Karlie's POV:

Wow, that was the weirdest conversation ever.

She could be with a girl though, she said.

Good.

"So what did you think of the movie in the end?" I ask her, changing the subject after a long while of silence.

"Wasn't as bad as I expected it to be." She says, looking my way with a small smile on her face.

"Ha!" I let out a loud laugh. "So this means Taylor Swift does like fantasy movies after all." I say excitedly, trying to get her annoyed.

"Karlie Kloss, stop this nonsense." She says loudly in an attempt to sound angry. She is miserably failing though since all she does is sound cute.

"You know its true though. Im right, I always am." I say, trying to piss her off even more.

"I just watched a movie with you which took three hours. Three fucking hours. And all I saw were dwarfs, elves, wizards, hobbits and these ugly, creepy creatures. And you're still trying to get me angry?" She says to me, her mouth in a fake surprised o-shape.

"You liked it though." I say, smiling at her.

"Oh stop it!" She yells while laughing and throwing one of the many pillows on the couch, right at me.

"Aggressive much?" I giggle as I throw it back to her. She immediately tosses it back at me again the moment she has it in her hands. "You know I will win this pillow fight. Again." I say, grinning at her fake annoyance.

"Again?" She says. "You didn't even win that this morning." She grins back at me, her blue eyes shining in the sunlight coming through the curtains.

"You know I did." I say, still smiling at her. "I sat on top of you. That means I won."

She looks away but I can see her cheeks turning red. Point for moi.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Taylor's POV:

Aah so she remembers that too. Our slightly awkward encounter this morning.

"So what are we gonna do now? Its like 5 o'clock." She asks, interrupting my thoughts once more.

"I have no idea. No more movies, thats for sure." I say, smiling at her so she knows I'm joking. I sink back into the couch and try to relax but her staring at me isn't making it very easy to.

"Why are you staring?" I bluntly ask after about a minute or two in silence. Straight to the point Swift. Straight. Ha.

"Oh.. I.. I.. was.. I uhmm.. I.." She starts mumbling.

"Its okay Karls." I interrupt her. "I was just joking." Not.

Her cheeks are brightly red now and I can still see some stress on her face.

"Karlie?" I ask, looking into her nervous but gorgeous, green eyes.

"Tay?" She answers, looking back at me, her smile nervous.

"Can I ask why you were so offended when I talked to you about the lesbian series?" I try to not sound nervous and shaky, but of course I fail. I got to get to know her better. What if she is gay? What if I am gay. God the world would think I'm a joke. She doesn't even like me, what am I even thinking?

"Orange is the new black, you mean?" She asks, her eyes nervously looking down at her own hands now.

I just nod and hum, then give her a small smile.

"I.. I.. just don't like people who don't accept people for who they are." She mumbles softly, still looking anywhere but at me.

"So who are you then? Apart for Karlie Kloss the successful super model?" I ask. I know I might sound a bit to the point, but I just need to know.

She is silent for a bit.

"I.. uhmm." She starts. " I am Karlie Kloss. Grew up in quite a small town, have a good relationship with my family, have great friends.." She points at me. Officially friendzoned. Shit. " I like animals, I don't eat meat, I like modeling and I just broke up with my ex boyfriend." She finishes her list while still not looking at me. Why is she so nervous?

"But I already knew all that." I say. Need more. "Tell me stuff I don't know yet." I say, smiling at her still. Im such a weird human being.

"I honestly don't think that there is more." Karlie replies quickly but quietly, finally meeting my eyes.

"I do." I say to her, appreciating her beautiful face. I can see that she is thinking. Her eyebrows furrow as she responds:

"Well tell me more about you first, miss Swift." Her smile is finally back on her face. I should have seen this one coming.

"Im Taylor." I start. What the fuck am I even gonna say? "I grew up on a Christmas tree market, my family and me are very close, my friends and me are too. I write music, I perform, I sing and thats about it." I say, looking at Karlie. Both of us are realizing that this conversation is going nowhere. "Oh and I like cats, and series." I add, putting one finger up in the air.

"Knew all of that already too." She says, smiling. Crossing her arms over each other. "This is literally one of the most forced conversations we've ever had." I say, giggling at my weak attempt to get Karlie to say the thing I really want to hear. The 'Taylor I like you' part. But of course, that will never happen.

"Yes it is." She says, giggling too. "We should try something else."

"Like?" I ask her, no idea what she means with that..

"Truth or Dare." She states happily, smiling at me. Oh that smile.

"Uhmm." I laugh. "I think we are way to sober for that aren't we?" I say while watching her lean back down into the couch.

"Who cares." She says, her big signature smile on her face. "So. Truth or Dare?"

"Truth." I say. This is one of those bad ideas again.

"When is the last time you fell in love?" She asks, her face serious. Wow, thats.. to the point.

"I.. uhmm.. I.. I..." I stumble over my words. "Never." I finally say. Good god, what will she think of me.

"Never?" Karlie says in shock. "Like never ever?" She sings.

"Oh fuck you." I say, throwing a pillow at her once again and smiling when she catches it.

"Are you serious though?" She asks again. "The one and only boy hunter, Taylor Swift, has never been in love?" She asks, her face in utter shock.

"Well.. I mean.. I don't think I've ever been in love. I mean.. how do you know when you are?" I say, my voice shaking a bit. Im such an awkward person to be with. "And Im not a boy hunter Karls." I say, smiling at her.

"I don't know how it feels either." Karlie says. "I mean I loved Josh, I really did. But there was never that thing that they describe in the books. Or the thing you see in the movies, or hear in.. well your songs." She says poetically.

