Taylors POV
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63DNzWQ5Ht
Scattered seating like loveseats and velvet chairs surround an open fire just over from the large modern kitchen. A dangling chandelier illuminates the room and I smile slightly as I walk over to the others, I stand next to Jay. I glance up at him and smile as Rachel is in full swing, downing drinks. He rubs my arm with his thumb, his fingers going over my wrist before pulling away and then giving me a bit of space. Clearing his throat and standing just slightly away from me.

"Hey, I forgot your drink, I'm sorry" Rach says to Jay stumbling over to us, he steadies her on her approach and we all take a seat. Rachel perched on his knee, I sit down beside him on a navy blue velvet sofa. Matthew comes to join us with my drink.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGHtzqQ9R3
"Taylor made me one" Jay replies to Rachel and she rolls her eyes.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYyYbD9pQV
The bottle spins on the marble table and I shift in my seat, Jay rests his gaze on me and rolls his eyes.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIS5rsrNEB
"You're such a fidget" he laughs and I swat him. He grasps my hand and tickles me as I giggle. The bottle lands on Matthew. Rachel spins it again smiling over at me. It lands on another girl that I don't know. She's not attractive, Jealous pot that I am, I inspect her blonde hair and green eyes.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFwWof9QCd
"Matty" she says by way of greeting him. I grow annoyed that she knows him and I don't know her, call me petty. I turn to Jay, tipsily and he appraises my lips.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGI1dzEwFBx
"Who's that?" I ask him, quietly as Matthew stands to give mystery blonde girl a kiss.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdF3SmFxfc
"Not a clue" he faces me, his lips close to mine, he lingers and I pull myself away to watch, taking a sip of my cocktail as Matthew kisses her on the cheek. Unbuttoning his shirt as he returns and letting it hang open. My hand invades his body instantly and I know it's clingy, but I can't help it.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1xrTOG9Xs
"Who's that?" I ask Matty openly as he stares down at me tipsily. He shrugs and I giggle as he kisses my neck lightly.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IuthTjxV7
"I think she's in my media lecture" he adds.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrc7073vKbi
"Matty, you need to take a shot" Rach directs him as he picks up a red plastic cup and downs it grimacing as he does. I lean onto his chest and he puts his arms around me, comfortably.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRft699Cje5
"Rachel, would you like to make some more cocktails" I ask her over Jay's lap.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxvfsaACQf
"Definitely" she laughs over at me, bumbling around with the bottle.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmrvTIgs0d
"But first it's your go" she says pointing to the bottle.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qU2DOoAPz
"Okay but I can't take anything off" I explain laughing as the bottle points at me. She spins it again hushing me and it settles on Ryan. Stepping around the marble table in my louboutins I bend to give him a kiss as he lounges in his chair. He holds onto my waist briefly before I pull away.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOHEyqgou7
"Getting you a drink, I promised I would be feeding you brandy" I laugh bending over Matthew as he watches my chest avidly. He nods and kisses me slowly before I strut myself over to the bar through the archway and over to the double doors.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOZ8fsRdYW
Standing in the bar, I notice the brandy bottle is empty and so I grab a second one. I pour some into Matthew's glass and hum along to the song, feeling Gilbert Scott's stare before he laughs at the doorway.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCXRk2BCMO
"Ohh shh" I tell him over my shoulder.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2NNShLAWE
"What's your problem anyways?" I ask him taking his glass and filling it up.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuSILHoU1X
"Are you trying to get me drunk Taylor" he smirks pushing the door over and leaning on it. The Armani blazer removed and his Ralph shirt discarded, I focus on anywhere but his chest. It's pointless though, as his natural blonde hair looks wonderful pulled back and his blue eyes are ones I've dreamed about.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sugj8pUrW
"Not a chance babe" I tell him handing him a brandy, sighing at his sour expression.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikh8ZwBn1G
"Please, don't call me that" he says looking down at me intently, his fingertip distractedly stroking my waistline.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1QpskiBvq
"Why?" I whisper gazing up at him.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSbZbWr2vi
"Because I'm not yours" he says simply, winking at me.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWduooejha
"I know" I say quietly, biting my lip just waiting for him to do something. Either push me away or pull me in.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8HJQvukEw
"And don't do that" he says touching my lips with his finger.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aApoDgK7T
"What?" I ask innocently, daring to touch him stroking his chest just once.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweyCMYnso3
"You know what" he says his other hand holding onto my hips.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJO2gDGATx
"I don't babe" I tell him looking directly into his eyes. His eyes penetrate mine, this is dangerously close, it only takes one of us to seize the opportunity for us to be locked in a romantic embrace.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuz5vsTAXq
"Shhh" he whispers smiling.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSX3eXmCiR
"Show me how you feel about me" he says quietly, he's standing right behind the door.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKL7TFZM1j
"I won't say anything to anybody I promise" he says in my ear, a smile on his lips as he strokes my hips and I sigh.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAY0oTnKkct
"I don't need you to be my girlfriend, I just need you to admit that you feel something for me" he continues.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XkqgrTVsx
His lips caress my skin, moving down my neck, his hand pulls my hips in towards him. It's the first time he's ever placed his lips on me, my skin catches on fire and I run my hands up his back. And Lord I hate myself for betraying my own feelings for Matty.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46hHpB3h3Q
"Mmm" I say in his ear before I can stop myself.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGH1X4UugGD
"Fuck" he says pulling away from me briefly.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTYbC6MMNs
"I need you Taylor." he whispers looking into my eyes.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TlEPNohar
Closing the gap between us again, he seizes my lips with his own and sighs slightly after he kisses me slowly just once to begin with. Slow kisses that build up to an intensity whereby his tongue is invading my mouth. His hands are on my thighs brushing them. My body invites him in returning his kiss. My hands go in his hair and I pull slightly.
