Taylor's POV
9Please respect copyright.PENANAJMH2ixYWFt
"Jay" I call out loudly as he snickers and places his hand over my mouth. Stood behind me and thrusting into me as we finish orgasming, we hadn't made it up to the room before he took me from behind in the hall. He scoops my dress back down and straightens out his suit trousers standing in front of me as I get my breath back leaning against the wall for support. The ballroom is lit with chandeliers and a fully equipped bar, gold marble floors for dancing on. The music streams out as the door opens briefly and I shrink into the shadows with him. The hall that we have just made love in is very much the same, a chandelier glowing above us as he giggles pushing his hair back.

"That was spontaneous" I smirk brushing his cheek with my fingertips.
9Please respect copyright.PENANAlw9aGpnsow
"It couldn't wait" he giggles.
9Please respect copyright.PENANAXF70xwSddT
"You look darn hot Taylor" he whispers and I smile brushing my hands down his chest. He takes my hand and guides me back into the vast ballroom. Henry is napping in the pram with his pacifier in his mouth next to a large gilded table where Ross and Matthew both sit deep in conversation. Ross occasionally rocking the pram back and forth, Brandy's in hand as I usher Jay to the bar and get him another drink.

"Are you trying to get me drunk Taylor" he whispers in my ear and I giggle swatting his chest.
9Please respect copyright.PENANA52w2pCeZ3l
"Yes baby" I tell him as he kisses me enthusiastically and I return his passion before placing a glass in his hands and guiding him through the family members that are dancing, over to Christopher and the guys. Some of the best moves and most embarrassing dad dances are being executed out on the floor courtesy of Rachel's drunk uncles.
9Please respect copyright.PENANAFnQhyFLpJo
"Hey you cannot possibly embarrass yourself" I tell Jay when we reach the others. I glance at Cleo seducing an older man in Christopher's family and sigh unbelieving as Rachel eyes me.
9Please respect copyright.PENANAC9E3ZyMJ6q
"Have some class" I say under my breath as she nods just as displeased as myself.
9Please respect copyright.PENANA4thwVQT2y3
"Right it's my wedding" Rachel says smiling over at us as Ross looks up sure that he will be summoned for a dance.
9Please respect copyright.PENANAmDomucZBk9
"You and me have our first dance later" she begins eyeing her groom.
9Please respect copyright.PENANAWanCyWqQ1L
"However Ross you're up" she smiles as he stands and holds his hand out like the ultimate gentlemen. He guides her into the centre of the room and I eye Matthew as Jay talks with Christopher. It's business talk, Jay sits down rocking the pram as I grab Matthew's attention.
9Please respect copyright.PENANAZNh66cb9Hv
"No not having it" I say pulling Matthew up and holding his hand all the way through the crowd to the middle of the floor where I turn on him and take in his smile that only I can place upon his lips.
9Please respect copyright.PENANAJD5jKBjJOW
"It's a wedding and we always dance at weddings" I say to him as he places his hands on my hips and a slow song comes on. Matthew is familiar, his hands and the way they hold onto my lower back as he sways his hips with mine reminds me of everything we had and all that we lost. His blazer jacket left behind on the chair as I drape my hands around his neck, several buttons undone on his shirt as he gazes down at me wordlessly.

