Closeness

***Matty's POV***

I wake up first for once, she's clearly tired from all of my shit the past few days.

I check my phone quickly, a message from Ross.

"I'm still so fucked off with you though I'm still your mate. I think it would be best for you to tell her, if you care you will. Better from you than somebody else"

Slight threat in there I guess that he will just tell her himself. I don't want to have to tell her, of course I don't. I'm not sure how she will react I know it will hurt her and I promised I wouldn't. I go through scenarios where I can tell her, how I can say it. Ross has a point I can't deny that, he always gives the best advice. I come up blank time and time again. I'm just going to keep her away from it all. Safely in my arms, where nothing can come in between us. Including my own stupidity.

She stirs and I ditch my phone.

"Good morning babe" I tell her kissing her lips.

She kisses me back. "Morning, Matty".

"Did you sleep okay" I ask.

"Yes I always do here" she says.

"I hope you actually slept last night" she teases me.

"I got a couple hours" I laugh.

I pull her on top of me so she's straddling me. She hugs me her arms coming around me. It's not always about sex with us, yes a lot of the time it is. But not always. It's these moments in-between that change everything for me, this closeness. I've not had this before. She kisses my neck and I close my eyes. I just wanna stay in this moment forever.

"We're gonna go get you some of your own things today for when you're staying over here, let's go to IKEA we can eat meatballs" I pitch to her.

She laughs.

"I'd love too" she smiles "also I need to get some accessories for my dress up outfit for Friday night" she tells me.

"For the party" she clarifies looking at my dumb expression.

"Oh yeah what you going as babe?" I ask

"An angel" she tells me blushing

"It was Rhea's idea she said to just be a slutty angel and she's going to be a devil" she laughs

I all but pass out. Lord she's gonna literally look out of this world. How am I gonna manage the others around her.

"What are you wearing" she asks me

"Nah dress up parties aren't for guys" I tell her

She swats me "do better" she laughs.

"Right let me shower and then I'll be ready" she tells me smiling.

"only if I can get in with you" I wink at her.

She pulls me to the bathroom.

I take my T-shirt off of her revealing her naked body in front of me. I want her all the time. I put the shirt in the wash and tell her she can borrow another one later when we get back. She walks into the shower and i get undressed and follow her in.

I'm astounded I mean who knew she would look this good soaking wet. I push her wet hair back and kiss her under the shower she returns my kiss wholeheartedly.

I grab the soap and put some on my hands, I work it into her shoulders. She closes her eyes relaxing into my touch. I massage down her chest, over her nipples.

"Turn around babe" I tell her.

She obliges facing the other way from me. Now I concentrate on her back rubbing her shoulders. I put my hands around her waist and caress her tummy. I remember her talking about having a big bump the other day before we went for the emergency contraception and right now I can't help but think about it. I pull the thought out of my head. For now.

She notices me holding onto her tummy. She turns around to glance at me and smiles.

"Okay I'm going to wash you now" she says turning around.

She moves her delicate hands over my body. I'm so relaxed, I feel like everything I've been worrying about has disappeared under her touch. I reopen my eyes, I couldn't imagine being this close to her.

After kissing her for I don't know how long in the shower, I quickly step out to get her a towel. I wrap it around her. And then I get one for around my waist.

***Taylor's POV***

Waking up to possibly the hottest guy I've ever met and sharing a shower with him has to be a new high for me. I've dried my hair and put on a little bit of blush and mascara. When I got out the curling wand Matty decided enough was enough and has gone down to start breakfast.

I haven't even so much as glanced at my phone. After changing into a dark brown jumper dress sheer tights and boots I sit down briefly and look at my phone.

Ross has messaged me.

<i>Hey Tay, sorry for the drama earlier. I just miss you. That's it. Hope you're okay and please reach out to me if you need me in any way xxx</i>

Not sure what to say back to him; thanks? Or I miss you too? But is that leading him on?

I decide to reply with thanks for always being there for me and a kiss.

I also message Rhea about our double date tomorrow.

I go downstairs, I can hear Matty singing along to Pearl jam in the kitchen. A smile spreads across my face. We eat together in our usual spots at the table.

"You scrub up well babe" Matty laughs teasing me

"So do you" I jibe back. He's wearing a polo shirt today and jeans. His brown hair is tousled back off of his face.

He brushes my leg under the table with his hand.

"These are nice" he says not able to keep his hands away from my legs.

"They're hold ups babe" I tease him. He bites his lip.

I'm wearing stockings, my red knickers and bra from when we first met. I was hoping to impress him. Later.

I stand up and clear the table, deliberately bending over to load the dishwasher. I can hear his sharp intake of breath as he watches me. I turn around to see him staring and he winks at me. He's so cheeky.

He rolls up a few cigarettes and then we head for the car. I could get used to being around him all the time.
