Jays POV
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRxP4qO15Y
"Look at you" I whisper in Taylor's ear. We're in the water together her arms linked around my shoulders and neck. The pool lights on making her eyes glow looking up at me. I'm smiling down at her, my wife.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTTPplzHxx
"Look at you" she smirks running her hands through my wet hair.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5UAUFkJNn
"I like how you offered her a wetsuit" she says softly.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcf7xvm0A50
"She didn't want to wear a bikini. So I figured" I tell her softly and she smiles up at me. That woman is more complicated than Matty can comprehend right now, I mean who knows what's happened or if anything has happened, I could just tell she felt uncomfortable and wanted to offer a solution. I am great at reading people.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihzWQRTNQt
"It was very sweet of you" Taylor whispers and I smile. I glance over at Olivia wearing my slightly baggy wetsuit, sitting in the pool next to Rachel.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzD2nkUTTk
I kiss Taylor slowly trying to ignore everybody else. My hands on her hips under the dark water.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKEE3ElDsI
"I can tell when somebodies uncomfortable" I smile.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVkHVtSleg
"What did Matthew say upstairs" I say just coming out with it. I saw him walking up after her, he thinks he's sly but I see everything. She looks at me with a wry smile. Her hands rested on my chest.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4TxhTFGLg
"He asked me why I'm leaving, I told him I'm in love with you. He asked me to consider him. I told him he had Olivia" she says and I watch her, I trust her implicitly.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDVy9ff3V7
I laugh slightly, glance over at him and he's watching her again, my wife.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3feqebO4G
"Well you were pretty savage at the dinner table, saying we want to see what Italian life has to offer us" I tease her and she smiles.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTWvxAVigT
"I was just being honest" she smiles back.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFydcLbfCkp
The tension rolling off of him as she said it, the worry and anger on his face. I watched him closely. His possession of her coming to an end.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fyKF3SoP1
"I can't imagine being in his shoes" I say looking up at the sky. I look down at her slowly and smile, she kisses my lips softly and I exhale looking at her. She makes me breathless. Knowing that it's my baby inside of her, feeling her skin on mine, her mouth on me.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcL8jKYImP
"What do you mean" she says curiously holding my hands under the water.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBoDoLDDWI
"Well mon amore" I say softly looking at her tentative expression.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlIAyZwSpi
"We have a baby on the way, we have our marriage, a new home waiting for us in Italy. And he's in love with you" I explain simply.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5LaG3SPPJ
"He doesn't fool me with this nurse, I mean look at you Taylor. He couldn't keep his eyes off of you the second he came in the house" I say softly stroking her wet hair back.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjH8teeqkE2
"I've tried Jay" she explains softly.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWe49Bv5hun
"To make her feel happy and accepted. To be her friend. And I told him the second he looked at me that he should be looking at her" she says.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZfyiRSYmh
"Naww not possible, he can't help it Taylor" I say looking over at Ross.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMBz3XI4DM
"Jesus you had Ross in tears when you said we were going" he says softly.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QLiy75sED
"I have chosen my life Jay. It's mine to do what I want with" she says defiantly.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDaAWega4t
I nod and kiss her, she looks up at the stars in the sky and sighs. I wait for her to look at me again, reading the emotions on her face. The worry and the concern for our friends.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1D09neKk5
"Soon" she whispers pulling my hand over bump.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmgFyjks3v
"We will be in Italy with a newborn; our newborn" she says softly looking up into my eyes.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkw8UcYpTy
"I'm going to smother you both with love" I tell her.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7wsxQAfDQ
"I look forward to that" she says softly looking into my eyes.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ncVN0DuDx
"Now though" I chuckle looking over her shoulder.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0rdVaQEA9
"I'm going to have to fend off Rachel and the two merry men" I laugh. She turns around as Rachel is striding towards us.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdWKrzC6vT
"Tay" Rachel says and her voice annoys me, it's shrill.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6uCHZEP4X
"Yes" Taylor says steadying her, and it aggravates me that she's not more careful around her pregnant best friend.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1YEMI2Y9N
"Can Christopher and I stay?" She asks slurring and I can't imagine how she see's herself getting home in any instance.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5Xn5vVxBq
Christopher approaches rolling his eyes slightly and I smile over at him. He's almost sober, even though he's drunk the same amount as me. My kind of guy, keeps his whits and emotions in check no matter what.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkfrLmTWRx
"Of course man stay we have the room" I say to him.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5J2G1TADwP
