Taylor's POV
91Please respect copyright.PENANAnY90GDW421
Opening my eyes, I pull at the drip in my arm wincing from the pain and the heaviness of my arms.
91Please respect copyright.PENANAEV2CjAw4GG
“Taylor” Matthew’s voice enters my consciousness, I pull my eyes open and see his concerned expression. The tiredness evident all over his face. The brightness of the hospital lights hurting my eyes, I close them again.
91Please respect copyright.PENANAG04GvVAWwz
“Matthew” I croak feeling his hands go over me.
91Please respect copyright.PENANAqqqzK4hwOK
“What happened” I say as he watches me, craning my neck to look around the room. A double en-suite room in the hospital, flatscreen and sofas with a view over the city, Gilbert Scott in the bed next to mine. Flowers on the side and two bowls of fruit. Fresh towels and a coffee machine on a large coffee table. Fancy is my only thought.

"What's up" I ask him, forcing my eyes open again despite the morning light.
91Please respect copyright.PENANAYTLX48PiMe
"You and Jay" he begins and I panic thinking he knows already about the kiss.
91Please respect copyright.PENANAU4Kvht3qyg
"You smoked laced cannabis accidentally and you both passed out. I thought you were…" he says flustered.
91Please respect copyright.PENANAG23jjAQsd3
“The doctors have given you an antidote” he explains and I look at him bizarrely as if my life is now part of some silly movie plot. Antidotes and laced substances. Hospital rooms that look like hotels. Blonde Viking’s that fall in love with me. It’s just bizarre.
91Please respect copyright.PENANAbBVqr3Qh3a
“Laced with what !?” I ask him and he winces.
91Please respect copyright.PENANAtIxt55GwcT
“Heroin” he explains softly.
91Please respect copyright.PENANA1VVwgqLYIn
“Had you of had anymore you may have had an overdose” he shakes slightly. Instantly I glance at Jay reassuring myself with the look of his chest rising and falling.
91Please respect copyright.PENANA1OvAOx1mtu
“Is he okay he almost had the whole thing” I ask Matthew and he nods, I notice how his hand shakes.
91Please respect copyright.PENANAV7vplzrvDP
“You’ll both be fine” Matthew reassures me.
Closing my eyes I briefly remember the spinning, how the bathroom was moving before my very eyes. My inhibitions completely gone, losing control over my body, it all adds up.
91Please respect copyright.PENANAKAr8PLQXpv
“The doctors have advised that perhaps we do a test” he says eyes watching me and I turn to him slowly.
91Please respect copyright.PENANAEHqQGZQJ38
“A pregnancy test” he explains softly as I nod at him.
91Please respect copyright.PENANAUevz0Yv2Yl
“Just because of everything but if you don’t want too then that is fine also” he explains as I grasp his hand and hold on feeling like this may be the worst hangover I’ve ever experienced.
91Please respect copyright.PENANAOcd5n1u4qF
“Are you saying we could be” I say to him as he stands up from my bedside. He kisses my lips softly and I gingerly wrap my arms around him tears pricking at my eyes. It’s possible that we could have conceived considering our sex life and the serious lack of protection.
91Please respect copyright.PENANA7NnnuiOxmh
As I pull Matthew into my chest I remember Gilbert Scott kissing me in Ryan’s bathroom last night. I have betrayed our relationship and it is unforgivable. Truly this is something that I should tell Matthew, it would be the correct and honourable thing to do. Right now though lying in a hospital bed, like a coward I refuse to bring it up. There will be a right moment to disclose the details of my treachery, however after discussing that I may be pregnant with Matthew’s child, I decide this is not the right time.

“Again, Taylor” he smiles down at me, a wry smile that tells me he thinks he has me exactly where he wants me.
91Please respect copyright.PENANAL81pNHVQhs
“You want me again?” He smiles and I can’t help but to get wrapped up in his embrace. I bury my head in his chest snelling his cologne.
91Please respect copyright.PENANAd5zFqvFRFU
“Jay” I sigh as his lips connect with my own, seizing this moment. Opening my eyes, I watch him deliberate what he’s going to do with me next. I decide to take charge pulling his lips back into my own, kissing him possessively. He gasps throwing his arms around me, lifting up my leg and holding my entire weight up as he presses me against the wall. I sigh and moan as he possesses me; not needing to be asked twice.
91Please respect copyright.PENANANZByhqLDlp
Opening my eyes in the hospital with his name on my lips, I stroke my hair back and sigh, wondering when the dreams will end so that I can move on with my normal life.
