Dating the soccer star

Chapter 28

TAYLOR'S POV

"Noo, turn that horrible sound off," I whine out as the alarm goes off. "It's not mine baby," Kelley says sitting on the bed. I huff and roll over to turn it off. I turned around to go back to sleep, but Kelley spoke up, "You can't go back to sleeping baby. We have to get up otherwise we're going to miss our flight," She says and giggles a bit, taking a strand of hair out of my face.

"Fine," I say and sit up, rubbing my eyes and yawning not noticing that she is video taping me. "Are you okay?" She asks with a giggle. I stare at her blankly, still in a sleepy daze. "I just realized that your fingers have fingertips and your toes doesn't have toe tips, but you can tiptoe," I say. Kelley chuckles at me, placing a kiss on my forehead.

"Why are you laughing?" I ask her confused still out of it. "You're adorable when you wake up pooka," She says with a dopey grin on her face. I smile at her and close my eyes.

"Go take a shower and I'll pack everything," Kelley says kissing my temple. I turn to look at her sleepily with a small smile, "You sure? I can help pack." I say and let out another yawn, more aware of what's going on than a few minutes ago.

"I'm sure, now go," She says and leans in for a kiss but I pull my head back, "No pooka, I have morning breath," I say. "Fuck morning breath and come here," She says and pulls me in for a kiss. "Hmm that's better," She says and I chuckle.

I walk to my bathroom and close the door. I strip out of my clothes and get in for a quick shower. I hummed as I washed myself and after about ten minutes I'm done, then grab the towel and wrap it around my body. I tried to open the bathroom door but it wouldn't open.

"You've got to be kidding me," I mumble to myself, wiggling the door handle. "Uhh pooka! You there?" I ask, leaning my forehead against the door.

"I'm here, what do you need?" I hear her ask from the other side of the door. "Well, I may or may not have locked myself in the bathroom," I say and laugh at myself. I hear shuffling from the other side and the next thing I know the bathroom door opens.

"Who's the one locking themselves in a bathroom now?" Kelley says, laughing. I let out a groan, but can't help myself but laugh at my stupidity. I get dressed and help Kelley pack the last of our stuff.

"I think that it's everything," Kelley says zipping up the last bag. "Yeah, that should be all of it," I say, walking out of my bathroom to make sure we got everything.

I looked down at my hands trying to hold in my tears. "Come here," Kelley say, walking over with her arms open. She engulfed me and I held on to her shirt. "It's hard to say goodbye to them, even if it is just for a while," I mumble out. "I know, but it doesn't have to be a goodbye. Think of it as a see you later," She says rubbing circles on my back and placing a kiss on my head.

"You know, you are smarter than you look Ms. O'Hara," I say letting out a giggle. "I'll take that as a compliment Ms. Anderson," We both giggle and I pull away to look at her. "I'm really lucky to have someone like you," I say with a dopey grin on my face. "I think I'm the lucky one," I giggle at her, leaning in to give her a kiss.

"Let's go eat some breakfast," She wiped off some tears and turned around, "Hop on," She says and I giggle at her. I jumped on her back and let out a squeak as she took off to the kitchen. "Giddy up horsey!" I yell as 'kick' her sides and attempt to slap her butt, not really succeeding.

She set me down at the table and pulled out he chair for me. I giggled and quickly give her a kiss as a thanks before taking a seat next to me.

"Someone is in a happy mood," Evan says as she too a sip of her orange juice. "Not until a few minutes ago I wasn't," I mumble under my breath thinking that no one heard me.

"Why's that sweetie?" My mom asks with a hint of concern on her face. I give her a small smile before replying, "I'm a bit sad we're leaving," I say looking down to my plate. I feel Kelley place her hand on my thigh, silently indicating that it's going to be okay.

I really hate the fact that I'm not able to see my mom and siblings everyday. Especially saying goodbye to them, I always get emotional and I don't like it.

"Oh sweetie, it's going to alright." My mom says, giving me a reassuring smile. "I don't like getting emotional about this kind of stuff," I mumble out followed by a giggle. "But that's what makes us human," Mom says and I nod my head, smiling at her.

We ate breakfast in a comfortable silence. Once we were done eating, Kelley and I walked to my room to get our bags. All of us walked out of the house and I put our bags in the car. I closed the door and stood next to Kelley who wrapped her arm around my waist.

"Thanks for coming sweetie, I enjoyed the surprise." My mom says as she brings me in for a tight hug. It's a pleasure mom. I'm going to miss you," I say still in her embrace. "Ans I'm going to miss you too, without a doubt, but we'll see each other soon," She says and pulls away a bit to look me in my eyes.

I give her a small smile and she pecks my forehead, "I love you sweetie. Take care of yourself and don't let that one go. I like her," My mom says gesturing to Kelley saying goodbye to my sister. I laugh a bit, nodding my head, "I will mom,"

I let go of my mom and switch places with Kelley, "Take care of mom and yourself," I say and wrap my arms around her. "You know I will. You do the same especially with that one, she's a keeper." I laugh and hug her one more time. We stand and watch the interaction between my mom and Kelley.

Kelley pulled away from the hug and wiped her eyes. She walked over to me and stood next to me, "Why are you crying pooka?" I ask and take her hand in mine. "Your mom welcomed me into the family and thanked me for looking after her baby girl," I smile spread across my face as I listened to her. I look over towards my mom who nodded her head.

I hugged them both one last time before getting in the car. I rolled down the windows and start the engine.

"Drive safe and let me know when you landed. I love you, both of you," My mom says. "I love you too," Kelley and I say simultaneously. "Hey stay out of trouble," My sister says and I laugh at her. "No promises,"

"Look after each other," Evan says and I nod my head placing my hand on Kelley's thigh.

I pull out of the driveway and honked the horn, waving as we drove away.

"Ready to go home?" I asked her. "Hmm," She replies, leaning over the console placing a kiss on my cheek.
