Taylor's POV
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5ZlKglBnG
"Yeah yeah" I smirk as Rhea gloats about never losing a game of pool. Jay places the fancy bottle of red wine on the side of the pool table and a glass. He pours it and hands the glass to me. I glance up at him briefly and thank him.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6VQKHVusN
"You made me one I'm just reciprocating" he smirks before sitting back down, Rachel having grown tired of him, stumbles over to the sofas. Where the love of my life is.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGP4g228RG
"Never until now" I smirk at Rhea, she laughs taking the first shot. I glance over the table and watch the balls disperse.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIL3UfTQTb
"It's literally already my game" she smirks and I laugh, shoot a quick glance at Matthew who is smoking pushing his hair back and discussing stuff with Ross.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcoV1OuE3O
Rhea stands back from the table and waits for me to take my turn. I lean slightly over the mahogany table and set up my cue, intent on pocketing a red. I take my shot and stand up straight watching the white ball shoot directly over to the red and slam it into the far corner pocket.

"Nice" Malachi says smiling. I notice that he is now sharing the cocktail with Jay. Jay makes eye contact with me briefly and I refuse to be put off or distracted by him, readying my next shot and leaning back down over the table. It falls right in the pocket and I smile pleased with myself.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5IL0xKCcu
"Whose game is it now" I say to Rhea and she laughs.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDQFZVQeaa
"Oh fighting talk" she laughs and I smile over at her.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ776ZkgBtK4
Sipping my wine I push my hair down my back and think about my next shot. I decide to take a risk and hope that it pays off.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3otYcHRfE
"Oh really" Rhea whispers and I smirk.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJmf1DHef8
"Yeah" I say hitting the white and miraculously potting the ball I was aiming for.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdbo8uZQhd
"Lord I'm glad I didn't have to play her" Malachi laughs as my risk pays off.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2oesJGIKT
"Hmmm who's playing the winner" I ask laughing as I set up another shot.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3zyBfqksx
"I will" Jay says seriously and I smirk potting my next ball.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFm6ePRz8C
I miss my next shot and hand the table back over to Rhea, sipping my wine, I watch as she constructs a few shots and they pay off.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0IlQ5hs0U
"Back to you" she smiles as I take my turn again, noticing Matthew approach the table as I pot another ball.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtE8jO3GY3m
"Oh hi" he says coming up behind me, his eyes flick to Jay just quickly. I search his face and realise he's had a lot more to drink than me, and most probably smoked a whole lot more too. I glance back down at my cue again.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQXepeWPNs
"Hey" I say simply as he regards me slightly warily.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBd7lp1xwAD
"You all good" he says in my ear as I assess my next shot.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwGNDzN5se
"Mhmm" I say softly as he wraps his arms around my waist.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5V3poEMMR
"Sure?" He whispers. I take the shot ignoring him and miss. I stand back against the bookcase intent on not causing a scene but feeling like I'm either going to burst into tears or slap him around the head.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYllh2UOwl
"I was just sitting there and she sat next to me" he says and I look up at him annoyed. Do not make me cry in front of my friends and the southern Viking I think to myself.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQywP0LprEH
"Honestly" he says softly stroking my hair back. I nod noticing that it's my turn. I decide to clear up the entire table, I focus on each shot pretending when I smash my cue into the white ball that it's Jen's face.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpaOWxUnGo
"That was impressive" I hear Malachi say as I ditch my cue on the side and swiftly exit the room back through the double doors out of the darn parlour in a total strop over Matthew.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqHR4ZT44v
Striding down the hall, I glance at the door to the front of the house and head to it intent on getting some fresh air. Crying in front of my friends, and Jay, for that matter is not my idea of a good night out.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHNpaT4aYz
The cool air hits me as I walk down the stone steps and out into the courtyard onto the gravel, which is a pain to contend with in stilettos. The door clicks behind me and I sigh already feeling the moisture on my face, wiping my eyes I refuse to turn around.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHdXW37sJ9
"Taylor" Matthew says softly and I feel his arms wrap around my waist.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwj8af5Ggl
"I'm sorry" he says in my ear.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNuGmnnJKl
"For what" I say turning on him. He watches me and a darkness comes over his eyes. My eyes water again and I look down at my hands, chastising myself for not bringing my bag out with me. At least then I would have tissues.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG06r5OYyr6
"You know Taylor this really is very good" Jay says ignoring the tension and stepping out into the courtyard, his shirt sleeves rolled up. He sips his metropolitan and smiles at me.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDzLpaAHNl
"What do you think you're doing?" Matty challenges him, turning on him and pushing his hand through his brunette hair.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBoWH2fh3J
"Drinking a metropolitan. Made by this beautiful girl who I helped out in the kitchen." he smirks turning to me.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJsSqUm2Ur
"Calling her up, and making drinks with her. And watching her play pool. She's my girlfriend dickhead. Stop hitting on her" Matthew says and I remove the shock from my face, I hadn't realised he knew about the phone call.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdJbvkXe9G
"Girlfriend ?" Jay squeaks.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKYwVXtWef
"That's cute" he laughs slightly and I warn him with my eyes.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfSjrms51y
Jay pulls a sincere expression over his face.
