Taylor's POV
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKK5L8G572V
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.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNA8UflZIqO
"University is important, I just worry." He sighs and I place my hands through his hair.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMe0FflNBzd
"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.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOqxhDavdQ
"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
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNY5BtyXOJ
I tap a message back to him smiling and wait for his reply.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqX1DQKHB6
You are more than welcome to my ice cream. Fancy another revision session in a couple weeks. We need to catch Ross up x
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rgO9B7bC7
I send back to him and eagerly await his reply.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQM509IJc9
You're a square. Don't worry I'm eating it right this very moment. Yes curry this time? Do you like curry?x
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcd4vhkQOO
He replies and I smirk looking down at my phone in the dark. Running my hands through Matthew’s hair as I read it.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡud8tcbS1F1
Yes I'll make you one, better than any takeout I promise x
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGN7My6MmPH
I type back and Matthew huddles closer to me.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtucjm2r48Y
Wish I could call you and describe this ice cream to you, it's exquisite just like you and your cooking x
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFLTVsEM6D
Flattery gets you everywhere doesn’t it I smirk and type my reply.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGWLBMqpm6
I thought you said you wouldn't call me anymore x
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLb5SaFdAu
I tease him and smile down at my phone.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQtWnYEAva
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
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEfiiVsYKD
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.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcGnZ3OD0p
Good girl Taylor x
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Na1Ogdg2y
I reply looking up at the ceiling and waiting for his response.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftHRYP03Zx
That's irresistible please can I call you x
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EbsBnKIfa
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.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LmNNj6Hvu
“I thought you liked my bad side” I whisper to him as the call connects and he chuckles.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBOVW62AdX
“I like all of it” he whispers and I laugh.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1q5MJla97I
“Can I tell you something” he smiles down the line.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU09TRF8iFf
“Go ahead” I whisper.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbxTnHLlCc
There’s a pause before he speaks, he’s forming his words. Working out how to convey his ideas.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5nTA8lbeA
“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.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlZyJyIwgs
“Plus...” he says cheekily and I giggle.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NOJzq6yla
“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.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCci1ckrM1
“Plus you kinda were my first” he laughs.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4uOrYKbrh
“That’s a lie” I smirk
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDezEPCgof
“You were my first ever phone sex, it's a first I can't forget” he chuckles and I laugh.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BYEmqYwWt
“Now I know why you cannot look at me” I sigh and he laughs openly.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyF4yHiw1T
“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.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIR3AlcA69
“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.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HcohrWKDk
“Maybe we can just do it together next time?” He whispers and I smile down into my lap.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZS9D8SZbHj
“Jay” I say softly and he shh’s me before laughing.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPTkmyUnXm
“You’re biting that lip aren’t you” he sighs.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86EiuIdKSX
“Not at all” I smirk and he sighs.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2LiQcnbHr
“Are you eating the ice cream still” I ask and he laughs.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbMdNbvndH
“I am good choice by the way” he says softly.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQttFmJDpra
“Taylor where have you visited in the world” he asks me out of the blue.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDXlxaTbUK
“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.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCQHwOUQF6
“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.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6hdHcqQbp
“There’s so many open spaces, there’s the outback and deserts and of course kangaroos” he giggles and I listen to him intently.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypQlPMpQj3
“Surfing and good food” he smiles down the phone.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1h2CPPkDe7
“One day huh” he says and I giggle. Who knew that Gilbert Scott was so into travelling and culture.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseM0okpieJ
“I’m going to let you sleep” he laughs almost self consciously.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LxGPlKVM2
“My ego can’t take you falling asleep on the phone again” he laughs.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Pq9aJV15e
“Good night Jay” I whisper and he sighs happily.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjmi3uCb1J
“Good night Taylor” he whispers back before we end the call.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc60pKKaEkE
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.
