Taking On A New Challenge (Graylor)

Trouble With Mary

Chapter 35

Taylor POV

Last night was amazing and I never wanted it to end, I never wanted to wake the following morning and realise that the night where Grant made me feel so special had ended. However the universe had other ideas as the sun shone in through the curtains, waking me from my peaceful slumber with the man I love. It wasn’t like it woke me early though as when I looked at the clock and it read 12:30, I knew that we had to get up and moving or we would be late getting back to the arena. How did we even sleep that late? I never sleep that late I say waking up properly and adjusting to the light. I needed to go out and get lunch before heading back to the arena to do the interviews, prepare/ do the show tonight and then fly back to Nashville afterwards as I really didn’t want to stay another night in Vegas.

It wasn’t that I didn’t like Vegas as I did but I didn’t like being away from Mary when I know that something is wrong, she’d not told me but she didn’t have to I just had the instinct – and my mom told me something was different with her. My private jet allowed me to fly wherever I needed to whenever I needed to which was really convenient in this situation. It would appear that everything with school isn’t as fine as Mary makes them appear to be. Mum didn’t confess the whole story to me as I knew that she didn’t want to break Mary’s trust after their day but the issue was something she wanted me to know. I just want to get back to Mary and work out what’s going on at school to see if I can help at all. I’m not going to stand around and let her get picked on if that’s happening as I’ve been there and I’m not going to let it happen with her if I can help it.

“Baby…Grant” I say shaking him lightly to try and wake him up, which is not an easy task as he’s a deeper sleeper than I am. I watched as he started to stir and his eyes open to look up at me.

“Morning Beautiful” Grant wrapped his arms round me like he’d done before we’d fallen asleep in the early hours of this morning.

“More like afternoon, we have to get going” I say wriggling out of the bed, wrapping the sheet around me and walking to the bathroom with my dress which I had to wear for my interviews. It was about 12:30 and I needed to go to the interviews about 2pm.

“You don’t have to wear the sheet when you’re with me. I’ve seen it all anyway” Grant calls which makes me smirk as he had a point considering last night but I’m too much of a modest person to walk around the hotel room completely nude – anything could happen.

“You focus on getting yourself ready baby, we really have to get going. I can’t be late for the interviews and we still need to get lunch” I call out to him to whom I hear him mimic me which was funny because it was him doing it – I really did love his sense of humour.

On the way back to the arena we stopped off at a cute little bakery so that I was able to grab something to eat before stopping off at Starbucks for a coffee as well. Grant wasn’t particularly hungry and I knew that he would probably eat later but I was starving and without food in my system then I wouldn’t be able focus properly when I’m doing the interviews. The interviewers would have a whole list of questions for me about all kinds of things and I really needed to be able to focus to be able to give the best answer for them and my fans which is why I needed the coffee and something to eat before I could even go in there.

When we arrived at the arena where the iHeartRadio Music Festival was being held and where we would be performing tonight, I knew that there wasn’t a lot of time before the interviews started. I gave Grant a quick kiss and told him I’ll see him when I’m done before being led away to get touch ups on my makeup and hair. Although there are only 5 interviews this afternoon I really wasn't in the mood for the endless questions about my new album, Mary, my private life (which I will never answer anyway) and my performance tonight. I get that each interview is for different people and everything but my fans will watch them all because they do that – which is really sweet. However the questions are either the same or very similar with each interview and I didn’t really want to have to repeat myself over and over again. I normally didn’t really mind but I wasn’t in the mood for it today and I don’t know why.
