its true swear scouts honour

chapter 3

Taylors POV:

He's gonna be here any minute and I'm so nervous. I spent like an hour and a half on FaceTime with Selena picking out my outfit before picking the one I originally thought I would wear. I even put in rollers in my hair and spent an hour doing minimalist makeup. Why am I so nervous to meet this man you ask? I have no actual clue. 

I observe myself in the mirror one last time. I'm wearing a cute top which is one of my favourites with its low cut which shows off my cleavage in all the right ways, a mini skirt, tights and boots. I pat down my hair and sigh. Hopefully he thinks I look good. I don't know why I care so much but I just do. 

When I hear my doorbell buzz I jump a little as I'm brought out of my trance. Its now or never I suppose. I see Travis has texted me to say he's here and I take a deep breath before going to my door and opening it. 

"Travis hi!" I say a little too breathlessly for my liking. He's just as gorgeous as I thought. Muscles for fucking miles and eyes I just know I could stare at for hours. Fuck. He gives me a grin as he observes me in person.

"Taylor, it's so good to meet you." He says warmly and I swear I'm melting me as if he were fire. "Thank you so much for allowing me to come here." He smiles and envelops me in a hug. I have to mentally scream at myself not to simply melt and let my knees buckle as I'm in his arms. 

"No problem at all," I speak softly, "come in."

I open the door a little wider so he can come in and I watch him observe his surroundings quietly and quickly before he turns to me.

"I love your place Tay it's gorgeous. Its so cosy in here damn." He speaks so freely so purely it's practically impossible for my cheeks not to turn red but I stay composed, I don't want to be too forward. 

"Thank you..." I murmur and notice some red and gold beading poking out from his fist, "Is that the bracelet?" I ask shyly.

"It is..." He blushes and opens his palm, "you're more than welcome to take it. Actually please do. I'm just so fuckin happy I got the chance to give it to you."

I can feel a warmth on my cheeks as I respond, "Of course. So you were at the concert in Kansas City? Did you enjoy it?" I say as I put the bracelet on my wrist. It's a little big but that only makes it more endearing. I can't help but trace the small red and gold beads, it's so cute he really did this for me. 

"I did. I went the second night I think. I absolutely loved it. I loved both of the surprise songs... the way you speak to the crowd with your voice and in your songs... it was like you were right next to me whispering in my ear, it was nuts." His ears burn as he realises how forward that might've sounded but I don't mind. 

"I... it takes a lot of practice. But to be honest I think it truly comes from a love of doing what you do. All my fans, they're all so dedicated and it makes it that much easier. Please sit, can I get you a glass of water, coffee, tea, anything?" I blab on and Travis smiles at me as he sits down.

"Only your company." He says softly.

(Author note: This line makes me cry knowing the lyrics from the prophecy now. She's truly found somebody who wants her company.)

My whole body softens at his words. I've never met anybody so warm, so simple yet complex like he is. I could listen to him talk for hours. I plop down onto my plush couch with him and he asks

We sit and chat on my couch for around an hour and a half, he tells me about his job as a NFL player, which is surprisingly more interesting that I anticipated it to be, as well as a few funny stories here and there when it comes to the crazy fans. We exchange stories and I hardly realise how much I'm enjoying myself until we settle into the comfortable silence.
