Ross George Peterson, is his full name, he likes books which is most definitely a common interest. And as we're walking to Matthews, or dawdling behind the others who are walking ahead I’m wearing his hoody and he's looking down at me with those blue eyes. He's a whole head taller than me and he's even holding my hand. I don't believe he has stopped touching me since we were sitting together in the park. We are discussing pride and prejudice as Rach occasionally looks behind at us rolling her eyes. He's walked straight into my life, demanding my attention and I find myself unable to let him go as of yet. All of his advances are welcome.

Yet I am thinking about the kiss, I shouldn't be it was a dare. Matty didn't ask to kiss me or anything he just went along with it and he wasn't even particularly willing. His apprehension, I could feel it. I'm so embarrassed, I must have appeared really into it whereas I know that he wanted to pull me off of him. That will not be happening again.

It feels as though he is very much deliberately trying to not look at me. At least Rachel's pleased by that.

Matty let's us all into his place deliberately not watching me and the way Ross is still wrapped around me. We take a seat in the living room and I spy a fireplace and a bookcase. Ross pulls me over to it and we glance at the books.

My phone buzzes in my pocket. It's Tom. Just what I needed.

"Switch it off" Rhea complains at me. Openly showing the distaste on her face. She pulls me over to the sofa and I take a seat. Looking over at the flatscreen which somebody has put on.

Malachi has his arms placed around her shoulders and she is leaning into him. The rest of them are making shots in the kitchen. Ross told me he would be right back. Attentive isn't he?
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOc5v4ZHXw2
I look at the damn phone. It's a message from Tom saying he's sorry for calling me and that he would leave me alone from now on. I laugh to myself, well maybe if he actually did just that instead of dropping by or texting or calling to tell me that was what he was planning then things might actually work out for both of us as individuals.

I slip my phone back into my pocket. I'll decide when I'm more sober what to do about that situation. Rhea is pleased that the phone is away and passes me my drink. The alcohol choice majorly upgraded once we got to Matty's. Rachel went straight to the drinks cabinet. I noticed that she knew where it was and what she wanted to drink. Matty seemed slightly on edge with her invading his home in that way. Seeing me deliberating and not wanting to help myself he asked me what I like to drink shyly without looking at me whatsoever. I eyed the Malibu and asked him if I could have a small shot with some lemonade and he poured me a drink.

In the kitchen I can hear Rachel laughing about something and Ryan warning Pippa not to have too much more to drink. I can hear Pippa's snark replies back to him. Rachel bursts back into the room with a tray full of shots in little red plastic cups. I notice Rachel has refreshed her makeup as her lips look even more barbie pink than they did before.

Ross follows in and confidently sits with me, arm around my waist as he did before. He's so attractive, he's wearing his shirt again and it shows off his impressive biceps. I'm getting so distracted by him.

"Let's play strip poker" Rachel whines.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGL1Wtq1rDM
"We can't just sit around drinking." She complains.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJpjkXRWsW
"Ugh my sister is here" Ryan complains.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyT0ouiXLsV
"Well don't look at her then you perv" Rachel says harshly to him.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHEPO2HYqn
"Fine, I hear no objections, we're playing" Rachel says.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7okfPMSu4V
"Poker? how do you play?" Rhea asks briefly looking away from Malachi.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ve0RJxzP6
Pippa launches into the rules of the game.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQk4RSwwvh
"We can just play 21 if you like and whoever loses takes off an item of clothing" Rachel suggests. Why does she want to take her clothes off so much?
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXa1lJfPvLt
"Okay I'm in" I surprise everyone. Why the hell not, if she can be this confident so can I. Plus I know I’ve got great underwear on today. It helps that I train, and that I’m pretty happy with my body. Ross shifts next to me, that's another thing, imagining seeing him undressed is an incentive.

