Training Camp- 2023

AN: With training camp starting, let's do one of them talking during training camp last year. 

Chiefs Training Camp 2023

Travis POV:

I let out a groan as I lay on the thin twin sized mattress closing my eyes against the evening sun drifting in through the blinds. It's the second week of training camp and each day is mentally and physically draining. Glancing over at the old alarm clock that could be from the 90's sitting on the desk seeing 7:00pm blinking back at me. That means it's 5:00pm in California. I pull out my phone from the nightstand, where it lives most of the time I am at camp, and open up my last conversation thread.

Taylor. 

I was only at camp for a few days when I got a text from an unknown number which turned out to be my lifetime celebrity crush. 

Flashback:

Unknown number: Hi, this is Taylor Swift. I got your number from Miles Teller after I watched you call me out on your podcast. That was pretty ballsy of you. 

Who the fuck is pranking me? I laugh out loud as I am walking to dinner and see a few of the rookies give me a weird look, probably thinking I am crazy.

Travis: Sure and I am the King of England. Which one of my asshole friends is this?

I slide my phone in my back pocket of my jeans and grab a tray of food walking back to my room choosing to chill in my own space instead of socializing today. I feel my phone vibrate in my pocket as I badge into my room sitting down at the old desk. 

Unknown number: I've met the King of England before, nice guy. Though I will say I am going to be disappointed if you look like him. The Travis Kelce I saw on the podcast was much more attractive than a 74 old man. 

I let out a laugh taking a bite of the chicken and spinach pasta. 

Unknown number: Miles really did give me your number. I am friends with both him and his wife. He was in a music video of mine a few years back if you don't believe me. 

I raise an eyebrow in confusion, I'm not sure which one of my asshole friends would know enough about Miles and Taylor to give me so many details. Hell, most of my friends don't even know Miles and I are friends, he is closer to Jason than he is me. I go to google and quickly type in Miles Teller and Taylor Swift, and a music video for 'I bet you think about me' populates. 

Travis: Ok. If this is really Taylor Swift, prove it. I just feel like there is no way the worlds biggest pop star saw my football podcast or cared about it. 

I eat a piece of garlic bread and half of my salad before another text comes through. This time with an attachment. I open the attachment and drop my phone loudly on the table.

"HOLY SHIT" I exclaim to the empty room. I am looking at my phone like it just burned me and the candid photo of the gorgeous blonde sitting in a living room with a cat on her shoulder is staring back at me. I google Taylor Swift's cats and the first photo is of a small cat named Benjamin that looks awfully similar to the one sitting on her shoulder. 

Fuck. This is unreal. 

Travis: Holy Shit.

Travis: I'm sorry. 

Travis: Hi. I'm Travis, it's nice to meet you. Can we start over and pretend I did not embarrass myself? 

I loud knock on the shared bathroom door pulls my attention and I see Pat's head pop in my room.
