"I'm sorry I just lost it, you're not the only one feeling high emotions okay" Jay says focusing on the road.
90Please respect copyright.PENANAwCCIkR99os
"You just left me." I say stubbornly.
90Please respect copyright.PENANAgA5xO5mgML
"That was out of order. I understand. I just didn't want to be in that room anymore. Believe it or not I don't wanna hit Matthew" Jay says.
90Please respect copyright.PENANAZLDK2HxRi1
"He's an absolute ass. But I'd like to think I'm past being taunted and hitting him. Yes I had him against a wall" he sighs looking at my amused expression.
90Please respect copyright.PENANA4x0GPCvWB5
I defrost a little. I turn my body towards him in the car.
90Please respect copyright.PENANAwTdcYrGYqm
"It was too much. I'm sure Rach loves stirring up stuff and causing fights" I say softly.
90Please respect copyright.PENANAdqFUeE0VX3
"I get it. I wanted to rip you away from her when you kissed her" I say sympathetically.
90Please respect copyright.PENANAUdXk8yPQRp
"Are we totally jealous partners" he laughs softly.
90Please respect copyright.PENANARS5GRtXFGp
"I just think it was a step too far" I say.
90Please respect copyright.PENANAn898d1svop
After a brief pause, the music down low and the heater on. I feel Jays free hand rest on my knee.
"I love you Taylor, I cannot share. Since you have become pregnant with my child my protectiveness has hit the roof. I'm sorry that came out in the form of anger tonight" he says softly.
90Please respect copyright.PENANA6KrdP0QhzA
"I love you too, I guess no more spin the bottle then" I say.
90Please respect copyright.PENANAQ7g5OjD5MW
Houses out of the window pass and then we are on the highway eventually leading to the lake which we currently call home. I look out at the lake and take in the dark, inkey water that still gives me a feeling of peace and calm.
90Please respect copyright.PENANAg71mVRy9ze
Jay pulls us into the drive and kills the engine. He comes around and gets my door, holding it open for me.
“I’m actually so glad to be back here” I say softly.
90Please respect copyright.PENANAGqPUamOUqT
We walk in together through the back door into the large kitchen. I go to the kettle switch it on and glance at the large iron clock on the wall and notice that it’s 2am.
90Please respect copyright.PENANA5hnFIrLQB5
“The new house has a hot tap” Jay says smiling.
90Please respect copyright.PENANAzmtl8xC2EE
“No more waiting for the kettle to boil” I laugh.
90Please respect copyright.PENANAJw5B0VAlLD
I pour two cups of hot cocoa and smile at him.
90Please respect copyright.PENANAawC1HImytf
“What time do you wanna start moving tomorrow” I ask him.
90Please respect copyright.PENANAVe7pIw4s6s
“Not too early” he chuckles.
90Please respect copyright.PENANAHSWRFtYjB0
He takes me in his arms, his expression changing from amused to serious quickly.
90Please respect copyright.PENANAFa39H0Rcjb
“You don’t love him anymore?” He asks softly.
90Please respect copyright.PENANASx7HeantIp
I feel like I’ve been splashed with cold water. He means Matty. Going to his house was a bad move.
90Please respect copyright.PENANAOGv3XLNHQF
“Jay” I begin looking him in the eyes.
“I’m here. We’re here” I say taking his hand and placing it on my belly.
90Please respect copyright.PENANAs3C2hPglmz
I can’t help but be annoyed at him. I love him completely and utterly. My past with Matty doesn’t change that. Personally I think when you have been so close to somebody, to the point of almost sharing your whole life with that person. And when you have lost it all with somebody, I can’t help but to think that there will always be an undeniable connection between the two of you. A connection that changes over time, from the burning love that myself and Matthew used to share. To merely acknowledging the fact that we had something once.
90Please respect copyright.PENANAZmwxpjsUQQ
“I know” he says caressing my tummy. Watching my eyes with his clear blue stare.
90Please respect copyright.PENANAePyk9j9oIk
“If you have any doubts about me I won’t begrudge you them, Taylor” he says softly.
90Please respect copyright.PENANACamNycAU85
“I won’t” he says looking into my eyes, shiny tears suddenly falling from his own.
90Please respect copyright.PENANAx36LUUGppZ
“Why would I possibly ever have any doubts about you and us, Jay” I say softly my hands going to his cheeks. Catching the tears falling there.
90Please respect copyright.PENANAMMNJQgzGVR
“Because I’m me” he says suddenly frustrated.
“I do stupid things, and I’m totally reckless. I get jealous. Wanna know how much I think about shutting him up? All the time because I want you to myself. Because I’ve never ever loved anybody, and now that I love you I can’t work out how to do it” he says.
