1 - One of those nights

In the darkness of the night, the sound of loud techno music fills one of the busiest streets of Los Angeles. Its where al the stars and celebrities go out while enjoying the privacy of the most expensive and exclusive clubs on planet earth. But its not in one of those clubs where we'll find world's biggest popstar.

Tonight she and het best friend have chosen to go to one of their oldest, favourite places. Its a bar named 'Blue lagoon' and its far less crowded than all the big clubs. This is what the popstar likes most about the bar and which is probably also the only thing to like about the old place. Its located in one of the small alleys next to the busy main street. The old bricks that cover the outside walls of the bar, look like they're about to fall of and so does everything on the inside too. Lets just say that its not the place where you'd expect two of the biggest names in pop music to be going out or to even be near to. And yet, here they are.

"Come on! This is the last one, just one more!"

"I can't. You've given me like six shots already!"

"Come onnnn!" The woman with the brown hair slurs. "One morreee!"

The two women are just looking at each other for a while then, the brunette pouting at the blonde, who is smiling a lopsided smile at her with her hands in her sides. The blonde shakes her head no, but keeps on smiling.

"Fineeee!" She shouts over the loud dance music. The brunette smiles widely, hugs her friend and runs over to the bar. The blonde starts moving to the beat of the music again. That horribly mixed music that they spin every single time she is here. Now she isn't here that often but when she is, its always the same.


"Hey there pretty lady.." The blonde looks to her left, to where the voice comes from. "Im Drew, can I buy you a drink?" Theres a man standing next to the blonde, looking at her with expecting eyes. The blonde just stares at him awkwardly, seeming to not really know what to say since well.. she is-

"Oh my god.." The man stutters then, examining the popstar from close by. "You're.. you're Taylor Swift!"

"Shhh!" Is all the blonde hushes as she turns away from the man and quickly makes her way over to the bar where her friend is still ordering their drinks.

"Ahh Tay, Ive ordered us two more drinks." The brunette slurs when she sees her friend standing beside her, completely oblivious to the concerned look on her face.

"Sel, we need to go!" The blonde shouts over the music, into the brunette's ear. "This one guy recognised me and he might tell othe-"

"No. No, no, no. Ive just ordered these drinks!" The brunette shouts, pointing at the drinks that are standing on the bar.

"Selena, come on. Lets just go home. Were both already drunk, its not okay." The blonde begs her friend while starting to look around if the man is telling people who he had just seen. "I don't want any paparazzi tonight!" The blonde adds then. The brunette visibly sighs, even though no one is able to hear it over the loud music.

The blonde looks around her again, noticing the old looking furniture in the bar. No one would ever believe that a few years ago, this was the coolest bar in town. The walls are painted a dark purple color, the floor is a dark brown, wooden one and the ceiling is still full with christmas decorations even though its already the end of January. The bar stools look old and used, which they probably are, and the bar itself is something neither of the two women or anyone with a smart brain, ever even touch since its so sticky that you would probably never get your hands back.

The brunette, Selena, was downing a glass of god knows what, in the time that the blonde, Taylor, was looking around her, trying to spot the guy that tried to buy her a drink a few minutes ago.

"Sel, please!" The blonde begs again, she being the one with a pout on her face now. "Lets just go."

"Fineee. Ill go get out jackets upstairs!" Selena shouts then. Taylor knows she isn't angry, she's just disappointed. She watches her younger best friend climb up the stairs in her drunken state, towards the wardrobe. The blonde sits down on one of the bar stools, making sure to not touch the bar as she tries her hardest not to fall over. When she sits, she takes another look around the bar. Its not as crowded as it normally is. A few drunk guys are playing darts in te back, almost shooting the darts at each other instead of towards the dartboard. About four couples are dancing on the dance floor, plus some drunk guys, and two women are sitting in one of the seats in the back, having a drink together.

