I was invited by my best friend Helena to go to the Oceans 8 premiere after-party. I knew that the main ladies from the film would be there, meaning I'd get to meet them all. I'm so nervous.
We arrived there a little late. "You ready to go in Y/N?" Helena asked.
"Uhh, yeah I think so. What if your friends don't like me? I'm so nervous" I exclaimed.
"You will be absolutely fine! It's hard not to like you! Besides, if they like me they will definitely like you. We are like the same person" she chuckled. I hugged her and we walked inside.
She text the girls to let them know we had arrived and almost immediately, I was dragged over to meet them.
"Hello ladies! This is Y/N" she introduced me. Sandy and Cate hugged me and everyone was so nice to me. Sarah wasn't here so I was a little disappointed.
We took a seat with them, there was a spare one next to me so I was hoping someone random wouldn't take it.
After a while of talking and me staying quiet I felt someone sit next to me. I turned to face them and my eyes met Sarah Paulson's.
"I- do you want me to move so you can sit next to Helena?"
"No, not at all sweetheart! You must be Y/N right?" I nodded and she smiled widely. "I was hoping to meet you soon! You're even more beautiful than I imagined!"
My heart began racing, she wanted to meet me? She already knew who I was WHAT?
"I- Ms Paulson I am honoured"
"Please, call me Sarah" she smiled, placing her hand on my shoulder. I had imagined a moment like this for so long and it was finally happening. It just didn't feel real!
"Paulson, it was rude of you to come back from the toilet and not say hello to Helena" Cate shouted over the music.
"Sorry Hellie. It's lovely to see you again, I was just talking to Y/N" I looked over at Helena and she was smirking at me. She is the only person that knows I am gay and secretly love Sarah.
The women got over it quickly and began talking again. "Do you want to grab a drink Y/N?" she asked me. I nodded and she grabbed my hand, leading me over to the bar.
She leaned against the bar and waited for someone to take her order. "Two shots of tequila, please! You're alright with that aren't you sweetheart" she turned and asked me. I nodded, physically shaking that I was alone with THE Sarah Paulson.
"Sweetie, you're shaking. Are you cold?"
"No, I'm just... nervous" I almost whispered the last part.
"Oh darling, there's no need to be nervous. It's only me" she laughed.
"That's exactly the point Sarah" I chuckled nervously again.
The tequila shots came and she clinked her glass against mine. "Three, two, one" and we both knocked back the shots. She didn't make a face which I was extremely impressed at!
"That was strong" I laughed.
"Hm, I didn't think so" she winked. Butterflies erupted in my stomach, I can't let her know how I feel about her.
"So Y/N, Helena was talking to me about you the other day. She mentioned you'd be here and I am so glad that you are!"
"Oh really, what did she say?" I will curse that woman if she mentioned my crush.
"Oh you know, just little details about your life and that you have a little crush on me" she smirked. YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME RIGHT NOW HELENA.
"I- uh. It's not true Sarah I"
She brought her finger up to my lips and told me to shh. "It's quite alright little one. I don't mind" she placed her hand on my cheek and the next thing I knew, her lips were pressed against mine.
I kissed her back almost immediately once the shock had worn off. I can't believe Sarah Paulson just kissed me! It's like a dream come true.
She stared into my eyes, trying to figure me out. "Everything okay dear?" she asked sweetly. I nodded in response. She cupped one side of my face with her soft hand and kissed me again.
Just as the kiss was about to get more heated, we were interrupted by someone clearing their throat behind us. Sarah slowly pulled away and turned to see who it was.
"Hm, I see you paid attention to what I said Paulson" Helena laughed, throwing another wink my way.
"I hate you Helena" I mouthed with a huge smile plastered across my face.
"Oh honey, no you don't... I'll leave you two to it" she chuckled.
As soon as she was gone, Sarah said "now, where were we?" I swear my heart was about to jump out of my chest!
