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.
19Please respect copyright.PENANAApSVoRTORp
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.
19Please respect copyright.PENANACCF2onV1BK
"My wife" Jay says still looking at the pan of meat he's frying up. They have been drinking whiskey not wine.
19Please respect copyright.PENANANaOFQ3cx06
Matty eyes me, smiling. He's chopping up basil. I'm impressed.
19Please respect copyright.PENANAXU6bmDCoPb
"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.
19Please respect copyright.PENANAUSCWJKeb0c
He turns to face me putting his wooden spoon down. Kissing me and running his hands through my hair.
19Please respect copyright.PENANAFCk2IJAtej
"Mmm" he says.
19Please respect copyright.PENANAOpE0Lkfe9k
"Mmm indeed" I reply softly.
19Please respect copyright.PENANAqqQ09kZVwF
"Ugh I want a glass of wine" I whine and he smiles.
19Please respect copyright.PENANAJQIateAQbu
"This is the first time I've like missed wine" I say.
19Please respect copyright.PENANAlImHO7emiF
"Ahhh baby" he says softly kissing my forehead. He moves his hands over my waist, holding onto Caleb and smiling.
19Please respect copyright.PENANAMzAypUvJlu
"I love you, that smells amazing" I smile.
19Please respect copyright.PENANAUrXFbN77Hp
"I love you" he chuckles.
19Please respect copyright.PENANAHUh7yWKYgM
"How was your car" he smiles.
19Please respect copyright.PENANA71xDEj9QFc
"It was amazing" I smile up at him and he squeezes my bum inconspicuously.
19Please respect copyright.PENANAy2MQSthEe2
"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.
19Please respect copyright.PENANAxLCuvMiGWe
"Jesus Christ" Jay says looking at her.
19Please respect copyright.PENANAdTzzZ9VinF
"Rachel you're very ugh dark" Matty says and she swats him.
19Please respect copyright.PENANAVZ1g3dDSVN
"What colour did you go for" I ask, I will not laugh. I love her.
19Please respect copyright.PENANALzO63Htzs3
"I went for dark" she says.
19Please respect copyright.PENANAcxVIllMIDP
"The lady went on about some crap about being pale but I wanna see it" she says.
19Please respect copyright.PENANAz5JyFgYDIT
"I only go for medium silly" I say.
19Please respect copyright.PENANAHm6oZNNww5
"Why didn't you tell me" she laughs.
19Please respect copyright.PENANABgs5QJS7OT
"You know it's gonna get darker" I say. She freaks looking in the hall mirror.
19Please respect copyright.PENANAbdvgOUIwTO
"Oompa Loompa" she laughs.
19Please respect copyright.PENANABgYA3ABjg8
"Fuck" she says.
19Please respect copyright.PENANArCYTFexOez
I pull my phone out.
19Please respect copyright.PENANAYcmOoERvla
"Look best bet, put on some oil and then have a long bath" I say looking online for advice.
19Please respect copyright.PENANAcMEpQP4kiI
She hurries upstairs, Nate takes a seat, pouring some whiskey.
19Please respect copyright.PENANA5Ke2KYLNy5
"I'm gonna let her deal before I go up" he laughs and I chuckle.
19Please respect copyright.PENANApVBiVSdM0B
"I'll go help" I laugh. Jay pulls me back lightly. I smile and kiss him.
19Please respect copyright.PENANALmMlnnOhvs
"Don't be gone too long" he says softly.
19Please respect copyright.PENANApEsufP9Fyo
"I'll be back before you know it" I smile.
19Please respect copyright.PENANAX26WC03ytf
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.
19Please respect copyright.PENANABi9Ppuh0KN
I head upstairs and knock before I go in.
19Please respect copyright.PENANAJPiNMWjtcG
"Yep" she says softly. Rachel is never soft.
19Please respect copyright.PENANA8jyv7pkz1q
"Can I come in" I ask.
19Please respect copyright.PENANAGntuW8MZca
"Sure" she says.
19Please respect copyright.PENANAX6kaAzgMRZ
I step in and she's sobbing and I feel awful.
19Please respect copyright.PENANAJD6swl2t9I
"You're good at this and everything and I'm rubbish I get things wrong all the time" she sighs.
19Please respect copyright.PENANABMKJLF2EOP
"Don't be silly" I say, placing my arm around her shoulder.
19Please respect copyright.PENANAUmJn822oGD
"Ross can't even look at me." She says.
19Please respect copyright.PENANAjtR06RZSmz
"Because he's Ross. He doesn't do casual sex" I say.
19Please respect copyright.PENANAINBFwDss06
"Yeah but I don't want to ruin our friendship" she says.
19Please respect copyright.PENANAXeCVDH7Kxv
"You haven't, he's just being Ross" I say.
19Please respect copyright.PENANARPHmc7uRKQ
"Now let's sort out this tan" I say pacing into the en-suite and grabbing some coconut oil.
19Please respect copyright.PENANAXJ68XxN8j3
"Go put it on" I say.
19Please respect copyright.PENANAlsvljpd0Xy
"Then get in the bath" I explain.
19Please respect copyright.PENANAPQxSJjS7Cr
"I'll be just next door, I'm not about to join the whiskey men's club down stairs" I laugh.
19Please respect copyright.PENANABB4SY8MhoV
"You're the best" she says wiping her eyes as she stands and heads to the bath.
19Please respect copyright.PENANAWvMX7QA9yt
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.
19Please respect copyright.PENANAEntRTk9za6
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.
19Please respect copyright.PENANAALrzQ024J1
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.
19Please respect copyright.PENANARvT9MP8lkk
"Yep" I say.
