I bought the dress in hot pink, I'm planning on wearing it tonight. I'm driving, Ross is lounging back in the passenger seat. He bought a book and he's reading it and I can't help but to glance at him from time to time.

I park up at the house, noticing that Jays ranger is here. I feel a massive pang of guilt deep in my gut. I turn the car off and hop out. Grabbing the bags from the boot and heading up to the door. The sun has set and the heat has eased off.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAtnNDDcEvBZ
I walk into the kitchen to Matty and Jay, shirtless cooking lasagne. I can't help myself but to chuckle. They might as well be sharing a bottle of red.
14Please respect copyright.PENANATWLPp33emg
"My wife" Jay says still looking at the pan of meat he's frying up. They have been drinking whiskey not wine.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAVPEhXdeguK
Matty eyes me, smiling. He's chopping up basil. I'm impressed.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAILZkrKVLqw
"Jay" I say wrapping my arms around him from behind. The conundrum is whether I tell him about Ross, it's the morally right thing to do. It's important that he knows but I don't want him to hit Ross. And moreover it will not be happening again. We will be married and that will be that.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAzp1pCGrEZ0
He turns to face me putting his wooden spoon down. Kissing me and running his hands through my hair.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAwSCufp2rBi
"Mmm" he says.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAcSx4F7XMSV
"Mmm indeed" I reply softly.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAUBCnK71iao
"Ugh I want a glass of wine" I whine and he smiles.
14Please respect copyright.PENANA78octttQOA
"This is the first time I've like missed wine" I say.
14Please respect copyright.PENANABZqTLpVAfs
"Ahhh baby" he says softly kissing my forehead. He moves his hands over my waist, holding onto Caleb and smiling.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAEyoRWAC5Ii
"I love you, that smells amazing" I smile.
14Please respect copyright.PENANABFNbVaLFpE
"I love you" he chuckles.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAeHL3yVn0Lo
"How was your car" he smiles.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAWXaKsfW6FF
"It was amazing" I smile up at him and he squeezes my bum inconspicuously.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAc94DaSIDgW
"We bought loads" Rachel comes in sunglasses on her head. Her tan looks darker and I can't help it but I cringe slightly. Lord it's still developing, how deep will it get in the next couple hours.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAIi2j3wmY4A
"Jesus Christ" Jay says looking at her.
14Please respect copyright.PENANA9REwwuzb2K
"Rachel you're very ugh dark" Matty says and she swats him.
14Please respect copyright.PENANA8OEUtGQ0YH
"What colour did you go for" I ask, I will not laugh. I love her.
14Please respect copyright.PENANApSxZdc3F34
"I went for dark" she says.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAD35NitRknZ
"The lady went on about some crap about being pale but I wanna see it" she says.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAXsBG5BLPEP
"I only go for medium silly" I say.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAqaRb9uAeNF
"Why didn't you tell me" she laughs.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAjAD0gylWo2
"You know it's gonna get darker" I say. She freaks looking in the hall mirror.
14Please respect copyright.PENANA12Wuq1wEFK
"Oompa Loompa" she laughs.
14Please respect copyright.PENANADcWYJBemv3
"Fuck" she says.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAQ1XMxt3UW2
I pull my phone out.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAMhEnK3ipni
"Look best bet, put on some oil and then have a long bath" I say looking online for advice.
14Please respect copyright.PENANA31Z7PBlQr9
She hurries upstairs, Nate takes a seat, pouring some whiskey.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAZovjvibioJ
"I'm gonna let her deal before I go up" he laughs and I chuckle.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAuZWq1YNYzt
"I'll go help" I laugh. Jay pulls me back lightly. I smile and kiss him.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAqsb7n5IPkv
"Don't be gone too long" he says softly.
14Please respect copyright.PENANA5pSSSIOMgn
"I'll be back before you know it" I smile.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAtG58T6PmwD
I catch Ross' eye as I walk out. He's pulled his shirt off, and I try my best not to look at him too closely.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAFSWYvDBZrY
I head upstairs and knock before I go in.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAyEBgf0ZQx9
"Yep" she says softly. Rachel is never soft.
