Walking up the steps to psychology, in my pale blue skirt, trainers and leotard for dance I sigh. There's a clash, Jay has an exam for his finals. We spent an extra fifteen minutes together in the car, me wishing him luck and him kissing me. And now I'm running late too class.

I rush down the now empty corridor and creak the lecture hall door open, I spot my seat next to Ross and head to it. Sitting down next to him quietly, I've already warned myself that this would feel different. We crossed that physical boundary last night. And we haven't spoken since. We need to speak, I plan that in my head. Instead of thinking about the heat between us. The feel of his hands grasping on my hips, his lips crushing into mine.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYJA0o9cdA
"You okay" he says and I'm infuriated, not now Ross. Let's just get through this lecture.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLYj7SffzW
"Yes" I say instead.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZzY2BLiex
"You good" I say not daring to look at him.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnWr04jvi1
"Mhmm" he says softly.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtW12tQ9OGI
The lecture carries on as if we had never even spoken. I cross my legs over and write notes. Letting my hair fall like a veil in between us. I watch the clock every now and again waiting for it to be over.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgrgxwuu9h
Ross scrawls some important points on his notepad, he doesn't stare at me and he doesn't make me uncomfortable. And somehow all I can think about is him. I continually make notes and as we finish up I look up admiring the sheer amount I've written. It's the most I have ever written down in a lecture.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UQXgKHCxx
I pack my bag, still not looking at him.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xEeJnecvN
"Taylor" he says softly and it is my undoing.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbR3cjExUGk
I look at him finally, anxiety etched over his features.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhUaFWiWEL
"I'm sorry I didn't mean for this to ruin things" he says softly.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHW2UkdG5TD
"You have no reason to apologise. If anything it's a me problem. I'm sorry, not for what we did. But for making things weird" I say looking at him.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTjLnnN7K5
The tension eases from his features.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAFOUQTVF7
"Hot chocolate or a latte" he asks.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0Fi7ljWS4
"Let's go" I say smiling at him.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlNDrqCTgf
I walk behind him through the halls. He pushes his blonde hair back, my eyes watch his broad shoulders work through the crowd. When we're finally out of the building we walk up to the coffee shop. I text Jay, he's still got two hours left in his exam.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFYFRZrWiB
Ross holds the coffee shop door open and I walk in hoping nobody we know is here. Because I want to talk to just him.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Z6IhII26A
He orders us drinks and we take a seat upstairs on the sofas. I sit back and sip my hot chocolate first.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvip3rJaIW
"Thanks" I say to him, for the drink.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDrNFJgUSp
"You never have to thank me" he laughs.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92ohx2bQG5
I turn my body to face his.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1uGOOkx5o
"Ross, perhaps I should have properly considered things before we did all that last night. Our circumstances I mean." I say to begin.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwO9LSX2uFP
"We have a lot of history, romantically speaking. And it wasn't fair of me" I begin.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQZpD9UN0o
"We do, I'm not gonna sit here and pretend I don't love you. But" he says and a smile plays across his lips.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTw4ackPiG
"But I knew exactly the deal" he says softly and his hand caresses my cheek. I close my eyes, feeling his touch on my skin.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlFESt2Z1o
"I loved it" I whisper before I can stop myself.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQyjpHihDh
"I loved it" he whispers.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04Y9CXIpbm
His fingers graze my lips, and I get all in my head. Remembering what Jay said, about being present when I'm flirting or being naughty. I softly take his hand in mine and place it down off of me.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡja0xMeG1wp
He smiles and sips his coffee.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwvDRk83g4
"So we're all good?" I say to him.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDtkEx4CvY
"We're all good" he says looking at me.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUDiL4oMjF
"Good" I say smiling slightly.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyvDE5HoCl
"Where is Jay?" He says no inflection in his tone.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjUxP0C1et
"He's actually got a final exam" I clarify and he nods his head.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhXHVzCDoG
We sit in comfortable silence, he crosses one leg over his knee and I tell myself to focus on anything other than last night.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmG25IXx7I
"Taylor we're all good I promise" he says after I've been silent for a while.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Po8P5rJK3
"I know" I say facing him again.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqUecRyOG4
His eyes assess me.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGepwRgUv3
"Do you really love me?" I ask, for once addressing his claim. He looks at me, his hand on my thigh.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3gYByCItR
"I have loved you from the very beginning" he says.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADg8QieR72
I look away, at anything but him. I'm so selfish treating him like this, giving him parts of me as and when it suits me.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZAVVBjzg5
"I understand though. And for a while I've thought about this; I know that you're in love with Jay. I know that you're going to marry him and have a life with him. And of course I'm jealous. That's natural, but I put aside my jealousy to keep you in my life because I love you. What we did together doesn't change anything, I just got to have a part of you. And I'm happy with that." He says and I listen to him.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ucDFbCkAM
"I know you have feelings for me, but I also know that you love Jay. You wouldn't be able to fake what we did, or the kiss we shared in the hospital. I can feel how you feel about me through those things" he says and I look at him.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUQoHQcBSl
Physical attraction is different to what I feel for Ross. Physical attraction is just one small part of it. I've always been physically attracted to him. But there is more to this. Something in the way he turns to me when things are rough, when he trusts me with everything, or when he continues to be there for me even though he probably shouldn't.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTYxBSVG7x
"Would you prefer it if I didn't do those things" I ask quietly.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5JxSU92S3
"No" he says softly and his hands cup my chin.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLv0OKb9Ms
"Don't move" he says softly.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJXA1jTbAn
"Just count this one as if it happened last night" he smiles and then he kisses me lightly on my lips. I almost tell him off, instead I turn to face the table blushing.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVpXZ70AF4
"What bit did you enjoy the most last night" I ask him after a minute.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzOiMoo0Ho
"My head being here" he says and his hand hovers over the space in between my legs.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWy3IZbzxGp
He puts an arm around me and places his mouth near my ear.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLmfwZaSCn
"I enjoyed making you go all over my mouth. I enjoyed you moaning and telling me that you liked it" he whispers.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCogzHpN4js
"What did you enjoy" he whispers hand still on my thigh.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsXJyMKnMp
"I enjoyed kissing you and touching you, making you go in my hands. And I loved sucking you whilst being filled by Jay" I say softly looking at him. A wide smile goes across his lips.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKR2t8yTbal
"Naughty" he whispers and his lips are right there.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAec5a2K0MR
He just stares at me and I look into his eyes.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtt6DiDlIBt
"We should join the others" I say softly and he nods. I know he wants to kiss me, but letting him kiss me again would be wrong. So I put distance between us. We grab our things and then leave.
