"You are in fact looking at the principle dancer at the Martha Graham dance company" Jay says to everybody at lunch time the next day. I blush and shy away from the eyes watching me.
42Please respect copyright.PENANA8BhQnA7ltp
"Wow Taylor" Matty says standing up.
42Please respect copyright.PENANA8u4GvrqWh4
"That's truly incredible" Rhea says.
42Please respect copyright.PENANARKBVAFUsdF
"Yeah first interview and first paid job" I comment smiling.
42Please respect copyright.PENANAtCBTVZEjLw
"Well done Taylor you're an incredible dancer" Rach smiles.
42Please respect copyright.PENANAEtXnNDX3Ni
Ross smiles stands up and hugs me.
42Please respect copyright.PENANA9JHlTQVE1a
"Well done, amazing news" Ross says holding my forearms.
42Please respect copyright.PENANAMWLiiUgI4y
"Thanks Ross" I smile.
42Please respect copyright.PENANALxpXWnRD5d
Myself and Jay take a seat together with our lunch on the end of the sofa squished in, me on top of him.
42Please respect copyright.PENANA3l3sXBUQWD
I spoon some pasta into his mouth and he laughs. I hook my arm around his shoulders. I actually think I need to show everybody, just how much we are in love with one another. So no holding back.
I kiss his lips and he chuckles lightly.

Rhea smiles at me.
"Talking of fantastic news Malachi is coming here next year" she says
42Please respect copyright.PENANAdCvQfxOYsD
"Yes" I say standing up and hugging her instantly.
42Please respect copyright.PENANAW0hic8W0p9
"I love that for you both, well done Malachi. Studying ?" I ask
42Please respect copyright.PENANAKnwKsECoKz
"Creative events management" she says
42Please respect copyright.PENANAvbEKMZV9kV
"Ohh perfect" I smile. Pulling my dance skirt down and resuming my place on Jays knee.
42Please respect copyright.PENANAM76MfWzDB2
"My cousin is a second year events management student" Jay says
42Please respect copyright.PENANAeE8Qd2YYCD
Noticeably everybody looks taken aback.
"Ella?" I ask and Rach's head snaps to mine, he nods to me.
42Please respect copyright.PENANAYIGX0lPzoT
"I didn't even know you had a cousin" she says
42Please respect copyright.PENANAhZuJXsJSb5
"Yeah so if Malachi wants someone to chat about it, she's actually nice not like me at all" Jay laughs. I stroke his arm, smiling at him. He's wearing a polo shirt today, it's fitted and I'm a fan.
42Please respect copyright.PENANA2Wzxedpav1
"Thanks I will tell him, I'm sure that would be great though" she genuinely smiles at him.
42Please respect copyright.PENANAAAVjqxBGUs
"Might mean less parties for me by the way" I tell Rachel
42Please respect copyright.PENANA6zs8ikHQTq
"I have rehearsals four times a week in town" I add.
42Please respect copyright.PENANAQhFxUVD7L7
"In town? The clubs there are banging. We'll come to you" she remarks.
42Please respect copyright.PENANAZM7yYVuYGt
I laugh and look at Jay.
"They have tons of restaurants, we've tried one already" he comments and I stare into his eyes.
42Please respect copyright.PENANAUYGDn0tJ4C
"It was great the food was perfect" I tell him
42Please respect copyright.PENANAIitFM8ea4O
"You're perfect" he smiles and I kiss him.
42Please respect copyright.PENANArSM5pwcrpM
"Ugh you two, go be in fucking love with each other elsewhere" Rach snarks and I wink at him.
42Please respect copyright.PENANA9MtMz5AXA2
"Wanna go elsewhere?" I laugh and he scoffs at me.
42Please respect copyright.PENANA36jKshwhnK
"Where's Nate?" I tease her.
42Please respect copyright.PENANAZWjEwiqF8r
"He's got rugby" she sighs.
"With Josh" she adds.
