Taylor’s POV
~past tense~
March

Having spent most of our morning wrapped around each other on the sofa, gazing out at the water, giggling and chatting as his fingers trailed sensual patterns over my skin. We finally dressed again and I watch my step as we walk over the wooden pier up to the boat house. My boots just clinking on the deck as the sun brings out my tan.

Jay helps me onto the boat and follows on after me. When he starts it up, a wry smile spreads across his lips hearing his speed boat lull ready to go. To take us back to reality, I smile watching him. Reflecting on the sheer amount that has changed since we first got in this boat together just days ago. As I wrap my arms around him I feel like holding onto him and never letting him go, surely this is not healthy. This kind of obsession after just days of being together.

Both of us have said some pretty serious things to one another, trying out each other’s surnames as if we are married and making each other all sorts of promises. It is unnerving, part of me is holding onto my normal sense of independence but the majority of me is clinging onto the person I am becoming with him. The person that yearns for his physical contact and his affection.

As the water parts and we find ourselves in the middle of the water, he relaxes and allows the boat to idle along.

"This has been so nice" I say looking up at him.
95Please respect copyright.PENANAjq4C1HQYeV
"Thanks for taking me here" I smile as he kisses my lips.
95Please respect copyright.PENANA146S7YZkGt
"Thank you for coming and being with me" he whispers.
95Please respect copyright.PENANAd7uFmFeqgf
“I have loved having you here with me all weekend Taylor” he says softly and butterflies flutter in my tummy.

We alight the boat at the other side of the lake, I had almost entirely forgotten that he had parked his car this side of the woods. Idly I wonder how many cars he has but decide not to dwell on it. The time is going too fast, Sundays have never been this exciting for me and I don't want to return to normality. He holds my hand through the surrounding forest. We laugh and talk about university and our friend’s reactions to my picture updates on my socials. I haven’t dared checked my phone just in case it’s blown up since.

"I've decided by the way, we should just kiss each other in front of everybody and then see what kind of shit storm that causes" I giggle.

“Matthew will approach me about it no doubt” he says and I just know that Matthew will either avoid me like the plague or shout at me over it. He will feel betrayed by my actions, that much is true.

Ross my brain chucks at me whilst I'm walking back to my life. It's painful, thinking about him, his soft face and how he will look at me. Ross, my safe haven and best friend and the person that cared for me when I was down. Even with him I couldn't stop thinking about Matty. I couldn't operate normally or like myself again. I glance up at Jay and with him I feel like myself again. Healed and new. I haven't thought about anything but him and us since we came out here. I should always have naturally become this person, with him. This progression is inevitable, I tell myself.
95Please respect copyright.PENANANcJewuVuaa
“It will be interesting we will face it all together" he says and then he kisses me again slowly.
After he breaks away I'm left breathless. My skin yearns for him, like it's reaching out for him.
95Please respect copyright.PENANAmxsXqMp0Uy
"Even if I kiss you like that in front of everybody" he smiles.
95Please respect copyright.PENANAY96luGfTQp
"Yes I was planning on it" I giggle.
95Please respect copyright.PENANATPnDVgILce
After a few more paces we're at the car, the woodland just opens up to the clearing and there parked in the centre of the lot is his pristine Audi. Undamaged and not stolen. I surmise that this is an area where people don't need to steal other peoples things.

