Taylor's POV
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqw9D3A7QE
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 Land Rover driving off road through the fog with his arm rested on the door frame, 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 since we've been in the wilderness.

"I love your voice" I say and look over at him as a smile stretches across his lips.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXdCkmEVFF
"You do ?" He laughs.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1akFhVVkM
"It's the open landscape, makes me feel like singing" he adds almost to himself.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZiOj9qO5y
"And being here with you" he whispers stroking my thigh.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixTdYFYAhP
"It suits you, you're so relaxed and happy. And I love that for you" I say smiling.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NOx0FVPvx
"What would I not have to be happy about" he says eyeing me up and down.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtc52Wh5Tu
"I have the most perfect soon to be wife" he whispers and I full on blush.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsdQzDqVm5
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.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfku9LXZU3l
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.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsnLUoCSnQ
Jay following my eye line sees the guitar and looks back at me grinning.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVclkW5ITu
"See something you like" he smiles arms going around my waist as he guides me over to the guitar.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44nNNmUMfa
"It's stunning, I always wanted one like this" I say quietly.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbNs02wNOV
"Pick it up" he whispers in my ear.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2Rb9QiSz5
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.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ985Vz4MPrd
"Suits you" he says smiling.
I play a few scales, and my favourite song.
It's mine now, I've decided.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKbZyq3tMs
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.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqQYhij3W1
"This is it" Jay says as we approach a jewellery store.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MvoqxBzCd
We gaze through the window at the shining gold bands. All representations of eternity and forever.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEBNEOZlrg
"I'm drawn to one of them" I whisper to Jay.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00NnrM9p4g
"Which one" he smiles and I point to it.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvqBNAV3G8
It's a simple white gold band, yet everything about it is exquisite.
"It's engraveable, no sapphires though" he tells me smiling looking down through the panes of glass at me.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARHu3W5icU
"No it's perfect as it is plus my ring already has several sapphires" I say laughing slightly.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWBxgOIpps
"I'd like it engraved" I say softly and he smiles guiding me into the store.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfftLeKmRE
Soft country music fills the store and an older gentlemen looks up as we enter. He smiles warmly and continues engraving.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDoqmqr7Li
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.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtEJ04A0Pd
"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.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcp674nv9XL
When she returns Jay has found a ring that he likes too which is similar to mine but chunkier. More manly and very him. I see his eyes twinkle as he ogles it.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPWYrUQLRl
"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.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDuNa9l0G5
"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.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBZF4UYBeq
"This is the one Jay" I say turning to him. He smiles at me with a broad grin on his face.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfBiPLgukG
"Perfect." He says inspecting my hands, checking the size and how it fits perfectly upon my finger. He smiles before kissing me and then turning to the lady behind the glass counter.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcddk021lwb
"May I try this one" he asks the lady next.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6eA03wmDt
"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.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNc4ApZUDTL
"That looks great" I say and he turns to me. A look of slight curiosity on his face and then alarm at the tears.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMYaRJjub1
"I'm sorry, I'm just happy" I say half laughing.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOxQlRPma2
"It happens every time" the lady jokes behind the counter and actually it makes me feel a lot better for hearing it.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZ7vN1xgUC
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.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqXYxfexCF
"It's a big plus that the bands you've picked are a great fit already" she comments whilst they're being engraved.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifRzwaR1YM
"It was meant to be" she smiles and winks at me.
I smile back warmly and Jay places his hand around my waist.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0kqO4J7tZ
"All done for you" the man calls out from his tools.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHfzfXcFS1
We scoot over to have a look at our new wedding bands.
"Perfect" I say smiling.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnUZ8zNxm2
Once we've paid and the rings are securely in boxes we head to the door.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgvhRv7m8R
"Thank you" Jay smiles
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzCZaIM4hp
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.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9W1sHgjI69
"So Mrs Gilbert Scott what would you like to do now?" Jay smiles holding onto me as we're walking through the streets.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3n0hhHNRh
"Let's go hiking" I say laughing eyeing up the mountains just on the horizon.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XqRNfPfte
"Hiking?!" He laughs.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEnFs2ZYfN
"Yes why not" I say laughing back.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1kbBgxD3B
"Okay hiking it is" he says with a smile. He gives me everything. He gives into my every desire.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsZyF2GeTQ
"But first food" he smiles pulling me to a nearby local cafe.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4IB99NCVl
"Gonna need all of the energy we can get" he smiles and then he winks at me.
