Tom and I are in the same room, this could be icky. He does look different, and that's why I didn't recognise him. Somehow he looks more grown up. I'm sure he's still the same boy-ish guitar playing lad he always was. His hair is shorter, and as I glance up quickly I know he's recognised me. I'm sure that I look different too, I can tell this by watching the way his eyes widen.
37Please respect copyright.PENANAmGtkEZXHPw
Tom was my high school sweetheart, we dated off and on. We ended things sourly. And if I remember correctly the last contact I had with him was Matty answering my phone and telling him to leave me alone.
37Please respect copyright.PENANAMeWa9Zi6o6
Tom actively ended our relationship however with his actions, he started seeing another girl and that did it for me. That was my last straw. I sigh and glance at Jay. Looking at him after laying eyes on Tom, I realise that Jay is exquisite. His eyes sparkle when he looks at me.
37Please respect copyright.PENANAdoIHAtei7v
"So Tom huh?" He smiles.
37Please respect copyright.PENANAreoTVZ0e13
"Yeah, a long time ago. Before everything." I tell him in his ear.
37Please respect copyright.PENANAqUw5aO0K93
"He's standing behind us, far wall, 8 o'clock" I say indicating where he is to Jay.
37Please respect copyright.PENANA7r6mRwojhZ
"What did he possibly do to lose a beautiful person like you?" He sighs after briefly looking over his shoulder. Jay does not care that Tom regards him back. Jay is the epitome of an alpha male, he outranks most guys if not all of them.
37Please respect copyright.PENANAId8UkCXStm
"He lost me because he started seeing somebody else at the same time, as me." I say flatly.
37Please respect copyright.PENANAFMWcYOcG7p
"The last time I had contact with him, Matty basically told him to fuck off" I say to Jay and he scoffs.
37Please respect copyright.PENANAL5HYw55obK
"Firstly" he says softly.
"I'm glad you recognised your worth and left him, what an idiot. Having you and not seeing how special you are" he sighs.
"And secondly, trust Matty to be telling other guys to fuck off" he laughs and I giggle.
37Please respect copyright.PENANAAmmEX6P7MI
"Yeah so I'd rather not repeat the whole fuck off away from Taylor shit, that's happened before" I smile and he chuckles.
37Please respect copyright.PENANAd7Pn7Yo5dy
"I won't say a damn thing. I know Taylor that you have got your own back. I'm just here for support. I mean playing games like that with guys like Josh that's ballsy" he sighs.
37Please respect copyright.PENANA6QWAdleQFa
"Yes he needs to be taken down a peg or two" I say.
37Please respect copyright.PENANA1GaSaMSmUg
"The whole look at me I'm a sports student shit and the jersey" I roll my eyes.
37Please respect copyright.PENANAtwlJQeyP6I
"Typical right, just like politics majors always getting what they want" he smiles down at me.
37Please respect copyright.PENANALaVjPLpodg
"Yes just like them too" I laugh and kiss him. He extends the kiss and I let him.
37Please respect copyright.PENANAQ7A5KYs2Pk
"You got all that you wanted?" I whisper whilst he lets me take a breath.
37Please respect copyright.PENANAhYTMttu7oY
"Yes and more" he says smiling at me.
37Please respect copyright.PENANAT5jxDUj5Ut
"I think when we were here before, and not together" he adds.
37Please respect copyright.PENANAA901x7AqSw
"I spent the entire time watching you." He sighs.
37Please respect copyright.PENANAkY0GfSG2aQ
"Trying to catch moments with you" he laughs.
37Please respect copyright.PENANAjdAW5W0O8B
"I know we made out in the bathroom, and that was pretty intense." I laugh.
37Please respect copyright.PENANAagaGqe9UES
He chuckles and his hands tighten around my waist.
37Please respect copyright.PENANAdZgtUB09Og
After a minute I break our comfortable silence.
"My head can never be turned Jay, I want you to be sure of that. I get what you were saying earlier about Josh and how you freaked out, but honestly I'm in love with you. And I mean it when I say that I can't be taken by anybody else" I say looking into his eyes.
37Please respect copyright.PENANARiGhHfwqmV
He looks at me earnestly, sighs and shakes his head.
"That means everything" he says and kisses me again. His hand comes around to my waist lingers slightly and then reaches up to my cheek stroking me lightly.