"Matty is there someplace I can just freshen up" I ask him. He gets up and begins lighting the open fire almost reading my mind from earlier. He tends it and works hard to get it going.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhO4MlNXFr
"freshen up!" Rachel laughs, she's exasperating.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnw5WKpX9hn
"I love this girl she comes out with such posh phrases" Rachel laughs again. Just when I thought we could get along.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRlWe6Hxqb
"Yeah sure upstairs, first left" he replies matter of factly not at all shocked by my asking.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc136M6zuvy
I needed to get out of that room. I climb the stairs one by one concentrating on not falling on my ass. The drink has hit me. Strange how you can feel normal one second and then trashed the next. However I believe I am still coherent, I think. What is wrong with me volunteering for drinking games! I decide that Tom and I are definitely through this time, why not throw caution to the wind?

First on the left, I turn into the bathroom. Matty’s bathroom is a fair size with a walk in shower and a double sink. It’s pretty modern, white tiles and slate grey towel decorate it. I wash my hands and clean up a little. I don't lock the door, clearly I'm drunk and have forgotten how to do it.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGgOG3jNlF
Rummaging through the cupboard on the opposite wall I nick some hand cream, probably Matty's mums. Or a girlfriend? Who knows? I notice that whoever the female is that lives here has got some nice sprays too and I try one out. It smells gorgeous and I thank her mentally. I rummage through my purse, finding my lipstick I apply some in the mirror and a bit of bronzer. I look at myself in the mirror, that will do. I also pop a mint from my bag into my mouth to freshen up a little, I'm not used to drinking.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppwGXt72w6
I hear a light tap on the door and it rocks open. I smile at the image of Ross standing in the doorway leaning on the door frame his biceps practically bulging out of his top.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZ6hdMuB1n
"Checking up on me are you" I laugh eyeing him.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uHAPaFlJH
"I just wanted to check you didn't get lost" he retaliates, all innocence.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpZUdT7xRh
"Or that you hadn't passed out" he admits concern flitting over his face.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvv7y0pJsl
He steps towards me, places my hand in his. Impulsively I pull him slightly towards me. His eyes widen. I'm feeling brave.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX06QhHGFQZ
What's great about guys like Ross, is they know what you want, they are up to the assignment and they don't overthink following through. He doesn't have to be told twice, he moves to me taking his large hands around the small of my back. I lean in and kiss him slowly on the lips. He smiles pulling away slightly.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eATLSMHHF
"You taste great" he teases.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZHKjP8Hks
“I like mints too” I laugh, just wondering when he is going to puts his lips on mine again. My main thought is that I need them kissing me.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yLAxbMHky
Sensing my urgency he crushes his lips into mine. We kiss passionately, he gives me his all. And he doesn't pull back from me, his hands are running up my back around my neck and in my hair. I moan slightly against his touch. He catches my lip and bites down on it gently and playfully. I'm about to explode. He pulls away.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡow2v2EG0dc
"You're absolutely stunning" he says looking at me holding my chin within his large hands.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDLxR39eAs
He is all man in this moment, direct and charming.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBwfpjgQZx
“Have you seen yourself, you’re like way hotter” I laugh and he looks at me genuinely abashed.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdegONLzTNa
"I mean it, you’re stunning” he says simply. His eyes, staring into mine.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcO3IKxJDty
“This is a bit new for me” he says softly, looking down at my lips.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ691Y45qEl4
“What is” I ask him softly tipping his chin up to me.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OMyufyJe9
“Kissing girls, that aren’t Rachel or Phillipa as part of a drinking game” he admits and I smile. Has he never had a girlfriend before? Unbelievable, he’s wonderful. I imagined him to have a whole string of ex’s. He watches me, his expression soft and endearing.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszNPwkerUE
“You’re an exception” he says softly and his lips find my own again.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkM2Bulcyy
I smile sweetly giving nothing of myself away. I want to be a new person for him, Taylor the college girl who doesn’t let guys like Tom walk all over her. I kiss his lips lightly with my own.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAVw6pXxDM
"Me too, Ross” I say softly, he finds my lips again kissing me.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbpmlEXqeE
Tom’s kisses were always held back, reserved and distant. Unsure. Ross, however, his kisses are full on. The kind that pull you into a different world where only he exists.
