I check my phone, it's been nearly an hour. I'm seriously way past tipsy now. I head outside to call him.
38Please respect copyright.PENANAXKwumq29oZ
"Hey babe" Matty answers.
"I'm coming now okay" he says.
38Please respect copyright.PENANAKbqmnkLMWz
"Hey yeah sorry I wasn't nagging you, I just miss you" I say.
38Please respect copyright.PENANAsCwCthGFKS
"No I know that baby, I'll be there in five" He says and hangs up.
38Please respect copyright.PENANAB3xukuwceP
I wait outside for him. He strolls up to me minutes later smiling.
"Hey I'm sorry I had to clear up everything and then I had to sort out some things with the paintings. I love you" he says smiling at my drunkenness.
38Please respect copyright.PENANABoz8taZuww
"I love you too, I missed you" I laugh.
"How clingy is that" I say.
38Please respect copyright.PENANAyxFHAqyB6j
"I like clingy Taylor" he laughs and pulls me close.
38Please respect copyright.PENANAQX3xDyXF9H
"Want a smoke?" He says and I nod.
He lights up.
38Please respect copyright.PENANARUoPGj7uz1
"I can't drink much I drove here" he says explaining to me.
38Please respect copyright.PENANAXYgGrXRPwT
"Okay" I laugh.
"Maybe you can dance with me instead" I say.
38Please respect copyright.PENANAfWWuzZ44cI
"I could do that, or I could take you home and kiss and cuddle you until you fall asleep" he smiles.
38Please respect copyright.PENANAEGbLfqXkYR
"You can do both. I loved my painting" I say smiling.
38Please respect copyright.PENANAiwmKZN0UYc
"It was a favourite" he says.
"Lots of comments on that one, I'm glad you liked it" he says kissing me.
38Please respect copyright.PENANACOlOPNhCyp
"One more drink" I say to him and he follows me in.
38Please respect copyright.PENANA895MmQ4sr7
We join the others, Matty sits next to Rhea and Malachi and I sit facing him next to Ross. Jay is at the bar.
"You look beautiful" Ross says quietly.
38Please respect copyright.PENANAEFz3J2Z1me
"Thanks Ross" I tell him sweetly.
38Please respect copyright.PENANAPzwzui7elS
He smiles.
"You're so drunk" he teases.
38Please respect copyright.PENANAYefcsmVq15
"Wanna go dance?" I laugh.
"Matty we're dancing are you with us"
38Please respect copyright.PENANAzocjVh0tHk
"You enjoy, I'm not quite there yet" he smiles.
38Please respect copyright.PENANARBdi2PzuVW
Lord he's beautiful but he's being so sensible.
I think I just got knocked back, or turned down or whatever. I stand up and leave, head to the bar I presume Ross follows me. I turn around when I get there and of course Ross is still with me.
38Please respect copyright.PENANAZeQJY6c9Ul
I order us a shot each.
"I think I wanna see your moves again" I tell him. Ross actually can dance. I've seen it before. He's got great hips.
38Please respect copyright.PENANANF8cDcxGwv
I walk off to the dance floor. It's so busy, people everywhere. I push past a few people to get nearer to the front. To be fair I could happily have been dancing on my own here and I wouldn't mind.
38Please respect copyright.PENANAQwmH8ypaa8
I get a little bit too close to Ross. It's busy and there isn't room to move.
"Ugh Taylor you know how I'm feeling about you right" he says.
"When you do that" he says eyes on my hips.
38Please respect copyright.PENANA87LBgkXSFA
"Don't overthink this Ross" I say.
38Please respect copyright.PENANAAmFtGWC2xK
"Yeah but" he starts.
38Please respect copyright.PENANAmVuYb4YCgO
"Ugh" I sigh.
He chuckles hugging my waist briefly.
38Please respect copyright.PENANAZR14folEpH
He pulls away from me. That's okay probably for the best really. I can dance on my own. I turn around deciding that the guys are no fun.
I'll dance here alone. This is why I need Rach I smile to myself.
