Always [ON HOLD]

Chapter 1

Taylor's POV

2:10am

I just came back from Asia where I finished the Red Tour and I walk through the doors of my New York apartment. I could practically hear my bed calling out my name, and to say I was exhausted is an understatement.

I say a quick thanks to Sebastian, my bodyguard, who placed my bags on the floor and give him a tip. Olivia bolts to the door and I pick her up.

"Awwww. Hi Liv! I missed you so much!" I played with her for a while, and then something hit me.

Why the heck are all the lights on?

As I walk through the hall to look for some kind of clue, I enter my living room and hear a faint sound of snoring and see a figure sleeping on my couch.

The hell?

Oh God, what if someone decided to break into my apartment while I was gone and got tired so they took a nap?

Yes Taylor, that's probably it. I should really stop watching TV for a while.

I slowly walked up to the figure and immediately recognised the beautiful face sleeping on my couch with Meredith on her lap.

Karlie.

I smiled as I looked down at the gorgeous model. She was already wearing pyjamas: a pair of really short, pink shorts that showed off her long, tanned legs and a white tank top that said "Kiss Me".

I really wanted to kiss her.

Dammit Taylor, get your hormones under control!

Her left leg was dangling off the couch and her hand was placed on Meredith's back.

"Karls, come on wake up, it's me Taylor," I whispered as I slightly shook her shoulders.

"Hmmm?" She murmured. She looked adorable.

Karlie looked around the room, taking in all her surroundings and her eyes fell on me.

"Taylor! You're back! Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaah," she stood up, Meredith almost flying and giving Karlie the famous glare, and embraced me in a bear hug. She hugged me so tight, I thought every single bone in my body was gonna break.

"Karl- Ka- Karlie!! You're gonna break my back!" I said.

"Oh sorry, I just missed you so much!" She laughed. Her laugh sent shivers down my spine and she gave me a quick kiss on the cheek. I flushed bright red, which she noticed and started laughing again.

"Awwww, Taylor you're blushing!"

"No I'm not, you just hugged me so tight, all the blood came to my face and I-"

"Oh stop lying you nerd! You love it."

I do love it.

But I wasn't going to admit that.

"Come on, you have to tell me all about your trip to Asia!" She squealed with a big smile on her face while she intertwined our fingers.

"I will, as soon as you explain how you got into my apartment? And why are you even up this late?" I asked looking up at the taller girl. I raised an eyebrow at her and waited for her answer.

"Don't you remember? You gave me a key right before you left, so that I could check up on the cats and keep the apartment clean. Duuuuuh. And I also wanted to see you when you came back," Karlie stated with a small smile.

"Oh yeah, I forgot. I think the jet lag is getting to me... Come on, let's go to the kitchen and make some hot coco. I'll tell you all about my trip!" I smiled.

We walked to the kitchen, still holding hands, and I made us some coco. While we drank the hot beverages, I told her how amazing the fans were and what we did for the rest of the trip.

"Sounds like you had fun, but next time I'm coming with," she said taking a sip of the delicious warm drink. We kept talking about random things.

I missed this, just me and Karlie talking. Over the last couple of months, we were busy with work that we barely saw each other.

I checked the clock and it was almost 3am.

I asked her how things were going with Josh, her boyfriend, and her smile faded instantly and her eyes started to water.

"Hey, what's wrong?" I asked standing up from my chair and placing my hands on either side of her face.

"Josh..."

"Josh?"

She started crying.

"Josh, he- he broke up with me. He said he didn't want me in his life anymore. I-I knew we fell out of love awhile ago, but I still c-care about him. But obv-v-viously he doesn't care about me," she said in between sobs.

Seeing her in this state made me really sad, but I also wanted to jump up and down in happiness knowing that Karlie is now single and that I can make her fall for me.

"Hey, don't worry Karls. He doesn't deserve you. You need someone who will love you with all their heart and make you happy. And I promise you that that person will be coming in your life soon."

Karlie smiled at me and gave me another hug.

"Thanks Tay, it really means a lot."

We sat there for a while, still hugging each other.

"You wanna go out and do something this week?"

She nodded her head.

"That would be great. But can we please go to bed now? I am really tired." Karlie asked.

"Yeah sure,"

My heart was doing back flips just thinking about sharing a bed with Karlie. It became a habit, the both of us sharing a bed if the other individual wanted to sleep over.

Karlie was already in her pyjamas, so I went to the bathroom for a quick shower while she headed straight for the bed.

But I couldn't help but think about who would end up with Karlie and make her happy for the rest of her life.

But I sure hope it is me.
