Jay's POV
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL28AOXVOrB
Rachel bundles into the house and I sigh, time alone with Taylor finished for another evening. I nod at Nate as he passes by. He shows me a bottle of brandy and I smile at him. Rachel sounds off to Taylor before she even enters the kitchen, going on about the dresses before she's even seen them.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEYW0nd5z5
"They're going to look great don't worry" Taylor calls out and I smile knowing the look of reassurance she will have on her face.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1NEDftCjw
When I enter the kitchen Rachel is already pouring out the Prosecco and rummaging through the boxes that they ordered. The dresses are hanging upstairs, Taylor insisted on that, but she won't let me see her dress until she is in it. I'm intrigued. As always she will look amazing and way out of anybodies league.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaCt8uqADq
I glance at her now, my T-shirt hanging off of her, it reaches her mid thigh and I imagine my hands underneath it, just like they were earlier. I look over at Nate who is lounging on a stool, gaping at Taylor. Her hair swaying down her back as she's cooking. I don't blame him of course, I've been there. All the same he turns to face Rachel and smile encouragingly at her as she pulls out different bottles of tan.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVOJ6br7n9
Setting my hands upon two glasses I retrieve the brandy from him. Pouring him a neat shot and one for myself as Rachel clasps her hands excitedly and it makes me jump.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVZ1LlCxv5
"Okay let's see these dresses" Rach says gushing over the new items.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTglTi98Zt
"Sure go have a look" Taylor replies serving up food. She takes a step back and pulls her hair up into a long ponytail. I fantasise over pulling her hair. Amongst all of the other things I do to her.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWBxtV8oKb
Taylor places the food in front of us and I smile at her brushing her thigh as she passes me. I'm not entirely sure if she realises the sex appeal that she possesses. She must recognise how much other guys stare at her. She had quite the effect on Ross this morning when she got off of my bike. I have to keep him in check, and I'm doing that by being present in our relationship and maybe a touch clingy. Laying on the PDA. I hope she realises just how much I will be touching her tonight.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjomLD1hXU
She sits down and eats with us and we all hear Rachel bundling down the stairs, talking before she even gets to us.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKouenCIoi
"Taylor that dress is.." she begins gasping
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9AX6vaMn0
"Shhh. It's a surprise" Taylor smiles at her and rubs my thigh.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7g73lYnmU
"I think you're gonna like it babe" she whispers to me.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKr3Ta3KGQT
I smile back at her.
"Can't wait" I say winking at her.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlcRqsCcMh
We finish our food and then she kisses me leaning over me as I'm sitting at the table. I want to pull her on top of me right here right now. Teasing she pulls away smiling. And the girls head upstairs.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvRutjucF1
"Jay" Nate says after a while, I pour out some more brandy and look over at him.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cT0NzlOhG
"You are one lucky motherfucker" he laughs as I scoff. Taylor is exceptionally beautiful, I decide he was there last night at the dorm house and a quick investigation into Matthew's behaviour would be beneficial.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5t1AQvam0
"Thankyou" I begin smiling into my brandy as he rests back in the velour dining room chair watching me.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7585OSL9U
“Taylor is pretty much the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen, I’m very lucky she chose me” I smile looking up at him.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZTD3YAses
“What is up with that Matty dude?” He scoffs slightly drinking his brandy as I smile keenly. Just exactly how I wanted the conversation to go.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcI373SOfRU
“Honestly I don’t know they have a history she left him and now he’s well…” I begin looking up and waiting for him to finish my sentence.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZj0rcvIG8
“All over her like a rash” he says and I nod waiting for more.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4hJUCpaOl
“He’s intent on her?” I say subtly and he laughs.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeJRQ11fMn
“He looks at her all of the time. Man he practically might as well of asked her to go home with him last night” he sighs and I nod knowingly.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZFxvjRjw4
“I got that feeling when I arrived yesterday” I add and he nods moving the conversation onto university and the gym as I retire into my own thoughts. Telling myself that I must keep myself in check tonight, that means no punching anybody, not even Matty. No comments, no scraps and certainly no fighting. My hands will remain on her all night long. I've lost count of the number of times Matty and I have scrapped with each other, hit each other and hospitalised each other even.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjk2ERSgwPI
That cannot happen tonight. It will not.

