Dating the soccer star

Chapter 27

TAYLOR'S POV

An hour or so later we were done surfing and started to pack up.

I walked towards Kelly while Kelley dried off. "Hey, thank you for doing this. I can tell you now she won't shut up about today." I say to him. "No problem kid, you know you are as good as family to me." He says and brings me in for a hug.

I pulled away and thanked him again before walking towards Kelley. "Hey Taylor," He says making me stop and turn to look at him. "Keep her around," He says and nods his head towards where Kelley is. I look at him with a smile on my face, "I wouldn't have it any other way," I say and walk to Kelley.

"That was so awesome. I mean like who gets to surf with the Kelly Slater? That doesn't happen everyday," She says throwing her hands in the air as she talks. "I'm glad you enjoyed it," I say and place my arms around her neck, pulling her in for a kiss. I feel her arms snake around my waist pulling me closer. "I love you," She says and pecks my lips again. "I love you too," I say and pull away from her hold to pick up our stuff.

We got to the car and put everything inside and we drove off. As I stop at a red light, my phone pings. Kelley tagged me in a post. There is two pictures. One with the three of us and the second one of us. My arm was around her shoulders and hers around my waist, her holding her surfboard and me kissing her cheek. I smiled at the pictures and read the caption,

Ladies and gentleman, today my beautiful girlfriend took me surfing with @kellyslater.... Kelly frikkin' Slater. A dream come true! Love you to bits @taylortinthemaking

"You're a real goof," I say to her, smiling as she giggles. I drive once the light turned green and make the short drive to another beach where the others are. As I reverse the car on the ramp Kelley's phone rang and she laughed, picking it up.

"You got to fucking surf with Kelly Slater?!?" I hear the unmissable voice of Ashlyn Harris. I chuckle as I see Kelley turning her phone a bit so that she can see the both of us over FaceTime. "You bet your ass I did," Kelley says and I laugh at the two of them. "I'm so fucking jealous of you now! How did you even pull it off?" Ash asks with Ali giggling in the background.

"Well Taylor's dad and Kelly was best friends so yeah that's how it happened," Kelley replies. "Was?" I hear Ash ask. "Uh yeah my dad passed away a few years ago, but Kelly still keeps contact with my family," I say. "I'm sorry T," Ash says and I smile at her, "Don't worry about it Ash, but next time your surfing with us," I say. "I'm gonna hold you to that," She says and makes us laugh. "Hey Ash we have to go now," Kelley says. "No problem, talk later bitches!" I hear Ash yell and disconnect the call.

"I'm going to unhook the trailer and get the jet ski in the water. Can you please stay with it while I go park the car?" I ask Kelley. "You got it," She says and we get out. We unhook the trailer and push the jet ski in the water. "I'll be quick," I say and peck her lips. I take the trailer and hook it again. I drive back to parking lot and park in the empty space next to my sisters truck.

I grab the two life jackets and get out, locking the car. I jog towards Kelley and hand her one of the life jackets. We put it on before getting on the jet ski. "Do you want to drive?" I ask her. "No, you can. It's way more fun when you drive," She says and I chuckle.

We push the jet ski further into the water, past the waves. I climb on first then give Kelley a hand. Once she's on I start the jet ski. "You ready?" I ask as I feel her hands wrapping around my waist with a kiss on the back of my neck. I take that as a yes and drive. "Tell me if you spot them!" I yell over the engine.

"There they are!" I hear her yell and point towards a boat dragging a tube with people on it. "You thinking what I'm thinking?!" I yell and I hear her laugh. "You know I do!" She yells back.

I speed up driving straight towards Ella and my sister on the tube. "Hold on!" I yell and make a sharp left turn splashing them with water. We laugh and her them yelling at us. The boat comes to a stop and I switch off the engine as we near them. "Howdy ya'll," I say let out a chuckle.

"Pass me that rope please," I say to Carla. She throws it to me, "Thanks," I say and she nods. I quickly tie the jet ski to the boat and wait for Kelley to get off first before I do.

"I swear to god I'm going to kill you," I hear Ella say as she gets off the tube and onto the boat, along with my sister. "I saw the opportunity and took it," I say and smirk at them. I got out two beers for me and Kelley and sat down next to her, handing her one. She rests her legs over mine and gave me a kiss on my cheek.

All of us talked and laughed at stories from when we were little.

*****************************

"I think what I'm going to miss most here is the time we spent together on the boat," Kelley says as we lay in bed after spending our last day on the water.

"I'm just glad that you got to meet my family, well part of my family." I say cuddling closer to her. "But next time we come to South-Africa we are staying longer. There is so much I still want to show you about our culture and stuff. Oh and go to our farm, you'll be a real farmer when you leave or more like a boertjie as we call it." I say and we giggle.

"I love it when you talk in your language. I find it intriguing, especially when you talk and with some words your accent slips." Kelley says which makes me chuckle. We lay there just talking about our time here when Kelley's phone rings.

She leans over to grab it from the night stand. "It's Katie," She says before picking up.

"Hey Katie.... I'm doing good thanks..... yeah that won't be a problem, but I have to check with her first," I listen to the one sided conversation. Kelley turns to look at me and pulls the phone away from her ear a little. I raise one of my brows, looking confused.

"Katie Nolan wants to know if we want to do an couples interview with her." She says and I nod my head, "Sounds fun," I say. Kelley places the phone back to her ear before replying, "Okay, we'll do it..... great see you then,"

'When does she want to do the interview?" I ask as Kelley repositions herself, laying on top of me wrapping her leg and arm around me, snuggling her head in my neck. "Hmm the fifteenth," She mumbles into my neck, her breath giving me shivers.

"Okay, you wanna take a little nap before dinner?" I ask her, running my fingers through her hair. "Yeah," She replied placing a kiss on my neck. "I'll wake you up when dinners ready," I say and feel her nodding.

I just lay there playing with her hair, loving the fact that she's in my arms.
