GETAWAY CAR

20. Perfect

Taylor's POV

"Happy Valentine's Day." I grin as I roll over in bed to face Karlie. Her hair is pulled up in a messy bun, her face is bare and the sun is shining through the glass doors and making her already sunny presence shine even brighter. She's so gorgeous, even first thing in the morning as she fights jet lag and baby sleep deprivation. "Happy Valentine's Day, beautiful." She smirks as she props herself up on her elbows and leans in to kiss me.

Our lips meet and the moment is filled with passion, her hands in my hair and mine on her hips but the moment is quickly ruined by the sound of a crying baby. Our sighs are synchronised as we pull apart and I look over to the pack 'n play that's by the bed, mommy duties don't stop when you runaway from life for a while.

I'm only wearing Karlie's shirt and my underwear as I get out of bed and I can sense her watching me as I walk towards the source of the crying. Maisie stops as soon as she spots me and I tie my hair up so she can't grab it. "Good morning, sunshine." I smile down at her as she yawns, she's so adorable. "Let's change your diaper and then we'll join momma back in bed." I coo at her as I lie her on the changing station.

I glance over my shoulder as I undo the poppers on Maisie's onesie, it was too hot to put her in a sleeper so we compromised. "You're staring again." I smirk as I raise an eyebrow at Karlie before turning my attention back to Maisie. She doesn't say anything in return and I just continue changing Maisie before redoing the poppers and picking her up.

I go back to the bed and get in beside Karlie as I lie Maisie between us. "I can't help staring, you're just so beautiful." The corner of her mouth lifts into a smirk as her eyebrow raises and I laugh, "you're the supermodel." She let's Maisie take ahold of her finger as she says, "you could pass for a model any day. You're just as, if not more, gorgeous than the girls I work with." She looks at me disapprovingly but I just look down at Maisie.

"Are we going down to the beach today?" She asks and I nod. We booked a villa just outside of Santorini and it's really secluded and even comes with our own private beach which is a bonus since we won't have to worry about prying eyes. "We'll have to be careful, it'll be hell on Earth if she gets burnt." I note as I stroke the top of Maisie's head and Karlie let's out a breathy laugh as she shakes her head. "Sometimes it's still strange to hear you being so motherly, you were always the mom friend but it's weird how quickly things change." I can't disagree, I still find it strange sometimes.

"I got you something." Karlie smirks as she sits up, crossing her legs. She's only wearing her bra and underwear and I bite my lip as I watch her, "now you're staring." She laughs as she reaches over into the nightstand. "Here, I thought that since I'm going to be away for a while then you could still keep me close to your heart." She hands me a box and I take the lid off, "Karlie, this is beautiful." I gush as I lift a silver necklace out of the box. It has a small silver charm with a 'K' engraved onto it in beautiful cursive writing. "I have one too, but it has a 'T' for Taylor." She has a small smile on her face and I sit up to kiss her, "I got you something too but you'll have to wait to get it." I smirk before meeting her lips with mine. Her hands were resting on my hips but now they are running over the bare skin under my shirt and her touch sends chills down my spine. She always worries about touching me because she knows I still get jumpy, but I know she would never hurt me.

I pull away from her and she pouts at the sudden loss of contact. "Later," I smirk playfully and she exhales frustrated. "How long is later?" She calls after me as I walk out of the room with Maisie in my arms and I simply turn and wink at her as I walk further down the hall.
