Like all things we enjoy in life, they come to an end. And that's just something you have to accept. I liked the spa. I liked being in our own little utopia. I liked being away from our friends, temporarily. And I loved being with Jay, and just Jay without interruption. It was like being at the lake house again. Us time.

Now we're driving back to cherry tree having stopped off several times for food and toilets. Approaching cherry tree I've decided will not remind me any more of Jacob and the pain I feel in my body from him. After all we cannot just buy a new mansion every time I have a bad experience. This is my home. This is my sanctuary and it will not be ruined by him.

I still haven't switched my phone on. I'm not willing to, in fact I might push it off until tomorrow at university.
18Please respect copyright.PENANAR4mu9mUpmw
We drive through the grounds and I take in everything around me, the trees and the sound of the birds. The smell of honeysuckle and freesia. I look at Jay he's pushed his blonde hair back scruffily. He looks all man in his blue jeans and white t-shirt. I sigh, he's wonderful.

As I glance at the large circular water fountain I tell myself that I'm not ignoring the fact that I've just been through something truly horrible, I am just choosing to see the good in my current situation.

He parks up and heads to get my door. I don't necessarily wait for him to get there but I don't rush either, I like to give him his moments. Deep down Jay is romantic. He doesn't hide it, he enjoys making me feel loved and adored. And he does it well, so very well.
18Please respect copyright.PENANAJkRQOcOMMo
We head into our place, cherry tree and I mentally erase the events of the last couple of nights from my memory. No more thinking about it all. I sigh and head into the heart of our place. The kitchen.
18Please respect copyright.PENANAhDAppur2UJ
I whip up some olives and pasta and make Jay a coffee. He waltzes in from unpacking the bags and looks at me smiling.
18Please respect copyright.PENANAyHYeMYgubO
"Let's be honest" he smiles.
18Please respect copyright.PENANAk4ONRZWAU2
"You're the best wife anybody could ever ask for" he says picking up an olive and feeding me it.
18Please respect copyright.PENANALBCRUMf1pS
"Ohhh and you're the best husband I could ever ask for" I smile feeding him some pasta.
18Please respect copyright.PENANAvuBkHuaJyr
"You know I can actually plate it up rather than us feeding each other from the pans" I smile.
18Please respect copyright.PENANAWbXaKUyOGe
He kisses me, a slow kiss. I melt with him and he chuckles.
18Please respect copyright.PENANAgRsB7tQTqB
"If you must, but I do love feeding you" he says and he grabs a forkful of pasta placing it in my mouth.
18Please respect copyright.PENANAW7pSFAH2LH
"This is good pasta" he says and his cheeky grin shines.
18Please respect copyright.PENANAmeWohrky3J

"Arrabatia sauce" I say and he laughs.
18Please respect copyright.PENANAAiH4sS1fjx
"I used to come in and eat pot noodles" he laughs and I believe him remembering the contents of his fridge in his apartment. Beer, and leftover pizza mainly.
18Please respect copyright.PENANALhm7dU9GVS
I plate up the food and his arms go around me. I grate some padana cheese on top. And we eat together.
18Please respect copyright.PENANA87JNCx9KnA
By the time Jay is loading the dishwasher I'm half asleep. I'm learning through pregnancy, that babies require lots of food and lots of rest.
18Please respect copyright.PENANAi4xl2ZBhom
"If you don't feel up to uni tomorrow" Jay begins and I look up at him.
18Please respect copyright.PENANAufyPnF4tPd

"We're getting married next week" he whispers in my ear.
18Please respect copyright.PENANALZU5VTgLM6
"Mrs Gilbert Scott" he says and I smile kissing him.
18Please respect copyright.PENANASQ91WJWdwn
"Why don't we go in for like two days and take the rest of the week off" I smile.
18Please respect copyright.PENANAoYohRaCCno
"That could work. Then we can give the others their plane tickets" he says.
18Please respect copyright.PENANAHKFOsrjBXy
"Let's fly out earlier" he says softly.

"I can work with that" I laugh.
18Please respect copyright.PENANADyJ8nKfDQy
I mentally make a list of things I can do to prepare for the best day of my life; I'm thinking a nice spray tan, hair treatment that kind of stuff. Maybe another massage. I quite liked those, I could get used to that.
18Please respect copyright.PENANAXkGGWJkJlg
"Stag do is when" I say looking at him.
18Please respect copyright.PENANACF17f5G2Mg
"Friday night" he replies.
18Please respect copyright.PENANAr6IiHL7hmY
Rachel has planned a hen do, I'm worried about the whole thing. It is Rachel and she's most likely booked a stripper.
18Please respect copyright.PENANAy7lRDo21Qv
"Matty is sensible you'll probably just end up drinking whiskey on the beach watching the sunset. Rachel however" I laugh.
18Please respect copyright.PENANAyKnuCMunXZ
"I feel for you" he laughs.
18Please respect copyright.PENANAvC8jPkadoK
"She’s crazy" he laughs.
18Please respect copyright.PENANABXJrKrHqUw
"I'm going to book some beauty stuff for Thursday ready for the big day" I tell him. We've stayed in Australia together, and I know the area now.
18Please respect copyright.PENANAuYyljc9R4n
"And don't worry I will rein her in" I say looking at him.
18Please respect copyright.PENANAykAseEbumn

18Please respect copyright.PENANAK7Q2ivYWDX
He kisses my lips and I lose track of my thoughts. Jay playfully lifts me up and I wrap my legs around his waist. He carries me upstairs and I giggle.
18Please respect copyright.PENANAFHuF04zCci
“You know that I can walk” I laugh.
18Please respect copyright.PENANAyzvZXBxJjV

18Please respect copyright.PENANADRkw3ETF81

18Please respect copyright.PENANA6GJcK9ClGx
He lays me on the bed and hovers over me. One arm either side of me.
18Please respect copyright.PENANAVG164aoxft
“How lucky am I to marry you” he whispers looking into my eyes.
18Please respect copyright.PENANAfjU9hamZFa
I grin and he smiles. He kisses down my neck and chest undoing the buttons on my shirt I watch him.
18Please respect copyright.PENANAN8Hcjsmgcu
“You’re perfect Jay” I say to him softly and he looks up at me with his blue eyes.
18Please respect copyright.PENANA7rvcKxNPLT
“So perfect and I’m very lucky” I say.
18Please respect copyright.PENANAkBlp0BfoDI
“Non tu es la personne parfaite” he mutters softly and begins kissing down my belly.

18Please respect copyright.PENANAUEkrc1GonQ
Inevitably we make love to each other again. He cherishes my whole body, making sure he pays attention to each individual part.
18Please respect copyright.PENANAFnHXq0JS3w
I fall asleep satisfied, in his arms. Dreaming of only him and our life that we’re going to make together.
