Taylor's POV
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gQ99oyOFT
As I glance over at Matthew, driving us back home, he had collected me from Jay's and I am almost positive that he's uncomfortable with my being around him. Regarding his tense expression, I decide that telling him about the blood is not the best idea. I watch him grip onto the wheel before he indicates into our road.

"How was art" I say softly rubbing his thigh and he relaxes next to me.

"It was okay, we should stay off university for a bit" he says eyeing me warily concern shadowing his face in the gloomy dark car. The street lights illuminate his cheekbones as he passes by and I watch him.

"It's tiring you out Taylor; we need to take it easy. I cant always be there for you if I'm distracted with art or exhibits or anything else" he explains, we have a couple of weeks before Christmas break and I need to fulfil my role in the dance performance. I protest and he pulls up in the drive coming around to my side and helping me out of the car.

My absolute first thought is to check on the blood in the bathroom as we head into the house. I practically bound up the stairs and lock myself in the bathroom. Pulling at my clothes worried, I strip off and eye my bump in the mirror. Turning to the side and seeing the curve protrude from my tummy I smile. I stroke over bump and feel a sense of relief that there is no fresh new blood to be found. Pulling on Matthew’s striped button up shirt I descend the wooden staircase intent on relieving his worries, now that mine have also been eased.

Watching him from the door, I lean on the wooden frame and he looks up smiling. I had changed into his shirt, the button up one that I wear continually. The buttons just stretching around the bump as I wear it in front of him. His arms encircle me in the hall and he carries me up the stairs, his mouth to mine.

"Sorry for being heavy handed" he whispers laying me down on our bed and moving the shirt up to kiss down my belly. I giggle and he smiles up at me.

"University is important, I just worry." He sighs and I place my hands through his hair.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10tPqOUr6W
"I'm happy that you were safe and warm and eating pizza instead of sitting waiting in the cold too" he admits and a small smiles stretches across my lips.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhuFb6z8hQ
"I thank him for that at least" he sighs and chuckles. Rubbing his back softly as he lays in my chest I feel his breathing deepen and smile. I pull my hands through his curls and he sighs before kissing me sleepily. Matthew rolls over and I check my phone briefly, intending on googling spotting and blood during the second trimester. Glancing through my messages I notice one from Gilbert Scott.

You left your ice cream here. Jay x
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlaEsbViuC
I tap a message back to him smiling and wait for his reply.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPy5E7d5tZe
You are more than welcome to my ice cream. Fancy another revision session in a couple weeks. We need to catch Ross up x
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRkoMCTlNB
I send back to him and eagerly await his reply.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpJMGGWCKg
You're a square. Don't worry I'm eating it right this very moment. Yes curry this time? Do you like curry?x
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6s6IybG8h
He replies and I smirk looking down at my phone in the dark. Running my hands through Matthew’s hair as I read it.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjGXvMjtpK
Yes I'll make you one, better than any takeout I promise x
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDxRrupOvU
I type back and Matthew huddles closer to me.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIceHFE9rMX
Wish I could call you and describe this ice cream to you, it's exquisite just like you and your cooking x
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXThs3YzB6a
Flattery gets you everywhere doesn’t it I smirk and type my reply.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRg7gg8rL6
I thought you said you wouldn't call me anymore x
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EzKdJ5sAH
I tease him and smile down at my phone.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRffz0RsTbc
Well are you being naughty Taylor or good Taylor. It's a factor I'll have to weigh up before I hit the call button x
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJkbB7a5Gd
I consider that for a brief minute; what does Jay like about me I wonder. Good girl taylor or the girl that sighs down the phone. I decide to test him.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5niy2G6Or
Good girl Taylor x
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0NgNKk3wL
I reply looking up at the ceiling and waiting for his response.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYyyMgMq1D
That's irresistible please can I call you x
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAAuWCuIWp
Before I can stop myself I pace downstairs to the kitchen and place the iron kettle on the stove before messaging him back telling him yes.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBZVYSMYaR
“I thought you liked my bad side” I whisper to him as the call connects and he chuckles.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53tn85ygCB
“I like all of it” he whispers and I laugh.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcAdtBT0fg
“Can I tell you something” he smiles down the line.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmn6bXRyWzg
“Go ahead” I whisper.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hGOGbJ29Z
There’s a pause before he speaks, he’s forming his words. Working out how to convey his ideas.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3dY5WCu0Y
“You're the best friend I've ever had. You include me in shit and you make incredible food. You are mad talented and you make me feel comfortable. You care about people” he says earnestly and I’m caught off guard, staring out of the dim kitchen window and wondering what has brought this on.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMqavokntj
“Plus...” he says cheekily and I giggle.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfk8WwIrwQ
“Plus…” I repeat to him waiting for him to get it off his chest, standing and heading to the stove to pour myself some green tea.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYBA3rHYlB
“Plus you kinda were my first” he laughs.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnZbAFMGIS
“That’s a lie” I smirk
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEMvIUjelY
“You were my first ever phone sex, it's a first I can't forget” he chuckles and I laugh.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUox1pVMp6
“Now I know why you cannot look at me” I sigh and he laughs openly.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1dJxq4Eio
“Oh Taylor, It's all I can do but to look at you,or think about it when I'm alone eating ice cream like a bloody lovesick dog” he laughs and I chortle.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZ44ZCGkvr
“What can I say you caught me at the wrong time, I was already busy” I whisper and I can feel the smile stretch across his lips.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eC9oEgUnZ
“Maybe we can just do it together next time?” He whispers and I smile down into my lap.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpyi56SoEj
“Jay” I say softly and he shh’s me before laughing.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7qL5kfDJR
“You’re biting that lip aren’t you” he sighs.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcboobawrt1
“Not at all” I smirk and he sighs.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPi2qfZhSC
“Are you eating the ice cream still” I ask and he laughs.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRmEXP5Ef4
“I am good choice by the way” he says softly.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORcgtlSNjg
“Taylor where have you visited in the world” he asks me out of the blue.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygUu9rwLcN
“We didn’t really go on holidays, my mum being a single parent was unable to take me to lots of places. Other than around the states and to Canada” I explain.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTziNeJeMjC
“Canada is nice weirdly I haven’t really visited there much. I would love to take you to Australia” he begins getting carried away with himself.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAegZ8bMFkl
“There’s so many open spaces, there’s the outback and deserts and of course kangaroos” he giggles and I listen to him intently.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcouGaY8wCn
“Surfing and good food” he smiles down the phone.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrPY3cvipo
“One day huh” he says and I giggle. Who knew that Gilbert Scott was so into travelling and culture.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxiRM4w3Gj
“I’m going to let you sleep” he laughs almost self consciously.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXI8GpHt0gI
“My ego can’t take you falling asleep on the phone again” he laughs.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDn0u2huiH
“Good night Jay” I whisper and he sighs happily.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9iTKIpLvK
“Good night Taylor” he whispers back before we end the call.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxga1ReTMM
With my phone placed down on the table I check that the stove is off before I take my warm cup of tea up the wooden stairs to bed. Undeniably Jay Gilbert Scott has changed towards me in a way that I could not have imagined. Professing that he wants to take me to foreign lands and essentially whisk me away is a grande statement. I’m not entirely sure that he extends that kind of invitation to other women and it makes me grow curious. Wondering how I have been able to illicit this response from him at all, that is indeed if he is being genuine. Before I fall asleep I finish my tea, it calms my nerves and the bubbling excitement that has taken ahold of me.
