Taylor’s POV
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpsiC1tnuM
“Mom” I call out as I return back to the house, Matthew in tow. He put on a button up shirt and some chinos. Not a bad boy leather jacket in sight. No smoking either he told me, he doesn’t want to smell like a delinquent. I laughed telling him my own father used to smoke and he smiles sticking to his guns. It’s clear he wants my mom to like him, and with a smile like that he really has nothing to worry about.

“Taylor, in here” she replies and I guide him down the hall through to the kitchen. I look back at him and he smirks as I give him a reassuring smile.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEm4E76Vd8
“Oh hello” my mother laughs as I walk in with Matthew. Shes a tad shocked, perhaps I should have pre warned her. She smiles all the same, her hair pulled into a plait today.

“Well that was good timing I’m just making some lunch” she smiles at him, I glance at the lasagne in the oven and smile warmly at her.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi60LAfJ5I9
“Matthew this is my mother” I say to him and he smiles genuinely.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rx9D4Zzte
“Mom this is Matthew my ugh” I begin and he chuckles.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqmBqUrPLQ
“Her boyfriend” he finishes and I smirk at him, gazing up at him briefly before taking a seat on the wooden table set.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6azj0mnOE3
“My boyfriend” I tell her and she smiles standing up and embracing him.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwagT3oDBVo
“Lovely to meet you Matthew” she says holding him at arms length.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYyUYZzrjd
“And you too Taylor’s mom” he smiles and she chuckles heading to the double gas oven.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYjiPbM9p6
“Evelyn please” she smiles and I ask her if she needs any help.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqqZ57RaLJ
“No please, Taylor” she smiles and looks at us.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmGfTm13li
“I’ve never been able to treat my daughter and her boyfriend to lunch. Let me enjoy my moment” she laughs.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mwaKqutvU
She plates up the food and adds an Italian salad which she places on the table, I grab Matthew a drink from our fridge and he smiles as I sit back down next to him.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqYNzvkfLg
“Matthew is going to the same university” I smile as we begin eating.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBdA5KmM3N
“Wonderful” she smiles and proceeds to ask him what he is studying.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDr6fcxHPR
“I’m studying media and art” he replies and she claps her hands.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5WDKTwdcP
“An artist wow” she says enthusiastically. He plays himself down and she encourages him to show her some work, someday.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYOD6sXOV0
She goes on about my dance achievements, even showing him the pictures on the fridge of me at various competitions. He smiles at each one and I try not to laugh. Once we’ve finished eating she makes us all some tea and then gives us some space.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa69NG3WjlV
“Mom I’m just going to grab some clothes as we’re going out to dinner” I tell her whilst myself and Matthew are washing up the dishes. She nods and returns to the conservatory where she attends to her plants.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVB3TPzirN
“Absolute pleasure to meet you Matthew” she smiles at him.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhFCOv8eAO
“And you too Evelyn” he says warmly.
I laugh throughly embarrassed by the entire thing and push him upstairs to my bedroom. He giggles as I close the door, and goes to lounge on my bed.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0h9X2ZSXIc
“Lord” he says getting comfy.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ow79eQ5p5
“Being your boyfriend is an honour” he smirks and I shoot him a smile heading into my en-suite and collecting my makeup bag and wash stuff.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCL38NqbpJ
“Your mother is a great cook” he smiles looking over at my flatscreen and the pictures around the dressers of myself and Rhea.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOgnlDojwZ
“I learnt from the best” I tell him heading over to the wardrobe, pulling out my duffle and loading in a few bits.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqd3wrYAJ1h
“Taylor” he smiles looking at the bag.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12oxXlhwqN
“Are you moving in with me” he smirks and I chuckle.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcp6hWyHoSc
“Oh stop it” I smirk, very much packing my bags.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2UWiNdUe8
Pulling my red dress off I place it in the laundry basket in the en-suite, his laughing ceases as he props himself up with pillows watching me.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6mkmfLmEn
Pulling out a new white set of underwear, I get changed as he stands up and hugs me from behind.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpRh3djAbM
“You’re very lucky your mom is just downstairs and I’m being good boy Matthew right now” he whispers in my ear and my skin catches alight.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrnNfIDlJM
I turn and face him, kiss his lips lightly.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MJIj9JDtb
“I like good boy Matthew” I whisper and his eyes soften.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSc8TpzZdJ
“Because he is all mine” I smile.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35yr3NgxU2
“It’s all only yours” he whispers releasing me, to stand in front of my large wooden wardrobe contemplating which brandy Melville dress I’ll be wearing today. It’s hugely humid and hot today and I cannot face jeans, I pull out a pale yellow cami dress. It has small white flowers on it and it’s unlike the more edgy clothes that the girls normally wear, but I love it. I remind myself of Rachel’s fluorescent green boob tube and cringe. Spritzing myself with perfume, I scrunch my curls in waves and turn to face him.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpPPBxt0hE
Matthew gazes at me utterly enthralled, mouth hanging open and I grin. Who knew that bad boys who wear leather jackets have a soft spot for girls that wear little cami dresses and sandals. I walk over to him on my bed and he watches me intently.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9swiAjZSm
“Taylor” he sighs as I sit on top of him.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaG2qKVhkj
“You are beautiful” he whispers.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBySzDef0nc
