Jay's POV
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZB4eyNl5kR
Rachel bundles into the house and I sigh, time alone with Taylor finished for another evening. I nod at Nate as he passes by. He shows me a bottle of brandy and I smile at him. Rachel sounds off to Taylor before she even enters the kitchen, going on about the dresses before she's even seen them.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFe5bj6mGG5
"They're going to look great don't worry" Taylor calls out and I smile knowing the look of reassurance she will have on her face.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjVsLl5A0h
When I enter the kitchen Rachel is already pouring out the Prosecco and rummaging through the boxes that they ordered. The dresses are hanging upstairs, Taylor insisted on that, but she won't let me see her dress until she is in it. I'm intrigued. As always she will look amazing and way out of anybodies league.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1scdvxm7V1
I glance at her now, my T-shirt hanging off of her, it reaches her mid thigh and I imagine my hands underneath it, just like they were earlier. I look over at Nate who is lounging on a stool, gaping at Taylor. Her hair swaying down her back as she's cooking. I don't blame him of course, I've been there. All the same he turns to face Rachel and smile encouragingly at her as she pulls out different bottles of tan.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4KGjtPIpJ
Setting my hands upon two glasses I retrieve the brandy from him. Pouring him a neat shot and one for myself as Rachel clasps her hands excitedly and it makes me jump.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNtujCJGlB
"Okay let's see these dresses" Rach says gushing over the new items.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7my2jtQ13f
"Sure go have a look" Taylor replies serving up food. She takes a step back and pulls her hair up into a long ponytail. I fantasise over pulling her hair. Amongst all of the other things I do to her.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkac93UEMMl
Taylor places the food in front of us and I smile at her brushing her thigh as she passes me. I'm not entirely sure if she realises the sex appeal that she possesses. She must recognise how much other guys stare at her. She had quite the effect on Ross this morning when she got off of my bike. I have to keep him in check, and I'm doing that by being present in our relationship and maybe a touch clingy. Laying on the PDA. I hope she realises just how much I will be touching her tonight.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eKE3CDTVK
She sits down and eats with us and we all hear Rachel bundling down the stairs, talking before she even gets to us.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLxoI9Lul3
"Taylor that dress is.." she begins gasping
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ppsfir55j
"Shhh. It's a surprise" Taylor smiles at her and rubs my thigh.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZQsl6c71O
"I think you're gonna like it babe" she whispers to me.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhWz7Wf4PR
I smile back at her.
"Can't wait" I say winking at her.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAv9g3DbsC
We finish our food and then she kisses me leaning over me as I'm sitting at the table. I want to pull her on top of me right here right now. Teasing she pulls away smiling. And the girls head upstairs.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7Vo4LBDfx
"Jay" Nate says after a while, I pour out some more brandy and look over at him.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIfDk13q8O
"You are one lucky motherfucker" he laughs as I scoff. Taylor is exceptionally beautiful, I decide he was there last night at the dorm house and a quick investigation into Matthew's behaviour would be beneficial.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hPXwPVRS8
"Thankyou" I begin smiling into my brandy as he rests back in the velour dining room chair watching me.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxliwkiepxf
“Taylor is pretty much the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen, I’m very lucky she chose me” I smile looking up at him.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTQZG4UoEI
“What is up with that Matty dude?” He scoffs slightly drinking his brandy as I smile keenly. Just exactly how I wanted the conversation to go.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkgrWNk0Zl
“Honestly I don’t know they have a history she left him and now he’s well…” I begin looking up and waiting for him to finish my sentence.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfd1DkitXpW
“All over her like a rash” he says and I nod waiting for more.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Az5iEi2pq
“He’s intent on her?” I say subtly and he laughs.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNunUfLE9y
“He looks at her all of the time. Man he practically might as well of asked her to go home with him last night” he sighs and I nod knowingly.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqcuJqmEFB
“I got that feeling when I arrived yesterday” I add and he nods moving the conversation onto university and the gym as I retire into my own thoughts. Telling myself that I must keep myself in check tonight, that means no punching anybody, not even Matty. No comments, no scraps and certainly no fighting. My hands will remain on her all night long. I've lost count of the number of times Matty and I have scrapped with each other, hit each other and hospitalised each other even.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1xUO6uTHT
That cannot happen tonight. It will not.