Taylors POV
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6KyFwZYrn
Rachel and I head upstairs to mine and Jays room. She marvels looking into the bathroom as we go. She rolls her eyes at me and I wait for her comments. About the views over the lake, this wing of the property has outstanding views over the water.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wA1Ac1R8Z
"It’s got one of those freestanding baths and a walk in shower almost the size of my bedroom" she exclaims looking over at me briefly as I push the double doors open to the master bedroom.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJ5At89rfR
"Jay's bathroom not mine" I say smiling.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHBJjcmhDA
"Yeah and he's really seriously into you Taylor and even that isn't cutting it" she begins and I can feel a lecture coming. She stares at me intently and I almost laugh.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaatri1Q6X3
"He never ever told anybody about this place or himself, or anything Taylor. And all of a sudden you're living here together. Riding on the back of his bike which nobody has ever even dared to touch" she scoffs.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzLUHi6kHh
"May as well marry him" she says eyeing up the four poster bed and rolling her eyes slightly.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1p6ePnBs1
"Ohh shh and get ready" I sigh as she winks at me.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGtKu9TkiW
"I'm showering first" I stick my tongue out like a sister would to her sibling if they were arguing. Leaving her in the four poster bed I take myself into the en-suite and sample the new body scrub. It does a fantastic job of prepping my skin for the tan that I apply after my shower.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWchFsOJlix
I enter the bedroom glowing in my bathrobe as Rachel jumps in the shower and I set to work on my hair. I’ve opted for a seriously bouncy blowout tonight and once my hair is successfully voluminous, I set upon mg makeup. Sitting at my dresser and giving my skin a glow to match my tan.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBUVUoTf2c
"Okay I need you to do my eyes" Rach smiles looking at the smokey eye I’ve managed to pull off.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqoW2r9cGd
"Sure" I say rummaging in my underwear draw for the pair of suspenders that Jay loves. Sheer lace top and shiny, the tops of the them will be on show through the extreme slit in my dress but that’s exactly the look I wish to achieve.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFFAvXkpwI
With my black floor length gown hung up I position myself on the stool next to Rachel and create her eye makeup using a palette. She smiles when I’ve finished and I retire to the dressing room to slip into my lingerie and dress. The soft sheen black gown glides on with its figure hugging shape and low back, I turn in the mirror and marvel at how it looks. Before slipping into a pair of very high louboutins and getting my small Chanel purse.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLh91Vz9tv
“Gorgeous” I say stepping out of the dressing room as Rachel turns in her white gown. It’s short, mini in length and long sleeved. The ruffles look nice on her as she gasps standing in her nude heels eyes appraising my dress. Placing in some hoops she swishes her straight hair and smiles.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOdACAqeLn
"Here let me take a picture by the view" I add getting my phone out and positioning it to capture her and the lake in the background.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmmmo6cxtz
"You seriously need your picture taken in that dress" she explains and I protest but give in to her wishes. Standing before the window and waiting for the picture taking to be done.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaASFlkCeMO
"Taylor smile you look incredible" she states snapping up several. The nerves in my tummy rattle slightly as I grab my purse and think of the messages I haven’t read on my phone from Matthew. I’ve ignored him since last night and the prospect of being around him all night is making me more than nervous. It’s actually not my wish to create a scene or to cause a fight and so I decide on checking them before we leave.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuym7muVPpH
"Okay you go down" I say to Rachel as she looks up at me with an odd expression coming over her face.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaqcxUJJu7
"Pour me a glass, I’m right behind you" I reassure her.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTVOBky4d5
"Taylor" she says as she's leaving in her high heels.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5scb2rbwC
"He's in love with you" she explains softly casting a look over her shoulder before she leaves.
