Taylor's POV
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFos5E2AmIa
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQ4UbR1MZm
"University is important, I just worry." He sighs and I place my hands through his hair.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LNVLbiMwC
"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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzukQ7Mm3Z
"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.

You left your ice cream here. Jay x
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSx4Ka08UpZ
I tap a message back to him smiling and wait for his reply.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5JOqff2nN
You are more than welcome to my ice cream. Fancy another revision session in a couple weeks. We need to catch Ross up x
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnMVOj6pkz
I send back to him and eagerly await his reply.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CN7uegFON
You're a square. Don't worry I'm eating it right this very moment. Yes curry this time? Do you like curry?x
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9E2EQhCxZE
He replies and I smirk looking down at my phone in the dark. Running my hands through Matthew’s hair as I read it.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYB8BzyTtAb
Yes I'll make you one, better than any takeout I promise x
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxPW3UfTkK
I type back and Matthew huddles closer to me.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40nOEyiaGY
Wish I could call you and describe this ice cream to you, it's exquisite just like you and your cooking x
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATjZQlQP8f
Flattery gets you everywhere doesn’t it I smirk and type my reply.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouAQoZc2Wk
I thought you said you wouldn't call me anymore x
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfTDFzooUj
I tease him and smile down at my phone.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDl7fXppCZx
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
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7zUbuIGrH
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKiwmky8PP
Good girl Taylor x
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4iAMfZaST
I reply looking up at the ceiling and waiting for his response.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYhu6g5vBt
That's irresistible please can I call you x
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADXuFdDykK
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMjCXPZ53W
“I thought you liked my bad side” I whisper to him as the call connects and he chuckles.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitnTfZGxB5
“I like all of it” he whispers and I laugh.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxTDmTB96U
“Can I tell you something” he smiles down the line.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvIqF0CJDr
“Go ahead” I whisper.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagTOYYVaWJ
There’s a pause before he speaks, he’s forming his words. Working out how to convey his ideas.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgqPhHUsDc
“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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3m5SRbhRD
“Plus...” he says cheekily and I giggle.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvZ4oHdW9B
“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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBkoO8x8XK
“Plus you kinda were my first” he laughs.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5xYxQu4Cr
“That’s a lie” I smirk
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpC49GvUSM
“You were my first ever phone sex, it's a first I can't forget” he chuckles and I laugh.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxMFGdBNSL
“Now I know why you cannot look at me” I sigh and he laughs openly.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7aOlFLy2h
“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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3NyVwdzgo
“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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxJtD6F2zX
“Maybe we can just do it together next time?” He whispers and I smile down into my lap.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7IDI3MQRR
“Jay” I say softly and he shh’s me before laughing.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5a4mQe8oh
“You’re biting that lip aren’t you” he sighs.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0fUJ2arh9
“Not at all” I smirk and he sighs.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DBPCya3EN
“Are you eating the ice cream still” I ask and he laughs.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLkjCI2Ybq
“I am good choice by the way” he says softly.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBKJEV1B1S
“Taylor where have you visited in the world” he asks me out of the blue.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwLwrG5PJP
“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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjQ9RJuacc
“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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVccJQWA2p9
“There’s so many open spaces, there’s the outback and deserts and of course kangaroos” he giggles and I listen to him intently.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdMaNyrAVS
“Surfing and good food” he smiles down the phone.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVMDoJrrrl
“One day huh” he says and I giggle. Who knew that Gilbert Scott was so into travelling and culture.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjJmrdy1wz
“I’m going to let you sleep” he laughs almost self consciously.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1l5kaAWGak
“My ego can’t take you falling asleep on the phone again” he laughs.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFt2xRvhdk
“Good night Jay” I whisper and he sighs happily.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTaU7QhgZX
“Good night Taylor” he whispers back before we end the call.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tJXKTPAIL
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.
