Enchanted To Meet You-- A Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Story

-Part 14-

A/N: I'm trying to catch up with what's happening irl with them rn so it might seem rushed from here!!

(act like there's no time difference 🤗)
Taylor's POV:

It's been a few weeks since me and Travis started talking and we've fallen into a routine of texting daily and calling whenever we can. Today I am getting ready for my show in Rio but it's really hot outside so my team has been trying to figure that out all morning. As i got ready i called travis because i knew we would both be busy later.
"hey baby" travis said when he picked up
"hey im just getting ready for my show do you have practice today"
"yea ill be out there for a few hours so i probably wont be able to watch ur show today sorry"
"thats ok i know you're a busy man!" i said while laughing
"getting pumped up for this season of course" he said as he puffed out his chest
i looked off to the side as I saw tree discussing, what looked important, with some of the venue people.
"everything ok?"
i mustered up my best smile, "yep i think its just gonna be a little hot during the shows so everyone's tryna figure that out right now"
travis furrowed his eyebrows not taking my statement lightly
"well if it gets too much please don't continue I want u to look after urself"
"ill be fine don't worry ive performed in worse conditions before"
"alright" travis said even though he didn't look convinced
i was glad he dropped it because any more talk of this and it would have me second guessing myself with the show tonight. I saw tree coming over to me and I did not need her interrogating travis so I had to end that.
"trav i gotta go I think tree wants to discuss some stuff" i say quickly
"alright kill it out there tonight i'll make sure to watch some videos of it on tiktok later" he said with a playful wink
i laughed as we said our goodbyes and put my phone back down right as tree approached me.
"it's not looking too good, I'm trying to reschedule but the venue isn't cooperating. do u think u can still perform?" tree asked
i took a deep breath as I weighed my options even though I already knew my answer
"of course I owe it to my fans, if they have to be out there then so do I"
"ok hun but don't put too much pressure on urself, if u think it's hard then don't continue"
"why does everyone keep telling me that, i know what im capable of"
"ok ok, just wanted to make sure tay"
"i know im sorry, but i can do it" i sigh
after tree leaves i finish getting ready and i do some breathing exercises before making my way into the cleaning cart. as I make my entrance on stage, the humidity hits me right away. It takes me a minute to adjust but it doesn't get better. The whole show I struggle to breathe and I feel like im gonna pass out. My dancers keep giving me skeptical looks and asking if im ok but i brush it off. i have a show to perform. after i dive into the stage post surprise songs, i sit down for a minute to take a breather.
"are you SURE you can continue you don't look good at all" one of the crew members asks
i mask my discomfort and nod my head as I get ready for the last set.
As I go under the stage after taking my bow and singing karma, i collapse on the ground. My vision goes blurry and I can't understand what's happening. i can hear voices but they are all muffled.
"travis" i croak out exasperated
"someone get her phone from the dressing room" i hear tree shout
soon enough im sitting up with a water bottle and a fan blowing in my face. someone brings my phone and i can't bring my hands up to take it but tree notices and calls travis for me.
he doesn't pick up after tree calls him twice and i start to lose hope. Tree sighs and sits down next to me.
"do u know if he's busy" she asks
it suddenly hits me that he had practice so of course he wasn't going to be by his phone right now.
"he is i forgot he has practice"
i lean my head on her shoulder and let the tears pour out.
"it was so hot out there" i say in between sobs
"shhh i know taylor, just relax we can talk about it all tomorrow when ur well rested" she massages my head to calm me down and soon enough i drift off to sleep.
I wake up to some noise and when i open my eyes i realize im in my hotel now.
"hey sweetie i had kam carry u to the car and inside here i didn't wanna wake u" tree said when she saw me awake
i just smiled as she walked over, too tired to say anything
"u think we can get u out of that outfit into a nice bath before bed?" she asks as she rubs my shoulder
i nod my head and slowly get up and walk over to the bathroom. tree follows me in with my pajamas in her hand and sets them down on the heat stand
"do u need any help or do u want me to wait outside" she asks
"i think i will fall if i do this myself can u help me" i ask
she nods and turns on the water for me and helps me unzip my midnights bodysuit that is now drenched in my sweat. i feel the stickiness as it leaves my body. as i lower myself into the bath, with the help of tree holding my arms, i let out a sigh. for the first time in hours i feel comfortable but I wish travis was here. after a few minutes i speak up again.
"did travis call me back yet" i say as i trace the pattern in the tub
"im not sure actually do u want me to go check" she asks as she starts to get up
i nod and she goes to retrieve my phone and returns.
"looks like he did while u were asleep should we call him back" she says with a smile
i nod my head as the phone starts ringing and she hands it to me
"hey baby" he says somberly when he picks up
"hi" i say as i lean back
"i saw what happened online im sorry i couldn't pick up ur call i was on the field" he says
"thats ok i forgot you had practice or I wouldn't have called"
"how are you feeling now have u gotten some rest"
"I slept on the way back and in the hotel for a little now i'm taking a bath"
"ya? is it nice?" he asks trying to keep me engaged
"ya it is, i'm just exhausted"
"did you eat anything after u got back"
tree interrupts for a moment, as she stands up
"how about i go order some room service for you i'm sure you're hungry"
"chicken tenders and fries" we say at the same time and i start to smile
"im on it boss" she says cheekily
I talk to travis for a while longer and tree stays on the bed outside the bathroom to give us privacy. talking to him brought me back to reality and soon enough i was ready to get out
i stay on the phone with him as I get dressed and brush my hair. when i return to the room my food is waiting on the nightstand and i get comfy in bed and start eating.
"i wish u were here" i say to travis quietly
"ya i wish i was there too right now. i'd give you the biggest hug ever, and cuddle you, and tickle you...." he says with a grin
i laugh as we continue talking about seeing each other again.
soon enough it gets late and tree heads back to her hotel room and i'm dozing off still talking to travis.
"baby i think you should get some rest alright? call me tomorrow whenever ur free ill be home all day" he says
i simply nod my head before saying goodnight and ending the call. i knock out within seconds because of how exhausted i am.
the following day I am in a worse mood because i can't believe i have to perform. tree has been trying so hard to cancel the show today or at least postpone it but the venue is being so strict and won't do anything.
as i sit in my dressing room later on the phone with travis, i start to tear up
"what's wrong tay" he asks when he notices my face
"i don't want to perform today but i feel like it's selfish of me to say when there are people in the crowd that waited months for this" i say as i put my head in my hands and start crying
"oh baby i know this is so hard and i don't want u to perform either it's not selfish of u to be looking after yourself." he tries to console me
we talk for a while longer but the minutes are just ticking by. finally, tree walks in and tells me what i've somewhat been waiting to hear.
"they are charging a lot of money but i'm assuming u don't care, they are allowing you to postpone the show honey" she says
everything moves fast from there as I post on my instagram story about the news for the fans. i can hear the commotion going on in the stadium from my dressing room and I start to stress out but luckily travis and tree bring me back and remind me i'm doing what's best. that evening i stay in my hotel and talk to travis about everything in his life i've missed recently and I can't help but miss him even more. as we say our goodbyes i go to sleep contently knowing i saved everyone from the heat tonight.
