I Never Saw You Coming

Chapter Twenty One

*A Couple Months Later*

Taylor's POV

"So, how are you guys liking the 1989 tour?" I asked the crowd into the microphone, to which I received loud cheers. "With this tour, I'm going to continue the tradition of playing a surprise song every night...what do you guys think?" I asked, and again they all cheered and screamed. "Well, tonight, you might be wondering, why is there another microphone next to me? I've already got my own..." I paused. "You see, I need help singing this next song..." I paused again. "It takes two people to sing this song, it's like double the amount, like a duo...oh! It's called a duet!" I exclaimed with a grin on my face, and they went wild. "You know, this song, it's about when you're in this situation, where you meet this one person, and suddenly, the world shifts focus a little bit...you know, this person I sing this song with, he went from being a complete stranger to being someone I couldn't ever possibly be closer to..." I took a breath. "You know, a lot has changed between us...you could say...you could that everything has changed." I said, and they screamed the loudest all night. "The person I sing this song with...I feel like you guys might love him as much as I do...which is a lot, I can assure you...so, you know, I feel like...I feel like if you guys were to cheer loud enough, I feel like...Ed Sheeran might come out and sing for you!" I screamed, and the crowds cheered increasingly loudly.

Ed ran up on stage, and immediately threw his arms round my waist, pulling me close to him, our lips meeting so passionately. The crowds screamed even louder. "Hey beautiful." He greeted sweetly, his arms still wrapped tightly around my waist.

"Hey handsome." I giggled, and we both grinned.

"You've been putting on a great show, and...oh yeah I love you." He joked, and I smiled. We walked over to our microphones, and I gave a grand gesture to my amazing boyfriend.

"Ed Sheeran, everyone!"

"Hello there." Ed greeted with a wave. "Are you good to go, love?" Ed asked, and I nodded with a grin still plastered into my face, never leaving it.

"And all I've seen, since eighteen hours ago, is blue eyes, red hair and your smile, in the back of my mind making me feel like," I changed the lyrics up a little, and Ed grinned and gave me a nod.

We sang through the song easily, and I didn't want it to ever end. We gave our guitars a final strum, and then I looked over at Ed, to see he was already looking at me. "Ed Sheeran!" I screamed into the mic, and the crowds went wild. I expected Ed to come back over and give me a kiss, but he stood planted in his spot. I looked at him for an answer, but he wouldn't meet my gaze this time, instead looking out into the crowd.

"Listen, before I go...I've something I want to ask Taylor, do...do you think I should?" He asked, as if I wasn't standing right next to him. The crowd responded enthusiastically, and Ed smiled. "I'll take that as a yes then." He told them, and then turned to me. "Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful Taylor," he started. "Have I ever told you how much I love you?"

I nodded, unsure of what was going. "Yes," I replied with a smile. "Almost as much as I love you."

"Well, I've been thinking lately, that...that you know, you said that it's fearless to fall in love with your best friend and I think we've both done just that." He started, and I nodded. "You also said, in an interview, that the person you're going to want to spend your life with is someone who you're going to want to just hang out with for the rest of your life, and just continue to have fun with for as long as you live." He bent over for a minute, and placed his guitar on the stage, before standing back up and speaking into the mic, still while looking at me. "I think...I think I've found that person, that I'll always want to hang out with." He paused momentarily. "Come here, love."
