Taylor's POV
66Please respect copyright.PENANAxC5qzUpVJw
Just one more morning, I tell myself. Before my world returns back to normal and Jay is home.

I turn to face Matthew in bed, the sheets wrapped around his waist, his hair flowing all over his face. Smiling I dare to reach out and stroke his hair back. He grins as my hands stroke him, hands going over his shoulders and jaw.
66Please respect copyright.PENANASA4SAKoyNI
"Don't tell Jay" he whispers hazily.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAvWdDJJemow
I sigh, I know exactly why he doesn't want me to tell him. It's not because of the inevitable fight, it's more to do with the fact that we will never have this again if Jay knows. It's game over.
66Please respect copyright.PENANA81P6qfIVUV
"Don't" he says again more awake.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAyFPUIcSdtk
"I had this dream last night" he says moving closer.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAjrD0NMCfRZ
"You and the baby. We were looking after the baby together. And I need that" he says softly his eyes opening looking at me.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAcGxHmqCD4a
He smirks and I watch him uncomprehending of his next move.
66Please respect copyright.PENANA7Wxzr4l2Gb
"Don't tell him" he says softly, his hand stroking bump under the covers.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAMz8G028qpr
"I'll take the hit no problem, but losing this time we can continue to have together. I can't do it" he says.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAcpB3ijhZac
I smile at him stroking his face and hair.
66Please respect copyright.PENANArkOFAet4NJ
"Taylor, please I'm begging you just give us this one thing. Companionship" he says holding onto my hips.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAATmvFr5NT7
"I won't even touch you anymore if you feel better about it, but please keep me here" he explains.
66Please respect copyright.PENANA1BKVVvMUOK
A few stray tears fall down my face and he wipes them away quickly.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAA4eFxbuJFj
"Deal?" He asks softly.
66Please respect copyright.PENANADcDpdRiFXm
"Yes" I nod slowly. His eyes glisten and he pulls me in close.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAzGNIG3YVV8
"Thank you" he says eyes washing over me.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAh1woVwV8xK
We spend the morning at cherry tree, together. Not mentioning anything about our behaviour over the last few days. He finds every moment to touch me and hold me close and seizes all of the opportunities.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAsLdxMtA9mb
Helping me into the 4x4, he closes the door behind me and climbs in the drivers side. Starts up, the music coming on which he instantly turns down. He puts the car in reverse and takes us down the long drive to the gates.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAkjEQO4nwh5
His hand travels over the console and comes to rest on my thigh as I'm staring out the windshield.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAuIc2dmXUaI
"You've got to let me know if you don't want me to touch you anymore" he says and I squirm. Feeling like I'm losing myself over and over again.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAcSqaBnVi7X
"I know" I say simply and he strokes my thigh up to my bump. He rests his hand there and I sit back and close my eyes.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAPLWAUrgRrc
"When is Jay back" he asks me after a pause. I realise I haven't even checked my phone. I pull my purse out from under the dash and grab my phone. Unlocking it, reading his message which was sent an hour ago telling me that he is boarding.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAFLUbgvWFfO
"Well actually" I begin slowly.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAWjXo7Asc64
"He boarded about an hour ago which means he'll be back tomorrow by like 12" I say.
66Please respect copyright.PENANA1gzkD7ABIu
"Means we have another night ?" He asks me his finger rubbing bump.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAZfIjVGXlec
"Yeah, I didn't consider the flight time" I add lounging back.
66Please respect copyright.PENANA1CGjuyuYew
He smiles over at me, hands continuing to feel Henry's kicks from my tummy.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAgPy6hRNvWL
He pulls into the hospital lot and finds a space, comes around to my side of the car and helps me out. Matthew holds my hand as we walk through the hospital. Dressed in black Levi's and a dark olive green t-shirt with his leather jacket slung on people look at him. Women eye him up but he holds onto me his hand in mine.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAVdt2Rxhc9E
I opted for a cream silk camisole today and a light denim skirt completed with wedge sandals. They make a dull clink on the hospital floor as I walk hand in hand with him.
66Please respect copyright.PENANA6rKU4pIeRG
Ahead I see Olivia, she's hard to miss with her red hair. It's the kind of attribute that sticks out everywhere. Wearing proper scrubs today and crocs she's glances up at us. The pale blue hospital uniform contrasting awfully with her red hair.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAb8hvShzZNy
"We should probably stop holding hands now considering how close we are to the suite" I say and he looks down at me.
66Please respect copyright.PENANA2qRqhdqPLu
"Olivia is not going to say a darn thing" he smiles.
66Please respect copyright.PENANA31vyKTcI0e
I smile up at him and he removes his hand from my own. Keeping my eye contact he places his arm around my lower back.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAfrGWnELldd
"You don't want Jay to know" I whisper.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAEMMHnRijkw
"Then you need to minimise who sees us" I say.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAs6Hgw9ORgl
"Olivia is nothing to us" he says smirking.
66Please respect copyright.PENANABOmuCBlprz
"You really think Olivia and Jay are ever gonna sit down and have a chat. Nope didn't think so" he laughs at my expression, his other hand pulls my lips to his and he kisses me quickly.
66Please respect copyright.PENANA7pdzfK2DCG
"There, she saw that" he whispers, I gasp.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAfUGHPmFTlq
"Plus if he asked; we just say I was trying to make Olivia leave me alone. He may be mad but he'll understand" he laughs.
66Please respect copyright.PENANA3zyiYqjZvS
We approach Olivia together and he acts cool around her.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAFT9SKQNtEE
"Morning" she says curtly looking up at us briefly and then back down at her clipboard.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAbZito87rZ6
"Hey Olivia" I saw sweetly.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAzBD0pyv6ig
She meets my eyes with a look that is mixed with jealousy and disdain. It's unfortunate that all of the women that come into my life wind up hating me because of my relationships.
66Please respect copyright.PENANABSAs4Dqvf2
"I've been working all night, he's great. physio today" she says coldly looking at Matty, ignoring me entirely.
66Please respect copyright.PENANA9z18DFF68K
"Thanks for the update" I say lightly disengaging myself from Matty, my emotions high. I wipe my eyes lightly; it's embarrassing that almost every negative situation renders me to tears.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAeINjYqSu4A
She looks at me horrified and then looks down at her clipboard.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAkMwPk0t1LX
"Taylor, baby is everything okay" Matthew asks concerned. He turns his body to face me. I smile up at him weakly.
66Please respect copyright.PENANApB0UlN8GdH
“Honestly it’s just the hormones” I say, why does everybody hate me? Negativity kicks back in again and I tell myself it’s because I’m selfish and I can’t leave him alone to just be happy with somebody else. Somebody like Olivia.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAredXPH5aLD
"I'll give you a minute" I say leaving him and walking into the suite.
