Matty's POV
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtq8RE5eQwA
I've never really liked Joshua Morelli, he's just another guy from a rich family that plays baseball and runs track. I look at him now whilst I have Olivia on my arm. He's talking to Rachel enthusiastically about some rubbish and she's lapping it up. His eyes travel down her body and he brushes his hair back relaxing. This could be the an eventful evening after all.

"What was all of that about" Olivia asks me, and I groan internally. We've been here all of five minutes, just enough time for me to get us a drink each and she's just on one.

Taylor would not be fazed by me sharing a hit with Rachel, I think idly. Imagining her again in my mind's eye.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzChHk5W9s
"What babe ?" I say questioningly.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33mpPjuWHq
"Well basically kissing her in front of me" she returns and I sigh hoping I had received feeble, insecure Olivia instead. Instead she's feeling like an argument.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96o6G90R6O
"I did not kiss Rachel, please" I say offended.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfO1fGepsv
"Your lips touched." She explains picking out details.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SE7UkjSam
"To share the hit, would you like me to do that with you" I say feeling aggravated.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22Iy4ffMt1
"No I don't smoke weed" she tells me.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQ0nq1Ou8F
"Right so I shared it with her instead" I explain simply standing up with my brandy and guiding her over to Joshua.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTf6InJ8va0
I nod to him as I approach and he smiles at me, he's confident, from afar. The bass of the music pounding through me as I walk past the pool table, remembering Taylor and I playing pool together here and her winning.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4FUxk6HCS
"Matty nice to see you man" Joshua says and I clap him on the back returning his gesture.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7FWQvhs0v
"Where's Taylor" he asks and I pull Olivia in closer to me, just knowing that I'll be grilled on that later too.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxao9N15FCM
"Taylor is in Italy with her husband" I tell him and Rachel nods.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOv9KRcn56I
"Ah shit they're married now" Joshua laughs and I notice his straight white teeth. Really, he looks like me, brown hair although his is slightly lighter. Tan, olive skin and green eyes. He's wearing his football jersey which is open showing off his abs.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrjADwHPEH
"Married and expecting" Rachel laughs.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJp6iFewXs
"Fucking luck of some guys aye" he laughs and really there is just no filter on his commentary. He says what he thinks, with no hesitation. He gives me a look of consolation remembering that I was with Taylor, before Jay.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFL9qsToY6
"When is she due" he asks me and I smile graciously.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6XLvP3cn5
"I think she has about four weeks left" I say trying to do the dates in my mind.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqfram5SEU
"I'm guessing she's having the baby over there then, what with no flying and all that" he comments and I panic. He's right, Taylor, is most likely staying over there for the safe delivery of their child.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUMfvTS4iA
"Is that true about flying?" I ask Olivia, panicked and uncaring of her wounded expression over me discussing my ex.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBgwrz1gGE
"Yes" she says professionally. Talking about your ex, is a no when your new girlfriend is present, even if the other party brought up the subject first.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IYUJzDyy7
"Flying close to labour carries risks" she adds simply.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdIfefJOcI
"Nice to meet you I'm Josh" Joshua says cordially, looking from myself to Olivia. She smiles, and I introduce her as a friend. Again more grilling on that one later, I imagine. However we haven't had the conversation ourselves yet, so why would I introduce her as anything different.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3LTQqjlMp
"I'm a nurse" she replies coldly when he asks her what she does and he nods unable to relate.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjoc7rFFB7
"Is Taylor still dancing" he asks me his mind wandering. I curse under my breath, unable to escape Olivia's cold still stare.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlDDxYucMN
"You know I'm actually not sure, I doubt it what with being heavily pregnant" I say trying to end the conversation.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwB33BwV9nU
"Jay is a very lucky man" he laughs winking at us and hitting on a joint that has been passed to him by a random girl.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSw8BC23FIS
I smile and guide Olivia over to the sofas by the pool table. Walking past the double doors that back onto a terrace, the swimming pool just in sight.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6VprBTCaJ
I take a seat with my brandy and she goes to sit next to me.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1pqEnCidi
"Uh Olivia" I say pulling her onto my knee. She obliges wordlessly.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nrkCV65Tn
"You look wonderful" I say in her ear and she relaxes perceptibly. Rachel passes me the joint and goes to take a seat on the pool table, I sigh letting her do as she pleases. Her date is yet to arrive.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEugs9HtCxo