14Please respect copyright.PENANA1Ns5RJQSB3
"Can I come in" I ask.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAHckV0RtI0t
"Sure" she says.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAn76vxjjeiU
I step in and she's sobbing and I feel awful.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAYcdsi45xt1
"You're good at this and everything and I'm rubbish I get things wrong all the time" she sighs.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAnMVHnAb0YY
"Don't be silly" I say, placing my arm around her shoulder.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAbYeYkS3aUu
"Ross can't even look at me." She says.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAVGmTIdN1ep
"Because he's Ross. He doesn't do casual sex" I say.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAczJOgIhGnQ
"Yeah but I don't want to ruin our friendship" she says.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAobYi5ggDTq
"You haven't, he's just being Ross" I say.
14Please respect copyright.PENANA6kxME1t6Xk
"Now let's sort out this tan" I say pacing into the en-suite and grabbing some coconut oil.
14Please respect copyright.PENANALfSp95VQ4W
"Go put it on" I say.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAu59iUimLae
"Then get in the bath" I explain.
14Please respect copyright.PENANALY93n5TGKB
"I'll be just next door, I'm not about to join the whiskey men's club down stairs" I laugh.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAQ5QrH0UKVg
"You're the best" she says wiping her eyes as she stands and heads to the bath.
14Please respect copyright.PENANA2EKSzX3Vjh
I smile and place my head in my hands sitting on the bed. As soon as I hear the water running I head into mine and Jay's room. I hang my dress up and place my new hot pink dress on the bed ready to change into.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAg2EA1N4DsI
I head into my own en-suite and shower. Washing away all of the heat and stickiness of the day. When I climb out I take my own advice and oil my skin and hair. If I can't drink tonight I'm going to dance. And that means doing my hair, putting on lashes and my new dress. Oh and my new heels.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAPkt40BlG1P
I dry my hair and put on some makeup. I dress in hot pink lace lingerie. Jay will go wild. And I slide into my dress. As I'm fastening my heels I hear a knock at the door.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAKCC0i9RfdB
"Yep" I say.
14Please respect copyright.PENANA9RWrT6mAUG
"Hey snap" Rachel says. Of course we're both wearing the dress.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAhDRdnVT4Il
"See the tan looks much much better" I compliment her.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAgZEmQgBoVY
"Thanks Tay" she says.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAkIBoMYBbDB
"For everything" she smiles.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAxTSiusmNIt
"Now let's go and eat Jay and Matty's creation" I laugh.
14Please respect copyright.PENANApmqYNU6T7C
"Are you worried?" She laughs.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAAN5TFCq7Ls
"Oh it will be edible" I say.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAfoTN293WJ4
I follow her out and downstairs.
14Please respect copyright.PENANA8cMuhAhxmV
"You look beautiful Rachel" Nate says and I smile at him. That's just the confidence boost she needed.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAXn1ELIwnG9
"You have the same dress" Nate laughs.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAaDpkF4UZhq
I look over at Jay lounging by the counter with his whiskey. His eyes travel over my legs in the heels and up to my lips. He crosses the room, and kisses me softly on the lips he was just staring at. He's so assertive and dynamic. His shirt is still off and I can feel his smooth skin under my hands.
14Please respect copyright.PENANA9Ip0Mv2bMZ
"Bad that I wanna take it off?" He whispers in my ear.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAYJez31hoJo
"My lingerie matches" I say teasing him.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAayOZZiFbkC
"Oh Taylor" he sighs. And I want to tell him to take me right here right now.
14Please respect copyright.PENANABQkLDGAosD
"That's just mean" he smirks.
14Please respect copyright.PENANA10ebHX0zjm
"How's the food" I ask him. And he looks at me as if he's just remembered that he's cooking. I smile.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAgdGhPGIsw2
I walk over to the cooker and he smiles. It smells divine. He pulls out the lasagne and actually it looks perfect.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAKNfFqRqPFp
"I made you something" he smiles.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAssF0qLoO88
"It's a mocktail" he smiles.
