Guilty as sin

Chapter 5

Taylor's POV

   2 weeks have past since that day I spent with Travis, I pretty sure I've been over there everyday since then and he has fucked me in every single surface of that house. This was supposed to just be sex, a way to have fun, let loose, and actually have an orgasm from something other than my vibrator. The only problem is he's pretty much all I can think about. The way his eyes crinkle when he smiles, the way he says my name, the way he holds me close after we have sex like he never wants to let me go, our bodies fitting together perfect like puzzle pieces. It's like we are magnets always gravitating to each other, unable to stop touching even when it has nothing to do with sex. Which is were the problem really begins, because don't get me wrong we've had a lot sex in this past two weeks. However it's the moments in between that are the issue.

   I keep finding myself just laying in his arms on the couch making fun of shitty reality tv shows with Travis doing ridiculous imitations just to make me giggle. Coming over just to cook meals together while we sing stupid songs as he twirls me around his kitchen, accidentally letting the food burn cause we are so caught up in each other. He is so easy to talk to, I've told this man things that I've never told anyone ever, bared my whole soul for this man. Honestly though the craziest thing is that he has done the same. I find myself dreading the thought of leaving each time I'm with him, wishing that it was his arms I woke up in every single morning.

   So now here I am lying in Travis' arms on a Sunday at 10am coming down from our second round of sex so far this morning. I just couldn't bring to leave last night, even though I knew I should have gone home.

  I feel him place a kiss on the top of my head while he mindless draws lazy circles on my back with his finger tips. When the realization really truely hits me that this can't just be sex between the two of us, no matter how hard I try to deny it. All I know is that in this moment I was sure, he is it for me. He is the one I've been writing love songs about since I was 13. I'm thinking about things that no sane person should be thinking only a few weeks after meeting someone. Things like lazy Sunday mornings making french toast with couple kids underfoot, A house in KC with a big backyard that we could have gatherings during football season. There wasn't a scenario when picturing the future that didn't include Travis. It hit me like a ton of bricks, I knew exactly what I had to do.

     "I'm going break up with Joe" I say quietly. I feel his fingers halt on my back and he looks down at me suddenly "what?" "I'm going leave Joe, tell him to take his shit and go the fuck back to London" I say more confidently this time making eye contact. "Are...are you sure?" He asks hesitantly. I nod "I don't love him..." I pause "He doesn't make me happy, i never realized that I was merely just existing with him ...then I meet you and it feels like I'm seeing color for the first time. Look I know that this is supposed to be just sex, but-" he cuts me off "Oh Taylor, this could never just be about sex with you baby. I'm smitten with, don't you see it? I'm completely ruined for anyone else, you're it for Tay. I'm all in." I can feel my eyes tearing up, and press my lips to his, then whispering "me too."

  Things were starting to get heated again when I heard my phone ring. I ignore it at first, but then it goes off again. I sigh reaching for my phone, looking down to see Tree is calling me. The fact that she is calling this early on a Sunday can't be a good sign I think, so I pick up.

"Hello?"
"Oh Taylor, thank god you answered!"
"Oh? ..What's up?"
"Have you been online yet?"
"No."
"Are...are you with Joe right now?"

I can hear the hesitation in her voice, which kinda scares me honestly.

"No, why?
"Okay, so I have tell you something..and please try not to freak out to much."

Okay now I'm really starting to get scared.

"What's happening Tree?"
"Big Machine just announced that they sold your Masters..."
"WHAT!?"

I yell into the phone in full panic-mode.

"To who?!"
"Right so that's the thing...Taylor I'm sorry, but Scooter Brawn bought it.."

Oh god I can feel the tears form in my eyes, Travis looks at me with a worried face. When Tree continues.

"That's not all..."

She's hesitating again.

"He's working with someone, and they are listed as co-owner"
"Who?"
"Taylor..."
"Tree just tell who it is!!"
"It's Joe.."

All of the color drains from my face, I jump up from the bed and rush to bathroom emptying the contents of my stomach into the toilet. All I can think is what the fuck am I going to do now, Joe owns my whole life's work. I realize that he has me trapped, and start to sob.

A/N: Sorry this is so short but I was kinda felt like leaving you guys with a little cliff hanger...lol sorry, I promise I won't leave you guys waiting too long 😅
