Jays POV
59Please respect copyright.PENANA8j2tmxsuJO
Taylor is frying up steak in a bikini, I'm perched on one of the bar stools in our kitchen watching her. The others are playing some kind of drinking game, but this woman is pure art in front of me. I can't not watch her. The curve of her back. Her hair pulled up in a messy bun. The slight bump in her tummy that I put there, I sip my whiskey.
59Please respect copyright.PENANA5nW4lx6CKQ
"Jay baby" she says and I stand up put my arms around her waist. My bare chest against her back.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAmPRX5FWJHR
"Hmmm" I say and she giggles. I stroke her waist and she sighs. Nothing exists but her.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAKjIRIYz16I
"Can you get me" she says looking up at me.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAV8ihqG8Pew
"Garlic, Shallots and cream. Oh and the peppercorns" she smiles.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAqOpbKUadyF
"Of course" I say kissing her, she kisses me back.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAuLQpxpMzun
She pulls away slightly and giggles. She has her playlist on and every now and again she sways to the songs.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAPSkwCaeS7o
"Here" I say setting down the ingredients.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAgoVChHLcWO
"Thanks" she smiles.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAcIKpq8c6OH
"Want some help" I ask.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAjdlSoK2u9C
"No relax baby" she smiles kissing me again. I hold her, the small of her back and she deepens the kiss. Holding me back smiling.
59Please respect copyright.PENANA9Vrdo5iWbC
I resume my seat on the stool watching her. Matty comes to sit next to me pouring me another whiskey. We are close, again. Like we were before, before Taylor entered our lives and I won her affection from him. There's been a shift in our friendship where he seemingly accepts that I'm marrying her.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAkL0pN6A18m
"Jay, Rachel may need us to carry her up tonight" he laughs slightly.
59Please respect copyright.PENANALDNTLojh7P
"Fuck no" I laugh watching my wife and not looking anywhere but at her.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAIuSiox22oK
"Nate is here for that" I laugh.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAiOqvOwXsZi
He chuckles and I look at him finally. He's sipping his whiskey like me and watching Taylor. He looks over at me and smirks.
59Please respect copyright.PENANACBNilpYkID
"She looks happier" he smiles.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAkMM56u9Imy
I smile at him, feeling the effects of the whiskey.
59Please respect copyright.PENANA3EvvVCUnv4
"Mhmm, we think we're having a boy" I tell him.
59Please respect copyright.PENANA1u0LuZfvWT
"Nice" he replies and it's perhaps a step too far. A slight tone in his voice shows me that he's wounded, jealous and doesn't want me to rub it in further. He sips his whiskey again, looking down into his glass again. Weve come to blows several times, we've hit out at each other, I mean we've even hospitalised each other from fighting. Now though I'd like to think we can see past fist fights. Besides I already won.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAGAYtR6Bxhd
"Rachel is wrecked" Taylor says turning around smiling looking at both of us watching her.
59Please respect copyright.PENANALZqoM1AIxC
"Didn't even make it to dinner" Matty chuckles looking up at her. Light shining through his eyes.
59Please respect copyright.PENANApCooJJWWEW
"That's criminal" I say.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAF9xGoNvQX7
"Who would miss your steak dinner" I smile at her.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAnpNY4GCejj
"You two hold whiskey well" she comments looking at my eyes and she's praising me. I want to touch her. I hold back, I can't be too possessive.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAskarqmBrWd
"That's a whole bottle" she smiles looking at the empty bottle on the side.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAqXKIavmaM1
"We used to drink a lot of whiskey" Matty says looking at me.
