Taylor's POV
April
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepC5uevyis
Jay is not a typical good guy, I need to remind myself of that as we walk hand in hand over to psychology. He isn't scared about punching guys or getting into fights. I look down at his hands, the ones that hold me in the night, the ones that give me intense pleasure and the ones that just smacked Nate around the jaw. Hands clasped around my own, intertwined with my fingers holding me softly as we climb the stairs of the lecture hall. Justin eyes me from across the room, and it strikes me as odd that I’ve never noticed him before, never even looked twice. He glances away and back down at his books when I smile at him.

We resume our usual seats with Ross, the two of them laugh a little about how they’ve both smacked Nate and I scoff trying to ignore their camaraderie. Carter begins his lecture and I sit there unbelieving that Jay would physically harm somebody else, even Nate, for me. He is so intelligent yet at the same time such a brute of a guy. And as I gaze up at him I realise that he is a whole bunch of contradictions in my mind. His beautiful angelic face and gorgeous blonde hair, a guy that loves his mom yet punches guys on the fly. A psychology major that spends more time in the gym than the library. Never has he attended any debates club.

He meets my searching eyes and smiles, that gorgeous smile that says I know you love me. How could you not.

"I can't wait until later" I whisper to him softly in his ear my lips brushing his neck a few times.

"There's a benefit to having a bed on campus that is in your very own dorm" he whispers smiling down at me.

The lecture ends, and honestly I’m utterly unsure what any of the topics were as I spent the entire hour thinking about Jay. Ross ups and leaves, without a second glance in my direction. I’m sure he’s a little bit annoyed and frustrated by not being able to work things out between us. By me not slipping back into his arms, his house and his bed.

"One minute" I say to Jay watching after Ross as he descends the steps quickly.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Bzr1Z1GrL
"Ross?" I say once I reach him; almost out of breath matching his pace.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rsGN2LjlH
"Can we talk later?" I ask softly, knowing that I need to smooth things over with him whilst we are both sober, and whilst neither of us are high.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3v84ZKE8q
"Sure Tay, three ish?" Ross says watching me closely.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6BUvQpMSS
"At the dorm house?" I confirm and he nods.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Oj4EuOeaY
"Okay sure see you there" he says finally smiling at me. I hug him as Jay catches up with us a grin on his face.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7nnH3xe1h
"Taylor you've literally got guys smacking Nate all about the place for you" he says and I roll my eyes.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40DcoWdibE
"Nate is the problem not me, and hey drop it now" I laugh as he grabs my hand and we all walk over to the refectory for lunch together.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFIkiNJzUr
"Thanks Ross for defending me at that party by the way, when I wasn’t there" I say as he gives me a smile. Briefly looking in my direction his eyes flicking down to our joined hands before he looks away.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxPV5z3FMc
"Hey man at least you got a thank you, I got a lecture" he laughs and I swat him as he rolls his eyes. Spotting the others, excluding Nate, seated around the sofas by the pool table we decide to choose our food before heading over to them.

Jay holds onto my hips as we sashay around the counters, I grasp some pasta leaning over to collect the pot as he sighs watching me and I grin.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbqNH3hoP7
“Concentrate” I smirk at him.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAUmzymPIm
“I can’t you’re beautiful and you’re wearing the shortest skirt I’ve ever seen” he giggles stroking my thigh, Ross grows tired of the both of us and heads over to the sofas with his sub.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfwhXp9DVH
"What are you having ?" I ask him looking over the counter of food. He pulls me to face him and sweeps my hair back.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgn92CjoYq6
"I want to have you" he whispers and my cheeks redden. Pulling me in for a kiss, I forget where we are entirely letting him kiss me passionately in the queue as students filter around us grabbing sandwiches.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZm1oDZVGtY
"Later you can have me later" I smile at him eventually as he shows me his puppy dog eyes again before grabbing a sandwich and sighing.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWwdvbarGm
“I’ll be having two helpings of you later just so you know” he giggles as we head over to the others.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1blf8T6Wh
Jay takes a seat on the velvet sofa next to Matthew, and I perch on his knee even though there is a spare single chair. He laughs his hands on my bum as I pass him his sandwich. Pippa and Ryan sit opposite us bemused by the entire encounter, Ross just gazes at his food. Anywhere but at me.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFc2EEzhZ1A
“Taylor nice boots” Ryan comments whilst sipping his coffee and I beam at him.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGda5ze7GC5
“Thank you” I smile as Rachel joins us in a bright white denim jacket and cowgirl boots.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBWnPAZkmg
“Oh they are some nice boots, I like” I say to her determined for things not to be awkward between us since the arguments with Nate have ensued.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnY346PJU4d
“Yes girl, let’s get you some and we can do matching outfits” she smiles as I stand leaning over to hug her.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tOWRhkCAY
“Seriously Taylor” Jay clears his throat when I sit down on him again.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxk7nAphOid
“Learning over in front of me is not helping me concentrate” he smirks and I giggle.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAc6MPqynnF
“Let’s have a cowgirl party” I say to Rachel and she practically claps her hands. Her blonde hair curly today and her makeup perfect.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZ81Al4EGw
“Yes, cowgirl and cowboy party” she exclaims and I wink at her.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ldVFSULSf
“I know just the outfit” I wink at Jay and he shakes his head.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzp4zimfR7
Finishing my pasta and firmly placing the pot down on the table before I lay back onto Jay again and he sighs. His arms encircling my waist and fingertips drawing lines up and down my side.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡae5aR0lZ9D
"So are you guys coming out later" Rach laughs looking at me. As Jay is preoccupied touching me I smile over at her and she pleads with me that we can make the cowgirl dream happen.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwegbck9nO
“I need boots” I laugh protesting.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cy3R2TrvQ
“I’m sure I have a similar pair you can borrow” she smiles leaving me with no excuses.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkYz6W5tkY
"One more night" I say to Jay as he winks at me.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvM1004LwV
“One more night” he smiles as I stand up and he retrieves the tray to put all of our trash in the bin. I watch him walk away briefly before slipping back down into the sofa.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUWLPeHRvu
Ross giggles as Rachel natters on about corsets and outfit ideas for later. His eyes sweep over my legs and I settle into the sofa next to Matthew.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocuq0IOARQ
“You okay?” He whispers to me and I look up into his green eyes, he’s concerned most likely because of the fights this morning.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UCyeQz6Ru
“I’m just fine” I say softly and he nods looking at his coffee a wry smile on his lips.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBY4lvop1x
“What do you say Taylor? Black corset and cowgirl boots finished with a mini skirt” Rachel asks me as I look away from Matthew.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCOYHyWPV8
“Okay but no punch ups” I laugh as Matthew chuckles.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9rOsvT37V
"Okay no punching tonight no matter what Taylor does" Rach laughs and I gasp at her in mock horror.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92Tey1PYFu
“I can’t promise a thing” Ross giggles as Jay returns taking my hand in his own as he guides me up to standing.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccGawhUNus
"What do you have next" I whisper in his ear.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9m2fY5HnIQ
"Politics, I've bunked the last three lectures" he says wrapping his arms around me.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9xmCQ40PJ
"Ah that's a shame" I whisper watching his eyes and the heat behind them.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgq0BTo1sKf
"I can bunk one more" he explains pulling my hips into him.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6Qbblv7LP
“Taylor before you run off! Party later no bunking it and heading away with you know who” she laughs admonishing Jay.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefIy5jWHCT
“I’ll be there” I assure her before Jay and I march out of the refectory arms around one another.
