Taylor’s POV

“Oh hey there dropout” Stiffy smirks at me, joining our group. We were supposed to study music together this year, except I changed my mind on enrolment day. Having felt that studying both music and dance alongside psychology would be too demanding.

“Oh can I see your guitar” I ask him and he smiles, nodding. Stiffy, or Steven, is a quiet guy. Shy almost, although he nods at Jay opening up his guitar case and pulling out an ebony acoustic guitar. It’s sleek and I can’t wait to get my hands on it.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFRpA1WpDC
He smiles as if giving me permission to give it a go.
Matthew relaxes next to me as I start to play. It has a lovely tone and I play a few songs. Clipping the capo on I play the song I made for Matthew as he strokes my side.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBgCN2pAGa
"Why did you not take music again?" Steven laughs sipping his coffee.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOg00F1ASn2
"I wanted to focus on dance" I tell him seriously; looking down at his guitar before handing it back to him.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFTTRpHY7V
"You're like really good though did you take grades" he asks me.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIObHO1dzYe
"Actually I did" I respond as Matthew strokes my hair.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCD31MeCqzE
"Grade 8? I'm guessing" he says and I nod to him.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPv8PHEdBUn
"So if I have to record some guitar tracks for my coursework you can play it, and I'll mix it saying it's mine" he laughs jovially and I chuckle.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JA76lcBQB
"Actually seriously I've got to record a take of Bob Dylan. Would you be able to do a rendition for me. I’m being graded on how I mix the track" he asks me genuinely interested.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATj78BGXec
"Pass it back ?" I ask him, wondering if I remember any Bob Dylan tracks. He passes me the guitar again.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaNoDdFHMf
Stroking the strings again I start practising. Quietly singing at the same time. I glance up at Jay as he lounges back watching me, Ive not sang in front of many people before so this is a first for me. Steven nods along happily. Matthew strokes my thigh, he loves my voice. Many of our evenings involve him drawing accompanied by me singing and playing guitar. Often he starts singing along when he can't help himself. Ceasing my rendition of knockin’ on heavens door I catch Jay briefly gazing at me before he looks away cool.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkNyQtwBIA
"Yes, I'll sing and play it for you, let me know when" I tell Steven handing him back his guitar.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OofVe1nRr
"Didn't realise you could sing as well Tay" Jay asks.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QRCYLzYlo
"Most people can sing, Jay" I tell him.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaK7LHaO9iC
"No I mean like professionally" he says, drinking the last of his espresso.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNg1sxX8ugY
"Oh I'm not professional" I smile over at him, expecting him to tease me.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0hrgOOt2T
He doesn't. He doesn't wink or pull his stupid grin. He just stares. And that is worse. I think I’ve broken him with my singing, so I look away. Placing my phone back in my handbag, and glancing over my side to Ross.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTjUuISod5
“See you tomorrow ?" I ask him softly hoping that we can walk into psychology together again.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34aFvZ2jbu
"Yeah look forward to it" he replies casually, eyeing Matthew just briefly. And the ring on my finger.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcezrAKe7vZ
"I wonder if it will be about social conformity again" Jay says including himself in the conversation.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHv5H03SzUs
"Ah you just love that topic" I say shooting him a look across the table, glad that we’re back to teasing one another rather than him gazing into my eyes.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuycaKuKhWR
"Not as much as you" he laughs, and it’s better to be teased by him than him acting nice and genuine towards me. I watch as he nods to Matthew before we leave. Giving Ross a quick hug as I stare over his shoulder at Jay and his intense cerulean eyes.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaQKkQN9DF
Matthew opens up the 4x4 and I climb in next to him; it’s a relatively quick journey from university. He takes the highway and within minutes we’re pulling into our drive, the fresh air hits me as we get out of the car. The weather officially turning cooler, the Californian black oak outside Matthew’s place has been littering its leaves all over the drive. Just past our back yard we are lucky to have a whole host of trees including pines and sycamores, which during the autumn months, I have found are beautiful to explore.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCD4cVAWWKr
"What are you grinning about?" He asks me as I trudge up the driveway to the porch. Matthew has a large wooden deck outside the front door, with a small round table and two chairs on it.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06TX1wSfAA
"I was just thinking we're back home together, and that makes me happy" I tell him as he pulls me into him once we’ve climbed up the steps to the porch.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIm7OGI0LXx
"I mean this is our place now" I say holding him and pulling him in.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuswAIiV0IL
“And it’s autumn, the leaves are falling and we can start having cosy walks in the forest” I laugh.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNSxZmSQTJ
He can't resist it. I've learned Matty really does have a softer side, for me anyways. I place my hands under his shirt enjoying the warmth emanating from him. His grin stretches across his face, I stare at him before me. His warm brunette hair and tanned complexion, the green of his eyes. It strikes me that he fits in with the autumnal landscape just perfectly, with his warm ruddy cheeks and the chocolate tones of his hair.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7409Bm5zZ6
