Taylor's POV
~past tense~
March
96Please respect copyright.PENANAzIDBDDF2kM
"So" Ross smiles over at me as I'm fixing the chicken ready for the pan. I gaze up at him casually as he rests on the side of the kitchen island. Ross pulls his hoody off to reveal a button up shirt and rolls up his sleeves.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAmUF79kKkbi
"What's new?" He asks and I feel like bolting as I continue to season the chicken. I still have not informed him that I will be moving out, and that our roommate deal is coming to a close.
96Please respect copyright.PENANA4TqRLAAA1w
"I've actually got some news" I smile sipping some wine as he chops the peppers and onions.
96Please respect copyright.PENANA9MOjAnOjMg
"My dance teacher is putting a word in for me at a dance company." I say deciding to go with the happy news first.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAVVWbjGMcMs
"Fuck that's big Tay" he smiles depositing the vegetables into the pan.
96Please respect copyright.PENANA5h6Pa0mPRZ
"So fingers crossed" I say, skirting around the other news I have. I stir the pan and think how to form my words.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAz79h7gEaVg
"Oh and I was going to wait to tell you but I wanted to let you know that I'm not going to be bothering you and getting in your way for much longer" I say and his face drops instantly. He reaches out for me and holds onto my hands.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAgq14kmV8IJ
"I love having you here" he replies softly and I smile weakly.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAA3XRxqwH0U
"Really?" I ask as he shots some brandy before pushing his hair back.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAG4CzefPcll
"Im sure that you'd like your space back" I add and he shakes his head.
96Please respect copyright.PENANA9WcSEFtj3p
"I’m going into dorms" I tell him almost nervously.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAwyAOYtkorO
"Wow okay, you'd rather be in dorms than stay with me" he says slightly drunkenly.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAqSLfHUbhjO
"No it's not like that" I smile over at him as he scoops out the chicken and peppers and places them in a serving bowl.
96Please respect copyright.PENANA54ryuOO9wU
"I just didn't want you to feel like I'm a total user" I tell him placing the tortillas in a serving plate.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAvEMEMOkldj
"I would never think that Taylor." He says genuinely facing me.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAam6R90dHO6
"I would... I just want... I need" he begins almost stuttering and I hug him before he cries.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAemhqqRS5dT
"This was only temporary remember" I say to him as Rachel bursts into the room clearing her throat awkwardly as I disentangle myself from him.
96Please respect copyright.PENANA7tyoloDzHM
"Foods ready" I say to her looking at the floor before he carries the serving plates into the living room. I allow Ross the space to walk ahead of us as Rachel watches me.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAKYox0sxoRp
"I'm moving into dorms" I say holding her back and filling up her glass and my own.
96Please respect copyright.PENANA8D6xV3quG2
"I had a chat with Matthew today" I begin and she rolls her eyes sipping her wine.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAudIytet2gm
"I cleared the air with him informed him that I'd slept with Ross, it made me feel awful. I kind of went on a date with Jay too. And Matthew laughed in my face basically telling me that I'm an idiot" I say to her and she gasps.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAEGmoNZ3M3o
"How dare he" she gripes and I almost smile.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAjI0HV20tJG
"You know how much that man has messed girls around! Myself included" she sighs.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAMZEpJugBod
"So being in dorms, would be better. I'm leading Ross on without knowing what I want" I tell her and she nods.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAAqOG6wQqKy
"He asked me to talk to you, gauge where you're at" she smiles, as I suspected. I've been giving him mixed messages, sleeping with him and then avoiding him.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAFzK3y6phcE
"It's Ross" I complain looking out into the living room almost longingly.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAgCZyFXkVl1
"He's too good for me" I explain looking down at the floor.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAF8RSi4CbS6
"We had sex without any protection and afterwards he practically told me he would stick by me should I get pregnant" I tell her and she smiles.
