Room 13 (Kaylor)

Chapter Sixteen.

A/N: Christmas has come early in this chapter...so did Karlie. Yes here it is.....
_____________________________________

As the weeks go by, Taylor becomes well and truly acquainted with the saying that time heals all wounds.

Because as the weeks go by, and Taylor becomes more accustomed to the idea of Karlie Kloss as her girlfriend, Taylor finds herself in a position she never thought was possible.

She's happy.

Happier than she's ever been in what she's quite sure is her whole entire life. The new medication is efficient, blocks Taylor's OCD from creeping back in from the shadows, Perhaps not as thoroughly as the old medication did, because there's still times where Taylor finds herself fighting the urge to scrub the apartment she lives in with Karlie clean, or times where she finds herself wanting to lock and unlock the front door three times before leaving or entering, but the medication helps her push through it...helps her realize and remember that it's not a necessity, blocks out the thoughts that make her think it is.

And so Taylor, for the first time in her thirty years of life, is able to overcome her OCD, is able to break through the haze her thoughts go into every time she has an attack and is able to push through them, like kicking down a barrier that's been keeping her from living her life for so long, and without the compromise, this time, of her emotions.

Because those, she's sure, are still very much there.

And she knows that, because as the weeks go by, Taylor Swift finds herself falling more and more in love with Karlie Kloss.

It's something she's never felt before, something that wasn't authentic when it came to her love for Joe, something she stupidly thought was romantic when truthfully, it was platonic...but this is something new. Something exciting, something so breathtaking that Taylor still can't quite wrap her head around it.

Because as christmas begins to draw closer and closer and the air begins to become colder and colder around them, Taylor finds herself constantly craving not only the warmth of Karlie's arms wrapped around her, but Karlie's company almost twenty four seven.

It's unhealthy, perhaps, Taylor knows they can't be together all the time, but Taylor finds herself practically glued to Karlie's side the second she comes through the door after work almost every day, kissing her silly until both their lips are bruised. The thing that sucks even more is the fact that even their weekends are now taken up by Karlie having to fly back to Nashville to look over her vacation home, Taylor choosing to tag along every time because she couldn't bear being away from Karlie after spending most of the week away from her. So as much as they crave each other's company, the truth is, they've barely been getting it.

She at least had found a new record company to sign her, finally someone completely respectful it seems, and she was finally writing songs again just to take her mind off missing Karlie, but perhaps it's the time they spend apart that makes her crave her so fucking much. Because the pride that had shone in Karlie's eyes when Taylor had got the call saying she finally found the perfect record company for her, had just made Taylor want her all that much more.

"God, i'm so proud of you, Tay..." Karlie had whispered, tucking locks of hair behind her ear before she had kissed her so passionately, Taylor's mind still spins every time she thinks back on it.

Of course, Taylor hasn't exactly plucked up the courage to take that next step in their relationship yet...hasn't quite plucked up the courage to tell her she loves her...the truth is she's waiting for the right moment. When that moment will come, she isn't sure, but with the way they're constantly busy with work lately...
