Taylor’s POV
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tq9WHmNBZ
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. I had been concentrating so much on not slipping on the marble steps but as I look out 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.

"Taylor" he says once I reach the bottom, unscathed.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWJwNAJ4DO
"You look incredible" he says softly, and his eyes watch my lips and travel down my dress. I blush uncontrollably, I will call any girl a liar that doesn’t get heady at a guy like Ross complementing her.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjkEU9Hl4i
"Thank you" I smile.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfcoIlBKRh
"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.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TmRNq3xlk
"Kat could you pass me the Prosecco" I say softly.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hh1zi5Mth
"Where is it" she says harshly and I fight my urge to hit her for being so bolshy and horrible.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmcnrkZjSy
Ross leans over the bar and grabs it, Kat scoffs and sips her drink, my Prosecco. I stifle a laugh. I'm not arguing with her. I watch Ross pours the remainder of the Prosecco into a glass and he maintains my eye contact. Honestly the way he is winding her up, I’m worried we’re not all going to make it to prom, she is seething I can feel her stare and I'm not even looking.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLxRt2RGpA
"There you go" he smiles setting the glass in my hands and stroking my hip. Putting some distance between us instantly so that she doesn’t impulsively chuck her drink at me. I turn on my heels and click my way all the way out of the vast hall noticing that the candles have all burnt out from my table and that all of the plates have been cleaned and placed in the kitchen cabinet. Footsteps behind me as I pass through the threshold and into the hall, I continue walking glass in hand until I reach the staircase and turn on him.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl35q05VvZn
"Ross" I say exasperated just short of shaking him to stop him from following me around and looking at me adoringly.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGwVfOdrp3
"Taylor" he smiles back at me.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKo2y3uBinS
"You're supposed to stay with your date, how is she ever going to like me if you do that" I say rattled imagining her getting angrier by the second and smashing up my bar.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrcAHuUU84
"Ohhh you don't need her to like you Taylor. I like you" he smiles softly, one fingertip brushing my waist.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIVHoQiuOm
"Stop" I protest softly.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8ZsJSyAtv
"You're my best girl" he says with his twinkly blue eyes smiling at me, and I just stare at him bewildered.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLzG5IJ1xi
"Help me up the stairs" I say giving in, he smiles and links my arm in his. We begin walking back up the winding staircase, joined at the hip.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7OZu6eFk7
"How do you ever get around this place" he chuckles.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsQ82SVY0g
"Oh stop it" I say back to him humoured.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqb03jQSD34
"Okay, on my best behaviour" he says slowing our pace and looking down at me.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6mW9ib194
"Unlike you showing me everything that I could be having" he whispers.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQ2FgvwIfi
"Ross, I did not mean to" I say back.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoOvDnTDk0
"I don't think I'll ever un-see that" he smiles.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPdljmzWRP
"Well I'm sorry" I laugh.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlwSvSRy6P
"Don't be" he says and our eyes meet again.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2biHBVL1g0
We walk down my hall and I wince hearing Rach going off at Matty. I roll my eyes at Ross and he just laughs.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOElXTke4g
"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.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WdpTDW7ES
"And you're hiding too from Kat" I say.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnG7Gjm8qR
"God she is draining the fun out of my evening" he laughs.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7E7Kdk32RD
"Why did you invite her then" I laugh.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLpwcOou09
"Just so that my date wasn't Matty" he laughs back.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYhiyfBJ5I
"Ross" I say softly
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf72lMfCSYA
"You have all of us" I say.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOmgf595FD
I head into the walk in wardrobe, Jay is just about dressed, Rach is fawning over Matty. Her long blonde hair getting in his face as she perches in his lap. I chuckle as he eyes me and Ross, a look of chagrin over his face. I promptly 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. Standing himself and eyeing Ross’ proximity to me.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHOi25dtW8
Deciding to put some more distance between Ross and I, I pace across the walk in wardrobe past the glass console table. Stroking one hand up the back of Jays tux as his eyes meet mine in the mirror.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3XYfNxVQT
"You look wonderful" I whisper and he smiles. He turns his body to me. Stroking my arms and looking into my eyes.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZgRZV1P8e
"You look absolutely stunning" he whispers. He plants a soft kiss on my forehead before lingering holding me in his arms.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADBRzfJLzI
"It's taking all of my restraint" he whispers in my ear as a wide grin stretches across my face.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yCaXUDxsm
"You are perfection" he says rubbing my back.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJv8MaDJhP
"Where's the limo at?" Rach demands and I look over at her stumbling already and being propped up by Ross. Jay pulls his phone out and places a call. I hear the dial tone and watch him taking charge.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09oCJ11kp7
"Twenty minutes" he says simply once he ends the call his eyes linger on me and he holds my body close.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWQvLwh3y1
"I'm going to set the alarm system now" he comments just to me. We have pretty top security, it’s important after the break in and it makes us feel more secure in our new home.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EqxYhXMH0
"Of course" I say feeling irresponsible for not even having thought about it.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJR6Bgg7XBR
The others begin leaving and heading for the stairs. Matty keeping Rachel steady as she stomps along in her heels.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2OgJLjb8A
"There's something..." Jay whispers slightly pulling my hand back as I turn to face him.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMF4Urqqkf8
"There's something I want to give to you" he says softly in my ear as he brushes bump just one with his hand.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjlOd7yBZk
"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.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCfmgd6PJ1
"Come" he whispers finally guiding me into our bedroom and sitting me down on the bed. He routes around in his blazer pocket and locates what he’s been looking for. Producing a small velvet black box before me.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyj9b2B0NTU
"I want you to have these" he smiles kneeling before me and watching me open up the box.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnPIorJJPL
"Jay" I say breathless once I gaze into the box and take in the diamond bracelet and matching diamond earrings. Glistening under the light. Sparkling like nothing else I’ve ever seen. I will be shedding light across the prom hall later wearing these.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWIgFRUgT1
"Here let me put it on for you" he says hoarsely.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwzJfgqeE0
"You deserve diamonds" he says admiring me as he fastens the links around my wrist. Jay rubs our baby bump with his palm and I smile placing the earrings in my ears.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiLpC0VZKw
"Jay, I don't know what to say" I say dabbing my eyes watching his hands on my bump and choking up.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGwTKQpKA7
"No don't cry, you'll only tell me you've ruined that makeup" he chuckles tearing up himself, moisture forms around his eyes and he wipes it away.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyfH0fCr3I
"It's prom, and I wanted you to have something special" he says.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5LxIKyZua
"I love you and our little baby” he says and kisses my lips. It’s enough to make me cry and I begin dabbing my eyes, imagining our little baby in the months to come being born.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsRRh9ekSD
"Jay" I say as he stands, he pushes his hair back and fixes his eyes on me. I place my lips on his delicately and then straighten out his collar.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfwZZKZCq6
"I love you too" I say taking his hand in my own and guiding him out of our lavish bedroom. Images of little blonde babies in my mind and how he will be the best daddy in the world. How he cherishes and loves us already.