96Please respect copyright.PENANADOUFGCVsT1
"That's Ross for you" she says softly.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAtrdfsjrOLR
"Hey I'm in dorms though I hope you get put near me" she smiles broadly and I laugh, that would be truly wonderful. I hug her and she smiles.
96Please respect copyright.PENANABOZ6AU8e9m
"Ignore Matthew, the cheek of that man!" She says wiping my eyes.
96Please respect copyright.PENANA1ovHpJKyDC
"And be bloody careful of you know who" she says looking over my shoulder as Jay walks into the kitchen, alarmed by my tears.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAuESQsjTZ7U
"Taylor, are you okay?" He asks instantly and she scoffs.
96Please respect copyright.PENANA8pHhli6mOG
"Already dealt with by her bestie, mr tall blonde and handsome" she laughs walking towards the living room.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAaRWhrM6HvT
Fajitas alongside funny cigarettes goes down a treat, I'm only surprised that we don't get sauce all over the cream sofa or carpets.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAmeRU1Qk4CX
Ross lights up a second and hands me it first I take a long inhale and smile over at him.
"What are we watching" Ross says as I hand him another fajita he bites into it as I'm holding it out to him and I laugh.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAHoQRKbYHJ4
"My vote was pretty woman" Rach explains.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAmAjGBNB1I5
"Oh Lord" I say inhaling the cigarette again.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAsAPGQwV82y
"What about something scary" I suggest as Ross continues to flick through the television.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAl5Xdw4rd8w
"What is it with you and scary films" Ross teases me.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAN7tJDtfOQl
"I like them, they make me laugh" I say nudging him before passing him the spliff.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAXeKZyoJDMf
Because Ross cannot say no to me he picks a movie and sticks it on Rachel rolls her eyes and Jay watches me more than he does the movie itself. The higher I'm getting I realise that being intoxicated around him is literally such a bad idea.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAwcSy35yNT1
"There's a party tomorrow by the way" I inform Rachel winking at her and undoing a few of the buttons on my classic shirt.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAXCp1fkXkoo
"Oh I know" she smiles eyeing me.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAXBCNaPtDXM
"I cannot wait to see what single Taylor wears to a party" she laughs and I smirk.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAwAE6BeTCok
"Hey I'm going classy" I tell her as Ross strokes my thigh and Jay stiffens at the gesture.
96Please respect copyright.PENANA9eQr5LvS52
"You two don't monopolise her, I'm just getting a single friend" Rachel laughs.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAhtlIcGItCW
"What happened with Brad dare I ask" I inquire and she scoffs eating another fajita before taking the cigarette from Ross.
96Please respect copyright.PENANANtkxui6Zr9
"We just didn't work after all" she explains.
96Please respect copyright.PENANA8ixcSYhqcx
"Story of my life" she laughs.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAyeedWlVoQ0
"We broke up just before Christmas" she laughs.
96Please respect copyright.PENANA4CEnn2tKT8
"So you're late to that news, although I know you've had your hands full" she smiles looking at Ross.
96Please respect copyright.PENANALyTeKKoIhX
"Ah I'm sorry Rach, maybe we can both get lucky tomorrow" I say winking at her as she cosies up to Jay. He visibly flinches and I almost laugh.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAM5UsTX54ao
"Drink anybody?" I ask standing up in front of Ross as his eyes travel up to my face.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAHJ7kpmcAtp
"I'll help" Jay announces.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAWINJwjObHP
"Wine Rachel or something else ?" I call over my shoulder.
96Please respect copyright.PENANArOjrtym7G5
"Wine please" she smirks.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAqmPEZBIszs
Jay watches me pour the wine, intently as if he's waiting for me to finish the task before he takes over all of my attention. I set the bottle back down on the marble worktop, as his hands encircle me from behind. Pulling my body to face his. With such intensity he invades my mouth and I gasp.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAZiwUkdpwhN
"Get lucky huh?" He whispers breaking the kiss briefly.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAuAZuHap7Bu
"You know what I mean" I manage as his lips brush mine over and over again.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAZixihaKwKG
"Get lucky with who?" He whispers and I sigh kissing him slowly.
