***Jay's POV***
41Please respect copyright.PENANAs5iQEQFwP1
Rachel bundles into the house and I sigh, time alone with Taylor finished for another evening. I nod at Nate as he passes by. He shows me a bottle of whiskey and I smile at him.
41Please respect copyright.PENANAD22tMKoKll
"Perfect" I say, meaning it.
41Please respect copyright.PENANAOSpV2xDqJG
Rachel is already in the kitchen pouring out the Prosecco and rummaging through the boxes that they ordered. The dresses are hanging upstairs, Taylor insisted on that, but she won't let me see her dress until she is in it. I'm intrigued. As always she will look amazing and way out of anybodies league.
41Please respect copyright.PENANAd2NowscY5O
I glance at her now, my T-shirt hanging off of her, it reaches her mid thigh and I imagine my hands underneath it, just like they were earlier. I look over at Nate who is lounging on a stool, gaping at Taylor. Her hair swaying down her back as she's cooking. I don't blame him of course, I've been there.
41Please respect copyright.PENANAyUT8pmI3NU
I grab two glasses and retrieve the whiskey from him. Pouring him a neat shot and one for myself. I will not mention it or make a deal out of it, I will not fight anybody.
41Please respect copyright.PENANA5eiMrdVUZx
"Okay let's see these dresses" Rach says.
41Please respect copyright.PENANAxqIUUpjp5y
"Sure go have a look" Taylor replies serving up food. She takes a step back and pulls her hair up into a long ponytail. I fantasise over pulling her hair. Amongst all of the other things I do to her.
41Please respect copyright.PENANAFg6rKd32IL
She places the food in front of us and I smile at her brushing her thigh as she passes me. I'm not entirely sure if she realises the sex appeal that she possesses. She must recognise how much other guys stare at her. She had quite the effect on Ross this morning when she got off of my bike. I have to keep him in check, and I'm doing that by being present in our relationship and maybe a touch clingy. Laying on the PDA. I hope she realises just how much I will be touching her tonight.
41Please respect copyright.PENANALDOKc2clld
She sits down and eats with us and we all hear Rachel bundling down the stairs, talking before she even gets to us.
41Please respect copyright.PENANAbyPs6ijZa8
"Taylor that dress is.." she begins gasping
41Please respect copyright.PENANA6ePpCsFqXD
"Shhh. It's a surprise" Taylor smiles at her and rubs my thigh.
"I think you're gonna like it babe" she whispers to me.
41Please respect copyright.PENANAxpHakZ6HOd
I smile back at her.
"Can't wait" I say winking at her.
41Please respect copyright.PENANAkHgajUTTlN
We finish our food and then she kisses me leaning over me as I'm sitting at the table. I want to pull her on top of me right here right now. Teasing she pulls away smiling. And the girls head upstairs.
41Please respect copyright.PENANA4TI6G0rYTs
"Jay" Nate says after a while.
41Please respect copyright.PENANAin93Pekb7G
I look over at him.
"You are one lucky motherfucker" he laughs.
41Please respect copyright.PENANA5GmVQ82yte
I laugh back at him. He's right of course.
I will not do anything to mess this up. He's definitely on her, just like Ross and Matty and even Justin.
41Please respect copyright.PENANArp5AHuO7vp
However I must keep myself in check tonight, that means no punching anybody, not even Matty. No comments, no scraps and certainly no fighting. My hands will remain on her all night long. I've lost count of the number of times Matty and I have scrapped with each other, hit each other and hospitalised each other even.
41Please respect copyright.PENANAmxrJbOm4c7
That cannot happen tonight. It will not.

***Taylors POV***
41Please respect copyright.PENANAKIe0VXfTGf
Rach and I head upstairs to mine and Jays room. She marvels looking into the bathroom as we go. She rolls her eyes at me and I wait for her comments.
41Please respect copyright.PENANApTS8fcKbj7
"Its got one of those freestanding baths and a walk in shower almost the size of my bedroom" she says.
41Please respect copyright.PENANATe19xGld6V
"Jay's bathroom not mine" I say smiling.
