The cafeteria at university doesn't cater for pregnant individuals I've decided. The scent of jacket potatoes and pasta makes me want to heave. This is just another pregnancy symptom I'm becoming more and more aware of. And more and more prone too.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBKpHaJDih
Ditching the idea of food I head on over to our usual tables that are currently vacated. Everybody is still busy. I sigh, take off my leather jacket and scoop my curls back. I'm wearing high heeled boots today, Jay asked me if I was sure about them eyeing me as I stomped around our kitchen in them. I defiantly and rather stropily told him not to worry. He was however of course right, my beautiful high heeled boots are not pregnancy friendly. Although they did have Jay staring at my thighs, all through psychology.

Grabbing my psychology books from my bag I start to study. It's almost the end of term, that can only mean that exams are just that little bit closer. And I want to pass them.

"Hello stranger" I hear a voice say and I crane my neck to see who it is.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhGy6euWvO
"Hey" I say tentatively. Taking in his green eyes, light brown hair and muscular body. A familiar tattoo on his wrist.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEsGgq96ok
"I'm not stalking you" he says with an infectious smile.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzzLCtR4gh
"That is not the best opening statement" I laugh. Guys like Jacob don't need the chat. They get what they want without it, all the time.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ubfNemZC6
He takes the seat next to me resting an arm around my shoulder, casually. Jacob is my fellow principal dancer at the company. I've been avoiding him, I haven't had time with moving and pregnancy and prom to get to rehearsals. He doesn't attend university here, and I look at him quizzically. I push my hair back and his eyes are on my shoulders and neck and I feel self conscious.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHTQmqUVFv
"Malaika asked me to come get you" he laughs. Malaika is a small lady, older than us and also my employer. A fantastic ballet dancer, with an innovative way of thinking.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJe3aHqYWh
"That one's on you. You're so damn good we can't just replace you, so get your cute little butt to rehearsals" he laughs.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqe1p4cCBZp
"I'm sorry" I say softly looking over at him. Seeing his charm ooze out of his expression I decide to alter my positioning, further away from him.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRFQraNDjb
"How about this weekend?" I add smiling.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAVQZfWsS7
"I've just had a lot on, I've moved and I'm trying to plan some stuff. My dad got into contact with me after like ten years" I blabber on.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQ3EpNihz8
"Why am I telling you all of this?" I laugh taken aback by how relaxed he makes me.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFhXMStTBv
"It's okay darling" he drawls and I chastise myself for letting so much slip.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTdWjkwGt0
I look down into my lap noticing how my treble clef tattoo and his bass clef mirror each other on our arms, almost as if they were perfectly placed there on purpose. What are the odds of that?
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmpQGUQZUd
I look at the door praying for somebody, anybody to come in, it could be a supermodel for all I care, just please somebody come and sweep this guy off of his feet. The last thing I want is to sign up another hot guy to the supposed Ross and Matty club.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuToJOpv62
I gaze back up at him, he watches me and then softly pins a lock of my hair back. It's a cheesy move but he manages it just fine.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlOfhIEqaR
"This weekend" he says.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhbxbZICLJ
"Yes" I smile pulling away and out of his reach. He smiles all the more. He knows that I'm engaged and that doesn't deter him.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHM8xIMztwh
He smiles and brushes his hair back moving his arm from around my shoulder and I sigh. He knows he's just charmed me and I hate him for it.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmVcLXikB8
I gaze back at the door watching Rachel and her pink fluffy coat walk in. She eyes Jacob instantly and mouths ‘who's he’ to me. I sigh, yes he's a sight for sore eyes.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkxmtrOqd1
She heads straight over to us, ditching the idea of food too. However I'm positive her reasons are different to my own.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2Yz0w9efQ
"Hi, Taylor" she says watching Jacob. I pretty much throw up in my mouth, he loves her attention. He practically stretches out in front of her. His shirt riding up revealing more tattoos, tasteful ones though and his ripped abs. Not that I'm looking.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jja9lXei9
I stand hoping she will take my seat, I head on over to the counter and leave them to it. Not even bothering to look back I grab some water and lunch for Jay. Where is he ?
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzP25V4Kk2N
I turn eyeing Rachel sitting next to Jacob and head back over begrudgingly. Really I should be happy, she is giving him attention and that's exactly what I had just been wishing for. But not Rachel. This is a recipe for disaster. Firstly because she always goes for guys like him and more importantly because she has a boyfriend. Who am I to judge though really?