Unlocking the door he kicks it open, lifting me up so that my legs are wrapped around him. I laugh as he carries me into our home resting his keys on the small oak table to the side of the front door. He easily carries me up the oak staircase across the hall as I gaze out of the window at the forest to the back of our home and eventually into our room.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7JoukV6Ph
Matthew sets me down against the wall, stroking up my arms and holding them above my head. As he pins me to the wall he takes my skirt off to reveal my leotard. He sucks his breath in clearly pleased, standing back and just eyeing me breathlessly.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyNJM2uryN
"These suit you, a lot" he says softly.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVNwSpqake
"You can undo it down there too" I tell him as his hands explore between my legs playing with the material. He quickly undoes it, I hear the popper snap open, and see his smile when he realises I have nothing under it. He pulls off his jeans and within one swift movement he is possessing me whilst pinning me against the wall.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64yJz7J0z4
Matthew is strong, in fact it is barely any effort for him to hold me up and thrust into me. I'm quite shocked that he is not more tired.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTvmkuMbwm
"Matty, this is intense" I tell him kissing his neck.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHc18Jf51SK
"This is what you get for teasing me all day" he whispers in my ear.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyUDcui2D5
“With these boots” he smiles his hands brushing the top of them as they reach my thighs.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyThHFxPAt
“And this” he whispers pulling down the top of my leotard.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssoyMg7X38
"You're so strong" I chuckle and he grins. It's the sexiest thing ever. How he isn’t even breaking a sweat is beyond me.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6VpA5MAIH
"I love you" he tells me possessively, thrusting into me harder.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtXI2ATS3s
"I have been waiting to fuck you since this morning" he whispers.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5j1cOi5117
"Every guy has eyed you up in front of me today" he smirks.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHuiVP9YeO
"But you're mine" he says in my ear softly.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwsiDDzWLS
I smile a wide grin just watching him as he holds onto my clasped hands.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6vFSBMMD5
"I'm yours Matthew, all yours. I love you" I tell him as he moans in my ear. I sigh, a deep heavy sigh as he finishes at the same time as me. Matthew holds me in his arms, kissing me over and over everywhere.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3RWJeDbwd
"That was excellent" I tell him as he looks up to face me.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWG4brddeLw
We're still not using condoms. But I decided, that the contraceptive pill would work for me. Matty took me to my GP of course, and we got a prescription for three months worth of the contraceptive pill. So far no mood swings or excessive weight gain. And no pregnancy.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDR6aI57qVo
Glancing in the wardrobe that we share, I pull out one of his khaki green jumpers, its cashmere and I love it against my skin. Tying my hair up in a high ponytail I turn to face him and he smirks hugging me into his chest.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSvD0MkgcY
"Let’s order Chinese tonight instead of cooking" he smiles down at me before guiding me down stairs to lay in front of the fire. Matthew tends it and gets it going before heading into our open plan kitchen and putting the kettle on the stove.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASxcBDTmG7
Flicking through the flatscreen and idly watching the flames lick up the chimney breast, I settle for a typical action movie and then scroll through my phone.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iMYOAwa2a
A notification comes through from Jay, mr Gilbert Scott southern Viking. Curiosity gets the better of me so I read it for a laugh. Remembering his icy blue stare earlier in the refectory.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4H508wl8u
Will you also be sitting with me tomorrow in psychology?
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2jmc3v4Jq
I had snubbed him earlier when I asked Ross to meet me before psychology. It’s clearly and unintentionally annoyed him. I sigh looking at the flames again. Deliberating what to say, I decide that teasing him is the best way for me to proceed.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggpL1XORpw
Shouldn’t social conformists sit with their own kind and not with rebellious angsty non conformists? Grow up.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2fPqnuspR
I smile to myself, just visualising the way he will smirk at that message and bite his lip. I imagine him in his apartment looking out at his own flatscreen most likely watching a similar action movie and laughing to himself.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5l5dicJJqQ
Do I have to remind you that you are younger than me? I like your brand of social conformity, it’s endearing. Perhaps it’s rubbing off on me.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJhvIZlNnv
I chuckle, fiercely tapping back my reply, he’s undoubtedly funny. The southern Viking does have some good attributes.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqsIgVHh2K
Younger in age not mindset. I must suggest then, if I’m rubbing off on you, that you immediately seek better company in psychology.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gWcUiW4eH
He replies instantly and I find myself smiling again.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5l59VfPqz
Not a chance, you’re good for me. See you tomorrow.
