Jay's POV
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOvyOqPhNX
Taylor is all over the place, her life turned upside down in turmoil and so I will not kiss her just yet. If I do she will put it down to her being in distress. She will avoid me and consequently tell me I took advantage of her, I glance at her wearing my jumper and smile to myself, determined to keep her in it and show Matthew.

As Carter is going on about neurodivergence and how fight or flight instincts may be more dominant, I look over at her, how my jumper skims her waistline. Rachel has worn my clothes but never ever looked this good in them, I find myself wanting to bundle her up and keep her with me at all times; day and night.

Taylor glances up at me from her seat, her eyelashes are long and sweeping as she smiles. I know that she doesn't think I'm a monster anymore. I replay the entire encounter out in my head, over and over, her hips and the curve of her back. The way she waited for me to kiss her, her body like putty in my hands. I yearn to touch her again. I can't though she needs to miss me until I find the correct moment.

Checking my tablet I realise it's recorded the entire lecture which is a relief, it fits in with my next plan. Now I just have to suggest to her that we head to the printer, near Matthew of course, and print all of this for Ross.

I move my hand next to her thigh, I will not touch her. I'm just leaning her way. Taylor glances down crossing her leg over in my direction. With a full view of her sculpted legs, I clear my throat. She's just perfection, her legs are toned and feminine. Her ankle brushes my leg and she apologises smiling at me as she brushes her hand just briefly over my arm. I wink at her. I can't help it.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFgaM7BNVR
"Let's print these off after" I whisper in her ear, leaning into her touch.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9Th75GaI3
"For Ross" I add as she glances up at me.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsffK9p5nA6
"That's a good idea" she agrees, smiling. I'm a nice guy after all; I think of Ross, I save her from bears and treacherous snow. I mean, yes she is engaged but I know that I can change that. I smile back at her holding her gaze, as Carter is wrapping up the lecture.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgVsE563sE
"You can keep my jumper." I whisper as she chuckles.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCxCzKZmK6
"Looks better on you" I tell her.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicrzhmwULz
Bravely taking her hand in my own, as we walk through the corridors, I feel the slightest shake still present in her fingers. Like she still hasn't quite relaxed. I notice when she slips a beanie on as we walk toward the art block, the snow falling onto her long thick hair. There is nothing false or faked about Taylor, from the way she behaves to her naturally stunning looks. Of course, I hold the door open for her and she slips into the art block before me. Her boots clink on the floor and I watch her hips move as she sashays over to the large reprographics printers.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMqRJ6f1cF
Just knowing that Matthew will be about, I keep my eyes on the room waiting for his realisation that we are here together. Taylor looks at the large canvases and then resolutely stands next to me as I Bluetooth the work over to the printer and wait for it to come out.