59Please respect copyright.PENANA3v9SrBvL9C
I feel Taylor’s arms go around me and I stare up at her. She kisses me softly and then turns to Matty, arms still around my shoulders.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAdcceQ4s2EB
“I didn’t know that you were a whiskey drinker” she says to him.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAlvgAmMkSf8
“Every party, we would end up finishing a whole bottle of whiskey” Matty laughs
59Please respect copyright.PENANA15188nWBw1
"We would" I smile and she turns around plating up the steaks. I watch her body move and zone out temporarily. Thinking about how we've had sex everywhere in this house at some point or another. Pulling her hips into me and making love to her is my favourite thing to do.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAjRQg384t9k
Rachel stumbles over to us, literally tripping over herself and I notice Ross steadies her. I look up at him briefly, always there for the ladies.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAvzMMuQbPLe
"Taylor that smells wicked" Rachel says.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAqmMeZfocmy
"Thanks almost ready" she smiles glancing at her.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAfhVjeDpO18
Ross pokes his head over her shoulder and checks what she's been cooking up. Possessive me wants to grab him and yank him away. But the almost married man inside of me decides that would be stupid. So I set the table instead. I'm helpful.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAzxiagg5Z4Z
"Can I have like..." he smiles and I'm listening into their conversation.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAUyi5BbjLOj
"Does it need" she smiles as he's tasting the sauce.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAdMSmidOZ8v
"This needs wine" he smiles looking at her, his hand on the small of her back. I can see Matty getting slightly uncomfortable at his closeness to her too. He glances at me, and he's such a peacekeeper I know that if anything escalated he would stop me from punching up Ross. Which is probably for the best.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAHKeVaaSwFm
Ross grabs the wine and pours some in. It doesn't help that he's shirtless and so I'm inadvertently squaring myself up to him. Yeah he's bulked up a whole load in the past year, but I can take him. I'm stronger, taller and my traps are bigger. Yeah, petty. I won't be doing any such thing.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAy6c6fiztRe
He tries the sauce again and she spoons some into his mouth. I do want him to leave her alone, but he won't if he feels encouraged by her.
59Please respect copyright.PENANATAAXosidnT
"Perfect" he says smiling at her.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAc6l3e7lcm6
He lounges back on the counter top and my eyes meet his. He is drunk, I am drunk but I handle myself better. His stare is an open invitation to call him out. I won't embarrass him. He crosses his arms in front of himself, casually.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAJt5W97vxeK
"Here" she says to him indicating for him to take the salad bowl to the table. He obliges, and he's approaching me. Setting the bowl down in the centre of my table. He takes a seat at the end of the table and I look up from him, not rising to the bait.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAEMWud1Q73O
"So there's medium rare times three" Taylor says and my anger dissipates. She places a medium rare steak in front of me, one for Ross and the last one for Matty. I love eating her food, she is top notch at cooking. I eye up my steak and she smiles at me. Dare I say it, but she's a better cook than my own mother. I would never admit that to my mum though, not unless I wanted to start something. Which I don't.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAija9i7swve
Retrieving another plate from the side she places the rest down.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAy25gBJrnId
"Medium for you Nate" she smiles.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAVTMjHDwKQl
"Thank you Taylor" he says genuinely guiding Rachel to her seat. I don't get their relationship, she's self centred and a mess most of the time and he's well boring.
59Please respect copyright.PENANA7ctsVxUNfW
"Well done for us girls" Taylor glances at Rachel.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAnazYJMALLI
"Thanks Tay" Ross says and I ignore him. They look at each other briefly and she smiles before looking away from him.
59Please respect copyright.PENANA6pHKsJncUu
"Thank you Taylor" Matty says grabbing the salad taking some and passing it over to Rachel. He’s seated next to her, but he doesn’t set me off anymore. He takes a bite of his steak and then sits back content. Taylor has a way with steak.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAYFnuJMn1Kv
"How did you time it all" Rachel says slurring just ever so slightly.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAa1ElvnXDix
"I did the three medium rare ones last so that they were the least cooked" Taylor says as if she's talking to a child.
I lock eyes with her as she's opposite me, her eyes watch mine. She knows how drunk I am, I can see it on her face but she loves me all the same. And I'm very lucky. She swoops her hair back, every detail interests me about her.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAXavU4Eu3Hq
Taylor's cooking is wonderful, and we all eat quietly even Rachel. Thankful that Rachel shuts up for just long enough for me to enjoy my food. I finish first, the whole thing, I never leave any of her food. I sit back and have another whiskey. I cross one of my legs over the other knee and pull my hair back. Taylor looks at me hungrily and I smile at her. Usually she would be in my lap. We don’t do physical distance well.
59Please respect copyright.PENANASZt2HObqFF
"Ohh I have a surprise" she smiles looking directly at me.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAchArN66Lv0
"What's that" I ask.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAu5ULvWcKPR
"I kinda baked something" she says.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAE8ihikBKUO
She goes to get up and I stand ushering her to stay seated and eat. I walk over with my whiskey.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAqJcW9ZgUwy
"It's in the top cupboard" she says.
59Please respect copyright.PENANA0tfTSvawJp
I head over and pull out a cake. Setting it down proudly on the table.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAae01Fb1m1K
"It's sticky toffee" she smiles. It’s my favourite.
