Taylor's POV
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonWBYphXK2
"Here have a pancake" I say to Jay, we're standing in the kitchen. I draped his button up shirt on this morning and he is shirtless just wearing shorts. The sun blazing through the terrace sending pools of light into the kitchen.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9AucEWQY6
"Drinking is all good until the next day huh" he says softly and I smile at him, kiss his lips.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYip1jmHYNO
"You also got head-butted in the face" I say turning and checking his forehead.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMz9ogZREs
"But you will survive" I smile at him and kiss him.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHXRwB17nN
His hands run up my bare thighs as I turn around and pour more batter in the pan. It's Jay's playlist this morning, and we're listening to Johnny cash. He occasionally hums the melodies in my ear and it's making me chuckle. He's not shaved his face fuzz in days, and personally I love it. Even if it tickles me whenever he whispers in my ear.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDl7CkCGFoX
"These are great" he says eating a mouthful of the one I just cooked, his hands on bump.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkL15yTUik
"How can I help" he asks softly.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRx5Yz2rH4H
"Place the strawberries and fruit on the table, and the syrup." I tell him kissing him as he distracts me holding me from behind.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtek22aOFQ
"Mmm" he says softly before kissing me again.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wKECSjKuT
"How are we ever going to get all of this done, when you stand there just in my white shirt" he says softly.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡak2lMLp1h5
The door creaks and I gaze up to see Matthew standing a look of apprehension on his face.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0HOv4YbXL
"I just came down early to apologise" he says hands up in the air. Jay looks up and holds me even closer.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUrqOj5xLt
"Morning Matthew" he says as we turn to face him.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjgibmfBqz
"Darling, I won't hit him again don't worry" he jokes when I look up at him concerned.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iqRtyfr9X
"I'm sorry Taylor for last night, for causing problems and for demanding stuff from you" he says softly and he looks up at me, his green eyes soft and full of concern.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJR4h3nxI22
"Genuinely I'm very sorry for that" he says softly regret on his face.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPc7F9JdBa
"I'm sorry, Jay" he begins and I hold my breath.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4OqRYbEb5
"You're my friend and it was out of order" he says respectfully.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJeqOILqzV
"Sorry about your face man" Jay chuckles and all is forgiven for now.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMC8hdarvdj
"Sorry about head butting you" he laughs back.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIxD2waGPm
"Hey it's not that big of a mark" I say looking at Matty's jaw.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdQRUtGREL
"It's yeah, well all done now" he laughs and I smile at him.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Tbq2b5vMr
"Pancake?" I say handing him the one I've just made on a plate.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtg5r3Mgxdf
He takes it and I pour more batter into the pan intent on making a few for everybody.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbh61KSw4EM
"Can I just say man" Matthew says and they walk over to the table.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYs2Oo8MkZ
"You've got one hell of a right hook" he laughs and Jay chuckles.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BHcLrKFYQ
"Yeah and don't forget it" Jay laughs.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvr8wTENqX
"What's with this new defence of just slamming your big forehead into mine" he laughs and Matthew scoffs.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2AAMeRtxf
Just like two young boys sitting at the table together after a spat the night before, they talk to each other and eat the pancakes I'm making. I switch the song over to something more upbeat, Jay protests but I get away with it. After all I'm the one making all of the breakfast. I sing along to Maggie Roger's and fry up some bacon in the pan.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRUp7Yzcvk
"Oh yes that's just what I need" Ross says walking into the kitchen, still a slight limp to his gait.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifsDc0RxkS
"Bacon and pancakes" I smile at him and he takes one.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxfrMO6eE7
"Good morning" he says and I notice that Olivia follows in after him.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVe4BBDLsog
"Morning" I say softly as they all sit down at the table together.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJwquXgkEC
"Any idea where the other two are" I say bringing over a plate of pancakes and a separate one with bacon.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjdhCRYeoM
"I fried it all separately" I tell Olivia and she smiles thanking me.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPgNZNLCNE
I take a seat in between Jay and Matty, Ross opposite us with Olivia. I notice how she occasionally looks up at him, he's tall and broad and she's practically petite.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwY61zS3sX0
"Well what was all the noise last night" Rachel comes in making an entrance with Chris.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcasdq2zLKi
"Oh you know the usual" Jay laughs and I smirk at him.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxOtZc0Eqj
"Oh stop it" I say laughing, I glance at Matthew and he looks at me with a wry smile.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6MxxyMC1l
"Say no more" Rachel sighs assessing the social politics of the table, she glances at Olivia with Ross and her eyebrows lift slightly as she looks at me. I shrug imperceptibly.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0z0gF0Cy4
"Matthew" she says and he looks up with his slightly red jaw.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDS2DTIGV4E
"Eeeeesh can you pass us the pancakes" she says eyeing his bruise which is still blossoming.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CIEoZM0K8
"Sure" he says simply as he passes them down.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPENYRpz5Z
"Whatever are we going to do without the hospital visits" Rachel says sighing and I laugh out loud.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqj8xnbwtob
"Well I still have to go" Olivia laughs and it's nice to see her smiling.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhQ8fKHe8g
"Me too" Chris says looking up at Rachel tucking into a pancake.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVhMC1QaGj
"I'll still have physio, if you must you can come with me to that" Ross laughs and Olivia watches him spellbound.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKrWsc8L73
"I'll be in hospital soon too" I say indicating bump.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIErYbqLml
"Okay guys" Rachel laughs sarcastically.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZ8aKS5nXK
"Point taken, and it was more of a passing comment" she sighs and I laugh.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyFzIdCRHN
We all eat quietly. Matthew eyes Olivia awkwardly and I decide not to think about that fact that he said all of that in front of her last night. Drunk or not it was heartless.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiae9fsAHq
"Hey Taylor, ugh have you got any more of that lemon cake" Ross laughs finishing his last pancake.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0E38ZTmzOj
"Sure" I laugh at him. Olivia smiles and glances up at him again.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFTAEabnlD
"Lord with you staying here Ross we're going to come back and you'll be the size of a house" Rachel sighs.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17wlWLhVbh
"He won't he'll just be even more cuddly" I say heading over to the cake tin.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKB9NfQ4SWp
"No once I get better I'll be back in the gym" he says optimistically.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPFq68JqUb
"Trust me Taylor can cook and bake the best food, you'll forget all about the gym" Jay smiles as I stand next to him and place the cake down.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9qy6j8ymZ
"Look how cuddly I've made Jay" I laugh and he chuckles.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvQoC26nEI
"I'm kidding babe you're still ripped" I smile down at him and he smirks.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Z58BPYtwn
"God around a month into living with her I was like fuck I need to workout" Jay laughs.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wpXKF2Amr
"I think you guys do enough of that in your spare time" Rach laughs indicating the baby bump.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjOFepn0Ii
"Sex is a very good workout" I say stroking his toned chest.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQYr794UmU
"Sex was a great workout for me too, until I got pregnant and it just made me larger and larger" I say laughing.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmnKbWcuGc
"You're pregnant that's different" Rachel smiles, she glances at Christopher just momentarily and he smiles back at her.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Iyg54yQoI
Once we've all finished breakfast, Jay begins tidying up and Matthew joins him. I give Rachel a look and we leave them to it figuring that they need to talk a few things through.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bpGMZCik1
Rachel and Christopher leave together first, after a lot of hugs and goodbyes. She explains she's going baby shopping and dragging him along. He laughs saying it's not a problem, and that he'll help her to find a perfect baby shower present for me and Jay.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6Csm0TB4j
I get Ross settled onto the sofa with Olivia and we make sure he's had his meds. I turn the flatscreen on low so that they can just sit and watch that if they so choose. I brought the lemon cake with me and I sit down next to Ross with a slice for myself.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSHLFtGjZA
"Olivia I would like to say sorry on behalf of Matthews behaviour, obviously it's my fault, it usually is and I'm sorry about that" I explain and she looks at me surprised.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWjGcIcKJ0
"Taylor it's not you" Ross says to me and I smile at him.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcFovTJ3cD
"No he's right Taylor, I get it. You guys have history. And actually I appreciate you mentioning it and saying sorry to me. But you don't need too" she says maturely and I smile at her. She tucks her legs in under her and appraises Ross again.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpP638EjLY
"Honestly I am, Matthew is a really good guy if you discount his behaviour from last night" I say to her and Ross scoffs.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4C3o6YWCO5
"Matthew acts like he's God's gift to women and expects you to thank him for it" Ross corrects me laughing.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBv8LsfWsMi
"This one" I say to Olivia, catching her looking at him again.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOUi3eF4Yz
"Is Gods's gift to women" I say smirking and she hides her smile.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRq4lT5fb8e
"Taylor you'll make me blush" he laughs eating his lemon cake. She chuckles and I sit back holding onto bump.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLVhgK7D35
"Are you comfortable" Ross asks moving over wincing slightly.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Zpey2N3nI
"Told you" I say over to Olivia and she laughs.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4VFtRAt13
"I'm fine Ross honestly just huge and pregnant" I say sighing.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeaS6zUFLN
"I want this baby out of me" I sigh and he laughs watching the flatscreen.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMGsVw4Abz
I smile up at him and he laughs placing his hands on bump lightly.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NXfjTlLqc
"We all cannot wait to meet mini Jay can we?" He looks over to Olivia and she practically swoons.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjegdXiyo2
"Mini Jay has a ring to it for a name" Matthew says coming into the living room and standing in front of Olivia. She looks up at him and stands. She's cautious around him, unsure of what Matty she's going to have to deal with. That's not something I ever experienced with him whilst we were dating, he was always so consistent, reliable and loyal.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQlB2X4Ky4
"Taylor" Matthew says softly and I look up at him.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUpCpN3GGI
"I'm sorry for everything" he says and it's brave, doing this in front of everybody. He pushes his brunette locks back, I notice my eternity ring is still on his finger before I look back into his eyes.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXUn3ZrHb9
"Genuinely" he says softly and he stares at me. Perhaps he's worried I'll never forgive him, but that's the entire problem isn't it ? He should be more worried about Olivia and her forgiveness.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpGidCI0oo
I smile up at him, pull myself to standing. Ross following suit and standing just behind me. I hug Matthew, my hands around his shoulders. I feel him breathe in and out at my closeness and I let him go.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgH3xetPmnO
I hug Olivia as we say our goodbyes, feeling like I know her so much more than I did yesterday. She smiles and thanks me and Jay in turn for our hospitality. Jay stands back smiling and I wonder what they spoke about in the kitchen. I remind Olivia about the baby shower and she promises to be there.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7FJaj7PVX
Once they've left I turn to the two blondes and smirk.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1xjcSh0fC
"Right, what would you both like for dinner tonight" I say laughing and they both roll their eyes. I could totally keep two men happy, I think to myself. That's a silly joke, I would never ever dream of anybody apart from my Jay.