19Please respect copyright.PENANAq0ooPba1hU
"Hey snap" Rachel says. Of course we're both wearing the dress.
19Please respect copyright.PENANAPHCSNdje01
"See the tan looks much much better" I compliment her.
19Please respect copyright.PENANAprJUrTZRUn
"Thanks Tay" she says.
19Please respect copyright.PENANA6tPOKG6EKX
"For everything" she smiles.
19Please respect copyright.PENANAA7ngPnvMau
"Now let's go and eat Jay and Matty's creation" I laugh.
19Please respect copyright.PENANATmvVNyDcQy
"Are you worried?" She laughs.
19Please respect copyright.PENANAuw0W37Ljbj
"Oh it will be edible" I say.
19Please respect copyright.PENANAjnCQUSc7X5
I follow her out and downstairs.
19Please respect copyright.PENANAmnWtRhM4eU
"You look beautiful Rachel" Nate says and I smile at him. That's just the confidence boost she needed.
19Please respect copyright.PENANAWnGL3WYsuH
"You have the same dress" Nate laughs.
19Please respect copyright.PENANAoJi2rf7XrA
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.
19Please respect copyright.PENANAMOUcVHNBG0
"Bad that I wanna take it off?" He whispers in my ear.
19Please respect copyright.PENANAQQzTKwtRyJ
"My lingerie matches" I say teasing him.
19Please respect copyright.PENANAvOjwEPi1lU
"Oh Taylor" he sighs. And I want to tell him to take me right here right now.
19Please respect copyright.PENANAv73rQ4Jejg
"That's just mean" he smirks.
19Please respect copyright.PENANAJ4VwKMMuVQ
"How's the food" I ask him. And he looks at me as if he's just remembered that he's cooking. I smile.
19Please respect copyright.PENANA7V8ztwxndU
I walk over to the cooker and he smiles. It smells divine. He pulls out the lasagne and actually it looks perfect.
19Please respect copyright.PENANA3KGsGs1ayZ
"I made you something" he smiles.
19Please respect copyright.PENANASXnWwqgb9Y
"It's a mocktail" he smiles.
19Please respect copyright.PENANAHSDI8HiwP3
"An alcohol free sangria" he says pulling out a cocktail jug.
19Please respect copyright.PENANATIaQq7BWo1
I wipe my eyes and Rachel scoffs.
19Please respect copyright.PENANAYSFC32Qain
"Hormonal Taylor is back people" she laughs.
19Please respect copyright.PENANAhHpHevMDs9
"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.
19Please respect copyright.PENANARmJPmVFkmO
"Thank you" I whisper to him and he kisses me.
19Please respect copyright.PENANAxgef4dc6nQ
"Now sit and relax, I've got this" he says.
19Please respect copyright.PENANA1GueqvtCXY
"I even made a salad" he smiles. I kiss him passionately.
19Please respect copyright.PENANA3PM2wG128s
"Mmm" he sighs.
19Please respect copyright.PENANAJIRQMa1s4I
"Don't distract me" he smiles.
19Please respect copyright.PENANABUtjRoThAe
"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.
19Please respect copyright.PENANAnMyzHfHLBW
"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.
19Please respect copyright.PENANAHcElzDXyse
"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.
19Please respect copyright.PENANALFC9PcNEUN
"I'll put the plates out" I say as he's finishing up.
19Please respect copyright.PENANAx3x1Nirobg
I place them one by one at the table along with the bowl of salad.
19Please respect copyright.PENANAvfGSzVTRV0
"I'm done with being distant because people are around" I whisper in his ear and he chuckles.
19Please respect copyright.PENANAjBJX4mu1q8
He sits down and I sit on his lap at the table. I need him.
19Please respect copyright.PENANAIIIopZiL7k
"Have you missed each other or something" Rachel laughs.
19Please respect copyright.PENANAjtPWhs5CEO
"Hugely" he replies eating some Lasagne.
19Please respect copyright.PENANAiV1WTLWehM
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.
19Please respect copyright.PENANAOE6aOzHqHk
"Jay" Rach says.
19Please respect copyright.PENANAGhgs0u0koB
"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.
19Please respect copyright.PENANAln1TqM1yUn
"That's a really good question" he laughs.
19Please respect copyright.PENANAEPteUF1t2m
"Hands down Jay you've always been like this" Matty laughs.
19Please respect copyright.PENANABE3B9oZyEM
I smile at him and Jay feeds me another piece of lasagne. I dare not look at Ross.
19Please respect copyright.PENANA8fUxUm8h2v
"Let's just say Taylor made me reconnect with a part of myself I thought I'd gotten rid of" he laughs.
19Please respect copyright.PENANADhjXSkxaob
"What the human part" Rachel laughs.
19Please respect copyright.PENANAGoxGwRTF9A
"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.
19Please respect copyright.PENANAiDr2zdgazM
"Because obviously" she looks at Nate briefly. He nods aware that they dated. I feed him lasagne and then look down at my plate.
19Please respect copyright.PENANANqll93fKAW
"I mean you didn't even own a spatula and now you're cooking lasagne." She smiles.
19Please respect copyright.PENANArH3MvuQNk6
"I owned a spatula I just didn't use it" he laughs.
19Please respect copyright.PENANA1jpSZV6HJw
I kiss him and he downs his whiskey; stroking my thigh.
19Please respect copyright.PENANABsw56wZhNa
“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.
19Please respect copyright.PENANAzY3cLjZ6kx
He tops up his whiskey.
19Please respect copyright.PENANA43pE4imVEp
“No apologies needed” she smiles.
