Taylor's POV
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxhYLJWzsv
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 car with the windows down, 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.

"I love your voice" I say and look over at him
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wxS5jGPAY
He smiles.
"You do ?" He laughs.
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIadGmnD3bA
"It's the open landscape, makes me feel like singing" he adds.
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraBSyoT3kB
"It suits you, you're so relaxed and happy. And I love that for you" I say smiling.
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71DyZGyhVG
"What would I not have to be happy about" he says eyeing me up and down.
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOLmP3cCcA
"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.

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.
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0pm4FPo7F
Jay following my eye line sees the guitar and looks back at me grinning.
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASIixbra8s
"See something you like" he smiles arms going around my waist as he guides me over to the guitar.
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBLhl5GlTC
"It's stunning, I always wanted one like this" I say quietly.
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUmXovk9xH
"Pick it up" he whispers in my ear.
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxLqVuhR6m
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.
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbC0uZjrS7
"Suits you" he says smiling.
I play a few scales, and my favourite song.
It's mine now, I've decided.
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgurVT0RVjf
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.
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFZnbCiPbI
"This is it" Jay says as we approach a jewellery store.
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2H0blJbjhZ
We gaze through the window at the shining gold bands. All representations of eternity and forever.
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡognMYG7MLN
"I'm drawn to one of them" I whisper to Jay.
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CWQ9Lfbt3
"Which one" he smiles. I point to it.
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jfgwNZw1n
It's a simple white gold band, yet everything about it is exquisite.
"It's engraveable, no sapphires though" he asks me smiling.
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkh6WHS7Qn
"No it's perfect as it is plus my ring already has several sapphires" I say.
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1TGbBQwcE
"I'd like it engraved" I say softly and he smiles guiding me into the store.
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiXG3qppQJ
Soft country music fills the store and an older gentlemen looks up as we enter. He smiles warmly and continues engraving.
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLF5EB2i0y
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.
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhV72PJyKZq
"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.
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnGxHK7muW
When she returns Jay has found a ring that he likes too which is similar to mine but chunkier.
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPa9cXSqX0
"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.
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGyME8yE1i
"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.
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKQRoNJXk4
"This is the one Jay" I say turning to him. He smiles at me with a broad grin on his face.
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSn7a0CyEfc
"Perfect." He says
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBID2XkDDlu
"May I try this one" he asks the lady next.
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tZt0OfnV6
"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.
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiyIIGPRco
"That looks great" I say and he turns to me. A look of slight curiosity on his face and then alarm at the tears.
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDVXBEBPhQ
"I'm sorry, I'm just happy" I say half laughing.
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvT1xa1FBk
"It happens every time" the lady jokes behind the counter and actually it makes me feel a lot better for hearing it.
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3g6F8hOqTG
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.
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmLmLE0UEy
"It's a big plus that the bands you've picked are a great fit already" she comments whilst they're being engraved.
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRBXrVWXOu
"It was meant to be" she smiles and winks at me.
I smile back warmly and Jay places his hand around my waist.
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uKMX9MOBU
“All done for you” the man calls out from his tools.
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcWG2GrBOB
We scoot over to have a look at our new wedding bands.
“Perfect” I say smiling.
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDF6mmlF3Qb
Once we’ve paid and the rings are securely in boxes we head to the door.
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTEMdWg8b8
“Thank you” Jay smiles
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7gLaRa8aN
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.
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvy8FokdZP
“So Mrs Gilbert Scott what would you like to do now?” Jay smiles holding onto me as we’re walking through the streets.
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRl1GVZJ90
“Let’s go hiking” I say laughing eyeing up the mountains just on the horizon.
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8RFwzyiej
“Hiking?!” He laughs.
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7x8J50iP7T
“Yes why not” I say laughing back.
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91cFWR5OA7
“Okay hiking it is” he says with a smile. He gives me everything. He gives into my every desire.
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxp3B3pMfuE
“But first food” he smiles pulling me to a nearby local cafe.
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsAMGRQVEs
“Gonna need all of the energy we can get” he smiles and then he winks at me.
