Taylor's POV
"Can I just say" Rachel says drunkenly and I brace myself.
"Ross, he's got it bad" she says far too loudly and I shh her.
"Why's Ross got it bad" Joshua says and I shoot her a warning glare.
"Ahh here's the music, thanks poor taste in music human you are no longer required" I laugh.
He laughs, somebody grabs him thankfully. He gets pulled into another conversation.
"Ross has not" I say softly.
"He told me that you were all like let's be friends, and inside he was like fuck I'm in love with her" she mimics his soft drawl and I can't help but laugh.
"He talked about us" I say softly, looking at her she's an open book especially drunk.
"He did, let him down gently" she says
"Is it not obvious with the way his eyes are glued to you all the time" she says exasperated.
"I watched when he saw you tonight" she says.
"I think he went into shock Taylor" she laughs. I'm busy finding music and creating the playlist.
"I'm being serious, careful here" she smiles.
"Have fun but be clear" she says.
"I was clear, I told him I'm his friend" I smile.
"Are you though. I can tell you love Jay. I know that for sure. But do you not just have a teeny tiny crush on the other blonde hot guy who's still watching you by the way" she laughs.
"You already know the answer to that" I tell her.
I hit play. In my experience every body responds to old school songs. Cry me a river starts blasting in Joshua's house. Everybody instantly knows all of the words and starts dancing. Just like I knew they would. It's slightly cringe, but they're all drunk. And they're not even pretending to be cool now.
"You're right" I say to her as we're walking back to the guys.
"I need to protect Ross from me." I snicker looking at him watch me.
"But first dirty dancing to old school crappy songs are you down?" I say to her.
She smiles.
"Always" she replies.
"Okay you can busy Ross and Nate. I'll take Matty and Jay" I say planning.
"Taylor, can I just say. You are on fire lately, look at you. Who'd have thought that mild girl I met at a skatepark who was all like what's this when she was handed a spliff would blossom into this." She smiles a wicked smile.
"What can I say" I laugh.
"You grew on me" I say.
"Love you bestie" she says.
"Love you more" I smile.
"No Matthew" I say as she ingratiates herself with Ross.
I look at Jay and he's amused, God I love him.
"This is not the kind of party for standing around" I say and he smiles.
