I bought the dress in hot pink, I'm planning on wearing it tonight. I'm driving, Ross is lounging back in the passenger seat. He bought a book and he's reading it and I can't help but to glance at him from time to time.

I park up at the house, noticing that Jays ranger is here. I feel a massive pang of guilt deep in my gut. I turn the car off and hop out. Grabbing the bags from the boot and heading up to the door. The sun has set and the heat has eased off.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQEIvC0Gv2
I walk into the kitchen to Matty and Jay, shirtless cooking lasagne. I can't help myself but to chuckle. They might as well be sharing a bottle of red.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVOxpaXmhs
"My wife" Jay says still looking at the pan of meat he's frying up. They have been drinking whiskey not wine.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvp56XHfR4
Matty eyes me, smiling. He's chopping up basil. I'm impressed.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbLZOYpDV2
"Jay" I say wrapping my arms around him from behind. The conundrum is whether I tell him about Ross, it's the morally right thing to do. It's important that he knows but I don't want him to hit Ross. And moreover it will not be happening again. We will be married and that will be that.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmf6W8YpOCo
He turns to face me putting his wooden spoon down. Kissing me and running his hands through my hair.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7PMexDezn
"Mmm" he says.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOUiXQeCiw
"Mmm indeed" I reply softly.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4mBVwexpJ
"Ugh I want a glass of wine" I whine and he smiles.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1DbS1EpZI
"This is the first time I've like missed wine" I say.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bNeyD5RNH
"Ahhh baby" he says softly kissing my forehead. He moves his hands over my waist, holding onto Caleb and smiling.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLn2F8hiREQ
"I love you, that smells amazing" I smile.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvVO4JydlT
"I love you" he chuckles.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqE2SsqE3L
"How was your car" he smiles.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDM65qud7b
"It was amazing" I smile up at him and he squeezes my bum inconspicuously.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB12Fe1iEIQ
"We bought loads" Rachel comes in sunglasses on her head. Her tan looks darker and I can't help it but I cringe slightly. Lord it's still developing, how deep will it get in the next couple hours.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RYtbnpPpg
"Jesus Christ" Jay says looking at her.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRYRBXlMrv
"Rachel you're very ugh dark" Matty says and she swats him.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLofoGiQO8
"What colour did you go for" I ask, I will not laugh. I love her.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDynsH9G2y
"I went for dark" she says.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUz4y0KaHk
"The lady went on about some crap about being pale but I wanna see it" she says.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08ufDUBTzZ
"I only go for medium silly" I say.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGg6VVYdOZ
"Why didn't you tell me" she laughs.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfc9DP9xet9
"You know it's gonna get darker" I say. She freaks looking in the hall mirror.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9hulU4TZW
"Oompa Loompa" she laughs.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gtokXkulC
"Fuck" she says.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9FjwGSO63
I pull my phone out.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlf15f48RVL
"Look best bet, put on some oil and then have a long bath" I say looking online for advice.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITXNnOrtLb
She hurries upstairs, Nate takes a seat, pouring some whiskey.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeB2TUxs9L
"I'm gonna let her deal before I go up" he laughs and I chuckle.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4t7M4fFX6
"I'll go help" I laugh. Jay pulls me back lightly. I smile and kiss him.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzjiM957do
"Don't be gone too long" he says softly.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsOah0GVvw
"I'll be back before you know it" I smile.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8dMOXzpvM
I catch Ross' eye as I walk out. He's pulled his shirt off, and I try my best not to look at him too closely.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RqI9KJWJx
I head upstairs and knock before I go in.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhde0ffO0K
"Yep" she says softly. Rachel is never soft.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNJ1kwAdtY
"Can I come in" I ask.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XuemFdxkf
"Sure" she says.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtY8QbYDRae
I step in and she's sobbing and I feel awful.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwah65zhUJg
"You're good at this and everything and I'm rubbish I get things wrong all the time" she sighs.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5muYrz0iN5
"Don't be silly" I say, placing my arm around her shoulder.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQYug1OoiF
"Ross can't even look at me." She says.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1ZfQXHxkx
"Because he's Ross. He doesn't do casual sex" I say.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbjauwF4VJ
"Yeah but I don't want to ruin our friendship" she says.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTfQadDDcy
"You haven't, he's just being Ross" I say.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDwUhUbvzG
"Now let's sort out this tan" I say pacing into the en-suite and grabbing some coconut oil.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybdOfiTH1E
"Go put it on" I say.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVI7Gnr3XSM
"Then get in the bath" I explain.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vZTlCSoSk
"I'll be just next door, I'm not about to join the whiskey men's club down stairs" I laugh.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaVpv8jybZ
"You're the best" she says wiping her eyes as she stands and heads to the bath.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUUiNCjKuT
I smile and place my head in my hands sitting on the bed. As soon as I hear the water running I head into mine and Jay's room. I hang my dress up and place my new hot pink dress on the bed ready to change into.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktOAHNo2aD
I head into my own en-suite and shower. Washing away all of the heat and stickiness of the day. When I climb out I take my own advice and oil my skin and hair. If I can't drink tonight I'm going to dance. And that means doing my hair, putting on lashes and my new dress. Oh and my new heels.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDJjhBNC8b
