I Never Saw You Coming

Chapter Nineteen

*A Month Or Two Later*

Taylor's POV

My eyelids fluttered open and were met by a bright light, no doubt the mid-morning sun shining through the curtains. I looked down to see two colorfully tattooed arms still wrapped tightly around my waist, and I could feel Ed's body pressed to my back. I smiled and receded further into him, wishing to never have to get out of bed.

"Mm..." He said a few minutes later.

"Good morning." I replied cheerily, rolling over in his arms to face him. The corners of his lips tugged upwards into a warm smile, begging to be kissed.

I reached my hand up and ran it through his fiery red hair, before pulling his head close to mine, closing the gap of a few inches that separated us, and pressing our lips together in a kiss. He was a little startled, as he was still half asleep. He quickly caught on though, and reached his hands around my waist, pulling me closer.

"I think I'd like to be awoken like that every morning." He told me with a laugh, and I grinned.

"That can certainly be arranged, Mr. Sheeran." I joked, and he smiled.

"You're so beautiful when you're happy, just right now, being able to keep you this close and see you this happy is such an amazing thing for me."

"Do you know why I'm happy?" I asked with a smart look on my face, and he thought about it for a moment.

"Because you're a huge pop star, known globally?" He asked, and I shook my head.

"That's a part of it, but maybe add in someone I met along the way of being a huge pop star that's known globally."

"Hm...Selena Gomez?" He asked, purposefully avoiding himself.

"Yes, Sel makes me happy, but there's someone else, I feel like you know him quite well...he's my boyfriend, he's my best friend, he's got the voice of an angel, red hair, tattoos...." I trailed off.

"Well, who might that be?" He asked, with a grin on his face saying that he knew exactly who I was talking about.

"I'm so happy because I'm living with you, think of how amazing that is! Waking up every morning with your arms wrapped around my waist, and then being able to come back at night and fall asleep the same way, it's so....perfect, for me. Being able to just constantly hang out with you like this is so wonderful, Ed, I don't think I can explain to you how much I love it, how much I love you." I told him, and pulled him in for another kiss.

He smiled, looking me directly in the eyes. "I love you just as much, if not more, love. I think I find it equally exciting to find you in my arms every morning, I love having you so close to me. I also like thinking that I could wake up every morning, for the rest of my life, like this, with you this close to me, and that is really one of the best things someone could ever tell me." He never broke his gaze once, and I grinned.

"I think I'd like that, waking up in the rest of your arms for the rest of my life, even when we're 80 years old and our hair's all grey..." I agreed, staring deep into his eyes and grinning at the thought that I could get lost in them every morning of my entire life. "I'd definitely like that."

"Me too, love. What do you say we go and get some breakfast together?" He asked, and I grinned and nodded.

"That'd be awesome." I told him, placing another kiss on his lips before getting out of bed.

Half and hour later, we were getting in the car. I sat down in the passengers seat, Ed in the drivers, before grabbing each other's hand and holding it tight. I turned on the radio, and our ears were immediately filled with my own voice.

"Oh, oh oh." It started right at the beginning of Mine, and I giggled. I leaned over and placed a kiss on Ed's cheek before we both began screaming the lyrics at the top of our lungs.

"AND I CAN SEE IT....YES YES I CAN SEE IT NOW." We finished, screaming.

"And now for a hit from Taylor's new boyfriend, here's Ed Sheeran's Sing!" The radio announcer said, and the car's speakers were filled with the familiar opening chords.

"ITS LATE IN THE EVENING, GLASS ON THE SIDE..." Again, both Ed and I screamed every last lyric to the song, and if anyone had been with us in the car, they would've had no idea we were both award winning singers.

"WOOO!" I screamed when Sing finished. After that some other random song came on, and we turned it down. I leaned over and placed another kiss on Ed's cheek.

"You are the best thing that's ever been mine, love." Ed told me, and I giggled.

"Awe, you are too, Ed, you most definitely are too." I agreed, and he smiled.

We made it to the small cafe soon after, and Ed parked and then sweetly helped me out of the car. "This way, Ms. Swift." He said, taking my hand in his and leading me into the cafe. I giggled and held him as close as possible as we walked in and took our seat. We ordered and then sat in a happy silence, holding hands and grinning as we stared longingly into each others' eyes.

"You know, for the first day of the 1989 tour, since I'm still going to do the wild card song every night, I was thinking, and you totally don't have to if you don't want to, but...I was thinking, maybe, you could come and sing Everything Has Changed with me, for the wild card song, if you wanted, of course you don't have to, but, I was just thinking...like...yeah." I mumbled, staring down at the table. Ed gave my hands a quick squeeze.

"I'd love that, Taylor!" He told me, and I met his gaze again.

"Really?" I asked.

"Of course! That would be great, love, that'd be amazing! And you know...you wouldn't just have to introduce me as your best friend anymore, and we could kiss instead of hug, if you'd like..." He suggested, and I grinned.

"Ladies and gentleman, here's my boyfriend, Ed Sheeran!" I said with a grand gesture, and then mimicking the sounds of a crowd. "And then you'd walk up and kiss me, I'd love that Ed." I told him with a smile, and he grinned.

"Everything really has changed, between us, love." He said, and I nodded in agreement.

"And I like it much better now, like this, knowing you better, I really really like it."
