Taylor's POV
11Please respect copyright.PENANAchDMac0YqC
Arising the following morning I look down at the blonde strands in my hair and smile. The sun filters through the voiles and I lay reminding myself that today is the day. Rachel will be wed today to the man of her dreams. Christopher I noticed steered clear of alcohol the night before and I couldn’t have picked a better man for my best friend.

It will be a large affair, and honestly I’m excited to meet more of Rachel’s family. Her cousins, she explained to me will be there and her mother. Her aunt from her mother’s side of the family, she has told me is a legend and I’m anticipating a rather large party afterwards.

Gazing at Henry as he lays sprawled out in the bassinet, one arm hooked above his head and the other draped over his tummy. Thankfully the sea breeze appears to have eased off today as I gaze at the cloudless sky and imagine myself in my dusty pink gown.

“Taylor” Jay whispers raspy his hand hovers over bump and I stroke his golden hair back smiling.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAE0uCvy4TqF
“Yes darling” I whisper over to him, the sun beating through the window onto his bare chest.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAhSHvIVwfHf
“Babies moving around lots this morning” he whispers with a grin on his face his eyes still closed.
11Please respect copyright.PENANA9wwWf0K7a4
“She is isn’t she” I smile and he opens his eyes captivated. Shuffling over to me even closer and kissing my lips he giggles. It’s an innocent sound and I cannot help but to rub his back.

“If it’s a girl. I hope she is the image of you” he smiles and I nod slowly placing my hands over his on my bump. Imagining a little version of myself with curly hair and blue eyes. Picturing dressing her up in coordinating outfits and braiding her hair like my mother once did with my own.

“I’ve got to be at hair and makeup by nine am” I inform him as he kisses my neck slowly. Jay positions himself on top as I glance at the large iron clock on the wall and take in the time, eight am, my heart falters and he giggles pinning me down to the bed.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAj1Ew6MccKJ
“Mmm did I ever tell you that I can stop time” he whispers.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAXSirFZfvy5
“You can?” I smile arching my hips up to his as he slowly inches into me.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAPSz8Zt7MPZ
“Mmm I promise” he smiles scooping his hair back and rocking in and out of me, I watch his taut muscles and smile.
11Please respect copyright.PENANA1lMPobezmw
“Lord darling” he whispers in his sexy accent and I sigh wondering what I ever did that was so good in my life to receive him as a reward. He builds up momentum and I sink down into the sheets feeling his possession of me.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAlJVdzQbIiY
“Naughty” I tell him as he lifts me up and places me down into the bathroom realising that it’s now nine am and that Rachel will be blowing up my phone imminently.

“Mmm I couldn’t wait until later” he whispers kissing my lips before going to check on Henry. I stand lathering up and letting the hot water massage my back. The water thunders down on the tiled floor as he slips back into the shower absolutely naked before me.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAq94K6ScGZo
“Here” he whispers turning me around and massaging my back.
11Please respect copyright.PENANA4jO94MCws1
“I can’t imagine not having you every single morning of my life” he whispers in my ear planting soft kisses on my neck as he works my back.
11Please respect copyright.PENANA5Sd4fIThKM
“I can’t imagine my life without you” I whisper and he giggles innocently. Taking control after he has alleviated the pain in my back I wash him, every single part of his body. We spend twenty or so minutes purely hugging under the stream of water until I hear my phone bleep incessantly from the bedside table and Henry stirring in his bassinet.
11Please respect copyright.PENANA5ktvO19el0
“I’ll miss having my hands on you all day long” he sighs wrapping me up in a towel.
11Please respect copyright.PENANA3ig4AAeoyZ
“You can make up for that later” I whisper kissing his lips before casually answering my phone to Rachel.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAtfe3tWGwM4
“Yes I just showered and I’m on my way now” I tell her as she begins fretting. I can hear from the tone of her voice that she is going to be unbearable today, and I don’t blame her one bit. If there’s one day in a woman’s life that she gets to be an overbearing drama queen it’s her wedding day.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAtHfwNCuMJb
“Of course” I say slowly placing her on speaker and pulling on a pair of linen shorts and a camisole. Jay watches me all the while dealing with our baby who is guzzling a bottle and thrashing his legs around excitedly.
11Please respect copyright.PENANA35fNOtRaJv
“Taylor you haven’t even left yet!” She gasps and I realise that it’s now ten am.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAWpFsdROShQ
“Sorry I had morning sickness” I lie and Jay laughs.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAR7G4X5XBtZ
“Oh Taylor I’m so sorry” she says slowly and I imagine her pacing around packing her dress.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAQMVTyZfcXw
“However it’s settled now and I’m on route” I explain grasping a large duffle and placing my dress in it. Alongside a cosmetics bag and the body oil I’m planning on lathering up in. I motion to Jay to pass me Henry for a cuddle and he smiles as I kiss and cuddle Henry.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAyb74NeLo8f
“Okay see you in ten” she says before hanging up.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAGuZRzjuLdd
“Oh Taylor you’re picking up bad habits, morning sickness!” He giggles as I rock Henry in my arms.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAijpnPAC9iJ
“Ohh shh she would blow her top if I told her the truth” I giggle eyeing him and his wet hair, effortlessly he always looks hot. My wet tendrils are soaking into my cami and my makeup-less face makes me feel insecure. I push the wet hair back and sigh.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAVt9Xe0DOTo
“You’re beautiful” he whispers as if reading my mind. I place Henry into the playpen and he shrieks excitedly playing with a rattle.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAZKrOOS477q
“Until later” I whisper to Jay who pulls me into his embrace.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAag94b9NOTh
“I’ll miss you” I whisper in his ear.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAjqiRdeZon6
“I’m assuming you’re all getting ready together too” I ask him as he nods grinning amused.
11Please respect copyright.PENANA3U73DRf2Uf
“Best man duties” he whispers.
11Please respect copyright.PENANARtvSaNkcIG
“Don’t lose the rings” I quip and he chuckles not wanting to let me go.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAhi9szkZUxZ
“I love you” he tells me as I go.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAhntENbTDNJ
“I love you” I tell him before sliding into my sandals and embracing him just one more time. Ten thirty and I’m out of the door, shouldering my duffle bag and heading out into the sunshine. The brunette that had been talking with Matthew the evening before sashays out of an adjoining villa, her dress from the night before still on as she scoops her hair into a ponytail and looks around conspicuously. Cheap shoes I notice as she paces down the resort in front of me, it’s not difficult to come to the conclusion that she spent the evening with Matthew. As far as I’m aware that’s his villa, and I can only assume he hooked up after a brief conversation the evening before. Decisively ignoring the situation and deciding that it’s none of my business, I cling onto bump and follow her and her cheap boots all the way down to the spa.
