Taylor's POV
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILhR8pTGng
As I glance over at Matthew, driving us back home, he had collected me from Jay's and I am almost positive that he's uncomfortable with my being around him. Regarding his tense expression, I decide that telling him about the blood is not the best idea. I watch him grip onto the wheel before he indicates into our road.

"How was art" I say softly rubbing his thigh and he relaxes next to me.

"It was okay, we should stay off university for a bit" he says eyeing me warily concern shadowing his face in the gloomy dark car. The street lights illuminate his cheekbones as he passes by and I watch him.

"It's tiring you out Taylor; we need to take it easy. I cant always be there for you if I'm distracted with art or exhibits or anything else" he explains, we have a couple of weeks before Christmas break and I need to fulfil my role in the dance performance. I protest and he pulls up in the drive coming around to my side and helping me out of the car.

My absolute first thought is to check on the blood in the bathroom as we head into the house. I practically bound up the stairs and lock myself in the bathroom. Pulling at my clothes worried, I strip off and eye my bump in the mirror. Turning to the side and seeing the curve protrude from my tummy I smile. I stroke over bump and feel a sense of relief that there is no fresh new blood to be found. Pulling on Matthew’s striped button up shirt I descend the wooden staircase intent on relieving his worries, now that mine have also been eased.

Watching him from the door, I lean on the wooden frame and he looks up smiling. I had changed into his shirt, the button up one that I wear continually. The buttons just stretching around the bump as I wear it in front of him. His arms encircle me in the hall and he carries me up the stairs, his mouth to mine.

"Sorry for being heavy handed" he whispers laying me down on our bed and moving the shirt up to kiss down my belly. I giggle and he smiles up at me.
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AnNpMfeS1
"University is important, I just worry." He sighs and I place my hands through his hair.
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OP7zyJySC
"I'm happy that you were safe and warm and eating pizza instead of sitting waiting in the cold too" he admits and a small smiles stretches across my lips.
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgw73NXkbrp
"I thank him for that at least" he sighs and chuckles. Rubbing his back softly as he lays in my chest I feel his breathing deepen and smile. I pull my hands through his curls and he sighs before kissing me sleepily. Matthew rolls over and I check my phone briefly, intending on googling spotting and blood during the second trimester. Glancing through my messages I notice one from Gilbert Scott.

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTZC7n5X4a
I tap a message back to him smiling and wait for his reply.
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpMALkO5j2
You are more than welcome to my ice cream. Fancy another revision session in a couple weeks. We need to catch Ross up x
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBERHtCmbX
I send back to him and eagerly await his reply.
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8ygNzvW8o
You're a square. Don't worry I'm eating it right this very moment. Yes curry this time? Do you like curry?x
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXlKBcIEEU
He replies and I smirk looking down at my phone in the dark. Running my hands through Matthew’s hair as I read it.
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSNawKYa0H
Yes I'll make you one, better than any takeout I promise x
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpB8PTlrK7T
I type back and Matthew huddles closer to me.
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy02EbGsPxj
Wish I could call you and describe this ice cream to you, it's exquisite just like you and your cooking x
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeMhEQ0zQ5
Flattery gets you everywhere doesn’t it I smirk and type my reply.
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2zI5tPXXL
I thought you said you wouldn't call me anymore x
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMeqiriV6W
I tease him and smile down at my phone.
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7ZahWDjer
Well are you being naughty Taylor or good Taylor. It's a factor I'll have to weigh up before I hit the call button x
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9vutEV7UV
I consider that for a brief minute; what does Jay like about me I wonder. Good girl taylor or the girl that sighs down the phone. I decide to test him.
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMDvUDgLWS
Good girl Taylor x
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL863ZgU8YH
I reply looking up at the ceiling and waiting for his response.
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzH6e0kIcbN
That's irresistible please can I call you x
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdG9pJs8Bdb
Before I can stop myself I pace downstairs to the kitchen and place the iron kettle on the stove before messaging him back telling him yes.
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAFkzWxecf
“I thought you liked my bad side” I whisper to him as the call connects and he chuckles.
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ21LUIFtWY
“I like all of it” he whispers and I laugh.
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XZc6bgayM
“Can I tell you something” he smiles down the line.
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7hVXCxyE4
“Go ahead” I whisper.
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2flTtG8ba
There’s a pause before he speaks, he’s forming his words. Working out how to convey his ideas.
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVGJwUkzqt
“You're the best friend I've ever had. You include me in shit and you make incredible food. You are mad talented and you make me feel comfortable. You care about people” he says earnestly and I’m caught off guard, staring out of the dim kitchen window and wondering what has brought this on.
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXU1FooSxH
“Plus...” he says cheekily and I giggle.
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHFjZ7CvGK
“Plus…” I repeat to him waiting for him to get it off his chest, standing and heading to the stove to pour myself some green tea.
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21fa9RBFn5
“Plus you kinda were my first” he laughs.
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yoWYM4ufw
“That’s a lie” I smirk
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeDsuTvLO0
“You were my first ever phone sex, it's a first I can't forget” he chuckles and I laugh.
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItyYDrORxY
“Now I know why you cannot look at me” I sigh and he laughs openly.
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESEnfGafr6
“Oh Taylor, It's all I can do but to look at you,or think about it when I'm alone eating ice cream like a bloody lovesick dog” he laughs and I chortle.
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83IfN7xk96
“What can I say you caught me at the wrong time, I was already busy” I whisper and I can feel the smile stretch across his lips.
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlS2MHTCkid
“Maybe we can just do it together next time?” He whispers and I smile down into my lap.
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxqhyAlp0n
“Jay” I say softly and he shh’s me before laughing.
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIz1KZpMi5m
“You’re biting that lip aren’t you” he sighs.
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKTG14UGHf
“Not at all” I smirk and he sighs.
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwam84P7uw
“Are you eating the ice cream still” I ask and he laughs.
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqhKBson18
“I am good choice by the way” he says softly.
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd75JCObPaf
“Taylor where have you visited in the world” he asks me out of the blue.
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26yS0N538f
“We didn’t really go on holidays, my mum being a single parent was unable to take me to lots of places. Other than around the states and to Canada” I explain.
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOFFcTaFNN
“Canada is nice weirdly I haven’t really visited there much. I would love to take you to Australia” he begins getting carried away with himself.
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWagXYzGJeM
“There’s so many open spaces, there’s the outback and deserts and of course kangaroos” he giggles and I listen to him intently.
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKud0O1Ye7
“Surfing and good food” he smiles down the phone.
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8IRwPbFil
“One day huh” he says and I giggle. Who knew that Gilbert Scott was so into travelling and culture.
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIvG0AWj0c
“I’m going to let you sleep” he laughs almost self consciously.
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eyXioCQrv
“My ego can’t take you falling asleep on the phone again” he laughs.
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2HfnFoH2p
“Good night Jay” I whisper and he sighs happily.
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFK23BgZns3
“Good night Taylor” he whispers back before we end the call.
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEojPSXhwI9
With my phone placed down on the table I check that the stove is off before I take my warm cup of tea up the wooden stairs to bed. Undeniably Jay Gilbert Scott has changed towards me in a way that I could not have imagined. Professing that he wants to take me to foreign lands and essentially whisk me away is a grande statement. I’m not entirely sure that he extends that kind of invitation to other women and it makes me grow curious. Wondering how I have been able to illicit this response from him at all, that is indeed if he is being genuine. Before I fall asleep I finish my tea, it calms my nerves and the bubbling excitement that has taken ahold of me.