96Please respect copyright.PENANA35Q9sSb760
"Shhh, don't think because I'm kissing you all the time" I whisper running my hands up his back.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAgyXu5gdFk3
"That you own me" I tell him resting my hand on the back of his head. Smiling, he places his hands behind my neck and tilts my head back slowly.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAq75MEeLnTB
"Oh Taylor what I wouldn't do to own you" he whispers grinning before releasing my neck and kissing down my chest, moving the shirt out of his way as his lips cover my entire cleavage.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAfRG9u7Rynd
"You are gonna have to start doing more than that" I whisper, daring him to play with me.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAHJWMnmJbEW
"Oh yeah" he whispers back looking up at me. Planting soft kisses up my chest and over my neck as I close my eyes, my hands in his hair. Staring into my eyes when he reaches my lips, I take in the heat behind his stare and wonder. Wonder what kind of lover he will be, how he will charm me. I think about it for a few more seconds before standing back from him and swaying my hips all the way into the living room holding two glasses of wine.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAjaCvxSfNUY
"Here" I say to Rachel noticing how she's sitting next to Ross.
96Please respect copyright.PENANA6sbbi2wX8R
"Whose dead?" I say looking up at the film.
96Please respect copyright.PENANA17iBnBwwyL
"Ah I've lost track" Ross smiles and I can see from his eyes that he's high. He rolls up another and Rachel clings to him, wanting the first hit on the cigarette.
96Please respect copyright.PENANA3NC6P8Hgmw
Lying back on the sofa with my wine, Jay smiles over at me and I move closer to him.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAywb1QuLXzw
"Hey man, sleep here you're too high to drive" Ross says watching the film whilst rolling. I notice that he sits back and lights up, handing it to Rachel first as she smiles.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAyovSwbhdlz
"Same goes for you Rach" he suggests and she laughs.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAFa4T67q3fI
"Let's play a game this round, we're all single" Rach smiles.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAwyHh3DjruA
"Okay Rach truth or dare" I say playing along my hand on Jay's thigh.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAe84PB6ubBK
"Fucking dare" she says smiling.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAAHOkJvxNmI
"I dare you to down the rest of your wine" I say innocently.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAYeryv8KzuB
"Done" she laughs proceeding to chug the whole thing.
96Please respect copyright.PENANA7hjlwCEK18
"That was a full glass" I sigh laughing. I top her up and sit back down leaning on Jay his hands around my hips.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAS1AwPToX1q
"Ross your go" I say.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAPUeX5klkHE
"Truth" he replies and I sigh rolling my eyes at him.
96Please respect copyright.PENANA6vsMKR7Qtb
"Oh fuck I've got one, sorry Tay in advance" Rach laughs.
96Please respect copyright.PENANA2N5Al3OxgN
"Is it true you slept with Jen?" She asks but I already know the answer. Ross had admitted it to me, due to the bullying I suffered at her expense and the history we had.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAkMdB8GyAq2
"Ah man yes, I did" he says sighing.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAxTxTvDBUzZ
"I am but a man" he says as I feel Jay's hand under my shirt stroking me.
96Please respect copyright.PENANA8yCUzlWwPP
"Taylor, truth or dare?" Ross asks eyeing me.
96Please respect copyright.PENANA4YdxozItYG
"I'll take a dare" I say confidently.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAF92T311LDI
"No downing stuff though for me" I warn Rachel.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAnr3UFl2Wwu
"I dare you Taylor to take an item of clothing off" Rach laughs.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAVncPJFkk3q
"Why is it always me first" I whine unbuttoning my shirt slowly.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAAdPl57n3fy
"And you just want to see me naked" I laugh. She sighs and I stand up. Removing my shirt and standing in my bra. I stand in front of Jay, his eyes rake over my body as I sip my wine.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAD6Ac8W9hU4
"Okay Jay" I say sitting down next to him.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAU8nNd3yTFz
"Truth or dare" I ask.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAbo2bGfoAMx
"Dare" he says and I could have guessed that would be his response.
