Taylor's POV
102Please respect copyright.PENANARSHXXoXglm
Let's not pretend that I'm not angry, I tell myself as I glance at my phone for the sixteenth time in an hour. Only to be met with no new messages, no missed calls as I fry up the onions in the wok. Looks like I'll be staying in dorms for longer, I think to myself getting utterly carried away and making up scenarios in my mind of what Jay might be doing. They range from outright cheating on me with the blonde girl to moving on and not even saying goodbye to me. I briefly imagine him turning up right now and wrapping his arms around me as I cook and try to wish it into existence. Considering myself crazy I turn the music on determined not to check my phone, I uncork a bottle of wine and pour myself a glass seen as I have no more lectures and decide upon getting wine drunk instead of thinking about my forever life that may be disintegrating before my very eyes.

"Oh Taylor we're having wine at midday are we" Rachel giggles pouring herself a glass as she eyes me. Rachel saunters over to Nate and I turn around not wanting to see them hugging and God knows what else.
102Please respect copyright.PENANAQCGJUO9425
"We are indeed" I laugh slightly before returning to the wok with my full glass of wine.
102Please respect copyright.PENANAqZ2mmVSRpd
"Are you making fajitas again Taylor" Nate says calling over to me as I flinch slightly before I slap the chicken breasts on a chopping board and a large knife. Downing some wine before I set to work.
102Please respect copyright.PENANA2fEGutBfss
"I'll dice the chicken" Matty says and I jump marginally as he giggles.
102Please respect copyright.PENANAriDitWEKlS
"Taylor you all good Jesus" he laughs and I notice he's removed his shirt again.
102Please respect copyright.PENANApaYDaW6xjb
"Matthew" I say slowly the wine hitting me instantly I drape my arms over his shoulders and he watches me quizzically.
102Please respect copyright.PENANALRXxqyQRVy
"Thank you" I smile nicely at him before chopping up the rest of the vegetables. He giggles slightly setting to work on the chicken as I stare at him unashamedly.
102Please respect copyright.PENANAVm59uo6dqZ
"Did you go out this weekend" I ask suggestively.
102Please respect copyright.PENANApUa8yt1oSV
"I was here" he smiles looking up at me flirtatiously before replacing the chicken in the pan. I turn the music up some more as Rachel whoops in the background and Ross lights up a funny cigarette.
102Please respect copyright.PENANAmjBPPCI85S
Matthew leans on the counter as I place everything in the pan sipping my wine and singing along to the song that's on. Jay, I consider is doing what he likes and so in my slightly tipsy state I will also be doing what I like. That includes dancing around my kitchen before I burst into tears at the thought of him potentially leaving me.
102Please respect copyright.PENANA8i3i74Y0nk
"Can I ask why you weren't at the party" Matthew smiles watching me.
102Please respect copyright.PENANAUxD8PgDYkf
"Did you miss me?" I ask sweetly rubbing his chest just once as he inhales sharply and I giggle.
102Please respect copyright.PENANA983xdVNBfY
"Taylor" Rachel smiles as I turn to face her, seated on Nate's knee intrigued by my behaviour.
102Please respect copyright.PENANAMKhbNxAWBo
"Yes Rach" I smile back.
102Please respect copyright.PENANAqIZmJnJC8n
"Wanna play a game" she laughs watching me hold onto Matthew before I remove my hands from his bare chest.
102Please respect copyright.PENANAqZ48xAZFCt
"Always" I say cheekily.
102Please respect copyright.PENANA31iGQVn8Ig
"Say no more" she winks at me before going off to find a bottle presumably to spin.
102Please respect copyright.PENANAtX8R1znyO9
"Never forget that I always miss you" Matthew whispers in my ear when I've turned to face the pan again, his hands run up my back and I smirk.
102Please respect copyright.PENANA1oEDWAtTh0
"I miss your lips, your hips, your laugh" he begins softly, his lips to my ear. The scent of his cologne and his closeness invades all of my senses as I sip my wine again finishing the glass.
102Please respect copyright.PENANAAUvis9Oj4r
"Mmmm" I say softly stirring the pot again.
102Please respect copyright.PENANA9YSxFooMDs
"I especially missed making you say mmm" he whispers, his hand grasping onto my hip bone. I scoop up some of the chicken and blow onto it before spoon feeding him it. He plays along, Matthew is utterly enthralled by my attention.
102Please respect copyright.PENANAJVAyf4IhWw
"Mmmm it's very good" he smiles wrapping his arms around me as I block out the rest of the room.
102Please respect copyright.PENANA4xpC99X9mf
"It needs more" I whisper to him tasting the chicken myself before I add some salt and pepper.
102Please respect copyright.PENANAH6ydEnBOFK
"Lord, I miss this" he says in my ear and I giggle swaying my hips lightly to the music as his hands graze my waist. In that very moment, I remember how his hips moved alongside my own every night as he sways with me and I close my eyes.
102Please respect copyright.PENANAlCwFeuVE3C
"We didn't even say goodbye" he whispers sensually in my ear.
102Please respect copyright.PENANADjahDFQRAp
"We didn't you're right" I reply with my eyes still closed.
102Please respect copyright.PENANAjsxGNJotNT
"We still don't have to" he says quietly like it's a secret as his lips brush against my neck.
102Please respect copyright.PENANAAdNUV12jP9
"Taylor bottles on you" Rachel laughs as I open my eyes and turn around facing her as she spins the bottle again. Matthew's hands haven't left my side.
