New Romantics

chapter one

Taylor was lying on her bed when her phone started ringing. Her headache getting worse as the phone ring got louder in her brain. "Hi mom" she said, smiling and touching her hair.

"Hey sweetie, how are you today?" the voice echoed from the speaker through the empty room. Taylor had just move out from Nashville to New York, her stuff was still packed up in big boxes, her bag opened on the cold floor with her clothes hanging in a  messy little mountain right in the corner of the room.

"Better now, I guess" taylor said and placed her right hand on her left arm, feeling a little cold "i miss you terribly, mom. I really do, can't wait for Christmas. I can feel the smell of Christmas tree already!"

"Honey, you know it's still February right?" Andrea laughed at her daughter's urge to be dramatic. That's one of the many things she admired on the girl "plus, i'll visit you during the year, you don't have to waif until Christmas! Now, what about work? Found anything interesting yet?"

"Actually i did find a law firm that's hiring some secretaries, I applied for an interview. It's full time, but it's really close to that coffee shop I normally sing, so i can easily manage this whole 'trying to become a famous popstar' situation while having a job that actually pays me something" she giggled a little "I'm pretty excited"

"Aaah, that's great. You'll nail this interview, i'm sure, you always do! You're taylor swift after all, the best of the best"

"Yeah, i hope that's true, not just something a mom would say" the younger nodded and smiled.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

"Gigi, why would i interview this girl? I never had to do this kinda bullshit when kanye was my boss" karlie protested as she walked into the room, stomping strongly with her heels.

"That's because kanye was insensitive and dumb, he got to his position by buying his place on the firm, what would you even expect?? She's gonna be YOUR secretary, Karlie.You can either go there and calmly see if you have interest in keeping her or stay in your miserable imaginative world and continue with no secretary, it's really your call"

Gigi was the manager partner of the law firm. She was firm and constant, but also sweet and caring. She and karlie were responsible  for unmasking the robbery scheme secretly maintained by their former boss, kanye west. After fired, kanye was arrested. To be honest, nobody liked him, so the firm employees were very happy as the "gigi is our new boss" news started spreading around.

"I'm not doing that!"

"Fine, I'm not gonna force you." Gigi stood up, smiling at her friend and walking away. They two were actually really close, even roommates for a while.

Karlie, who wasn't in the mood for any interview at the moment - or ever - left the room with an pissed off expression. "Tell her to leave, i'm not doing any interviews today" she said to a boy sitting in a cubicle, right before entering the elevator. She got to see the sad expression of the brunette sitting on the waiting couch, who started crying instantly, before the door closed. "Thank god I didn't hire that one cry baby", she thought to herself. Kloss, irritated, walked to a bar right cross the street. "The golden tattoo bar" shined in neon lights. The decoration was old but classy, mostly made of dark wood and red ornaments. The perfect place.

"The usual, Karlie?" A guy with black hair and big glasses asked as the taller sat on a bench. "Yeah. Thanks, jack" she smiled politely as the guy placed a whiskey with ice in front of her.

After a few minutes of silence, karlie felt a hand touch her shoulders. "What?" she coldly said, getting a "whoa, someone's in a mood!" from the blond standing right behind her. She turned around, intrigued, then her jaw dropped. It was the most beautiful girl she had ever seen "S- Sorry. I'm-"

"Karlie, i know" she said and sat at karlie's side "I'm taylor, taylor swift". After asking for a old fashioned, she turned to the blond again "well, i wanted to talk to you about the secretary job offer. I sent a letter a few days ago and got absolutely no response, so i decided to just come here myself"

"Then why are you in a bar? I mean, if you wanted a job shouldn't you be going to the proper office? How would you even know i'm here?"

"Oh, yeah, about that. Jack, that little squirrel right there" she pointed to the guy, who friendly waved to her "He's my friend, he told me you come here almost every day, so i decided to meet you here. Kinda feeling like a creepy stalker, but i swear I don't bite" she giggled.

"Okay, I'm intrigued. Tell me more about you, Taylor. Why should I consider hiring you in the first place? I mean, if you didn't get a response back is because Gigi probably thought you weren't good enough for our firm."

"Well." She said without breaking the eye contact, getting closer and closer to her as the words came out of her mouth "you want the best of the best, kloss? I'm here. Trust me, you will never find a better secretary, and you know why?" Now they were so close that karlie could feel taylor's calm breathe "because i'm taylor tucking swift".

Karlie grinned and looked directly into taylor's mouth "fine. I still have to talk to my boss, though. But I'll try my best. I admire your confidence, Swift. That's not easy to find" Karlie placed her hand into taylor's wrist, who quickly walked away. "Sorry, I don't date my coworkers" she said with a manipulative smile.

"Then you're fired"

"Nop. I'm not fired, in fact i will start working Monday morning" she blinked to karlie, smiling "here's all the information you'll need to see that I'm, in fact, amazing." She handed karlie some papers, making their hands touch for a matter of seconds. Seconds that electrified karlie's hole body.

"Dirty game, i see. I like you, swift. You're smart, I can see it in your eyes. Monday morning, then"

"Everybody likes me, kloss. But you'll get used to it, i fear. See you on monday." She said as she walked towards the exit without looking back. Karlie, on the other hand, watched the girl powerfully walk away from her, biting her tongue. She grabbed her phone and gave gigi a call, asking her friend to meet at her office.

"Why do you seem happy? You're never happy!" Gigi tossed as she entered the room. "Who died? Was it Este?? No, it can't be, you liked her. I'm guessing Diana from the ninth floor, you hate her. Did she die??? How???"

"Nobody died, Gigi" karlie rolled her eyes "I just found the perfect secretary. Her name is Taylor Swift, she's blond and she has those gorgeous blue eyes"

"You need a secretary, not a date. You know that, right?"

"Oh, don't worry about that. According to her she doesn't date coworkers, probably don't wanna mix profissional with personal, some hannah montana complex and all. I was analyzing her files and she's perfect! She won a national poetry contest when she was in fourth grade... also graduated two years in advance. I tell you, she's really smart. Too smart for a secretary, I fear. This girl is going places, i can just feel it. Wouldn't it be great to say she actually worked for us?

"Fine."

"Really??"

"Yeah, i trust your instincts" Gigi smiled.