91Please respect copyright.PENANAay4iYwTZQf
“Taylor” he whispers over to me and I turn to face his hospital bed. The heater on full blast, making our hospital suite feel more like a sauna, Matthew had explained before he left earlier that Jay had paid for private healthcare, so this suite is both exceptionally clean and includes the best amenities. The large flatscreen is off at the moment as it’s most likely the middle of the night.
91Please respect copyright.PENANA51hrgLeCOB
“You want something” he smirks at me, most likely having heard my calls for him in my sleep.
91Please respect copyright.PENANAbrTLPzXXX1
“Stop it” I laugh and he chuckles.
91Please respect copyright.PENANAKNtI0pa70u
“How are you feeling” he asks me seriously swinging his legs over the side of his bed, I glance at the clock but it is far too dark to even read the time. Hearing the storm bash against the sash windows I watch him closely in the glow of the moon. Dressed in an Armani t-shirt, with Calvin Klein joggers he paces over to me.
91Please respect copyright.PENANAgA4406Zrf8
“Tender yet better” I tell him flustered suddenly panicking about being physically close to him, I have no control over how I feel, being close to him stirs up a whole host of emotions for me. Ever since he came to find me in the snow, and saved me, my brain has labelled him a Protector, somebody safe.
91Please respect copyright.PENANA1HpwVkDQv3
“How are you” I say as he stands above my bed looking every bit as beautiful as he did in my dream.
91Please respect copyright.PENANAqsvOxy3YuM
“Where are you tender” he asks whispering to me, ignoring my question.
91Please respect copyright.PENANAVncOO5QnEh
“My head and my arms” I tell him.
91Please respect copyright.PENANAZBkF6Y9K8V
“Okay slide over” he instructs me giggling.
91Please respect copyright.PENANAvJo96LweQ2
“I won’t do anything like that!” He laughs as I hesitate.
91Please respect copyright.PENANAUUT9m1zaUC
“Not until you ask me too” he says sexily, glancing at my engagement ring briefly. Sliding into the bed next to me he lays on his back and I prop my head up on his chest.
91Please respect copyright.PENANAemeWaQInah
“I would never ever knowingly give you laced drugs” he whispers and I nod.
91Please respect copyright.PENANA4Hq3GoX9d6
“Never, I’m so sorry.” He whispers stroking my forehead and massaging my temples.
91Please respect copyright.PENANAqLanII2Hdt
“I know, you’d be pretty silly to smoke it yourself too knowingly” I laugh and he chuckles, I can feel his giggle as it reverberates through me.
91Please respect copyright.PENANARusOfyplJk
“I shouldn’t have cornered you in the bathroom” he says and I look up at him briefly.
91Please respect copyright.PENANANMW6B0nTnI
“It was unfair and I apologise, you had said you didn’t want to kiss me and I still pursued you” he explains and I smile slightly shocked by his apology. I listen in on his heartbeat, steady and strong.
91Please respect copyright.PENANAVnOl2xWARe
“You do not need to stress” he says softly and I smile.
91Please respect copyright.PENANAaOLABC1YVW
“I will not be telling Matthew” he whispers as his fingertips brush my arm up and down again.
91Please respect copyright.PENANAjNSbsshEf9
“I will not be doing anything to you until you explicitly tell me that’s what you want. The last thing I want is for you to think I’m taking advantage of you” he smirks and I giggle slightly.
91Please respect copyright.PENANA4NIBnkxzP3
“So try and stop calling my name out would you” he whispers his hand stroking down my arm softly.
91Please respect copyright.PENANATtIm40iGkk
“Did I say anything embarrassing before I blacked out it’s just your face was so alarmed and then you smiled and then I couldn’t see” I tell him.
91Please respect copyright.PENANA2sJ7mAQG2a
“You said that I smelt good and outdoorsy” he chuckles and I bury my head into his chest laughing.
91Please respect copyright.PENANAyc2FKBCUCQ
“Im sorry too” I say after a pause.
91Please respect copyright.PENANACiW9RPo5k1
“I will make sure that I don’t keep leading you on” I tell him softly.
91Please respect copyright.PENANAhuhv1YzEk5
“I do like you though Taylor, it is worth adding that I like being your friend. I like you being in my life” he says stroking my arm.
91Please respect copyright.PENANA0ucnIg7cU6
“I like you being in my life too” I say softly and he sighs pulls me into his chest, telling me to rest. One light brush of his lips to my forehead and I find myself falling asleep in his arms.