I watch Matthew approach us from afar, his shirt rolled up and sporting an apron which has paint all over it. He ruffles his hair, eyeing me just briefly with his fiancée.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuweJCUhreO
"Hi" he says simply eyeing her and her new clothing.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYo5GiAPBR
"Matthew" she says back hugging him enthusiastically.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGcpD18CjA
"What you up too?" He chuckles, his hands still around her like mine were before.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHhEShUo4e
"We are printing off our notes for Ross" she says. I can't help but notice the we in that sentence. It gets on his nerves but he brushes away his annoyance, looking down at her wearing my jumper.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwCvEdvvoI
"Plus I kind of don't think I can do dance right now" she admits softly showing him her shaking hands.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrw2NLFsU6x
"I emailed my teacher about the accident and that I'll be in tomorrow" she admits as he watches her slightly confused and concerned.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIK9Ucia5TE
"Wanna go give this to Ross ? I have nothing next" I interject facing her, holding the bunch of papers and smiling. Matthew is annoyed, I can tell from the set of his jaw. I can just imagine the whole host of names he's calling me in his head.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkniPgdbJ6c
"What are you up to now Matthew?" She asks him, stroking his face.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Qk5rLctBt
"I'm in the middle of an art assessment" he admits eyeing up his apron and she chuckles.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfA13qXz3E
"Oh we'll wait for you? In the refectory?" She explains as he eyes me suspiciously.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7E3StQxWdV
"Ok" he says watching me, I have sincerely pissed him off, haven't I?
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaJyfj5Nyz
"You cold again?" I ask her looking away from him, as she shivers again. It's not particularly cold in here, and I begin to wonder if she's experiencing something worse than just the cold.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5RDhqYxHq
"No, I'm good" she replies softly, pulling my jumper sleeves over her hands.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrAzzadJyh
"What's wrong babe?" Matthew asks, concern coming over him, jealousy forgotten. Taylor closes her eyes and pinches her nose shaking her head. As he rubs her back and waits for whatever it is to pass.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡST6V8GeuCy
"I need to go and sit down" she whispers to him.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZQhfttujI
"Of course I won't be long." He explains before he kisses her and holds onto her for effect. He locks his eyes onto her own and smiles as I look away. He lingers, lightly kissing her before sauntering off to art.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfTpt8sU9U
"Ready?" I ask grasping her hand in mine again, she's not objecting. Holding the door again we brace for the snow before trekking over to the canteen. I glance up at the icy blue sky and she chuckles slightly watching me.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZfqS3mMts
"It's so different when it snows huh" I say softly and she laughs.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0npydQjFsr
"No I mean it" I laugh as she smirks at me.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZ6XCSZVc2
"It's like the clouds are lower the sky is just white" I tell her and she watches me looking up.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoetmZzRXIG
"It's because there's so much snow everything just looks white and fluffy" she laughs.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRDuCp6SBS
"White and fluffy" I giggle and she smiles.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgrvEOwVM9
Gazing around the room and even checking the balconies I mentally thank my lucky stars that Rach is not in the refectory. In fact none of our friends are currently eating or lounging by the pool tables. Taylor peruses the food outlets and I encourage her to choose whatever she would like. She slips a few danishes onto a tray and a Diet Coke and I grab a black coffee from the machine.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktW0UYydzm
Carrying the small tray to a sofa by the flatscreen and the bookcases, I take a seat first and she joins me. After a while of staring at the flat screen watching other guys eye her up and drinking my coffee she turns to me and smiles.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYXo4wjTpm
"Jay thanks, for sitting here with me and for earlier" she explains softly and I grin.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOM6PznLiP
"Anytime babe" I say, all but pinching myself. Taylor very much used to show me how much she was displeased by me. Yet now she's thanking me just for being here. I place my arm around her shoulders, confidently resting one foot over my knee.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabf2BWfHd1
"So you and Rach?" She asks smiling up at me.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lrhQzLpfY
"No it's not like that really" I tell her and she looks confused, briefly worried about everything.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDzsZFBikF
"And does she know that Jay" she asks. I smile at her to reassure her, my cheekiest grin.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgI0V8w1dU
"Ugh I don't wanna know do I?" She smirks her hand resting on my thigh.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0hgND236N
"Can I be honest" I say, this is a risk. I live by them.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWS6jpuyksQ
"Please" she smiles over at me. I pause and watch her. It's a moment for me, I'm about to be honest with a girl. For the first time ever.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNA4qYDLieo
"You know that since I first saw you at Matthew's I've liked you right?" I admit looking into her eyes.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjC999OyJql
"You do not. And if so why are you with Rach?" She says watching me.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uRfodRSrs
"Because it's complicated and I will not tell you I like you again, I said it once. I meant it and now you can just I don't know pretend you didn't hear it if you must" I chuckle.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgPPT1Taez
Leaning back, I feel her finally relax, she stops shaking and I smile as she sips hers coke. My jumper covers her skirt entirely and I want to touch her tights on her legs. Surely she is aware of how irresistible she is, I think idly eyeing her legs whilst she watches the flatscreen, something about the weather and how it's snowing and therefore news.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TmEOdHQIL
Ignoring the news, I imagine her in my jumper and just my jumper. How I could run my hands up her thighs and then over her hips. I could do so much with this girl, I could grab her hip bones and pull her into my body.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9oeQrJXhE
"What do you like about me ?" She says glancing up, as if feeling my stare on her. It's a direct question and I blush.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjMuLOgFIp
"Initially I liked the way you challenged me, even when we first met. And your confidence. I like your smart mouth, And the way you talk back to me" I say smiling genuinely, not having to fake it is refreshing for me. Not having to guess what they want to hear but instead being honest is enthralling.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbp40FnpwQN
"And obviously how beautiful you are and the smoking hot body that you have. I love how you dress and your style" I add whispering in her ear, I glance down at her hips and bite my lip.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qpq18qY0i
"I could add more babe" I chuckle as she watches me silently.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreo20WSBKA
"That was too honest, I'm sorry" I say to her, smiling.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGfiVOsF8j
"I know you don't like me, that's okay babe I'm an awful person" I say softly.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzuxgGi0vS
"Jay, I think you want people to think that you are an awful person. I don't think you actually are an awful person" she says looking at me, blue eyes searching me, telling me what I want to hear.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHRJDEqUr6
I drape my arm down and around her. Going slow is hard for me. Im used to girls falsely being all over me. But this I find is not a bad thing, It's new, and it's Taylor. I'm excited each time I try something because I enjoy seeing how she will react. Will she reciprocate? Or will she slap me? It's all a huge bargain. Taylor relaxes, I feel it in her body. She is cold and she leans against me, for warmth. I can feel her slender frame against me.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNRGbfso3w
"You're not awful you just do stupid things" she says. Oh how I wish that were true.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZ1zS0MbnM
"I'm literally seeing Rachel for no reason, I'm awful. I like you and in the past I've been a dick to you" I whisper my hand massaging her side, over her waist. There's not a chance I would mistake her perfume, it's Armani.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKFemm5dFK
My hands trace circles on her hips and she is letting me. She is naughty. We're bad together. We both are with other people.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGtn6f3w4w
"I'm sorry for being a dick. I want you to know that I will do my best to make that up to you" I whisper holding her and looking up at the flatscreen which has moved on from the weather.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAx3KUOLc0
"This is a good start" she chuckles, picking up a danish and delicately taking a bite.
