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.
19Please respect copyright.PENANAMltmloZ7Lu
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.
19Please respect copyright.PENANAWQd4Rcb4EC
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.
19Please respect copyright.PENANASNKyrkbKw6
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.
19Please respect copyright.PENANABAa2W5xf0X
I whip up some olives and pasta and make Jay a coffee. He waltzes in from unpacking the bags and looks at me smiling.
19Please respect copyright.PENANAQc99tlUdos
"Let's be honest" he smiles.
19Please respect copyright.PENANAOcysuQTUTq
"You're the best wife anybody could ever ask for" he says picking up an olive and feeding me it.
19Please respect copyright.PENANAPCWa12118R
"Ohhh and you're the best husband I could ever ask for" I smile feeding him some pasta.
19Please respect copyright.PENANAXloMrWgKNT
"You know I can actually plate it up rather than us feeding each other from the pans" I smile.
19Please respect copyright.PENANA2XmECbGFlh
He kisses me, a slow kiss. I melt with him and he chuckles.
19Please respect copyright.PENANAakE2qDTDBx
"If you must, but I do love feeding you" he says and he grabs a forkful of pasta placing it in my mouth.
19Please respect copyright.PENANAzGjbQjbd8n

19Please respect copyright.PENANAAoZUd7niL8

"Arrabatia sauce" I say and he laughs.
19Please respect copyright.PENANAKxqHiiQry4
"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.
19Please respect copyright.PENANAm7j7LZxFRk
I plate up the food and his arms go around me. I grate some padana cheese on top. And we eat together.
19Please respect copyright.PENANA99tm8Yhqqa
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.
19Please respect copyright.PENANAVlDoQcOKwy
"If you don't feel up to uni tomorrow" Jay begins and I look up at him.

19Please respect copyright.PENANA1XYQ6prK9M
"Why don't we go in for like two days and take the rest of the week off" I smile.
19Please respect copyright.PENANAv7DnLmNvUV

19Please respect copyright.PENANAUniLmKkBVn

19Please respect copyright.PENANANWQundHq4J
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.
19Please respect copyright.PENANA59BQqociTA
"Stag do is when" I say looking at him.
19Please respect copyright.PENANAcZgZd4nUd4
"Friday night" he replies.
19Please respect copyright.PENANAbTJyDN4vLS
Rachel has planned a hen do, I'm worried about the whole thing. It is Rachel and she's most likely booked a stripper.
19Please respect copyright.PENANAKw5Z7YkfTm
"Matty is sensible you'll probably just end up drinking whiskey on the beach watching the sunset. Rachel however" I laugh.
19Please respect copyright.PENANA9ohSBsre7j

19Please respect copyright.PENANAoVzqEjQQfC
"She’s crazy" he laughs.
19Please respect copyright.PENANAuBVQqGRMwT

19Please respect copyright.PENANAmfW1p3waJT
"And don't worry I will rein her in" I say looking at him.
19Please respect copyright.PENANAklkBf3Inuj

19Please respect copyright.PENANAaq9ri6XeJU

19Please respect copyright.PENANAZoqSKU7AI0
“How lucky am I to marry you” he whispers looking into my eyes.
19Please respect copyright.PENANApR0NZVC37z
I grin and he smiles. He kisses down my neck and chest undoing the buttons on my shirt I watch him.
19Please respect copyright.PENANA7tFouA7OpY
“You’re perfect Jay” I say to him softly and he looks up at me with his blue eyes.
19Please respect copyright.PENANA6K3OBQH7QF

19Please respect copyright.PENANA8bC1IzBVdZ
Inevitably we make love to each other again. He cherishes my whole body, making sure he pays attention to each individual part.
19Please respect copyright.PENANAQG9mK4LxMV
I fall asleep satisfied, in his arms. Dreaming of only him and our life that we’re going to make together.