41Please respect copyright.PENANAPTkrl2WOh9
"Yeah and he's really seriously into you Taylor and even that isn't cutting it" she begins and I can feel a lecture coming.
"He never ever told anybody about this place or himself, or anything Taylor. And all of a sudden you're living here together. Riding on the back of his bike which nobody has ever even dared to touch" she scoffs.
"May as well marry him" she says smiling.
41Please respect copyright.PENANAB1SKEsI5Q9
"Ohh shh and get ready" I sigh.
"I'm showering first" I stick my tongue out.
41Please respect copyright.PENANANJ7TgewrBJ
I grab the body scrub from the box and head to the en-suite bathroom. She sits on the four poster bed looking out to the view, which is magical at night time. Enchanting even.
41Please respect copyright.PENANAs04X6OBKa2
I scrub up and prep my skin for the new tan and after drying, I apply my tan feeling like a new women.
41Please respect copyright.PENANA3BgdBZeDFG
I enter the bedroom glowing in my bathrobe. Rach jumps in the shower and I set to work on my hair. I dry and curl it into loose waves. Then I do my makeup giving myself Smokey eyes and red lips and a serious glow up to match my tan.
41Please respect copyright.PENANALkeqG6JKpk
"Okay I need you to do my eyes" Rach smiles.
41Please respect copyright.PENANAlwtAJdDRZU
"Sure" I say getting out my suspenders and hold ups. I'm wearing super high heels too.
41Please respect copyright.PENANA9eHUOBvnkN
My dress is slit up to my thigh, it's maxi in length but when I move everybody will see my hold ups, which is exactly the look I'm going for.
41Please respect copyright.PENANAPPaAeCNOxW
I do Rach’s eyes and then get ready myself. I'm going braless because my dress is strapless and my whole back is on show. My dress is black, with a bandeau style neckline which scoops all the way down at the back to my mid waist. It's figure hugging and it travels all the way down to my feet. The extreme slit makes it though, and when I look at it in the mirror I have to admit it’s seriously hot.
41Please respect copyright.PENANA3SN3VYWrNQ
Rach’s dress is white and short. It’s long sleeved and it skims over her curves. Her hair is straightened and she’s finished her look with nude heels.
41Please respect copyright.PENANARMOVwzfqcx
“You look great” I say.
“Here let me take a picture by the view” I add getting my phone out.
41Please respect copyright.PENANAO6BmVsmqEe
She poses by the window and I take several.
41Please respect copyright.PENANA1dPEEOHoiW
“You seriously need your picture taken in that dress” she explains and I protest but give in.
41Please respect copyright.PENANAZrdDrOYIyb
“Taylor smile you look incredible” she says.
41Please respect copyright.PENANAXuqbYg8M4b
We check out our pictures and I’m pleased to see how good we both actually look.
“Okay you go down” I say
“Pour me a glass, Im right behind you” I say.
41Please respect copyright.PENANAp0wsO9WQZE
“Taylor” she says as she’s leaving.
“He’s in love with you” she explains
“Don’t ever doubt that” she smiles and then disappears down our staircase. I briefly wonder how she’s going to stay upright in her heels.
41Please respect copyright.PENANAIWmgTcaxCE
I glance at my messages quickly, the ones from Matty. He’s messaged me a couple times.
41Please respect copyright.PENANAL5CPiax2IF
‘Tay, I’m sorry for moving in on you I just, I’m in a place where we’re still together, where I’m in love with you. Like you left and my mind and heart stayed in the same space. I truly hope you are happy, in whichever decision you make. I will always be in love with you, please know that whatever I do you are at the centre of all of my decisions and what is best for you. I know that we were supposed to be together. I love you’
41Please respect copyright.PENANAQq5RklSBeb
I close the message and swiftly place my phone in my purse. I believe him, I can feel how he feels about me. I can’t change his feelings, I can’t make it better and I can’t give him the resolve he needs.
41Please respect copyright.PENANAJyqTlxenzk
I sigh and get my phone back out. Seeing the two blue ticks I message him back.