38Please respect copyright.PENANAR1vlwv9SnR
There are hands on me from behind I think to myself, in a drunken state. Must be Ross. I turn around slowly in a haze and it's not him. The guy is tall and has dark hair, an eyebrow piercing and tattoos all over his bare chest.
38Please respect copyright.PENANALRKBU4RywE
I'm confused who is this stranger?
"Hey" he says trying to pull me towards him. I pull back.
"It's okay, my names Nate" he says.
38Please respect copyright.PENANAE8yctObBkM
"I'm okay I just want to dance" I say like a child.
He pulls again and I stubbornly pull back.
38Please respect copyright.PENANAMCc4plPTNh
"You didn't mind before" he says.
38Please respect copyright.PENANA7kcmeL3TYG
"She's with me" Jay says. Where did he come from? He intervenes, I look up at him thankful that he came along. I can't stop looking at him, his eyes.
38Please respect copyright.PENANAzoqRdvWnUa
Tattoo guy wanders off to find his next victim.
"I've never danced with you before" I state to Jay.
38Please respect copyright.PENANAaWyGVufN4D
"Yeah are you okay?" He whispers to me
"Did he touch you ?" He asks. Suddenly angry.
38Please respect copyright.PENANAD7oz5KljN5
"I don't know, he ugh was behind me and I felt hands I thought it was Ross" I laugh.
38Please respect copyright.PENANAISaqR50N4K
"Okay I'll deal with it I know him from uni" he says.
38Please respect copyright.PENANAEXHtHcFBvj
He holds me close to him swaying his hips with mine. The song is a little slower and it's the most sensual dancing I've ever done with a man. It feels protective the way his arms go around my frame.
38Please respect copyright.PENANAz9JazWLRj8
"The way you move your hips like that" he sighs.
My head is on his chest.
I close my eyes and just breathe him in. My hands around him.
38Please respect copyright.PENANArj0jEPPvju
The song finishes and I guide him out of the dance floor if I stay there with him I won't leave his arms. I head to the bar, for my last drink. And then we head back to the others.
38Please respect copyright.PENANA9opncVTGfR
"Where did you go" I ask Ross sitting down next to him.
38Please respect copyright.PENANAvsjmrNTVOq
"I just went to get a drink" he says.
38Please respect copyright.PENANAo1OTn986LZ
"Nate was forcing himself on your girlfriend" Jay says to Matty. He enjoyed that a bit too much.
38Please respect copyright.PENANAX41WSIMVbZ
"Are you okay Taylor?" Matty asks.
38Please respect copyright.PENANALw5BIhctmU
"I'm all good" I say.
38Please respect copyright.PENANASbvLfeCrCW
Rhea stands and kisses me. Malachi and her leave and I realise it's midnight.
38Please respect copyright.PENANAExmfdDDgyj
"What happened" he asks.
38Please respect copyright.PENANAtYCIHQpnew
"Nothing" I say. I feel like sulking.
"He just pulled at me and tried to touch me that's it" I say.
38Please respect copyright.PENANAn6CLAcN7Id
"Sorry" Ross says.
38Please respect copyright.PENANAogYw866DAF
"It's not your fault" I tell him
"I just didn't know where you were" I say.
"Who's Nate?" I ask.
38Please respect copyright.PENANAA13zuylxsF
"My year, history major I think" Jay says scraping his hair back.
38Please respect copyright.PENANAUX77aYYQQx
"Taylor we can go" Matty says finally assessing the situation.
"I'll get the car and swing it out front" he says.
38Please respect copyright.PENANAu96RHVo39s
I finish my drink, and Matty leaves to get the car.
I check my bag, everything is in there.
38Please respect copyright.PENANATIoLUDDTNh
"Thanks for that" I say to Jay.
38Please respect copyright.PENANAt7jTjDM9ZE
"No problem" he says looking at his brandy. He finishes it and stands up. I follow his lead and walk out behind him.
38Please respect copyright.PENANALPMHJvClDA
"Hey get in I'll drop you all back" Matty says.
38Please respect copyright.PENANAjInVZzHGtc
I walk around the car and get in. The guys get in the back.