Taylor keeps her eyes trained on one of the women, the taller one of the two. She's wearing a black dress which has an open back and side and shows just enough skin. Its not too sexy but its still sexy, you know? Her hair is half-long and blonde, hanging down beside her face, which Taylor can see too now. She seems to have a few freckles on her cheeks and.. and her eyes.. her eyes have such a beautiful, green color. Taylor sighs, impressed by this woman's gorgeousness.

Then Taylor looks over at the other woman, who looks shorter, but pretty too. Well, pretty is an understatement. Both women look beautiful. The shorter one looks over at Taylor then suddenly and raises her thick but well shaped eyebrows. They have eye contact for a second or two before the shorter woman looks away again and says something to the taller one of the two. Its now her turn to look at Taylor, who is just sitting there with her drunk head, staring at the two beautiful creatures sitting about ten meters away from her.

The tall, green eyed woman, flashes Taylor a smile that the superstar is sure she wouldn't survive to see again. "Wow." She mumbles to herself, awkwardly looking away from the pair with bright red cheeks. She tries getting up from the barstool then, but miserably fails when missing a step and falling onto the ground.

"Oh gosh, are you okay?" She hears an unfamiliar voice say then. 'Maybe you should open your eyes Taylor'  The singer thinks before slowly fluttering her eyes open. "Are you hurt?" The voice asks. And right then, Taylor is staring into the eyes of that angelic creature that had just smiled at her.

"You went down hard. Come on, let me help you." The green eyed woman says, she was kneeling down next to the drunk blonde. She sticks her hand out, which Taylor gladly grabs as she is being pulled up again short after that. The green eyed woman puts both her hands on Taylor's hips as she guides the blonde superstar to sit on one of the barstools.

"Hey, are you okay?" The woman asks Taylor again, who is just dumbly staring at her. "Taylor?" The woman says then, trying to get her attention.

"Ye- yeah.. Im fine. How do you know my name?" She asks, rubbing her left arm with her hand.

"Well.." The gorgeous woman laughs, Taylor just cant seem to keep her eyes off her. "You are the Taylor Swift you know. Im sure theres a bunch of people who know your name."

And thats it, Taylor doesn't know if she can take any more smiling of the green eyed woman. She just looks so incredibly beautiful. She smiles back at the woman, her cheeks now even more red than they already were.

"Oh.. yeah.. duh.." She mumbles, just loud enough so that the woman could only just hear her over the music. The woman giggles again, making Taylor and her drunk mind giggle back at her.

"Im Karlie." The woman says, politely offering Taylor her hand.

Taylor gladly takes it and mumbles: "Karlie.." with a huge smile on her face. "Oh.. Im uhmm well im Taylor. But yeah.. umm yeah.."

The green eyed woman, who's name Taylor had now learned, can't seem to stop smiling and giggling at the blonde in front of her. Taylor is grinning back at her, her cheeks still burning with embarrassment. Taylor notices then, that she's still holding her hand and quickly lets go of it and looks down awkwardly.

"Im sorry.." She says then. "Ive had way too much to drink."

"Thats okay. Wheres your friend? I saw she was going to get your jackets?" Karlie asks while still smiling at the drunk woman.

'Was she.. was she watching us?' The blonde thinks before replying. "Yeah.. She is supposed be.. to be back by.. now. I think." She says, looking in the direction of the stairs but not seeing Selena anywhere.

"Oh wait, Ill ask my friend if she can go look for her." Karlie says, turning around and walking over to the table where the other woman was still sitting, looking in our direction. "Don't go anywhere!" Karlie shouts at Taylor then, before walking all the way over to the table in the back. Taylor watches how the two women exchange some words before both heading in different directions. The shorter girl is walking towards the stairs, where Selena went up a while ago, and the green eyed woman, Karlie, is making her way back to Taylor.

"Cara, my friend, is going to look for her upstairs." She says as soon as she is near to Taylor again. "Are you still okay?"

"Better now." Taylor blurts out, looking down at her hands right after her comment. Karlie's eyebrows raise in a playful way.

