Taylor's POV
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvlFIaPUWg
"Principal" Jay says smiling at me, I glance up at him over the candlelight and smile back. His face aglow with warm light as he watches me captivated. Upon reaching him in the car I had insisted on telling him the verdict over a glass of wine even though I couldn't contain my excitement. My mood was elevated and my adrenaline high as he drove us to a nearby restaurant and hand in hand we walked in.

Jay stands up from his chair, indicating that he will be one moment. I watch his back in the pale blue shirt he is wearing as he paces over to the bar confidently. Only to return with a bottle of dom perignon. Standing to my side he pops the cork and pours me a glass as I blush.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepgnP48R40
"You are incredible" he says genuinely stroking my hair as he stands next to me before taking his seat again.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdgH0n9dcw
"My partner is the principal dancer at a dance company." He says proudly sitting back in his chair as I look up at him stunned myself by my achievements today.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoDDk2YYK7
"Wow, amazing" he says again elated.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aPmQYJKZk
"So I have to rehearse quite a bit, in the studio. But because we're the principals we get to decide when." I announce to him as I put my glass down.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaXP5uQRDL
"Oh there's two" he asks inquisitively.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvFDwqzQLY
"Yes" I reply realising that I hadn't quite thought through how to delicately mention Jacob my dance partner with the curious matching tattoo to my own.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡot8j4AF7RR
"There is always a female principal and a male principal. I was just auditioning for an intern but the choreographer felt female principal best suited me" I tell him and he grins from ear to ear.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaZhtZrJNI
"Because you're amazing Taylor" he smiles at me.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwgLCBoqNf
Abruptly the female waitress comes over to our table, seated by an open fire with a few pieces of art scattered on the mantelpiece. She ogles Jay and then sets her eyes on me and sighs unimpressed. I suppose usually I look better than I do at this very moment, hair pulled into a bun and fresh faced. But my interview took a priority today over makeup and hair.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1brQ1yvINI
"What can I get you" she asks Jay slowly, watching him eagerly as he glances away from her and over to me.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtoTteYskg
"Ladies first" Jay says and I smile at him.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVp6lfC91Bk
"Please may I have the arrabatia." I ask her once she finally looks back at me, her small features are quite pretty I suppose. Dark hair with blue eyes as she glares in my direction.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vQENbzb8M
"Lasagne for me and can we have some olives and bread for the table please" he comments and she sidles off unimpressed.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7ufs7weYk
"I'm so excited to eat" I laugh pulling my jacket off to reveal my strappy leotard.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVaasVFn8s
"Me too" he smiles over at me. Since moving in together permanently our relationship has been so easy going and calm. We are comfortable with one another, we share everything and the key to our happiness I've found is being open with one another. Jay is full of charm and his smile makes me feel free.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdFhk5uYCW
"So how often are rehearsals" he asks me after a short pause.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FEQwK4bQx
"A couple of times a week, however we get to choose the days." I tell him.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kVK1GHf4x
"Jacob is the male principal and we have to organise the other dancers, and do a touch of staging and choreography" I tell him over enthusiastically.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiB5u7F0gjE
"Maybe we can make eating out a thing, if you're rehearsing more I can come meet you afterwards and we can try out all of the restaurants" he smiles and I hook my leg around his under the table.
He's so utterly different now, everything is about us with him. He focuses solely on our relationship, and I've noticed. He prioritises us and my happiness over everything.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnwcA4c7ix
"I'm so happy for you" he explains clasping my hands in his own.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmCq1SK9lP
"Thankyou Jay" I tell him and he strokes my hands.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUURQf2hNG
Our mains come delivered to our table by the chef himself. Glancing down at the swirling pasta on my plate I can't help but to tuck into my food instantly, the extra workout has made me hungry as he smiles and eats some olives first.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8l2PnB76jq
"So I've got the perfect surprise for this occasion" he smiles at me. I look up from my food feeling like a child whose stuffing her face.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXHz0vZCIu
"We have our two week break this Friday and I've kind of got something booked for us, I can't tell you what yet but you will love it and we can truly celebrate" he says and a wide grin crosses my face.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkFIaiJA8q
"Oh tell me, tell me" I say as he giggles.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVIzvvBjHI
"No" he smiles watching me with a sparkle in his eyes.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOAvpapZO8
"It's special" he adds teasing me.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkaPOKkV2N
"I can't wait to see what it is" I tell him and his eyes glisten. We finish up our mains and he gets that look in his eye that tells me he wants to take me home and hold me all night long.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvss8w4rDcq
"You can bring a bikini and you will get yourself a nice tan" he smiles dropping hints.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUex5hcpWr
"Ohh so we're going someplace" I surmise and he laughs.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0cDLJxpXh
"Yes baby" he says before winking at me. God I love him.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXokukPZWE
"Hmmm" I say and he smirks.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5RQlVrzQU
"I cannot wait to take you home and make you say hmm all night long" he whispers leaning into me before he stands to pay for our food. I watch him saunter over to the counter and smile down into my lap proud to call him mine. Pulling my pain medication out of my purse, I place another co-codamol in my mouth for my wrist as he returns with a grin on his face.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10FBCRPQLM
"Pill popper" he laughs and I smirk.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbc6NBcAlN5
Standing before me in his black jeans I eye him up in his pale blue shirt. His hair is pulled away from his face and I smile up at him before I grab my stuff and down the champagne, classy I know. He pulls an arm around my waist, just letting everybody know that I am his, and that he is mine.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCeYwVlFtF
"They do takeout" he whispers and I beam at him as he grabs a card from the counter on the way out.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfZL5n9D90
"How far do you deliver" he asks the older man behind the counter. He is dressed formally, his salt and pepper hair grown out.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1y10kO8Nt3
"Whereabouts is it you live if you don't mind me asking" the male manager asks us.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY442EllyXw
"Big bear lake, on the lakefront" Jay says glancing at me with a look of adoration on his face. The manager glances at him almost unbelieving, I have never estimated the amount our property is worth. It's utterly surreal for two students to be living in such an extravagant place however with Jay anything is possible.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiUgxsx2zA
"Right" he says taken aback.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7GWgW6n7l
"We can deliver there of course" he smiles enthusiastically.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJPvjBQzDY
"A nice area boss" the man says smiling as Jay pulls out his keys to the Audi and smiles.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFn4tlTLOum
"Thanks for the amazing food" I smile before we leave taking their card and takeaway menu with us.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoaBjsmJ4t
The cool air hits me and I shiver as we walk through the streets back to the Audi, the light has gone and the streets are now illuminated by street lamps. This part of town is more of a hive for nightlife, with all the bars and restaurants.
