Matty's POV
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL67m33LWFY
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPBONKGmZy
Taylor would not be fazed by me sharing a hit with Rachel, I think idly. Imagining her again in my mind's eye.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ATtDoTphP
"What babe ?" I say questioningly.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTy1kjMELD
"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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTWvHFinuC
"I did not kiss Rachel, please" I say offended.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4k3zlgmE5
"Your lips touched." She explains picking out details.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEffNkLmtuv
"To share the hit, would you like me to do that with you" I say feeling aggravated.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5IBnyf0rj
"No I don't smoke weed" she tells me.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0H52mMSgzI
"Right so I shared it with her instead" I explain simply standing up with my brandy and guiding her over to Joshua.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrB00LMjXd
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWGf84QQ3W
"Matty nice to see you man" Joshua says and I clap him on the back returning his gesture.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTAaA0uEpE
"Where's Taylor" he asks and I pull Olivia in closer to me, just knowing that I'll be grilled on that later too.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1yEkjJXTt
"Taylor is in Italy with her husband" I tell him and Rachel nods.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBW3xXN6bgV
"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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoA5g6Oek7
"Married and expecting" Rachel laughs.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyRnPulGmN
"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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAkhaYKNgI
"When is she due" he asks me and I smile graciously.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cGeJG1vKk
"I think she has about four weeks left" I say trying to do the dates in my mind.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35rIWLNfQD
"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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡav3ffr3rec
"Is that true about flying?" I ask Olivia, panicked and uncaring of her wounded expression over me discussing my ex.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZ88EU6STo
"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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9ofTcwBwV
"Flying close to labour carries risks" she adds simply.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViR0vRmFMr
"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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitwP3tWhMz
"I'm a nurse" she replies coldly when he asks her what she does and he nods unable to relate.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYjLYIXAZq
"Is Taylor still dancing" he asks me his mind wandering. I curse under my breath, unable to escape Olivia's cold still stare.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2qEhdP7Em
"You know I'm actually not sure, I doubt it what with being heavily pregnant" I say trying to end the conversation.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87zPsEsryc
"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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9eGPXFLDV
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvI2niFbUi
I take a seat with my brandy and she goes to sit next to me.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAacCANObn3
"Uh Olivia" I say pulling her onto my knee. She obliges wordlessly.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsibmr7eZP
"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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fK8dbunWB
"Everybody knows everybody huh ?" she says and really she means; everybody knows Taylor, your ex.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDM0BhhqZbS
"Yes" I say simply taking a hit.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKegZpO3BT
"Sure you don't want me too" I say kissing her neck softly.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirdbodUUn6
I kiss down her chest and she smiles just slightly, my hands on her hips.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bpxw7yVaw
"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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7usdz8VWq
"Mmm" I say softly.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBHtInIACZ
"Weeds good right" I whisper and she smirks slightly.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnRZhYbH3g
"Give me your lips again" I tell her softly, and she kisses me.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjPbZ469Ly
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIaotKanb8
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkXOrfOydJ
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlUYL5SEgy
"Mmm" I say softly; trying to make her relax around me.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZt9pjl9knA
"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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAVbTzmZCD
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyWHC19xg5
"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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP43pmlqhs4
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFc7gkGdoYP
"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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvmCg3UTs0
"Married? Jay?" She says in disbelief.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaQBAtgPJc
"Yes married" I explain to her.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCt8UKb3x73
"To Taylor?" She says a dark expression over her face.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpOVtnPmZi
"Yes, and they're expecting" I say really rubbing it in.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡol5owZBqvu
"Jay is going to be a dad" she laughs, slight contempt underlying her tone. Jealousy, I'm guessing.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYL2KeTy42
"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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiCV6Cv0d0
"Right and who is this then" she says eyeing
Olivia with disdain.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnRWeOEznZ
"Olivia, Jen." I introduce them. Fuck off now I think to myself.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Nj0Hwygxc
"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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUF1xJhoXO
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eUyNzvCfN
“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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3347c1Xa1y
"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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IlQQWyL78
Jen eyes me curiously, and then Olivia in turn. She's interested in our relationship and that can only mean one thing, trouble.