I start thinking about it all and gently push him off. He pulls away from me and stares into my eyes, wildly. And he's beautiful when he's in the moment.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCr4AnM3dp
"Jay" I say getting my breath back, he kisses me softly one more time.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPjmUNxu9r
"We can't Jay" I tell him as he watches me intently.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0rgFVyK49
"I like it when you say my name" he smiles down at me.
"Just one more, I won't say a thing" he tells me as he lightly brushes my lips again with his own, cheekily.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoyvJ6zwTF
His eyes are searching mine, waiting on my every move. This isn't just a conquest for him, I realise as he stands watching me very seriously. When did this all change for him, I begin to wonder. When did he decide that he liked me and didn't just want to get with me.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Kx7g7WdK8
"Okay." He chuckles softly.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8cGZmf64a
"I'm sorry" he utters and I'm flabbergasted. Taking a step back from me and raising his hands up as if to say I'm not going to touch you he strokes his hair back and looks down at me with puppy dog eyes. I smirk at him and he smiles undeniably cutely.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtzR9KY1de
"I thought, you wanted me to kiss you. Won't happen again" he says smiling. Lighting up a cigarette, he offers me one but I refuse, he leans back on the table and smokes watching my reaction. I stare at him unbelieving and totally shocked at his apology for coming onto me.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCKHgDwZKC
"Would you mind avoiding me completely for a little bit. Just because you ugh have a way of getting under my skin and into my head and I'd rather not see you like that" he adds eyeing my legs.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qwCsBMY6l
"Sure that's reasonable" I tell him quietly finally speaking and processing what's going on.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuDGt9VNih
"Or you could just not look at me" I chuckle.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GoNZLT6BG
"Thanks Taylor, I will try that" he says smiling back at me.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUe2q8wPAe
Walking over to the kitchen island that he is leaning against, I open a bottle of wine and he watches me.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdQzJdmxUm
"Here" he says taking the bottle and pouring me a glass.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3PIg9Mg1C
"You should try it first, sample it" he smiles, he hands me a small glass and smirks.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfhr6iBTrk
"Something I learnt from my mum" he explains softly. I sip the wine and close my eyes.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZjOBvIZJd
"It's gorgeous" I say softly as I open my eyes and he smiles down at me. He pours me a full glass and I just watch him stunned.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bs4dqHLHd
"You deserve a lot in life Taylor" he whispers pouring himself a small glass as I almost bolt from the room.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4skyxlznDn
"I can give you that" he whispers a smile on his face as he downs the rest of the wine and takes charge leading me into the other room.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvAYCH9Y74
I follow Jay noticing how he reaches his hand behind him, I hold onto it briefly and giggle.the party has certainly picked up, more guests have arrived, the lights dimmed and the music louder.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwx65Fcvf8M
"Please sit with me for a minute bestie I haven't caught up with you for time" Rhea catches me and I smiles genuinely as she bats her eyelashes.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4G6jQ8XHtp
"Oh hey Mr southern Viking" Rhea laughs and I elbow her.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uLZZ7cY1M
"Hey there Rhea" he smiles warmly and she laughs.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkiGqFyaAx
"Of course, let me just give Matthew his drink" I tell her, leaving them to socialise and heading over to Matthew. My beautiful fiancée that I just cheated on. Let's not forget the facts kissing another male, especially his best friend, in private is cheating. Determined to set things right I head over to Matthew, and decide I should most likely avoid Jay from now on. Mr southern Viking indeed.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oZHgcjPAF
Matthew is talking nicely to Rachel, handing him his drink as I smile down at him. I kiss him softly and he smiles happily up at me, he's tipsier than I am and I chuckle as his hands explore everywhere. He catches my hand and sits me on his lap.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisEyVBFUN8
"I just need to talk to Rhea" I whisper to him sweetly.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGUiUbthgE
"Am I more sober than you!?" I ask him, teasing.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXKt2gzb6s
"Possibly" he says laughing stroking my hair back over my shoulder.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhBBHOTJbY
"Yeah Tay, I think he's going to need a lap dance soon" Rach laughs and I wink at her.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatIhs50TC0
"Okay" I say standing up and leaning over him.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Edv7Ro2Yw
"You're gonna need some music for that" I chuckle.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdqeN2E52D
"Actually yes Ryan, better music please" she calls over to him. Standing unsteadily and heading over to help him as he's also drunk. She stumbles half way but somehow manages not to fall, I notice she ditched her heels and I laugh to myself. I marvel at how she completely ignores Jay all the time, even though they're together. Well at least she's not as bad as me I tell myself. I just kissed Jay back, and I'm very much engaged.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0obhia717
