Chapter 17- Made A Rebel Of A Careless Man's Careful Daughter

Before Taylor left for the rest of the North America tour dates, we promised to make time for each other as often as we can. Taylor is pretty much on the road non-stop for the next month and a half, and we've only been apart for a week, but today I'm going out to Corpus Christi in Texas to watch her perform for the first time.

She has four days at home after this show, so she's performing tonight and then I'm going to stay with her at the hotel and we're going to go back to Nashville tomorrow. I'm really excited to get to see her perform because it is a privilege I haven't yet experienced, but I can't help being a little nervous of her publicist and manager hanging around.

I got off my four hour flight about ten minutes ago and I'm currently making my way through the airport to find the blonde in the car park. Taylor isn't as nervous about me being here as I am, she keeps insisting that nobody will think any different because her friends come out to shows all over the place all the time.

I spot her security car almost straight away when I get to the car park and I go over to it, Taylor's security guard getting out to open the door for me. "Hey baby," the blonde grins as I get in beside her and Taylor immediately pulls me into a kiss, "I missed you," I smile against her lips and Taylor pushes my hair behind my ear as she smiles too, "I missed you most."

I pull away from her and look to the empty space where Violet usually is, "where's Vi?" I smile as hold onto her hand and Taylor lays her head on my shoulder, "she was napping so Kellie's watching her until I get back."

I nod in agreement and Taylor smiles as she holds onto my hand as we head back to the venue. "How have you been sleeping?" I coo quietly as I hold her, ever since that night with John she's had trouble sleeping, especially when she's alone. "I've been okay, Violet ends up sleeping beside me most of the time," I nod and kiss her cheek, I hate the effect he had on her. Something in Taylor was lost that day.

"Everyone is going back home tonight, but I told Paula that I want to wait till morning because of Violet. That way we can have tonight and we don't need to worry about any of my team." Taylor peeks up at me as her head rests on my shoulder and I nod, I know she doesn't like sneaking around so hopefully this will make things a little easier.

When we get to the venue we have to let go of each other and whilst there's nobody around but us and security, I pull Taylor into a deep and passionate kiss because I don't know when I'll get the chance again today.

We get out and the security guards escort us through the back of the building so that Taylor can avoid facing her fans out front. The arena is huge and bustling with bodies trying to get everything ready for tonight. Occasionally Taylor will say hi to someone who speaks to her or she'll wave and its really sweet, she's really down to earth even despite her fame and that's another reason I love her.

Finally we reach her dressing room and Taylor let's me inside where we find Kellie and a still sleeping Violet. "Kellie, this is Karlie, Kar this is Kellie, she's my tour mom," Taylor laughs as she introduces me to the woman and I extend a hand to her but she jusr shakes her head and hugs me instead. "She knows, don't worry," the blonde gives me a reassuring smile and I nod as I hug the woman back. "Glad to know my girls have someone loving on them, but if you hurt them I'll hurt you."

Taylor holds onto my hand as she clings to my arm and I laugh as I nod, "I could never hurt them, I love them." Taylor melts and I press a quick kiss to her lips, but its true, Taylor and Violet are my world. "Can I?" Violet starts to wake up in her travel crib that's stowed away in the corner and Taylor smiles as she nods, letting me go to the baby.
