"You are in fact looking at the principle dancer at the Martha Graham dance company" Jay says to everybody at lunch time the next day. I blush and shy away from the eyes watching me.

"Wow Taylor" Matty says standing up.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3h8rOGZJg
"That's truly incredible" Rhea says.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5v5YhOxTc
"Yeah first interview and first paid job" I comment smiling.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOFDBDQIke
"Well done Taylor you're an incredible dancer" Rach smiles.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeipTPD2188
Ross smiles stands up and hugs me.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjaxsXtheA
"Well done, amazing news" Ross says holding my forearms.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwDArBcvlY
"Thanks Ross" I smile.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53JPUStEG2
Myself and Jay take a seat together with our lunch on the end of the sofa squished in, me on top of him.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGCBsY3ivw
I spoon some pasta into his mouth and he laughs. I hook my arm around his shoulders. I actually think I need to show everybody, just how much we are in love with one another. So no holding back.
I kiss his lips and he chuckles lightly.

Rhea smiles at me.
"Talking of fantastic news Malachi is coming here next year" she says
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIVfBv5BHf
"Yes" I say standing up and hugging her instantly.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJtIHMg5nX
"I love that for you both, well done Malachi. Studying ?" I ask
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjkh5Ihyzk
"Creative events management" she says
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyU2PJ6WQwb
"Ohh perfect" I smile. Pulling my dance skirt down and resuming my place on Jays knee.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Pd4wmaF2N
"My cousin is a second year events management student" Jay says
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4n13C8C51
Noticeably everybody looks taken aback.
"Ella?" I ask and Rach's head snaps to mine, he nods to me.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkxMfT6Jzp
"I didn't even know you had a cousin" she says
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCOQKzULrv
"Yeah so if Malachi wants someone to chat about it, she's actually nice not like me at all" Jay laughs. I stroke his arm, smiling at him. He's wearing a polo shirt today, it's fitted and I'm a fan.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFqZPNHd6W
"Thanks I will tell him, I'm sure that would be great though" she genuinely smiles at him.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qBHmb1G70
"Might mean less parties for me by the way" I tell Rachel
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEokHdD4zv
"I have rehearsals four times a week in town" I add.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzi2di0Qrw
"In town? The clubs there are banging. We'll come to you" she remarks.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ03m4rkZyq
I laugh and look at Jay.
"They have tons of restaurants, we've tried one already" he comments and I stare into his eyes.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qtnjC6sXA
"It was great the food was perfect" I tell him
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBLoo1UabJ
"You're perfect" he smiles and I kiss him.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMVHBvU9hj
"Ugh you two, go be in fucking love with each other elsewhere" Rach snarks and I wink at him.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJrV8Uuh7K
"Wanna go elsewhere?" I laugh and he scoffs at me.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhZjEQQoc5
"Where's Nate?" I tease her.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRin6S3lMH
"He's got rugby" she sighs.
"With Josh" she adds.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJ3L14QilL
That reminds me of a few things on my mental to do list, first is to thank Joshua Morelli, who would ever have thought I'd be doing that? And second, the harder thing, is to speak to Matty. He deserved better than me and I need to clear the air. He deserves to know the truth so that he can move on.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnQhq69tkp
Jay notices me staring into space and he checks out my wrist. He gets out my pills and I pop two.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIci2DKfQA
"Oh shit Taylor, yeah what happened at the hospital?" Rach asks.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUTofH9imf
"It's just a fracture" I say
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreuTXifxuH
"I heard that Tom had a broken nose" Rhea laughs.
"Finally somebody hit him" she snarks smiling at Jay. Since when did she condone violence?
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdwDmZOnO1
"You will not be pursuing him again" I laugh and he kisses me again pulling my arms around him tightly.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjeUfXHc8q
"I think it's funnier that I managed to land a dance job with my arm in a bandage" I smile once I come up for air from Jays lips. Everybody laughs. There, tension dissipated.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBRUm3bC8d
Jay strokes my waist and I smile.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDMXcdu9aX
"Okay so before we break up though we do need to celebrate" Rach says smiling.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLN5ObyB77
"Yeah? How about Friday?" I smirk
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomg95hJQGO
"No no I have plans that involve you this Friday" Jay says smiling.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMA04AsGqq
"Oh yeah" I remember smiling back at him.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRspuvwI9C1
"Thursday night? I'm not in uni Friday anyways" I say
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqIWj8gsUf
"Yes I'll bunk my Friday lecture" Rach says.
"Awesome, Ross? Matty" she asks and I peer down at Jays lips and can't resist but to kiss them.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZx6j8TQSsc
"Course" Ross says
"Sure" Matty says and stands to walk out.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9Tv7tewJ9
"Let me just" I say to Jay and instantly recognition dawns on his face, remembering what I was telling him about apologising to Matty. He lets me go. I leave my stuff with Jay as I'm walking with them to psychology afterwards.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeI8IiX3hQ
I follow Matty out and he looks back at me shocked.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaozbd76R8
"Can we find some time to just talk ?" I say once he lights up outside.
He eyes me.
"If you don't want too that's fine but.." I begin.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43C3Z5UJOA
"Taylor congratulations firstly that's huge. I'm so excited for you. I always knew you would get a break in a dance company" Matty smiles at me.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvB14SgWNU
"I'm free whenever, you could just drop by and we can talk" he says.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06RZJhPacM
Ohhh either a good idea, or a very very bad one.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpiZYA21aN
"Come on?" He says with a sly smile.
"I'm not going to try shit" he adds.
"Believe me I'm more than aware of your relationship with Jay, you've both made yourselves super clear. We can just get takeout and talk it's all good" he says laughing.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLFS7qiJqn
"Okay sure" I say smiling
"Tonight?" I add, how mature.
Perhaps he already has plans?
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKFK5VmV1L
"Done" he says smiling
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObwYluSc3x
"Great." I smile and turn to walk back in. Resolve hits me and I smile, I can tell him and I can fix this.
