Jays hands haven't left my hip bones. I'm sitting on top of this stool and my hormones are raging. I'm currently imagining him paying my body a whole lot more of attention, I've almost pulled him into the bathroom twice.

Matty is still next to us trying desperately not to look at Jays hands protectively stroking me. I can tell now that I'm sober just how drunk everybody is getting around me. Apart from Jay, he's very much happy yet completely aware of everything going on around him. He's eyed me twice in the last five minutes, making sure that I'm okay.

His eyes find mine again and I pull his face to mine cutting off his conversation with Matty. I kiss his lips passionately and he sighs. I feel his hands grip onto my hips. He pulls away lightly and I yearn for him.
74Please respect copyright.PENANAnfvwnTsRvz
"I think we should all dance" he says staring into my eyes.
74Please respect copyright.PENANAbxJzRYQOQF
I run my hands up Jays back and into his hair.
74Please respect copyright.PENANAshTp6PQf9s
"It is prom" I say softly maintaining his stare.
74Please respect copyright.PENANAW3vNhjtDy5
"You two" Rachel sashays over to us drunkenly. I notice how Jays body is completely shielding me and bump from anyone and anything. I keep staring at him, his eyes don't leave me even for a second.
74Please respect copyright.PENANApOJcl3qdYU
"Hello earth to Taylor" she says.
74Please respect copyright.PENANAubjRejaNbw
"Mmm" I say watching him, the heat behind his eyes but also the care and protection.
74Please respect copyright.PENANAQroYfiNUAg
"Let us go enjoy prom" she says imitating a posh accent.
74Please respect copyright.PENANAsIGySTAdGE
I break the stare to look at her. Ross is behind her without his date. I look behind him and see her intertwined with Joshua Morelli. Classy. I sigh. My rage boils up. And I almost leave Jay to go and tell her exactly what I think of her.
74Please respect copyright.PENANAcqUexNicyZ
"It's totally fine" Ross laughs.
74Please respect copyright.PENANAHP3Mb0r1b3
"Don't worry about it Taylor" Ross says.
74Please respect copyright.PENANAprka1FlASK
Jay holds onto me.
74Please respect copyright.PENANAUohBW25Odi
"What a slag" Rachel says.
74Please respect copyright.PENANAgwW82vGo27
"Excuse me" Kat says looking over her shoulder pulling her lips from him for a second.
74Please respect copyright.PENANAfGOZjPkIsE
"It's all good, guys" Ross says attempting to diffuse the situation. And here we are, I think, drama number one of the evening.
74Please respect copyright.PENANAfDtvVJ7bXl
"It is not all good" I say defiantly surprising myself.
74Please respect copyright.PENANA6TOkeLYJOj
"That's rich" she says eyeing me.
74Please respect copyright.PENANAdCAcOU1vjd
"Have you got something to say to me Kat" I almost shout at her.
74Please respect copyright.PENANAny5bN3WwZG
“I have actually” she spouts back.
74Please respect copyright.PENANAzoG8c7lL99
“You’re a bitch and you’re stringing along three guys at once so don’t talk to me about being a slag” she says venom behind her words.
74Please respect copyright.PENANAUcciylIXC1
“It’s not worth it” Jay whispers.
74Please respect copyright.PENANAhqieaIPRrv
“Okay” I say.
74Please respect copyright.PENANA7iQhCp4oiI
“Okay I let you into my home, I feed you dinner, let you get drunk off of my alcohol. And you think you can talk to me like that. Ross is my best friend he doesn’t deserve to be used either by the way” I say seething.
74Please respect copyright.PENANAvCbwKFIm91
“You’re…” she begins but I cut her off.
74Please respect copyright.PENANAbF8MM2Vbun
“I’m what ? A bitch? What have I ever done but try to be nice to you ?” I say.
74Please respect copyright.PENANAZRoD8jgP2M
“You’re a slut trying to be with three guys at once.” She spits.
74Please respect copyright.PENANAxs8aPx7p0M
“Grow the fuck up” I say losing my shit.
74Please respect copyright.PENANAMokITbUVVC
“Stick to one man” she spouts back.
