Carefully I walk down the marble staircase. Taking each step as it comes, watching my feet and holding my train up not wanting to fall over the silk.

I reach halfway down, we have a lot of stairs, and I look up from my feet. The first thing I see is Ross, his expression of amazement, wonder and devotion even. Having him watch me walk, it's oddly intimate. I feel self conscious but I continue with my steps, aiming to get down in one piece.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jwHTdGeFJ
"Taylor" he says once I reach the bottom.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DK9nJs9DF
"You look incredible" he says softly, and his eyes watch my lips and travel down my dress. I blush uncontrollably.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiw9c8R7LvZ
"Thank you" I smile.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfe6PNFUgtJ
"Rachel wants more Prosecco" I say softly.
He takes the glass from me and we walk through to the dining hall. His date, who is currently behind my bar scowls at me as we approach.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL48mTImQEo
"Kat could you pass me the Prosecco" I say softly.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJrKxAubFn
"Where is it" she says harshly.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwipkOlR9f
Ross leans over the bar and grabs it.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHb198fGgDB
She scoffs and sips her drink, my Prosecco. I stifle a laugh. I'm not arguing with her.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzZh31OESf
He pours another looking into my eyes filling up the glass. I maintain his eye contact. She is seething I can feel her stare and I'm not even looking.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVNeY2qwcz
"There you go" he smiles.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QVjbhXvMF
I give him a weak smile and turn on my heel. Sure that she's staring me down as I walk away. I hear his soft footsteps behind me and as I reach the staircase I turn on him.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStr5R4rU5W
"Ross" I say exasperated.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8vbHT53WW
"Taylor" he smiles back at me.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGqu3PX6Eq
"You're supposed to stay with your date, how is she ever going to like me if you do that" I say rattled
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqDF4gmtN0
"Ohhh you don't need her to like you Taylor. I like you" he smiles softly.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvC6QYbEdb
"Stop" I protest softly.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FppvrNuKZ
"You're my best girl" he says with his twinkly blue eyes smiling at me.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kWV95ticD
I just stare at him.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UIoRYVmr3
"Help me up the stairs" I say giving in, he smiles and links my arm in his. We begin walking back up.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRX8ChyaScS
"How do you ever get around this place" he chuckles.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9DrDt8NCe
"Oh stop it" I say back to him humoured.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYzVI8eyoi
He laughs.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5c8WfRyvgF
"Okay, on my best behaviour" he says.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJ7XM2Y5Dm
"Unlike you showing me everything that I could be having" he whispers.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEb1M9YzCv
"Ross, I did not mean to" I say back.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvbmq82lNo
"I don't think I'll ever un-see that" he smiles.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vgy0TMaFG
"Well I'm sorry" I laugh.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgthMuNNYgy
"Don't be" he says and our eyes meet again.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgZ6IrkGeZ
We walk down my hall and I wince hearing Rach going off at Matty. I roll my eyes at Ross and he just laughs.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ErOTQ2HN6
"Hence why Nate is hiding" he laughs.
We enter my bedroom together and he stays close to me, I know that he's annoying Jay and I'm just hoping that they don't come to blows this evening. I need to make him rein it in.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqviSu7TIZ0
"And you're hiding too from Kat" I say.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0tXMcPhcv
"God she is draining the fun out of my evening" he laughs.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQP2Jw0fIe
"Why did you invite her then" I laugh.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0yh4RWINB
"Just so that my date wasn't Matty" he laughs back.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuITLRnOyMx
"Ross" I say softly
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTOEMf5A3l
"You have all of us" I say.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0j82fqqXh
I head into the walk in wardrobe, Jay is just about dressed, Rach is fawning over Matty. He eyes us as we enter and I pass Rach her Prosecco, helping her to stand up and get off of Matty's lap. He smiles at me and mouths a thank you.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRiLlxuZTL
I head over to Jay and stroke his back. He eyes me in the mirror and smiles.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAKnS3UpcF
"You look wonderful" I whisper and he smiles. He turns his body to me. Stroking my arms and looking into my eyes.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdk9Ijrbo21
"You look absolutely stunning" he whispers. He plants a soft kiss on my forehead.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJts1jY9Hr
"It's taking all of my restraint" he whispers.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAmZgBm7Vr
"You are perfection" he says.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPn74gtucZn
"Where's the limo at?" Rach demands.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgdnOaGXwl
Jay pulls his phone out and places a call. He's so sexy. I just watch him, taking charge as always.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡug7cJFn63I
"Twenty minutes" he says simply once he ends the call.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ykp7OoOGS
"I'm gonna set the alarm system now" he comments just to me. We have pretty top security.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXnZGbdNmz
"Of course" I say feeling irresponsible for not even having thought about it.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1My5ZB92b
The others begin leaving and heading for the stairs. Matty keeping Rachel steady as she stomps along in her heels.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9j4GB9ttE
"There's something..." Jay whispers slightly pulling my hand back.
I turn to face him.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeatgfw8Fxd
"There's something I want to give to you" he says softly.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNG7tcKUat
"We've got more than twenty minutes I just said that to..." he says and he's actually flapping, he's nervous. My Jay, I melt seeing his expression.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiWTJm13Fa
"Come" he whispers.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3JNkvFs9U
We head back to our bedroom and he sits me on the bed. He retrieves a small velvet black box from the walk in wardrobe.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpISaFcyAFJ
"I want you to have these" he smiles.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlV7FDgVGzr
He sits down next to me watching me open the box.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjqzEAG7QX
"Jay" I say breathless.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouwsMPnZVl
I look in the velvet box at a diamond bracelet and matching diamond earrings. Glistening under the light.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9KYc5ksdm
"Here let me put it on for you" he says.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4KiOWMy4S
He delicately takes the bracelet out and wraps it around my wrist. I admire it and smile. How can I deserve this ?
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxYINNswpt
"You deserve diamonds" he says admiring me.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OswNYO4O1
I take out the earrings and place them in my ears.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdZ56hF033
"Jay I don't know what to say" I say dabbing my eyes.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuXf3G8Y2J
"No don't cry, you'll only tell me you've ruined that makeup" he chuckles tearing up himself.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiMusrmmTa
"It's prom, and I wanted you to have something special" he says.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYjGQp8IVj
"I love you" he says and kisses my lips.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkS8Eo1aXlJ
"Now let's go before I push you back onto our bed" he smiles
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiAshXFHfE
"Jay" I say as he stands, he pushes his hair back and fixes his eyes on me.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7qcH6rDwr
"I love you too" I say and take his hand.
