Taylor's POV
112Please respect copyright.PENANAD67DaanMkn
The problem with myself and Jay is that we are the same, in so many ways. Right now I cannot judge him really for kissing Rachel and touching her in front of me because I am doing the same with Matthew. And even though I genuinely like him, even though he is maddeningly beautiful I must keep him at bay. He's dangerous, and so I will now go back to hating him and arguing with him. No more stolen kisses and promises of one night only. It’s unforgivable, we will tell nobody. I will marry Matthew, and he will, I don’t know keep messing around with other women until he finally settles down and gets himself a beautiful wife.

Eyeing up the cocktail list, sitting on one of the stools, Ross returns from wherever he has been and sits the other side of me.
112Please respect copyright.PENANATRBCUA9wD5
"Rach do you wanna go halves on a pitcher and then we can just share it" I ask her.
112Please respect copyright.PENANA3XIX0geSqd
"Good thinking" she smiles over at me.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAOk500GSFNa
"What cocktail do you want and don't say strawberry daiquiri" I ask her, it’s too sweet I might just die if I have to drink a whole pitcher of it. I glance at her again eyeing Jay just briefly, even though I'm totally in love with Matthew, the attention that Gilbert Scott is paying Rachel is intense. His hands everywhere, his lips almost everywhere. I look away, so much for sorry.
112Please respect copyright.PENANABe7qRxzL1D
"You wanna choose it?" She suggests somewhat preoccupied by Jay biting her lip. I give up and order.
112Please respect copyright.PENANADAiR5WIeQ6
"Can I get a pornstar martini pitcher" I smile at the barman. He leans into me, much to Matty's distaste. He asks if we want two separate glasses and I nod.
112Please respect copyright.PENANASmNQ7u4feJ
"Yes believe me I'll be sharing it" I laugh. He fiddles with his lip ring pausing looking at me before setting on making up the cocktail and doing his job rather than flirting with college girls.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAb5BrDwpYQv
"Ah Tay it was my round" Rachel says to me as I pour her a glass.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAfe0bwqGCXu
"I got it" I tell her. The barman produces two Jack and cokes and I hand them to Matthew and Ross. I didn't bother with Jay, I'm pretending that he doesn't exist. No matter how much I want to stare at him.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAHH14Qk84Wj
The bartender seemingly bored comes by and offers me some sweets for my drink. I genuinely smile at him and take some before he goes off again.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAivbg1P4OO0
"Can't take you anywhere babe" Matty laughs cheekily.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAMutpxuQB7Z
"Maybe I should up the PDA" he asks me laughing. I brush his knee reaching up his thigh and smirk.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAs8Mkcagvdr
"Please" I say to him.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAD5ZbN44hZE
"Taylor, are you drunk?" he teases me.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAHF2JeMGy99
"Yeah that's never been a problem before. Please Matty" I ask him. He steps down from his stool and faces me on mine. I lean back a little on the bar.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAlgxtqPiOh0
"What do you want baby" he asks me, I bite my lip now that's more like it. Rach is smiling as I look over at her.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAg5SrlIqDMb
"I'm not giving you a lap dance that's off bounds" he smiles.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAJNk50dyqf4
“Ah that's a shame I'll give you another one back" I wink.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAk3jbD912it
"You know you want to see Tay dance in front of you again, that was pretty hot. Brought out my gay side actually" Rach laughs and I smile at her gratefully.
112Please respect copyright.PENANA5NXnNNynaW
"I want you right now" I tell him as I kiss him seductively.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAxnOc3DjTuU
"You're seriously killing me" he says looking me up and down. I pull him into me getting lost in his embrace.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAJiYES4lqp2
"That's more like it" I tell him as he bites his lip.
112Please respect copyright.PENANA2h5pR6IIdw
"See. Not a bartender in sight" I laugh, glancing from side to side.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAS86htOdeK1
"Cheeky" he says.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAmStqy1vElu
The music booms, and they’re playing all of the hits. The kind of music I would normally be dancing too. I move around on my stool getting ready to hit the dance floor.
112Please respect copyright.PENANA32DE97AfCd
"How is it possible to do that and look hot sitting down" he asks me. He's still standing in front of me, arms around my hips. Rhea appears in my drunken field of vision, with Malachi.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAmXGUNyEuiI
"You looked fierce on the runway, I was literally cheering for you." I tell her.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAVPTFmUEDvk
"Ah Tay you were the star" she says to me smiling.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAcaDnRNRDWv
"Ohh you wanna dance right" she says reading how drunk I am. I love her.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAXlQJ4ezsHL
"That's one of the reasons I've been searching for you" she explains and I stand up unsteadily with Matthew holding onto me smirking. Rach is totally up for heading into the crowds which means Jay is too. Practically pulling Matthew and Ross away from the bar we follow Rhea into the crowds. I glance up at Jay and seeing him wrapped around Rachel I look away just as he catches my eye.