I dry my hair and put on some makeup. I dress in hot pink lace lingerie. Jay will go wild. And I slide into my dress. As I'm fastening my heels I hear a knock at the door.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAo6kXTqSL
"Yep" I say.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVo4llKaBP
"Hey snap" Rachel says. Of course we're both wearing the dress.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBpdyjvePW
"See the tan looks much much better" I compliment her.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugo2hvuBmt
"Thanks Tay" she says.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Mf3cn7oBz
"For everything" she smiles.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEHKWDNaT6
"Now let's go and eat Jay and Matty's creation" I laugh.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pT5LziEty
"Are you worried?" She laughs.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWQ3YXGaju
"Oh it will be edible" I say.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOq3bx5XYhj
I follow her out and downstairs.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4qOYisRXG
"You look beautiful Rachel" Nate says and I smile at him. That's just the confidence boost she needed.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCBoMPMv0i
"You have the same dress" Nate laughs.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3AsIgaVej
I look over at Jay lounging by the counter with his whiskey. His eyes travel over my legs in the heels and up to my lips. He crosses the room, and kisses me softly on the lips he was just staring at. He's so assertive and dynamic. His shirt is still off and I can feel his smooth skin under my hands.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZkLIoPWkV
"Bad that I wanna take it off?" He whispers in my ear.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvADSyLoKr6
"My lingerie matches" I say teasing him.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIyuHy3gYH
"Oh Taylor" he sighs. And I want to tell him to take me right here right now.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhv6STvZh5
"That's just mean" he smirks.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnRNI6xfHM
"How's the food" I ask him. And he looks at me as if he's just remembered that he's cooking. I smile.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR43oKpJ7QR
I walk over to the cooker and he smiles. It smells divine. He pulls out the lasagne and actually it looks perfect.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXO2vUzzdP
"I made you something" he smiles.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBOH5EZos4
"It's a mocktail" he smiles.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfAMotUB6y
"An alcohol free sangria" he says pulling out a cocktail jug.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc61tt32XLd
I wipe my eyes and Rachel scoffs.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFaaxq4vj2
"Hormonal Taylor is back people" she laughs.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjUUY5zmmb
"You just wait until the day comes when you can't drink for nine months" I laugh. I taste Jay's mocktail and actually it's great. Refreshing.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ179DWQ0GrS
"Thank you" I whisper to him and he kisses me.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35WFAKdiGM
"Now sit and relax, I've got this" he says.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjnYQ4ma4G
"I even made a salad" he smiles. I kiss him passionately.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPP7jfH1oEQ
"Mmm" he sighs.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXButQCa44
"Don't distract me" he smiles.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xZMS0mwWb
"Okay, I love you so much" I say and I think I'm about to cry again. I wipe my eyes and he caresses Caleb in my tummy smiling.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR66VFfW9WX
"I love you both" he says, and I know everybody is listening in on us. He rubs my tummy and I want him. I kiss him again softly.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsc3C7nFXNr
"Taylor, you're not being fair" he smiles moving me over to the pan and beginning to plate up with me wrapped around his waist.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLc8W9lT2w
"I'll put the plates out" I say as he's finishing up.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURb6uycR1I
I place them one by one at the table along with the bowl of salad.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwLnP0m9uq
"I'm done with being distant because people are around" I whisper in his ear and he chuckles.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BDollleTn
He sits down and I sit on his lap at the table. I need him.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfUc0W8X48
"Have you missed each other or something" Rachel laughs.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrB6N4Z3Q3U
"Hugely" he replies eating some Lasagne.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlOzMffFEr
I sit in his lap feeling his arms around my waist. Focusing on our life and our unborn child. I fork up some lasagne myself and eat. Sip some of my mocktail sangria and face him. He feeds me a forkful and I swallow.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmM70KA9BuY
"Jay" Rach says.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTv6Y0DIH3n
"Were you always this person or do you think Taylor made you different" she asks and I get what she means. The Jay she fell for would never show any girl this kind of treatment.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR60D1KqGvn
"That's a really good question" he laughs.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5LhsJFLLX
"Hands down Jay you've always been like this" Matty laughs.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMipXhgIsyT
I smile at him and Jay feeds me another piece of lasagne. I dare not look at Ross.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZshN1vIFH
"Let's just say Taylor made me reconnect with a part of myself I thought I'd gotten rid of" he laughs.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZyQoIIIXu
"What the human part" Rachel laughs.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MuxVfHWvK
"Actually you're not wrong there" he says and I stroke his hair back.
"The part of me that trusts other people and cares for them. The part of me that shows people I love them and that I need them. The part that wants to make someone feel special" he says and I rub his arm.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkI35iRjjT
"Because obviously" she looks at Nate briefly. He nods aware that they dated. I feed him lasagne and then look down at my plate.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOubRcZ8BBq
"I mean you didn't even own a spatula and now you're cooking lasagne." She smiles.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzXpyikIHG
"I owned a spatula I just didn't use it" he laughs.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hp5gqDCfX
I kiss him and he downs his whiskey; stroking my thigh.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAvy3wxWK1
“I’m sorry Rachel you are right though I’ve changed since then. And I am sorry for being such a dick with you” he says and it’s genuine.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZ8x6on7rX
He tops up his whiskey.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbjsYHabNW
“No apologies needed” she smiles.
