"Trav." I hear Taylor whisper in my ear as my eyes slowly open, the sun shining through the big window when I turn to see her. "Travvvv" "Travvyyyyy"
I turn to wrap my arm around her side and pull her in. "What babygirl?"
"Wake uppp! I want to be held. Pleeaaase?"
I'm a little confused why Taylor woke me up just for cuddles, but hey, i'd obviously never turn them down. Holding Tay is genuinely my favorite thing to do. It gives me one of the best feelings anyone could ever have.
"Okay." I say just before I give her a quick kiss on the forehead. Taylor smiles and turns around so she's in front of me and i'm spooning her. We close our eyes, but still know we're both awake.
After a while of just laying there enjoying each others company, I check the time and realize I have to leave for football.
"Tay, baby, I have to go now."
"No."
"What do you mean no? I have to go to football babygirl." I tell her as I start to sit up in bed. "I'll be home in just a few hours... you won't even know I ever left."
I placed another kiss on her forehead and went to stand up, only to be pulled straight back down.
"I want to be with you. I don't want you to go." Taylor quietly tells me and I start to realize she's serious. She really doesn't want me to go.
"Why baby? What's wrong?" I question.
"Nothing. Just want you."
I think about it for a minute and conclude that I could just skip football today. I mean, Taylor or football... I think we all know what the correct choice is.
I lay back down and let her snuggle into me before telling her.
"You know what... I think I could just stay home today. How does that sound?"
Even though her face is buried into my skin I still feel her smile against me. She looks up at me with tired but beautiful blue eyes and whispers her response.
"That sounds amazing. I love you." She says before placing her lips on mine for a quick, sweet kiss.
I let Taylor just lay there for another hour or so but eventually decide we should probably get up and do a couple basic human functions. Use the bathroom, eat breakfast... although it's probably time for lunch at this point... and get dressed for the day.
"Tay, honey, we need to get up and eat something. And I need the bathroom."
She groans and holds me tighter.
I'm starting to get a little worried now because Taylor is never this clingy. I mean, she loves to cuddle at night or when we're on vacation but I don't know why she's like this today. Not that I mind, of course. I just don't understand.
I manage to get myself out of her grasp and stand up to look at her. She has her arms reached out in front, the same way a toddler would ask their parent to be picked up.
"Baby I'm going to the bathroom. I'll be right back."
"Mm-mm" She complains and shakes her head.
I decide to just pick her up and carry her with me to the bathroom. She'll probably walk away when I use the toilet, right?
Wrong. Taylor clung to me the entire time I used the bathroom. And then wanted to be carried again when I told her I was going to get some food from the kitchen.
At this point I'm really worried about her, so I set her down on the kitchen counter and ask if she's ok, just to be sure.
"Taylor, are you alright baby?"
This question seemed to make her more alert as her eyes shot up to meet mine.
"Yes? Why wouldn't I be?" She says, smiling up at me.
This settles my worries a little, but i'm still confused at to why she's so attached to me today.
"No reason. You're just clingy today."
"I mean, not that there's anything wrong with that, it's fine, I just wanted to be sure you were ok." I tell her, quickly realizing that she could take what I said the wrong way.
She giggles at my comments and buries her face in my chest. We stay like that for a minute or so before I ask what she wants for breakfast.
"Hmmmm.... waffles."
"That sounds doable." I say, smiling.
I carry Taylor around the kitchen while making waffles for both of us. She helps me put syrup and fruit on top of them before jumping back into my arms. I carry her up the stairs, along with the waffles, and we eat together in bed, her sitting practically in my lap.
After breakfast, we cuddle into each other and spend most of the day in bed. We watch a couple movies and make small talk, but mostly just lay there and enjoy each other's company.
When the day comes to an end, I turn the lights off and climb back into bed with Taylor.
"Thank you." She tells me.
"Thank you? For what?" I ask.
"Letting me just cuddle with you today. I really needed it. I love you."
I smile and wrap her in my arms. "I love you too baby girl, goodnight." I say, kissing her cheek before we drift off to sleep together.