96Please respect copyright.PENANA4wV9vEF0Yw
"Oh that was confident" I smile over at Rachel.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAnHk5sBDXz3
"I dare you to tell us how many girls you've slept with" Rach laughs.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAx7HlPLJrtV
"Oh I wanna know actually" I say smiling as he puts his head in his hands.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAxvPEsX3pa4
"Fuck me, that's ridiculous. Right give me a minute" he sighs eyeing me whilst sipping brandy.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAdUBDTXwVm7
"That's not a good sign" I laugh, stroking his arm. We wait patiently as Jay works out in his head how many woman he has slept with.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAghxF7iMA6e
"My number is actually twenty seven" he says finally.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAOQQbNeVNVL
"Fucking hell man" Ross laughs almost spitting brandy everywhere.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAjmkJ0BKikN
"That's higher than your actual age" I sigh absolutely gobsmacked.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAXePlsjK2UV
"Okay next" Jay says wanting to move on swiftly, he mouths sorry to me and I sigh absolutely shocked. Jay has experience. A lot of it.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAez6CG8fv5i
"Rach" he begins pulling my body to rest on him. I yield to him and lay back.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAAqx8atJYPk
"Dare" she cuts him off as Ross puts on some music abandoning the film.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAv1nEOeaOrf
"Okay I dare you to kiss Ross, passionately" I say smiling. There is no hesitation as she turns to him and kisses him.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAHIWlAGjXoJ
"Right Ross you cannot say truth" I say when he can breathe again.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAKEI2Ycfzpr
"Oh I like single Taylor" Rach laughs.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAx9TehJAy3G
"Okay I dare Ross to take his top off" Rach smiles before he can even respond.
96Please respect copyright.PENANANskLViK43t
"I like your chest" she says and I wink at him. Watching him remove his shirt briefly before finishing my wine.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAySq490CmIW
"Okay Taylor, you wild child your dare will be" Rach laughs pausing deliberating.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAkmw9uh3rWr
"Come on, I've kissed everybody here" I say and regret it.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAfG7QRYChPQ
"You two have kissed!?" Rach says looking at Jay.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAhuyBusnfY1
"Yes we have" I say laughing.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAix70mo5LLz
"Okay your dare is to get on his lap and make out with him." Rachel says her eyes twinkling as she sits on Ross' lap. He steadies her as she's pretty wasted.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAn4tPjsg2QO
"And then you're going to be telling me all about the two of you kissing" she smiles.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAqaTGtSVyGj
Climbing on top of him, I look into his eyes as his fingertips settle on either side of my hips. Slowly, I lower my lips to his and kiss him. He gives me his all again like he did in the kitchen and I gasp slightly stroking his hair. I pull away and bite his lip. His hands go up and down my waist line, then settle on my hips which I'm moving into him.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAruHqPV9bdX
"Okay" Rach laughs.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAQy1ZV2Jk4m
"That will do" she interrupts as I sit back down next to him wishing that it would never end. Ross clears his throat as Jay gets dared to take his top off.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAjX1H3rVHW0
"So you have kissed huh" Rachel laughs eyeing Jay.
