Matty's POV
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBN2IXCd1YD
Taylor Elena Harris knows almost all of my little secrets. Almost, apart from the one that concerns her and our relationship. I kiss her as she's drifting off to sleep in my arms. It's not possible that I could love her anymore than I already do. It just isn’t, the deep pain in the gut that I felt when she questioned me earlier is enough proof that I will not survive if she leaves me.

If I'm honest I thought that was the end. The end of my utopia. The way she looked at me when I told her about the amount of girls I've slept with. That very look of absolute horror, that's what made me decide that no I cannot tell her about the banter at Ross'. It would be a deal breaker, I know that for sure.
However I am determined to keep her and to protect my future with her. I've come to a decision that I'm going to message Ross before the party and tell him that she knows, and that we've worked it out.

I feel like a crazy man, cutting off all ties with everything I've known. But to be honest it's something I should have done a while ago. I am gaining so much, I'm genuinely happy to be exploring all of these possibilities with her.

It's like a weight has been lifted off of my shoulders, earlier I had thought she was going to say sorry that's a deal breaker babe you're a complete dog and I'm worth more. Wouldn't blame her one bit. Now though, sticking to my plan is vital. As far as
Im aware Jay doesn’t know about any bet, that gives me an advantage. Plus it will not be hard to keep her away from Jen. Rachel is on side, we spoke about Taylor together and she likes her. This can work, I will make it work

Taylor turns around facing the other way as if she can sense me thinking, and wants to escape the drama. I chuckle and place my hands on her waist. Looking at her tummy with my hands over her I think about all of the connotations of holding her in this way and I don't remember ever having this intuition with other women, or being so aware of the fact that I could get them pregnant. I always avoided it at all costs.

I stroke her tummy and she scoots up close to me.
"'Mmm love you" she says half asleep.
I lean over and kiss her neck slowly.

Pulling my phone out and unlocking it to a picture I’ve selected of us, again a first for me. No girl has ever been my wallpaper before.

Ball is rolling. I can keep this train from derailing.
He texts back quickly, yes at 3 am, he's probably at a party not in bed with the girl of his dreams like I am.

No worries man. How did it go.

His reply is simple as he asks for more information. See that's the thing about lying you need to actually be good at it. I opt for a simple reply.

As well as you can expect. However for now we’re still an item.

Snuggling back down into the duvet I try my best not to wake her up. Placing both of my hands around her and holding her whilst kissing her neck.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dyjzXzAOD
“Matthew” she whispers and I damn myself for waking her up again. Shes a light sleeper.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQ0Ym2tY2K
“Mhmm” I sigh.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xsTIuehKx
“Go to sleep” she sighs and I chuckle slightly.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQzxuQjUTT
“I’m trying” I tell her snuggling into her neck.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblMhdDAkcI
“Mmm this smells nice” I chuckle, smelling her shampoo.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkuP4s06bE
“It’s honey and almond” she laughs.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yLlbLY7YT
“I never want to not be able to smell your shampoo whilst I’m trying to sleep” I sigh and she giggles.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqSKatv0py
“Is my shampoo keeping you up at night” she chuckles and I love how cute she is. And totally and utterly mine.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyVzs5QFFa
“You keep me up at night, just by existing in my life” I smile.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jVR25UMhL
“In the best way of course” I add.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoe3U6NVUXV
“I wouldn’t want to make you tired and sleep deprived” she laughs and I pull on her hips. She turns in bed and assesses me. I give her my most genuine warm smile.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpB8M3T9SUl
“I would happily walk around completely sleep deprived just because I have been watching you all night long” I say to her softly.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOPy5WHnsR
“Watching you sleep. It’s really cute and you don’t snore I’ll have you know” I say teasing her. She giggles and tickles me. I’ve never been tickled before by anyone other than my older sister. When we were younger and she would wind me up. I remember fighting with her over watching the game or some girly movie and she would just tickle me silly until we didn’t argue anymore.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNIp2F4tIX
“I love our nighttime chats” she smiles and I wink at her.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhI6eECibE5
“Promise me something” I ask of her and she listens to me, slight concern on her face.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65pfIjPlkI
“Anything” she smiles.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonp73QKVgY
“Promise me that no matter what” I begin staring into her eyes.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgwAU269ip
“You will always let me make you giggle all night long” I ask of her. She laughs and wraps herself around me charmed.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfhaE6w8iW
“Always baby” she smiles.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FDr3wndWT
“See just like that” I say touching her lips with my fingertips.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGtrU341UO
“That giggle.” I say smirking.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUIlS5nIpU
“It’s going to drive me absolutely wild” I tell her and she kisses my lips.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9L6NV3DEuS
“I never want to be without it” I say, meaning it.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcQLCI7tDm
“Then never shall you be without me” she smiles in the darkness.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88HJ82Bc7X
“But the rule is you must always make me giggle” she says softly.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IEOdKMfAJ
I vow right then and there to be the reason she wakes up at night and laughs, to be the one that makes her smile. To be the reason that the noise of her giggling exists in my world.
