Taylor's POV
April
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHbpkP0LmW
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.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouYOBoZhRk
"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.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioLCo4joOe
"Ross?" I say once I reach him; almost out of breath matching his pace.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCAr1O1mdP
"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.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOqjPfOkKh
"Sure Tay, three ish?" Ross says watching me closely.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBbqhKj0XY
"At the dorm house?" I confirm and he nods.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpUH9qwQ2B
"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.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtdGMv6KZR
"Taylor you've literally got guys smacking Nate all about the place for you" he says and I roll my eyes.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PyzYkrgt3
"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.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAuEihPutA
"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.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJaW8J61mf
"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.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgp1TzcJstF
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.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7G2F6loZFz
“Concentrate” I smirk at him.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiv32DfYP4L
“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.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiAPUDeig3
"What are you having ?" I ask him looking over the counter of food. He pulls me to face him and sweeps my hair back.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4Mr5xOxSF
"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.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNXg7OFMXq
"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.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNd7F4rcQut
“I’ll be having two helpings of you later just so you know” he giggles as we head over to the others.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8Xf8YoIYO
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.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJQV3KsMZS
“Taylor nice boots” Ryan comments whilst sipping his coffee and I beam at him.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoXvejPFTf
“Thank you” I smile as Rachel joins us in a bright white denim jacket and cowgirl boots.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdSaaYlmgV
“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.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34gDIGjL9O
“Yes girl, let’s get you some and we can do matching outfits” she smiles as I stand leaning over to hug her.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsc9bZrOtFO
“Seriously Taylor” Jay clears his throat when I sit down on him again.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lpabWfLuF
“Learning over in front of me is not helping me concentrate” he smirks and I giggle.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0voYwQvKae
“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.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkf6EfHhzD
“Yes, cowgirl and cowboy party” she exclaims and I wink at her.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PTMD0CIMB
“I know just the outfit” I wink at Jay and he shakes his head.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRvrfSp61R
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.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRA3Tl1qpQ
"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.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbetiiXnAy5
“I need boots” I laugh protesting.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6EnwnOIaY
“I’m sure I have a similar pair you can borrow” she smiles leaving me with no excuses.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIKbU6OyuH
"One more night" I say to Jay as he winks at me.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETzOFTkUxF
“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.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9khcYqHRCT
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.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvE6Cc7NMZm
“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.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOfOxZ63aA
“I’m just fine” I say softly and he nods looking at his coffee a wry smile on his lips.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡew6zfRdyjz
“What do you say Taylor? Black corset and cowgirl boots finished with a mini skirt” Rachel asks me as I look away from Matthew.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1k078BhA1u
“Okay but no punch ups” I laugh as Matthew chuckles.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzW3vRkzmH
"Okay no punching tonight no matter what Taylor does" Rach laughs and I gasp at her in mock horror.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUhYD0viw1
“I can’t promise a thing” Ross giggles as Jay returns taking my hand in his own as he guides me up to standing.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKpQrti8qE
"What do you have next" I whisper in his ear.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhMkdMzx9o
"Politics, I've bunked the last three lectures" he says wrapping his arms around me.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPayaaH4Coj
"Ah that's a shame" I whisper watching his eyes and the heat behind them.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ehbTFgdMg
"I can bunk one more" he explains pulling my hips into him.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskVGusGsGF
“Taylor before you run off! Party later no bunking it and heading away with you know who” she laughs admonishing Jay.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85Xcava4yi
“I’ll be there” I assure her before Jay and I march out of the refectory arms around one another.
