Taylor’s POV
123Please respect copyright.PENANATRq3gfpbcP
“Oh hey there dropout” Stiffy smirks at me, joining our group. We were supposed to study music together this year, except I changed my mind on enrolment day. Having felt that studying both music and dance alongside psychology would be too demanding.
123Please respect copyright.PENANACK5ClHUtPD
“Oh can I see your guitar” I ask him and he smiles, nodding. Stiffy, or Steven, is a quiet guy. Shy almost, although he nods at Jay opening up his guitar case and pulling out an ebony acoustic guitar. It’s sleek and I can’t wait to get my hands on it.
123Please respect copyright.PENANAW13NvZ7nU0
He smiles as if giving me permission to give it a go.
Matthew relaxes next to me as I start to play. It has a lovely tone and I play a few songs. Clipping the capo on I play the song I made for Matthew as he strokes my side.
123Please respect copyright.PENANAm4KnILAzCe
"Why did you not take music again?" Steven laughs sipping his coffee.
123Please respect copyright.PENANAqXwAJ3RRFq
"I wanted to focus on dance" I tell him seriously; looking down at his guitar before handing it back to him.
123Please respect copyright.PENANAOpwR6VHE6A
"You're like really good though did you take grades" he asks me.
123Please respect copyright.PENANACJ63YxGg0s
"Actually I did" I respond as Matthew strokes my hair.
123Please respect copyright.PENANA8RU6ydQUGL
"Grade 8? I'm guessing" he says and I nod to him.
123Please respect copyright.PENANABVpzRrjCCO
"So if I have to record some guitar tracks for my coursework you can play it, and I'll mix it saying it's mine" he laughs jovially and I chuckle.
123Please respect copyright.PENANAugEnmZQVCD
"Actually seriously I've got to record a take of Bob Dylan. Would you be able to do a rendition for me. I’m being graded on how I mix the track" he asks me genuinely interested.
123Please respect copyright.PENANA1L5qycfZYt
"Pass it back ?" I ask him, wondering if I remember any Bob Dylan tracks. He passes me the guitar again.
123Please respect copyright.PENANA8wdC2yY5TZ
Stroking the strings again I start practising. Quietly singing at the same time. I glance up at Jay as he lounges back watching me, Ive not sang in front of many people before so this is a first for me. Steven nods along happily. Matthew strokes my thigh, he loves my voice. Many of our evenings involve him drawing accompanied by me singing and playing guitar. Often he starts singing along when he can't help himself. Ceasing my rendition of knockin’ on heavens door I catch Jay briefly gazing at me before he looks away cool.
123Please respect copyright.PENANAlG6BF0FhYF
"Yes, I'll sing and play it for you, let me know when" I tell Steven handing him back his guitar.
123Please respect copyright.PENANAhSbIfI67AG
"Didn't realise you could sing as well Tay" Jay asks.
123Please respect copyright.PENANANyDdWXmUlU
"Most people can sing, Jay" I tell him.
123Please respect copyright.PENANASYFZKcdsN7
"No I mean like professionally" he says, drinking the last of his espresso.
123Please respect copyright.PENANAOQfLDE3oZc
"Oh I'm not professional" I smile over at him, expecting him to tease me.
123Please respect copyright.PENANAFtMexPxQ3O
He doesn't. He doesn't wink or pull his stupid grin. He just stares. And that is worse. I think I’ve broken him with my singing, so I look away. Placing my phone back in my handbag, and glancing over my side to Ross.
123Please respect copyright.PENANAHS9VSrXLkN
“See you tomorrow ?" I ask him softly hoping that we can walk into psychology together again.
123Please respect copyright.PENANAA0G3HYalRc
"Yeah look forward to it" he replies casually, eyeing Matthew just briefly. And the ring on my finger.
123Please respect copyright.PENANAyrdMxpG9oT
"I wonder if it will be about social conformity again" Jay says including himself in the conversation.
123Please respect copyright.PENANAk8lBIrfzpl
"Ah you just love that topic" I say shooting him a look across the table, glad that we’re back to teasing one another rather than him gazing into my eyes.
123Please respect copyright.PENANAnd8SUY9ImF
"Not as much as you" he laughs, and it’s better to be teased by him than him acting nice and genuine towards me. I watch as he nods to Matthew before we leave. Giving Ross a quick hug as I stare over his shoulder at Jay and his intense cerulean eyes.
123Please respect copyright.PENANAsbg4S2Ulqt
Matthew opens up the 4x4 and I climb in next to him; it’s a relatively quick journey from university. He takes the highway and within minutes we’re pulling into our drive, the fresh air hits me as we get out of the car. The weather officially turning cooler, the Californian black oak outside Matthew’s place has been littering its leaves all over the drive. Just past our back yard we are lucky to have a whole host of trees including pines and sycamores, which during the autumn months, I have found are beautiful to explore.
123Please respect copyright.PENANAyOiR5tuh0W
"What are you grinning about?" He asks me as I trudge up the driveway to the porch. Matthew has a large wooden deck outside the front door, with a small round table and two chairs on it.
123Please respect copyright.PENANAYImZNJEOZl
"I was just thinking we're back home together, and that makes me happy" I tell him as he pulls me into him once we’ve climbed up the steps to the porch.
123Please respect copyright.PENANAiwtp9GczpV
"I mean this is our place now" I say holding him and pulling him in.
123Please respect copyright.PENANALX2Oy4xmez
“And it’s autumn, the leaves are falling and we can start having cosy walks in the forest” I laugh.
123Please respect copyright.PENANAkUbHM6rgIg
He can't resist it. I've learned Matty really does have a softer side, for me anyways. I place my hands under his shirt enjoying the warmth emanating from him. His grin stretches across his face, I stare at him before me. His warm brunette hair and tanned complexion, the green of his eyes. It strikes me that he fits in with the autumnal landscape just perfectly, with his warm ruddy cheeks and the chocolate tones of his hair.