"Taylor" he begins as I shh him and hold him close.
9Please respect copyright.PENANA6jU5BYqE6S
"These are the only moments I get to talk to you" he whispers in my ear and I chuckle opening my eyes.
9Please respect copyright.PENANAf8GMTUO21v
"You look wonderful" he says softly and I smile eyeing Rachel over his shoulder and her interesting moves, Ross looks at her unbelieving in her white gown attempting to moonwalk to a slow song and does his best not to laugh. I meet Matthews eyes again and he smirks and raises his eyes from my chest.
9Please respect copyright.PENANAPW0sKC6DLY
"Just hold me Matthew" I whisper as he watches me. A few lights twinkle over his head and I maintain his eye contact. He grants my wishes and holds me for four songs, we don't speak with one another. He merely looks into my eyes and holds me just above my hips.
9Please respect copyright.PENANAmdX3VWAHjB
A louder more upbeat track comes on and I hear Rachel clap her hands approaching us. The chagrin crosses his face as he realises our moment is now over, Rachel swoops in and I let him go. It's her wedding day after all.
9Please respect copyright.PENANA98pbHP9h7C
"You held the flowers perfectly" Ross smiles down at me pulling me into his chest for a dance.
9Please respect copyright.PENANANG6Fc4UNkc
"Ross you literally had the biggest part in the whole wedding; apart from the groom and bride" I laugh.
9Please respect copyright.PENANAdJetpR9Wu6
"Not at all" he smiles rubbing my back lightly. We dance for a few songs, all of which are far too loud and not slow enough for us. We enjoy a slower rhythm than the more up beat dance tracks.
9Please respect copyright.PENANAIJ9MV4nja1
"So did you sleep with any of Rachel's cousins last night" I ask him laughing and he howls, chortling at me.
9Please respect copyright.PENANAexjdPXQj5B
"Lord no, I cannot imagine what he had been thinking" he laughs eyeing Matthew and then Cleo who is kissing a man twice her age.
9Please respect copyright.PENANAHAwnzUuDUS
"Girl gets around huh" I laugh and he chuckles.
9Please respect copyright.PENANAu5RwMWUN60
"I mean it's a private function they both should have known better" he laughs.
9Please respect copyright.PENANAegL4TaJg5L
"You looking forward to the alps" he asks me looking into my eyes briefly and changing the subject.
9Please respect copyright.PENANAZCquC20S91
"Sure I will not be snowboarding though in my condition" I tell him, I imagine myself sitting in a lodge with Rachel and taking care of Henry instead. Perhaps we will manage some baby shopping too.
9Please respect copyright.PENANAqtyCAGmnd7
"You will be a great snowboarder" I tell him as he chuckles.
9Please respect copyright.PENANAxi8nW68DyD
"I will be editing my book" he sighs and I smile widely, hearing him briefly talk through the publishing company in New York. The interest in his novels and a brief plot of his romantic novel.
9Please respect copyright.PENANA2E3iFO3sNN
"Can I just" Matthew cuts in and I smile up at him.
9Please respect copyright.PENANAuLjyfGcBw6
"Just hold her once more" he smiles amicably at Ross who only makes room for him. Leaving us I watch Ross return to the others across the gilded gold floors. The ornate pillars and architecture fit for a fairytale.
9Please respect copyright.PENANAYQriQiTnc4
Matthew holds me, two arms around my waist as I feel his body relax in my own.
9Please respect copyright.PENANAWJ7aO6mh6t
"You're leaving after the alps" I say swiftly after one song with Matthew. I can work him out after the years I've known him. He's been making decisions, I can tell because whenever I look at him his expression is different somehow.
9Please respect copyright.PENANAdvONepVBt1
"I don't have too" he whispers.
9Please respect copyright.PENANAzX34P53wPD
"But you must" I tell him reassuring him, I can understand why he would want to leave. Why he must go and pursue his own life.
9Please respect copyright.PENANAiPDDNFW2Ba
"Come with me" he ventures.
9Please respect copyright.PENANALDowFcKMKy
"Matthew" I whisper rubbing my bump, he watches the entire gesture captivated.
9Please respect copyright.PENANAvZoEAd9Au8
"I cannot" I tell him.
9Please respect copyright.PENANAz1fgCAV3HM
"But just know that every time you're ordering coffee or eating at a fancy restaurant or I don't know walking by the Thames, I'll be thinking of you" I tell him slowly.
9Please respect copyright.PENANAstePXKwRmx
"Every time I do those things I will be thinking of you" he whispers. One small lingering look leads to him brushing my cheek with his lips. And before we dwell, before we walk back down memory lane and our vast history that we share I walk him back to the others.

Henry is awake and in Jay's arms having a bottle, gazing at the twinkling lights as if he just woke up in a fairytale. I snicker slightly and rub his blonde hair between my fingers. Jay's eyes shine at me as I take a seat by his side.
9Please respect copyright.PENANAAFBJWXDOku
"Hope you're all packed for the alps tomorrow" Rachel asks eyeing us pointedly as I giggle.
9Please respect copyright.PENANAsM6vwpL2lU
"Wouldn't miss it for the world" I exclaim watching her before looking down into the eyes of my baby. Big blue eyes of wonder that will marvel at the snow tomorrow, one day soon he will be making snowmen and snowboarding himself I think idly as Jay rubs my thigh.
