-Taylors Pov-

The plane touch down in the Bahamas and I feel free because barely anyone knows where we are, we are totally out of the radar of the paparazzi, and it feels amazing. Don't get me wrong, I love my job and are eternally grateful, but sometimes I need to feel like I can move around without being scared of cameras catching every move I make. This is especially true now when I'm essentially in hiding from the world.

We wait for the crew to get out our luggage before we make our way to the waiting car. Customs have already meet us inside the plain and scanned our passports and such. The air that hits us when we exit the plane is a warm contrast to the chill weather back in London. Thankfully the car has air-condition though so we aren't confined inside of a car with the intense heat outside.

The driver exit the airport and we start the half hour drive to the resort. We are staying at a lowkey but 5-star place. It has bungalows so we have kind of our own space, and we can choose if we want to eat at the main building or have stuff delivered to our bungalow.

"I'm so excited to go away with you joe, this will be so much fun" I say really excited, and he chuckles lightly and take my hand "I've never been here before, so I'm really excited. And it's even better that I am here with the woman I love"

"But you need to promise me that if you see sea urchins in the water, because those things can kill you. they can get stuck in your foot and then you need to go to the hospital, and you can lose your foot! You can also lose your hand trying to pull it off your foot!" I stress to him but he just chuckles, so I hit his arm "it's not funny, they're scary. And I'm not going in the water with you if you don't promise me to help me keep an eye out for them" I sigh.

"Then I will keep an eye out for them, I promise my love" he says and kiss my cheek "No scary sea creatures will hurt you when you're with me, I love you too much to let a spikey creature take your foot" he says, and I can feel the humor in his voice "they're scary. Sometimes I have nightmares about them, that I am walking in clear water and out of nowhere they appear and then it gets stuck in my foot and then I die. it's not funny I'm genuinely scared" I say quietly kind of embarrass, maybe he thinks I'm stupid too.

People always make fun of me for this fear. I remember a couple of years ago, when I was doing promo for 1989, Ellen brought it up and made fun of me for it and then the whole crowd laughed. She made me feel stupid. And then last year when I went away with Adam he called me insane when I said I was scared of them, he told me to suck it up and act like a fucking adult.

"Taylor, if you're really scared of course I will help you. I don't want you to be scared, sorry if it felt like I was poking fun of a genuine fear, I didn't mean to. We will make sure there is no one around your feet's, and if we can't see clearly then we will swim or I will push you on a floaty thing" he says and wrap an arm around my shoulders, and I lean my head on his shoulder "thank you. you don't think I'm stupid?" I mutter.

He uses his fingers to tilt my head so I'm forced to look at him "my love, I could never think you are stupid. We have all things we are scared of, that's completely okay.

The car pulls up to the resort and we are escorted to our bungalow by a golfcart. It's right by the water and there is an infinity pool attached to it and a hot tub. This will be the best vacation ever. We tip the driver and make our way inside and quickly unpack. The resort has left a welcome gift to us, a bunch of snacks, champagne and wine and some baked gods. "that's so nice of them" I say as I notice it. "I've never been given a gift at a hotel before" joe says and laughs "is this something you get often?"

"Yeah, usually there is something. I never ask for it though, so it's always a nice surprise. I know some celebs expect it, but I never take acts of random kindness for granted. It feels kind of rude to always expect special treatment" I say and sigh as I wrap my arms around his waist and snuggle my head into his chest.
