I didn't go home with Matty, I would have ended up in the same situation as before and I would never ever get to the end of this confusing predicament.

Speaking to Rhea helped me comes to terms with the loss of my unborn child. My phone illuminates on the bed and it's her now messaging me.
"Love you, let me know if you need any damn thing" she says. I smile back.
"Thanks hun, I'm all good honest just studying. Ignoring the fact that Ross is in the room next door to me" I send posting a smile emoji alongside it.
"Oh stop it" she replies.
71Please respect copyright.PENANAB1qr1ebJHJ
"Hey Tay" Ross calls out and I jump.
"What do you want for dinner" he asks.
71Please respect copyright.PENANAOeX6BEk2aX
I walk over to his door. In my shorts and t shirt. His eyes pop out of his head and I forget how easy it was living with a male you can be naked around.
"I'm cooking for you, want spaghetti bolognese?" I ask.
71Please respect copyright.PENANAj8Gp2GPsxu
I need pasta.
71Please respect copyright.PENANAyGpkBxvh5o
"Fuck yes I haven't had a home cooked meal in years" he laughs.
71Please respect copyright.PENANAw4YSFdg0zG
I head down and start cooking. Ross says he'll be down in a second.
My phone rings as I start cooking and it's Jay.
I answer.
"How is it you always catch me cooking" I say.
71Please respect copyright.PENANAHqiwR1vTY9
"Hey babe, I dunno maybe it's a sign or some shit" he laughs.
71Please respect copyright.PENANA0LzjFUEW7q
"A sign for?" I ask cheekily.
71Please respect copyright.PENANADfL9UdL747
"We should be cooking together" he says.
71Please respect copyright.PENANATDmK2lRpd0
I laugh.
"How I've missed your humour" I say back.
71Please respect copyright.PENANAMKsbPNjF3T
"How I miss you" he says seriously and my defences break away.
71Please respect copyright.PENANAwDnnD79r3q
"How much do you miss me ?" I ask him smiling.
71Please respect copyright.PENANAdwqshF0kXI
"A fucking lot. And you told me you loved me, Taylor" He says.
"But to be fair you were just a little drunk" he laughs.
71Please respect copyright.PENANAp0Dz65aAOc
I go quiet.
"I'm sorry if that's not what you wanted to hear" I say confused.
"You gave me the major cold shoulder this morning" I say.
71Please respect copyright.PENANApfwzwWPOvj
"Nope I wanted to hear it"
"From you and only you, but then you didn't talk to me after that at all so I felt like you were just I dunno embarrassed or some shit" he says. Talking to him gives me butterflies.
71Please respect copyright.PENANAZkyHIPzESd
"I wasn't as you can tell I was trying to sort myself out" I say quietly.
71Please respect copyright.PENANAgfONQM1npj
"Are you sorted out yet" he asks cryptically
71Please respect copyright.PENANAyhZYfEtzAw
"Nearly" I say.
71Please respect copyright.PENANAVnbSoo7qWh
"Mmm I want you right now" he says.
71Please respect copyright.PENANApaYxrdcTKl
I smile.
71Please respect copyright.PENANAbfpOGFWu6n
"Right now isn't gonna work I'm cooking" I tease.
71Please respect copyright.PENANAkGjNCkklxK
"If I was there you wouldn't be cooking" he smiles
71Please respect copyright.PENANABM87rUH5cs
"I like cooking" I say.
71Please respect copyright.PENANAGPrYkXj6KU
"Don't you like doing other things too" he says suggestively.
71Please respect copyright.PENANAPcb7lIMDMC
I clear my throat. I'm so turned on. He can tell, I can feel him smiling.
71Please respect copyright.PENANAS3akv9Wsji
"Okay baby I love you too and I'll see you tomorrow" he laughs.
71Please respect copyright.PENANAkKQktCfRJs
I'm shocked by how I nearly say no Jay don't hang up.
71Please respect copyright.PENANAtwZHJsCz9d
"Don't be a dick about it" I say instead.
71Please respect copyright.PENANAVjmpLOJoai
"I'm not I love you too" he says.
71Please respect copyright.PENANAGxFWglzfXc
"Dropping the L bomb a lot tonight aren't you." I tease.
71Please respect copyright.PENANA5Mpss47DMJ
"Am I not allowed to say it to you back?" He says smiling.
71Please respect copyright.PENANALshSlfq1H2
"You can say it" I say quietly.
71Please respect copyright.PENANAagcBDXZcIx
"Good. I'll see you tomorrow" he says.
71Please respect copyright.PENANArhRb07sAC7
"See you then" I say and hang up.
71Please respect copyright.PENANAmNySz5lPei
I finish the spaghetti smiling and mix in the beef and sauce. I think about Jay, he's confusing me. He tells me he loves me, then he acts cold. It reminds me of what Rach said once about him. Something like oh that's just typical Jay, difficult.
