Invisible String

Natalie's POV

"Interviews?" Alex asks and I nod as I get myself ready.

"They apparently don't stop but I think you know that since you have like a lot more experience than I do in this so called being famous." I say.

"You get used to it eventually." Alex says and I raise an eyebrow.

"So this'll be my life now won't it?"

"Babe this is your life now." Alex says and I chuckle as I button up my pants.

"Yeah I guess you're right." I say scratching my head. "Oh hey Al, is it okay if I talk to you about something. I would like you to know before it's out in the world like officially."

"Of course what is it?"

I sit down on the bed as I pat the spot next to me. Alex sits next to me and I turn to look at her.

I look at Alex as I take a moment to really realize what I'm about to tell her.

"I'm intersex. I was born with a dick." I say quickly and I close my eyes.

I feel soft hands cup my face, a tender kiss placed on my lips which makes me open my eyes.

"I will always like you no matter what. Doesn't matter what it is, unless you like I don't know murder someone then yeah that's definitely a hard no. But hey I'll love you no matter what." Alex says and my eyes widen as does hers.

"I- you love me? You really do love me." I tease as I poke her chest.

"Yes okay, I love you. I love you a lot." Alex says and I smile.

"I love you too."

I lean in to peck her lips and pull back to look straight into her eyes.

"Alright so interviews, it's my time to go." I say clapping my hands and getting up.

"Wait."

"Yes?"

"So when you say it'll be out what's it gonna say like 'Natalie Swift has a dick' or like what? Because if so that's kind of a little blunt." Alex says and I laugh.

"Well when you say it like that it's definitely inappropriate. I think the headline was gonna be something along the lines of me being out like me being lesbian and just pretty much explaining I was born different than others well not different but you know, different you know intersex." I say rubbing the back of my head.

"Relax. Now go before you're late to your interviews." Alex says placing a soft kiss on my lips.

"I love you."

"I love you. Now go." Alex says and I smile.

"I'll see you later."

"I'll be waiting."

"Natalie your sister is a huge artist probably one of the top female singers in the industry. Is there a rivalry?"

"Not at all, Taylor and I don't see it as competition we always like to support one another." I say.

"So there's never a call where you go hey my music is better than yours or something like that?" The dude asks and I shake my head.

"No. I also work with her for her albums and she helped me with mine."

"Ah so the music will always be good?"

"Sure." I say with a shrug.

"Do you guys ever make music like I wouldn't say for fun because obviously you make music for the joy and passion you have but like music just because you're having a good time and want to mess around?" The dude asks and I laugh.

"Well we definitely mess around, definitely not music though it's just random noises we'll sounds and random words. Not much really. We're mostly busy with other things in our lives." I say.

"I'd pay any amount to hear that." He says and I chuckle.

"It's incoherent."

"Doesn't matter it's Taylor Swift and Natalie Swift who wouldn't want to."

"I suppose." I say rubbing the back of my neck.

"Now you were dating Elizabeth Olsen. How's the breakup going?"

Well seeing as I'm dating someone and it's been like a couple of months now. I'd say amazing.

"Doing good, it was mutual. We've been friends since college so I think we'll always be there for each other. She and I are just on different paths and at a different places in our life. I love her I always will, she's been there for me through my worsts." I say. "We still talk everyday I'd say she's an important person in my life."

"It's been a couple of months since the breakup so definitely not seeing anyone just yet right? Or are you?"

"Like you said it's been a couple of months since the breakup, I've been a bit busy with things." I say.

Alex's POV

I was busy doing nothing. Yeah busy doing nothing. I sat on the couch as I went through my social media when I heard the door open. I looked up hoping it was Nat coming back from her interviews.

"Alex, hi. I didn't know you were here." Taylor says as she comes inside the apartment. "I mean I know you're here visiting just didn't know you were here in the apartment."

"Oh sorry, Nat told me she'd tell you before she got to her interview. I guess she forgot." I say and Taylor laughs.

"Yeah she has a tendency to forget stuff, especially groceries." Taylor says as she shows my the grocery bags.

"Ah, so my girlfriend is forgetful." I say with a nod.

"That's right but only when it comes to groceries and obviously telling me things. Talking about girlfriends, Alex I'd like to have a lovely chat with you."

Should I be scared? Of course not it's Taylor.

"Sure what about?" I ask as I sit up.

"My sister."

Scared? Check.

Nervous? Oh yeah.
