TAYLOR POV:

''ONE WEEK to go babe...you as nervous as I am?😬''

''Like you wouldn't believe!😩''

''I mean, were actually going to meet face to face Taylor...my heart is racing😍!''

''Mine too Seth 😍''

''I don't know if I'll be able to control myself around you...😉''

''Then don't...😉😘''

''Babe...are you on the pill?🤔''

''No. I have no reason to be, I'm single remember🤷‍♀️''

''No you're not...you're with me now, and I think it might be a good idea...😏''

''What are you insinuating anyway?😉''

''No insinuation babe😏😉''

''OH MY!''

''Just think about it...''

After we said our goodbyes, I closed the phone and sat on the bed with my mind racing...he wanted to sleep with me! Oh my god, Seth freakin' Rollins wanted to sleep with me! This is the dreeaaammmm! OH GOD! Okay Taylor...stay calm, stay calm, stay calm.

Once the initial shock had worn off, I began to think quite seriously about what he said. I had never actually taken the pill before, or used any type of contraceptive apart from a condom. I guess it was because I'd only ever slept with the one guy, he was my childhood sweetheart all the way up from middle school until we sadly parted ways just before college. We ended things amicably though, agreeing that a 'long-distance' relationship would be too much for us what with our chosen colleges being so many miles apart. There was no love lost however, at least not on my side, because shortly after that...I discovered the Kingslayer!

''Giiirrrrrl, who you fucking?''

''Oh my God Court, keep your voice down!'' I said as we stood in line that morning to the free clinic. I was too embarrassed to go alone, and even though I knew Courtney would grill me on who I was seeing, I knew it was a better option with her by my side, because I'd probably turn away in embarrassment if I was on my own.

''Well who? I feel like you don't tell me anything anymore'' she moaned, folding her arm across her chest and pouting cutely.

''It's just this guy I met at the store, not too far from my dad's place'' I whispered to her.

''And you be waiting this long to tell me? Girl Imma need more details'' she moaned.

I proceeded to tell Courtney the lie that I'd made up on the way over, and it seemed to work, because she looked satisfyingly happy knowing she'd finally pried all the gossip out of me. But the whole time I was standing there in line at the clinic, all I kept thinking about was....could I really sleep with a near married man?

Half an hour later Court and I walked out the clinic with my prescription in hand ''don't be keeping secrets from me now girl'' she was still moaning ''...I'm your best friend, so you need to tell me everything first'' she said, pausing to put her hands on her hips.

''Of course Court, I'm sorry...from mow on I'll keep you in the loop'' I smiled, giving my best friend a big warm hug.

''You better boo boo'' she smiled, hugging me back.

We headed on over to the pharmacy across the road to pick up the pills, then spent the rest of the afternoon doing girly shopping and having fun.

SETH POV:

I still hadn't heard anything from Leighla yet, and I was actually beginning to get worried, so I decided to call her cell...

''Hi Colby'' she said in a flat tone.

''Babe are you okay? How's your Grandma?''

''She's fine'' she said in an even flatter tone.

''Well I'm happy to hear that'' I waited for her to respond, but she said nothing ''Leighla...it was just a silly little fight, that's what couples do'' I said softly.

LEIGHLA POV:

Yeah well not all couples retaliate by kissing their fiancé's work colleagues just to satisfy some petty revenge...I thought miserably. Guilt was still eating away at me like there was no tomorrow, and I was actually starting to lose sleep over it with worry. I missed being with Colby very very much, and of course wanted nothing more than to spend time with him. But I knew I wouldn't be able to look him the eyes if we met, not right now at least, not while I was still knee deep in guilt. That's why-as morbid as it is- I made up the story about my grandma taking a turn for the worse. I knew I was going to hell for it, but at least I had the satisfaction knowing I wouldn't drag Colby down with me.

But what do I do about Randy? He wasn't letting this kiss thing go, and I was worried that as a ploy to try and get together with me, he may very well go ahead spill the beans about it. I think time alone away from everyone is exactly what I need right now, or at least until things die down that is.

''I know that Colby, look I just need a little time alright, I'll uh...I'll call you next week and we can talk okay?''

''Okay'' he said, sounding disappointed.

I closed the phone and took a long overdue cold shower.

TAYLOR POV:

After Courtney and I spent way too much money on things we didn't need, I headed on back to my dad's and went up to my room. It had only been a few hours, but I already missed talking to Seth so much. Suddenly I had an idea...

I took out my prescription and laid it out on the bed, then snapped a picture of it with a message saying: ''Let the good times roll...🥒💦😉''...and SEND .

He responded immediately...

''I can't believe you got them!😯 I was kind of worried you thought I was joking or something...thank you Taylor. I really respect you for this ❤️, and babe...I'm gonna save everything I have up for you...😉🥒💦❤️''

''I'll be waiting...😉"

It was such a turn on knowing all the dirty things he wanted to do to me...

After we said our goodbyes, I read the instructions carefully on the packet, and took one starting tonight so I'd be nice and baby proofed by the time we met.
