Taylor's POV
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGEINwjWs3
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.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPFAuP1guf
"You do ?" He laughs.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscKHZu0Gzv
"It's the open landscape, makes me feel like singing" he adds almost to himself.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JMeqoj6Ag
"And being here with you" he whispers stroking my thigh.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDhjtEcuaA
"It suits you, you're so relaxed and happy. And I love that for you" I say smiling.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZRoJ3UsC4
"What would I not have to be happy about" he says eyeing me up and down.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GS8FKBB25
"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.

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.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMXvUbSwGC
Jay following my eye line sees the guitar and looks back at me grinning.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvY1rGNEzLe
"See something you like" he smiles arms going around my waist as he guides me over to the guitar.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuE8gcCXLf
"It's stunning, I always wanted one like this" I say quietly.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sDdMU5dmx
"Pick it up" he whispers in my ear.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYKDuKiJN5
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.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCJiaKfubu
"Suits you" he says smiling.
I play a few scales, and my favourite song.
It's mine now, I've decided.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYDVrgmfBd
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.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Zwh1RqjGB
"This is it" Jay says as we approach a jewellery store.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORh3q0M7zw
We gaze through the window at the shining gold bands. All representations of eternity and forever.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphASwSSs29
"I'm drawn to one of them" I whisper to Jay.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rc7YKxHME
"Which one" he smiles and I point to it.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsuDNZhSfi
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.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAut0XICq0
"No it's perfect as it is plus my ring already has several sapphires" I say laughing slightly.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFkMkiS9ag
"I'd like it engraved" I say softly and he smiles guiding me into the store.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRu9rMTz3kh
Soft country music fills the store and an older gentlemen looks up as we enter. He smiles warmly and continues engraving.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkCPAKwisD
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.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSbMWz4Ypu
"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.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu95KH3tRl4
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.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerxxy2vI0q
"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.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUQntyDfd3
"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.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKAWJSihEz
"This is the one Jay" I say turning to him. He smiles at me with a broad grin on his face.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WCO1xhono
"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.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ROR24Tq1c
"May I try this one" he asks the lady next.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKFLmMiPCe
"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.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrExOyfwGPh
"That looks great" I say and he turns to me. A look of slight curiosity on his face and then alarm at the tears.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzV52HnCoE
"I'm sorry, I'm just happy" I say half laughing.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYxtjsHsXT
"It happens every time" the lady jokes behind the counter and actually it makes me feel a lot better for hearing it.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2gJNtlRni
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.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnioXVWK5ae
"It's a big plus that the bands you've picked are a great fit already" she comments whilst they're being engraved.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHyrcOtpWF
"It was meant to be" she smiles and winks at me.
I smile back warmly and Jay places his hand around my waist.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfeHDWNHSl
"All done for you" the man calls out from his tools.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uZfcDdkcA
We scoot over to have a look at our new wedding bands.
"Perfect" I say smiling.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbAqDx2hiy
Once we've paid and the rings are securely in boxes we head to the door.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcW5HdDSAtM
"Thank you" Jay smiles
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9vuqozJfc
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.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPonvJI8LZ3
"So Mrs Gilbert Scott what would you like to do now?" Jay smiles holding onto me as we're walking through the streets.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWslOGH3WcP
"Let's go hiking" I say laughing eyeing up the mountains just on the horizon.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhwAdLByVp
"Hiking?!" He laughs.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3aXhKjJX2
"Yes why not" I say laughing back.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uWpQw1gid
"Okay hiking it is" he says with a smile. He gives me everything. He gives into my every desire.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcOEHQa1wp
"But first food" he smiles pulling me to a nearby local cafe.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYkeiP5bi3
"Gonna need all of the energy we can get" he smiles and then he winks at me.