Jay holds the door for me as I climb in, making sure we are belted up before he sets off driving us back to his apartment. Keeping his hand rested on my thigh as he drives, it seems to take less time on the way back and I smile up at him as he parks in his private garage.
95Please respect copyright.PENANA1jJzV4CSnJ
Pushing his blonde hair out of his face he gets the doors for me, before we walk into the elevator. As soon as the bell dings for his floor I eye up his penthouse apartment and smirk. Next thing I know we're on his sofa. He stuffed the bags on the floor by the elevator pulled his shirt off and physically carried me to the sofa kissing my lips laughing.
95Please respect copyright.PENANApaQkY2M6zy
"Oh shit I haven't got anything to wear tomorrow" I laugh looking at him as I straddle him in his lap.
95Please respect copyright.PENANAhxhmDnYGZP
"Order for same day delivery" he says stroking my back as I stare into his eyes.
95Please respect copyright.PENANAzZ8AqBt8tv
"You are crazy with money Gilbert Scott” I laugh using his surname.
95Please respect copyright.PENANA5wXDlpqXTZ
"Hey I told you my name out of pure trust and confidence" he laughs.
95Please respect copyright.PENANAKy6qUl24sn
"It's cute" I laugh back kissing his lips again.
95Please respect copyright.PENANAqId7zqe5hr
"You’re cuter and I mean it, order some stuff that you can just keep here" he says smiling.
95Please respect copyright.PENANA1LnXIEPLt2
“Here” he says lifting me up impressively whilst grasping the iPad.
95Please respect copyright.PENANA87eU20TtVy
“Show off” I smile as he sets me back down in his lap with the iPad in my hands.
95Please respect copyright.PENANA0BQ6fr34nz
“Shop” he smirks whilst he switches on the tv keeping me close in his lap. Flicking through the clothes online I find a pair of Levi’s, a few skirts and camisoles. Realising that I’ve got my Barbour jacket and boots already here, I browse the lingerie and he smiles down at me. He adds a few of his own suggestions in and I put them in the basket too.
95Please respect copyright.PENANA3G7OBckcNO
"Only one hundred and eighty dollars" he smiles.
95Please respect copyright.PENANAt4q0Oq0UaC
"I thought you'd spend more, add a toothbrush and whatever makeup and stuff you like. Ohh and a hairdryer I don't have one of those" he adds and I giggle.
95Please respect copyright.PENANAlzG59Bhs6N
"Jay, are you sure? I don't want you to think I'm taking advantage" I say softly, looking down at him.
95Please respect copyright.PENANA1Jj2hDoMYQ
"You take advantage of me!?" He scoffs, looking at me adoringly.
95Please respect copyright.PENANAsPNgkDPg4V
"No it's all good, I was just assuming that you would be here more often now" he smiles and I stroke his chest.
95Please respect copyright.PENANAcRdJMizda8
"Me too" I say and he rubs my hips smiling. The flatscreen is on and I can hear the faint sounds of an action movie as I rest the iPad on his chest and browse. His fingertips trace lines up my sides and once I've added everything the delivery says it will arrive in two hours or by five pm whichever’s earliest. I sigh thats beyond my expectations, I don't shop online and it baffles me how much you can get at such short notice.
95Please respect copyright.PENANAbgR5vdqJWM
"I’ve set up my card" he smiles down at me as I gaze out at the setting sun. The views are truly astonishing, being so high up means you can see right out into the distance. Past the buildings and into the hills.
95Please respect copyright.PENANAQa00mMU8Hs
"Now what do you want for dinner" I ask him putting the iPad aside once the order is processing. Jay bites his lip smiling. It dawns on me that I've never actually seen him this happy.
95Please respect copyright.PENANAr29JtUNSHX
"You're actually smiling loads" I observe stroking his face with my hands.
95Please respect copyright.PENANAzwVDa1XnfS
"I have waited for an age to have you here with me like this. Sitting in my lap and being able to touch you and kiss you and it feeling right. I like having you to myself" he smiles and I beam at him.
95Please respect copyright.PENANANQpqKFkFYe
“I would like to cook for you, you've literally done so much for me this weekend and I would like to attempt to repay you with my cooking and other skills" I say suggestively.
95Please respect copyright.PENANAjAVgfMbANz
“Taylor you give me everything by being here and existing in my life. However if you would like to cook me some of your delicious food and kiss me all night long then I'm definitely not objecting" he smiles looking into my eyes. Where did this wonderful charming man come from I wonder standing up and taking his hand as I guide him into his kitchen.
95Please respect copyright.PENANAWePQL7Zq0a
“Jay Gilbert Scott you are actually a really loving nice person why did you hide that before. It's like I'm discovering you for the first time." I say brushing his arms before sorting through the cupboards. He hangs in the doorway smiling watching me at home in his place, filling the height of the door frame, the blonde Viking that he is.
95Please respect copyright.PENANADj95ZDI4uH
“Lamb curry ?" I say turning to see his irresistible grin. He sweeps me up in his arms giggling as he brushes my hair back.
95Please respect copyright.PENANAXJ2y0ZwWhb
“Yes please” he whispers between kissing my lips before we set on making food together, in the skyline kitchen where the twinkling lights always sparkle alongside the starry night sky.
