Jacob pic ***
Taylor's POV
22Please respect copyright.PENANAZwDfzgQVeA
Jacob eyes me the second I walk out into our large patio. The sun is beating down now and Jay is putting the parasol up. Rachel is lounging next to Jacob her legs draped over him.
22Please respect copyright.PENANALsrTSRiLsn
"Lemon cake is for after" I smile, looking at Ross.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAzFG4pfZPOy
"That looks" he begins.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAYgMNL1Zroj
"Incredible, I want cake now" he laughs.
22Please respect copyright.PENANALCOLdhMsrK
I smile and head over to Jay helping him to plate up all of the meat. I've placed the salads on the table already. Rachel is picking at the fries.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAwnlaALcPfP
"I got this, take a seat" he whispers kissing me and rubbing my back. I smile and take a seat next to Matty. I can't explain it, he still makes me feel safe.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAqA5cuXfIB1
I think I had a very mild panic attack earlier, and I feel embarrassed by it. Matty eyes me, and I smile at him. It's a thank you, for helping me to stop crying. For rationalising everything and making me feel secure.
22Please respect copyright.PENANA6i3jooXUFZ
Jay sits at the head of the table. I smirk at him and he chuckles handing me a burger. He looks good at the head of the table. It suits him.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAZgcASKiBml
"Congratulations" Jacob says to Jay more than me. And it's an odd moment.
22Please respect copyright.PENANA3x1SUyZ1ns
"Thanks Jacob" Jay replies.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAcHEoGGWn3o
"How are you feeling Tay" he says to me, and he means generally in pregnancy.
22Please respect copyright.PENANA8HtE7LSceL
"I'm feeling great actually" I say tucking into my food.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAaS0qESHWJO
"I had no idea" he says.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAPRzdiicMsa
"Yes we wanted to keep it that way until we were sure everything was okay" I mutter.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAUnST1gRtrX
"It will be fine" Matty says and Jay eyes him.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAFbbsjTg6kp
"How far along are you" Jacob asks casually.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAYxxqfDiXHK
"We're just over twelve weeks" I say softly.
22Please respect copyright.PENANASAYoO93DNa
"Wow" he replies. Rachel is unaware of the tension. Ross is watching me.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAlDLGYZEL5f
Thankfully he's quiet for the rest of the meal and we leave it at that. Jay, I have decided has a way with BBQ's and the food tastes amazing. After everybody has stuffed themselves with food, I cut the cake into slices.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAqncqsRiv2j
"It should be pretty lemony so if you hate lemon don't have any" I laugh.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAPVbMqg6lyY
I take a piece for Jay and go and sit on his lap. He chuckles his hand resting on my hips. I feed him the cake and he smiles at me.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAboleVgBFS3
"It's amazing Taylor" he whispers.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAHWcGegkGeg
"Good" I smile looking at him.
22Please respect copyright.PENANALMW2ELwLUs
I remain in his lap watching everybody else drink and laugh with each other, after a few hours the sun begins to set. The automatic lights come on and I snuggle into Jay's chest. Rach is on Jacob and I watch him for a bit. He's talking to Ross about something obnoxious and pretentious. I can tell because Ross is trying to be nice, as always.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAghET5n4krO
"I can't believe we have to go to uni tomorrow" Rachel sighs.
22Please respect copyright.PENANABj7eKY39ey
"Yeah and we've got practice" Jacob says.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAV9CFoGfQFh
"We sure have" I say, dryly.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAHaXR3VcnJ0
"Oh can I come and watch" Rachel says clapping her hands. Nate is out of the picture, I'm guessing.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAgb2lRyqL0F
I couldn't think of a better idea. It will stop Jacob from asking me questions.
22Please respect copyright.PENANArKQqfB4zzH
"Of course" I smile widely.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAlR2mB1tbKc
"Would be nice for somebody to watch, maybe you can tell us what looks good" I say, I am all for this idea.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAHRSjBfEDn4
"Yes" Rachel smiles back at me.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAFiwrQsOtpH
I turn to look at Jay sure that he will be wearing his normal smile. Instead seeing a confused expression on his face. One which alarms me. My heart pounds again, it's another episode I'm sure of it.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAWt6acXGRbw
"Jay" I say softly.
22Please respect copyright.PENANA8cS6dNDWQr
He looks at me, still confused.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAGXgKqFudqT
"Are you okay" I say and everybody has gone silent.
22Please respect copyright.PENANA4psELd0VDL
"What's up" Rachel says but I block her out.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAE0ndAgfHfw
I stroke his arm. It hasn't been long since the bottle to the head incident. But this is the second time he'a experienced a mental block like this. I stroke his face.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAztMAjSJurT
"We ugh" he says softly.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAYmcH44tfsv
And then it’s as if he snaps out of it.
22Please respect copyright.PENANA8ffVBCL7ja
"It happened again" I say to him, concern on my face.
22Please respect copyright.PENANA7X5dzRnvbq
"No Taylor" he says softly. He is looking at me begging me not to make a deal out of this.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAFaTAxZ7Axm
"Dude what's up" Ross says concerned.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAZgqr09QxDp
Jay sighs slightly.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAqBX4h2j36T
"Nothing is up; I'm just recovering still from the bottle injury and sometimes" he says and he's denying the seriousness of this.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAopcloclmHt
"Jay we have to get this seen too" I tell him. My hormones rage and I am stubborn pregnant Taylor.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAbOBszJcOa8
"Taylor Gilbert Scott, I know exactly who I am, my oldest memories and everything, I'm not getting amnesia or some rubbish" he chuckles lightly.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAy9hd0TC5oQ
"Man, if there's something though it's worth it" Matty says on my side instantly.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAKHDNT9g7D8
"It's probably just too much drinking last night" Jay says.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAb8m3W9FG4j
"Yeah he's fine" Rachel says and I almost throw a plate at her. She begins to move on and I curse myself for having a self absorbed friend.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAX9FjayzZeN
"And you're a doctor are you" I snap and she flinches looking from Jacob to me. Yes he’s hot, hotter than Nate. But I’m dying for her to see the bigger picture, she barely knows Jacob.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAFTEo5oUnyy
"Sorry hormones" I say instantly.
