Jay's POV
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3g8oo6EmKs
The following day, I find myself literally watching the lecture hall entrance for her to enter the room. The time rolls by as I realise Carter is about to begin, and I wonder whether Taylor is going to show you up or not. Glancing at the metal clock on the wall and then the entrance again realising that she may not be here at all today. Joseph Quinn dares to shoot a look in my direction checking for her and I smirk slightly at the disappointment on his face as he turns around.

Taylor however makes an entrance into the lecture hall as Carter begins talking, she smiles apologetically and he shoots her a wry smile before continuing as she strides up the steps. Her long hair in waves reminds me of when she slept next to me in hospital, of how I wanted to play with it and twirl it around my fingers. Joseph gives her his usual smile and her cheeks turn pink.

I take in her high heeled boots that stop at her thighs, tights that are sheer and a short skirt. She sits next to me smiling, she's such a natural flirt as her leg brushes my ankle when she crosses them.

"You're late" I say brushing my hair back frustrated already at how much I want her. How difficult my new plan is going to be, now that I know her. Now that I’ve seen her entirely; her body, her kind heart and her beguiling personality.

"Are you the teacher, going to give me a detention after school" she jokes as she shrugs off her Barbour jacket to reveal a maroon, extremely low cut leotard. I practically pass out gazing at her bare back reminding myself of holding her in the shower.

"If that's your sexual fantasy you just had to tell me babe" I say looking away quickly at another girl who's giving me the eye. I wink at the girl, she watches me intently and I smile just hoping that Taylor notices. She does and she scowls at me. The other girl blushes and looks away heady at the entire interaction.

"Dickhead" she says looking away from me, clearly annoyed. She pulls her stuff out of her bag and resolutely looks at the lecturer. I watch her closely, daring her to look at me. She doesn't, not at all. Ten minutes drag by and she sits calmly watching the board refusing to pay me any attention.

"Sorry" I whisper playfully my fingertip brushing the top of her thigh.

"Don't worry I don't expect any different from you Jay" she whispers still looking at the front. Accepting my hand on her but pushing me out with her words.

I smirk and angle my body away from her, facing the girl just over from me. Bolt straight blonde hair that looks limp and lifeless, yet she smiles kindly at me and so I entertain her stare again. Noticing how she has very little style and most probably dressed in the dark I disingenuously smile back at her. She’s not my type at all, but for my plans she works out quite well. Like some kind of divine intervention, sent my way to show girl a good time all the while making Taylor jealous at the same time. Win win.

My type is Taylor, ever since I met her and possibly before, had I of ever wanted to marry I would have described my future wife to be Taylor. But she's being particularly difficult today. I had never planned on falling for anybody, but then she waltzed into all of our lives with her long brunette hair and blue eyes and I haven’t been able to move away from her since. Glancing up at Carter, and away from the plain blonde girl who is seriously into me, I couldn’t possibly tell what the lecture is about because I think about Taylor for the entirety of it. She glances at me once and I make sure I'm not looking at her at all.

Carter finishes the lecture and other students pack up slowly around us. Taylor places the entire contents of her small desk into her bag, and stands up next to me. Her thighs at my eye level and I just cannot help myself as my eyes travel up her legs.

"We need to start planning our group work" she smiles looking down at me.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObLE8IMXf9
"And please my face is here Jay" she laughs pointing at her beautiful lips.

"I'm busy tonight babe" I say to her looking away.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSznAsHEsd
"Oh and don't be silly I'm not looking at you" I retort. I am though, can't tear my eyes away.

"Me too actually I'm picking up Ross" she says deflated at my disinterest. Normally I would turn the whole entire interaction into a set of teases and jokes. I would show her my undivided attention, but today I’m playing a part. I’m playing the part of a guy who has moved on from her entirely. The guy that goes cold and is no longer interested in what she has to offer.

"Okay next week then I guess" I say as she lingers watching me her hands tightly holding onto her bag. I know exactly what she is expecting from me, and I will not give into her again. I cannot be her side option to Matthew James Henderson, it’s pathetic.

“Well?” I say to her as she frowns disappointed and waiting for me to leave with her. Pausing before slinging her bag over her shoulder and grabbing her coat.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtHGMclHPx
"See you around" she says and before I can reply she leaves practically wounded.

I watch her leave, stepping carefully down the steps her head down looking at the floor, and the guilt I feel seizes me temporarily. I have to bolt myself down to my chair in order stop myself from pursuing her. I have visions of striding back over to her turning her around and kissing her lips intensely. Of making it all better, of taking her home and making it up to her all day long.

I pull my stuff into my bag and contemplate meeting her after her dance rehearsal, I’ve worked out her timetable by now. Gazing up at her leaving and pushing her way past the other students, I tell myself that it would be far too soon to pursue her today. Its important that she believes that I am out of the equation, she told me that she wanted to just be friends. And well this is the kind of friend I am.

Slinging my bag over my back I stroll up to the blonde I winked at earlier. Blondie takes me in with her eyes and it's so boring. Staring at my arms and my chest like girls always do. I watch as Taylor looks back briefly, her gaze instantly going to me as Joseph Quinn taps her on the shoulder. She pulls her eyes away from me as he begins talking to her. Let him be boyfriend number three. I do not want to be part of the Matthew Ross and now Quinn boyfriend group.

"Hey" I say to the blonde girl and her friend snickers.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpKHuyGWEJ
"Hi" she replies shyly, holding onto her handbag.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZEMNEWsRE
"Are you going to the party tonight" I ask her in an attempt at being direct and commanding, I push my hands through my hair.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfp2vvMrxX
"I am yeah" she laughs. Wow this conversation is riveting. She's wearing a polo shirt and jeans, yawn.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Pb11SII8y
"Great I'll see you there" I say brushing my hair back away from my face. She eyes my tanned arms again and smiles looking at my tattoos.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsFw13vCVN
"Okay cool" she says. That's it really, it's as easy as that. For me.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaZ7XD3Twt
“I’m Jay” I tell her and she grins as if she knew my name already.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSeJyMC2WY
“Jane” she replies and I’m sure that my body convulses but I hide it well.

Taylor will not be at this party tonight, it’s on campus. Campus parties are wild, loud and they usually go on right until the lectures begin the following day. Taylor will be with boyfriends one and two, and so it will give me the perfect opportunity to show this new girl that I’m into her, even though I am not. I stroll to the door, looking ahead for Taylor and worrying when I cannot locate her. I push away my feelings and stride in the direction of the gym where I will lift continually until I forget all about Taylor’s legs in thigh high boots.
