I bought the dress in hot pink, I'm planning on wearing it tonight. I'm driving, Ross is lounging back in the passenger seat. He bought a book and he's reading it and I can't help but to glance at him from time to time.

I park up at the house, noticing that Jays ranger is here. I feel a massive pang of guilt deep in my gut. I turn the car off and hop out. Grabbing the bags from the boot and heading up to the door. The sun has set and the heat has eased off.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUXUpXCfiJ
I walk into the kitchen to Matty and Jay, shirtless cooking lasagne. I can't help myself but to chuckle. They might as well be sharing a bottle of red.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30tcIq6UTa
"My wife" Jay says still looking at the pan of meat he's frying up. They have been drinking whiskey not wine.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrK9a3AWB7
Matty eyes me, smiling. He's chopping up basil. I'm impressed.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElZTkYFUFT
"Jay" I say wrapping my arms around him from behind. The conundrum is whether I tell him about Ross, it's the morally right thing to do. It's important that he knows but I don't want him to hit Ross. And moreover it will not be happening again. We will be married and that will be that.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMZSOnA4ou
He turns to face me putting his wooden spoon down. Kissing me and running his hands through my hair.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRExANRYz95
"Mmm" he says.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmNQ6QC3g0
"Mmm indeed" I reply softly.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dYR4QTjJR
"Ugh I want a glass of wine" I whine and he smiles.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4TVYaPCY2
"This is the first time I've like missed wine" I say.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKWu4O0M2j
"Ahhh baby" he says softly kissing my forehead. He moves his hands over my waist, holding onto Caleb and smiling.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdXfi8Wv5V
"I love you, that smells amazing" I smile.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ALMngujEb
"I love you" he chuckles.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcUYhnkcGn
"How was your car" he smiles.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5vwAKxgHl
"It was amazing" I smile up at him and he squeezes my bum inconspicuously.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTik1xtrqt
"We bought loads" Rachel comes in sunglasses on her head. Her tan looks darker and I can't help it but I cringe slightly. Lord it's still developing, how deep will it get in the next couple hours.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDaUqFtpnh
"Jesus Christ" Jay says looking at her.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbS3cObpab
"Rachel you're very ugh dark" Matty says and she swats him.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3HPPJiDod
"What colour did you go for" I ask, I will not laugh. I love her.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWvnRpVhmV
"I went for dark" she says.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRJi56pc25
"The lady went on about some crap about being pale but I wanna see it" she says.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrU1EY0yPra
"I only go for medium silly" I say.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbHt5vZuiO
"Why didn't you tell me" she laughs.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Z1ijFCvX0
"You know it's gonna get darker" I say. She freaks looking in the hall mirror.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdFSSpjq8s
"Oompa Loompa" she laughs.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEFbuay6mH
"Fuck" she says.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKMYt8lU4k
I pull my phone out.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVF9aqxeQ1O
"Look best bet, put on some oil and then have a long bath" I say looking online for advice.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsYtt1QlTM
She hurries upstairs, Nate takes a seat, pouring some whiskey.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31zQULHIVr
"I'm gonna let her deal before I go up" he laughs and I chuckle.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3r9neDSdxD
"I'll go help" I laugh. Jay pulls me back lightly. I smile and kiss him.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXAcBox3zB
"Don't be gone too long" he says softly.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxDz1zhRUC
"I'll be back before you know it" I smile.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWHXsVDQOy
I catch Ross' eye as I walk out. He's pulled his shirt off, and I try my best not to look at him too closely.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoioe07jHKL
I head upstairs and knock before I go in.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoVZA2fXpo
"Yep" she says softly. Rachel is never soft.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREdxO1H7Uj
"Can I come in" I ask.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAH2zKAWZxw
"Sure" she says.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiQXc5jWaS
I step in and she's sobbing and I feel awful.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fKhGKkcAc
"You're good at this and everything and I'm rubbish I get things wrong all the time" she sighs.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnfTdMZgoN
"Don't be silly" I say, placing my arm around her shoulder.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSZge3Gm1t
"Ross can't even look at me." She says.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrFi6uKy3R
"Because he's Ross. He doesn't do casual sex" I say.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjY10CqpHi6
"Yeah but I don't want to ruin our friendship" she says.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUSniDBJi6
"You haven't, he's just being Ross" I say.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CdtoMw7wp
"Now let's sort out this tan" I say pacing into the en-suite and grabbing some coconut oil.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3piIyy2yS
"Go put it on" I say.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy83D88x9C8
"Then get in the bath" I explain.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3e0Tx85QO9
"I'll be just next door, I'm not about to join the whiskey men's club down stairs" I laugh.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpkvV5EWXs
"You're the best" she says wiping her eyes as she stands and heads to the bath.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZR81WeQmYn
I smile and place my head in my hands sitting on the bed. As soon as I hear the water running I head into mine and Jay's room. I hang my dress up and place my new hot pink dress on the bed ready to change into.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNj46gq0sVz
I head into my own en-suite and shower. Washing away all of the heat and stickiness of the day. When I climb out I take my own advice and oil my skin and hair. If I can't drink tonight I'm going to dance. And that means doing my hair, putting on lashes and my new dress. Oh and my new heels.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfC0pr5nr4