102Please respect copyright.PENANAfXCgJzmdbL
"Oh" she smirks as the bottle lands on Matthew and I snicker topping up my glass before setting my lips on his. He deepens the kiss, setting me alight with his passion and desire. I pull back breathless checking on the chicken and laughing.
102Please respect copyright.PENANA0cwjBBpmZa
"It's done baby let's wrap them all up" I tell him and he laughs placing his hands on me again.
102Please respect copyright.PENANAcunvYfXJyy
"Oh you're all here" an unfamiliar voice rings out in the kitchen and I hadn't even realised the door had opened, I've been preoccupied by Matthew’s onslaught of affection. I glance up hazily looking past his shoulder as he wraps himself around me. A tall girl with mousy hair glares at me, approaching us quickly as Matthew continues to hold onto me. I glance at Rachel and she sighs spinning the bottle again. Aria? Aliyah? She mouths at me the girls name and I just laugh in my drunken state.
102Please respect copyright.PENANA4zd8yMEyhe
"Mmm have you been a bit naughty Matthew " I ask him smiling as I wrap up a few tortillas and place them on plates.
102Please respect copyright.PENANAhrsuYMFVTL
"Mmm" he laughs almost incoherently.
102Please respect copyright.PENANARCrNgjZJ2d
"Matty you have my number don't you" she gushes when she reaches us as he pushes his brunette locks back, eyes baring down at me instead of focusing on her.
102Please respect copyright.PENANAWIiI518KDo
"Hey" I say nicely as she eyes me with daggers.
102Please respect copyright.PENANACG8sfmdul2
"Hi? Who the fuck are you ?" She practically shouts. Aria does not place nice with other girls, I'm learning that I'm stepping on her toes being all over Matthew, which is a joke because Matthew is never not mine.
102Please respect copyright.PENANA8qDc9llKn5
"Wow okay" I say biting my lip. Girls are vicious.
102Please respect copyright.PENANAnMi5BYkUDF
"No seriously who is this?" She adds eyeing Matty and how his face is burrowed in my neck. Ross appears next to me sensing trouble.
102Please respect copyright.PENANAyGmf5hNMEY
"Oh so it's like that, fuck me and then just move on" she sighs and I gasp slightly putting some distance between Matthew and myself. It was a nice little trip down memory lane whilst it lasted.
102Please respect copyright.PENANALSHZGZGCqz
"Taylor" he mutters as I down my wine. It’s not my business who he takes to bed, but I’d like to think his standards were higher than this girl.
102Please respect copyright.PENANALK67172avS
"Wanna go smoke?" Ross asks in my ear, as I look up at Matthew feeling such intense jealousy over him.
102Please respect copyright.PENANAerrcXBPYkf
"Look I'm sorry we got off on the wrong foot" I say finally offering Aria or whatever her name is, an olive branch. She is not right for him I surmise with just one glance in her direction.
102Please respect copyright.PENANABV0fj4trlN
"So you just fuck her now huh!?" She retorts glaring at Matthew.
102Please respect copyright.PENANAyxmDdoqAaQ
"I'm actually not fucking anybody here. So please rest assured we are all good" I say just a touch patronising. Ross' hand on my back, offering me support. I lean into him.
102Please respect copyright.PENANARvsmrT6y4e
"Who is she Matty?" She enquires angrily, just a few tears streaming down her cheeks. Running black mascara down her face.
102Please respect copyright.PENANAwYyYdJcx7c
"This is Taylor, Aria. She is the love of my life. She has been with me a lot longer than you've even known me. So please have some respect and fuck off" he utters as the room goes silent and my jaw drops.
102Please respect copyright.PENANAqJafweCfap
Love of my life. I pull the phrase apart in my mind and realise that me leading him on just now was awful and selfish. More wine does the trick as I pour myself another and down some before glancing at Aria and her gobsmacked expression. Nate chuckles over the other side of the room and I'm sure Rachel utters a few swear words in amusement.
102Please respect copyright.PENANAaKr97JojUG
Quickly Aria raises one manicured hand and sweeps it over his face, slapping him before storming out of the kitchen. The door crashes closed behind her as I turn to face him instantly and he looks at me with eyes that implore me to love him again. I check his face instantly, I don't even think about it. Who would hit a face that angelic and beautiful?
102Please respect copyright.PENANA8nrqR2fBRB
"Are you okay?" I say with his face in my hands as he watches me seriously, the kitchen utterly silent since the whole scene.
102Please respect copyright.PENANA6B1LDEJLaX
"You idiot, you shouldn't have said that." I say confused whilst checking his cheek bones. He gazes into my eyes as Ross clears his throat behind me. Matthew's hands touch mine and I know what he wants from me. I know him through and through from the care just behind his eyes. I stroke his face lightly with my fingertips and he closes his eyes taking in my touch.
102Please respect copyright.PENANAwEBmDJjMtM
"She is pretty keen Matthew" I say removing my hands awkwardly as he clears his throat.
102Please respect copyright.PENANA8nOUeKHKL3
"It literally was just one time" he explains softly pushing his hair back.
102Please respect copyright.PENANA8LUKJPUFal
“Mhmm” I say softly grasping the plates and carrying them over to the table.
102Please respect copyright.PENANARSlnuAS68d
“Thanks Tay babe” Rachel says eyeing me as I set the food down. She gives me a look that tells me she needs to know what’s going on, from my behaviour with Matthew I don’t blame her at all. I would be just as intrigued if I was her. I mouth the word later to her before we all take a seat and finally eat.
