Walking up the steps to psychology, in my pale blue skirt, trainers and leotard for dance I sigh. There's a clash, Jay has an exam for his finals. We spent an extra fifteen minutes together in the car, me wishing him luck and him kissing me. And now I'm running late too class.

I rush down the now empty corridor and creak the lecture hall door open, I spot my seat next to Ross and head to it. Sitting down next to him quietly, I've already warned myself that this would feel different. We crossed that physical boundary last night. And we haven't spoken since. We need to speak, I plan that in my head. Instead of thinking about the heat between us. The feel of his hands grasping on my hips, his lips crushing into mine.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGG2G8ydTD
"You okay" he says and I'm infuriated, not now Ross. Let's just get through this lecture.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJ7GpyGltD
"Yes" I say instead.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vaeSrNNhV
"You good" I say not daring to look at him.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eWGaYqP4j
"Mhmm" he says softly.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJm7FEUW3Wz
The lecture carries on as if we had never even spoken. I cross my legs over and write notes. Letting my hair fall like a veil in between us. I watch the clock every now and again waiting for it to be over.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHQhy9WMo5
Ross scrawls some important points on his notepad, he doesn't stare at me and he doesn't make me uncomfortable. And somehow all I can think about is him. I continually make notes and as we finish up I look up admiring the sheer amount I've written. It's the most I have ever written down in a lecture.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBacXq1am5Y
I pack my bag, still not looking at him.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4GaeKscJV
"Taylor" he says softly and it is my undoing.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMqYeLe41w
I look at him finally, anxiety etched over his features.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqjO5vbBB6
"I'm sorry I didn't mean for this to ruin things" he says softly.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDm1wUxqgpD
"You have no reason to apologise. If anything it's a me problem. I'm sorry, not for what we did. But for making things weird" I say looking at him.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQm0BfKFB2
The tension eases from his features.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUy5bf6ENRW
"Hot chocolate or a latte" he asks.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdldPE8OD9
"Let's go" I say smiling at him.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8ilAkG33i
I walk behind him through the halls. He pushes his blonde hair back, my eyes watch his broad shoulders work through the crowd. When we're finally out of the building we walk up to the coffee shop. I text Jay, he's still got two hours left in his exam.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTusHyvcZS
Ross holds the coffee shop door open and I walk in hoping nobody we know is here. Because I want to talk to just him.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENUXSxDJWQ
He orders us drinks and we take a seat upstairs on the sofas. I sit back and sip my hot chocolate first.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCBhVS34CN
"Thanks" I say to him, for the drink.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK69a40XouB
"You never have to thank me" he laughs.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtsi1TxkPS
I turn my body to face his.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCl04938fE
"Ross, perhaps I should have properly considered things before we did all that last night. Our circumstances I mean." I say to begin.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLC7ZIx1JML
"We have a lot of history, romantically speaking. And it wasn't fair of me" I begin.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIT0zCPL2e
"We do, I'm not gonna sit here and pretend I don't love you. But" he says and a smile plays across his lips.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlP5aJUrl7P
"But I knew exactly the deal" he says softly and his hand caresses my cheek. I close my eyes, feeling his touch on my skin.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0I7FdbXlU
"I loved it" I whisper before I can stop myself.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn17TfkDXCq
"I loved it" he whispers.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRR6yK5k0s
His fingers graze my lips, and I get all in my head. Remembering what Jay said, about being present when I'm flirting or being naughty. I softly take his hand in mine and place it down off of me.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBaraBgIJZ
He smiles and sips his coffee.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iemBqaRK4
"So we're all good?" I say to him.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAV8YWYL6m7
"We're all good" he says looking at me.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5cmfuGLe5
"Good" I say smiling slightly.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJ4KNgiTSU
"Where is Jay?" He says no inflection in his tone.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmgwYLhtp9
"He's actually got a final exam" I clarify and he nods his head.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAJ9Lmes1O
We sit in comfortable silence, he crosses one leg over his knee and I tell myself to focus on anything other than last night.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbc8CHQt2y
"Taylor we're all good I promise" he says after I've been silent for a while.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9GX4mxTTZ
"I know" I say facing him again.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KnVlop8bX
His eyes assess me.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEklh3FGES
"Do you really love me?" I ask, for once addressing his claim. He looks at me, his hand on my thigh.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Z2zs08XqY
"I have loved you from the very beginning" he says.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzQrOT9acB
I look away, at anything but him. I'm so selfish treating him like this, giving him parts of me as and when it suits me.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzDm2EoSF3
"I understand though. And for a while I've thought about this; I know that you're in love with Jay. I know that you're going to marry him and have a life with him. And of course I'm jealous. That's natural, but I put aside my jealousy to keep you in my life because I love you. What we did together doesn't change anything, I just got to have a part of you. And I'm happy with that." He says and I listen to him.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bCPmYO0GV
"I know you have feelings for me, but I also know that you love Jay. You wouldn't be able to fake what we did, or the kiss we shared in the hospital. I can feel how you feel about me through those things" he says and I look at him.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwqkhXwPrt
Physical attraction is different to what I feel for Ross. Physical attraction is just one small part of it. I've always been physically attracted to him. But there is more to this. Something in the way he turns to me when things are rough, when he trusts me with everything, or when he continues to be there for me even though he probably shouldn't.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbdaAbiM0V
"Would you prefer it if I didn't do those things" I ask quietly.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfmXaTlstM
"No" he says softly and his hands cup my chin.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJDQUm7XAB
"Don't move" he says softly.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfzmm4XIew
"Just count this one as if it happened last night" he smiles and then he kisses me lightly on my lips. I almost tell him off, instead I turn to face the table blushing.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FeOnaV2xr
"What bit did you enjoy the most last night" I ask him after a minute.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomlwxNbmXd
"My head being here" he says and his hand hovers over the space in between my legs.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0hoGEkYIj
He puts an arm around me and places his mouth near my ear.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjravLEmLNo
"I enjoyed making you go all over my mouth. I enjoyed you moaning and telling me that you liked it" he whispers.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNGXsbp8oO
"What did you enjoy" he whispers hand still on my thigh.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUca7OADHcE
"I enjoyed kissing you and touching you, making you go in my hands. And I loved sucking you whilst being filled by Jay" I say softly looking at him. A wide smile goes across his lips.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIVCgnaBAx
"Naughty" he whispers and his lips are right there.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIcq9AM1EC
He just stares at me and I look into his eyes.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzecLyRcUY6
"We should join the others" I say softly and he nods. I know he wants to kiss me, but letting him kiss me again would be wrong. So I put distance between us. We grab our things and then leave.
