Timeless: Tayvis Oneshots

loml (excerpt 2)

another excerpt from my book loml, set after the epilogue

Travis' POV

I was woken up by the feeling of wriggling in my arms and smiled to myself, slightly amused by being woken like that. It used to annoy me, but now I woke up every day grateful I wasn't sleeping alone.

"Good morning wriggly girl." I mumbled sleepily.

"I have to pee." Taylor giggled, trying to extract herself. "But your big yeti arms trapped me." In response, I held her tighter. "Travis!" She smacked my chest playfully. "I really have to pee!" 

"Fine." I sighed, letting her go and burrowing back into the bed as I felt her get up. Sleepiness washed over me again and I drifted back off before getting woken again by the feeling of Taylor climbing back into bed. "Hey there baby." I mumbled as she burrowed into my chest, sighing happily.

"Hi." She whispered, wriggling to cuddle closer.

God, I was so glad we were back here. Ever since we'd gotten back together, life had been so perfect. Poppy had been happier than ever, and Taylor and I were deep into another honeymoon phase that didn't seem to be fading anytime soon. It had been three months, and we were getting remarried soon. We already wore our old wedding rings again, but we wanted to renew our marriage, our vows. It was important.

After a few minutes, I heard a little shuffle at the door and peeked over Taylor's shoulder to see Poppy peeking through at us in her princess pajamas. She smiled when she saw me, running over and jumping into bed with us. Taylor laughed as Poppy nudged in-between us and cuddled up under the blankets, grinning at us.

"Good morning munchkin." Taylor peppered her with kisses. "Did you sleep well?"

"Yes." Poppy wriggled over into her mother's arms. "I kept waking up cause I was so excited about dresses today!"

"Oh of course you are." Taylor smiled. They were going out today to pick out Poppy's dress for the wedding, which Poppy was over the moon about. She was so excited for us to get married again. 

"Do you know what color dress you want Popstar?" I asked our daughter, ruffling her messy blonde hair.

"Green!" Poppy exclaimed. "But a pretty green, not a gross green."

"Of course." I nodded, exchanging a smile with Taylor. Taylor hugged Poppy close, kissing her hair.

"Mommy can we get ready and go now?" Poppy wriggled impatiently.

"Alright, alright I'm up." Taylor sighed. "Fine."

Poppy scrambled out of bed and ran off excitedly as Taylor moved over into my arms again, lifting up her chin and pressing her lips to mine. My hand found her waist beneath the covers, slipping beneath the little cotton singlet she wore to clasp her bare skin. She sighed, mouth parting slightly as our warm breath mingled.

"Okay." Taylor eventually breathed. "She'll come drag me out in a minute. I gotta get up."

"Mkay." I sighed, disappointed like every morning when I had to let Taylor out of my arms. "You two have fun."

"I'll send you pictures." Taylor promised with one last kiss planted on my lips before rolling over and getting up.

I watched with a fond smile on my face as Taylor got dressed, completely entranced by her. Even though I told her a million times a day, I swore she'd never be able to understand how much I fucking loved her. Her and I were forever.

"You're so cute." Taylor laughed when she looked over and saw me watching. "Don't you have things to do today?"

"Not until I can't indulge my eyes with you anymore." I murmured as I looked her up and down, and she rolled her eyes playfully at me.
