Taylor's POV
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeYriwrs2j
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.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ivRejBvHO
"You do ?" He laughs.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQ0jICL7z8
"It's the open landscape, makes me feel like singing" he adds almost to himself.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNXKqvthuw
"And being here with you" he whispers stroking my thigh.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj97GIOKjDt
"It suits you, you're so relaxed and happy. And I love that for you" I say smiling.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fUgMTYuZG
"What would I not have to be happy about" he says eyeing me up and down.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRA3pd5lon
"I have the most perfect soon to be wife" he whispers and I full on blush.

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.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7i8DvYF18q
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.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqp0fJqwKM
Jay following my eye line sees the guitar and looks back at me grinning.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfHw0P41fc
"See something you like" he smiles arms going around my waist as he guides me over to the guitar.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxsZfievgU
"It's stunning, I always wanted one like this" I say quietly.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweyMLYMorF
"Pick it up" he whispers in my ear.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxHZsY73ZW
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.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjlY6zvEX0
"Suits you" he says smiling.
I play a few scales, and my favourite song.
It's mine now, I've decided.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMO5OAdkeQf
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.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeB1R7maPei
"This is it" Jay says as we approach a jewellery store.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxMUtHcDxa
We gaze through the window at the shining gold bands. All representations of eternity and forever.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKEzo1Krh2
"I'm drawn to one of them" I whisper to Jay.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGH69grZU1
"Which one" he smiles and I point to it.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39nzuUXKNf
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.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEA1E0wUrw
"No it's perfect as it is plus my ring already has several sapphires" I say laughing slightly.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvp2QB3mrx
"I'd like it engraved" I say softly and he smiles guiding me into the store.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QnUXLWTu1
Soft country music fills the store and an older gentlemen looks up as we enter. He smiles warmly and continues engraving.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjJ2zuqnvN
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.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvMCd5wGFQ
"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.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqCEt01syB
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.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSo2Gpa4KT
"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.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGqEicGMtB
"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.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcg0D6P38qg
"This is the one Jay" I say turning to him. He smiles at me with a broad grin on his face.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8K6RHEN1e
"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.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyt19BZRbQP
"May I try this one" he asks the lady next.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8xZ82bq3k
"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.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23vOo8Q29k
"That looks great" I say and he turns to me. A look of slight curiosity on his face and then alarm at the tears.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6QAq65DtO
"I'm sorry, I'm just happy" I say half laughing.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7dKrptJ8M
"It happens every time" the lady jokes behind the counter and actually it makes me feel a lot better for hearing it.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgE0gvdHys
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.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFKtp6Bima
"It's a big plus that the bands you've picked are a great fit already" she comments whilst they're being engraved.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmiBszsTg4
"It was meant to be" she smiles and winks at me.
I smile back warmly and Jay places his hand around my waist.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjFouciHUg
"All done for you" the man calls out from his tools.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWnYnaHfyW
We scoot over to have a look at our new wedding bands.
"Perfect" I say smiling.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsk2mQscbyk
Once we've paid and the rings are securely in boxes we head to the door.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Hle57lnGf
"Thank you" Jay smiles
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDp2xvXoov
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.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4Xm3pvO4y
"So Mrs Gilbert Scott what would you like to do now?" Jay smiles holding onto me as we're walking through the streets.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLxq2C0sGS
"Let's go hiking" I say laughing eyeing up the mountains just on the horizon.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMWKe8ALVo
"Hiking?!" He laughs.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY97M48uh5V
"Yes why not" I say laughing back.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCCYiJt6Vt
"Okay hiking it is" he says with a smile. He gives me everything. He gives into my every desire.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4R34QrB1P
"But first food" he smiles pulling me to a nearby local cafe.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9KgyY3Cwf
"Gonna need all of the energy we can get" he smiles and then he winks at me.