Taylors POV
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7D7IDoxSq
Rachel and I head upstairs to mine and Jays room. She marvels looking into the bathroom as we go. She rolls her eyes at me and I wait for her comments. About the views over the lake, this wing of the property has outstanding views over the water.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrl4YEiaWyV
"It’s got one of those freestanding baths and a walk in shower almost the size of my bedroom" she exclaims looking over at me briefly as I push the double doors open to the master bedroom.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3WCh6BFZE
"Jay's bathroom not mine" I say smiling.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmkVABf9vo
"Yeah and he's really seriously into you Taylor and even that isn't cutting it" she begins and I can feel a lecture coming. She stares at me intently and I almost laugh.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrII9vsPiX7
"He never ever told anybody about this place or himself, or anything Taylor. And all of a sudden you're living here together. Riding on the back of his bike which nobody has ever even dared to touch" she scoffs.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZMyRQFLho
"May as well marry him" she says eyeing up the four poster bed and rolling her eyes slightly.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vvE63YJ9h
"Ohh shh and get ready" I sigh as she winks at me.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnBQ0kARah
"I'm showering first" I stick my tongue out like a sister would to her sibling if they were arguing. Leaving her in the four poster bed I take myself into the en-suite and sample the new body scrub. It does a fantastic job of prepping my skin for the tan that I apply after my shower.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkq2gm8yKZe
I enter the bedroom glowing in my bathrobe as Rachel jumps in the shower and I set to work on my hair. I’ve opted for a seriously bouncy blowout tonight and once my hair is successfully voluminous, I set upon mg makeup. Sitting at my dresser and giving my skin a glow to match my tan.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaILx6mDW9
"Okay I need you to do my eyes" Rach smiles looking at the smokey eye I’ve managed to pull off.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeWMi8os6T
"Sure" I say rummaging in my underwear draw for the pair of suspenders that Jay loves. Sheer lace top and shiny, the tops of the them will be on show through the extreme slit in my dress but that’s exactly the look I wish to achieve.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu49FFCf3lM
With my black floor length gown hung up I position myself on the stool next to Rachel and create her eye makeup using a palette. She smiles when I’ve finished and I retire to the dressing room to slip into my lingerie and dress. The soft sheen black gown glides on with its figure hugging shape and low back, I turn in the mirror and marvel at how it looks. Before slipping into a pair of very high louboutins and getting my small Chanel purse.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxIgmlznE5
“Gorgeous” I say stepping out of the dressing room as Rachel turns in her white gown. It’s short, mini in length and long sleeved. The ruffles look nice on her as she gasps standing in her nude heels eyes appraising my dress. Placing in some hoops she swishes her straight hair and smiles.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aPS2ccwnI
"Here let me take a picture by the view" I add getting my phone out and positioning it to capture her and the lake in the background.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMJvAdc0FK
"You seriously need your picture taken in that dress" she explains and I protest but give in to her wishes. Standing before the window and waiting for the picture taking to be done.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalGYJdskMp
"Taylor smile you look incredible" she states snapping up several. The nerves in my tummy rattle slightly as I grab my purse and think of the messages I haven’t read on my phone from Matthew. I’ve ignored him since last night and the prospect of being around him all night is making me more than nervous. It’s actually not my wish to create a scene or to cause a fight and so I decide on checking them before we leave.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MLYW7WyDn
"Okay you go down" I say to Rachel as she looks up at me with an odd expression coming over her face.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAw5GE11hEV
"Pour me a glass, I’m right behind you" I reassure her.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYn8aaF2Yj
"Taylor" she says as she's leaving in her high heels.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKhmIogsnx
"He's in love with you" she explains softly casting a look over her shoulder before she leaves.
