Matty's POV
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSOxe3mgBJ
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.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32E5r2ucBJ
Taylor would not be fazed by me sharing a hit with Rachel, I think idly. Imagining her again in my mind's eye.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nGlVZNAm9
"What babe ?" I say questioningly.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡom7knYFG2F
"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.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp68sCKh4A1
"I did not kiss Rachel, please" I say offended.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoK05GfwJYr
"Your lips touched." She explains picking out details.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dFHcUDKyr
"To share the hit, would you like me to do that with you" I say feeling aggravated.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1U4qooO8L7
"No I don't smoke weed" she tells me.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXN4dP2Rfjh
"Right so I shared it with her instead" I explain simply standing up with my brandy and guiding her over to Joshua.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfucBsR8cM
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.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGuJEJttqB
"Matty nice to see you man" Joshua says and I clap him on the back returning his gesture.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNv0BI9KzwM
"Where's Taylor" he asks and I pull Olivia in closer to me, just knowing that I'll be grilled on that later too.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpmfczY970
"Taylor is in Italy with her husband" I tell him and Rachel nods.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TZOGs4PAh
"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.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYR0lLjuoK
"Married and expecting" Rachel laughs.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUQktgISlq
"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.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHitAcTmkJj
"When is she due" he asks me and I smile graciously.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9t7GZ3B6v
"I think she has about four weeks left" I say trying to do the dates in my mind.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQEyu53Olo
"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.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGT4sqdwRxi
"Is that true about flying?" I ask Olivia, panicked and uncaring of her wounded expression over me discussing my ex.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDm0TERTeBV
"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.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8W1KUOEER
"Flying close to labour carries risks" she adds simply.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iq61CFgxz
"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.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xJvxJID64
"I'm a nurse" she replies coldly when he asks her what she does and he nods unable to relate.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY42CSy1VGi
"Is Taylor still dancing" he asks me his mind wandering. I curse under my breath, unable to escape Olivia's cold still stare.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pxgwojsDc
"You know I'm actually not sure, I doubt it what with being heavily pregnant" I say trying to end the conversation.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEnecmGDFg
"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.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtw18iH920G
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.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKkHQfKmc3
I take a seat with my brandy and she goes to sit next to me.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IrkyXiNec
"Uh Olivia" I say pulling her onto my knee. She obliges wordlessly.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBKbnBcGIM
"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.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4nW4waYkX
"Everybody knows everybody huh ?" she says and really she means; everybody knows Taylor, your ex.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlXCuPLovP
"Yes" I say simply taking a hit.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Bgmf2KpAO
"Sure you don't want me too" I say kissing her neck softly.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThmWZ3YhPG
I kiss down her chest and she smiles just slightly, my hands on her hips.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlXOn9xzX1
"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.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCzW0YsHoJ
"Mmm" I say softly.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXObH1eTEb
"Weeds good right" I whisper and she smirks slightly.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgy2jhEhXJC
"Give me your lips again" I tell her softly, and she kisses me.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVS0MP72tm
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.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6ZfaABy4C
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.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKfU7OjO2F
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.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSFdxOUXL4
"Mmm" I say softly; trying to make her relax around me.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4SWascXL8
"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.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdAidx35i4
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.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUAPR5ayJF
"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.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgF1qU4cv7z
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.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8qC69CwgY
"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.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlNAgFouJi
"Married? Jay?" She says in disbelief.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZhExAIPVs
"Yes married" I explain to her.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNm2byvzDVI
"To Taylor?" She says a dark expression over her face.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT08TxDIiRQ
"Yes, and they're expecting" I say really rubbing it in.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oTogFKxkM
"Jay is going to be a dad" she laughs, slight contempt underlying her tone. Jealousy, I'm guessing.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJHiFnZ2Tq
"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.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6eqtKlXwZ
"Right and who is this then" she says eyeing
Olivia with disdain.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6Grzwj47Q
"Olivia, Jen." I introduce them. Fuck off now I think to myself.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpE1VoastH
"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.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9gLtGyGM6
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.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBiu4GPT8Q
“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.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaByLqY2f9r
"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.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVK1oUVU8p8
Jen eyes me curiously, and then Olivia in turn. She's interested in our relationship and that can only mean one thing, trouble.