96Please respect copyright.PENANA7gOvDbHVPp
"We've kissed yeah, at parties and stuff" I say vaguely as she raises her eyebrows. Ross eyes me curiously and I look away too quickly. When it comes around to my dare again I ask for a truth instead.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAHqtzD7PBdn
"I've had the most dares" I defend myself as Rachel gasps.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAvUP0anr1fQ
"Okay what's your number then" Rachel asks and I laugh.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAebKXsa0cfw
"You know exactly who I've slept with" I laugh and she rolls her eyes.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAzMIYq6Cb66
"Oh I'm not so sure" she smirks, most likely believing that I would just have sex with Jay on a date. We haven't, we're taking it slow.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAxezw4XohKm
"Just two" I say clearing my name as Jay snuggles into me and I laugh.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAXBxHachTbp
"Ever in my life, what's yours" I ask abandoning the game.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAJ69gcO4skI
"Mines actually three" she smiles over at me, and I chastise myself for thinking that it was higher.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAC2zDJyDa8T
"Matty, Jay and Brad" I ask and she laughs nodding.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAN5NtLGNLOM
"Matty and Ross" she asks me back and I nod.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAeb83LqduTP
"Ross what's yours?" I ask him interested.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAuBlrGH6Sro
"Two" he explains softly and I gasp unable to hide my shock, this means that Jen took his virginity. The horror.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAmqOUqV5wfP
"Jen and Taylor" Rachel clarifies.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAC9mJKxjbWd
"Yes" he says clearly standing up and grasping a blanket for Rachel. We finish the cigarette before I begin tidying up. Looking over at Rachel falling asleep I get the giggles and smile at Jay as Ross goes to put the dishwasher on.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAV2Pl88ooO5
"Jay you want a blanket?" I laugh at him climbing into his lap.
96Please respect copyright.PENANA6u31xVn0Yr
"Fuck off" he smiles and I gasp at his language, slapping his chest lightly.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAVfuIMsIWOl
"You can top and tail with me" I tell him laughing and he winks at me before I climb off of him. He watches me shocked that I'm leaving him.
96Please respect copyright.PENANA9ncSkt4ovu
"Well you did just tell me to fuck off" I laugh.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAEJ0Sfm76hT
I help Ross up the stairs to his bed as he's overdone it. I take off his jeans and pretty much tuck him in smiling. Noticing Jay in the doorway as I turn around his arms crossed across his chest.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAbYsLCqUinJ
"You could have helped me" I laugh walking over to him.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAUqsNm6wFSn
"He's heavy you know" I say.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5ZmAInTso
"Sorry I was distracted by you leaning over him in nothing but this" he laughs grasping my skirt. We close the door on Ross who is snoring and I take his hand and guide him into my room.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAbErbZBfeov
Closing the door and eyeing my little room I take a deep breath before unzipping my skirt. Feeling his arms wrap around my waist and his head rest in my neck. I breathe in deeply quivering in his arms. Staring out of the sash window at the gardens and the roses as he kisses me. He releases me and I let the skirt fall to the floor. Climbing up my wooden bed all the way to the top where I pull the linen cover around me. His eyes sweep over me, standing at the end of the bed, in just his jeans. He pushes his hair back and wanders over to the window, opens it up as I shiver. His strong forearms holding onto the white frame as he plucks a rose.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAfDcg85fENh
Taking a seat on the side of the bed, my body yearns for him as he faces me and passes me the white rose he plucked.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAyGWQzDKhNr
"Thank you" I giggle.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAFmKcqesxCS
"You're welcome" he stands and pulls his jeans off, wordlessly climbing under the covers facing me. I let go of the rose and put my hands on his chest as he smiles.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAXbn0WugWjX
Pulling my nightshirt from under the pillow, I go to place it over my head and he shakes his head.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAb0XZInP547
"Please sleep with me like this" he says softly when he sees me reaching for it. His thumbs tracing around my waist as he unclips my bra.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAOqvForgbUJ
"I won't try a thing, I just want to hold you and feel your skin against mine" he whispers.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAepkuZWR8UW
"Without sounding too creepy" he sighs.
96Please respect copyright.PENANABJwqvcdNNP
"That's not creepy at all" I laugh pushing the nightshirt away as his arms hold onto me in the moonlight. I never shut the blinds, the moon usually glows directly into this room and besides there are no neighbours to look in.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAB7WCSrF3e2
"I think I'm in love with you" he whispers before kissing my forehead.