112Please respect copyright.PENANATb2VKj3zcK
"Have mercy on me babe, you look incredible don't be way sexy I can't take it" Matthew laughs.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAN35T8jckJp
"Are you kidding me, sorry no can do. You got with me deal with it" I tell him, as Rachel laughs loudly showing us her best moves. I need to give her lessons.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAa56z2BFHNc
"Matthew don't complain, I'll take her otherwise" Jay laughs.
112Please respect copyright.PENANA34Nn1O2E0N
"You will not be taking me anywhere" I tease him. I focus on Matthew, my arm hooked around him, his hands are everywhere.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAzj1hHVuWso
"Babe" he whispers quietly.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAWRJbhiDUak
"Yes Matthew” I whisper.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAsx37emyfgC
"I'm ugh going to rip this off when we get home" he laughs and I smile up at him seeing the stage lighting illuminating his beautiful face.
112Please respect copyright.PENANA81rrQbtCHN
"Kim will kill you, how about you just take it off nicely, it's not that difficult" I tell him softly.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAnHZnYL38C5
“I spoke to her earlier” he says softly.
112Please respect copyright.PENANATjEHesKT3Q
“About us, about the potential for a summer wedding” he smiles down at me and I grin.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAm51bjpumeN
“A summer or autumn wedding” I say softly as he strokes my hair back.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAInBSmWBqUI
"I'm going to get you another drink” he smiles down at me infatuated.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAzL09aDun7x
“Wine” I whisper and he grins.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAhQ56To97RZ
“Mixing are we” he laughs and I smile up at him before he pushes through the crowd.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAVXRevveP8Z
I watch Rhea with her arms linked around Malachi and I smile not wanting to disturb her. Rachel has joined Phillipa and they are doing some kind of dance together that they both know.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAQyJmUaRde6
Ross pulls me into him, and that's normal isn't it? We are friends. As I feel his arms go around me, Jay joins our group and I'm not fussed. Not even a smidge. I'm going to dance and do what I love, bloody boys thinking they can get in the way.
112Please respect copyright.PENANATZwslopp4Z
"I've not seen you dance until now" Jay says, I must argue with him. I must ruin the moment we had earlier, show him that I don’t care about him. I am with Matthew, granted Ross’ arms are around me, but still I’m taken. Taylor I tell myself, you are a messy drunk.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAZ7oNYcbJ5v
"Don't start, I was actually tolerating you being around. Don't spoil it. Mr one night only" I laugh and he snorts.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAQz0XTnH5LN
"Gonna hold onto that one for a while aren't you" Jay smiles.
112Please respect copyright.PENANA5uDO8iWMWM
"Oh that's a keeper" I tell him, teasing him.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAVYgcROA92V
"How do you do that" he asks as Ross loosens his grip on me, pulled away by Rachel and Phillipa as a song comes on that they all know. Leaving me with mr southern one night only.
112Please respect copyright.PENANA3JE99KCm31
"Do what" I ask Jay as his eyes watch Ross leave.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAV8jza427ig
"So I'm dancing with Rach and she is actually quite a pretty girl you know. Not like your standard. But you know." He says eyeing my expression.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAFDjdtJnjx2
"So I'm dancing with her. I'm literally so close to her. But I'm looking over her shoulder at you. Thinking about you and how your body is moving and how you would look..." He begins.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAGsQpSQ1XJo
"See this is why you're an absolute animal Jay, you will say anything to me. No matter how much of a dickhead you sound" I tell him. I do love fighting with him.
112Please respect copyright.PENANA8aLWHHK62J
“I will not Taylor” he smirks, pulling at my hips.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAAhFqJ24ewg
“You will” I say softening in his arms.
112Please respect copyright.PENANA1llY2KSIR7
“Do you not see the ring on my finger” I whisper and he laughs.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAT8tiPen1zR
“Oh I see it” he chuckles.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAYfxF9QhTVs
“You should be focusing on Rachel” I say rising for another argument.
112Please respect copyright.PENANA8cQuhYp66i
"And what if I want you" he asks, he is maddening.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAMcbg1WPHJj
"What for one night?" I laugh back at him.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAwigetQhJ7Z
"Are you offended I only offered you one night" he says softly. I pull myself away from his silky voice and strong embrace.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAyoNeZmb3cB
"I could offer you more" he looks at me intently, drinking in my hips and my waist.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAvisV0dm0Zp
"I'm taken" I tell him annoyed.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAccIxuZxAkk
"Your body was not telling me that earlier" he says and I scowl at him.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAllHtDNMoyQ
"You think I was being genuine?" I laugh, make it all a lie I tell myself. Don’t let him have any power of you.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAzdprdb5hAT
"I know you were" he tells me again as he places his hand on my back leaning into me. I stop breathing, the effect he has on me angers me. I'm learning that drink is the problem, it makes me crave being close and intimate. And having lots of guys who are gorgeous around you is a recipe for disaster.