37Please respect copyright.PENANAK02xoMEXYs
"Taylor I don't see anybody else in my future other than us" he whispers and glances down at my tummy briefly.
37Please respect copyright.PENANAtbsPWlVwdz
"And I can tell you I'm going to be taking you home soon, to our house and laying you down on our bed and making love to you hard all night long" he whispers in my ear and I swallow thinking about it.
37Please respect copyright.PENANAI60bz7XPb6
"Mmm" I say biting my lip.
37Please respect copyright.PENANAyBlKgBQFAQ
"Don't make that noise here, fuck" he smiles.
37Please respect copyright.PENANATUqiueCZCr
"Well don't turn me on so much in public" I retort stroking his face with my hand.
37Please respect copyright.PENANA3bUVy3e5ph
"You two are such fucking love birds" Rach says breaking me out of my bubble.
37Please respect copyright.PENANA9NQ1d7bNCo
Jay doesn't even stop looking at me.
37Please respect copyright.PENANA9k8JRYapaU
"Have you had a nice night Rach" I ask sweetly.
37Please respect copyright.PENANAphT6GKXyDl
"No don't say that, it means you're leaving soon" she sighs.
37Please respect copyright.PENANAT00vIwl7d4
"My fault" Jay says
"I want to take her home" he adds smiling.
37Please respect copyright.PENANAiPsD0cFlQK
"We should get going soon too" Nate laughs.
37Please respect copyright.PENANACwksW0ehxg
"Oh not you too" Rach laughs.
"Matty, Ross" Rach calls over the room.
"You best not be flaking out on me too" she says and they come over to our group.
37Please respect copyright.PENANAFRnueKLotu
"Ross darling" she says drunkenly and I wince at his sour expression.
37Please respect copyright.PENANAlUEay2I3QR
"You need a dance" she says breaking away from Nate who laughs.
37Please respect copyright.PENANAbFh3r2BErq
"All yours dude" he sighs.
37Please respect copyright.PENANAcJI6biC2Kk
I can feel Jay's hands on my waist and I rest my head in his neck. I glance around the room, and it's all a haze to me. On the far wall I make out Justin, standing leaning against the wall with his beer. I smile at him as I catch his eye. He smiles back and then goes back to talking to some guys.
37Please respect copyright.PENANA2kPDeA0A1N
"Can I save Ross?" I whisper to Jay.
37Please respect copyright.PENANAxvJhjXYiLN
"Of course I'll call a cab" he says kissing me.
37Please respect copyright.PENANAOYnuxQjvFV
"My go Rach." I say laughing. Ross sighs smiling at me, Rach seeks out her next target. It happens to be Ryan. At one point I thought that they would make a good couple.
37Please respect copyright.PENANAphlXuTkFES
Ross takes me in his arms. It's a slow song and I rest against him.
"Have you had a good time" he says in my ear.
37Please respect copyright.PENANArg9FAM1jbQ
"Yep" I say laughing against his chest.
37Please respect copyright.PENANANnoc4xvzV2
"Have you" I say glancing up at him.
37Please respect copyright.PENANAGA5eZ9uaJO
"Of course. You being here makes my night Taylor" he says softly.
37Please respect copyright.PENANASxpy23vprs
"Ross" I say slowly.
37Please respect copyright.PENANAKjJezNlcGa
"Shhh" he smiles.
37Please respect copyright.PENANAfIKTOSZE0t
"I think you ought to say goodbye to Matty too seen as he's done nothing but watch you all night, I mean I don't blame him" he chuckles looking down at me.
37Please respect copyright.PENANAAt6wQsyi6O
"Oh but I don't ever want to let you go" he smiles. Looking down at me deliberating.
37Please respect copyright.PENANAWtgLAboOql
"Love you" he whispers and then leaves me.
37Please respect copyright.PENANAv0pyYBodOB
Im not sure it is a good idea dancing with Matty.
Just as I'm pondering that he's there in front of me and I walk right into his arms.
"Taylor" he says and I shiver.
37Please respect copyright.PENANAHGHDLUmmg0
"Oh Matty, Toms here" I say remembering that he has briefly met him, and told him to fuck off.
37Please respect copyright.PENANAySGNogyuZe
"No way" he says in my ear.
37Please respect copyright.PENANAdocnRk3kz9
"Way" I say back.
37Please respect copyright.PENANAdZRNZtCmSL
He chuckles and strokes my hair back.
"I didn't get to hear you sing" he says softly.