"So.." Karlie says then, breaking the awkward silence between the two. "What are you guys doing at a place like this?" Taylor looks up again, daring to look into those green eyes again as she answers: "Well, we used to come here a lot more when we were younger. Its just nice that its not so busy in here, not a lot of people to recognise us. You know?"

Karlie smiles, appearing to be happy to get so many words out of the singer. "Yeah, I get that." She says.

"What about you?" Taylor dares to asks, still staring into these green eyes. "You guys don't look.. like you're supposed to go out in bars like these."

"What makes you say that?" Karlie asks, one eyebrow raised and some playfulness glistening in her eyes. 


"Well.. you know.. I mean.. you.. I-" Taylor starts but the green eyed woman starts laughing loudly somewhere in the middle.

"I was just joking." Karlie giggles, making Taylor smile a small smile at her. "You sure are better with words in your songs than in conversations!" '

"Hey!" Taylor shouts, faking her anger as she smacks Karlie's arm softly, mostly just as an excuse to feel her skin again. She thinks. "Mean!"

Karlie laughs, looking down at her arm where the drunk blonde has just touched her before quickly turning her head around towards the stairs to see if the others are already back. And there they are, stumbling down the stairs.

"She passed out on the toilet." Cara says when she reaches the two women at the bar. "I had to carry her all the way down here."

"Im so sorry." Taylor says, apologising to the shorter girl who sits a half awake Selena down on a stool.

"Its fine." The shorter woman laughs with a British accent. "Oh sorry, hi Im Cara." She says then, sticking her hand out of Taylor to shake.

"Im Taylor." The blonde says as she shakes Cara's hand.

"Duh." Is all that Cara says and Taylor's cheeks grow red again. She glances at her side, where Karlie is still standing, smiling at her. She smiles back shyly and brushes her hair behind her ear with her left hand before getting up from the stool, too quickly, since she is now feeling dizzier than ever.

"Hey, hey, careful there." Karlie says, taking one of Taylor's hands in hers as she tries to stay on both feet. Taylor's heart flutters in her chest when feeling Karlie's soft and warm hand in hers.

"We uhmm.." She stutters, pointing at her and Selena who just sits there, half asleep on the barstool. "We should go home."

Karlie smiles and nods. "Cara and I will help you and Selena outside, okay?"

Taylor smiles back at the green eyed woman and nods too. "Thank you." Karlie lets go of Taylor's hand then, much to Taylor's dislike, but moves it around her waist securely so that she can guide her out of the bar without her falling over. Taylor shivers at the feeling of Karlie's arm around her and looks up at her shyly, a tiny little grin on her face.

Cara and Selena follow closely behind them, at a little bit of a slower pace since Cara has to lift a lot of Selena's weight. When all women reach the door of the bar, Karlie and Cara help putting Taylor's and Selena's jackets on. "Lets get you guys a cab." Karlie smiles then. She feels Taylor's arm tighten around her waist.

They walk out of the bar. Taylor almost does a happy dance when she sees that not a single paparazzi member has shown up. Now that would've been a real mess. "Wow, no paparazzi. Good!" She says a bit too loud as they are now outside and don't have to scream over the music anymore. "Oh, sorry.." She mumbles awkwardly then. She hears Karlie giggle, its the first time she's heard this, since the music was too loud inside the bar to hear anything less than screaming. All four women walk over to the side of the road, where a few taxi's are lined up.

"Actually.." Taylor says then, getting her phone out of her pocket and stepping a few centimeters away from the green eyed woman. "I need to call one of my security members. Im not.. like.. allowed to take taxis."

"Were you even allowed to be here?" Karlie asks then, raising that one eyebrow again.

"Shhh." Taylor says then, a smile on her face as she sees Karlie's grow bigger and bigger. Cara and Selena sit down on a bench then, Selena finally more awake now as she is sitting on her own strength.

"Ben.. hi, its me.. yeah.. yeah.. that bar yeah, blue lagoon.. yes Ben, you've told me before that I shouldn't be- no its not dangerous.. come on.. yeah see you in a bit.. thank you." And with that, the superstar hangs up the phone and puts it back in the pocket of her black skinny jeans.

