5Aiv
I fall asleep satisfied, in his arms. Dreaming of only him and our life that we’re going to make together.
