Taylor’s POV
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcce9uO8tG
“Mom” I call out as I return back to the house, Matthew in tow. He put on a button up shirt and some chinos. Not a bad boy leather jacket in sight. No smoking either he told me, he doesn’t want to smell like a delinquent. I laughed telling him my own father used to smoke and he smiles sticking to his guns. It’s clear he wants my mom to like him, and with a smile like that he really has nothing to worry about.

“Taylor, in here” she replies and I guide him down the hall through to the kitchen. I look back at him and he smirks as I give him a reassuring smile.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzOdafJdDd
“Oh hello” my mother laughs as I walk in with Matthew. Shes a tad shocked, perhaps I should have pre warned her. She smiles all the same, her hair pulled into a plait today.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9HkEGnFB8
“Well that was good timing I’m just making some lunch” she smiles at him, I glance at the lasagne in the oven and smile warmly at her.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdGSFp03GX
“Matthew this is my mother” I say to him and he smiles genuinely.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYvANZpImz
“Mom this is Matthew my ugh” I begin and he chuckles.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcfImLMvnl
“Her boyfriend” he finishes and I smirk at him, gazing up at him briefly before taking a seat on the wooden table set.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNi0Nwtf6Bp
“My boyfriend” I tell her and she smiles standing up and embracing him.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiv1m6o5jx
“Lovely to meet you Matthew” she says holding him at arms length.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyjcBr8Y1t
“And you too Taylor’s mom” he smiles and she chuckles heading to the double gas oven.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBHs2BJtPQ
“Evelyn please” she smiles and I ask her if she needs any help.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQSP8Our8m
“No please, Taylor” she smiles and looks at us.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQN1SWdP5dO
“I’ve never been able to treat my daughter and her boyfriend to lunch. Let me enjoy my moment” she laughs.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EC2dV72sI
She plates up the food and adds an Italian salad which she places on the table, I grab Matthew a drink from our fridge and he smiles as I sit back down next to him.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBkbVoyBU1
“Matthew is going to the same university” I smile as we begin eating.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYi2AR86yzM
“Wonderful” she smiles and proceeds to ask him what he is studying.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIq4AYeG1Qg
“I’m studying media and art” he replies and she claps her hands.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAFLwPutAb
“An artist wow” she says enthusiastically. He plays himself down and she encourages him to show her some work, someday.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRteLlMncQD
She goes on about my dance achievements, even showing him the pictures on the fridge of me at various competitions. He smiles at each one and I try not to laugh. Once we’ve finished eating she makes us all some tea and then gives us some space.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6gmMweyry
“Mom I’m just going to grab some clothes as we’re going out to dinner” I tell her whilst myself and Matthew are washing up the dishes. She nods and returns to the conservatory where she attends to her plants.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSOi3bwHO8
“Absolute pleasure to meet you Matthew” she smiles at him.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItNX7Ca9PS
“And you too Evelyn” he says warmly.
I laugh throughly embarrassed by the entire thing and push him upstairs to my bedroom. He giggles as I close the door, and goes to lounge on my bed.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrI73gfN9wD
“Lord” he says getting comfy.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT07lO4PlXN
“Being your boyfriend is an honour” he smirks and I shoot him a smile heading into my en-suite and collecting my makeup bag and wash stuff.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnxwBMLcac
“Your mother is a great cook” he smiles looking over at my flatscreen and the pictures around the dressers of myself and Rhea.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6QtYZYlIA
“I learnt from the best” I tell him heading over to the wardrobe, pulling out my duffle and loading in a few bits.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnipGA52zM
“Taylor” he smiles looking at the bag.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7VZ3MKllY
“Are you moving in with me” he smirks and I chuckle.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3j7LQHTEP
“Oh stop it” I smirk, very much packing my bags.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQJX1PxpxS
Pulling my red dress off I place it in the laundry basket in the en-suite, his laughing ceases as he props himself up with pillows watching me.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ft8hUctM8
Pulling out a new white set of underwear, I get changed as he stands up and hugs me from behind.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvXHatzGBh
“You’re very lucky your mom is just downstairs and I’m being good boy Matthew right now” he whispers in my ear and my skin catches alight.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHNbo65HSP
I turn and face him, kiss his lips lightly.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hUo2SV8E1
“I like good boy Matthew” I whisper and his eyes soften.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifZQq6GwDe
“Because he is all mine” I smile.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtiSRQ4vlK
“It’s all only yours” he whispers releasing me, to stand in front of my large wooden wardrobe contemplating which brandy Melville dress I’ll be wearing today. It’s hugely humid and hot today and I cannot face jeans, I pull out a pale yellow cami dress. It has small white flowers on it and it’s unlike the more edgy clothes that the girls normally wear, but I love it. I remind myself of Rachel’s fluorescent green boob tube and cringe. Spritzing myself with perfume, I scrunch my curls in waves and turn to face him.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLHGe4vQNh
Matthew gazes at me utterly enthralled, mouth hanging open and I grin. Who knew that bad boys who wear leather jackets have a soft spot for girls that wear little cami dresses and sandals. I walk over to him on my bed and he watches me intently.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZU4u6oCb5N
“Taylor” he sighs as I sit on top of him.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72gvZYL1V1
“You are beautiful” he whispers.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTZNQS3qQI
