Taylor's POV
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyKS3g2v1g
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.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlg4npy8j7
"University is important, I just worry." He sighs and I place my hands through his hair.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vkOy9qQ5p
"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.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHZqAKMLJ8
"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
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3b32vCr93O
I tap a message back to him smiling and wait for his reply.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzsUZuATyr
You are more than welcome to my ice cream. Fancy another revision session in a couple weeks. We need to catch Ross up x
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJL8Gwlokm
I send back to him and eagerly await his reply.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhd9PKLaoCp
You're a square. Don't worry I'm eating it right this very moment. Yes curry this time? Do you like curry?x
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOQHqllitO
He replies and I smirk looking down at my phone in the dark. Running my hands through Matthew’s hair as I read it.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QtqiB5Qku
Yes I'll make you one, better than any takeout I promise x
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciNcuSEB3c
I type back and Matthew huddles closer to me.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7k68GORac
Wish I could call you and describe this ice cream to you, it's exquisite just like you and your cooking x
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUkl0Idfvc
Flattery gets you everywhere doesn’t it I smirk and type my reply.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeYvMYO7x3
I thought you said you wouldn't call me anymore x
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvFSLKRfwt
I tease him and smile down at my phone.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Iq35z4hXp
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
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWkOlhKFYP
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.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AT7R3hVid
Good girl Taylor x
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eptXv4B0j
I reply looking up at the ceiling and waiting for his response.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiCzxskTTn
That's irresistible please can I call you x
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICIZI635Hp
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.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzJjOEBwlz
“I thought you liked my bad side” I whisper to him as the call connects and he chuckles.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubMjXo31Fn
“I like all of it” he whispers and I laugh.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhIczsvl8E
“Can I tell you something” he smiles down the line.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZx8d960gOP
“Go ahead” I whisper.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9p8NPBE6b
There’s a pause before he speaks, he’s forming his words. Working out how to convey his ideas.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuegXd1ygG6
“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.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiEUoz5Xj8
“Plus...” he says cheekily and I giggle.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBVw23pcZq
“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.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnA38a0KTb
“Plus you kinda were my first” he laughs.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAChqknIWG
“That’s a lie” I smirk
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRcnsxlgVd
“You were my first ever phone sex, it's a first I can't forget” he chuckles and I laugh.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0t7hm236JA
“Now I know why you cannot look at me” I sigh and he laughs openly.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLkWGSZ3ei
“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.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlrMmlelFR
“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.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCAaGCoNoj
“Maybe we can just do it together next time?” He whispers and I smile down into my lap.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMn17H2n4PO
“Jay” I say softly and he shh’s me before laughing.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSmJP3GYN8
“You’re biting that lip aren’t you” he sighs.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKq095scOC
“Not at all” I smirk and he sighs.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIABGlKXliq
“Are you eating the ice cream still” I ask and he laughs.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbVb9H4KOa
“I am good choice by the way” he says softly.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIqjgniv8m
“Taylor where have you visited in the world” he asks me out of the blue.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitZQbbhDRe
“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.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeFIFDTNIV
“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.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNL5yygAHkH
“There’s so many open spaces, there’s the outback and deserts and of course kangaroos” he giggles and I listen to him intently.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGXr6iGjik
“Surfing and good food” he smiles down the phone.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6iNd5xmDi
“One day huh” he says and I giggle. Who knew that Gilbert Scott was so into travelling and culture.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVE4kHlIfO6
“I’m going to let you sleep” he laughs almost self consciously.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwPy3jG7gw
“My ego can’t take you falling asleep on the phone again” he laughs.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqgxzIrsgo
“Good night Jay” I whisper and he sighs happily.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1bugPT9Xe
“Good night Taylor” he whispers back before we end the call.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRZKhzAyOl
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.
