The Angel of Death [Kaylor fanfiction]

Chapter 18 - The Grammys

The New Year kicked off with nothing but work. I've been traveling every other 2 days the first 3 weeks of January for photo shoots. Luckily New York Fashion Week is in February and I was told I would be walking for at least 5 shows for the first time on the runway. Taylor couldn't be happier that I'm finally home and not living in the suitcase.

"Hon, are you going to see any of the shows?" We were sitting comfortably on the couch watching reruns of CSI and sharing a bowl of ice cream after dinner at home.

"The last show, I want to see your last walk. I don't want to give you pressure. How many shows are you walking?" Taylor licked the last spoonful of strawberry ice cream.

"My agent told me at least 5 but it could be more. Fittings start tomorrow, we'll see." I took the empty bowl to the kitchen to wash it. Taylor followed and sat on the stool by the kitchen counter.

"You mean I won't see you tomorrow again?" Taylor lowered her chin on the counter like a sad puppy.

"Sorry babe but at least I'll be home for dinner." I smiled and patted her head. As I moved my hand, the ring on my finger shined from the lighting. Taylor bought me an engagement ring, similar style to match hers. I wear it whenever I can but have to leave it at home when I travel, definitely don't want to lose it. "Don't you have a radio interview to do tomorrow?"

"Yeah but that's only in the afternoon. Hey, don't forget we are going to the Grammys next week." She reminded me.

"I know, I told my agent. It's only for one day, they are okay with it." I walked around the counter to where she is and wrapped my arm around her from behind and rocked her slowly.

"I'm so glad this year the Grammys is back in New York, we can come home in no time when it's over and I'm not performing so I can enjoy the show." Taylor smiled. I kissed her temple.

"What are you going to wear?" I asked knowing her gown will be custom tailored.

"Elie Saab Atelier. They will bring it over here in 2 days. And what are you going to wear? Something not too sexy I hope." She turned to face me.

"Haha...you'll see..." I gave her a sheepish grin. The Grammy Awards is before fashion week, my agent told me my exposure is good for the business so I should wear something that showcases my best features but I wouldn't want to wear something that upstages and upset my fiancée.

"Come on hon, it's bedtime." I lifted her body up from the stool. "I have to get up early to workout before going for fittings and you can join me." Taylor groaned. Dibbles and Mer followed us upstairs to the bedroom.

----------------------

"Taylor, Taylor..." Paparazzi and fans were screaming and shouting from all directions at the Grammys in New York's Madison Square Garden. We held hands with our engagement rings on when we got off the car but I waited on the side until Taylor had her moment on the red carpet before walking to the press for my turn.

Taylor wore a gorgeous teal green Elie Saab Atelier and I wore a black Mugler Couture crop top with a long skirt featured a super high front side slit to show off my long legs. I will walk with the same dress a week later on Mugler's fashion show. When I showed Taylor the dress she was all smiling with approval. At first glance, the dress looked plain and a bit conservative for the occasion with just my abs showing but once I start walking Taylor's jaw dropped. "The legs...the legs..." it's all she could say.

The press is screaming for my legs now with blinding flashes, so much that I was having a problem seeing straight until someone gently grabbed my hand, it's none other than Taylor. "Alright, that's enough." She smiled to the press and we walked inside the venue. "That was crazy," I said. "Now you know how I feel. You'll get used to it babe." Taylor said as we sat down in the front row. Taylor is nominated in many categories plus they are giving her a special award.

Halfway through the show Taylor had already won 4 awards and she is on stage now to receive the special award, she went on to thank prior recipients and then she looked down to where I was sitting, "More than a year ago I met a person who changed my life forever, I wouldn't be here without her and I want to say I love you and I'm so happy to be your fiancée. Thank you." Everyone roared at the venue. I was shaking with emotions as she walked backstage. Lorde who sat next to me gave me a hug and said. "Go see her backstage." So I walked to the back just when she finished posing for the press, we met at the back of the press stage, away from all the cameras. I opened my arms to her and we hugged tightly until we heard Tree's cough. Taylor continued to dominate the entire show by winning every award she nominated.

We didn't stay long at the After Party, I don't have work until the next afternoon but it was Taylor who insisted on going home. Other than paparazzi there were fans waiting outside our building, I handed her one of the Grammy awards before she got out of the car. I went upstairs while she took photos with fans.

Dibbles and Mer started to sniff the awards on the coffee table while I went to the kitchen to take out the Rainbow cake from the fridge. I knew Taylor would win at least a few awards so I bought the cake to celebrate but didn't expect her to win all. I also took out a bottle of champagne from the wine cooler.

"Babe, where are you?" Taylor walked into the penthouse.

"I'm in the kitchen." I'm getting champagne glasses from the cabinet.

"CAKE! I'm starving." Taylor grabbed the cake cutter and ready to cut a piece when I stopped her.

"Wait, let's have a toast." I let her pop the champagne. Mer ran away from the popping sound but Dibbles didn't move at all, she just sat on the stool watching us.

I wrapped my arm around Taylor's waist, "To your winnings and to us." We kissed and clinked our glasses.

We were having cake on the couch; TV is on with an old episode of Grey's Anatomy. Taylor is having her second piece.

"Hmm...so good." Taylor talked with a mouthful of cake. I laughed at her because she has cream all over her lips. "Here, let me help you clean it off." I leaned forward and licked her lips clean when I was about to retreat Taylor push me down on the couch with her hands on my bare abs. "Hon, wait! I can't have cream on this dress, wait..." But Taylor wouldn't let go, I finally pushed her away, got up and strip the dress off, down to my underwear. "This is even better than winning a Grammy!!!" Naughty Taylor said before pushing me down again.
