Then You Came in Wearing a Football Helmet

Taylor's POV

They won. 

I sat bouncing in the spare room I stayed in waiting for Travis and sure enough he burst into the room "Taylor" I ran to him and held him tight. "You were incredible" I smiled and looked up him, I knew how much this meant to him. "I love you Tay, thank you for coming girly, I love the jacket". I was wearing the jacket he had gotten me for Christmas so we could be matching. "You like it"  I stepped back and modeled a bit. He laughed and lifted me, "I love it" he then whispered in my ear "I'd love it more on the floor." I blushed and we walked out hand in hand.

When we got home we decided to make dinner. I knew a recipe for easy Alfredo chicken and figured it would be nice to make it together. Travis had grabbed groceries so this was supposed to be easy. 

"My finger, ahhh," I rolled my eyes as Travis ran around with marinara sauce in his finger. I had to run around the kitchen island chasing him. He eventually let me catch him and I climbed into his back. "Stop it, I'm hungry" He laughed and carried me back to the kitchen before I jumped off. "What's next chef" I kissed him and looked at the recipe.

After two hours working on a thirty minute recipe we were done. The delay might have been caused by a food fight he started by turning on the mixer, that was full of flower. Travis's mom was in KC for New Year's so she joined us at the table.  We ate, but eventually had to start getting ready for the party.

It took me a while to get ready for the New Year's Eve party. Travis was much faster, " Hey babe, you almost ready?" When he walked into the room he froze, his mouth dropped open, "what?" I looked myself up and down wondering what he was looking at. But he closed the distance between us and hugged me softly kissing my cheek. "You are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen." He stared at me yet I didn't feel self conscious. He kissed my cheeks "god, your beautiful" the rest of the time as I got ready he stayed there and wat he'd me with a smile, occasionally cracking jokes or telling me how beautiful he thought I was. 

Travis's teammates had become like a second family to me so throughout the night the night I would separate from Travis and talk to some of the WAGS but I'd meet up with him again. I could feel myself getting drunker and drunker. Travis introduced me to a few people as we went on, I took photos with friends and danced with Trav. 

I was talking to  Brittney when big strong arms hugged me. "Heyah, Trav" I leaned back and let him kiss my neck. "It's almost midnight babe" I spun around to face him, and he extended his arm, "may I have this dance?" I smiled wide and followed him to the club floor.

"Five, Four, Three" the shouts began to fade away as I looked at Travis screaming at the top of his lungs sporting the biggest smile I had ever seen. We locked eyes and he leaned down to kiss me. I opened my mouth and felt him explore my mouth with his tongue. He pulled away "Happy New Year Baby Girl" I smiled and kissed him "Happy New Years Travy, I love you"  again he kissed me softly "I love you too.".  He pulled me into a hug and we swayed back and forth on the dance floor.

That's when song came in that I really liked and I started to dance, I hit the sprinkler, floss, moonwalk, some robot, and even a little twirling. That's when Travis wrapped his arms around around me pulling me towards him.

I started to stroke his beard, "your a pretty guy" he laughed at me, "your a pretty girl" I pulled his body against me and I gave him a sloppy kiss. Again he pulled away "Do you wanna get out of here?" "Why? I'm having so much fun"  he laughed at me, "girly Tree will kill me if I don't get you outa here" "Awww,". Travis practically carried me out of the club and into into the car. As we were driving along Is it over now came on. "Once the flight had floan, ooo, wi da wilt of a rose, ah ah, I slept all alone, ah ah" Travis was trying to focas on the road and not laugh "DO YOU THINK I DID SEE THEY ARE FLASHING LIGHTS, so flashy, AT LEAST I HAD DA DE DENCY TO DO THE NIGHTS". The song finally ended and Travis was just sitting in his garage smiling at me, "Better than the concert." I giggled, "I love you Travy" he kissed me, I drove my tongue in his mouth and tried to climb into his lap. But he held me back, " baby, your too drunk tonight" he got out and open the door for me, and fireman carried me to his bed. He wiped my face, took off my dress and pulled a shirt over me then finally tucked me into bed with a kiss.

I had the worst hangover ever. I let out a groan and tried to stretch, mumbles pulled me towards the lump in the bed. "Let me gooo". I tried to escape but was just held tighter, "Noooo"  I sat up and blinked the sunlight out of my eyes, "your beautiful" I looked down to see him looking at me. "Stop it, I think im still drunk", he laughed and kissed my cheek. "You are gorgeous, drunk or sober. Morning or night, you will always be the most incredible woman I have ever seen." I gave him a small kiss. "What time is it?" he gave me a coy smile, "Time to kiss your boyfriend" he puckered up and I kissed him again. "It's 11 o'clock" "okay" I laid back down in his chest, "What did we do last night?" He laughed "More like what did you do last night." I turned to him fast, "What did I do". He smiled "Aww, your such a cutie when your drunk" He got up and walked to the bathroom to brush his teeth, I followed, "What did I do?, Travis, Baby, what happened, My Love, Travis, please" He was choking on his toothpaste and was laughing so hard. 

He eventually finished telling the stories of what I did last night as I watched with mortification, then he poured us some cereal and turned on the tv. Before I could ask him what we were gonna watch he began to screen share. "What are you doing?" He giggled, not laugh, giggled and began to play videos of us last night. When they were finally over I sat with my hands over my mouth. Travis crawled over to me and pulled into his arms. "I love you Taylor" he smiled at me and I melted into his arms. "I love you too Travis, your kinda my favorite person", he hugged me tighter, "Your my favorite person too." He smiled at me "I am so in love with you." I straddled him and leaned down to kiss him, "Travis, you are the love of my life." He smiled at me and it made me feel beautiful.