42Please respect copyright.PENANAn76YCk4nBO
That reminds me of a few things on my mental to do list, first is to thank Joshua Morelli, who would ever have thought I'd be doing that? And second, the harder thing, is to speak to Matty. He deserved better than me and I need to clear the air. He deserves to know the truth so that he can move on.
42Please respect copyright.PENANAggjf0qaG7l
Jay notices me staring into space and he checks out my wrist. He gets out my pills and I pop two.
42Please respect copyright.PENANAwHNY47xADi
"Oh shit Taylor, yeah what happened at the hospital?" Rach asks.
42Please respect copyright.PENANAI8KZZ1OCES
"It's just a fracture" I say
42Please respect copyright.PENANA5gPt57Cogh
"I heard that Tom had a broken nose" Rhea laughs.
"Finally somebody hit him" she snarks smiling at Jay. Since when did she condone violence?
42Please respect copyright.PENANAaYVmrB1eHm
"You will not be pursuing him again" I laugh and he kisses me again pulling my arms around him tightly.
42Please respect copyright.PENANA97kEV53LFE
"I think it's funnier that I managed to land a dance job with my arm in a bandage" I smile once I come up for air from Jays lips. Everybody laughs. There, tension dissipated.
42Please respect copyright.PENANAui3LO6OET4
Jay strokes my waist and I smile.
42Please respect copyright.PENANAJh8ac8Uk27
"Okay so before we break up though we do need to celebrate" Rach says smiling.
42Please respect copyright.PENANADoT20k9Dvc
"Yeah? How about Friday?" I smirk
42Please respect copyright.PENANAOO5r4Vex37
"No no I have plans that involve you this Friday" Jay says smiling.
42Please respect copyright.PENANAXiy78LzMlU
"Oh yeah" I remember smiling back at him.
42Please respect copyright.PENANAlXXtpnIJN7
"Thursday night? I'm not in uni Friday anyways" I say
42Please respect copyright.PENANARHyZ21VSio
"Yes I'll bunk my Friday lecture" Rach says.
"Awesome, Ross? Matty" she asks and I peer down at Jays lips and can't resist but to kiss them.
42Please respect copyright.PENANAgtfloJ8i0Q
"Course" Ross says
"Sure" Matty says and stands to walk out.
42Please respect copyright.PENANAylnz7W7N5n
"Let me just" I say to Jay and instantly recognition dawns on his face, remembering what I was telling him about apologising to Matty. He lets me go. I leave my stuff with Jay as I'm walking with them to psychology afterwards.
42Please respect copyright.PENANA5KGsjBglvO
I follow Matty out and he looks back at me shocked.
42Please respect copyright.PENANAEXrhZEtsfE
"Can we find some time to just talk ?" I say once he lights up outside.
He eyes me.
"If you don't want too that's fine but.." I begin.
42Please respect copyright.PENANAs4xqhKZ7u3
"Taylor congratulations firstly that's huge. I'm so excited for you. I always knew you would get a break in a dance company" Matty smiles at me.
42Please respect copyright.PENANAu1ZNJeVWa3
"I'm free whenever, you could just drop by and we can talk" he says.
42Please respect copyright.PENANA7ja1TRxbX9
Ohhh either a good idea, or a very very bad one.
42Please respect copyright.PENANADQCC0s3hGc
"Come on?" He says with a sly smile.
"I'm not going to try shit" he adds.
"Believe me I'm more than aware of your relationship with Jay, you've both made yourselves super clear. We can just get takeout and talk it's all good" he says laughing.
42Please respect copyright.PENANAo3brSh9de1
"Okay sure" I say smiling
"Tonight?" I add, how mature.
Perhaps he already has plans?
42Please respect copyright.PENANA3a8b0bTmJo
"Done" he says smiling
42Please respect copyright.PENANAcZAWKvZoxg
"Great." I smile and turn to walk back in. Resolve hits me and I smile, I can tell him and I can fix this.
