"You are in fact looking at the principle dancer at the Martha Graham dance company" Jay says to everybody at lunch time the next day. I blush and shy away from the eyes watching me.

"Wow Taylor" Matty says standing up.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcXmU5ITau
"That's truly incredible" Rhea says.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7OaYB4n0e
"Yeah first interview and first paid job" I comment smiling.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0N2A3aRNX
"Well done Taylor you're an incredible dancer" Rach smiles.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRFAYdIBTf
Ross smiles stands up and hugs me.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yu6sfqwSe
"Well done, amazing news" Ross says holding my forearms.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84VvG5xW4H
"Thanks Ross" I smile.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WNoHcZmug
Myself and Jay take a seat together with our lunch on the end of the sofa squished in, me on top of him.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHRiBZo1OE
I spoon some pasta into his mouth and he laughs. I hook my arm around his shoulders. I actually think I need to show everybody, just how much we are in love with one another. So no holding back.
I kiss his lips and he chuckles lightly.

Rhea smiles at me.
"Talking of fantastic news Malachi is coming here next year" she says
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQvwIU3GHp
"Yes" I say standing up and hugging her instantly.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcz41wiKYfo
"I love that for you both, well done Malachi. Studying ?" I ask
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA98Qex2NAT
"Creative events management" she says
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiO77yk5im
"Ohh perfect" I smile. Pulling my dance skirt down and resuming my place on Jays knee.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkdSIniwUY
"My cousin is a second year events management student" Jay says
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSz2pff1uDv
Noticeably everybody looks taken aback.
"Ella?" I ask and Rach's head snaps to mine, he nods to me.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEvPR2HJh4
"I didn't even know you had a cousin" she says
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hiADl6vK1
"Yeah so if Malachi wants someone to chat about it, she's actually nice not like me at all" Jay laughs. I stroke his arm, smiling at him. He's wearing a polo shirt today, it's fitted and I'm a fan.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCD1Fo1LWRM
"Thanks I will tell him, I'm sure that would be great though" she genuinely smiles at him.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxd8GhmYjP
"Might mean less parties for me by the way" I tell Rachel
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cHbSEaOfl
"I have rehearsals four times a week in town" I add.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PnpLVrFgT
"In town? The clubs there are banging. We'll come to you" she remarks.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAA9wLmdRD
I laugh and look at Jay.
"They have tons of restaurants, we've tried one already" he comments and I stare into his eyes.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhQ1BXfdjw
"It was great the food was perfect" I tell him
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3dx4u41ph
"You're perfect" he smiles and I kiss him.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2euEjUrvG
"Ugh you two, go be in fucking love with each other elsewhere" Rach snarks and I wink at him.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2S6igeLze
"Wanna go elsewhere?" I laugh and he scoffs at me.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6fxt3lGaG
"Where's Nate?" I tease her.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMdQZI7Jdv
"He's got rugby" she sighs.
"With Josh" she adds.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nWB4fI9ov
That reminds me of a few things on my mental to do list, first is to thank Joshua Morelli, who would ever have thought I'd be doing that? And second, the harder thing, is to speak to Matty. He deserved better than me and I need to clear the air. He deserves to know the truth so that he can move on.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPesjzH3KL
Jay notices me staring into space and he checks out my wrist. He gets out my pills and I pop two.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡle6aDo9SYi
"Oh shit Taylor, yeah what happened at the hospital?" Rach asks.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlF5kUnRomI
"It's just a fracture" I say
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnECdKYrBjX
"I heard that Tom had a broken nose" Rhea laughs.
"Finally somebody hit him" she snarks smiling at Jay. Since when did she condone violence?
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbzfWwQmJJ
"You will not be pursuing him again" I laugh and he kisses me again pulling my arms around him tightly.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvmY4JTQgh
"I think it's funnier that I managed to land a dance job with my arm in a bandage" I smile once I come up for air from Jays lips. Everybody laughs. There, tension dissipated.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUd40Szvmn
Jay strokes my waist and I smile.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0p9AxwrRQ
"Okay so before we break up though we do need to celebrate" Rach says smiling.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvh2P6E30s5
"Yeah? How about Friday?" I smirk
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwEy98ZQut
"No no I have plans that involve you this Friday" Jay says smiling.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYjiMdBSnb
"Oh yeah" I remember smiling back at him.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIhiYc0SZN
"Thursday night? I'm not in uni Friday anyways" I say
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuGZ2jTpVX
"Yes I'll bunk my Friday lecture" Rach says.
"Awesome, Ross? Matty" she asks and I peer down at Jays lips and can't resist but to kiss them.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7FJVObniV
"Course" Ross says
"Sure" Matty says and stands to walk out.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmSQbJMPzh
"Let me just" I say to Jay and instantly recognition dawns on his face, remembering what I was telling him about apologising to Matty. He lets me go. I leave my stuff with Jay as I'm walking with them to psychology afterwards.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80vGEUmWZz
I follow Matty out and he looks back at me shocked.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdu1nkCYIa
"Can we find some time to just talk ?" I say once he lights up outside.
He eyes me.
"If you don't want too that's fine but.." I begin.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDueUWRBAW
"Taylor congratulations firstly that's huge. I'm so excited for you. I always knew you would get a break in a dance company" Matty smiles at me.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDjglvzbfq
"I'm free whenever, you could just drop by and we can talk" he says.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqacUvWgbB
Ohhh either a good idea, or a very very bad one.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jWcgej0NT
"Come on?" He says with a sly smile.
"I'm not going to try shit" he adds.
"Believe me I'm more than aware of your relationship with Jay, you've both made yourselves super clear. We can just get takeout and talk it's all good" he says laughing.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZ8cQAzdHX
"Okay sure" I say smiling
"Tonight?" I add, how mature.
Perhaps he already has plans?
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ozOEgDwt5
"Done" he says smiling
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxki4nzDoxC
"Great." I smile and turn to walk back in. Resolve hits me and I smile, I can tell him and I can fix this.
