Touchdown Hearts: The Swift-Kelce Love Story!

Chapter Two

"how was someone so beautiful and kind and honestly amazing,  a real person"

travis is sitting on the couch watching the news while cuddling his fiancé, kayla looks at the tv and says, "i don't know people like this taylor chick, her music isn't even that good." travis chuckles and starts talking about when he facetimed jason earlier and talked to his nieces

"babe don't about wanting a baby it's never going to happen." kayla says laying on travis's chest, "yeah, who needs kids when i have you." he says kissing her forehead, "babe what do you want for dinner?" he asks rubbing her back, "spaghetti with parmesan!" kayla says excitedly and her and travis rise up from the couch going to prepare dinner

at the dinner table travis tries to make conversation but it's like kayla won't listen, "oh babe i have to go, me and the girls are going for dinner." she says getting up leaving the full plate of food on the table and travis alone

travis gets up cleaning the plates and going back to the couch to watch tv and he sees taylor again this time he turns it up louder interested in what's on tv, kayla walks downstairs, "you're still watching that?" she says disgusted as she walks out slamming the door, travis sighs looking back and taylor starts singing blank space, he starts singing along.

after taylor's performance he decides to put on modern family, in the middle of the episode ryan calls

phone call

"hey!" ryan says through the phone

"hey ry what's up?" travis says pausing his show

"selena's birthday is on wednesday do you want to come?" ryan asks waiting for his response

"uh yeah, but i don't really know selena that well, why are you inviting me?" travis asks confused

"blake said i could bring a friend. so i don't get bored." ryan says in all honesty

5 days later
selena's birthday came sooner than expected, those 5 days felt more like 2. he was honestly nervous, this was an emotion that was uncommon for travis. he had always been the center of attention even before football. he loved having all eyes on him, the chatter of people who couldn't stop themselves from talking about him. that definitely made people believe he was self centered, which couldn't be farther from the truth, in reality, he had an always put everyone's needs before his own. he was the person that would go the store and get you your favorite thing just to see a smile on your face.

travis got to the party earlier than expected. ryan had just sent him a message, letting him know that he was on his way and would be there in about 20 minutes. travis scrolled on tiktok for what seemed like hours but had only been 5 minutes. travis layed his head against his cars, headrest and closed his eyes. he could picture tay and the first night they met. which surprisingly was also a birthday party, that was also one of the only times he had been nervous.

(flashback to prologue travis's pov)
but unlike today, he knew exactly why he had been nervous. it had been like the first night he met tay. she was so breathtakingly beautiful, she had just cut her hair not that he had been paying attention. when she walked over to him, he suddenly lost all the air in his lungs. he kept thinking, how was someone so beautiful and kind and honestly amazing, a real person. before then he would just tell himself that she must be faking and she had to have a flaw or a couple. but watching her walk around that room talking to everyone, friends, strangers even ex lovers she was so compassionate.

since travis hadn't been nervous very often, he had no idea that when he was nervous, he couldn't stop talking. this resulted and him talking about himself way too much. after their conversation, if you had asked him, what did they talk about, he couldn't give you an answer. he talked about everything, but no matter what he said she nodded her head, smiled and replied. she made him feel so comfortable and made it seem so effortlessly.

after their conversation he just had to drink, it made him feel less nervous but it definitely wasn't a good idea. he kept drinking, pretending that he wasn't interested in her at all. he had been a bit obsessed with her if anybody asked, he didn't know taylor swift, but his brother jason definitely knew he was a swiftie. when she had been near him later on, he approached her, she had been so breathtaking he had completely forgotten everything, his mind had no thoughts.

if you had asked him his name he wouldn't have been able to tell you his own name. he hadn't even known he had drank too much till it was too late he had screamed "shout out to taylor mother fucking swift.", as you could tell sober travis would never, but he was obsessed with her, he hadn't listened to a single word she had said all he could think of was her lips.

thank god ryan had made him go home, if he had stayed he was terrified to think about what he might of said.

(end of prologue flashback)
suddenly he heard a loud bang, his heart raced as fast as it did when coach had made them run laps during practice. travis looked up and saw ryan. he should had known, ryan loved to scare travis any chance he got. ryan was bent over laughing hysterically, travis's face must had said it all.

once in the party, travis scanned the crowd for tay. he thought it would be harder to find her but how could he not notice her. her hair was longer than he remembered, the interview he had seen days previously must had been recorded a while ago. he had to stop and debate talking to her, he had not as obsessed with her now. so he knew he could have a conversation without making a full out of himself.

he was happily engaged and she was in a relationship so he took the longer than expected to walk up to tay. "hi taylor it's been a while, how have you been?" tay looks at travis "hi travis, i know it's been quite a while but i am so happy to see you again, i have been good really busy but good! thank you so much for asking!" she says,

"i can't imagine, being a popstar must be amazing at times but having everyone watching your every move, criticizing the way you look or your every word has to be hard." travis says trying to be understanding, "travis from the bottom of my heart thank you, i feel like not many people understand how hard it can be at times for people to watch your every move, i love my fans but it can be overwhelming and a bit lonely." tay responded.

they spoke for what felt like 10 minutes but then ryan came over and started talking, "hey travis sorry to interrupt, kayla called me she wanted to speak to you" ryan said and i noticed we had been talking for a whole hour. "i loved our conversation, here is my number. i would love to talk again soon!" travis tells tay before going to a corner to talk.

the night went by faster than expected, he had wanted to talk to tay before he left but she had seemed to leave before him. they hadn't even cut the cake yet, he hoped she was okay. but now more than ever he wished he had got her number instead of giving her his because this would have been the perfect excuse to text her.