"Don't ever doubt that" she smiles and then disappears down our staircase. I briefly wonder how she's going to stay upright in her heels before looking down at my messages.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7K2BRCAgM
'Tay, I'm sorry for moving in on you I just, I'm in a place where we're still together, where I'm in love with you. Like you left and my mind and heart stayed in the same space. I truly hope you are happy, in whichever decision you make. I will always be in love with you, please know that whatever I do you are at the centre of all of my decisions and what is best for you. I know that we were supposed to be together. I love you, Matthew x
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4WvlgygR3
My eyes travel over the entire thing and I can almost hear his voice declaring his love before I close the message and swiftly place my phone in my purse. I believe him, I can feel how he feels about me and I can't change his feelings. Gazing at the jewellery box on my dresser and imagining the ring I have still in my possession, how it sits on my wedding finger and how I could just glide it back on at any moment. I was set to be his wife, I think idly before grasping my phone and sending him a message.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWOCuR53ks
'Matthew I understand and I’ll talk with you later’. I reply keeping my message brief and concise. I don’t tell him that I’ve been re-reading his letter that is crumpled in my jewellery box or that I’m still processing our demise as that would give him the wrong impression.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6I88FBGLZj
I head downstairs in my gown after spritzing myself with perfume. Jay is in his best clothes, a clean pale blue shirt which he still manages to look insanely cool and rugged in. Rach is currently staring at him whilst being held by Nate. She isn't totally over Jay, I know that much.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcGj0gL1Yu
Briskly I head into the room casting my eyes over Jay, watching him look up and seeing an expression I didn't anticipate. Awe, devotion and lust flitters over his face and he is speechless looking at me. When I reach him he takes me in his arms his hands brushing my back as he looks down at me in wonder.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVbUm9E9CS
"Taylor" he whispers softly as I gaze into his eyes.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE78DK4HCsv
"You look..." he begins looking over the dress again.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7nQPHloDH
"Out of this world" he smiles before kissing me, his lips travelling down my bare neck.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2J10p0glFt
"How am I ever going to fend them off of you now" he chuckles in my ear and I giggle.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9gQ8d1s0w
After staring at me for a few more seconds he tells the others that the cabs on its way. I face Rach watching her looking at Jays arms around me, the way his hand brushes my back lightly.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9DXRy1Ps7
"Told you" she mouths silently and I wink at her. I dare not look at Nate.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3njn4gwcCd
"Who's coming tonight" Nate says and I resolutely look up at Jay. He stares back into my eyes.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfSqmGYKJE
"Everybody" Rach sighs and I briefly pull my eyes away from Jay.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTNOOwBiKX
"All of our lot; Ross and Matty" she explains without any hesitation as she sips Prosecco.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHvVM5eM4q
"Rhea and Malachi will be there” I add and she nods.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywP5QBLqhc
"I texted her yesterday to be sure" I say, excited to see her again, it's been an age.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlauIsMUI4
"Justin, Stiffy, Brad" Nate adds and I look at him finally his eyes are watching me closely.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrDWkTDdWP
"Jen, Pippa, Ryan obviously" he says slowly as I attempt to shove aside my anger and snide comments at the prospect of seeing Jen, she was the guess downfall to mine and Matthew’s relationship. Causing me a very public argument at Ryan’s in front of everybody.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKOI0axvma
"Oh what a lovely reunion" I add as Jay rubs my back and I relax again.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJSZaY4Zrd
"That reminds me my guitar" I say going to grab it. I walk to the storage cupboard and retrieve my acoustic and bring it back in.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNbKSOF2Dp
"Who's he anyways" I hear Rach say when I join them all again.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZSAscSMsu
"Josh? He's the captain of the team" Nate says bigging up this new guy they're all discussing.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKG0QtMNQW4
"You'll spot him, big guy. Dark hair, tan. I think he's the best rugby player we've had ever" he adds boastfully.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8Yx9SZonu
"Sounds like you’re a fan" Rach quips and I giggle.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKe4US26Ec
"Josh is an alright guy actually I've spoken to him in the gym before. He's pretty into his sport" Jay adds for perspective and I look at him.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarlreAjVis
"He's a second year like me" he clarifies before looking down at me hesitantly.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SdOwkKe9f
"We've fought before not gonna lie" he laughs.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxAeVuKV9x
"Won't be happening again" he sighs.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrLxevhRWd
"Cabs here" he says quickly and I follow him out. Wondering about Josh and why he's never been mentioned before. I wonder all about the reasons they could have fought before and draw up my own conclusions.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBn6CP0bJz
Jay puts his arms around my waist in the cab and I stare ahead briefly seeing Nate watching me again. I look up at Jay and he kisses me and smiles.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡle1J07dBP0
"I love you" he whispers.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqfHmG9RDa
"I love you" I sigh and rest my head in his chest.
