Its a Love Story Baby, Just Say Yes

AFC Championship

Taylor's POV:

"I don't like it Taylor." Tree states through the phone as I zip up my boots. I roll my eyes and look at myself in the floor length mirror in front of me. I decided to go with a plain red sweater and black skirt instead of wearing anything Kelce specific.

"Tree, you don't have to like it. I talked with security and they are willing to do it, I was really only calling to give you a heads up that there could be an influx of pictures if they win." I state putting in my earrings and grabbing the 87 ring Donna had given me last week. Tree sighs through the phone and I smile, knowing there is nothing she can say to me to change my mind.

"Fine, just please tell Travis to watch his hand placement!" She says with a laugh and hangs up. She isn't wrong though, he is known to get caught with his hands a little lower, ok a lot lower, than he should in public. Not that I'm complaining, my mother on the other hand...

"It's time to go Tay!" I look up and see Keleigh and Miles standing in my doorway. They had told me earlier this week that they were planning on going to the game so I added them to the suite and offered to have them come with me in the jet from New York.

"I'm ready, let's go." I say looping my arm through hers and walking with them to the car.

"So for my thank you present for getting Travis and you together, I think I will take a private beach vacation? Maybe in the Maldives?" Miles says as we are riding to the stadium in my car. I laugh and roll my eyes at him.

"I will get right on that, in all of my spare time." I joke. All of my friends are painfully aware that I hardly ever have spare time, and when I do I usually am in the studio working on my next project. My phone vibrates in my hand and see its a text from Travis.

Travis: I can't wait to see you after the game, with a trophy in hand. Two more games baby. Love you.

Taylor: You've got this! I will be cheering you on from the suite. I am proud of you no matter the outcome. Love you.

Thankfully getting into the stadium was a lot easier this week than in Buffalo and I am able to sneak in with very little fanfare. Keleigh is holding on to my arm and Miles is bringing up the rear, in front of my security team keeping us all in sight as we make our way to the suite.

"The party can start, Tay's here!" Jason exclaims as I walk in the room with eyes turning to us. I'm used to everyone looking at me, but with this group all I see are real smiles, and not the fake industry smiles I am used to. Ed grins and comes over pulling me into a hug smiling down at me.

"I just finished your last album, Midnights, it might be one of my favorites. You are so talented, I keep telling all of my friends about your music." He says excitedly. I grin at him and squeeze him tighter. I don't think he realizes how much it means that he has listened to every album I have made. I wonder how he will feel about my newest album I am set to release here in a few months, he even gets a slight mention in one of the songs, but I think I will let that be a surprise.

"Thanks Ed, I love that you listened to all of my music, I am very proud of my work." I say before I am pulled into another hug by Jason.

"I like the shirt!" I say regarding his Big Yeti shirt with his Kansas City Chiefs overalls. He grins down at me and pats my head like a child.

"I'll get you one! I know you're a big fan of the Big Yeti." He laughs when a blush comes across my face. He isn't wrong. Travis is the first guy I have ever dated who has chest hair, but ever since the first time I saw his, I was converted as a fan. Theres just something about running your hands through it.
