Do not fall down the stairs I tell myself over and over again. Heels are high and your dress is short, remember Taylor, it's not a good look to fall ass over face in front of your boyfriend. I laugh a little watching Rhea embrace Malachi as he wraps her in his arms commenting on her gown and generally only having eyes for her. Happiness doesn't really cut it, they are supposed to be.

Gaining a look from Matthew James Henderson, a look that encompasses lust, desire and mostly love, I wasn't aware was my life ambition. But the way he looks at me now, tells me that the outfit has hit the spot. He locks eyes on me as I approach him and I feel so special and perfect in his eyes.

"This is ugh" Matty whispers to me in my ear.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsv4hnAeIi
"Hot" he says looking down at my outfit. I smirk at him and he kisses my lips lightly, before glancing down at the hold ups again.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkU1LGiPtqx
"Tay we'll park up and wait for you then we can go in together." Malachi says to me, as they leave and head for their own car.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gbM9DITID
"Sounds good to me" I tell him smiling.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIHQeSJx5c
“I do hope Matthew you’re going to be able to keep your eyes on my face tonight” I whisper to him and he smiles broadly. I grab my purse and make my way to the door.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyclr9iJrF
“Oh not so fast" Matty says softly as he grabs my hand and pulls me into him.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczogRYwajS
"You are beautiful and you look wow" he says lost for words, pinning me against the wall.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9Wg9NH61g
"Fuck" he says touching my thighs.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCBa0LjQjd
Taking my lips in his own; we kiss and I feel myself getting carried away.
"Later" I wink at him.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltkWh55Sez
"Cheeky" he says and then we head out.

Matty's POV
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWjbgIJp0V
Glancing at Taylor in my car, she occasionally looks up at me, smiling. And I am just desperately trying to make myself focus on the road. She looks incredible, out of this world. Seeing Taylor’s outfit on the hanger, I thought it looked nice. However seeing her outfit on her, completely different story. I’m going to be fending them off all night long. She is going to be getting me in a lot of trouble. And I can’t guarantee that this isn’t going to get messy.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3rFitFp0v
She glances up at me, again and I smile down at her.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiGrL0judX
"You okay Matty?" She asks unsure. My tactic is to not look at her; focus on the road because when I look at her I get lost.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MQarBBFde
"Babe I'm good why'd you ask?" I reply focusing on the turning to Ryan’s. A place where all of the properties are set back from the road, gated and large. Just great, so many places for them to find her and get her alone.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQJGcN5LRn
"No reason you're just quiet" she says softly.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWj7ZSiv7c
"You look incredible, like crazy good. I'm trying to focus" I laugh slightly and she snorts.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQmrz7j4cV
"You look incredible too" she replies and I relax a little.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaU6bWlToW
I press the buzzer on the iron gates and instantly they open up. I notice Taylor looks around as we drive up to the main house. I swing the car in, noticing Jays Audi just over the other side. Parked away from others. Looking back at Taylor she smiles up at me excited and I grin down at her. Keep it together, Matthew.

