My Dear Lover: A Tate McRae Love Story

No. 6

Gayles POV

We were all playing truth or dare and Mimi decided to ask Tate to kiss Hannah as a dare. Tate and Hannah kissed. Something in me felt off. More upset in a way. I didn't wanna watch anymore of it so I got up and removed myself from the situation. I saw Tate come after me a few seconds later. "Gayle what's wrong? I thought we talked about this." I looked at her in a disappointed face. I ignored her. "Hello earth to Gayle what's wrong" she said as she waved her hand infront of my face. "Tate I can't do this." I said to her. "What do you mean? Talk to me." She said. "Isn't it obvious? I have feelings for you and seeing that just made me realize I'll never have a chance with you. I saw Hannah kiss you the other day and I knew my feelings were real. I didn't know how or when to tell you. It's so obvious you have feelings for her. I don't want to stand in the way of that im sorry." I said to her starting to cry. Tate was very shocked about what I just said to her. She gave me a hug and comforted me. "Im so sorry I didn't know." She said to me. I looked up at her and she was looking down at me. I decided to kiss her. "Gayle what the fuck!" Tate said moving away from me. "Im sorry I had to do that. I couldn't hold it in anymore." I said to her embarrassed. "No i can't be around you. I don't want you on tour with me anymore. Who knows what you'll try to pull next." She said looking pissed off at me. I shook my head and went to pack my things.

Tates POV

I can't believe she just tried to kiss me. We literally JUST talked about my feelings for Hannah. Im so mad. I need her out of here asap. I can't be around her. She packed her things and i went back to the group. They all asked me what happened and I told them everything. "Well it looks like I'm in need of a new opener." I said with a sigh. "Incase you didn't know this about me, i sing too. I have a few songs out on Apple Music. I could always open for you." Hannah said to me. "Wait really omg let me hear some of it!" I said with a smile. She played me some of her songs and I was in awe at her voice. It was so soothing. "Can you please open for me for the rest of tour?" I asked her. "Omg yes I would love that!" She said and then hugged me tight.

/ THE NEXT DAY /

We were in Burmington now at the venue and Hannah was about to go on and I can tell she was VERY nervous since this was her first time singing in front of a bigger crowd. "You got this I believe in you. I'll be on the side of the stage if you need anything." I then placed a kiss on her head. "Thank you I'm just so nervous." She responded. "You got this you're gonna do great!" I said to her.

She went on to sing her song dead.

Baby, no more showing up when you're not sober
At my front door just to say you're alone tonight
Yeah, tryna fuck me and my mind up
It's a reminder you're a liar and you know I'm right

She finishes her performance after a few more songs. She ran off stage and I hugged her telling her how good she did. "Who's that song dead about?" I asked her. "Oh it's about a shitty ex i had a few years ago." She replied. "It's so good i love it. " i said to her. We went back to the dressing room and she sat on the couch as I got ready. There was still some time to spare so she signaled me to sit next to her.

I sat down and put my head on her shoulder. "I should tell her now" I said to myself in my head. I had to build up the balls to do it first but eventually I sat up and looked at her in the eyes. "Hey can i tell you something?" I said to her. "Yes of course anything." She replied. "It's been so nice getting to know you this past month. It feels like I've known you for forever. I just wanted to say that I really like you. I think we could be something more." I said to her. "Wait really? You do? I feel the same exact way. I just didn't know if you felt the same way that's why I didn't say anything." She said with a huge smile on her face. Her cheeks turned bright red. "Do you want to be my girlfriend?" I asked her. Not even a second later she wrapped her arms around me and kissed me. "So I'll take that as a yes!" I said to her kissing her again.

The kiss lasted for a minute but then it turned into a make out. I felt so happy. Life finally felt like it was going in the right place.

"Tate hon- oh my im so sorry" my mom said as she walked in with Hannah on top of me. "Omg sorry mom I'm coming" I said embarrassed. She didn't know I was bi but I guess that just outed myself to her. I went on stage and danced my heart out. I got off stage and went back to the dressing room to change.

/ TIME SKIP /

We are on the bus now and me and Hannah are laying in my bunk both on our phones. A few minutes go back and Hannah places her arm across my stomach. It gave me butterflies. I looked down at her and said "I promise I'll be the best girlfriend you've ever had." I leaned in for a kiss. I placed my hand on her shirt signaling for her to take it off. She takes of her shirt but we weren't really able to move much do I got off the bunk to make sure no one else was on the bus. I pulled her to the back of the bus and closed the door.

She gets on top of me and she kisses my lips then moved down to my neck. We have made out before so she knew not to give me any hickeys for obvious reasons. Her cold hands sent shivers down my spine. Her touch felt so good.

Anddd I'll let your imagination run for this part :)
