Tuesday 23rd December 2014 (Jess & Barclay's 4 year anniversary)

*Barclays POV*

"You can take your blindfold off soon" I whispered into Jess' ear.

"Okay, but where are we? I've been blindfolded for hours" she pouted.

"Some where I've always wanted to go" I responded. I placed my hands on her shoulders. "You ready?" I asked.

"Ive been ready for hours" She eagerly replied.

"1,2,3" i spoke aloud.

"Oh Barc" she gasped, her hands flew over her mouth, her eyes grew wider.

"You like it then?" I winked.

"Barclay, we are in Paris, of course I like it" she screamed as she threw her arms around my neck.

"Good, because I've got a whole lot of surprises in store for you" I smiled widely.

"Oh really?" She smiled. My hands placed on her hips.

"Yes, the first one is in your hotel room" I smiled.

"What hotel room?" She asked, raising an eyebrow.

"That one" I called as I pointed to the hotel which stood behind her.

"It's beautiful" she called out.

"Just like my girl" I replied kissed her cheek.

"Your not coming?" She pouted.

"Nope got other things to do quickly" I quickly said.

"You've been abit weird? Are you okay?" She questioned.

"Yeah I'm fine, I've just gotta go see someone for the boys" I said rubbing the back of my head awkwardly.

"Okay, I'll see you soon" she smiled kissing my lips.

"Just go to the desk, they know your coming" I smiled before kissing her once more.

I remained still as I watched her cross the road before making my way down the street. I stuck my hands in my pockets and felt the velvet box. I inhaled deeply.

*Jess' POV*

I pushed open the heavy glass door and walk into the most beautiful building that I have ever come across.

"Excuse me, are you Jess?" A young lady dressed in a smart uniform asked.

"Yes I am" I smiled back.

"Here's your key, your room 32A. It's on the top floor and the second on the right" she beamed back as she pointed towards the lift. I nodded and went to locate the lift.

I pushed the button and began fiddling with the key that was in my hand. When the doors opened I nervously walked in. I wish I had Barclay's hand to help me right now. I took a deep breath and pressed the button. The doors clamped shut, causing me to jump a little.

Thankfully I was in the lift for no longer than 30 seconds.

I was looking at the numbers on the big white doors. This place looked incredibly expensive.

I finally found the door, my hands shook as I tried to put the key in the hole.

'Come on Jess, you can bloody open a door' I mentally told myself.

I turned the key to the right and I heard the door unlock. I took a deep breath. I stepped inside.

I gasped at the beautiful interior. The first thing I did was step over to the window. I opened the window slightly. I inhaled the French smell. I walked over to find the bedroom.

On the door was a note from Barclay.

'To my beautiful Jessica, I love you. There's a dress hanging up in the wardrobe, and a bath has been run. Be ready for 7, a car will be outside. All my love, Barc xxx'

I ran my fingers over his scruffy writing then pulled the paper to my nose. It smelt of him. I anxiously turned the door knob to find the most stunning royal blue dress draped over the bed. I walked over to it immediately and felt the fabric against my fingers.

I then walked into the ensuite, the bath was already done and filled with bubbles. Candles were lit everywhere and there was a glass of champagne on the side.

Could Barclay get any more perfect?

I stripped the clothes from my body and slid into the bath. My favourite raspberry shampoo was on the side too. I closed my eyes as I let the bubbles cover my body. The warmth soothed my aching muscles. I smiled as I thought of Barclay, but where the bloody hell was he?

I allowed myself to remain in the bath for an hour. This was much longer than normal.

I stood up and rinsed the suds from my body as I reached over and grabbed the white fluffy towel from the door. I wrapped it across my body before carefully stepping out and pulling my wet hair into a ponytail.

I walked over to the bed again and noticed a big red box. How come I missed this first time around? I lifted the lid to see a box filled with all kinds.

'To Jess, love Lex & the girls' I read aloud before pulling the first item out. Everything was individually wrapped so I didn't know what it was.

I picked a small looking item. I sat on the bed and began to pull at the wrapping. Clearly done by Chelsea, she's the only one who could wrap presents.

I pulled it out and laughed. A box of condoms, alongside the sticky note saying 'don't make the same mistake I did ;)' I laughed as I leant over and placed them in the left side draw, as that's Barclay's side of the bed. Because I'm always right.

After unwrapping everything I smiled. The box contained everything. Jewellery, my favourite perfume , shoes and some new underwear. Which I forgot to grab. Considering I was pretty much kidnapped this morning by Barclay. Lexi pretty much shoved my handbag in my hands and pushed me out the door. I should of known she had something to do with it.

I stood up and sipped another bit of champagne. I placed the glass on the side and pulled the dress infront of me. I admired my reflection. I couldn't wait to put it on and for Barclay to remove it.

I sat down at the mirror and began to fiddle around with my hair and make up. I kept it the same really. I did the same flicks on my eyes with my eyeliner and curled my hair. The only major difference was that I had bright red lipstick on. Barclay loved looking at the lip stains on his shoulders and chest when I wore it. I only wore it for special occasions and I couldn't wait to see Barclay's face when he sees me.

I held up the beautiful bra and knicker set that I laid out on the bed. It matched my dress, I loved the lace too. The girls got it perfectly, as I picked another one whilst I was out shopping.

I slipped the underwear on and admired my reflection. I placed my hands on my hips. I grabbed my black high heels and slipped them on too. I wanted to see what I would look like later. I smiled at the reflection. I felt absolutely gorgeous.

I pulled the soft fabric over my head and allowed it to fall down my body. I grabbed the strap and pulled it around my waist. I tied it in a small bow. The 'v' at the front was revealing yet suitable. I covered the thick straps with my hair. The slit that was at the front was sexy but without showing everything off. Barclay did well. I pulled out my phone and sent a snap to the girls.