"Ah brother I'm sorry, I thought you were you know." He jibes.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvor1CCoTjy
"I thought you two were just fucking" he laughs and I take a step away from the both of them.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgdXui0dPS
"Otherwise why else would you be sitting with your ex at a party" he says rubbing it in and laughing.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiTedfFIAW
"I was not doing anything Taylor" Matthew says turning to me as I cross my arms around my waist.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIOm9jLJlX
"Let's just go back in" he says imploring me and I watch him seriously.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJA19D1QAy
"Yeah Tay let's go and make some more cocktails" Jay laughs and Matthew turns swiftly with his fist in the air.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JQlWIast5
Ross appears shouting at Matthew to behave, as he takes a hit at Jay. A quick left hook, which connects with his jaw. Ross holds me out of the way into him to stop me from watching. I feel his warm hands pull me into his chest and I sob again.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQlWnfbWB0
"Man, that all you've got" Jay smirks wiping the blood of off his lip.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLn41OIyPja
"You've gone soft, Matty" he laughs and takes a swing at Matthew hitting him square in the jaw. I flinch.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTw9pY2Kfx
Matthew lunges but Ross dives in and tells him to back off. I take a step back and wipe my eyes again.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbR9LNDF0mZ
"Let's just go back in" Ross says.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3XeNQ53Hw
"Come on guys it's just a misunderstanding, Jay I've just poured you a brandy" Ross says physically pushing him back towards the stone steps where Ryan is waiting to intervene.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZYHqMkgmy
Ross turns around to face us, pushes his hair off of his face and sighs. He bypasses Matty who is bleeding from the hit. Standing in front of me, he strokes my arm and pulls me into him.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuBqCHwrVf
"Hey no, don't do that" he wipes my eyes. His kind eyes search mine.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyRgycURTa
"I'm sorry Taylor I just" Matthew says and I look at him shocked.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡow6vdwunbP
Ross takes a step back from me still assessing whether I'm going to cry again.
"Let's not let it ruin your night" Ross says to me smiling. He wraps me up in his arms and guides me towards the steps.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsKhKRWo4Z
"You're cold" he says as Matthew joins us in the foyer again.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWd0EiWsL6k
"I got this man, thanks." Matthew says to Ross and I nod.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1lWykqbuS
"I need to explain and say sorry give us a breather" he says to Ross who looks at me checking whether I'm okay.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJP1x8MfQ4
"I'm fine Ross" I tell him as he looks from Matthew to myself.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHo0RfPle6b
"I'm just through there" he says softly watching me before walking back through the double doors. The doors click shut and Matthew takes my hand guiding me up the marble steps onto the first floor.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1fKj80q8L
"I can't imagine how frightened you are" he says sitting me down on a chaise longue. He kneels down in front of me brushing his hair out of the way.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvFHZJistY
"I wanted you to have a good time I didn't want to be on your back. I assumed you were with Rachel and so I followed Ross. She sat there and I just didn't think about it in that way okay" he says pleading with me.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKHckrEuLN
"I'm sorry" he says softly.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtM0jwwC2DP
"I shouldn't have lunged at him either" he says and I wipe his lips free of the blood collecting there.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7M1mIBuR99
"He baited you" I say softly and he sighs frustrated.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01tMPuYzIO
"He did but I shouldn't have hit him in front of you" he whispers looking down at the silver tufted carpet.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcn1f5Pv3Xz
"Jay called me, I didn't know that it was him. I answered and he just said thankyou for the curry before I ended the call" I say lifting his head up to look at me.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGq7SGlE7S
"I didn't think anything of it, he's your friend" I sigh exasperated.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcfKxvrEkc
"I trust you" he says softly and I pull his body up to mine.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnVsYubEiu
"I trust you, I just hate her" I say truthfully.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOld7AlO81
He kisses my lips slowly and I'm suddenly very aware of the fact that there is a king sized bed just behind me. Delightfully made up with silk covers and cushions.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4Nz8z35pB
Matthew climbs slowly on top of me and I pull his lips into me, kissing him. My hands travelling up his shirt.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrS5YGARrzd
"I need you" he whispers and I smile underneath him.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRus5lCLJM1
"I need you" I smirk as he lifts my dress up. Fumbling in the dark with his trousers I get him free and he wastes no time pushing inside of me as I gasp.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tlDJX8FGl
"I'm sorry" he says thrusting into me.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNrnbIy8vI
"I'm sorry" I mutter and he shh's me his hands travelling through my hair and over my dress holding onto my hips as he pushes in me forcefully.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSHP4AeXF5
"Say my name" he whispers.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayqvT7rk4h
"Matthew" I call out as he holds himself inside of me and I look up at him breathless.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOi0idxvLN
"Fuck I thought I'd lost you" he says gasping.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJqoc9odzq
"Not a chance" I say softly in his ear. He clasps my hands above my head his lips invading mine as he pulses inside of me.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSlM6XLrJn
"I'm sorry" he whispers and I gaze into his green eyes.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SDTIMbNfP
"I need you baby" he sighs.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO566dj6iGP
"Matthew I need you" I whisper as he gasps moaning my name over and over again in my ear. I let go closing my eyes and sighing.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkWZ1Jax1O
"I love you Taylor" he smiles gazing into my eyes after he has straightened up my dress.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCDYqByENT
"I love you, Matthew" I tell him kissing his split lip. He wipes my mouth and smirks.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSevFofOgf
"You had my blood on you" he smirks.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE38Txpd1DX
"That was one hell of a way to leave a room" he laughs.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZvnHYqef9
"Clear the whole table, win and then storm out" he chuckles and I swat him as we stumble back down the sweeping staircase.
