A Second Thought (a taylor swift and ed sheeran fanfic)

Perfect Puzzle Pieces

Ed's POV

  "She said that she doesn't want us to date."

   Complete and utter shock rambled through my body. Does Andrea really hate me that much? I began to retract my hands from Taylor's and shrink down to the floor. I felt as if I was only the size of an ant that Taylor could easily step on and crush. Both of us sat in complete silence for quite sometime, time felt as if it had frozen around us.

  "Ed.." I heard Taylor say hardly above a whisper

   I was both scared and unprepared to say anything in that moment, but it wasn't Taylor's fault. I shouldn't be blocking her out for something her mother had said. It took everything in me because it had felt as if I had been beaten both physically and emotionally, to stand in front of Taylor. Her eyes followed my every movement and never left mine as if she thought I might walk away or disappear right in front of her.

     "Come here." I said to her with my arms wide open.

    In that very same instant she bolted out of the chair and straight into my arms without hesitation. We stood there holding each other as if we would never see each other again, and maybe like this holding, comforting each other, holding hands, and kissing we never would.

  
   Taylor's POV

   I was beyond relieved when Ed opened his arms to welcome me in. I could feel my heart coming back together piece by piece. It just felt right, to be in his arms and to be smelling his amazing and unique scent. I wanted to cry again but out of happiness but no tears would come. I pulled my head away from his chest but remained in his arms. I just stood there looking up at him and into his bright eyes. No words were said, but we knew what the other had said. I reached my hand up to touch his face and his eyes suddenly closed again. That is the moment I began to say something,

   "Ed can you look at me?" I asked him soon after his eyes opened and were on me, "Now that I have told what my mother has said I want to say something." I said to him.

    "I am a 23 year old woman, who has been going on tour since she was 18, Yes my mother has tagged along but she has never gone on stage with me to help me sing the songs that I write. I am old enough now to be without my mother's input on every aspect of my life, I am also old enough to know what I want and who I want." I continued.

    "And Ed that's you, no matter how my mother feels about our relationship. It's you and I not you, her, and I."

   At this point I can see Ed's eyes beginning to glass over with tears and I just stood there looking at him again, waiting for him to say something but he just looked awe struck.

    "You know Ed you could totally say something at any time." I said partially laughing.

    The ends of his mouth turned up into a smile and I mirrored his smile. His grip on me tightened slightly as if I were a dream that was going to end any second. Then he bent down slightly and put his head next to my ear and whispered,

   "I love you Taylor Alison Swift." as shudders went through my body from the heat of his breath and the statement he had just made.

  Once he had pulled back to where I could see his face again I put my hands on his face and looked straight into his eyes.

   "I love you too Edward Christopher Sheeran." then I leaned up to kiss him.

    This kiss was not like our previous ones, I was not short as if used as a goodbye but rather a promise. A promise to stand together no matter the situation or against anyone or anything. Most of all it was a kiss that said I love you and I'm your and you are mine. When we pulled away no words in any dictionary could describe what we felt. I ran my fingers over his face as if I were mesmerizing it. Then Ed put his hand over mine and brought our fingers down intertwined by our sides. His thumb began to draw invisible circles on the back of my hand, this moment was absolute bliss.

   "Ed?" I said to him while looking down at our fingers, which looked like two puzzle pieces that fit perfectly together.  

   "Yes my queen?" he responded.

     I looked up at him and said,

     "Now that you have my heart, please try not to break it."

      "I wouldn't dream of it Taylor, you are too beyond perfect for your heart to belong to me, but while I have it, I will guard it and you with my life." he says as he bends down again to kiss me.
