Call it what you want

Chapter 3: Big break

The filming went on, and Taylor herself couldn't stop looking at you. She had caught herself practically drooling at the mouth at your scantily clad outfit and lewd dance moves. She was directing it after all, if it was bothering her so much she could just cut it out. But it's too late for that, and Taylor still felt she could enjoy the view, from a distance. No harm in that, right.

Hailee was also in this music video, playing a female mafia boss who carries a gun everywhere she goes. And you were the dancer she ended up stealing from your boyfriend. Taylor wanted to have some queer representation in her songs and music videos, so this was perfect. Even though, yeah. She hadn't come out yet.

Taylor didn't necessarily like the fans that speculated about her sexuality like they speculated about her upcoming music releases. She hated when people shipped her with her friends, made things very awkward and uncomfortable.

Sighing, she pried her eyes off your moving form as she checked all the equipment and behind the scenes fiasco.

And finally, filming was over for the day. No one made any mistakes this time so she thought maybe this will go by faster than she intended.

You were relieved it was over for the day, feeling absolutely exhausted and thirsty. You took a big gulp of ice water from your thermos and made your way to your trailer to pack your things up.

You were just packing up when you heard a knock on the trailer door. You walked over and opened it, surprised to see Taylor standing there with a warm smile on her face.

"O-oh hi Taylor- Ms. Swift I'm sorry I don't know what to call you I'm a big fan of yours it's an honor to be able to work with you and be in your presence-"

"You're babbling, sweetheart." she chuckled causing you to blush from embarrassment but also from the pet name.

"I figured we'd properly introduce ourselves, since we didn't get the opportunity earlier." she said.

Taylor held out her hand for you to shake. You reluctantly took it, feeling her smooth hand against your now kind of sweaty post dance performance hand.

"I'm Taylor, and you are?" she asked.

"Y/n L/n." you replied and took a big gulp. Why do you have to be so fucking awkward?

"Well Y/n, that's a beautiful name. Nice to meet you." she said.

You blushed again. This woman doesn't even have to try to make you a flustered mess.

"Thank you. Your's is pretty, too." you tried to be chill, like you weren't talking to the music industry right now.

Taylor looked over to see your bags behind you, all packed. She raised an eyebrow.

"You're leaving already?" she asked.

"Yes..? filming is over." you said, mentally slapping yourself in the face at your remark.

Counter all your quick remarks like passing notes in secrecy....

Damnit. Even her songs get into your head. Which is fine, it's not like you're complaining. Her songs are so awesome.

"Well usually the crew and I always hang around and eat takeout. Unless you have somewhere to be..."

"Nope! Nowhere to be!" you replied quickly and eagerly. She chuckled again.

She held her hand out to you again, this time inviting you to hold it. Holding her hand. Taylor Swift's hand. The same hand that wrote all your favorite songs...

You took it, and stepped down from the trailer, closing the door behind you. And she guided you back to the studio. And that's when it finally sank in.

Holy shit! Taylor Swift is holding your hand!

The two of you walked in the studio and Taylor let go of your hand. You felt empty from the loss of contact but it was quickly replaced when Hailee walked up to you. You're a Kate Bishop fan, so this was definitely a dream.

"Hi, Y/n right?" she asked and you nodded with a smile.

"Hailee, but you probably already know that." she chuckled, causing you to laugh with her.

"I will say I'm a Kate Bishop fan so it's great to meet you." you said finally.

"That's awesome! Kate is one of my favorite roles I've done!" she exclaimed.

"You're an inspiration to me as an upcoming actress."

"Upcoming, huh? You have great range. I could hook you up with my manager if you'd like. She's the best and would love to help you out."

Your mouth dropped in shock. No fucking way.

"I- really?! You're kidding."

"Nope. I'll call her tomorrow morning before filming and see what she says."

And without thinking, you threw your arms around her muttering a thank you into her shoulder. Hailee happily hugged you back.

Taylor didn't like the sight of the two of you already hitting it off. Especially when Hailee is supposed to kiss you in the video. She sighed.

This was going to be a long month.
