Taylor's party was a hit, she was so happy through the night and couldn't stop smiling. I felt way better after taking medication so it must have been a cold or something trying to come on. The rest of the night was just spent with friends and gifts.

I never gave Taylor anything last night because I had it planned for today. Last night was almost a blur. I shifted in the bed next to her and buried my face into her back. We ended up crashing at Selena's place because it was almost 2 am when everyone left.

Selena offered the guest room and I immediately said yes. The heater kicked on and sent a blast of air warming my cold toes. I honestly could get used to this, waking up next to Taylor.

It makes me think of all the things we missed out on, the little moments we could have shared if her parents hadn't taken us apart. I slid my hand around the curve of her side and across the flat of her stomach.

"Hey," she mumbled linking her fingers into mine.

We didn't move, neither one of us wanting to shatter the peaceful moment. I breathed her in and savored the moment.

"Are you going to your moms for Christmas" Taylor hummed

"No, she's coming here" I sighed

My mom changed plans for Christmas and wanted to come here. She claimed that she wanted to see snow and have a New York experience for the holidays. She also is bringing her husband. Little does she know it probably won't snow on Christmas this year.

"Oh, well that should be fun" She stiffles a laugh.

Taylor shifts and turns over so she's now facing me. Her hair is messy yet I find it hot.

"What are you doing, " I ask tucking her hair behind her ear.

Her eyes shift away and she shits up leaning on the headboard. I sit up slightly confused by her body language.

"My dad doesn't want me in the house- because I came out to him," she says picking at her nails.

Oh man, this must hard on her. Christmas is one of Taylor's favorite holidays. She loves gift-giving and spending time with family.

"I'm sorry Taylor," I say

She shrugs her shoulders and sends me a small smile.

"I'd rather get to be myself than someone I'm not. Plus I get to be with you" She grabs my hand a squeezes it.

"Speaking of us, we have somewhere to be" I smile and tug her out of bed.

"What," she asks confused

"We gotta go and get ready and I'll pick you up soon okay" I say

"Lavender what are we doing" she presses

"Just trust me" I smile

"Okay so you're borrowing my jet but won't tell me where we're going" Taylor whines

"Exactly"

Taylor slid out of the jet seat as we landed and linked had hand in mine. As we walked down the stairs she trailed behind me and I opened the suburban car for her.