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Q06kNTyb1
"Who's the new guy?" Ross says appearing next to me.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjM0m9KsVmC
"Jesus" I say jumping.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeD5XgH1tRH
"Sorry" he laughs.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBeqoFB3Ru
"I spotted you across the room and thought I'd walk in with you" he smiles.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXbq3bUPAj
"That is my fellow principal dancer, telling me to get my arse to rehearsals" I say eyeing Ross.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kRScSl7OA
Ross laughs and walks alongside me, his arm going around my lower back. Jacob's eyes watch me as I stand in front of him with Ross. He eyes Ross' arm around me and places a perfect grin on his face.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqjaQBMqvh
"You must be Taylor's fiancée” he says to Ross.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQr6PEIZSC
Rachel laughs and he looks at her with all of his charm.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW46ofF7zMr
"What?" He smiles.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgEhdnV77C
"That's just Ross" she says looking at him.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZJjF8LnRG
"Sorry I didn't know" he says looking at me earnestly and I nod.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrx7VTpXEP
"Nice to meet you Ross, what's your name again?" He says turning to Rachel again and I sigh.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjciHWVOSw
"Not very good with people are you" I say sarcastically.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDi8tLzgehC
"Rachel. My names Rachel" she says keeping his attention.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPQVoqvczj
I sigh and take a seat next to Ross.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuBwZ0b6zl
"Sorry he's an ass" I say in Ross' ear and he smiles at me.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2dmi1nt4u
"You all good?” he whispers back.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9s5VULcBT
"Mhmmm" I say softly.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPfEaL05I5
Rachel removes the pink fluffy coat and I don't know whether to hope for Nate to come in or not.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUGAQWoRwt
"So we're having a party tonight" she begins pulling her top down slightly, it's also pink.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJGwuRRuxh
"We are !?" Ross sighs.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsP3r7w5sl
"First I've heard of it" I echo him.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsluSVaTJIS
"Yes" she says looking at Jacob.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokzJPd6sji
I want to click at her to get her attention but I don't bother.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTel75a1Tk
"It's a dorm party though, on campus. I was coming to tell you" she adds sparing me a quick glance.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFGGO3oy9D
"Why don't you come Jacob" she says forwardly.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIboH9snqb5
"I'm in Rachel" he says instantly and I sigh. There's no saving her. She flicks her hair back. Jacob fixes his eyes on my legs from over the other side of the table and I shuffle uncomfortably, regretting the sexy knee high boots and dress combo.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1y2ooBZbm
I feel his hands on my shoulders first and I close my eyes. He massages my shoulders and neck, I crane my head up to see Jay standing behind me. I smile and he dips his head to kiss me.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUFMNkOvtg
"I got you this" I say handing him some food.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoWHMAyV6g
"Have you eaten" he asks. Everybody is listening in on us and I feel watched.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4rPHKpAY1
"Nope" I say softly and he kisses me again and then heads straight over to the counter without another word.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6hsJY16fr
"The fiancée" Jacob murmurs, watching Jay walk around the room like he owns the whole university. Charming the lunch lady to add extra pickles to my burger and getting away with it.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfGtBuJVGb
I sigh when he comes back over and hands me the burger pulling up a chair next to mine. I begin eating it and smile at him.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SIrpyiGxI
"Jay" Rach demands straight away and I see his eyes close in annoyance. I stifle a laugh.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdO26j7pCc2
"Rachel, what can I do for you today" he says sarcastically.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhxma8EzeN
"Taylor wants to come to a dorm party later" she says. Jacob is still working out Jay I can tell from the way he glances at him every so often.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVflpaQo2p
"That's fine, I'm sure Taylor can tell me herself" he remarks sarcastically.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5thTFksZG
"I didn't say a word" I sigh
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaujv09sJE
"I've got dance in a minute so I'm gonna see how I feel after that" I add.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPBsnA1vdD
"Oh you've got dance can I come" Jacob says and I mentally slap him around the head.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WILMpFNzt
Everybody goes silent watching Jay. He refuses to react but I can tell he wants explanations, now.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijtGADktu7
"Jacob, Jay. Jay, Jacob" I say introducing them.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutOBsZ3Ay9
"This is the principal male dancer, I've been avoiding rehearsals and my employer sent him" I say to Jay.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2b7FHSonIx
"Nice to meet you" he says genuinely and Jacob looks taken aback.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wUzZLJEo3
"You too" he says and I can see the envy straight away. I look down at my burger and eat some more.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDtyfJxbkZ
"I'll pick you up after dance and then you can decide" Jay says softly.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GH293rtYF
"Just the person" Rachel says looking up. I follow her gaze and watch Matty walk over to our group, wearing his green shirt that matches his eyes. Dark hair swept back to reveal his slightly tanned complexion.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSS8S5jcrF1
"Matty" she hounds him as soon as he sits down.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ674nIZUxua
"Party tonight we're all in are you" she says before he has chance to answer.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzO7vb97dJA
"Yes" he responds simply looking at me. Nothing has changed there clearly and I sigh.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAlwttMKmG
"Right" I say standing up.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrTDlqveH9
Bending slightly to pick up my bag.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBdcThbfvi
"You are coming aren't you" Rachel pesters.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSGQNOvvBF
"You can count on me, I'll be there" I say smiling.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcChZIwmekO
I turn to Jay standing in front of him and he watches me intently. I bend slightly locking my lips with his and running my hands through his hair.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZcV74KE5w
"After dance" I whisper to him.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWKd6t4Imo
"I love you" I add.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kOEUbGrct
Jacob stands and I can sense him behind me.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0zOc3yOWx
"I love you too" Jay says and I smile and leave.