"Thanks Jay, appreciate it" he says openly.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp81aXIOkHB
"I was assuming everybody would be staying" I say looking over at the others, the two merry men and Olivia. It must be around midnight by now, and I don't expect anybody to have to find a way home after drinking that much alcohol.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoZ34dcfXk
Taylor strokes my arm all the way up to my shoulder, massaging it slightly. Gazing into my eyes peacefully before a realisation dawns on her face and she curses under her breath.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDK1t2f3hmY
"Ross" she says suddenly and he regards her from across the pool.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2tvWyEpWw
"The medicine" she says in a hurry. I steady her, not wanting her to rush around in the pool. Not wanting her to slip in the water. But she's out of the water before I can protest. It is not on her to remember everything but often she shoulders all responsibility for everything.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinXWsWwWrE
Olivia smirks over at Ross who is still standing almost pain free in the water.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjFZzNNwsv
"See water is good isn't it" she says to him, sly and he smiles slightly.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3X7qjMHts
"It's helped" he says to her pushing his blonde hair away from his face and wincing just ever so slightly at the movement, she laughs.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzDazfYDxO
Matty walks in behind Taylor to help her get the medicine so naturally I follow them in. Taylor is stressing out, I can tell by her movements but this isn't on her, Ross is not solely her responsibility. Matthew is placating her softly although I am losing my patience with him, I have exceptional emotional composure for a husband who has had several whiskeys and whose wife has been hit on continually by her ex.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NkgNdDq3P
I cross our marble floor to get to her to help out as she is rummaging through the hospital bag soaking wet, but Matthew is already there beside her. Like they're husband and wife, like they're an item.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXyMX2sR04
"Here, let me" he says touching her back. And my patience is faltering. She steps back and he takes over lifting the bag up and eyeing her.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWZFyTPKBZ
I intervene standing in between the both of them. She glances up at me worried and I can't imagine how she's going to be with her own baby. We're going to be overprotective parents for sure.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHZV0Hu6vO
"What if he gets a lot of pain, we're like three hours late" she says softly worried.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjH7uHwsBu
"Got them" Matthew says and I watch him just briefly looking at her.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfiYEdkQzx
"He'll be fine" he says handing her the medicine.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrt0GjYf4u
"I'm sure" Olivia says as she hurries past her.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulCt2AR1oo
"That it will be fine, Ross is fine at the moment. Maybe it's a good test, we've seen that he's not so reliant on the pain meds" she says logically not getting the stress.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2s53fMvFx
Matthew rolls his eyes and Taylor watches him handing Ross the pain killers.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57PJ6VrPMC
"I'll be fine" Ross smiles at Taylor's worried face.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9tHFn0xoT
"Thank you" he says softly.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxeFPOm8Rm
"Dare I ask" Rachel saunters over to us.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlx85pxWdI4
"We play a drinking game" she says not taking any notice of the pill commotion. Swaying slighting as Christopher steadies her.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVZ0oJ9AAU
"Matty" she demands and he eyes her.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxR8Fyqjvk
"No weed, Rach she's pregnant and Ross is recovering" he says definitively.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxKM0rUwaL
"Looks like it would help Ross out a whole lot" she smiles as we all move out of the pool up to the terrace.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTLgLniBBN
"I mean that's pretty risky, I wouldn't advise drugs on top of medication" Olivia mutters and Rachel snickers.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4JyVuIH9n
"No cannabis around my wife, please" I say putting my foot down, I eye Matthew and he nods.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSuhjHhmxb
"Let's play then, we can't just go to bed" Rachel whines.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69H6sqPZmb
"Oh Rachel you just have to ask me" Taylor laughs, smirking at her.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDtu8MCu2p
"You don't have to disguise your love for me in the guise of playing truth or dare" she chuckles.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6EoZiaEgY
"Taylor, I've decided I love you and you cannot leave me ever" she says drunkenly.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzWp4ZnDgK
"Please" she says grabbing a beer bottle.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaFwsRpI7w
"Pretty please" she giggles and Taylor perches on my lap.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAg79SlqTbC
"Hey you're going to be leaving me for Italy soon" she guilt trips her.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2uq1iVD9y
There is little to no reason for any of us to be playing games, we're all taken. Apart from Ross. I'd much rather go up to bed and lay with my wife. However I leave it up to her, what she decides goes, she's the boss.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvag0ehJSTI
"One round" she says looking up at me, my hands over her hips. I wink at her, and she chuckles holding onto me.
