Taylor's POV
83Please respect copyright.PENANAOERsyUIIFb
Just one more morning, I tell myself. Before my world returns back to normal and Jay is home.
83Please respect copyright.PENANAzFYR0NZIlV
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.
83Please respect copyright.PENANAHu3gXY3qVK
"Don't tell Jay" he whispers hazily.
83Please respect copyright.PENANANYuNfYxaWe
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.
83Please respect copyright.PENANABbyxA8k5oK
"Don't" he says again more awake.
83Please respect copyright.PENANAjg0wcw2Hr7
"I had this dream last night" he says moving closer.
83Please respect copyright.PENANAKWwliJXgKk
"You and the baby. We were looking after the baby together. And I need that" he says softly his eyes opening looking at me.
83Please respect copyright.PENANA73m9y8xN4j
He smirks and I watch him uncomprehending of his next move.
83Please respect copyright.PENANArdLwgJ6JEm
"Don't tell him" he says softly, his hand stroking bump under the covers.
83Please respect copyright.PENANAa7FFdZSHIW
"I'll take the hit no problem, but losing this time we can continue to have together. I can't do it" he says.
83Please respect copyright.PENANAFkiCzQaUmT
I smile at him stroking his face and hair.
83Please respect copyright.PENANAatvz5YQl3z
"Taylor, please I'm begging you just give us this one thing. Companionship" he says holding onto my hips.
83Please respect copyright.PENANA5YFTWOLJp3
"I won't even touch you anymore if you feel better about it, but please keep me here" he explains.
83Please respect copyright.PENANA6sogDMNerc
A few stray tears fall down my face and he wipes them away quickly.
83Please respect copyright.PENANAYfL5UTh7zA
"Deal?" He asks softly.
83Please respect copyright.PENANAZbkvpQEmKz
"Yes" I nod slowly. His eyes glisten and he pulls me in close.
83Please respect copyright.PENANAUUCZSSs6OY
"Thank you" he says eyes washing over me.
83Please respect copyright.PENANAQTqRS5oqQF
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.
83Please respect copyright.PENANAXvvFtA0Hcd
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.
83Please respect copyright.PENANAmHNB6l0thM
His hand travels over the console and comes to rest on my thigh as I'm staring out the windshield.
83Please respect copyright.PENANA4Bp7yHeISu
"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.
83Please respect copyright.PENANAaxRcdeLxYX
"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.
83Please respect copyright.PENANAxIiOY5Elhd
"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.
83Please respect copyright.PENANA2Qsok83zT0
"Well actually" I begin slowly.
83Please respect copyright.PENANACYsuMeTPz3
"He boarded about an hour ago which means he'll be back tomorrow by like 12" I say.
83Please respect copyright.PENANAlUi4m5DwB0
"Means we have another night ?" He asks me his finger rubbing bump.
83Please respect copyright.PENANA6PbODtQzcI
"Yeah, I didn't consider the flight time" I add lounging back.
83Please respect copyright.PENANAu1BjY20DdB
He smiles over at me, hands continuing to feel Henry's kicks from my tummy.
83Please respect copyright.PENANAx6DPsK83hS
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.
83Please respect copyright.PENANAR8DVvccDJf
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.
83Please respect copyright.PENANAN84o34SOeS
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.
83Please respect copyright.PENANAegOixMsSIn
"We should probably stop holding hands now considering how close we are to the suite" I say and he looks down at me.
83Please respect copyright.PENANA4sZwhSONBw
"Olivia is not going to say a darn thing" he smiles.
83Please respect copyright.PENANAy4rn4BW4ey
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.
83Please respect copyright.PENANARsXCOZOo2h
"You don't want Jay to know" I whisper.
83Please respect copyright.PENANAdZ7QJGFMuq
"Then you need to minimise who sees us" I say.
83Please respect copyright.PENANAzKVZGDESZD
"Olivia is nothing to us" he says smirking.
83Please respect copyright.PENANAP8ocRpy1SN
"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.
83Please respect copyright.PENANAq6YaTFgDpg
"There, she saw that" he whispers, I gasp.
83Please respect copyright.PENANAQyLivUbpmK
"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.
83Please respect copyright.PENANApdLLY41Q1A
We approach Olivia together and he acts cool around her.
83Please respect copyright.PENANA1dyLNxMzXg
"Morning" she says curtly looking up at us briefly and then back down at her clipboard.
83Please respect copyright.PENANA9dC6NIjceC
"Hey Olivia" I saw sweetly.
83Please respect copyright.PENANATGPC7xBrey
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.
83Please respect copyright.PENANADqHeXcw2lO
"I've been working all night, he's great. physio today" she says coldly looking at Matty, ignoring me entirely.
83Please respect copyright.PENANAARzNeQoFWZ
"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.
83Please respect copyright.PENANANOjBo8OC4R
She looks at me horrified and then looks down at her clipboard.
83Please respect copyright.PENANA9hZiZrFIIm
"Taylor, baby is everything okay" Matthew asks concerned. He turns his body to face me. I smile up at him weakly.
83Please respect copyright.PENANA9z3zK5OTmW
“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.
83Please respect copyright.PENANAlXB5jZgE90
"I'll give you a minute" I say leaving him and walking into the suite.