90Please respect copyright.PENANAXLgE5u7VYR
“I love you, Jay. I love you because you are you.” I say smiling.
90Please respect copyright.PENANAFqn1yh5kGk
“I love you in spite of your recklessness. I love you because this is real for me. I need you so sorry, we need you. We need you and it’s too late for you to have a wobble and talk yourself out of it” I say breathless.
90Please respect copyright.PENANAzTE9zMIyTY
“You are everything” I say unsure of any other way to put it.
90Please respect copyright.PENANAGmTvKn6vbv
He catches my tears wiping them away with his fingers. We’re standing in our kitchen at 2am wiping away each other’s tears. And I know he is my all, my everything and the only one I will entertain for the rest of my life.
90Please respect copyright.PENANAq9RM7Zh9oS
“So take my everything, don’t let it go for the rest of your life. Don’t doubt it or forsake it. It’s yours” I say softly.
90Please respect copyright.PENANAi9ntbxchXB
He stares at me for a second before taking my lips in his own. Softly at first planting kisses on my lips and all over my cheeks and neck. I smile and chuckle lightly.
90Please respect copyright.PENANAAVyOJiqw3V
“Jay, I love you” I whisper to him.
90Please respect copyright.PENANAQlfxIDjVkp
“I love you” he whispers back unzipping my dress delicately and letting it fall to the floor. He kisses down my chest, unhooking my bra swiftly. Kissing my nipples, missing not even a millimetre of my skin. He bends to his knees, kisses my tummy in the most cherished soft sweet way. My breathing hitches at his delicate touch on my back, his lips.
90Please respect copyright.PENANAUU2uH4ELk4
He looks up catching his breath still on his knees.
90Please respect copyright.PENANA51lAA4zk5P
“Taylor” he begins and he grasps my hand with my engagement ring. Places my hand and holds its over my tummy.
90Please respect copyright.PENANAreZnn7rrFM
“I know I’ve done this before. I know we’re engaged already but” he says softly.
90Please respect copyright.PENANA04eOwvKZYC
“Will you take me as your husband, the father of our unborn child, the other half of your everything for the rest of eternity” he says looking up at me.
90Please respect copyright.PENANAOhNTjpw2AS
I had thought the first time he did this was emotional. Somehow the setting of a sandy beach in Australia cannot compare to our kitchen at 2am. The stillness of the world around me, just me and him and bump in our own moment. I cry. I fully cry, not cute happy tears this time. But tears that could fill up the oceans.
90Please respect copyright.PENANA1bC9OcpcUp
This is the perfect engagement, just us and all that it means to the both of us.
90Please respect copyright.PENANAGgVqaNmI3V
“I’ll take you for the rest of eternity” I finally manage through tears. Glancing down at him and realising that he too is crying.
90Please respect copyright.PENANA3Nh0quQic6
He kisses our bump again, and whispers so softly.
90Please respect copyright.PENANAdf76fiPsLu
“I won’t let you down” he says.
90Please respect copyright.PENANA3pXF6AvNmf
His kisses are endless. I feel myself heating up again as if the temperature has just been dialled up. Through his kisses, his mouth never leaving my skin, not even for a second. He places his hands on my panties and hesitates slightly. As if asking permission to which my whole body screams; now take me now.
90Please respect copyright.PENANAG8CjmL8cmx
“Yes” I say breathless. He doesn’t need to be told again he rips the sides of my panties and they fall to the floor.
90Please respect copyright.PENANAqXZS0vLdb4
I part my legs and bending down in front of me he tastes me. He kisses me and my skin catches alight. Thrusting my hips into his mouth. He stands up and wordlessly lifts me onto the countertop.
90Please respect copyright.PENANAsFAw1F8aKp
“You are” he says thrusting into me.
“Everything” he says finally opening his eyes to look into my own.
90Please respect copyright.PENANAx0GCgotnNw
“My Taylor” he says thrusting.
90Please respect copyright.PENANAvkq36VUGR0
“My baby” he smiles hand caressing my tummy.
90Please respect copyright.PENANAqcDVs9Jlrq
I smile at him whilst he’s inside of me.
90Please respect copyright.PENANAUijF5EtrVe
“All yours” I say.
90Please respect copyright.PENANAWj1scuOSYw
He moans. A sound I’ve not heard from him before; altogether more primal. I savour it.
90Please respect copyright.PENANAWr15MsrrTC
“Give me it all, Jay” I say softly.
90Please respect copyright.PENANAQVp7eNpx3P
Deep inside me I feel him go and I clamp my legs around him not wanting to ever let him go.
