Cornelia Street - Jaylor one-shots

conversations with friends

-Taylors Pov-

"Babe can you come down here?" joe calls for me, I'm currently working in the music room, but I put down my guitar to go and see what he wants.

Walking into the Livingroom he is sitting on the couch waiting for me and I slide down on the couch facing him. We are currently in London and quarantining here for the time being. "what's up?" I ask and smile.

"Well, I got an offer for a roll, but I didn't want to say yes before talking to you first" he says kind of nervously and I'm slightly confused. Usually he doesn't ask me, he knows I will support him in whatever he wants to do, so I'm not sure why he is asking my permission. "You don't need my permission to do a role joe" I say and furrow my eyebrows in confusion.

"This time I think I need to bring it past you though. I know that you support me, and I usually don't bring it up, but this is different than anything I've done before. You know I did a reading for conversations with friends, and now they've given me an offer to play the male role." He says and looks nervously around the room. "But you know the book right? So, there are intense sex scenes, and it's the same creators that does normal people so we both know how they try to make it really realistic"

Now I know where he is going with this, and it's kind of sweet, he is nervous that I won't be okay with that. he is his own person and can make his own decisions, but it's nice that he takes my feelings into account. "And I won't do it if it will be problematic for you. it's just a role and I don't want to make things hard for you Taylor" he says and nervously glance over at me.

"Well, I'm not exited to watch my fiancé, soon to be husband, pretend to have sex with someone else, but joe I support you. I'm confident enough in our relationship that it will be fine. This role is a good opportunity for you and I'm not going to stand in the way for that. I know that you love me and are committed to us, I know that I don't have anything to worry about" I'm not thrilled about it but it's not my place to stand in the way of his career, he doesn't do it to me so it's not fair if I do it to him. At the same time I'm not worried because I know he is serious about us and there is nothing for me to worry about.

"You sure Tay? I'm not comfortable but it's just work, and everyone knows that. you know I would rather have actual sex with you than fake it in front of a camera" he says and smirk at me and I hit his arm playfully "I would rather you have sex with me too. But I get the real deal so it's fine" I say and grin. "Besides, I think twitter will go insane again with people asking if I can fight cause you're hot"

It's nice to have a relationship where I'm completely secure, there is nothing that can get between us, and we both know that. we both are in agreement that our relationship comes first, and that has become even clearer with lockdown. Now we spend so much time together that I don't know how we will ever go back to being apart a lot, this has definitely changed our priorities. "If I'm not working I will even come with you to wherever you're filming if you would like. I don't want to be separated more than absolutely necessary" I say and lean over to kiss him. "I would love that. coming home to you after a day of shooting is my favorite thing. It's partly filmed in Belfast and partly in Croatia" he says, and we both agree that this is what we want to do.

****** Several months later in Belfast. *****

I'm lying around in the Airbnb we are renting in Belfast while joe is filming. It's nice to spend time in a city that I haven't visited before, and the nature around here is so pretty so it's been nice to explore. At this point in our relationship it's not really an option to be apart more than necessary, and I have the flexibility to travel with him right now so I'm obviously going to do that. I only leave occasionally to go to New York or London to record the rerecordings, but everything else I do from here. we are here for six months in total so we at least get to settle a little and not just live out of suitcases.