"Hmm." I say, leaning all the way down to the side of the couch so that I'm practically laying my head on Karlie's shoulder. "Were quite pathetic aren't we?" I say, smiling up at her. She isn't smiling back at me though, she looks down and just mumbles; "Yeah".

"Hey. We will be okay." I say, sitting up to look at her face, moving to sit closer to her. "One day we will find someone and it will just.."

"Click." We say at the same time. Causing us both to giggle and look at each other. I feel her gently move her arm so that its comfortably around me. We sit in silence for a while, enjoying the coziness. "So, Truth or Dare?" I ask after a while.

"Truth." She says, softly stroking my upper arm now. Oh lord. What should I ask?

Shall I ask the question? Like THE question?

"Karlie.." I sit up straight and look into her eyes seriously.

"Yeah?" She says, looking worried.

"I.. um.. Im gonna ask you something really personal now okay?" I say as I stroke the top of her hand slowly. She takes my hand and softly says: "Okay." I can see the nerves in her face as she looks into my eyes, her arm around my waist.

Am I gonna ask IT? Like how do you even ask this?

"Are you.." I start. "Uhmm.. are.. do.." Come on Taylor. Do it.

"You.. and.. uhmm.. me.." I mumble in pure panic as she interrupts me in a soft voice: "I don't want Truth anymore. Give me a Dare." I see the panic running all over her face. Poor thing.

"Okay." I say, disappointed in myself.

"Kiss me."

Theres pure shock in Karlie's eyes.

Fuck. I said it. I fucking said it out loud.

"What did you say?" She asks a smirk on her face, her hands feel sweaty while she is still playing with my fingers. She looks down at our hands.

"Uhmm.. I.. I didn't.. oh man.." I say, letting go of her hand, putting my hands in my face and leaning forward, away from Karlie. I am so stupid.

I can feel the couch moving and I suddenly feel her lips pressed agains my cheek. Longer then last time, more sincere, more of everything really. I move my head slightly to the left to meet her eyes from up close.

"Calm down, Tay." She whispers as she takes my hands and strokes them gently with her thumbs. We lean back into the couch again and I move my head up on her shoulder once more. Calm down Tay? How am I supposed to calm down when I just asked you to kiss me and you didn't even panic. You didn't even run away. You kissed my cheek. Calm down? How?

"Im sorry Karlie.. I don't want to.. I don't mean to.. I just.." I mumble, when she softly interrupts me: "I know."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Karlie's POV:

I KNEW IT! She said it last time and now she said it again. I FUCKIN KNEW IT!

Okay calm down Karlie, she is obviously scared.

GOD! SHE LIKES ME TOO, SHE WANTS ME TO KISS HER.

She is struggling with her words while laying on my shoulder once more. "I know." I say as she tries finishing her sentence. "I know." I repeat. God I want to kiss her so badly!

Calm down Karlie!

I hear her taking a deep breath before asking: "Taylor? What are you so stressed about?"

She stays silent for a while.

"Us." She finally says, the stress is noticeable in her voice.

"What about us?" I ask softly, trying to relax her.

"I don't want us to like.." She starts. Oh..

"Grow apart or anything." She continues. "I don't want to scare you away, Karlie." Oooooh!

"We wont. Its okay." I say calmly, stroking her soft upper arm again.

"How do you even know what I'm talking about?" She asks, some frustration in her voice.

"I just do." I say simply. I know she likes me, I just need her to say it. She has to say it.

"You probably don't." She says defeated, while getting up and sitting down at her piano.

"What are you doing?" I ask curiously, getting up from the couch too and sitting down in a chair right next to the piano.

"So I told you about that I didn't have inspiration right?" She starts in a sad voice, not giving me enough time to answer her question so I nod. "The day I bumped in to you, I wrote my first song in about a year. A whole year. And it scared the shit out of me since you're.. you know. A girl." I open my mouth in an o form when she continues again, looking at me with her teared filled eyes. She is making it so hard. Taylor. I like you too. Just say it. Please say it.

"Im just going to play it for you since you wont think the same way anyway." She says as she plays the first chord. Then for about three minutes long, her angelic voice fills the room.

"Say you'll remember me, standing in a nice dress, staring at the sunset babe.

Red lips and rosy cheeks, say you'll see me again, even if its just in your,

Wildest dreams, aahaaa aahhh. Wildest dreams, aahaaa aahhh."

"Its beautiful!" I say, stunned by her amazing lyrics. She is such a talented woman.

"Its about you." She says bitterly, looking down at the dusty keys, clearly already giving up on the idea of me liking her back.

"When did you think of the lyrics then?" I ask, trying to hide my smile since she is feeling so sad. I want to comfort her but I need to be 100% sure she likes me before I do.. things.

"I fell asleep on the couch, right after we bumped into each other. Then I dreamed of you." She says, blushing when thinking back of the event. I cant help but blush too. That is so cute.

"Then why are you so sad about it Tay?" I ask, getting up again and walking up to her.

"Because I know that we can never be together." She says, her face buried in her hands again.

I take both of her hands and pull her up so I can hug her. "Taylor? What are you saying?" I ask nervously. She steps back and wants to let go of my hands but I refuse and hold them tightly.

"I like you Karlie! I like you too much. Way too much. Like more than a friend. Way more!" She says loudly, a few tears escaping from her eyes. She looks me in the eyes and ive never seen someone, this scared. She likes me. She does. She likes me!

"I like you too. A lot actually." I say, smiling at her, wiping her tears away with my thumbs.

"I knew it.." She starts, her expression sad and defeated.

"Wait what?" She says in shock as if finally realizing it. "You do? I thought you.. but.. me?" She says, her voice high and surprised.

"I do." I say calmly.
