Fireworks Part 3

AN: As promised :)

August 11th 2023

Taylor's POV:

Sunlight filters in through my blinds pulling me out of the best sleep I've had in such a long time. Slowly blinking the sleep out of my eyes I glance at my phone sitting on the nightstand and see a few texts from Selena and Blake asking about my date last night, and one from Travis a few minutes ago.

Travis, last night, the kisses, all flash in my mind causing a blush to warm my cheeks as I swipe over to see his message.

Travis: Good Morning Beautiful! I'm headed out on a run but should be back in around a hour. Just let me know when you are available to hang out. :)

I glance at the time and see it is already 10am and sit up straight feeling panic wash over me.

Taylor: Good Morning! I hope you have a nice run. Want to come over at like 12?

That gives me two hours to get showered, get ready, and start cooking some food up for us. After my shower I am sitting in front of my vanity when I respond to Blake and Selena.

Taylor: Date went amazing. He's even better than I remembered.

Blake: Is he currently at your house?

Selena: How was he?!

Taylor: OMG! You guys are awful! I did not bring him home.

Taylor: .... But I wanted to

Selena: AHH!

Blake: I looked him up. You should've. You know what they say about big feet and big hands right?

Selena: Good point. He's massive. I'm sure that correlates everywhere...

Taylor: Why am I friends with you two?

Blake: You love us.

Blake: So when are you seeing football man again?

Taylor: He's coming over at noon.

Selena: TO YOUR HOUSE?! Hope you have fun ;)

Blake: Oh he's totally seeing her bedroom.

Taylor: I hate you both.

I stop responding to the girls and move into the kitchen as it nears 11:30. As the breakfast casserole cooks in the oven I start overanalyzing every aspect of my house. When was the last time someone dusted the ceiling fan in the guest bedroom (there is literally no reason for him to even go in there)? Is the vanilla candle in the living room overpowering? Should I put the cats up in the guest bedroom so they don't cause a scene? My phone lights up with a text from Drew. 

Drew (Security): Sending Mr. Kelce up now. 

I can feel my heartbeat pick up at the mention of his name and knowing in just a few seconds he will be here. I let out a deep breath as I run my hands down my sundress to smooth it out and fix a loose curl that has fallen out of my claw clip. Two piercing knocks echo through the apartment alerting me of Travis's arrival. You got this girl, you have already met him twice now. I tell myself as I unlock the door and pull it open. 

His startling blue-green eyes meet mine as he comes into view with a large grin on his face. 

"These are for you gorgeous." He says holding out a bouquet of sunflowers wrapped in a light blue glitter paper. 

I couldn't even tell you the last time a man gave me flowers, probably back at the beginning of when Joe and I started dating. 

"These are beautiful, thank you. Come on in." Holding the flowers gently in one hand I reach out with my right hand and lace my fingers through Travis's leading him through the entry way.