59Please respect copyright.PENANA3ZNYkkYbfh
I smirk at her and she laughs.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAtip0thl0LC
"Have some" she smiles at me.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAyK3Nn1nyrq
"If you're anything to go by this child is going to be an eater" she laughs.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAI28fMjFNEu
I laugh and grab some bowls for everybody.
59Please respect copyright.PENANA7EX5HF4Wyg
"Have you thought about names" Matty asks.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAZvfzcONTKe
She smiles up at him. He just loves to see her happy, no matter what it is he has her best interests at the top of his priorities. He wouldn't cause problems because it would hurt her. It's how as her ex he can talk to her about our child.
59Please respect copyright.PENANA1u6wYQTexD
"We think we're having a boy" she smiles.
59Please respect copyright.PENANARNtb7mAxEj
"We just had a scan before travelling to check everything and there was a somewhat tell tale sign that baby was a boy" she laughs.
59Please respect copyright.PENANA2PZvi55086
"We had girls names like already. And then Jay came up with the best boy name" she says looking at me.
59Please respect copyright.PENANA2NWq6z1Mop
I look back at her.
59Please respect copyright.PENANANIxKHseini
"Caleb Gilbert Scott" I say.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAa8iVfIpby7
"That's gorgeous" Rachel says.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAx4xtae72U5
Matty smiles at her.
59Please respect copyright.PENANASeHX0I5FV5
"You know that has a ring to it" he smiles.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAFwKKsMqkVU
“Your hormones have settled too” Rachel laughs.
59Please respect copyright.PENANA33FMXhNL6n
“Well” she smiles.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAHZFvEawlMF
“Not exactly” she looks at me with a devilish smile in her eyes.
59Please respect copyright.PENANALt1qVZd3NQ
“What you seem so chill” Rachel laughs and Matty looks away. They were pregnant when they were together, maybe he remembers what it was like to have a beautiful woman not only carrying your future but also demanding physical love from you all the time. It’s pretty intense in the best way.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAOgeUnK0zon
“My hormones are set on having Jay 24/7” she laughs.
59Please respect copyright.PENANA2hK38Rn3zm
“Still I don’t think that’s necessarily just hormones” Rachel laughs.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAoSxERl8jKa
Taylor laughs and I love the sound of her laugh. She finishes her food and lounges back in her chair. Alls I can think is I want her on me.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAidsUuYdh2k
“We need to chill abit” I say softly.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAnNsbVcf7Ns
“You going into prem labour because of me would not be good” I say and she stands up stretching. She walks around the table and sits in my lap.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAg0eB6CrPZm
“Im not going to because of sex” she says and I can’t keep my eyes off of her.
59Please respect copyright.PENANA9h7jFNhDYy
“We had sex on the plane” she says to Rachel and I laugh.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAJr71KJ63hq
“How the hell did you get away with that” Nate laughs.
59Please respect copyright.PENANA139yafeZo8
“Taylor decided to come onto me in our seats” I say rolling my eyes.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAvqQUF4sfam
“So I went to the rest room first” Taylor says
59Please respect copyright.PENANAnQUZGmpviq
“How did you both fit they’re the smallest rooms” Rachel laughs.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAV13CUkRMnG
“Not in first class” I laugh and Rachel rolls her eyes looking at Taylor again. I glance at Ross and he’s very much watching Taylor explain how I had sex with her on a plane, jealous look on his face.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAqdeiV2gP8D
“It was perfect” she smiles at me kissing my lips.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAbX9mnRL9py
“Oh have you ever had car sex” Taylor asks Rachel.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAF4ATisUGcL
“Of course” she laughs.
59Please respect copyright.PENANA4YYJzOH3QL
“Just so cramped isn’t it” Rachel laughs.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAn82Pxw9Zvm
“Try doing it in a corvette” Taylor laughs.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAGsnJZwMaan
Rachel looks at me stunned.
59Please respect copyright.PENANA5tuaYJZZMl
“What!? I was driving here and she was like pull over” I say laughing.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAqgK192QGMX
“It was cramped wasn’t it” I laugh and she cups my face in her hands.
59Please respect copyright.PENANA9zoRXaf3dk
“You made it work” she smiles back at me kissing me wholeheartedly.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAXQMZrMS9UF
“Your honeymoon is going to be pretty intense” Rachel laughs.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAe7IrpkuJpl
“It’s going to be perfect” Taylor says and she kisses me again.
