We've Got Game

The Game Night Part Two

Taylor bolted out of the dining room, squealing as she fled the victorious chaos she and Jason had left in their wake. "You better run!" Travis shouted behind her, already rounding the table with mock fury and a giant grin on his face. The rest of the Kelce crew erupted in cheers and laughter.

"I'm the queen of game night!" Taylor hollered back over her shoulder, turning the corner into the living room and nearly slipping on the rug in her socks. "Bow down!" "You're about to be the queen of getting wrecked," Travis muttered playfully to himself as he gained on her. Taylor made it to the couch and half-launched herself over the backrest, trying to hide behind a pillow. It bought her two seconds.

Then, strong arms, warm and relentless, wrapped around her waist and hauled her backward. "Nooooo!" she shrieked, laughing already as Travis tossed her over his shoulder with ease. "This is an abuse of NFL power!!" Taylor joked reaching down and tickling his sides from his shoulder. He gasped and twitched. "I warned you," Travis said, smirking. "You can't just waltz in here, win one game, and call yourself queen without consequences."

He carried her back into the dining room, Taylor flailing playfully in his grip as everyone else looked on, laughing. So happy that Travis was showing this side of him."She's gonna cry 'uncle' in 60 seconds," Jason said smugly. "Oh no," Taylor said as Travis set her down on the floor gently—but then loomed above her like a shadow. "You're not actually—Travis—noooo!" But it was already too late. Travis pounced, gently pinning her down, fingers dancing toward her ribs. "Say I'm the true king of game night," he said over her laughter already bubbling out, eyes glinting. "Never!" Taylor cried defiantly. "Wrong answer." His hands dove in.

Taylor exploded into laughter, writhing under him, legs kicking and body twisting as she tried to block the attack."Travis!!" she wheezed, already blushing madly. "You're so annoying when you lose!!"

"Say it." He said, also giggling. "I'm not—" she hiccuped on a giggle—"saying it! You'll have to break me first!"
"Challenge accepted," Travis teased, digging into her sides again and smirking when he found that particularly effective spot just under her ribcage. Taylor let out a yelp and a glorious snort-laugh that made the entire table burst out laughing again. "Oh there's the spot!" Travis crowed in triumph. "Ladies and gentlemen, we've found the royal tickle zone!"

Taylor was breathless, curled into a ball, shrieking with laughter and no real intention of getting away. "You're so mean," she gasped between helpless giggles, "I hate you." "You love me" Travis fired back. "I do, but you're awful."

He slowed the tickling just enough to let her breathe, brushing her hair back and grinning down at her. "Admit I'm the game night king." Taylor narrowed her eyes, chest heaving with giggles. "Fine. You're the... prince.""Prince?" He asked smiling, shocked at her defiance still and unwillingness to give. He smirked and made his way to her feet. She gasped. "Okay! King!" she surrendered. "Just stop trying to find new spots to torture me with!" She giggled.

Travis laughed and pulled her into a hug. "You're such a good sport, angel."

Donna, wiping tears from her eyes from laughing so hard, turned to Kylie and Jason. "You know, I never imagined Taylor Swift would be our family's number one game night clown." Kylie grinned and Jason clapped Travis on the back. "Bro, you picked a winner. Anyone who can laugh like that with us is meant to stick around." Taylor sat up, hair wild, cheeks flushed, and grinned from ear to ear. "I haven't laughed this hard in years," she admitted, voice warm with gratitude. "I think I'm keeping all of you." Taylor added. "You don't have a choice," Donna said, walking over to kiss the top of her head. "You're already one of us."

Taylor looked around—at Kylie's smirk, Jason's goofy proud face, Ed's grin, and Travis still sitting beside her, fingers twitching like he might go in for another tickle attack. She flopped back onto the rug, arms spread dramatically. "Okay. I definitely won tonight."She said. Blushing and all," Travis whispered, winking. Taylor laughed, then pulled him down beside her and whispered back, "Better sleep with one eye open, King Game Night."
