Forbidden Fruit (Travis Kelce)

You're Losing Me

Travis

Arianna is coming to Kansas City today. The Chiefs have been on a winning streak so far, and all I can think about is seeing my girlfriend. Today, we're playing against the Broncos, and while I hope Ari will be at the game, I understand if she's too tired from all the travel. Still, nothing would make me happier than seeing her in the stands today.

In the locker room, the guys were in high spirits, joking around as we prepared for the game. Isiah and some of the other players were making jokes about what I was going to do the first time I saw Arianna since I hadn't seen her in two weeks.

"So, Kelce, what's the first thing you're going to do when you see Ari?" Isiah grinned, waggling his eyebrows.

I smirked, keeping my thoughts to myself. My mind wandered to sex, but I didn't say it out loud.

"She might end up pregnant," Isiah joked, and the guys laughed.

Patrick shook his head, looking slightly annoyed. "Guys, that's my sister. I don't need to think about that before the game."

The banter continued as we suited up, and soon enough, it was time to hit the field. The adrenaline pumped through my veins as we ran out, the crowd's roar filling the stadium.

Throughout the first half, I kept scanning the stands, hoping to catch a glimpse of Arianna. Each time I looked and didn't see her, my heart sank a little. By halftime, I was starting to get worried. Maybe she was running late.

The second half of the game was intense, but my mind kept drifting back to Arianna. When the final whistle blew and we secured another victory, 31-17, I quickly showered and changed, eager to find her.

As I walked out, I saw Brittany. "Hey, Brittany! Where's Arianna?"

She looked at me with a mix of sympathy and confusion. "She didn't tell you? She had to go to LA last minute. Something about her house."

My heart sank. "She didn't mention anything. I was really hoping to see her today."

Brittany placed a hand on my shoulder. "I'm sure she wanted to be here. She must have been really busy."

I forced a smile, trying to hide my disappointment. "Yeah, probably. Thanks, Brittany."

I walked away, feeling a mix of emotions. I understood that she had responsibilities, but I couldn't help feeling a bit let down. All I wanted was to see her, to hold her, and to celebrate our win together.

As I headed to my car, I thought about calling her but decided against it. She was probably dealing with a lot, and I didn't want to add to her stress. Instead, I drove home, trying to shake off the disappointment.

When I got home, the house felt empty without her. I sat down on the couch, turning on the TV to distract myself, but my mind kept drifting back to Arianna. I knew we needed to talk, to figure out how to make this work despite our busy schedules.

For now, I tried to focus on the positives. We had won the game, and our team was on a roll. But deep down, all I really wanted was to see Arianna's face, to hear her voice, and to feel her in my arms.

As the night went on, I sent her a quick text. *"Hope everything's okay in LA. Miss you."*

I waited for a reply, hoping she would respond soon. Until then, I tried to push away the worry and focus on the next game, knowing that no matter what, I had to keep my head in the game.

Arianna

I decided to go to LA instead of Kansas City. I knew Travis would be upset, but I needed more time to think about the almost kiss with Theo. The confusion and guilt had been eating at me, and I needed to clear my head. I invited my friends, Miley Cyrus and Vanessa Hudgens, over to talk.

We gathered in my living room, sipping on glasses of wine. Miley was lounging on the couch, while Vanessa sat cross-legged on the floor, her eyes attentive and concerned.

"So, spill," Miley said, her tone leaving no room for evasion. "What's going on with you and Travis?"

I sighed, taking a deep breath. "There's this...thing that happened on tour. I almost kissed Theo."

Vanessa's eyes widened. "Theo? Your guitar player?"

"Yeah," I nodded, feeling a lump in my throat. "We were talking on the rooftop after the last show, and there was this moment...we almost kissed."

Miley raised an eyebrow, her no-filter attitude kicking in. "Do you want to fuck Theo?"

"No!" I exclaimed, shaking my head vehemently. "It's not like that. I love Travis. I was just...lonely and confused."

Vanessa reached over, squeezing my hand. "Loneliness can make you do things you wouldn't normally do. It doesn't mean you want Theo."

"I know," I said, feeling the weight of their words. "But it still happened, and I feel like I betrayed Travis."

Miley shrugged, taking a sip of her wine. "If nothing happened, do you really need to tell Travis? It might just make things worse."

"I don't know," I admitted, feeling torn. "Part of me feels like I should be honest with him. But I'm scared it'll ruin everything."

Vanessa nodded thoughtfully. "You should go to Kansas. You can't avoid Travis forever. But maybe don't tell him right away. Give yourself time to figure out how you feel."

I sighed, knowing she was right. "I've also been avoiding Theo. I need to talk to him too, but I'm not ready for either conversation."

"One step at a time," Vanessa said gently. "Talk to Theo when rehearsals start back after the break. For now, focus on Travis."

Miley nodded in agreement. "Yeah, you need to clear the air with Travis. Avoiding him will only make things worse."

I made up my mind, feeling a bit more resolved. "You're right. I'll go to Kansas tomorrow. I need to face this head-on."

Vanessa smiled. "Good. And remember, we're here for you, no matter what."

Miley grinned. "Yeah, and if Theo gives you any trouble, just let me know. I'll set him straight."

I laughed, feeling a bit lighter. "Thanks, guys. I really needed this."

As the evening went on, we talked about lighter topics, and I felt my spirits lift. I made arrangements to fly to Kansas the next day, determined to talk to Travis and make things right.

Lying in bed that night, I still felt a knot of anxiety in my stomach, but I knew I couldn't run from this forever. I needed to face my fears and have the difficult conversations, both with Travis and Theo.
