TRAVIS POV:
I was doing my daily scroll on TikTok like I usually do. I mainly watched videos and cool flashy edits of Taylor to be honest, but today my page was filled with a bunch of dance trends.Over the past months Taylor has somehow managed to convince me to do many of those silly dances with her and other trends like that, so when I found one I thought would be fun, I decided I'd convince her to do it.
It was that one where I'd basically flip Taylor upside down to that trending audio. To be honest, it definitely wasn't a dance, but maybe telling her that would convince her.
Basically every single video we filmed stayed in the drafts box, and a few were posted to her close friends tab which consisted of, well, her closeted friends.
"Tay baby! Come here!" I politely shout across the house in a playful tone.
"What's up? I'm feeding the cats I'll be there in a minute." She yells back.
I rest into my pillow, waiting for what felt like ages because she's probably making those cats a 10-course meal or something insane. I think loves her fur-babies more than me at this point.
"Hi" I hear a small voice a few minutes later, and then see Taylor's frame standing in the doorway.
"Hey babygirl, so..." I paused. "You know those dance trends you always force me to do with you?" I chuckle, setting my phone up across the room, propping it on a dresser.
"Yeah?" She questions.
"Well today I want to do this done with you. Well, to be fair, it's not really a dance... but you get the point." I smile.
"Oh I think I know which one this is... is it the upside down one?" She giggles, scrolling through her phone to find the sound.
"Yup that's the one." I smiled back.
"Wait I need to change first, if we want any chance of posting this." She says, looking down at her outfit. She had been wearing just a sports bra and very short shorts around the house, but she didn't want tree to yell at her if anyone saw the video.
A minute or two later, she came out of the closet wearing a pair of black leggings and one of my chiefs hoodies that she stole from me a while back.
"Nice hoodie." I laugh, she rolls her eyes knowing damn well it wasn't hers to begin with, but I do have to admit, it does look cuter on her than it does on me.
"Are you sure you can lift me?" She asks nervously.
"What? Of course I can lift you babygirl, it'll be easy." I assure her.
"But..." she pauses. "I've gained weight. I'm not hot and skinny anymore, Travis." She mumbles quietly.
"You're perfect babygirl, you don't need to look and be a certain way to feel loved. I promise I'll always love you because, well, you're you." I respond, she shrugs.
"Tay, I don't love you because you look a certain way, I love you because, well, you're you. I will always love everything about you, but your personality and kindness are unmatched. I love you, baby." I reply wrapping her in a tight hug.
"And I promise, I won't drop you. I can bench probably... hm, three times your weight." I respond, now feeling bad that this cute little fun idea turned into such a deep conversation."And you're like 100% sure about that?" She asks, I nod, full of confidence.
"You still up for the video?" I ask, she nods.
"Great" I smile, going over the press the 10 second timer before I go over to where she was standing.
"Ready?" I chuckle, she smiles and nods, bracing herself to be flipped upside down.
Once the right part of the song played, I picked her up with ease, just as promised and flipped her a full 360 degrees around and she landed right back on her feet.
"Damn" she chuckled. "You really are strong I guess" she said, going over the press the finishing button with the video.
"Well, you know, playing football for my entire life might have a little something to do with that, just a guess." I laugh, picking her up and tossing her on the bed carefully.
"Now babygirl, we've got another problem that we need to address." I pause, trying to figure out the best way to help her handle this situation.
"You said you weren't hot earlier... and I very much disagree with that." I begin to address the topic.
"Well it's true, I'm not." She sighs.
"Tell me why you think that, and I'll be the judge of if it's true or not." I firmly ask.
"Well, my waist isn't defined, my boobs don't look big enough, I have cellulite on my thighs, stretch marks all over the place, my teeth aren't white, my freckles aren't cute, my legs have too much hair, my skin is dull, and I could go on, it's so... just so fucking much." She complains,
I take what she said into consideration, and think about it from her perspective. I know damn well she's the hottest woman I've ever laid my eyes on, regardless of what she thinks.
"Baby, you're beautiful. I love every fucking thing about you, you don't need to be a size 0 for me to love you, you don't need to get a boob job so I can love you, none of that matters. Those things are out of your control." I assure her, wrapping my arms around her waist.
"I know I can't necessary control it, but that doesn't make it hot or pretty..." she sighs.
"I find everything about you hot. I don't care if your teeth are aren't super white, or if have a little hair on your legs. You're still absolutely stunning and gorgeous." I assure her.
"You really think that?" She asks, I nod.
"I know that. I love you so much pretty girl." I smile and place a kiss on the side of her head.
"I love you too." She smiles
