How to Mend a Broken Heart - Taylor swift and Travis Kelce

5

"...I don't think i can do this without you" I blurt out, regretting my previous words "I've missed you so much it feels like my heart will explode... I love you" I cry

"Tay-"

"You don't have to say it back okay, I know I hurt you the other day, it's just that I don't know how to do this, I've thought about it a lot trav, but I've never dated someone who has a kid before, so it's hard to take in"

"Don't worry, Tay, I get it, it's not easy and I should've told you from the start"

"Can you come over tomorrow?"

"Um no actually, Lizzie has a doctors appointment tomorrow but I'll try to go as soon as I can, I promise" he says sweetly

"Does she know about us?"

"No, not yet whenever I see you she just thinks I stay late for work stuff, I don't-" he says, interrupted by a yell, assuming it his daughter in the background "sorry, I have to go, Lizzie's ready for bed, I call you soon okay"

"Okay, goodnight"

"Goodnight" he says, as soon as I'm about to hang up, he starts talking again "Tay?.... I love you too"

I blush at his words, I had never said those words to someone so fast in the relationship or had someone say them so early on either but with Travis it just felt right

I hadn't even known the man for more than two months, but he made me feel different, my heart skipped a beat for this man and I felt like I was walking on clouds around him, he was perfect, the only problem was Eliza, and not because she was a problem, it's not like she was a complete nuisance but things were bound to be different with someone with kids, like the fact that he couldn't stay over or how he always left early

"Trav! What are you doing here?" I exclaim happily as I open the door, immediately falling into his arms, they've quickly become my safe space

"I came to surprise you" he says and just by his voice I can tell his smiling

"I've missed you" I say softly, tiptoeing to reach his lips

"Me too, so i thought I'd stay here late with you today, to make up for it" he smiles as we walk over to the couch

"What about Eliza? Won't she be waiting up for you?"

"No, she's with the nanny for the night, I deserve a night out away from her where I don't have to worry about her or work"

"Speaking of Eliza, how was her doctors appointment yesterday?"

"Oh- um- good you know, just a yearly check up, everything's good"

"Oh that's good, have you told her about me?"

"No, well- I mentioned I was having dinner with a friend today but that's about it"

"Just a friend huh?"

"Well I didn't want to make things complicated for her and i couldn't tell her I was having dinner with Taylor swift because she doesn't know who you are"

"Not to be snobby, but does she live under a rock?" I joke

"Tay she's six" trav laughs "and I control her screen time a lot, i usually only ever let her watch Disney plus on her iPad, she might just know a few song of yours from the radio but I don't think she knows you by name"