14Please respect copyright.PENANA9Spo6cBqu1
"An alcohol free sangria" he says pulling out a cocktail jug.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAEwTXaNCJTS
I wipe my eyes and Rachel scoffs.
14Please respect copyright.PENANADc2HK4Xu9p
"Hormonal Taylor is back people" she laughs.
14Please respect copyright.PENANA3W4auiXmAK
"You just wait until the day comes when you can't drink for nine months" I laugh. I taste Jay's mocktail and actually it's great. Refreshing.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAksOxaUg2Ec
"Thank you" I whisper to him and he kisses me.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAF8MLZnn0Rw
"Now sit and relax, I've got this" he says.
14Please respect copyright.PENANA0FsU02TKPC
"I even made a salad" he smiles. I kiss him passionately.
14Please respect copyright.PENANA92avZX8CXN
"Mmm" he sighs.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAgE34mYx9M4
"Don't distract me" he smiles.
14Please respect copyright.PENANANBrr49u5Ei
"Okay, I love you so much" I say and I think I'm about to cry again. I wipe my eyes and he caresses Caleb in my tummy smiling.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAEAerv06sA7
"I love you both" he says, and I know everybody is listening in on us. He rubs my tummy and I want him. I kiss him again softly.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAmUJff1zbWf
"Taylor, you're not being fair" he smiles moving me over to the pan and beginning to plate up with me wrapped around his waist.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAz7xeIhYDXt
"I'll put the plates out" I say as he's finishing up.
14Please respect copyright.PENANA9vYFwnc00S
I place them one by one at the table along with the bowl of salad.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAP1OCAuKULr
"I'm done with being distant because people are around" I whisper in his ear and he chuckles.
14Please respect copyright.PENANA6jTS40bfCx
He sits down and I sit on his lap at the table. I need him.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAQHguqfbv39
"Have you missed each other or something" Rachel laughs.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAjlkRSFoud9
"Hugely" he replies eating some Lasagne.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAYAZCXsMbGO
I sit in his lap feeling his arms around my waist. Focusing on our life and our unborn child. I fork up some lasagne myself and eat. Sip some of my mocktail sangria and face him. He feeds me a forkful and I swallow.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAvZ003f65G3
"Jay" Rach says.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAD4HIPJtedd
"Were you always this person or do you think Taylor made you different" she asks and I get what she means. The Jay she fell for would never show any girl this kind of treatment.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAqEAIBvSnu7
"That's a really good question" he laughs.
14Please respect copyright.PENANA12NXy03jkO
"Hands down Jay you've always been like this" Matty laughs.
14Please respect copyright.PENANARDsDAqF4kf
I smile at him and Jay feeds me another piece of lasagne. I dare not look at Ross.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAUsZ1P7kcwo
"Let's just say Taylor made me reconnect with a part of myself I thought I'd gotten rid of" he laughs.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAQySOAS8zWA
"What the human part" Rachel laughs.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAQeGwZ7OWao
"Actually you're not wrong there" he says and I stroke his hair back.
"The part of me that trusts other people and cares for them. The part of me that shows people I love them and that I need them. The part that wants to make someone feel special" he says and I rub his arm.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAiIpkJ3QgER
"Because obviously" she looks at Nate briefly. He nods aware that they dated. I feed him lasagne and then look down at my plate.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAMUWQRBIIzI
"I mean you didn't even own a spatula and now you're cooking lasagne." She smiles.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAb0QcWSjZla
"I owned a spatula I just didn't use it" he laughs.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAGvEcEgxWyG
I kiss him and he downs his whiskey; stroking my thigh.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAkCYsCPNSTH
“I’m sorry Rachel you are right though I’ve changed since then. And I am sorry for being such a dick with you” he says and it’s genuine.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAjuZCuKq2nN
He tops up his whiskey.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAsTj5C4u6sW
“No apologies needed” she smiles.
