Adore me- the fourth novel

Chapter 10 - you're engaged ?

We do have a new car, well actually it's my designated car. It's red and it's not majorly fancy because I know how to rein Jay in. When he gets that look in his eyes, the one where he impulsively buys stuff that we do not need. The car is modern and has all of the gadgets you could need but it's not a show off car. It's a mini clubman, it's a little bit bigger than a classic mini and I love it.

I've parked up at university in our usual spot and Jay has enjoyed being a backseat driver the whole trip. I let him get away with it because waking up to him is a dream especially when he's in a playful mood.

After kissing me everywhere he swiftly began pleasuring me. We then showered together and he made breakfast. I'm wearing my ring, and I smile looking down at it. I must not lose it even at dance. Today it's warm and I've got on a mini skirt and cami top, my tan will not be rivalled by anybodies today which I've developed from our trip to Australia. I'm wearing my hair down in long cascading waves and I've got a bit of lipstick and blush on.

"Ready to go see the others" he nods looking over at Matty and Ross. I glance at Jay, his hair has grown and he's tied half of it up with a band. He's wearing a collection of bracelets and a white T-shirt. You can see his nipple ring and tattoos through the shirt. It's distracting me, to say the least.

"Yeah why not" I say and then I lean into him and kiss his lips. Stroking his arms with my fingertips.

"Mmmm or we could just stay here in the car" he smiles winking at me.

I laugh and open my door stepping out into the warm air. Away from our air conditioned car. He gets out the other side and pulls his bag over his shoulder.
Once I've locked up our car he walks in step with me and grasps my hand in his as we head over to the others. My tummy flips a little not only at the feeling of his hand in mine but also seeing the others and their reaction to our engagement.

"Tay" Ross smiles his easy smile on our approach. His arms are already extended and I smile back at him. Ross always makes me feel welcome and wanted. He makes me feel special.

"Hey" I say giving him a small hug and then swiftly putting some distance between us. He grasps my hand and eyes the rock smiling.

"Oh that is quite something" he says to Jay.

"It's beautiful" he says to me.

I dare not look at Matty. Not a chance.

"What's Sydney like ?" Ross asks me and I am grateful for the distraction.

"It's hot" I laugh.

"You both have wicked tans" Ross says easing the atmosphere, something that he is expert at.

"And new tattoos" he laughs.

"Yeah, impulsive" I smile.

I pull my top slightly to show off the date on my ribs.
"It's the date of the engagement" I say stealing a quick glance at Matty.

"Congratulations both of you" Matty finally says rather formally. He takes a drag on his cigarette and then swiftly stubs it out. He smiles briefly and pulls his leather jacket on and walks away to art.

"That went well" I say quietly.

Ross laughs a little and then grabs his bag putting his motorcycle helmet away.

"Anything new?" I ask while we're all walking to psychology.

"Not really actually. Oh are you still up for the show and getting pierced this weekend by the way" he asks.

"Yes sure" I say smiling.

I like making him smile it's infectious. I'm holding onto Jays hand and I can feel his fingers intertwined with mine. We sit in our normal seats in psychology.
Just as the lights dip and the lecture begins Jay leans into me.
