When we enter the cafeteria I clock Jay straight away. He eyes me, and Matthew. I am still soaking wet, from the rain, I walk straight up to him and give him the biggest hug I possibly can. Clinging onto him like I never ever want to let him go.

"You okay" he smiles down at me breathless.
85Please respect copyright.PENANABNKqYRp2p4
"I love you so fucking much" I say.
85Please respect copyright.PENANAv0lqF8dVWG
"I love you too" he replies.
85Please respect copyright.PENANASnUHIcD5fR
"So fucking much" he adds.

"What's going on then. Spill" Rachel asks soaking up the atmosphere. Everybody is eating lunch, Jay hands me a bowl of pasta and I smile.
85Please respect copyright.PENANAllUsMQo6M7
I turn to her with a look of crazed excitement on my face.
85Please respect copyright.PENANAozTBMe8E4s
"Jay and I are getting married in a couple of weeks, you're all invited" I say not looking at Ross.
85Please respect copyright.PENANAb7VUpRTcBC
"I need you, for dress shopping. Plus you're my bridesmaid" I say laughing.
85Please respect copyright.PENANA3LycoPdyCy
"I'm only having one and you're it" I laugh.
85Please respect copyright.PENANA4j4Tva2Iie
Rachel gets up and embraces me in one of the biggest hugs I've ever received from her.
85Please respect copyright.PENANAJL9tY7XzZv
"Where is it?! Oh a July wedding! What am I wearing" she balls and I laugh sitting down next to Ross. I glance at him and he is taking it all well, smiling even.
85Please respect copyright.PENANA6yGJMcN850
"It's in Australia, I'm going to fly you lot out" Jay says sitting down opposite me.
85Please respect copyright.PENANAoVA3ajvyMC
"For real" Rachel laughs, ecstatic.
85Please respect copyright.PENANAwJWrIpS1HY
"I mean if you're all up for it? It would be easier to book the plane tickets if I know for sure" he laughs.
85Please respect copyright.PENANAZE58S8IN4E
"We own a place out there so I was going to suggest we all stay there" he adds.
85Please respect copyright.PENANA9n1x7k7YcR
I look over at him, smiling. I love that place, the gardens and the pool. The sun, the memories of our trip and how he proposed to me on the most beautiful pristine beach I've ever seen in my life.
85Please respect copyright.PENANAODDUFDUmxf
"Well I'm in and I'd be honoured to be your bridesmaid" Rachel says.
85Please respect copyright.PENANALY8IzSioK0
I smile at her, tears falling down my cheeks. It's been an emotional morning for me. I scrunch my hair up self consciously as it's drying off into waves. I remove my jumper which is soaked through revealing my camisole underneath.
85Please respect copyright.PENANA1iGdvLkT0u
"I'll be there" Matthew says smiling at Jay. He stands and embraces him.
85Please respect copyright.PENANAgMkqDwHdl4
I’m sure he whispers something in Jays ear but it's indiscernible from where I am seated.
85Please respect copyright.PENANAHXG2yynhhD
"Wouldn't miss it for the world" Ross says turning to face me.
85Please respect copyright.PENANAc8IwBmNfLE
He hugs me, I cry some more. So many happy tears. He nods to Jay which is the guy way of saying congratulations.
85Please respect copyright.PENANA2NZEyx0mjr
“I haven’t decided what I’m wearing let alone what you’re wearing” I laugh looking at Rachel. She smiles.
85Please respect copyright.PENANAW7R7b7wANg
“We can decide later” she says back.
85Please respect copyright.PENANAGf22OvlVhK
“What colours will coordinate with the place?” I ask Jay.
85Please respect copyright.PENANARAEdQjmy8e
“You don’t know where !?” Rachel laughs.
85Please respect copyright.PENANAUk9u7TLLuc
“Nope it’s a surprise” I smile.
85Please respect copyright.PENANAAnW2TA9SeX
“Wow that’s a lot of trust” she says.
85Please respect copyright.PENANAHrliPIvQCH
“Of course or I’m just crazy” I laugh.
85Please respect copyright.PENANA2RS4lUqHFa
“Don’t fuck it up” I say to him and he bursts out laughing. He sweeps his hair back and the smile returns, the one I’ve fallen in love with.
85Please respect copyright.PENANAOgTRzfsDRn
“Never” he smiles.
85Please respect copyright.PENANANgUEoZ8m77
“If I were you I’d wear white” he laughs at me. I practically stick my tongue out.
85Please respect copyright.PENANA8MVnBUUZUz
“Bridesmaid wise go for like pastel colours” he says.
85Please respect copyright.PENANAFbZA8VCr29
“Pale blue?” I smile.
85Please respect copyright.PENANA14Iu9DmRt0
“Would fit perfectly” he says and I stand and go and sit in his lap.
85Please respect copyright.PENANAY52D5RALWT
“July is warm in Australia by the way” he smiles looking at me.
85Please respect copyright.PENANAMftTntRqdD
“I’m going strapless that’s all you’re knowing about my bridal gown” I laugh, I’m also planning on extensive sexy white lingerie for afterwards.
85Please respect copyright.PENANALgiE1GNqU5
We finish eating and Jay rubs my thighs the whole time. Having explained the plans to Matty I’m feeling better about the whole situation. Not that it would have changed our plans, but just having that discussion has settled my mind and heart.
85Please respect copyright.PENANAKpd9iKiF32
I glance over at him and I smile at him genuinely. He returns my gesture and I look down at my food. We have psychology last, with Ross. And then I plan on meeting Rach for dress shopping and dinner. The guys are heading into town at the same time and I’m only assuming that Jay will ask one of them to be his best man.
