Kaylor Family One-Shots

Australia [AU] (Part Two)

Two Years Later...

Karlie's P.O.V

"Karlie we have a drama on the game floor, Ashton has blown the code again and Mr Pecking would like you to go and fix it." I look up and throw my pen down in disgust.
"Again, come on Angela. Can't you tell Mr P that I'm busy? You know actually making sure this company stays above the ground." Angela looks at me and sighs softly which makes me smile a soft smile at her, I know it's not Angela's fault that Ashton keeps blowing the code and I've fixed it four times today alone, making it twenty four times this week and it's only Thursday so I'm guessing that I'm going to have a busy few days if he continues to do this. Unfortunately Ashton is also Mr Pecking's son and it is hopeful that one day Ashton will take over the company. Mr Pecking expects all his workers to help Ashton learn about the company but considering it's already been three years and still he refuses to learn the most basic of codes that even the interns can do makes me doubt his skills as a future CEO. "I'll be down in a few Angela," I state looking back at my computer to the new code I was creating to make our games run quicker than anyone else's currently do. "Make it quick Karlie you know Mr P doesn't like to wait..." I look at her and motion towards my computer. "Okay but seriously get onto it. Also I've got something else for you," I look at her and she holds a piece of paper in her hand, I open mine and receive it and she places it down quickly and then says, "Taylor called, she said to tell her she loves you and you have a Skype date later tonight." I grin and nod at her as she leaves and within five minutes I'm off down to Ashton to see the damage that he has inflicted on the company. "What's the damage today Ashton?" I question as he sheepishly looks at me. "I have no idea," I look at the computer and see he's managed to delete everything.
"For god's sake Ashton must you screw this up daily and many times a day at that?" I question as he looks at me. "That's rude Karlie, you are a worker at the company you should be glad that I'm even asking for your help." He states as I eye him,
"Are you serious right now?" I question as he nods. I stand up without fixing the code and step backwards, Ashton looks at me and then looks at the computer. "What are you doing. Fix it Karlie." But I shake my head. "Sorry no can do Ashton, I'm only a worker and this isn't my work so you fix it. I'm off and out." I state walking out of Ashton's office space and back to my own. Angela looks at me and then at the clock. "That was quick," I nod and as I finish nodding Mr Pecking comes charging onto our level. "What the hell was that Kloss!" He yells making Angela cower in the corner. "What was what?" I question politely as he glares at me.
"Ashton was having issues with the coding and as lead coder and supervisor I would have thought that it would be your job to fix it." He states coldly and as I raise my eyebrows at him and say, "Oh so it's my fault that Ashton manages to ruin the code four or five times a day but somehow it's my fault when things don't go as plan." Mr Pecking nods at me and goes to speak but I hold my hand up. "Seeing as I'm not appreciated I'm taking a vacation, Ashton should be able to handle the coding for a few weeks while I go to Melbourne." Mr Pecking's eyebrows shoot up to his receding hairline as he says, "Melbourne? Why Melbourne?"
"My partner is in Melbourne, Taylor lives there and is a songwriter in the city." Mr Pecking nods,
"I didn't know you had a boyfriend Kloss, I've never seen you with anyone," He states.
"I don't have a boyfriend. Taylor is my girlfriend." I say as he looks shocked and I walk past Mr Pecking to Angela who hands me my briefcase that Taylor gave me on our first anniversary and with a big grin she says, "have a good trip Karlie." I nod and within an hour I'm off to the airport for my first flight to Los Angeles, before I fly to Auckland in New Zealand and then onto Melbourne.

It takes me almost thirty two hours to travel to Melbourne and the moment that I clear customs and grab my luggage before heading out to the exit. I walk through and the moment that I'm out I see her, my baby the person that I haven't seen in person before, "Taylor?" I question walking towards her. She smiles that familiar wide smile and then she takes off running towards me. A metre away from me she launches towards me. I catch her in mid-air and her arms wrap around me, "hi baby!" she squeals at me as I laugh and look at her. "Hi Taylor..." I step backwards as she slides down and places her feet firmly on the ground. I look down at her and smile. "So this is Australia, so far I like it. Lots of pretty girls..." Taylor giggles and hugs me once more. "Come on let's get going." I nod and follow her out of the terminal towards her car. We travel towards Taylor's apartment walking in she greets the owners Patrick and Patricia Owens and introduces me, they are extremely excited to meet me and before long we head up to the seventeenth floor of the twenty two story building and walk to apartment 186. I watch as Taylor unlocks her door and invites me in, all of a sudden two balls of fur sit up on the white couch and climb down and move towards Taylor. I set my suitcase down as Taylor walks into her kitchen and pulls out a jug of water. "Would you like one?" I nod as she gestures towards the couch I take her up on her offer but the moment that I see the night sky behind me I look out to the balcony. "You want?" she questions coming up behind me, I turn and place a kiss on her cheek.
"Very much so, it's beautiful." She blushes and lets us out onto the balcony where the warm air laps around my face sending my hair every way. "Beautiful Taylor, no wonder I can't entice you to come to Toronto, I don't have much to offer you." I watch her look away as the wind sweeps her bangs away from her face and shows me her brilliant blue eyes. "Maybe another time. I've taken these three weeks off to spend with you." She gushes making my heart palpitate faster in my body. I grin at her as she says, "would you like to see the rest of the apartment?" I nod and we take our glasses back inside and put them in the sink. Taylor starts to show me around, showing me her music room where her piano is, her guest room where I expect to be staying which is just off from the kitchen and the Taylor's room which has a bathroom attached to it. "Wow this is amazing Taylor." I state gazing around Taylor's room which looks out across Melbourne from her bed decorated in a white duvet with soft grey pillows and a pale coloured print on the wall above her bed.
