The Angel of Death [Kaylor fanfiction]

Chapter 6 - The Ring

"I don't know what love is but I do know I want to be with her, cherish her, taking care of her and for her to be happy." I put my palms over my face.

"Karls, you are in love. You are in deep fucking love." Cara shook her head.

"Do you think if I go talk to the old man maybe he can do something?"

"Are you out of your mind?!" She looked at her watch. "Shit! I gotta go to work."

I took out the VIP pass from my backpack and hand it to her, "Here, come to the concert tomorrow night."

"Will do and we'll talk more." Cara gave me a kiss on the cheek and left the restaurant.

I continued to walk around the area after lunch but stopped in front of a jewelry boutique's display window. A small ring caught my eyes, I thought about Taylor, the woman has given me so much, provided everything I need to survive in this world, this ring will be a small token in return. With the ring in a gift box, I returned to Tokyo Dome for rehearsal.

Rehearsal went well after minor adjustments. I went back to the hotel with the crew and realized I haven't seen Taylor the entire day. She left the hotel very early for some morning TV shows taping then countless interviews and some event dinner after. I looked at my phone, no message. I missed her.

Sitting on the bed, watching TV alone in my hotel room. Tree said to me it's not good publicity if the Japanese press found out Taylor sleeps with a dancer so she got me a separate single room. I looked at the empty space next to me, I missed her arms around me. I missed her giving me small kisses, I missed her warm body, I missed her. It's going to be a long night.

Midnight, I'm still up, mindlessly flipping the remote control. Suddenly I've heard a soft knock on the door. I got out of bed and looked through the door's security peephole, it's Taylor.

Her arms wrapped around me even before I could close the door behind her. I returned with the same tight hug and whispered in her ear, "I miss you too." She looked up and kissed my lips softly, we would have continued kissing forever if we didn't need air to fill our lungs.

"Let's go to bed, it's getting late, we have a full day ahead" I whispered. The night is so much better when she is in my arms.

Taylor's phone buzzing noise woke us up. "Shit, it's Tree. She is coming to escort me back to my room. ARGH!" Lips pouting Taylor was just too cute. I couldn't help myself but give her a sweet morning kiss.

Tree gave Taylor a few side-glances when she gave me more than enough hugs and kisses before moving her feet out of my room.

When Tay and I meet again we were in Tokyo Dome for the dress rehearsal. Everything went on point without a glitch. I knocked on Taylor's dressing room's door. Tree opened the door and left the room without saying much, hair and make-up artists followed her. Taylor sat on the makeup chair and looked at me from the mirror reflection. I bent down and wrapped my arms around her, putting my face next to her's.

"Hey, I got you something." Taking out the small gift box from my warm-up jacket's pocket.

"Kar, you shouldn't have." Taylor got up from the chair and gave me a hug.

"Can I open it now?"

"Of course." She carefully opened the box but went silent when she saw the ring.

"I...I know it's not much...I..." I kind of hate myself now, Taylor has diamonds bigger than my eyes, why do I bother to give her a metal band.

Before I could ramble on she grabbed the back of my neck and placed her lips to mine. I broke up the kiss because I felt tears on my face and I know they are not my own. "Thank you so much." She said. Our foreheads met, I grabbed the box from her hand and took out the ring. "Is it engraved?" she asked. "Yes" and I put the ring on her finger. She smiled and kissed me again.

Not to Taylor's liking, Tree came back with the make-up crew. Her sharp eyes noticed the ring on Taylor's finger. "Taylor, you can't wear that ring on stage. You know the press will have a field day." Taylor groaned, took off the ring and handed it to me, not before kissing it a few times while Tree rolled her eyes.

"Alright everyone, showtime in 1 hour." Tree clapped her hands.