“I’ve never seen a girl look so beautiful in a dress” he wraps his arms around me kissing my bare clavicles.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFttDqt9XDI
“I got very lucky” he whispers looking into my eyes.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmp1uuEd8F
Having said goodbye to my mum through the hall we drove into town, not a skate park in sight. I glance over at him in his smart outfit and smile.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbGXl0E370
“Taylor you’re staring” he smirks holding his coffee.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsm1Ua70NmE
I sip my shake and he laughs.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3N0FkYmn4b
“You look wonderful today” I tell him and he smiles.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddDyzd5Fsp
“I was thinking the same, I love your clothes. And cute little dresses” he smiles his hands reaching out for mine. I grasp onto him intent on not letting him go, ever.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmk4cDNUw9Q
I pull my denim jacket on and we walk around the shops. I broach the subject of the party and he listens to me briefly.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOR1gTHLmL
“You heard about that one huh” he smiles down at me.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbo7kOjTpUP
“Ryan invited me” I say and he smirks.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pmLxfQPTR
“Do you not want to go” I ask him and he looks down at me stopping me briefly in the middle of the store we’re in. A family walking past us huffing because we stood in their way. He grasps my head in his hands again.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWXjcW8Yko
“I would love to take you” he says finally deliberating with himself. I search his eyes but he kisses me softly and then takes my hand in his own to guide me through the store again.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiHTO024lH
I pick up an outfit for the party, it is fancy dress after all. He smirks watching me pick up suspenders and hold ups and I ruffle his hair as he pays for my new clothes.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JMSmCRD73
Matthew takes me food shopping on the way home, and even the most mundane of things seems exciting merely because he is with me. He quizzes me on what snacks I like, which I find undeniably cute. He gets my chocolate and some drinks to take back with us.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiMtUwiFnK
By the time we get back it's late enough to begin getting ready for meeting his mum. I settle myself into his room placing my makeup on the side and he doesn’t bat an eyelash. As I'm deciding between the dress I’m currently wearing or some skinny jeans he smiles up at me.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJq6wFwtNNw
"Ohhh I think you should go like that" he smiles coming over to me and picking me up so that I’m wrapped around his waist.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMchlpgkYA
"What I mean it" he protests laughing
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooSqJssmIL
He lays me down on the blankets again and traces his hands up my legs. I eye him conspicuously as he smoothes my dress out.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUp9besqSI
“I need you Taylor” he smiles up at me and I chuckle.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTxkogXvK5
“I mean it” he smiles straddling me in my dress. He strokes my hair back and kisses me lightly.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XJE1FKgzL
“And not just in that way” he smiles.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWfVNquI29
“I want you forever Taylor” he smiles.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpjy9MIT41
“I want you forever” I tell him as his eyes search mine and he lowers his body onto mine so that he’s staring into my eyes.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicin15UrmU
"I hope your mum likes me" I say feeling suddenly nervous.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPZ5VqIZGg
"I'm not confident or forward like other girls and I just hope she likes me" I say softly and he watches me intently.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRfpnpNulf
"Firstly, I know that she will like you. Also you're the only girl I've introduced to her okay? This is a first for me too. You're gorgeous, if anything she will most likely be so shocked that you're willingly hanging around with a guy like me" he laughs.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlon5voUWw3
"A guy like you? What do you mean" I ask softly.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5PKVaaCaT
"Look I'm not a pretty college boy, I’m not an English major or a musician" he laughs back.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrVbboVGZr
"Taylor I'm shocked you're still here. I thought you would have realised by this point and up and left to find a clean cut, intelligent boy." He says running his hands through my hair.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56kIHUDq6K
I can't believe he doesn't value himself or even see himself for who he is. I'm truly baffled when I first met him I thought it was a case of him thinking he was too good but in reality actually it's the opposite.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0TzK4foJn
"Matty you know you're like a cut above the rest of all other guys right? I'm not just saying that. I thought when I first met you that you were stand offish because you knew just how good looking you were" I say to him.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo143RmPCuz
“Plus you listen to Madonna in your car. You have class” I laugh and he snickers kissing me.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJMa9bMyv6
"I'm proud to be hanging out with you Matty" I say and he stares at me intently again.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkTCilOMaK
"I haven't been a good guy before to any girls I've seen, I don't think I deserve you. You're honest and so so talented Taylor, you could be with any guy you like. And not just that you're going to have so many opportunities in life. Im just a guy that can sort of draw" he says after a lot of deliberation.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVD0UPcc2D
"I don't want you to feel disappointed when you realise I'm not who you thought I was" he says looking at me.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzphnRMDeg
Instantly I'm so annoyed with him and I fight to defend him.
"Don't write yourself off like that" I say looking into his green eyes.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WambdCqgk
“I love you” I tell him softly.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsf9q3obGT
“I love you Matthew and sorry if that scares you, but I’m not going anywhere” I smile.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCPJrdia4z
He tickles me and kisses my neck telling me that he loves me back.
