Yes a deep blue one

I step out of the shower, I did miss sharing one with Matty. I put a mask in my hair, I want it looking it's best. I mean when you're standing next to a boyfriend that looks like a model you've got to try right?

Having moisturised and put on my perfume, so happy I brought it here from home I put my robe on and work on my makeup. I'm not normally big on makeup but tonight I'm wearing it all. I go for the lot, making sure my foundation is good I apply some bronzer and highlighter. Next I fill in my brows and do a Smokey eye with winged eyeliner. Because the eye is quite a statement look I go for a peachy nude lip. I notice Matty is showering and getting ready himself.

My hair is pretty much dry, the mask has done its job and it's looking great even before I deal with it. I brush it out and use my curling wand. I briefly laugh at Matty's reaction to curling wands. I go for loose waves, my hair now reaches way below my chest. I love it long. I don't think I ever want to cut it. It smells like peaches and cream because of the hair mask.

Now it's my favourite part, we're leaving soon and I start to get dressed. I put on the new bra first, the black and red one. I feel like a new women. It's really pushing everything in the right direction. This one comes with a thong and a suspender belt. I finish it off with my hold ups. I check it out in the new long mirror Matty got me. Even I'm shocked by how great it looks.

Of course Matty takes that moment to come into the room, a towel draped around his waist. He looks up as he enters and completely freezes. That good huh I think and chuckle.

He pauses just taking me in, I swear he's actually lost for words. It's such a compliment.

"Damn we have to leave soon" he tells me

He approaches me and puts his arms around me.

"Fuck what are you doing to me, how am I going to be able to sit there and not touch you" he says in between kissing my neck.

"You can touch me a little" I wink at him.

He chuckles and we continue to get dressed, me first as I catch him just staring again. I'm gonna have to do this to him more often. I slip into my emerald dress it's fitted tight to my body. Next thing I know he's behind me doing up the zip slowly. I thank him. And turn around and kiss him.

"You look incredible" he says

"I mean like crazy good" he says biting his lip.

"You too, you're gonna wear a shirt though right" I tease him.

"Cheeky of course I am" he laughs

I sit back on the bed and decide to enjoy watching him dress. I slip my shoes on and I notice he approves of those as well.

Matty is wearing a button up shirt it's dark green, he decides to coordinate with me. The colour matches his eyes and suits his complexion. He wears some smart looking jeans which are the perfect fit on him.

I stand up and put my hands around him whilst standing behind him.

"I love you" I tell him and mean it.

"Mmm that's nice. I love you more babe" he tells me.

Matty grabs his wallet and keys from the side he smiles looking at my new potted plant next to them, I sling a long jacket around me and we head out.

It's already dusk and he puts the lights on, it gets darker and darker as we approach the country lanes because of the lack of light coming though the trees.

"Remember the first time we came here babe, it wasn't even that long ago but it feels like years ago" he says to me smoke in one hand and driving with the other. I'm just waiting for him to pass me the cigarette he always does.

"I was so nervous, Matty." I laugh. And like always he hands me the cigarette. He rests his now free hand on my thigh. He glances at me quickly before focusing back on the road.

"Nervous why? Babe" he asks

"Because Matty you're super hot, and you used to be kinda standoffish" I chuckle

"I was nervous too. Actually I spent the day before choosing jeans just for that occasion, I never normally do that shit" he chuckles

"That was my first ever date, Taylor. Believe me I was nervous" he adds seriously.

We drive along through the trees I now remember from last time only it is darker this time around. I'm wearing my ring. And it is shimmering in the moonlight. I love it, I often just gaze at it. It's special and I haven't seen one like it.

We take the sharp left up to the pub. I had told Rhea all about this place and she was intrigued. I hope she loves it just as much as I do. When we park up, I'm in awe yet again. The pub is lit up in the dark and I see the rose gardens are decked out with small fairy lights. They make the gardens look magical and I couldn't be more happy that we came back here, and in the dark.

We step out of the car together, and I smell the flowers and roses. Rhea comes over to us as they have just arrived too.

"This place is like a fairytale" she comments smiling and clearly as taken in as I was.

"That was a sharp left" Malachi laughs talking to Matty who agrees with him. I'm literally taken aback seeing Matty genuinely laugh and have a joke with Malachi. He pushes his brown hair away from his face, he looks genuinely happy. He catches me staring at him and winks at me when nobody else notices. Lord I love him so much.

We all go in, I watch Rhea as she takes in all of her surroundings. We're seated again near the back inside the glass terrace. Looking up you can see the moon and stars. When you look out the windows you can see the lanes of roses with the fairy lights and lamps illuminating the gardens.

We order, Matty of course goes for his steak again, Malachi joins him. Rhea tries the lasagne and I go for rotisserie chicken. We also order bread for the table and a jug of water. Matty doesn't drink and orders a Diet Coke with Malachi. Rhea and I share some Prosecco. After half a glass I feel like I'm on a high. I watch Matty joking along with Malachi, they really get on which is an added bonus.

"So what's new bestie" she asks me, eyes glittering

I'm so glad, we did this. I've missed her so much.

"I spy with my little eye a rock on my best friends hand" she laughs

"Ah yeah, well Matty took me to this place and we saw this ring. And he got me it as a present" I tell her.

I show her it on my hand.

"That's so you, it's beautiful. It's a sapphire right?"

"Yes a deep blue one" I tell her.

"I very much approve. It's stunning like you" she laughs. She nudges Malachi teasing him and we all laugh including Malachi who takes it as a joke.

Matty sitting opposite me, looks at me and holds my eye contact for a minute smiling.

Our mains arrive.