71Please respect copyright.PENANAMB3uWPFTQf
I text Rach that I'll be partying Friday. I look online for a new dress and find the perfect little black dress. Its strapless and short. I buy it and then realise I don't know where to ship it too.
71Please respect copyright.PENANAyfo2xHCgOl
"Ross what's the postcode" I ask him. He's on his way downstairs.
"I want to buy a dress for Friday" I explain when I see him.
71Please respect copyright.PENANAE3W3F2U8cM
He tells me it smiling.
"Oh that smells great" he laughs.
71Please respect copyright.PENANAzQdAivaoLw
I plate up his dinner and get him a beer.
71Please respect copyright.PENANAI3UTXI4dJh
"Thanks babe" he smiles.
71Please respect copyright.PENANAEgbVMEJ6eO
I sip my wine and sit in front of him.
We eat quietly. He enjoys the food I can tell.
"So party on Friday huh" he looks up at me smiling.
71Please respect copyright.PENANAa2iT2x6t5J
"Yes" I say drinking some more wine.
"I presume you're coming with me" I say cheekily.
71Please respect copyright.PENANACX45SNhZak
"Oh do you now" he laughs.
71Please respect copyright.PENANAnbjJ6iCyka
"Mhmm" I say briefly looking up at him smiling.
71Please respect copyright.PENANA4GCU6fYYD5
When we're finished I switch on his radio and clean up, he helps me. I hum and sing along to some of the songs.
Once we're done cleaning he stands by the kitchen counter.
"Babe if you really don't want to it's all good, but I'm going to smoke a spliff" he says watching me sip my wine.
71Please respect copyright.PENANAYMOaT9NCve
He grinds up the stuff in front of me. I lean next to him watching him roll up.
71Please respect copyright.PENANAapmUwFSqsP
He walks into the living room puts on Netflix, I follow him in and he puts an ashtray in front of me.
71Please respect copyright.PENANA49UurC1J0c
"Your choice" he smiles looking at the films.
71Please respect copyright.PENANAOabQF11G3u
He goes and gets some snacks and water.
When he returns he lights up and I remember it, the burn in your throat. I take a pull. It hits me almost instantly. I lean on him, feeling content and relaxed.
71Please respect copyright.PENANAhx1QiRAnmt
He smokes most of it because it doesn't affect him as much as it does me.
I choose a scary movie and he laughs.
He hands the spliff back to me and I have a bit more, feeling completely chill.
I tuck myself into his side resting my head on his chest.
71Please respect copyright.PENANAlHsANq9x9S
He asks if I want to share the last hit and I know what he means. He inhales the spliff and positions his mouth on mine as he blows the smoke into my mouth. I breathe him in.
Instantly remembering the first time we did this and ended up making out when we'd only just met.
71Please respect copyright.PENANArEnAmx1Iyq
I hold him close to me. Kiss his lips slowly with my own.
"Stop coming onto me, there's only so many times I can tell you no" he whispers.
71Please respect copyright.PENANAhoOxWLpGcb
I kiss him slowly again then pull away smiling. I watch the film and his hand rests on my bare thigh stroking me.
71Please respect copyright.PENANAV4mtrW6iDV
When the film ends we head up to our separate rooms, I linger in the hall with him hugging me and I wait for him to invite me into his bed. Although he doesn't.
71Please respect copyright.PENANAyx0E5jDVxq
I settle for the spare room, laying down. Because I'm high I fall asleep almost instantly.
71Please respect copyright.PENANAZx438KgXlX
***
71Please respect copyright.PENANAawy1SDpCe8
I wake up at 2 am again.
I feel so lonely and lost. I realise I'm still high when I can't remember where I am. I'm not used to my new surroundings yet.
71Please respect copyright.PENANATIADVjcX9l
I head into Ross' room.
He won't push me out completely, surely ?
I need his embrace, his arms and his chest.
I climb into his bed and he puts his arms around me. I'm just wearing a T-shirt.
71Please respect copyright.PENANAyr9wwn7NSD
He starts rubbing my back and I face him, my head in his chest.
"Taylor" he says.
"Whatever possessed you to crawl into my bed" he asks.
71Please respect copyright.PENANAR3w1QR4koQ
I chuckle.
"I need you" I say.
71Please respect copyright.PENANAxvU0K4W1AP
He kisses my forehead. I want so much, from him. But it's not fair, to want him. Because he wants me forever. And I want him right now.
71Please respect copyright.PENANAndx4vR7oFU
I kiss his chest. My hands on his bare back. He's only wearing boxers. I knew he got dressed yesterday to come and comfort me and my heart swells for him.
I decide I need him. Right now. I'm going to try one more time. If he's not interested then that's fine. I won't try again.
