Matty's POV
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSAHq4rqEL
"Really you're going to upset my pregnant best friend" I say annoyed with her. And her stupid red hair and piercing green eyes. She looks at me defiance in her body language. Winged eyeliner that's far too much for her dainty face.

"I didn't do a thing." she snaps exasperated with me.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntlco1OV8Z
"Unbelievable" I say frustrated, I push my hair back and walk away from her. Back to Taylor. Back to the woman that needs my attention.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAH5Vo9SuK
"You know" she calls out and I ignore her.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnZT5aZPR3
"Im not interested." I say huffing and walking away as she pursues me. I'm hoping she doesn't push me further, I'm already wound up with Jay returning.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmWkBSIO76
"You are, or you wouldn't make such a meal out of being around her when I'm present" she says, and I feel my jaw clench just ever so slightly.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdUjo8nEXo
I turn on her, anger rising, I can practically feel my blood heating up. I face her and she looks shocked. My hands curled into fists, it's frustration. I would never harm a woman.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHZZ0Z9NRT
"You think that's making a meal out of it!" I say sourly.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDShQVuTUg
"I slept with her all night long" I say, uncaring about what she might think. So what if she thinks I'm having sex with her. Her expression turns from shock to utter horror.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9thMEl6U3V
"I slept with her because I can and it has nothing to do with you, you just work here. You don't even know me so give me a break" I add before turning on my heel. Not wishing to witness her smirk at my childish reaction.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3Pl5RSkxg
"You're a fool" she whispers and I know she's upset.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBI51G6P6R
Walking towards the suite, the stench of disinfectant and hospital food invading my nose. I push the door open, my eyes search for Taylor first.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3E8z5MQMb
Locating her brunette hair and slender frame, I relax perceptibly. Breathe in and out again. Ross is asleep and with her back to me she strokes his face. I long for her hands to be on me. Whilst he's out of it, I approach her from behind and wrap my arms around her. She relaxes her head back and sighs.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkA3MPeRwSb
"How did it go" she whispers. She means Olivia, and I need Taylor to get it into her head that Olivia is just a nurse, an employee. Not a potential girlfriend.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKatXJxVTt
"Not well, I'm sorry she made you upset" I say softly.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOs9HimIWBg
"It's just that they always hate me" she says in a small voice.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRsaLMcQQG
"Jealousy" I reply softly.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGUCyjjuq6
"Jealous or not I'm always the problem right" she says.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprB9V8O3Gu
"You're not a problem" I say defiantly.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvAYKJEQUl
She sighs and takes a seat. I head on over to the flatscreen and turn it on low, cursing Olivia under my breath for ruining my morning. Some stupid gardening programme comes on and I channel flick until I get to the movies.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpmmC3DOX4
Having located something to watch I take a seat next to her. It's most probably the fanciest hospital suite I've ever seen, I knew Ross' mum was well off but I didn't quite consider private suites at hospitals with flatscreens and sofas. That's altogether more of a Jay thing.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WVNZVf6Zo
When I consider my own social standing, really I don't fit in with my friends. Taylor and I are similar, having upbringings that didn't consist of private jets or flying choppers. Having multiple cars and in Jays case multiple boats and houses too.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBpY0VxNBx
Myself and Kim, my sister, were lucky to go away on holiday here in the states. Let alone fly abroad. I glance at Taylor, and she's watching me not the movie.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUhUgJC0eO
"What are you thinking" she says genuinely interested.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17EaAZqkkR
"I'm just thinking this is a fancy hospital room isn't it" I laugh. Keep it light Matthew, let's not make Taylor cry again.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dC3DWhsi4
"It's pretty fancy" she laughs back.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlC6PzEZHnd
"I never even went on holiday as a kid, like hotels were a big deal for me" I laugh.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtVSZxYDXo
"My mum used to take us to the beach and stuff but we never stayed" I say softly.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SJLFJgLJO
"Me too" she reflects.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QH6ttybe3
We sit quietly for a few seconds and she lightly brushes my arm with her fingertips.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zTghojER6
"I want to make something of my life" I say before I can stop myself. Whatever happened to not being too deep?
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvap2xQovuw
"Yeah" she says looking up at me through her lashes.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRK63tu2dv
"Yeah" I reply.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtclPvz636O
"My dad left. And I want to be there. You know? Like a nice little job, weekends away. That kind of thing" I say dreaming up cottages and lord knows what else with Taylor.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYVgWMv6Bv
"What would be your job" she asks playing along with me.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rhSR5Gw6L
"Me? I would be like working in a little art shop that sells artist stuff one that also has events and stuff. Or I dunno general labour, I can lift stuff, mend stuff, fix stuff" I laugh.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2FrgkoVBb
She chuckles and rests her head back.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0ghRhhrkk
"What would your house be like" she asks gazing over at me.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5OTAh4r3E
"Cottage. Rural near a forest" I smile. My idea of heaven.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKg4fB0GrZ
"Little white picket fence and all, two kids running around the yard." I say getting carried away and she smiles.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABkwLFnXNP
"You know, you're in all of my little dreams. I can't help it. When I think of them and the future, you appear" I say and she blushes.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchJPVpjMrF
"Two kids, house and one on the way" I smile brushing her hair back as the door opens. Rachel enters clearing her throat and I raise my hands in a gesture which says I'm not doing shit.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmPn0d2ny9
"How are we all this morning" Rachel says and Taylor looks over at her smiling.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPUOy3zsB4
"Great Ross has physio today" Taylor says sitting up.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6ux1RQ75b
"Ohh it looks like he's really ready for that" she laughs watching him sleep. Taylor laughs and I commit the sound to memory.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1L3PBkFQ3K
"Tay wanna go grab some food" Rachel says giving me the eye. The girl hates me, what can I say? I played her around for long enough. Women forgive but they do not forget.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEi74bykOJ
"Course, what would you like Matty" Taylor asks me smiling.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfv7wii6hr
"No don't worry about me" I say to her and she giggles.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgCoGbY01B
"Bacon sandwich?" She says looking at me.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyGlZ2yfdE
"Bacon sandwich it is then" I smile back wanting to kiss her before she leaves, but not being able too.