I pull Matthew up and he smiles, taking in my entire body, I lift his chin up to my own and kiss him slowly before guiding him across the room to Rhea.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqzXzA1uUr
"Hey" I tell Rhea sitting down on Matty's lap next to her and Jay on yet another velvet sofa, next to a bookcase which I stare at briefly missing Ross.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9A9cQ3NKl
"Wheres Malachi?" I ask her, pulling an arm around Matthew's neck as Jay watches my every move.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa89Qt7EbQS
"He's working" she says smiling proud as punch.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARY3aGGM9m
"Ohhh that's so good" I say stroking Matty's hair with my hand as he closes his eyes briefly.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMHY00tAo8
"What is it" I inquire and she smiles.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKptv0ng8A
"He's a backup security guard, learning on the job" she says proudly and I nod imagining him. Ring quite effective. Not because of his bulk but because of his calm attitude.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBFtWwK5iz
"Wow fantastic, say congrats to him. If I don't see him soon" I tell her beaming, the wine has made me wine drunk. I sip some more crossing my leg over the other, my anklet shining under the fancy lights.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7jLWaCnJd
"So what have you guys been doing?" She asks inquiringly as she sips a glass of wine, I assume Jay poured her a glass too.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWUK919UEv
"How's Ross" she adds eyeing me warily.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaj1kSEUsTT
"He will be out in a few days" I say optimistically as Matthew rubs my thigh.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4NePz6tdv
"It's all my fault really I should have stopped him because of the snow" I tell her and she shakes her head, disagreeing with me.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejKBvtf4C3
"It's not Taylor, and you saved his life going and searching for him like that" Jay says as Rhea eyes him in shock.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BdayZdk46
"You did babe, I'm sure he will thank you somehow it is Ross" Matthew laughs and I smirk at him.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LDVhfqBnn
"He's going to be fine, and you did all you could babe. Now drink up. I've never seen Matty more drunk than you" Rhea laughs and I smile at her warmly.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUIfKsNCg7
"A shot?" She says passing me a shot of tequila.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqqzQoF1u9
"A shot indeed" I say to her downing. it. Having finally worked out the sound system Ryan and Rachel manage to get on some great dance music, I cannot help it my body reacts. Matthew clears his throat and I smile down at him.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8VEhdhGXS
"Ugh babe, please that's not fair" he laughs cheekily.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZOCWmxovf
"Shh" I tell him facing him on his lap, he pushes his brunette hair back and bites his lip.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzUour50f0
"You're literally bouncing on top of me" he defends himself and I smirk.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfRZ1qh4Vc
"That's never been a problem before" I tell him.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsO0Gq3JmIb
Rhea is talking to Jay and I'm really happy he's making an effort with her. Rhea looks great tonight, wearing an all black sleek gown that shows off her figure.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafIrszM6QY
"You keep doing that and I'm carrying you upstairs right now" Matty says blushing looking over at me.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBxDVjYBR9
"Go on then" I whisper in Matty's ear. I stroke his hair with my hand and he closes his eyes briefly.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnb80bDDp6i
"You are not taking her anywhere, Matthew" Rhea laughs. We both turn to face them.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUOnEVXPrk
"Ah why not?" Matty complains holding onto my hips.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8ulqEIOly
"I have not been in her company for too fucking long" she says smiling at him and his angelic looking face.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5P051cgubV
"And we are dancing the night away" I add smiling at Rhea and taking another shot of tequila.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41Hci2Zi6J
"Okay fair but can you stand up and do it, preferably in front of me" Matthew laughs stroking my thigh.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvSM1AoEVq
"Ohh it's like that" I laugh kissing him. He lights up a cigarette and smiles up at me, daring me to dance in front of everyone.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8xAp9HIxz
"I dance for you what do I get in return" I ask sweetly sipping my wine.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9RlsZGncl
"What would you like? You have everything already?" He says cheekily rubbing my bare back.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IRdSqcHxJ
"I would like your undivided attention for the rest of the night babe" I tell him.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZBAz9rxcn
"Easy, that was not a good bargain Taylor. You always have my attention" he laughs and kisses me sweetly.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHYhKGc5JI
Rachel stumbles over, clearly bored of Ryan, and sits on Jays knee as he kisses her. He eyes her warily, trying to work out how drunk she is.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvREip7GDDg
"So Tay teach me some moves" Rach says laughing and I smile over at her.
