Pitch Perfect Harmony

Next Year

"It does feel a little as if we were sneaking out of our parent's house to go to a party", Taylor mentioned when she was with Brittnay on her way out of the women's wardrobe as Brit had called it. "Taylor Swift snuck out to go to parties?", Brit questioned smiling. Taylor just laughed. They wore their party outfits underneath the game outfits. That's why it felt like a secret to Taylor. It was also not very comfortable. But they soon made their way to the cars. Taylor's driver had already been waiting. "See you in a minute", she quickly waved at Brit. "See you then", she answered.

Taylor then used the slow drive around the stadium to get out of the jeans and jacket. Waiting for Travis at the back entry, she adjusted her dress and hair again. For some reason, she was pretty excited to celebrate New Year with him. And the win of course. When the door opened, she grinned at him waiting till they were fully safe to kiss him. "Congratulations, babe", she mumbled. "Hi, baby. Did you have a good time?", he asked holding her hand. "Yup. Brittany is the best. But I bet you know that already", she smiled. "Actually, I think you are the best but I accept your opinion", he joked before quickly getting his seatbelt on when the car started moving again. Taylor giggled while doing the same.

"Urgh. They just always know", Taylor sighed when they arrived at the location and some paparazzi were waiting for them. "C'mon, let's just get inside. They're just here to get some pictures of my beautiful girlfriend. I honestly don't like to share but well", he smirked making her smile. "Have I told you that you look gorgeous in this dress by the way? I didn't know I'd arrive here with a goddess by my side", he continued only making her blush and grin wider. "Stop it", she laughed, and before they could say anything more, her security checked in with them before opening the doors. Travis quickly made his way around and to her side taking her hand and interlocking their fingers. "Happy New Year!", some paparazzi yelled making Taylor smile a little inside. At least they were kinda friendly around Kansas.

As soon as they were out of sight, Travis' arm slid around her waist. She smiled at him because, for some reason, this was still special to her. Maybe because she had gotten used to someone who'd avoid being seen with her at all costs. "See how they look at us?", Travis smirked silently while they walked further into their party location. He was right, the others were looking at them but that wasn't really a surprise to Taylor. "That's not because of who you are, that's because of how fucking good you look", he was convinced. His teammates had met her before and most of their partners too, so the fascination wasn't because of her reputation in his opinion. "You're an idiot", Taylor mumbled shaking her head and blushing a little. He could still make her this giddy with just a simple compliment. "I tell you", he didn't back down. Taylor didn't have anything to say to that and was happy to find Brit and pull Travis over to her and Patrick.

They soon got their first drink and started mingling. Taylor talked to Brittany a lot and she introduced her to some of the other girlfriends and wives she hadn't met yet. Travis celebrated with his teammates but checked in with Taylor every now and then. He was happy that she seemed to feel comfortable here. Also, every time he looked at her, he couldn't oversee how much she looked like a fucking goddess in this silver dress. He couldn't believe that she was here with him. When she came back from dancing around to some good songs, he grinned at her as soon as his tipsy mind noticed that she was coming to him. "I'd be so jealous if you wouldn't be mine already", he mumbled before kissing her quickly. She giggled finding her place to his side. He had never been possessive of her which made calling her "mine" not only less strange but also really special. She knew what he meant and it felt great.

"It's midnight soon", she told him why she had come over. His smile grew a little wider. "I'm so happy you're here", he let her know. "Me too", she agreed still caught up in him. They completely forgot their surroundings until the countdown for New Year started. Just in time, Travis pulled her in for a kiss again. Taylor rested her arms around his neck while he pulled her closer by her waist. "Happy New Year, baby. I love you a lot. I don't have the worlds you do but I really do. I want to be here again with you. Next year and so many more", he whispered so only Taylor could hear. She teared up a little not expecting him to say that at all. "I love you too", she just mumbled stunned by his honesty around all these people who, at least theoretically, could hear him. "Next year?", he held up his hand for a pinky promise making her giggle still teary-eyed. She nodded connecting their pinkies. "Thank you, Trav. For everything", she said silently before his Teammates stormed over to celebrate New Year.
