"Red is your colour" Rachel smiles as Jay and myself head out to the others.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWhpvC2aln
"Thanks" I smile back at her. Ross looks at me and I can tell the new bikini has made quite an impression on him too. I dip into the pool joining them.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJaIsQr90rx
"Rachel how do you fancy sitting in the jacuzzi" I say.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8RxWdPZOo
"That sounds lush" she smiles.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqrBOokBz0
"Let's go" I say excited.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd19p990Cn4
The guys following us, we head through the gardens. There's a few paths but this is my favourite one, it's lined with cherry trees. Twinkling lights guide the way and I stare up past the trees at the stars above us. The sky is a deep midnight blue, the stars glistening down and the soft moonlight shines onto the landscape.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuwQQKnMZf
"This place is so magical" Rachel smiles at me.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZj6cvlQ4Fw
"It's pretty special" I agree with her.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLnTnFivWJ
The blossoms hang low and you can touch them as you walk through. I sweep a trail of pink blossoms out of the way. Eventually once you've walked through the trees there's an opening, it's like walking into a countryside field. The space just opens up and you can see way out into the distance. A stream flows down through the pretty landscape, wildflowers colour the field vibrant reds and yellows.

To the left is the dance studio and I see Jacob eye up the glass window. He is the same as me, he knows it's a place where creativity exists and he wants in. It's the only side to him I truly like.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZ1wI8jLQt
I smile lightly.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfbfAhiCJH
"It's a studio?" he asks still looking.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC14IsyJALP
"It's a studio" I smile at him.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJSqSplhxf
"It's a hot tub" Rachel says disregarding the conversation. We have a rustic style cabin, with an outdoor hot tub. It's large and has twinkling lights. The cabin has three floors including bedrooms with sky lights. All with their own separate balconies looking over the landscape. Jay sets up the hot tub.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLr9QNwsiP
I head over to my studio, let myself in and put on the soft ambient lighting. Jacob of course is one step behind me. We don't talk when we're in a studio, and it saves our friendship. It's truly the reason that we still get along.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcf13rHIDPG
I set up the music as he's eyeing the mirrored wall and balcony from the first floor. The barre alongside the mirror, and of course himself in the mirror. He is still vain after all, He removes his top and I head over to the wardrobe and grab some ballet shoes and a dance skirt. I slip the skirt on over my bikini and then lace up the shoes.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNb2DousUKn
I glance out of the window and see everybody is settled in the hot tub, you can see into the studio through the glass walls and I just know that they're watching. I've pondered for some time, when can you call yourself a professional ? And I've come to decide that you can when you're a principal dancer of a professional company. We’re both pro dancers, although Jacob is more experienced than me.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDub72VO3kc
I warm up and Jacob joins in. It feels great to be dancing, and I hate to say it but to be dancing with somebody is even better. Even if it is Jacob.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIt0Mlfc3g
He takes charge as he always does and he changes the playlist to the dance companies one after we've warmed up. The tracks come on to our choreography pieces. Jacob is diligent when he dances, completely and utterly precise and always graceful.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXNgSmw6zx
The first piece we remember well and we run it a few times. He's extra careful around my waist.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANHM2zx97v
"This is why you should have mentioned it before" he whispers as he lifts me from my centre.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55AJoCFyD9
"So that I know where I can and can't apply pressure" he says and it's as if he owns my body in that moment. It's his instrument. Something tells me that's he's danced with a pregnant partner before and I'm intrigued.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM94g9ThxWh
"I'm sorry" I whisper and he looks at me with real concern and care.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82xirycHx5
"I don't mind you talking when we're actually dancing" I laugh.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyD7jFjzlCc
He chuckles.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf62NfvoDNE
"You're not as obnoxious" I say teasing him.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuSbwBmsiM
"You're a work of art, it tones me down" he laughs.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVo5pJcDcUM
He spins me, a double turn and it ends in an arabesque.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuTJ5NXvzm
"Plus I get to touch you, why would I be talking" he sighs.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0Y8sVg9Fm
I maintain the position even though I feel like turning and slapping him. The dance comes to an end and we stand as the next piece starts up. The one we need to choreograph too. I adjust my bikini, tightening it.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rSV79LuD8
He leads the dance. It's a close partnered piece and I respond instinctively to his leads. We spend the whole entire time in close hold. I forget everything, I can hear his breathing, and for once it doesn’t aggravate me. I can feel his hands on me and I’m hyper aware of all of the other ways he’s touched me. Images running wild through my mind, I can remember his lips on me kissing me. I can hear him counting, softly he’s not even aware he does it. I’m following his counting, and it’s dictating my movements. The music stops and I hear our friends clapping all the way from the hot tub. I let go of Jacob. He's breathless and so am I. He holds onto my hand and turns me around slightly.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zahmGzCXH
"I don't have any feelings for Rachel. At all, I want to kiss you all over your body, my head in between your legs licking and sucking you until you cum again" he whispers and I'm shocked by the intensity of his words, the grip he has on my hand.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPy46K5yj8t
I gasp.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oIhe5slXw
"I want to taste you again Taylor. I don't care that you're going to be married, I'm going to happily be your piece on the side" he smiles.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaBGE2DXmV
I almost slap him. Instead I compose myself. I turn away and stop the music. He grabs his shirt and follows me out of the studio. Ruffling his hair back, eyes trained on Rachel despite what he just told me.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgF3PyuVWm
I am not saying another word to him. I'm angry and embarrassed. Annoyed that he said that about Rachel, and I'm even more annoyed that I want his tongue in between my legs. Stupid boys, why do I let them close to me. They’re just not worth the aggravation.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzokOTfHwN
I dip into the jacuzzi. Sitting down next to Jay. The love of my life. He’s swept his blonde hair back, wearing his engagement ring and his black shorts. I look at his tan chest and he smiles up at me blue eyes enchanted.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1dLmkowid
Ross is next to him so I squeeze in between. Matty is next to Rachel, and they’re chatting nicely to each other. I eye Matty and his tousled brown hair and smile. He’s going to make a girl extremely happy one day. Who wouldn’t double over if he chose them?