We make a note of the restaurants we are going to try out as he holds my hand walking us back to the car. He's draped his leather jacket around me and I pull it over me, it's much too big but it's warm and it smells of him.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHeRmBY5fJ
"We have this all set out for us, Taylor" he comments once we're safe and warm in the car. One of his hands on the wheel and the other on my thigh.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPmxC8wXr4
"Meaning?" I tease as he smiles squeezing my thigh.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDtjhSpIng
"We literally have like a year of uni left. We have a place of our own. You are super talented and a professional principal dancer. Okay see where I'm going with this ?" He smiles his hand going up my hips.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pcCEAtstb
"We are all good" he explains laughing, I know before he reaches my waist that he is going to hold onto my tummy. Since we have both discussed the potential of having a baby it's something he has been doing more and more. I stroke his thigh and he places his hand directly over my tummy.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYncBb90ab5
"More than good" I tell him and he turns and winks at me.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMOon15Ok2
"How's the wrist" he asks before turning off of the interstate. I remember the exit and anticipate the smaller winding roads from driving down it with him time and time again to take us home.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNW1soFr7zF
"Not too bad, I'll take some more pain relief before bed" I comment as he focuses on the tighter more narrow roads. The street lighting is less bright down the small roads and he makes sure to pay attention to the road.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ741p4EyPV6
"I ugh want to end him" he says completely rationally and I'm taken aback by the change in topic and the absolute conviction behind his tone.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmgnoyyXUA
"I get that Jay, but then if you do that he won't continue being the hopeless sad loser that he is. He will escape his boring life. And you will ruin our perfect one, that is all set up, by getting yourself put in prison" I tell him rationally as he shakes his head slowly, it's something we've talked through a few times. Jay Gilbert Scott holds a grudge and I'm learning it's better to not get yourself on his bad side otherwise it's possible that he may just end your sorry life.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EKjeAdPcs
"You need to focus on this" I tell him looking down at my hand on his thigh.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6OqN2sEmy
"Us and our moments together, our future and our memories, the memories we are still yet to make" I tell him.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3oK1z1fIB
"I am, you are my everything" he says looking out of the windshield.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQQulkHkKE
"I don't like to see you in pain" he says quietly clenching at the wheel briefly.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIljydqIo5R
"Well it's not actually that bad anymore" I tell him as he sighs.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsLnEtBuVW
"I'm sorry Taylor I know you deserve a guy that's a gentlemen, that doesn't use his hands, that deals with things peacefully." He explains with a wry smile a we near big bear lake.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsGVUhoTko
"You however have me. A guy that wanted to snap his neck." He chuckles and I can't help but to laugh.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRd5rFemHi
"Lord that took a lot of restraint" he sighs.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcWnmJBOil
"I can imagine, Jay but I'm glad you managed to keep yourself in control" I tell him.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJ6mzFnE6v
"You Taylor have a shit load of control over me. You are the only person apart from maybe my mother that can affect my decisions, that can shape what I do. The reason I have to be better and to do the right thing" he says seriously as the lake comes into view in the distance and I breathe out. I ponder that for a minute as he turns into our drive.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckTzf1sgG6
"So long as that control or influence or whatever you want to call it isn't suffocating. Then I don't see it as a bad thing" I tell him finally before he gets out of the car and walks around to my side. Opening the door up for me and swooping me into his arms.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztJlnnJ8GO
“Mhmm” he sighs watching me with a glimmer of humour in his eyes before he lifts me up and I giggle. He holds me in a bear hug as he saunters over to the steps that take us up into the kitchen.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW47lnapEHi
“I love the control you have” he whispers as I smile watching him move through the grande kitchen and up the staircase to our room.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVDuGGYJZy
“It makes me do things like this” he smiles undressing me once he’s set me down in front of our ebony bed. Instinctually he begins kissing my body and I smile watching him.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXVRc1FNlY
"It's a good thing Taylor, that you have complete control over me." He says kissing over my tummy as I sit back on the bed my hands in his hair.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHv4LvnqVFq
"Because without you I dread to think the trouble I would get in" he laughs yet all I think about is his tongue and how it’s tracing circles over my thighs.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTh2UaFnGB
“Yes” I call out once he takes me in his mouth my hands fisting in his hair. Bringing me all the way to the point of orgasm before he thrusts inside of me fully.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3jKRH2OJc
"Just perfect" he whispers in my ear.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cN8BPQqGZ
"You. Your body, your beautiful voice, your pretty little heart that cares for everything, your amazing talents. Just you, and everything about you." He sighs.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmLMEGMTKB
"Jay" I say breathless. I find myself wanting to know every single detail of his life. Every little thread, every decision that brought him here into my life. I make it my goal to know everything about him. To learn him inside out as if I'm going to be tested. As if there is a test I must pass on every single detail of him. The way his hair sweeps over his forehead makes me smile as he comes undone and holds my hips beneath him.