I placed my essentials into my gold clutch bag and checked the time. I grabbed my shawl and headed for the door.

I waited for the lift, I began tapping the floor. Where was Barclay and what were we doing?

I finally reached the lobby again and stepped outside into the cool air.

There was a black car waiting outside. The young driver held up a sign, I smiled as I was assisted down the stairs by the doorman.

He whispered in my ear 'He's a lucky man' I replied. 'Im a lucky lady'

I glanced at the sign again. Written in Barclay's writing. Thankfully it was big otherwise it wouldn't have been readable.

'To My Princess'

The man opened the door and I stepped inside, pulling my dress up and sitting in the car.

He closed the door and I took a deep breath before he began driving. I began day dreaming out of the window at all the various attractions.

"We are here Madame" the driver spoke with a think French accent, thankfully I was able to understand. I reached for the door handle.

"No Madame, that's my job" he smiled before getting out the car and dashing to my side.

He opened the door wide and reached for my hand. I got out and looked behind me. There stood the Eiffel Tower, it stood tall and proud and was beautiful. I looked directly underneath it and smiled. There stood my gorgeous man. Dressed head to toe in a black suit. His shirt was black too. My jaw nearly dropped. He was stood holding a bunch of roses. I smiled and thanked the driver before making my way over to Barclay.

*Barclay's POV*

I could see her car pull up. My heart was beating heavily. My hands where becoming sweaty. I reached Into my pocket one last time whilst she couldn't see me. The box was still there. I sighed with relief.

She got out and my jaw dropped. She looked incredibly beautiful.

I was trying to remember how to breath as she began walking over to me.

"Bonjour Handsome" she called. I let out a small laugh.

Pull yourself together Beales.

"Why hello beautiful" I responded. "These are for you"

"They are gorgeous" she beamed as she took them from my hand and pushed her body into mine. She pulled my shirt down a tiny bit and kissed my neck. She then pulled the shirt back up.

"I know how much you like my red lipstick Barc" she whispered. "There's more to come later" she winked.

"Good" I whispered back.

"So what's the plan?" She asked.

"We are going on the Eiffel Tower" I shakily spoke.

"It's closed" she laughed.

"To the public" I replied. She cocked an eyebrow.

"You rented it out?" She asked. I nodded in response.

"Oh babe" she grinned before placing a soft, delicate kiss on my lips. God, this woman is beyond perfect.

"Let's go then" I smiled as I reached down to lace my fingers with hers. We walked over to the lift and got in.

I knew she hated heights, but with me she knew she was safe. Her petite frame clung off my arm. He face buried in my shoulder. My hand rubbing her back, soothing her.

As the lift stopped, I placed my hands over her eyes. Her hands automatically clamped onto mine.

"Trust me" I whispered.

I gently guided her to a small table, which overlooked the whole of Paris.

She gasped as I let my arms fall to her waist. She spun around.

"Barclay it's perfect" she kissed me.

I pulled a chair down and she sat down. She smiled as I did the same. I had to remove my jacket. I felt like I was beginning to suffocate. I had to ask her soon, before she clicks on.

The waiter soon came over and we ordered. I quickly downed the drink I had on the table.

"Barclay? Are you okay? Your acting weird" Jess laughed.

"Everything's fine" I lied. Inside I was shitting myself.

The band began to play soft, romantic music. Now was my chance.

"Care to dance?" I nervously asked as I stood up and held out my hand.

"I'd love to Barclay" she responded, placing her small hand on mine. I helped her around the table and pulled her close to me.

I placed my hands on her waist and she placed hers around my neck. We began swaying as the wind blew gently. I took a few deep breaths.

"Jess look over there" I called out as I pointed behind her. I fell to my knees.

"I don't see anything" she quietly said before turning around and letting out a squeak of shock.

"Jessica Marie Croft; I love you and always have. I want to be with you and only you. Your my whole entire world, I want to face all of life's challenges with you by my side. I want us to grow old with one another, watching our grand kids running around. Jess, I love you, will you do me the honour of marrying me and becoming Jessica Beales?" I said shakily as I opened the small velvet box.

"Of course I will Barclay" she cried. I slipped the ring on her finger and pulled her into a hug and kissed her check. I could now sit down and enjoy today with her. I sighed a huge sigh of relief. I can't believe I'm getting married to Jessica. Even though I knew it the very day I met her.

The dinner went by like a flash. I couldn't wait to get her back to the hotel and for once she was more excited than I was.

We got into the car and we were all over one another. It was so nice not having to be careful around Charlie or having Jake and Casey commenting and making sex noises. No distractions.

The drive home seemed to drag. But as soon as we reached the hotel I could barely control myself. I scooped her up and practically ran inside. She pressed the button of the lift and then began to kiss me passionately once more.

I placed Jessica down once we got out of the lift, she chased me down the hallway as I ran infront to unlock the door. I thankfully unlocked it before she arrived.

We both got inside and I slammed the door shut behind me. She chucked her bag somewhere and I threw my jacket over the sofa. She began walking backwards, slowly undoing her dress. She was smirking.

I needed to taste her lips on mine again. I pulled her close as she began pulling as my shirt. She was undoing the buttons quicker than normal. Our kiss was deepening in intensity. She slid my shirt of my back and I picked her up quickly before running into the bedroom. I placed her down and grabbed the waist of her dress.

Hoisting it up and discarding it somewhere. She kissed me gently before pushing my back onto the bed. She stood at the end of the bed, smirking. She unhooked her lace bra and threw it somewhere before clambering ontop of my body.

"I love you Barclay" she smiled as she hoovered above me.

"And I love you Jess, the future Mrs Beales" I smiled before she kissed me deeply again.