Karlie can't seem to stop laughing, seeming to find this all really amusing. "Now what if we would've been some kind of creepy kidnappers or something?" She asks the blonde who was looking at her with that lopsided smile on her face.

"Then we would've been fucked." She replies easily, shrugging her shoulders.

"Wow, the Swift can swear!" She hears Cara shout from at the bench, making both her and Karlie laugh. "What a night." They hear Selena mumble then. They all smile at Selena, surprised that the girl can speak and then Taylor focusses on the woman with those gorgeous green eyes again.

"Thank you, for taking care of.. us." Taylor says to Karlie, who is still smiling at her.

"No problem. Be careful though, next time." She says, shrugging her shoulders just like Taylor had done a few seconds ago. Taylor grins widely at the green eyed woman, finding her extremely entertaining and charming and.. nice to watch. Karlie grins back at her. The two are standing in front of each other now, about a meter of nothingness in between them. The loud honking of a car sounds then, making Taylor jump out of her gaze. She turns around and sees that her black SUV has arrived.

Cara helps Selena into the vehicle and short after that, the women say goodbye too each other. "Thank you so much." Taylor says to both of the girls, smiling a big smile at them. She walks over to Cara first and hugs the girl before heading over to Karlie to hug her even tighter. Karlie smells like vanilla and lavender, a combination of scents that Taylor seems to like very much since the hug just wouldn't stop.

Cara awkwardly clears her throat after a while then, making both girls jump away from one another.

"Well.. uhmm thanks.." Taylor mumbles, getting into the video and closing the car door. She opens the window quickly however. "See you around." She hears Karlie say, who is smiling from ear to ear.

"I.. yes.. I hope.. I mean I think." Taylor stutters when the car starts rolling forward slowly. "I mean.. I would like to.."

She hears Karlie's giggle once more, making her heart flutter, before the car starts driving and Taylor is told to close the window. She leans back in her seat, not able to wipe that smile off her face as she thinks about the green eyed woman who had been so sweet to her.

'Who is she even? I don't even know her.'   She thinks to herself as she closes her eyes and feels the world spinning around her. It must be the alcohol, or the thought of those beautiful green eyes. Or both.

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

"Sel?!"

"Selena?!"

"Sele-" Taylor feels a smack against her arm then.

"Im right here, dumbass." The brunette groans, turning away from Taylor as she rolls on her side and takes some blankets with her. "Go back to sleep."

"Its like 1PM.." The blonde woman sighs, sitting up in the proces. "Im hungry."

"Well im hungover." Selena says. "So im staying right here."

"Fiiiineee." Taylor says, dragging the word out while getting up from the bed. She gets her glasses from the nightstand, amazed that she somehow managed to get her contacts out the night before. She know she's hungover too, and that feeling only gets confirmed completely, when she almost falls onto the bed again when standing up.

'Note to self, less alcohol.' She thinks as she makes her way out of her bedroom by holding onto the walls and every solid object that she could hold onto. 'A lot less alcohol.'

When the room finally stops spinning and the dizziness goes away, she makes her way downstairs and into the cozy kitchen. The blonde has decorated the whole apartment herself. It has a warm look while its also clean and organised. Taylor needs it to be organised at least a bit since in her busy life, she can't handle any more messy or busy-looking rooms or apartments.

"Right.." She sighs when two fluffy cats pop their heads around the corner of the kitchen. "My two queens need food." She opens up a drawer where the cat food is separated in two different cans. One for older and bigger one, Meredith and one for the small, white, fluffball, Olivia. "There you go." Taylor mumbles as she pours a small amount of cat food in the therefor used cat bowls.

"And now mommy needs something to eat too." She sighs, her voice groggy. She closes the drawer again and starts opening several others to find something to eat. 'Some crackers will do' The blonde thinks to herself as she smears some butter on two dry crackers. 'Not too much fat foods on my hungover stomach.'

