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.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7uxK8KNr2
"Taylor" he says once I reach the bottom.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2Vi51otjC
"You look incredible" he says softly, and his eyes watch my lips and travel down my dress. I blush uncontrollably.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8QIqHQFT2
"Thank you" I smile.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bhFHfcmKw
"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.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWZ8PsmRzl
"Kat could you pass me the Prosecco" I say softly.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvw9UvHi16
"Where is it" she says harshly.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpdX3PfVtE
Ross leans over the bar and grabs it.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNjAE2w20R
She scoffs and sips her drink, my Prosecco. I stifle a laugh. I'm not arguing with her.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgj7cavQX3o
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.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfB141ghGL
"There you go" he smiles.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjfhKanDbu
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.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnuCtEpLQb
"Ross" I say exasperated.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuNicjqjiK
"Taylor" he smiles back at me.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgmmWYCm3I
"You're supposed to stay with your date, how is she ever going to like me if you do that" I say rattled
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGJRweQGoa
"Ohhh you don't need her to like you Taylor. I like you" he smiles softly.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggSyls9XkK
"Stop" I protest softly.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcue1MHtjs
"You're my best girl" he says with his twinkly blue eyes smiling at me.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoKndONsLk
I just stare at him.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKuouPdLIg
"Help me up the stairs" I say giving in, he smiles and links my arm in his. We begin walking back up.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQXUTzsK1Z
"How do you ever get around this place" he chuckles.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUDehhFoQv
"Oh stop it" I say back to him humoured.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTu3atqx9E
He laughs.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBqbp2a1NS
"Okay, on my best behaviour" he says.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdJ0fhEq86
"Unlike you showing me everything that I could be having" he whispers.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZ9FkJ6Rek
"Ross, I did not mean to" I say back.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGo93i2cQx
"I don't think I'll ever un-see that" he smiles.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlxoNabDYQ
"Well I'm sorry" I laugh.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorVhOqiv8Q
"Don't be" he says and our eyes meet again.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNauYfMQcWV
We walk down my hall and I wince hearing Rach going off at Matty. I roll my eyes at Ross and he just laughs.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLAY2w3bsd
"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.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQp7VHVwD2
"And you're hiding too from Kat" I say.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFldvcoqSRb
"God she is draining the fun out of my evening" he laughs.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhG76BBxMvk
"Why did you invite her then" I laugh.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLa8kHzoEU
"Just so that my date wasn't Matty" he laughs back.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdxNNGcjDB
"Ross" I say softly
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57PNwyJqvc
"You have all of us" I say.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XL1lGuBdY
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.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvX19mP0hNB
I head over to Jay and stroke his back. He eyes me in the mirror and smiles.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPf2TcF3zwa
"You look wonderful" I whisper and he smiles. He turns his body to me. Stroking my arms and looking into my eyes.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ981DaHwMeM
"You look absolutely stunning" he whispers. He plants a soft kiss on my forehead.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkeYw3y5Cy
"It's taking all of my restraint" he whispers.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMainVgXzl1
"You are perfection" he says.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0NWhMEiY2
"Where's the limo at?" Rach demands.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPTd093zWJ
Jay pulls his phone out and places a call. He's so sexy. I just watch him, taking charge as always.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHreR97uZf
"Twenty minutes" he says simply once he ends the call.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOR8WRc1fu
"I'm gonna set the alarm system now" he comments just to me. We have pretty top security.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvfik8f0wV
"Of course" I say feeling irresponsible for not even having thought about it.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVd3ngVsILo
The others begin leaving and heading for the stairs. Matty keeping Rachel steady as she stomps along in her heels.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMiyEspiqF
"There's something..." Jay whispers slightly pulling my hand back.
I turn to face him.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbdRv3AsKS
"There's something I want to give to you" he says softly.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QKr6VYvXa
"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.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnMNLkeQTm
"Come" he whispers.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsf4DNckh5R
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.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBr1AflguY
"I want you to have these" he smiles.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1K9e5RIf1
He sits down next to me watching me open the box.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4kIJ7d6az
"Jay" I say breathless.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxmz1TabOQ
I look in the velvet box at a diamond bracelet and matching diamond earrings. Glistening under the light.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7taSQk0bKQ
"Here let me put it on for you" he says.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhP9PKriKH
He delicately takes the bracelet out and wraps it around my wrist. I admire it and smile. How can I deserve this ?
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRBuwxQOp7
"You deserve diamonds" he says admiring me.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngJH4SeTLD
I take out the earrings and place them in my ears.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBENQ4ghhjx
"Jay I don't know what to say" I say dabbing my eyes.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKF7fGdVcO9
"No don't cry, you'll only tell me you've ruined that makeup" he chuckles tearing up himself.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZhmDgoINV
"It's prom, and I wanted you to have something special" he says.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRemoTig4w
"I love you" he says and kisses my lips.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6gTHLyOSr
"Now let's go before I push you back onto our bed" he smiles
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFH1pKBX98d
"Jay" I say as he stands, he pushes his hair back and fixes his eyes on me.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQ2qbHm9pE
"I love you too" I say and take his hand.
