Matty's POV
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeGVr9qkm1
"Really you're going to upset my pregnant best friend" I say annoyed with her. And her stupid red hair and piercing green eyes. She looks at me defiance in her body language. Winged eyeliner that's far too much for her dainty face.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjUmtvCrhg
"I didn't do a thing." she snaps exasperated with me.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjAypFiAKr
"Unbelievable" I say frustrated, I push my hair back and walk away from her. Back to Taylor. Back to the woman that needs my attention.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUaBXt7B9e
"You know" she calls out and I ignore her.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyy5D7EQ2S7
"Im not interested." I say huffing and walking away as she pursues me. I'm hoping she doesn't push me further, I'm already wound up with Jay returning.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRiPpaY9Im
"You are, or you wouldn't make such a meal out of being around her when I'm present" she says, and I feel my jaw clench just ever so slightly.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIU84iSAiEb
I turn on her, anger rising, I can practically feel my blood heating up. I face her and she looks shocked. My hands curled into fists, it's frustration. I would never harm a woman.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaN0Mmb1YA
"You think that's making a meal out of it!" I say sourly.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuQYHLEW9x
"I slept with her all night long" I say, uncaring about what she might think. So what if she thinks I'm having sex with her. Her expression turns from shock to utter horror.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNo3XHL4xCy
"I slept with her because I can and it has nothing to do with you, you just work here. You don't even know me so give me a break" I add before turning on my heel. Not wishing to witness her smirk at my childish reaction.

"You're a fool" she whispers and I know she's upset.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3mmpT809g
Walking towards the suite, the stench of disinfectant and hospital food invading my nose. I push the door open, my eyes search for Taylor first.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYZuezi7jt
Locating her brunette hair and slender frame, I relax perceptibly. Breathe in and out again. Ross is asleep and with her back to me she strokes his face. I long for her hands to be on me. Whilst he's out of it, I approach her from behind and wrap my arms around her. She relaxes her head back and sighs.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuNpnoY2P8
"How did it go" she whispers. She means Olivia, and I need Taylor to get it into her head that Olivia is just a nurse, an employee. Not a potential girlfriend.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUUosnBm4L
"Not well, I'm sorry she made you upset" I say softly.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjVhk3Obkk
"It's just that they always hate me" she says in a small voice.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TTAAtTVUZ
"Jealousy" I reply softly.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPexDtIp1E6
"Jealous or not I'm always the problem right" she says.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuicFHqXJug
"You're not a problem" I say defiantly.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3n6jSFxKgY
She sighs and takes a seat. I head on over to the flatscreen and turn it on low, cursing Olivia under my breath for ruining my morning. Some stupid gardening programme comes on and I channel flick until I get to the movies.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPsLSbTX0Z
Having located something to watch I take a seat next to her. It's most probably the fanciest hospital suite I've ever seen, I knew Ross' mum was well off but I didn't quite consider private suites at hospitals with flatscreens and sofas. That's altogether more of a Jay thing.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6Sm0Yp1mx
When I consider my own social standing, really I don't fit in with my friends. Taylor and I are similar, having upbringings that didn't consist of private jets or flying choppers. Having multiple cars and in Jays case multiple boats and houses too.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KL3goPAey
Myself and Kim, my sister, were lucky to go away on holiday here in the states. Let alone fly abroad. I glance at Taylor, and she's watching me not the movie.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosPTDfGcdf
"What are you thinking" she says genuinely interested.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HVQpfMJ7Y
"I'm just thinking this is a fancy hospital room isn't it" I laugh. Keep it light Matthew, let's not make Taylor cry again.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPgivQhKte
"It's pretty fancy" she laughs back.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8Z73dp6Tf
"I never even went on holiday as a kid, like hotels were a big deal for me" I laugh.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bNEt9ZSEE
"My mum used to take us to the beach and stuff but we never stayed" I say softly.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6KG6xPGoe
"Me too" she reflects.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sRihtgpqr
We sit quietly for a few seconds and she lightly brushes my arm with her fingertips.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gbEmW5pOh
"I want to make something of my life" I say before I can stop myself. Whatever happened to not being too deep?
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXxj0x6xHs
"Yeah" she says looking up at me through her lashes.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGrm517JZg
"Yeah" I reply.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOZ3WJ42tu
"My dad left. And I want to be there. You know? Like a nice little job, weekends away. That kind of thing" I say dreaming up cottages and lord knows what else with Taylor.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡborXAOFeGb
"What would be your job" she asks playing along with me.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuV9M3qsTKD
"Me? I would be like working in a little art shop that sells artist stuff one that also has events and stuff. Or I dunno general labour, I can lift stuff, mend stuff, fix stuff" I laugh.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYynd9yu4Qf
She chuckles and rests her head back.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOd3Zky9jM
"What would your house be like" she asks gazing over at me.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPBK3fHnBb
"Cottage. Rural near a forest" I smile. My idea of heaven.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5kjnJ4imr
"Little white picket fence and all, two kids running around the yard." I say getting carried away and she smiles.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrVXO9F9U1
"You know, you're in all of my little dreams. I can't help it. When I think of them and the future, you appear" I say and she blushes.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fBGGD4wmd
"Two kids, house and one on the way" I smile brushing her hair back as the door opens. Rachel enters clearing her throat and I raise my hands in a gesture which says I'm not doing shit.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ntHnZOFzM
"How are we all this morning" Rachel says and Taylor looks over at her smiling.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloacc7tAcy
"Great Ross has physio today" Taylor says sitting up.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNizEuolvq5
"Ohh it looks like he's really ready for that" she laughs watching him sleep. Taylor laughs and I commit the sound to memory.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNnG5pfjub
"Tay wanna go grab some food" Rachel says giving me the eye. The girl hates me, what can I say? I played her around for long enough. Women forgive but they do not forget.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjvxBjEP1I
"Course, what would you like Matty" Taylor asks me smiling.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXMEu3grYB
"No don't worry about me" I say to her and she giggles.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtDwxsg88a
"Bacon sandwich?" She says looking at me.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUWgp2FqhF
"Bacon sandwich it is then" I smile back wanting to kiss her before she leaves, but not being able too.