22Please respect copyright.PENANA9avwRkiMXR
"I'll call Forester, tomorrow" I tell him. Stroking Jay’s face.
22Please respect copyright.PENANADjR5WG7GxA
"Even just to rest my own mind" I say before he interrupts me.
22Please respect copyright.PENANA1OTj3uEbAn
I take the plates in and load the dishwasher. Worrying about him. Thinking the worst and realising this could be an ongoing problem. It was just one accident, just a blow to the head once. Surely, this isn't something that will define his whole life. Something so hideously inconvenient.
22Please respect copyright.PENANADT9zDU5Cs8
"Taylor" Jacob says.
22Please respect copyright.PENANALxgyd0qutU
"Mhmm" I say breaking from my thoughts momentarily.
22Please respect copyright.PENANA7dZeHh9ata
"I just wanted to say that this doesn't affect a damn thing" he says.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAgntmp6utJr
"What's doesn't" I snap at him.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAKQLqEIQvnE
"You being with child" he says, formally.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAia0Nbl2M3o
"I literally have no words" I say exasperated.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAz4whoyeODg
"What!? I thought that's why you didn't tell me" he says defensively.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAbgZgMOQWti
“Dancing and choreographing are totally different, you’re a choreographer” he goes on, not hearing me and explaining my own craft to me.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAX6QW4y615V
“You don’t have to dance to see the performance” he adds and I look at him exasperated, feeling extremely hormonal.
22Please respect copyright.PENANATzXYoZcm9z
"Not everything is about you and what you think dick face" I say somewhat harshly, stubbornly. And I cry, he's hit a spot. Tension has boiled up and this is the result; me crying uncontrollably in my kitchen.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAzT9qi0PSU0
“Okay” he says awkwardly. He approaches me warily.
22Please respect copyright.PENANALlolAq0nUB
“So help me God I do not want to slap you Jacob” I say as he goes to touch me, a simple hug.
22Please respect copyright.PENANATqkzIqxJW6
“I’m sorry” he says and I just stare at him. I am a wreck this evening.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAd3PbCZb5cJ
“I’m sorry too” I say somewhat subdued suddenly.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAMMn9zko7be
“I’m just wow hormonal. And I was worrying about Jay and yeah I’m sorry” I say.
22Please respect copyright.PENANACHhTSEKpbd
“I am sorry too, I always say the wrong thing” he says looking down at me. Maintaining his eye contact, I bizarrely remember his face in between my legs last night eyes looking up at me full of lust. I look away quickly.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAV3cxx2suJG
“He’s very lucky” he whispers and I can feel him staring. Shamelessly staring at my boobs.
22Please respect copyright.PENANA2xGy0jkKyl
“Are you even single” I say and I’m back to catty Taylor.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAK621Pql3xX
“What” he says surprised.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAAHLEhSqNqT
“Well Rachel isn’t” I say and I take a step back.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAS2t2sx9lhX
“Rachel this is about Rachel” he smirks. He takes a step closer.
22Please respect copyright.PENANA8T5EpJejTz
“No it’s not” I say defensively
22Please respect copyright.PENANA9v0cHFElBf
“If you don’t advocate me going after her, then why invite her to rehearsal” he says.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAJA1Oytj7xk
“Because…” I say and I curse him.
22Please respect copyright.PENANALwQVFcSNKR
“Because you don’t want to be alone with me” he says and his grin annoys me.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAl33HNNHCgN
“Because you’re an obnoxious ass” I add.
22Please respect copyright.PENANATWpLw0Gui5
“No because you do not want to think about it” he says and I know what he means instantly. His mouth on me.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAcdjWe7WT5x
“Oh get a grip” I say and I turn and finish loading the dishwasher.
He goes to sit on a stool and pours himself another drink. He watches me do my tasks in the kitchen, cleaning up, placing left overs in the fridge. Totally boring mundane things that he seems to find fascinating. He smiles at me every now and then, and in my head I want to yell at him to go away. But stubborn me doesn’t want to prove him right, it would be like admitting that I don’t want to be alone with him. I won’t give him that so here we are at an impasse. I’m ignoring him and he’s paying me lots of attention.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAz2MTuEl6eS
I place everything in the fridge, after wrapping them in foil and cling film. I pull the cake tin down and open it up for the rest of my lemon cake.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAHf6csVzOfa
“None of us can drive” Rachel comes in staggering and I look up. He does not.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAmya0Srn4ze
“Nope” I say. Looks like we’re having another sleepover.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAengfFTiFAO
“Jacob” she says.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAom8Bz6jJDb
“Mhmmm” he replies. He looks at her staggering up to him and steadies her when she reaches him. I roll my eyes.
22Please respect copyright.PENANA1egQJ8pnM2
He watches me.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAdLVsiNrlcM
“Taylor is it okay if we use your spare room, again” he asks grinning.
22Please respect copyright.PENANA32bSm0v8PZ
“It’s fine” I say pressing the button on the dishwasher and it roars to life.
