Forbidden Fruit (Travis Kelce)

Promo

Arianna

I was back in LA, standing under the glaring lights of the studio, filming a promo video for my Super Bowl halftime show performance announcement. The energy was electric, and I could feel the excitement building as we worked on capturing the perfect shots. My manager, Olivia, stood nearby, watching the footage on a monitor.

"That looks great, Arianna," Olivia said, giving me a thumbs up. "Let's take a short break."

I nodded and walked over to where she was standing, taking a sip of water. "It's all coming together," I said, feeling a mix of nerves and anticipation.

"It really is," Olivia agreed. "By the way, I wanted to ask you something. What do you think about releasing 'Please Please Please' at the same time as the Super Bowl announcement drops in a few days?"

I considered her suggestion. With the holidays coming up, it was hard for all of my team to travel, so I had decided to come to them in LA. Plus, Travis would be coming to LA soon with Jason, Kylie, their little girls, Donna, Brittany, Patrick, and their kids. We were all planning to spend Thanksgiving at my parents' house, which was big enough to fit everyone comfortably. It would be a full house, but it would also be filled with love and warmth.

"That sounds like a great idea," I said, nodding. "Let's do it."

Olivia smiled, pleased with my decision. "Perfect. We'll coordinate everything to make sure it's a big splash."

As we wrapped up the shoot, I felt a sense of accomplishment. The promo video looked amazing, and the timing of the song release was perfect. I couldn't wait for everyone to see it.

Before leaving the studio, I decided to send Travis a picture from the shoot. I scrolled through my phone, selecting a shot of me standing in front of the stage lights, holding the microphone with a confident smile.

Just wrapped up an amazing shoot! Can't wait for you to see it. Love you! ❤️

I hit send, and almost immediately, my phone buzzed with a reply from Travis.

Travis: Wow, you look incredible, babe! So proud of you. Can't wait to see the final video. Love you too!

Feeling buoyed by his support, I headed back to Miley's house, where I was staying. It was always good to be with Miley; she was my rock, my best friend, and we always had the best time together. When I walked in, Miley was lounging on the couch, scrolling through her phone.

"Hey, superstar," she said, looking up with a grin. "How did the shoot go?"

"It was great," I said, flopping down next to her. "We got some amazing footage, and Olivia suggested releasing 'Please Please Please' at the same time as the Super Bowl announcement."

"That's awesome!" Miley exclaimed, her eyes lighting up. "I can't wait to hear it. You're going to kill it at the Super Bowl, you know that, right?"

I smiled, feeling a rush of gratitude for her unwavering support. "Thanks, Miles. I hope so."

We settled in for some girl talk, catching up on everything that had been happening in our lives. Miley told me about her latest projects and some hilarious stories from her recent travels. I filled her in on the latest with Travis and our plans for the holidays.

"So, everyone's coming to your parents' place for Thanksgiving?" Miley asked.

"Yeah, it's going to be a full house," I said, laughing. "But it'll be fun. I'm really looking forward to it."

"And Travis is okay with spending the holidays with your family?" she asked, raising an eyebrow.

"He is," I said, smiling. "He actually suggested it. He knows how important family is to me, and he's excited to be a part of it."

"That's great," Miley said, nodding approvingly. "He seems like a really good guy, Ari."

"He is," I agreed. "I'm really lucky to have him."

As we talked, I felt a sense of contentment wash over me. Despite the challenges and the ups and downs, things were falling into place. I had an amazing career, a supportive boyfriend, and wonderful friends and family. Life was good.

"I'm so glad you're here, Miles," I said, reaching over to squeeze her hand. "I missed you."

"I missed you too," she said, squeezing back. "Let's make the most of this time together."

We spent the rest of the evening reminiscing, laughing, and making plans for the future. It was exactly what I needed – a reminder of the important things in life and the people who mattered most.

As I lay in bed that night, I felt a sense of peace and anticipation. The next few weeks were going to be busy, but I was ready for whatever came my way.

Before turning off the lights, I decided to call Travis. I wanted to hear his voice before falling asleep.

"Hey, babe," he answered, sounding tired but happy to hear from me. "How are you?"

"I'm good," I said, smiling at the sound of his voice. "Just wanted to hear your voice before I go to bed."

"I'm glad you called," he said warmly. "I miss you."

"I miss you too," I replied softly. "The shoot went really well today. I'm excited for you to see the video."

"I can't wait," Travis said. "I'm so proud of you, Ari. You're going to be amazing at the Super Bowl."

"Thank you," I said, feeling a swell of gratitude. "It means so much to have your support."

"Always," he said firmly.

"I love you, Travis," I said, feeling a wave of affection.

"I love you too, Ari," he replied. "Sleep well, babe."

"You too," I said softly. "Goodnight."

"Goodnight."

As I hung up the phone and nestled into the covers, I felt a deep sense of contentment. The next few weeks were going to be busy and challenging, but I was ready. With Travis by my side, I knew I could face anything.