It’s clear a lot of people are already here, I can tell by the amount of cars strewn all over the driveway. Malachi is leaning on his car smoking up a joint with Rhea. My kind of man, not only does he do all of the boyfriend things with her he also knows how to party. Handing me the smoke as I reach him he nods, I assume that we are staying over night and so I take a hit before handing it to Taylor.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSuo5btdv6
"Ready my angel?" Rhea smiles down at her. I'm not ready I think, I want her to myself. But I must not be selfish.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurnTxJHTlu
"Sure am" she laughs handing the funny cigarette back and glancing up at me. I hold her hand and slow our pace a little as they walk ahead of us.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuN8wQE96c
“Do you think I’m okay to drink” she says looking up at me.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmYBkNZK6n
“Shit I didn’t even think and I just smoked, and I had wine earlier” she says freaking out.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmHZQCMzHh
“What if I’m” she says slowly worrying, we’ve had a lot of unprotected sex.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdreqbX2pcG
“Don’t worry Taylor, I’m sure you’re all okay. Please just enjoy yourself” I say slowly.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGGt6HSWOj
“I’ll water yours down, a lot” I say to her and she grins at me. She could have conceived my child, it’s possible. I try not to dwell on that before I become catatonic and refuse to take her near anybody else.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9dTzdapHC
I clasp her hand in my own as we walk through the large foyer towards the kitchen. Ryan’s place is fancy, marble steps and a large open plan kitchen. Pool table and huge flatscreens. That kind of dig. Holding onto Taylor’s waist, I want to send a message to every single male in the room. This one is very much taken.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvsilApwXa
I spot Ross straight away, he's been waiting. Lounging on the kitchen island, the girls around him, yet he’s unaware of them. A bottle of brandy open in front of him and two full glasses. He wants to gauge the situation. I nod to him and he acknowledges me.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡma0S0GpyAj
Taylor, makes an entrance in pure style. Perhaps it’s because I am in love with her but in my eyes she is in a superior league to all of the women in here. It’s so painfully clear that she literally shines.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxF9WvOBBE
"Hey, Tay" Ryan approaches her, and I’m sure that my hands actually flex.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXfLX1QoBo
“Fendi this time huh” he says and she grins.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSebhUQ28t5
“You’re good at that” she smiles hugging him briefly.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeH7eVIutVP
“Fendi is my favourite” she whispers and he winks at her. My girl, all mine I tell myself. People flock around Taylor, she draws attention without realising. Rachel stands just to Ryan’s left and Phillipa to the right.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQA4ZogNQ2U
"Hey I ugh got you something" she says to Ryan handing him a small gift.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeymcHi2SFE
"You're the first person to come with a gift" he says, surprised and charmed. Jay catches my eye in the corner holding a glass of brandy and I smile at him. Keep it casual, I tell myself.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWsMFR5XJN
"It's your birthday" she replies, Taylor is pure class.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwFkZFt66S
"It's nothing big." She smiles as he looks up at her whilst unwrapping, a broad smile on his lips. He’s wearing his glasses today, he looks cool and sophisticated in his suit.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvF13AtOoQd
He unravels the silver bow, and I wonder when she wrapped it all up, and more to the point when she bought it. I decide I’m unobservant. Opening the box he pulls out a small bottle opener. It looks nice, high quality. With a brand name on it, some kind of designer.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIg8STV9Kdz
"Might come in handy" she chuckles.
God I love her.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXVWzLIi1j
“It’s an L’Atelier du vin” he smiles maintaining her eye contact.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWebIucP6b
“It is indeed” she smiles at him, the now quiet room looking at my girl who turns up with a gift and a million smiles for the birthday boy.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LA8jy6TYj
“Thank you” he smiles genuinely.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGZQKe7M8d
"You look incredible" he says to her. I eye him.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgec6nMF89I
“Thank you” she smiles as he ignores me.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQ4B0OKMha
Ross takes that as his queue to piss me off.
"Hey Taylor" he approaches her putting his arms around her. She pulls back from his touch and I decide all is good. Before I punch him or Ryan for that matter I go and get her a drink. Something not too strong. Something watered down.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83RkJYDrim
Making my way into the bar, yes Ryan has a bar. I peruse the alcohol and decide to make her a weak Malibu and lemonade. Pushing my hair back and letting go of the frustration already building up I neck a quick shot of whiskey and then pour the Malibu into a glass.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXicVTP9rac
"Malibu? For you?" Jay asks coming up behind me, I will forever recognise his southern drawl. I curse under my breath.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaEKXH68N8
"Surely not, here's a brandy" he passes me a glass and I take it gratefully.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnuxYqEmun
"Ah that's for your girl" he indicates looking at the Malibu.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GOnuf0NiD
"Still together? Fuck me your normally on to the next one by now. Must be something special there" he remarks. Jay likes to talk.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjh7OeCchx
"Hey man, how are you" I say avoiding the conversation altogether. He sighs and looks down at his brandy, his Armani suit making him look every bit a GQ model. Jay has slicked his blonde hair back today, his piercing blue eyes on full show. We stare each other out briefly.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSE6exO90i
"Come on then let's go give Taylor her Malibu" he smirks.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWj7lfaPZX
“Jay behave, I’m with her. You know that” I say rubbing it in.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7A9MM77IC
“I know man” he laughs clapping me on the back.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89LTSVHsc1
“I actually happen to think she’s wonderful. But way out of your league.” He smirks and I take the hit in order to keep everything calm.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPqRMuiZhl
“Who are you with?” I ask him, being direct and playing his game.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYMEFXciFh
“Matthew you know that I am never with anybody” Jay smiles and I laugh.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVAKDLxjLq
“I’m here tonight with Rachel, she begged me it was pathetic. Dressed up as a witch and tried to blow me off in the car. Real classy one she is” he laughs and I cringe, not Rachel. She’s really been through enough.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKRivU8cxn
“Talking about class.” He says and I stare up at him.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9588DBLwZB
“Taylor’s the only one that brought a gift apart from me of course” he smiles.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnNEgYtDJM
“What did you bring” I ask him.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcx4D55YeI
“I supplied the alcohol and the champagne of course” he laughs and I smile up at him as he downs the rest of his brandy.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKZPvClMyq
“She provided the bottle opener to my alcohol” he laughs and my smiles turns sour. He’s playing a strong game tonight, Isn’t he.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnaPMl5YQE
“Did Taylor mention our little phone call” he adds and I look up at him unable to hide my shock. He smiles like a Cheshire Cat. I try desperately and fail to hide my agitation as he places his glass down and pours another glass of brandy slowly. Just challenging me to have a comeback to his statement.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwUP18irna
“What an Angel” he smiles down at me before walking out of the kitchen with his glass in hand.