123Please respect copyright.PENANAXj0d38fiDu
Unlocking the door he kicks it open, lifting me up so that my legs are wrapped around him. I laugh as he carries me into our home resting his keys on the small oak table to the side of the front door. He easily carries me up the oak staircase across the hall as I gaze out of the window at the forest to the back of our home and eventually into our room.
123Please respect copyright.PENANA3yU1RVJyT3
Matthew sets me down against the wall, stroking up my arms and holding them above my head. As he pins me to the wall he takes my skirt off to reveal my leotard. He sucks his breath in clearly pleased, standing back and just eyeing me breathlessly.
123Please respect copyright.PENANANDWMfaRANK
"These suit you, a lot" he says softly.
123Please respect copyright.PENANAxsdtsiFo73
"You can undo it down there too" I tell him as his hands explore between my legs playing with the material. He quickly undoes it, I hear the popper snap open, and see his smile when he realises I have nothing under it. He pulls off his jeans and within one swift movement he is possessing me whilst pinning me against the wall.
123Please respect copyright.PENANAP930H0fhTs
Matthew is strong, in fact it is barely any effort for him to hold me up and thrust into me. I'm quite shocked that he is not more tired.
123Please respect copyright.PENANAAfQL2vMEfQ
"Matty, this is intense" I tell him kissing his neck.
123Please respect copyright.PENANACI0fYEQKHE
"This is what you get for teasing me all day" he whispers in my ear.
123Please respect copyright.PENANABSfRBO6PFT
“With these boots” he smiles his hands brushing the top of them as they reach my thighs.
123Please respect copyright.PENANAtLhZWLZ6Sy
“And this” he whispers pulling down the top of my leotard.
123Please respect copyright.PENANA5rhAH4mYP5
"You're so strong" I chuckle and he grins. It's the sexiest thing ever. How he isn’t even breaking a sweat is beyond me.
123Please respect copyright.PENANAnPNfLxHmiF
"I love you" he tells me possessively, thrusting into me harder.
123Please respect copyright.PENANAhG4fD9CYYM
"I have been waiting to fuck you since this morning" he whispers.
123Please respect copyright.PENANAIDfrsUxFLy
"Every guy has eyed you up in front of me today" he smirks.
123Please respect copyright.PENANA2iADbNTJq3
"But you're mine" he says in my ear softly.
123Please respect copyright.PENANAE2eWuHFZIv
I smile a wide grin just watching him as he holds onto my clasped hands.
123Please respect copyright.PENANApAInrOPWei
"I'm yours Matthew, all yours. I love you" I tell him as he moans in my ear. I sigh, a deep heavy sigh as he finishes at the same time as me. Matthew holds me in his arms, kissing me over and over everywhere.
123Please respect copyright.PENANAJvqxmqBLYL
"That was excellent" I tell him as he looks up to face me.
123Please respect copyright.PENANA6xuF02Di3f
We're still not using condoms. But I decided, that the contraceptive pill would work for me. Matty took me to my GP of course, and we got a prescription for three months worth of the contraceptive pill. So far no mood swings or excessive weight gain. And no pregnancy.
123Please respect copyright.PENANAXABFETfDcz
Glancing in the wardrobe that we share, I pull out one of his khaki green jumpers, its cashmere and I love it against my skin. Tying my hair up in a high ponytail I turn to face him and he smirks hugging me into his chest.
123Please respect copyright.PENANAIwIK8mdtkv
"Let’s order Chinese tonight instead of cooking" he smiles down at me before guiding me down stairs to lay in front of the fire. Matthew tends it and gets it going before heading into our open plan kitchen and putting the kettle on the stove.
123Please respect copyright.PENANAlqPqvak8Qi
Flicking through the flatscreen and idly watching the flames lick up the chimney breast, I settle for a typical action movie and then scroll through my phone.
123Please respect copyright.PENANAUzRRGrdKzy
A notification comes through from Jay, mr Gilbert Scott southern Viking. Curiosity gets the better of me so I read it for a laugh. Remembering his icy blue stare earlier in the refectory.
123Please respect copyright.PENANA73Tezprutf
Will you also be sitting with me tomorrow in psychology?
123Please respect copyright.PENANA3HPGOgeHB4
I had snubbed him earlier when I asked Ross to meet me before psychology. It’s clearly and unintentionally annoyed him. I sigh looking at the flames again. Deliberating what to say, I decide that teasing him is the best way for me to proceed.
123Please respect copyright.PENANAeVKskRjLXr
Shouldn’t social conformists sit with their own kind and not with rebellious angsty non conformists? Grow up.
123Please respect copyright.PENANAi0XpQsq5Sv
I smile to myself, just visualising the way he will smirk at that message and bite his lip. I imagine him in his apartment looking out at his own flatscreen most likely watching a similar action movie and laughing to himself.
123Please respect copyright.PENANAe9kJjmhMu7
Do I have to remind you that you are younger than me? I like your brand of social conformity, it’s endearing. Perhaps it’s rubbing off on me.
123Please respect copyright.PENANA0rHJRkMnRz
I chuckle, fiercely tapping back my reply, he’s undoubtedly funny. The southern Viking does have some good attributes.
123Please respect copyright.PENANAwtmUkbSqNa
Younger in age not mindset. I must suggest then, if I’m rubbing off on you, that you immediately seek better company in psychology.
123Please respect copyright.PENANAy9L6bJe3BM
He replies instantly and I find myself smiling again.
123Please respect copyright.PENANAW46bSC3u88
Not a chance, you’re good for me. See you tomorrow.
