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.
42Please respect copyright.PENANA2iN9BItWac
I reach halfway down, we have a lot of stairs, and I look up from my feet. 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.
42Please respect copyright.PENANAIzl1dMeqwm
"Taylor" he says once I reach the bottom.
42Please respect copyright.PENANA7IttIlNNCt
"You look incredible" he says softly, and his eyes watch my lips and travel down my dress. I blush uncontrollably.
42Please respect copyright.PENANAQxJo8RM9Sb
"Thank you" I smile.
42Please respect copyright.PENANA0u2FS4yVd1
"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.
42Please respect copyright.PENANAOOAJroThRg
"Kat could you pass me the Prosecco" I say softly.
42Please respect copyright.PENANAvaagfAtdjq
"Where is it" she says harshly.
42Please respect copyright.PENANAFwHJxWszEK
Ross leans over the bar and grabs it.
42Please respect copyright.PENANALEd5zalZV8
She scoffs and sips her drink, my Prosecco. I stifle a laugh. I'm not arguing with her.
42Please respect copyright.PENANAPST5daK8RS
He pours another looking into my eyes filling up the glass. I maintain his eye contact. She is seething I can feel her stare and I'm not even looking.
42Please respect copyright.PENANATHOblyOdmK
"There you go" he smiles.
42Please respect copyright.PENANAISj7bcIbUR
I give him a weak smile and turn on my heel. Sure that she's staring me down as I walk away. I hear his soft footsteps behind me and as I reach the staircase I turn on him.
42Please respect copyright.PENANADYeLrttM2I
"Ross" I say exasperated.
42Please respect copyright.PENANAPynKGIXuV3
"Taylor" he smiles back at me.
42Please respect copyright.PENANAJQMs487iR2
"You're supposed to stay with your date, how is she ever going to like me if you do that" I say rattled
42Please respect copyright.PENANA0PDyu3NL4W
"Ohhh you don't need her to like you Taylor. I like you" he smiles softly.
42Please respect copyright.PENANA74hcJAxq8a
"Stop" I protest softly.
42Please respect copyright.PENANAbObLy1189K
"You're my best girl" he says with his twinkly blue eyes smiling at me.
42Please respect copyright.PENANALzDIgkP1zt
I just stare at him.
42Please respect copyright.PENANAhGqsBeYX0p
"Help me up the stairs" I say giving in, he smiles and links my arm in his. We begin walking back up.
42Please respect copyright.PENANAZSeOPjQSjQ
"How do you ever get around this place" he chuckles.
42Please respect copyright.PENANAiIK1xsCTzs
"Oh stop it" I say back to him humoured.
42Please respect copyright.PENANARnz7VVe6EG
He laughs.
42Please respect copyright.PENANAXndPrIbBdw
"Okay, on my best behaviour" he says.
42Please respect copyright.PENANAiVBahtTFmm
"Unlike you showing me everything that I could be having" he whispers.
42Please respect copyright.PENANAnt0Lgc0Io1
"Ross, I did not mean to" I say back.
42Please respect copyright.PENANAzWo2VElBzX
"I don't think I'll ever un-see that" he smiles.
42Please respect copyright.PENANAgcXkQwujJm
"Well I'm sorry" I laugh.
42Please respect copyright.PENANA2vP9pCbYLh
"Don't be" he says and our eyes meet again.
42Please respect copyright.PENANA77bk8uIjL4
We walk down my hall and I wince hearing Rach going off at Matty. I roll my eyes at Ross and he just laughs.
42Please respect copyright.PENANATP0UK61zH2
"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.
42Please respect copyright.PENANAc3Gad53q04
"And you're hiding too from Kat" I say.
42Please respect copyright.PENANAm6FkZgN6BZ
"God she is draining the fun out of my evening" he laughs.
42Please respect copyright.PENANAqVd3r3cwzi
"Why did you invite her then" I laugh.
42Please respect copyright.PENANAhDdo0b5IXu
"Just so that my date wasn't Matty" he laughs back.
