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.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTicFy9pwoj
"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.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEADhjiXBpb
"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.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICDLTIMYLx
"Sounds good to me" I tell him smiling.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VJWvxMSiF
“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.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYM1Nmdo6Wy
“Oh not so fast" Matty says softly as he grabs my hand and pulls me into him.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6B5LbRhcPB
"You are beautiful and you look wow" he says lost for words, pinning me against the wall.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKQ0ozgcoy
"Fuck" he says touching my thighs.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuG0DMqMy9
Taking my lips in his own; we kiss and I feel myself getting carried away.
"Later" I wink at him.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOdk5EJNiw
"Cheeky" he says and then we head out.

Matty's POV
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3S5KlTYR8
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.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlYrVtZKb2
She glances up at me, again and I smile down at her.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDisPKRpy3h
"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.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HPdC17iJS
"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.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQlkAlxRda
"No reason you're just quiet" she says softly.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QFp30UbjI
"You look incredible, like crazy good. I'm trying to focus" I laugh slightly and she snorts.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7MKcPuQH1
"You look incredible too" she replies and I relax a little.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLx4DTKV5I
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.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHrEyDZ8bD
"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.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6629UJDJXp
"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.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7ZYCxfJHx
“Do you think I’m okay to drink” she says looking up at me.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgh6lwqSw9
“Shit I didn’t even think and I just smoked, and I had wine earlier” she says freaking out.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIIRiX89iE
“What if I’m” she says slowly worrying, we’ve had a lot of unprotected sex.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLQOMwhiEF
“Don’t worry Taylor, I’m sure you’re all okay. Please just enjoy yourself” I say slowly.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VKevkjcIz
“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.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRMrq2vmPj
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.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjqwY7CAE4
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.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUncI4LHJq
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.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrspdFPuaEX
"Hey, Tay" Ryan approaches her, and I’m sure that my hands actually flex.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdC0hFq1Uw
“Fendi this time huh” he says and she grins.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZm5gxW7CZf
“You’re good at that” she smiles hugging him briefly.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKSDKA8th8
“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.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eXENzEkmp
"Hey I ugh got you something" she says to Ryan handing him a small gift.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPBIhDzUxL
"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.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0y5NkNpXHD
"It's your birthday" she replies, Taylor is pure class.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WdKnx5BJP
"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.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlKwaN507x
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.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5rCfLRO0X
"Might come in handy" she chuckles.
God I love her.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiFUxGzvAE
“It’s an L’Atelier du vin” he smiles maintaining her eye contact.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4sFRsgXDM
“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.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4Doh0H4S6
“Thank you” he smiles genuinely.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0aJ2wM899
"You look incredible" he says to her. I eye him.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eogoswYQi
“Thank you” she smiles as he ignores me.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gZgJQ0LOG
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.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrx2GoCMu0
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.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QpcYxXA6G
"Malibu? For you?" Jay asks coming up behind me, I will forever recognise his southern drawl. I curse under my breath.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuLZZkidsH
"Surely not, here's a brandy" he passes me a glass and I take it gratefully.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVbWT474cj
"Ah that's for your girl" he indicates looking at the Malibu.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gK2S4dxTk
"Still together? Fuck me your normally on to the next one by now. Must be something special there" he remarks. Jay likes to talk.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIG3NGF0IO
"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.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BYlrBKEns
"Come on then let's go give Taylor her Malibu" he smirks.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRsAjWCWYw
“Jay behave, I’m with her. You know that” I say rubbing it in.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NXoUf8Hib
“I know man” he laughs clapping me on the back.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBeK6nAiAW
“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.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPcb3yoxEG
“Who are you with?” I ask him, being direct and playing his game.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4nrg5wnPR
“Matthew you know that I am never with anybody” Jay smiles and I laugh.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpzD3VipOy
“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.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oea9QJWrh
“Talking about class.” He says and I stare up at him.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bVHYM40SQ
“Taylor’s the only one that brought a gift apart from me of course” he smiles.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9h7JNyIFdt
“What did you bring” I ask him.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8L5OTHbXr
“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.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtDvqsfvoO
“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.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQN7XJJwwe
“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.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0Bmm6qbQB
“What an Angel” he smiles down at me before walking out of the kitchen with his glass in hand.