37Please respect copyright.PENANAGMtkCmjH90
"Next time" I laugh.
37Please respect copyright.PENANANypMCHhpa1
"Next time?" He sighs and his hands go to the small of my back rubbing me.
37Please respect copyright.PENANA3h7U62RJbn
"Next time." I tell him softly.
37Please respect copyright.PENANAMBTxZeHACG
"I can't wait" he says.
37Please respect copyright.PENANAgbBkeRPcQw
"I read your messages, I get what you're saying. I understand and I don't want you to feel upset and let down by me" I whisper.
"I loved you" I whisper.
37Please respect copyright.PENANAuNZJvZkZiL
"Difference is I love you still baby" he says and I sigh.
37Please respect copyright.PENANAsELlL3nGZh
I move back slightly. Out of his arms and personal space.
37Please respect copyright.PENANAu7fzOsoABB
"Goodnight Matty" I say. I give him one more hug and then I walk away.
37Please respect copyright.PENANAzd4sSFiuhH
I spot Jay talking to Malachi and head over to them when I feel a hand on my arm. I swing around.
"Tay" his voice utters.
37Please respect copyright.PENANA6PJY3wq88k
"Tom" I say flatly.
37Please respect copyright.PENANAhYokqiRAEV
"You look stunning" he says and I almost laugh in his face. I don't, however tempting that might be.
37Please respect copyright.PENANAC33DlzpvDF
"I'm leaving" I say and he bulks at my coldness.
37Please respect copyright.PENANA7VY8fyXX0l
"I'm just talking to you" he says and he yanks at my arm. Searing pain is replaced by anger.
"Jeez we used to be together and you're the problem the one that wanted to just run off" he adds.
"And give up on us" he says, is he for real?
37Please respect copyright.PENANAqBBxNsRyWp
"And I'm done, goodbye" I say watching Tom, his grip loosens on me as he eyes somebody behind me.
37Please respect copyright.PENANArFNmm1W6Y8
"Girl wants to leave, you heard her" Josh says. I swallow and look at him shocked.
37Please respect copyright.PENANALDMgz7nWDt
"Taylor you're a heartless bitch" Tom comments pushing my hand down aggressively.
37Please respect copyright.PENANAMnKGccAKgQ
Swiftly Joshua Morelli has him pinned against the wall. I feel Jay rush over, demanding to know what happened in my ear and checking my body for any clues. I'm still processing, I didn't realise he hated me with such venom. Tom is spiteful and bitter.
37Please respect copyright.PENANAQTJAmIPucl
"Pardon? No way to talk to a women" I hear Joshua saying.
37Please respect copyright.PENANAR5OuJ9E5A9
He shoves him hard against the wall and let's him go.
"I think you should leave" he adds.
37Please respect copyright.PENANAcq8sSNMrwc
"Tay, are you okay?" Jay asks and I look up at him.
37Please respect copyright.PENANA22EPQuWkib
"Yes can we go?" I ask.
37Please respect copyright.PENANA2X8IPKMJEx
Tom saunters off. And I'm glad to see the back of him.
"Thanks" I say weakly.
"I think he sprained my wrist" I say shocked looking down at my bruised wrist.
"When it happened I couldn't feel it but I sure can now" I say and a tear escapes my eye.
37Please respect copyright.PENANAysiPKFjWyE
Jay pursues him instantly, losing his cool completely. I see him grab him from afar and I rush over. The commotion attracts everybody's attention, without any hesitation Jay smacks him with his fist across his face.
37Please respect copyright.PENANAiSap747FfQ
Josh rushes in and pulls Jay back and Ross drags Tom in the other direction.
"Enough" I hear Josh say.
"Not worth your time" Josh reiterates.
37Please respect copyright.PENANACwGer38Ut0
Jay shrugs Josh off and I'm sure I hear him thank him.
He comes straight over to me shaking off his wrist which he just used on Tom's face. He inspects my wrist, and I wince.
37Please respect copyright.PENANAg6QVJWfJm1
"It's fractured" he says.
37Please respect copyright.PENANABRl1BdAZAI
"It's because I was pulling and he yanked me back" I say.
37Please respect copyright.PENANACTnFeR9IZu
"Fucking asshole" he says.
"Let's get it checked out" he says to me watching me closely and we leave swiftly.
I nod to Josh and he pulls me in for a hug before I pursue after Jay, my man on a mission.
