Saving Her (Taylor Caniff)

Chapter Three

* Courtney P.O.V *

I woke up late, Taylor sleeping silently beside me. It was a scene I'd seen a thousand times before, but this time there was something... different. He always looked so calm while he slept, a slight smile resting on his face, eyes tightly shut and flickered as he dreamt. I propped myself up and watched him for a while; he'd purr lightly every so often and I'd giggle quietly. If only I could see into his head.

My phone vibrated on the table making me jump. I pressed a button and the screen lit up. A text from Cam.

From: My Bae xXx

Hey Court, what you up to today?

Wanna go to the mall? xxx

I slid out of bed,without disturbing Tay, and flicked through my clothes. I dropped Tay's tee on the floor and went to pull on my black dress.

"Zayum" Tay called. I squealed and threw my dress at him. He was sitting up in bed, smiling at me. "What? I've seen you in less, remember?" he teased.

"Shut up! Give me back my dress"

"Nope! You threw it, you get it"

"Fine. Cover your eyes"

"Nope" I groaned and stomped across the room in my underwear. He grabbed me and pulled me back in the bed.

"Hey!" I protested half-heartedly.

"You don't have to go" he grinned.

"Yeah, but he's my boyfriend..." I trailed off.

"But nothing" he grinned. he knew as well as I did that I wouldn't be going out today.

To: My Bae xXx

Sorry, Cam. Not feeling too good.

Hang out another time, yeah? xxx

I threw the phone on the floor and snuggled up close to Tay on the bed. "So, what do you wanna do today?"

"Movie day?" he grinned.

"Movie day" I brought down all of the blankets and a bunch of DVD's.

"Start with a soppy romance, and end with a crappy horror?"

Tay smiled, emerging from the kitchen holding two bowls of full of steaming popcorn.

"You and your damn horrors" I sighed emptying a bag of skittles into a bowl.

"Soda or cider?" he smirked at me.

"You know I don't drink" I told him.

"More for me then" he he slotted the disc into the player and joined me on the sofa.

"So about your birthday? What do you want me to get you?"

"You are not allowed to get me anything, I tell you every year" I warn him.

"And I disobey every year" he said, smirking.

"Exactly"

"So what do you want me to not get you this year?"

"Nothing"

"So you don't want me to get you nothing?"

"No. I mean yes, wait! I mean... oh shut up, the movies starting"

I watched him out of the corner of me eye; the cheeky grin that sprawled across his face at the cheesy jokes, the slight frown when the girl picks the wrong guy, then the satisfied smirk when they meet and finally my favourite... the single tear that rolls down his cheek when the hero gets the girl and they kiss. They fade away to some crappy pop song that has nothing to do with the plot.

"I don't see why you like any of that, its pretentious rubbish"

I groaned, dusting ogre my hands. "I like them because they give me hope" He looked over at me and smiled.

Love you all, stay amazing ♡
