Taylor's POV
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yAU8Hy0kq
Something strange happens when we park up at the front of the lake house, almost unheard of in the middle of a Californian summer as we giggle scrambling out of the open top car and the rain begins to sprinkle down onto us. He closes up the roof lifting me up into his arms in one swift motion as he jogs up to the front door. I kiss him irresistibly as the rain sprinkles over our faces and he laughs. Leaving our items in the boot as the rain hammers down and he places me onto the sofa, stepping out of his trainers as he hoovers over me. I begin undoing my dress which is now damp as I pull it over my head and let it fall to the floor.

Jay unbuckles my sandals slowly, his damp hair falling over his forehead in loose blonde waves. Wordlessly he pulls his chinos off letting his shirt hang open after he’s placed my sandals down on the floor.

“Can’t believe it’s raining” I murmur as he moves on top of me. The sash window showing patterings of rain and droplets of water trailing down the glass.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIeVfWlaZz
“Oh god” I murmur in his ear as he moans pulsing in between my legs.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5yXsnTZjZ
“Mmmm” he manages as a crash of thunder sounds outside and I giggle feeling him engulf me.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYWTjXB8eu
“You’re the best thing that’s ever happened to me” he whispers as I smile seeing a flash of lightning illuminate him above me.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBv3Nx9gUfh
“You’re the best thing in this whole wide world” I smile up at him and he giggles briefly.

It's a miracle we ever manage to get anything done I think idly holding him in my arms after we’ve made love of the couch. Our clothes scattered around the floor as the rain picks up a little and he breathes softly on top of me.

“I’ll load the car with our suitcases” he whispers looking down at me as I rub his back.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3xM92RZrD
“Do you need any help” I whisper to him.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUrRvVtLLF
“Not at all” he winks before standing up and pulling his boxers on.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oFQShXpDK
Pulling his shirt on, I walk through to the grande hall into our kitchen set on cooking him a steak, he would eat steak for breakfast, lunch and dinner if he could.

Frying it up to medium and setting it with a peppercorn sauce before I settle on making him some dirty fries. I plate the lot up and place it on the large oak table before walking over to the wine chiller.

"I need to tell you" he says sneaking up behind me arms going around my waist. A wide smile spreads across my face. My Jay.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQub6FZVALa
"That seeing you in our kitchen with nothing but my blue shirt on cooking dinner and drinking wine is the best sight I ever saw" he smiles and nuzzles into my neck. I always thought I was fairly average looking. Not to Jay. His eyes look over me and with anybody else I would be self conscious yet with him I feel beautiful and I can feel his desire.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2vEA8tgT4
"It's ready" I say turning to face him and feeling his embrace around my body. He smiles and I eye his chenille jumper and jeans realising that he has prepped himself for the journey later.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78aEUiF2a3
"Thank you baby" he smiles proceeding to take a seat at the table.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfPztH6SEV
"No problem my love" I tell him and we eat together. I never find our silences awkward. We are content in each others company. He still cannot keep his hands off of me, even for steak. One of his hands is resting on my bare thigh.

My phone buzzes breaking our serene silence and I glance over at it. A message from Matthew illuminates on the display and I place my cutlery down giving it a quick read.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI94HjDh5Rv
Tay, I hope you're okay. Please let me know. I just wanted to be there for you, regardless of the consequences. I'm sorry either way for fighting with Jay. I hope you know how much I care for you, M xxx
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVQWG1TqDW
"It’s Matty" I announce to Jay and he looks up carefully. A measured expression on his face as he considers what to say.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsckCULzUf
"He says he's sorry" I add slowly placing my phone down.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcOCIDeAtu
"Yeah it's my fault too" Jay sighs.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNw29tJCnGu
“I shouldn’t have fought him” he explains cutting up his steak.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWo7HrcgCty
“Have you told him we’re going away for a bit” I ask inquisitively.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvDUJVZKjp
“No we haven’t spoken at all” he announces and I feel guilty about ruining their friendship. I watch him sip his coffee, he is driving to the airport later and will have a drink on the plane instead.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpx4KP0gBR
“You’ve been friends a long time” I say in a measured tone as he finishes his food and looks up at me.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRezmifPzrk
“That’s not something I want to ruin” I tell him.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKwAirOnHI
“Taylor nothing is ruined, Matthew and I fight it’s all good” he chuckles.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3qmg65BUc
“However no more fighting” he adds hastily flashing me his best charming grin before he grasps the plates and cleans the kitchen. I watch him quietly deciding whether to message Matthew back.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSwiKKef8D
“Here” he says interrupting my thoughts as he pulls his phone out.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNl2ULkF1i
“I’ll tell him we’re away, on holiday.” He smiles placing the phone to his ear and waiting for the call to connect. I watch his easy grin as they talk on the phone and he explains that we’re visiting Australia for the break. He nods along to the conversation and I feel my worries disperse.

Jays POV
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtI9DYjChm0
Taylor has fallen asleep on the sofa. Watching movies with her wrapped around me after what has been the best day. We are making memories and enjoying each other’s company.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfga2C6gXs2
It’s fairly evident that she is worried about Matthew, with him still messaging her and standing up for her at every opportunity that arises it’s not hard to see why. However with our bridges mended and Matthew and at least pretending we are still good mates that will all stop. I will not be the person that is a problem in this whole situation and so when I say no more fighting I mean it.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEZjHVYcSO
Briefly I look at her asleep in my lap and marvel at how I’ve managed it all, imagining her in Australia with me tomorrow laying in the sunshine by our pool.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIP8O0fAuL
"Baby" I whisper whilst stroking her hair back.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1kA68iBE9
"Jay" she says softly.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuTko3lAJF
"It's time to get ready" I whisper. She pulls me on top of her and I smile kissing her lips.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUp3DhvEw8L
"I've packed the car. We've just got to get to the airport" I sigh as she deepens the kiss and I give into her my hands rubbing her hip bones under her leggings.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFItUNWiu9
She chuckles breaking away from me and gazing into my eyes. What did I ever do to deserve that look of admiration from her?
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSgCXSHJKt
"I love you, let's go get lost together and start our lives" I whisper stroking her face as she stares back up at me in the firelight. A wide grin spreads across her lips so I kiss her delicately again.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKwnd9Qjoh
"I love you too" she replies.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSawcPFSZup
"Let's get lost" she says smiling.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADfpKmt0XA
And just like that our lives are our own, full of a sense of adventure. And with Taylor by my side, I do not intend on losing her to anybody. Not even the likes of Matthew James Henderson.