"Everybody knows everybody huh ?" she says and really she means; everybody knows Taylor, your ex.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3XKImhV5f
"Yes" I say simply taking a hit.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUJHCY5SSP
"Sure you don't want me too" I say kissing her neck softly.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlexJ6H5hZ8
I kiss down her chest and she smiles just slightly, my hands on her hips.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlxKQeEYYm
"Here" I say as I inhale again. I position my mouth on hers and to my surprise she doesn't back away. Breathing into her I wait for her to cough or something but she doesn't. I kiss her slowly afterwards my lips melting into hers. I deepen the kiss slowly, fully feeling the effects of both the wine and the weed. I pull her to face me, her legs over one side.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0L6fFZ4LU
"Mmm" I say softly.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jFJBwxK2Z
"Weeds good right" I whisper and she smirks slightly.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5iHwjLmkR
"Give me your lips again" I tell her softly, and she kisses me.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiDsfyqXjY
I deepen the kiss once more my hand, running up and down her thighs. Pulling away I eye her whilst inhaling again, my eyes watching hers intently as I place my lips over her again. She breathes in eyes closed and I decide that's most probably enough for now.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTMqsyWKDF
I make out with her nice and slowly on the leather sofa. Looking up briefly at Rachel who is still sitting on top of the pool table, flirting with a nameless guy.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOZxNQCpnJ
She catches my eye, looks over to the kitchen where Nate is stood with some girl we don't know. Shrugs her shoulders and mouths the words told you so. I smirk slightly making Olivia jump. Reassuring her again with my hands and mouth, we continue kissing.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxQHm5TDIM
"Mmm" I say softly; trying to make her relax around me.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJH2Y93ZKG
"Well well well" I hear a voice say just to my left. I recognise it instantly and open my eyes, pulling away instantly looking up at Jen.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZg4UErj56m
Her hair has changed, I mean it did every time I saw her. But this time she has black and green dreads. Her skin porcelain white, eyebrows pulled into an expression of permanent surprise. Olivia looks up at her, shocked.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmeoTwIruN
"See you finally moved on from Taylor then" she smirks ready to cause trouble. I glance up at Jen unbelieving that we ever had a sexual relationship, yet we did. She bated me and Ross when we first met Taylor egging us on to see who could get with her first. I played along, I won over Ross.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2BDE1lfse
However after almost six months of being around Taylor; one hundred percent of my time. I fell for her. Totally and utterly lost myself in the relationship, almost got her pregnant. And then Jen exposed me in front of her, to everybody including Jay.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwyI2UWPaE
"Taylor is married to Jay now" I say simply, the news shocks her. She loved Jay. He cut her out the second he set eyes on Taylor.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBHh35gs2s
"Married? Jay?" She says in disbelief.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUal9LEwNFx
"Yes married" I explain to her.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqauIAGvGBk
"To Taylor?" She says a dark expression over her face.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sHE7Tv5WY
"Yes, and they're expecting" I say really rubbing it in.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAe50roqhSN
"Jay is going to be a dad" she laughs, slight contempt underlying her tone. Jealousy, I'm guessing.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0x44m4QXym
"He sure is, he's changed a whole lot actually" I say and then I discard the conversation, not talking about Taylor is proving hard.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKlVXx1y15
"Right and who is this then" she says eyeing
Olivia with disdain.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqmQehuXjl
"Olivia, Jen." I introduce them. Fuck off now I think to myself.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusP3ofoD1K
"Oh hey" Rachel says, popping up behind her. Rachel is saving me from the women in my life a whole lot tonight. She sways slightly and Jen looks at her annoyed. They used to be friends; until Rachel stood up for Taylor from Jen’s bullying and ridicule.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQSaoTdWZC
I look out into the living room and by the open fire there’s Christopher looking around presumably for Rachel. He’s wearing a shirt, and jeans both unbranded and I instantly like this guy. I look at Rachel and flick my eyes over to him. She squeals and then covers her drunken mouth smirking.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWzgx04usf
“Be cool Rachel” she says to herself out loud and I cringe. Rachel deserves happiness more than any of us and I hope that she manages to make it work.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9FyIoM8jD
"We were thinking as Matty wants an old school party that truth or dare is only the right thing to do" she smirks looking back at me. I nod to her and smile encouragingly.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuMeHbu2xq
Jen eyes me curiously, and then Olivia in turn. She's interested in our relationship and that can only mean one thing, trouble.
