In the Name of the Game

Chapter 14: Shit

Taylor's Pov

"Wait so where is it taking place again?" I asked as I looked at my laptop screen.

"China it's like 4 days, then I'll be back for softball practice. My hours for grad school isn't bad, though Mav is already complaining that I have it easier." She said as I watched her pack, a smile coming across my face as she put a picture of us in her wallet.

"And I am still mad at you why didn't tell me about your minor?" I asked with my hands coming across my chest

"I wanted to surprise you baby." She says as she finally stops and looks over at her screen.

"Gah you are so beautiful, like how did I get so lucky." She finally says as a smile comes across my face.

"I wish you were here with me, you sure you don't want to quit soccer and just come with me on the road?" I asked as I pouted, I knew how much she couldn't resist.

"Ok you can't do that to me sweetheart, one you know they would kill me. Two you know I would honestly do it." She said as she zipped up her bag.

"I know, I know I just wish it was quicker and you were already here." I told her as she smiled nodding her head.

"Well, you know Mrs. Swift you haven't tried convincing me about getting a kitten as of late." She stated with a smirk as smile came across my face.

"You know you want a kitten baby they are really amazing, plus they usually do their own thing. Plus, as they get older, they pretty much maintain their own selves. Also, they are really cute... baby did you get the pics I sent you of the Scottish folds?" I asked her as she pulled out her phone showing me.

"I am all for it baby, but I think maybe more in October. I'll be home and don't have anything till mid-November, then I'll be in Texas till January." She said as another huge smile came across my face, when I saw my mom enter the room. "Oh and tell Austin I will be there for his graduation. Most of our games are in the states and are midway through May... he may or less may've gotten mad I might not be there."

Lupe had become one of his biggest supporters, anytime she was home it was either them going out or she was attending one of his games. I mean the million times that I would get pictures of them out for lunch or my wife showing my brother around UT.

"I am glad he had gotten to be a little mopey since you left, apparently you are the best Swift." I said as a smirk came across her face.

"I am pretty great." She said shrugging her shoulders as I rolled my eyes.

"You already have an enough of a big head baby." I stated as she stuck out her tongue

Lupe's Pov

May 2011

It hadn't been too bad though I could definitely use a break, if I wasn't practicing with the National Team, I would be with my college team.

I was honestly glad to have the week just for my girl and family. I honestly think I was really starting to worry my wife on the amount of work I was putting in my body.

"Babe I am fine," I stated once again as I buttoned my shirt, Taylor giving me one of her looks that I know oh so well.

"I know you are fine, but still getting that call that you had slice on your arm. Honestly I don't even know how you got it... I just it had been a while since I had seen you and that's the call I get?" She said as she straightened my collar, she had gotten me a button down that definitely matched the color of her eyes.
