Taylor's POV
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs99lGQtIgI
There's this side to Jay Gilbert Scott that I hadn't known until we were in the wilderness together. This side to him belongs in a country and western movie, striking blonde hair which is ruffled and pushed to the side. Messy yet super stylish. His rugged looks and chiselled jaw wearing a denim shirt which is slightly open exposing his tan chest.

Sitting next to me in his Land Rover driving off road through the fog with his arm rested on the door frame, he might as well be chewing on a piece of grass. He's humming along to a song, something which he is doing more and more since we've been in the wilderness.

"I love your voice" I say and look over at him as a smile stretches across his lips.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQPYeUJzja
"You do ?" He laughs.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXT8ekUvcOa
"It's the open landscape, makes me feel like singing" he adds almost to himself.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LmtRKV99n
"And being here with you" he whispers stroking my thigh.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWtzIMzlfM
"It suits you, you're so relaxed and happy. And I love that for you" I say smiling.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVsRCAx4qN
"What would I not have to be happy about" he says eyeing me up and down.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBfx64wJSx
"I have the most perfect soon to be wife" he whispers and I full on blush.

Eventually after some driving and listening to Jay sing, passing deer and trees are replaced with small buildings but nothing like the city. Everything is picturesque, quaint even. We pull into a small town and park up. Before we head into the jewellery shop we wander around the local shops. All of them chime as we enter with the old fashioned bells on the door.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4gd7Q95UU
In the corner of one store and just like it's been forgotten is a black shining acoustic guitar. With a worn patterned strap. I'm drawn to it instantly.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdG9jxDzbAF
Jay following my eye line sees the guitar and looks back at me grinning.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bLpYoFMum
"See something you like" he smiles arms going around my waist as he guides me over to the guitar.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXQVLwyEJr
"It's stunning, I always wanted one like this" I say quietly.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpnMTPifuL
"Pick it up" he whispers in my ear.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkJuefka85
My hands find the strap and I place it over my shoulders letting the guitar hang. I lift my hair out of the way and glance at Jay who is looking at me in awe.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8uE3tmDIB
"Suits you" he says smiling.
I play a few scales, and my favourite song.
It's mine now, I've decided.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2w1unMjyV
A few heartbeats later we're walking out of the shop with the guitar still around me. He holds my hand as we walk down the small streets and I place the guitar on my back so that it sits there. My plan is to sing with it tonight on the back porch.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAPgf21dN9
"This is it" Jay says as we approach a jewellery store.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cEy7mTbYr
We gaze through the window at the shining gold bands. All representations of eternity and forever.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTagqDmE81q
"I'm drawn to one of them" I whisper to Jay.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliZsYr0wPC
"Which one" he smiles and I point to it.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrjTqTFZXb
It's a simple white gold band, yet everything about it is exquisite.
"It's engraveable, no sapphires though" he tells me smiling looking down through the panes of glass at me.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXzZhgwrWE
"No it's perfect as it is plus my ring already has several sapphires" I say laughing slightly.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHzoxBfA2v
"I'd like it engraved" I say softly and he smiles guiding me into the store.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUw4yR2x1sC
Soft country music fills the store and an older gentlemen looks up as we enter. He smiles warmly and continues engraving.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu30Fl2qG1y
A small lady, perhaps his wife, smiles from over the counter.
"Please do let me know what you would like to see and I will gladly get it for you" she says smiling sipping some iced tea.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJ2ym3ZcFZ
"There's one actually in the window, it's ugh number 14 I think. Simple white gold" I say enquiringly and she smiles and goes to retrieve it.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhcgM7xbV4
When she returns Jay has found a ring that he likes too which is similar to mine but chunkier. More manly and very him. I see his eyes twinkle as he ogles it.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn05z13PSdA
"We can resize them too should any of the rings be too big" she says showing me the ring. Which up close is even more beautiful.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYcksJTkJ5
"Try it" she says smiling at me. I take off my engagement ring and place the band on and then place my engagement ring with it.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCoc6rGKIe
"This is the one Jay" I say turning to him. He smiles at me with a broad grin on his face.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8d6W27K1Do
"Perfect." He says inspecting my hands, checking the size and how it fits perfectly upon my finger. He smiles before kissing me and then turning to the lady behind the glass counter.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xaGd2mQHp
"May I try this one" he asks the lady next.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Dc9yU1hCm
"I was thinking engraving initials on the inner band" he comments placing his ring on. And something happens to me when I see it on his finger. It's like I know that this means he is mine, all mine. My tummy flips and my heart breaks out of my chest and I rather embarrassingly shed a few tears.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15i2NZPwB5
"That looks great" I say and he turns to me. A look of slight curiosity on his face and then alarm at the tears.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQswCnCjOyX
"I'm sorry, I'm just happy" I say half laughing.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6BpMo80sL
"It happens every time" the lady jokes behind the counter and actually it makes me feel a lot better for hearing it.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqF9IMLZ4R
We all laugh a little and the lady asks for details of the engraving to be written down so that there is no confusion. We go for our initials on the inside of the bands in fancy loose script, almost the same as our tattoos.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkioeYrowU4
"It's a big plus that the bands you've picked are a great fit already" she comments whilst they're being engraved.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcMt08WM5q
"It was meant to be" she smiles and winks at me.
I smile back warmly and Jay places his hand around my waist.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgfYEK4eT2
"All done for you" the man calls out from his tools.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBta4X2oamO
We scoot over to have a look at our new wedding bands.
"Perfect" I say smiling.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJE5KIRcSD
Once we've paid and the rings are securely in boxes we head to the door.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMr7JmOL2C
"Thank you" Jay smiles
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYA3irxAua
The small lady from over the counter sipping her tea looks up smiling.
"All the best to the both of you" she says warmly and we leave.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5KjYS7AqD
"So Mrs Gilbert Scott what would you like to do now?" Jay smiles holding onto me as we're walking through the streets.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWWk5l4alQ
"Let's go hiking" I say laughing eyeing up the mountains just on the horizon.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ531lQogPTE
"Hiking?!" He laughs.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHDpEPLr9u
"Yes why not" I say laughing back.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtP1z2UVSv
"Okay hiking it is" he says with a smile. He gives me everything. He gives into my every desire.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWABJCKZPf
"But first food" he smiles pulling me to a nearby local cafe.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44tY9zc923
"Gonna need all of the energy we can get" he smiles and then he winks at me.