The blonde singer sits down her kitchen table and eats her breakfast in silence. She starts thinking back to the night before, while massaging her temples with two hands, a headache coming up.

Then suddenly two green eyes pop up in her mind. "Oh my god." She mumbles. "Who is she?" She tries thinking back a little more with her now pounding head and everything comes back in flashes.

'Karlie, her names is Karlie.'

And then she can see them again, those mesmerising, beautiful, green eyes.

"God, what must she think of me." She mumbles to herself. "Drunk superstar on the loose." Taylor presses her hands on her forehead.

"You're such a dumbass Taylor." She sighs, leaving the second cracker uneaten as she gets up from the chair.

"Why?" She hears someone ask. Its Selena, she had come all the way downstairs finally, still in her pyjamas which she somehow managed to get into last night. Its the first time Taylor looks down at what she is wearing herself then, and of course it were last night's clothes.

"What? huh?" The blonde asks Selena with a questioning look on her face.

"You said you're a dumbass. Why?" Selena asks, rubbing her eyes with both hands at the same time.

"I drank way too much. Like, I cant do that Sel. What if my fans would've noticed. And this girl Karlie and her friend what if they-"

"Oh come on. We had fun, Taylor." Selena says, walking passed the blonde and into the kitchen. Taylor leans into the doorframe then and watches how the other singer goes on a search for food.

"I had fun yeah.." Taylor sighs. "But I just had too much. I also would've had fun without all those drinks."

"Just drink less next time then." Selena answers simply, shrugging her shoulders as she opens the fridge.

"Im just worried.." Taylor says. "What if someone took pictures or if someone will tell what they saw."

"Taylor.." Selena sighs, deciding on some milk and cereal. "You didn't do anything scandalous or anything-"

"Sel, Ive never been as drunk as I was last night." Taylor says seriously, a hand going through her short hair that is now growing a bit longer again.

"Did you kiss anyone? No. Did you run around naked? No. Did you go home with some kinda guy to have-"

"Okay, I get your point. Lets just.." Another tired sigh escapes Taylor's mouth. "Lets just stop going out for a while okay?"

"Tay, you promised me, before you were miss Taylor Swift huge, mega, pop, superstar, that you would never let fame ruin anything for you." Selena says seriously, pouring some milk on her cereal as she sits down at the same table Taylor did a few minutes before.

A deep breath escapes Taylor's lips. "I know.."

"But I do get your point." Selena says then, her face softening as she smiles a small smile at the blonde. "Besides, I have to watch out and drink less too."

"Okay so we agree then." Taylor smiles. Selena smiles back and nods, taking a bite of her breakfast after.

"So.." Taylor starts when sitting down across from the dark haired singer. "Do you remember anything from last night?"

Selena lets out a laugh. "Ha, no."

"Gosh, Sel.." Taylor laughs. "Not even those two girls that helped us so much?"

"Nope." Selena replies with a shrug, taking another bite again. "Who are they then?" She asks with her mouth full.


"Yeah I have no idea. I was hoping you did." Taylor says, a blush appearing on her cheeks as the words escaped her mouth.

"Why that?" Selena asks quickly, grinning at Taylor.

"I just.. uhmm wanted to.. thank them.. I don't know. She.. uhmm they helped us a lot." Taylor quickly mumbles, looking away from the brown eyed girl.

"Yeah.. sure." Selena replied, smiling while taking yet another bite.

"Oh shut up." Taylor laughs, smacking the other girls arm playfully. "I didn't mean it like that."

"Yeah.. okay." Selena says, smiling and laughing still. "Anyways.." She starts, and Taylor is glad that the younger girl changes the subject. "Im gonna head home after breakfast. I need to answer some emails still and im planning on doing that in my bed."

"That sounds so wrong." Taylor laughs.

Selena laughs together with her. "Gosh girl, you really need some good se-"

"Selena!" Taylor warns before the younger girl can even finish her sentence. They both burst out in loud laughter.

And this is how their morning passes, nice and calm. There's one thing the blonde superstar doesnt know yet though: Tonight is going to change her life.