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6tCvS7CBI
“Ohh it’s so warm” I say smiling.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrM2kUO82na
“Is it okay?” I say to Jay clutching bump.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76KDWj4flH
“This hot I mean?” I add, sitting on the side with just my feet in.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsuHfRoeFK
“Actually I didn’t think about that ?” He says softly.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVs7AGvjRwE
I google it and decide it’s safer to stay out of the steaming hot water.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVwxmICmDd
"I can see why you're both the principals" Rachel says as Jacob sits in next to her.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡex0cjvv0iD
"Your dancing is superb" she adds.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNXroQNU6r
"Thanks Rach" I smile.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxJM7YeiVo
"Jacob has been principal longer, who was the previous female lead" I dig.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmG1d6fW6l
He watches me.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jKaUJoThx
"Her name was Sophia." He says directly at me, and it's as if he's forgotten everybody else.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWHg4wORsj
"She was my partner for five years. Dance wise and relationship wise" he says and Rachel looks awkward.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpx445Sk0hC
"Sophia, what happened to her" I ask.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTe2pU0le4l
"She moved on" he says and he closes the door on that conversation.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzSqglvKCJ
I watch him. Why does he have to be so damn enigmatic? His smile returns, and he unleashes it on Rachel again. Shes happy for the attention.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RCI2aKB4W
“Shall we sleep in the log cabin tonight” I say to Jay.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUodYqrBtPT
“Mhmmm I’ll make a fire” he says.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5P967eYY1T
“Jay is pretty good at making fires” I say to Rachel.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pnihMmdDb
“Oh I actually know” she says and I’m surprised.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rnEc61QDX
“He…” she begins laughing.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifBfgSA9wY
I look at Jacob and he’s all ears for this story.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbCKDe5iHH
“When we were camping, he used to make the fires” Matty says.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVb04oaHws
“You guys went camping” I smile.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCluPAeJMNF
“Yes when we were all together before college we went camping, and we used to all hang out for a weekend” Rachel finishes.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGSAFiMnpC
“He made this one fire, which was massive and we laughed and teased him that we wouldn’t even be able to put it out” she laughs.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7j3cfTTmD
“I’m good with fire” he laughs and I love seeing him more relaxed with our friends.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLMxsNBBEm
I kiss him lightly and play with his hair. He relaxes back resting his head in my lap.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhBQY02jjM
“When we were away mountain climbing” I begin.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RPU5TDK7E
“At maroon Bells” he adds and I smile.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcELV5EO3y7
“That was when we realised I first might be pregnant” I say.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlZailh1CY
“Jay was such a Neanderthal. Carrying all of the bags and my guitar, looking out for bears. That’s when I first realised how outdoorsy you were” I say to him.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxlnm1f5nm
He chuckles.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAbFVkPbj4
“Not our fishing trip” he laughs.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywMBxLjZlu
“I owned your ass at fishing” I retaliate.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrv5GF574U
“Mmm you can own me whenever you like Taylor” he laughs turning his head and kissing my thigh.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOK9sTehZM
Jacob watches him.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxfeNqTW4b
“Taylor was all like hey I’m catching bigger fish than you, and I was at a disadvantage because she was distracting me with her bikini” Jay laughs.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZC2aVONlW
I laugh with him. Stroking his hair and massaging him. My hormones rage again and I start tearing up.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJ9vhx4TZC
“I love you all by the way” I say.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSydVN5ozc
Jay looks up at me alarmed, then rubs my waist realising it’s just hormones.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kMZT8N09f
“Taylor I’ve gotta tell you you’re not selling pregnancy to me” Rachel laughs.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRndtE2pMrj
“What” I sob
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiCi4s9Nny
“Crying and then rage, extreme horniness” she laughs.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbXyYu18cr
“I know but I do love you all. You all make me so happy” I say.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpd0gffQir
“You make us all happy too Taylor” Ross says and I wipe my eyes.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17tkuYhmgI
“Thanks Ross see that’s the response I wanted” I laugh.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTsp9QisVX
Spending time in a hot tub under the stars with your friends and the love of your life is enough to make anybody extremely happy.