I dry my hair and put on some makeup. I dress in hot pink lace lingerie. Jay will go wild. And I slide into my dress. As I'm fastening my heels I hear a knock at the door.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg19l07wASX
"Yep" I say.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBM2h6a4Xf5
"Hey snap" Rachel says. Of course we're both wearing the dress.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHq9mA8iLe
"See the tan looks much much better" I compliment her.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTc8O1Zxtz
"Thanks Tay" she says.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAMjn7F1Cq
"For everything" she smiles.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2QInZwr92
"Now let's go and eat Jay and Matty's creation" I laugh.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCN1BN7Jmh9
"Are you worried?" She laughs.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEr8zTHVlxN
"Oh it will be edible" I say.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmj9t6iTgh
I follow her out and downstairs.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuNjj1s77R
"You look beautiful Rachel" Nate says and I smile at him. That's just the confidence boost she needed.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qMBZiefmS
"You have the same dress" Nate laughs.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu97YSEG3xr
I look over at Jay lounging by the counter with his whiskey. His eyes travel over my legs in the heels and up to my lips. He crosses the room, and kisses me softly on the lips he was just staring at. He's so assertive and dynamic. His shirt is still off and I can feel his smooth skin under my hands.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rEZcH01TM
"Bad that I wanna take it off?" He whispers in my ear.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEegascAD6e
"My lingerie matches" I say teasing him.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspSvoHUaRk
"Oh Taylor" he sighs. And I want to tell him to take me right here right now.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYha510eLbj
"That's just mean" he smirks.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyQKphYtnC
"How's the food" I ask him. And he looks at me as if he's just remembered that he's cooking. I smile.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwQcBfdRqY
I walk over to the cooker and he smiles. It smells divine. He pulls out the lasagne and actually it looks perfect.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4KszdXof8
"I made you something" he smiles.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNSxUajlFv
"It's a mocktail" he smiles.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPfFs9iwFE
"An alcohol free sangria" he says pulling out a cocktail jug.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7Baxlhj2E
I wipe my eyes and Rachel scoffs.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkb1bMLefOA
"Hormonal Taylor is back people" she laughs.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCo4xpdl2rA
"You just wait until the day comes when you can't drink for nine months" I laugh. I taste Jay's mocktail and actually it's great. Refreshing.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJc5msfopA
"Thank you" I whisper to him and he kisses me.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ941hgReRhS
"Now sit and relax, I've got this" he says.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8osvGGlNRC
"I even made a salad" he smiles. I kiss him passionately.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaYFOSViyY
"Mmm" he sighs.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehj0PgB0pu
"Don't distract me" he smiles.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7YWmZSvXP
"Okay, I love you so much" I say and I think I'm about to cry again. I wipe my eyes and he caresses Caleb in my tummy smiling.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKEN7AHRs3
"I love you both" he says, and I know everybody is listening in on us. He rubs my tummy and I want him. I kiss him again softly.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVW4WwV2q1f
"Taylor, you're not being fair" he smiles moving me over to the pan and beginning to plate up with me wrapped around his waist.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXwUc1wGXu
"I'll put the plates out" I say as he's finishing up.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFa6NHEW9ms
I place them one by one at the table along with the bowl of salad.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIyZKDK7Rx
"I'm done with being distant because people are around" I whisper in his ear and he chuckles.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91TyBX9UCH
He sits down and I sit on his lap at the table. I need him.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIMXmucwnH
"Have you missed each other or something" Rachel laughs.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJr1xHvvc7f
"Hugely" he replies eating some Lasagne.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65cD2WnUxz
I sit in his lap feeling his arms around my waist. Focusing on our life and our unborn child. I fork up some lasagne myself and eat. Sip some of my mocktail sangria and face him. He feeds me a forkful and I swallow.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQP7eAlZiFN
"Jay" Rach says.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGvpYeV77C
"Were you always this person or do you think Taylor made you different" she asks and I get what she means. The Jay she fell for would never show any girl this kind of treatment.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1VDrGQF79
"That's a really good question" he laughs.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPjiVywIXk
"Hands down Jay you've always been like this" Matty laughs.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8xLc28mgn
I smile at him and Jay feeds me another piece of lasagne. I dare not look at Ross.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8salkAKsP
"Let's just say Taylor made me reconnect with a part of myself I thought I'd gotten rid of" he laughs.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidrnvx90s7
"What the human part" Rachel laughs.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Nk3jB5haV
"Actually you're not wrong there" he says and I stroke his hair back.
"The part of me that trusts other people and cares for them. The part of me that shows people I love them and that I need them. The part that wants to make someone feel special" he says and I rub his arm.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HqYeCnMs8
"Because obviously" she looks at Nate briefly. He nods aware that they dated. I feed him lasagne and then look down at my plate.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAA1qRSV2qy
"I mean you didn't even own a spatula and now you're cooking lasagne." She smiles.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pJl3BHPg4
"I owned a spatula I just didn't use it" he laughs.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuNzMfLuCw
I kiss him and he downs his whiskey; stroking my thigh.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IH89H9NQh
“I’m sorry Rachel you are right though I’ve changed since then. And I am sorry for being such a dick with you” he says and it’s genuine.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYOCnF4g8G
He tops up his whiskey.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzo4et6rtS
“No apologies needed” she smiles.