112Please respect copyright.PENANA4uc6rYbZlY
"All's I meant is you can have the best of both worlds. You can be greedy with me, I don't care if you only want me for sex. You have enough going to with..." he says eyeing Ross.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAC5J0InmMvH
I look over at Ross who is glaring at him. I take a good step away from Jay, again. Proposition me all you want.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAIlFzTarXia
“You think you can charm me into bed right” I say to him, mimicking him from earlier.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAgCxPdeFzqw
“Why are you acting this way, I was actually trying” he says annoyed with me.
112Please respect copyright.PENANA1eIt4r2twE
"You really are difficult" Jay says, loosing his patience with me. Bingo, now I need to push him away.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAsmpep0mNpG
"So are you" I retort and he glares at me.
112Please respect copyright.PENANANMfCJUj5lp
"Babe ignore him" Ross says approaching us again with Rachel in tow.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAQmv15WHjxa
"Have fun speaking to Jen earlier did you Ross" Jay says looking up at him.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAiAykAQjEx6
"Fuck off." Ross says to him eyeing me again.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAg1mbk5SdBk
"She your back up plan then?" He adds twisting the knife.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAHXPolceByJ
"No she's a friend and she was upset" Ross defends himself eyeing me cautiously. Ross I’m learning, likes to keep everybody happy.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAPxJuRN1BJA
"A friend that you fuck to try and forget about Taylor" Jay says aggravated.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAyaIeRcp6K7
"I'm not fucking her" Ross says simply, I can see this argument building. The tension rolling off of Jay, the annoyance on Ross’ face.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAAHkZj2VKAx
"Okay, well she's not with Brad anymore that can only mean you've stepped back in" Jay laughs. I glance over at Matthew, he's still waiting, looks like the barman is biased and serving the girls first. I decide to keep dancing, pulling Rachel into me. Ignore the guys, they can just argue over us. Jay looks down at us briefly, distracted.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAy4iyufSIDQ
"So did you or did you not promise to take her home?" Jay asks Ross over my shoulder. I push myself into him slightly hoping to shut him up.
112Please respect copyright.PENANA7K8P7cJQRG
"I didn't say that" Ross argues, even sexy dancing with Rachel isn’t working.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAgHyDZvjPxM
“Distract Ross” I whisper to her and she laughs.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAuzCcDj5T6j
“You are very fun drunk, Taylor” she slurs and I laugh as she holds onto Ross hips.
112Please respect copyright.PENANA1SNgXLykLJ
"We need to stop them arguing like idiots” I say in her ear.
Watching Rachel instigate dancing with Ross I move my body closer into Jay, feeling his hand gently pull my hips from behind. Bad drunk Taylor, I tell myself. He quiets down and I consider myself successful in breaking up the incoming punch up.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAHwbyInM64R
“What are you doing” Jay asks me in my ear.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAOh0QyWyKYW
“Stopping you from punching Ross” I explain moving my hips into him.
112Please respect copyright.PENANA9dH8aTNHte
“You’re not serious” he says in my ear.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAeVaWroRDmn
“Jay” I say softly and he sighs his hands grasping onto my hips.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAtCalTkfize
“I’m serious, no arguing. I’m sorry for winding you up” I mutter feeling his hands move over me.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAOjGgJhtGpy
“Taylor” he sighs breathless.
112Please respect copyright.PENANA68imwJDhwz
“Were you being genuine earlier” he asks me slowly in my ear. I move into him and his hands take over again, squeezing my hips. Gyptian, hold yuh starts blasting out of the speakers and I smile up at him.
112Please respect copyright.PENANANz9KXhq0ry
“Jay” I say and he looks down at me lustfully.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAWMFKXgQ2Q5
“Really you just wanted me to grind on you didn’t you” I say moving to the beat as his hands pull my hips in.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAzJ4q9J2oDw
“You’re so naughty, your man is right there” he says glancing up at Matthew facing the bar.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAnVRL1tZiAJ
“You’re the naughty one offering me one night” I tell him.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAsAd4sTobam
“I am just dancing” I tell him, feeling his fingers play with my suspenders.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAPafKWpdogn
“Your ass working against me is not just dancing Taylor” he laughs and I chuckle.
112Please respect copyright.PENANACdxHalfN7M
“You don’t like it” I ask him as he grabs my hips possessively.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAAGNfTw0jbv
“Oh stop it” he smirks as I look up at him.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAEklGV0VvaS
“How long do I get you for this time” he whispers.
112Please respect copyright.PENANArDCdnjclIe
“Jesus” he says in his southern accent as I pull Rachel into me to join us.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAOz9uHzuFlI
“See we’re all just dancing together” I say up at him as Ross remains behind Rachel.
112Please respect copyright.PENANARxmNjQElMB
“Can you do that again with your hips” he whispers in my ear and I smirk.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAU6xIG4JgpW
“Shh” I say to him and he laughs, a low throaty chuckle that reverberates through me.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAnEIOc9eFAW