41Please respect copyright.PENANAEANpnzQ18r
‘Matty, I understand. I’ll talk to you about it later’ I reply keeping it brief.
41Please respect copyright.PENANAllSyKZtGpT
I head downstairs in my gown after spritzing myself with perfume. Jay is in his best clothes, a clean pale blue shirt which he still manages to look insanely cool and rugged in. Rach is currently staring at him whilst being held by Nate. She isn’t totally over Jay I know that much.
41Please respect copyright.PENANA2arRQEd0fS
I head into the room casting my eyes over Jay, watching him look up and seeing an expression I didn’t anticipate. Awe, devotion and lust flitters over his face and he is speechless looking at me. When I reach him he takes me in his arms his hands brushing my back and he looks down at me in wonder.
41Please respect copyright.PENANAO5iB3Jxrlo
“Taylor” he whispers softly.
“You look…” he begins looking at me again.
“Out of this world” he smiles.
41Please respect copyright.PENANATvS9IZx7r3
He lightly kisses me his lips travelling down my bare neck.
“How am I ever going to fend them off of you now” he chuckles.
41Please respect copyright.PENANAS53cRbRC4B
After staring at me for a few more seconds he tells the others that the cabs on its way. I face Rach watching her looking at Jays arms around me, the way his hand brushes my back lightly.
“Told you” she mouths silently and I wink at her. I dare not look at Nate.
41Please respect copyright.PENANANoSTGAtfzJ
“Who’s coming tonight” he says and I resolutely look up at Jay. He stares back into my eyes.
41Please respect copyright.PENANAnNkuhonIX6
“Everybody” Rach sighs and I briefly pull my eyes away from Jay.
41Please respect copyright.PENANAAY53nSO8Xj
“All of our lot; Ross and Matty” I say without any hesitation.
“Rhea and Malachi” I say.
“I texted her yesterday to be sure” I add. I’m excited to see her again, it’s been an age.
41Please respect copyright.PENANAZXgf7Rls1k
“Justin, Stiffy, Brad” Nate adds and I look at him finally his eyes are watching me closely.
“Jen, Pippa, Ryan obviously” he says.
41Please respect copyright.PENANADorjFKAA7O
“Oh what a lovely reunion” I add. Jen hates me with a passion.
41Please respect copyright.PENANAMxRJ6XDJqE
“That reminds me my guitar” I say going to grab it. I walk to the storage cupboard and retrieve my acoustic and bring it back in.
41Please respect copyright.PENANAln5mZLyut6
“Who’s he anyways” I hear Rach say when I join them all again.
41Please respect copyright.PENANAIaUuOyQs5P
“Josh? He’s the captain of the team” Nate says bigging up this new guy they’re all discussing.
41Please respect copyright.PENANANNmP6KQoa4
“You’ll spot him, big guy. Dark hair, tan. I think he’s the best rugby player we’ve had ever” he adds.
41Please respect copyright.PENANA1IPRt8bb8X
“Sounds like your a fan” Rach quips.
41Please respect copyright.PENANAA1oD6MTd8f
“Josh is an alright guy actually I’ve spoken to him in the gym before. He’s pretty into his sport” Jay adds for perspective and I look at him.
41Please respect copyright.PENANAzDrfXT0r8j
“He’s a second year like me” he clarifies and he looks at me hesitantly.
41Please respect copyright.PENANAZ6Wwnc4lqG
“We’ve fought before not gonna lie” he laughs.
41Please respect copyright.PENANAJfCwezGe6p
“Won’t be happening again” he sighs.
41Please respect copyright.PENANAJwXkKm7KJZ
“Cabs here” he says and I follow him out. Wondering about Josh and why he’s never been mentioned before. I wonder if they were friends? I question why they fought before?
41Please respect copyright.PENANAljO54l3077
Jay puts his arms around my waist in the cab and I stare ahead briefly seeing Nate watching me again. I look up at Jay and he kisses me and smiles.
41Please respect copyright.PENANANZtvem5fQe
“I love you” he whispers
41Please respect copyright.PENANAWdCTVqqHpB
“I love you” I sigh and rest my head in his chest.
