Third Pov
Taylor was flying through the house practically vibrating with excitement. She was making sure everything was perfect for later which included vacuuming twice, dusting, deep cleaning the bathrooms, bringing out the extra pillows, and making cookies. Sometime during the second wiping down of every surface within her reach Travis began to worry if she didn't stop, she would pass out before the people even got there.
"Ok, that's enough for you little missy." Travis butted in after seeing her grab the broom for the fourth time that hour.
"But I need everything to be perfect! I haven't had people over for a secret session since Lover! I'm too excited I need to do something or I'm gonna explode." She bounced on her heels clutching the broom in her hands.
"I know your excited sweetie but you're not gonna have any energy left for tonight." He placed his hands on her shoulders to calm her down. "Once the pop tarts are out of the oven, you're gonna sit down with me and relax until people get here ok."
Taylor pouted but ultimately agreed although he was quite close to tying her down after finding her trying to wipe down the widows of rooms people wouldn't be going into. With the help of her parents, he managed to get Taylor to take a break and even nap for an hour before she was back to puttering around the house making sure everything was in order.
"It's almost time! It's almost time! It's almost time!" Taylor chanted peering out the windows that showed a full view of the driveway.
"Was she like this every time?" Travis laughed seeing Taylor's giddy expression.
"More or less." Scott shrugged grabbing one of the extra cookies from the discarded tray.
"She's usually a bit more on edge, anxious on if people are going to like the album, but she doesn't seem too fazed this time around." Andrea shrugged.
"They're here!" Taylor shouted bolting to the door.
Travis's arms shot out looping around her waist to hold her still while she squirmed trying to get free. "Travis let me go." She whined tugging on his arms practically running in place.
"Calm down just a little sweetheart, I know you're excited, but you don't wanna freak them out." He said calmly. Taylor groaned sagging against his arms whilst he led her to the living room where she had originally planned to meet them. "Your dad will get the door, and you'll pop out and give them all mild heart attacks." He kept her in his arms until he could tell she had fully calmed down.
"Ok, ok I'm good. I'm calm." Taylor took a few breaths.
Travis nodded releasing her from his grasp just as they heard the voices begin to gather in the hallway. Scott appeared in the doorway first and was quickly followed by the first few fans. As soon as they laid their eyes on Taylor screams erupted from the small crowd before they rushed over to her.
"Oh my gosh, it's Ashley!" A short blonde shrieked.
"No, it's Becky!" A second, brunette girl shouted back.
Taylor let out a loud laugh, her head falling back. The rest of the crowd let out a few chuckles before settling down a bit.
"Ok so everyone take a seat and get comfy and I'll share a secret I've been keeping." She smirked watching as everyone scrambled to take a seat. "First of all hi," Taylor gave a little wave getting a chorus of hellos back. "Now before I tell you what the heck you all came out here for, I'd just like to thank you all for coming. I know you've all probably been taught not to go to talk to strangers on the internet even more so to not go to their houses I really appreciate you all throwing yourself preservation skills out the window for me." She joked her hands fidgeting with the mouse of her laptop.