74Please respect copyright.PENANA3K4ixftUl8
“Enough, that’s your warning don’t talk about my fiancée in that way” Jay says.
74Please respect copyright.PENANAwUSy5duxvG
“Shit Kat just go be a stuck up bitch someplace else” Rachel says.
74Please respect copyright.PENANAx789Qr0HAp
“Okay” Ross says, and I’m slightly surprised by the venom behind his words.
74Please respect copyright.PENANAzbbGSdVgsl
“I tried okay, to treat you nicely, to make you feel comfortable. I took you to my friends and they fed you. They were nice to you. It’s common decency to just be nice back. You’re unimaginable. You’re acting like a spoilt brat. And I can take you kissing another douchebag no offence Josh even though I’m your date” Ross begins.
74Please respect copyright.PENANAK6rLLWnus8
“None taken, man” Joshua says removing himself from her embrace.
74Please respect copyright.PENANAOfYaKWzoSo
“But do not talk to my friends or Taylor like that. In fact don’t talk to us at all” Ross finishes.
74Please respect copyright.PENANAb9jB0bmKJj
We all look at him in disbelief, Ross is so easy going. He never rants. He doesn’t get annoyed, he just moves on. The peacekeeper of our group.
74Please respect copyright.PENANANz60TPr2kS
“Ross” she says.
74Please respect copyright.PENANAKRjno5QQ3U
“You’re so in love with her; you’re blind to who she actually is” she begins.
74Please respect copyright.PENANA2wycf2Rf7L
“No. I thought I just said don’t talk to us at all. I’m not interested in anything you have to say. You know nothing of Taylor. She’s ten times the woman you could ever dream to be. She saved my fucking life when I almost died, she endangered her own life for me. So don’t presume to know anything about her or me for that matter” he says.
74Please respect copyright.PENANAELl2NpmTek
I start crying, not really a chance of a pregnant me being able to remain dry eyed throughout that speech.
74Please respect copyright.PENANAHBJ4LWxVst
“I’m sorry, Taylor” Joshua says.
74Please respect copyright.PENANA9DMnF3pA10
“I didn’t want to cause any trouble” he repeats placing his hands up and removing himself from the situation.
74Please respect copyright.PENANAzrfEB7PG1l
I nod to him, appreciating his apology. Which to be fair he did not really need to give me. I notice Jay smile at him slightly too.
74Please respect copyright.PENANAqDUY5cFxIt
“Are we done here” Rachel says.
74Please respect copyright.PENANAGTYyY9KpUN
“Yeah I’m done” I say, I slide off of my stool and Jay steadies me.
74Please respect copyright.PENANAQCp9MHXl9B
We walk away from Kat and head to the dance floor. Drama number one safely behind us. I cross my fingers for no more fighting.
74Please respect copyright.PENANAg8DZMHPukb
Jay strokes my hair back, pulls my hips in closer. And he leads my hips into a sway. I hold him close, his hands are on my lower back and mine are wrapped around his neck. He brushes my hair over my other shoulder.
74Please respect copyright.PENANA8DTKNB5KWH
“What do you want Taylor?” He whispers and kisses my neck.
74Please respect copyright.PENANAj9ZZ85sGVQ
“I want you” I gasp, he has to know how turned on I am.
74Please respect copyright.PENANA9LMZE1mclK
He softly kisses my neck again, over and over. I lose sense of anything else. His hands on me, pulling me in. He spins me around to face the other direction, wraps his arms around my waist carefully. He slowly kisses my neck and I am putty in his hands.
74Please respect copyright.PENANAeYvDPRoqER
“Taylor” he whispers.
74Please respect copyright.PENANA12jGsoZFC0
“I’m not sharing, no way. But dancing is fine” he smiles glancing at Ross and Matty.
74Please respect copyright.PENANAdGV485oDbg
“Give Rachel a spin” I laugh.
74Please respect copyright.PENANAhW71yQEEEW
“Not a chance, I’m getting a shot. And water for you” he says.
74Please respect copyright.PENANAI2YVChbd60
“Dance” he says kissing my lips.
74Please respect copyright.PENANADsGCwPXjhc
“I’ll be right back” he says.