"Don't ever doubt that" she smiles and then disappears down our staircase. I briefly wonder how she's going to stay upright in her heels before looking down at my messages.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGO0J8qUPe
'Tay, I'm sorry for moving in on you I just, I'm in a place where we're still together, where I'm in love with you. Like you left and my mind and heart stayed in the same space. I truly hope you are happy, in whichever decision you make. I will always be in love with you, please know that whatever I do you are at the centre of all of my decisions and what is best for you. I know that we were supposed to be together. I love you, Matthew x
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJMA7C0Fbr
My eyes travel over the entire thing and I can almost hear his voice declaring his love before I close the message and swiftly place my phone in my purse. I believe him, I can feel how he feels about me and I can't change his feelings. Gazing at the jewellery box on my dresser and imagining the ring I have still in my possession, how it sits on my wedding finger and how I could just glide it back on at any moment. I was set to be his wife, I think idly before grasping my phone and sending him a message.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPTSt3nPN8
'Matthew I understand and I’ll talk with you later’. I reply keeping my message brief and concise. I don’t tell him that I’ve been re-reading his letter that is crumpled in my jewellery box or that I’m still processing our demise as that would give him the wrong impression.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yirgH5Jdm
I head downstairs in my gown after spritzing myself with perfume. Jay is in his best clothes, a clean pale blue shirt which he still manages to look insanely cool and rugged in. Rach is currently staring at him whilst being held by Nate. She isn't totally over Jay, I know that much.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6tw4UmOc1
Briskly I head into the room casting my eyes over Jay, watching him look up and seeing an expression I didn't anticipate. Awe, devotion and lust flitters over his face and he is speechless looking at me. When I reach him he takes me in his arms his hands brushing my back as he looks down at me in wonder.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMaVODpOa4
"Taylor" he whispers softly as I gaze into his eyes.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0zaeeHkzq
"You look..." he begins looking over the dress again.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLYGC7EaNI
"Out of this world" he smiles before kissing me, his lips travelling down my bare neck.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeC4J6IVxj0
"How am I ever going to fend them off of you now" he chuckles in my ear and I giggle.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWUEaeNxlv
After staring at me for a few more seconds he tells the others that the cabs on its way. I face Rach watching her looking at Jays arms around me, the way his hand brushes my back lightly.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlw8tp2H4Jk
"Told you" she mouths silently and I wink at her. I dare not look at Nate.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3h8MMXEj0
"Who's coming tonight" Nate says and I resolutely look up at Jay. He stares back into my eyes.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBoJvdGEJi
"Everybody" Rach sighs and I briefly pull my eyes away from Jay.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPzNWbmMx9
"All of our lot; Ross and Matty" she explains without any hesitation as she sips Prosecco.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQmcEuijBK
"Rhea and Malachi will be there” I add and she nods.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hB4wjTT2E
"I texted her yesterday to be sure" I say, excited to see her again, it's been an age.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyair1kHiSt
"Justin, Stiffy, Brad" Nate adds and I look at him finally his eyes are watching me closely.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TuJiDpubi
"Jen, Pippa, Ryan obviously" he says slowly as I attempt to shove aside my anger and snide comments at the prospect of seeing Jen, she was the guess downfall to mine and Matthew’s relationship. Causing me a very public argument at Ryan’s in front of everybody.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtc2B9AX8u0
"Oh what a lovely reunion" I add as Jay rubs my back and I relax again.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwZ2YdCnWY
"That reminds me my guitar" I say going to grab it. I walk to the storage cupboard and retrieve my acoustic and bring it back in.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGW0LAR5uBj
"Who's he anyways" I hear Rach say when I join them all again.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfXI1qo5Fd
"Josh? He's the captain of the team" Nate says bigging up this new guy they're all discussing.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMaHAdp8JC
"You'll spot him, big guy. Dark hair, tan. I think he's the best rugby player we've had ever" he adds boastfully.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1ZsfzQMak
"Sounds like you’re a fan" Rach quips and I giggle.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzuOH9GjMI
"Josh is an alright guy actually I've spoken to him in the gym before. He's pretty into his sport" Jay adds for perspective and I look at him.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdjEAA1ytb
"He's a second year like me" he clarifies before looking down at me hesitantly.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCZOP79WCs
"We've fought before not gonna lie" he laughs.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnMeNCwayL
"Won't be happening again" he sighs.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5E3pVa05H
"Cabs here" he says quickly and I follow him out. Wondering about Josh and why he's never been mentioned before. I wonder all about the reasons they could have fought before and draw up my own conclusions.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIsiaLyR0p
Jay puts his arms around my waist in the cab and I stare ahead briefly seeing Nate watching me again. I look up at Jay and he kisses me and smiles.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeBnotslHG
"I love you" he whispers.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TvHQV4Ww8
"I love you" I sigh and rest my head in his chest.