“I’ve never seen a girl look so beautiful in a dress” he wraps his arms around me kissing my bare clavicles.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrypeiM76w
“I got very lucky” he whispers looking into my eyes.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWJbr8WNkc
Having said goodbye to my mum through the hall we drove into town, not a skate park in sight. I glance over at him in his smart outfit and smile.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryKUv5UWeo
“Taylor you’re staring” he smirks holding his coffee.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6lmDyCFR5
I sip my shake and he laughs.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSckU8Xo2h8
“You look wonderful today” I tell him and he smiles.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19Ey1qGH7H
“I was thinking the same, I love your clothes. And cute little dresses” he smiles his hands reaching out for mine. I grasp onto him intent on not letting him go, ever.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsX2e0udOs7
I pull my denim jacket on and we walk around the shops. I broach the subject of the party and he listens to me briefly.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmHVPsNtUX
“You heard about that one huh” he smiles down at me.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkVl9i1D1C
“Ryan invited me” I say and he smirks.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZRJVweMG5
“Do you not want to go” I ask him and he looks down at me stopping me briefly in the middle of the store we’re in. A family walking past us huffing because we stood in their way. He grasps my head in his hands again.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcFQFLZazJ
“I would love to take you” he says finally deliberating with himself. I search his eyes but he kisses me softly and then takes my hand in his own to guide me through the store again.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQm4q5nIrZ
I pick up an outfit for the party, it is fancy dress after all. He smirks watching me pick up suspenders and hold ups and I ruffle his hair as he pays for my new clothes.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHKutl5i76
Matthew takes me food shopping on the way home, and even the most mundane of things seems exciting merely because he is with me. He quizzes me on what snacks I like, which I find undeniably cute. He gets my chocolate and some drinks to take back with us.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkP9lK8egxx
By the time we get back it's late enough to begin getting ready for meeting his mum. I settle myself into his room placing my makeup on the side and he doesn’t bat an eyelash. As I'm deciding between the dress I’m currently wearing or some skinny jeans he smiles up at me.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkRFGf4KQ9
"Ohhh I think you should go like that" he smiles coming over to me and picking me up so that I’m wrapped around his waist.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiaudLaGC3
"What I mean it" he protests laughing
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbw3J5Z8sce
He lays me down on the blankets again and traces his hands up my legs. I eye him conspicuously as he smoothes my dress out.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1jdh2mVQG
“I need you Taylor” he smiles up at me and I chuckle.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwrqJ70p3q
“I mean it” he smiles straddling me in my dress. He strokes my hair back and kisses me lightly.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Kvc2fbMn1
“And not just in that way” he smiles.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwNMrNntU8
“I want you forever Taylor” he smiles.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTI12KTQtqX
“I want you forever” I tell him as his eyes search mine and he lowers his body onto mine so that he’s staring into my eyes.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTFFcBJ9yN
"I hope your mum likes me" I say feeling suddenly nervous.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAGKZTsxQH
"I'm not confident or forward like other girls and I just hope she likes me" I say softly and he watches me intently.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvtPOEozba
"Firstly, I know that she will like you. Also you're the only girl I've introduced to her okay? This is a first for me too. You're gorgeous, if anything she will most likely be so shocked that you're willingly hanging around with a guy like me" he laughs.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrNkUFVRu1
"A guy like you? What do you mean" I ask softly.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrP8J5rTvX
"Look I'm not a pretty college boy, I’m not an English major or a musician" he laughs back.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBp80PvUMt
"Taylor I'm shocked you're still here. I thought you would have realised by this point and up and left to find a clean cut, intelligent boy." He says running his hands through my hair.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IyEuQYOTc
I can't believe he doesn't value himself or even see himself for who he is. I'm truly baffled when I first met him I thought it was a case of him thinking he was too good but in reality actually it's the opposite.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMk3MHaHnSq
"Matty you know you're like a cut above the rest of all other guys right? I'm not just saying that. I thought when I first met you that you were stand offish because you knew just how good looking you were" I say to him.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjFDWchNnj
“Plus you listen to Madonna in your car. You have class” I laugh and he snickers kissing me.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6yzsI1vbX
"I'm proud to be hanging out with you Matty" I say and he stares at me intently again.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIUEOARVsz
"I haven't been a good guy before to any girls I've seen, I don't think I deserve you. You're honest and so so talented Taylor, you could be with any guy you like. And not just that you're going to have so many opportunities in life. Im just a guy that can sort of draw" he says after a lot of deliberation.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5hOxQIsHd
"I don't want you to feel disappointed when you realise I'm not who you thought I was" he says looking at me.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuboEb68ZbD
Instantly I'm so annoyed with him and I fight to defend him.
"Don't write yourself off like that" I say looking into his green eyes.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Xhk0vg3bC
“I love you” I tell him softly.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89stXaZqY2
“I love you Matthew and sorry if that scares you, but I’m not going anywhere” I smile.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhHtOSBXSd
He tickles me and kisses my neck telling me that he loves me back.