42Please respect copyright.PENANA9P7ulv52uq
"Ross" I say softly
42Please respect copyright.PENANAhvXyEEEKGz
"You have all of us" I say.
42Please respect copyright.PENANAR88AhiNIJi
I head into the walk in wardrobe, Jay is just about dressed, Rach is fawning over Matty. He eyes us as we enter and I 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.
42Please respect copyright.PENANAjPuctd5ghI
I head over to Jay and stroke his back. He eyes me in the mirror and smiles.
42Please respect copyright.PENANAgotTJ9UNqa
"You look wonderful" I whisper and he smiles. He turns his body to me. Stroking my arms and looking into my eyes.
42Please respect copyright.PENANAgtxdbCRLFe
"You look absolutely stunning" he whispers. He plants a soft kiss on my forehead.
42Please respect copyright.PENANAKRyUbazy8d
"It's taking all of my restraint" he whispers.
42Please respect copyright.PENANAAU1PVn27MI
"You are perfection" he says.
42Please respect copyright.PENANAQyPxISTkzv
"Where's the limo at?" Rach demands.
42Please respect copyright.PENANAHrBIHYg7QJ
Jay pulls his phone out and places a call. He's so sexy. I just watch him, taking charge as always.
42Please respect copyright.PENANAXMVHz7K0jD
"Twenty minutes" he says simply once he ends the call.
42Please respect copyright.PENANAFg9ZoTzaeN
"I'm gonna set the alarm system now" he comments just to me. We have pretty top security.
42Please respect copyright.PENANAM3nOtP4dIX
"Of course" I say feeling irresponsible for not even having thought about it.
42Please respect copyright.PENANAagK8z4JitH
The others begin leaving and heading for the stairs. Matty keeping Rachel steady as she stomps along in her heels.
42Please respect copyright.PENANA7Vf6SHFzrA
"There's something..." Jay whispers slightly pulling my hand back.
I turn to face him.
42Please respect copyright.PENANAJt1rudoy8I
"There's something I want to give to you" he says softly.
42Please respect copyright.PENANAhmMRUhlbka
"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.
42Please respect copyright.PENANA9Ec6n20gFw
"Come" he whispers.
42Please respect copyright.PENANACkx5nyuWbb
We head back to our bedroom and he sits me on the bed. He retrieves a small velvet black box from the walk in wardrobe.
42Please respect copyright.PENANAT0EVC10s9Z
"I want you to have these" he smiles.
42Please respect copyright.PENANAyoKKMR65ni
He sits down next to me watching me open the box.
42Please respect copyright.PENANAEzlTdh0r46
"Jay" I say breathless.
42Please respect copyright.PENANAhpUPc52HFV
I look in the velvet box at a diamond bracelet and matching diamond earrings. Glistening under the light.
42Please respect copyright.PENANAVEECDlBHQV
"Here let me put it on for you" he says.
42Please respect copyright.PENANAkZcY3GgoXI
He delicately takes the bracelet out and wraps it around my wrist. I admire it and smile. How can I deserve this ?
42Please respect copyright.PENANAsuKv2Km5F7
"You deserve diamonds" he says admiring me.
42Please respect copyright.PENANAAoBS93hnY0
I take out the earrings and place them in my ears.
42Please respect copyright.PENANAabZ8aPTAV6
"Jay I don't know what to say" I say dabbing my eyes.
42Please respect copyright.PENANAy2oYgkzBtq
"No don't cry, you'll only tell me you've ruined that makeup" he chuckles tearing up himself.
42Please respect copyright.PENANAgqpthAIyzz
"It's prom, and I wanted you to have something special" he says.
42Please respect copyright.PENANAQBhbyZpxST
"I love you" he says and kisses my lips.
42Please respect copyright.PENANAFCudCyS7ji
"Now let's go before I push you back onto our bed" he smiles
42Please respect copyright.PENANAt0eML3gkiN
"Jay" I say as he stands, he pushes his hair back and fixes his eyes on me.
42Please respect copyright.PENANAjmtNOYXpBN
"I love you too" I say and take his hand.
