The Story Of Us

Chapter 3.

[Taylor]

I was searching there my closet for my favorite shirt light blue shirt with three white cats on it. I had a towel around my body because I had just gotten out of the shower, and my hair kept sticking to the side of my face. I stared at my reflection in the mirror, I look awful! I groaned in frustration, throwing my hands up in the air.

Drake and Selena called me saying they were on their way to raid my wine closet that I keep hidden from people. I fully found the shirt I was looking for and I went through the dresser and grabbed a pair of gray jeans.

I fully got dressed and walked into the living as I was tucking my shirt into my pants. Olivia and Meredith lying on the couch, they were both were Scottish Folds cats, and they have this tendency of getting aggressive when they're around other people. I kept hearing loud knocks on my door. this man can't even let me breathe for one second? I could help but roll my eyes as I walk to the door. I unlock the door and ripped it open and there he was standing in the door.

He was holding two boxes of pizza in his right hand and a bag of something else in his left hand. Selena pushed him out of the way and ran to hug me, the brace was right, and after we pulled away I had to snatch the stuff out of Drake's hands. "Wow, no thank you?"

I placed the stuff on the counter. "Thank you asshat," I said slapping him on the back of the head. Olivia and Meredith both ran into the other room. Drake had thrown water on them multiple times before and they fear him now.

Drake was trying to grab a slice of pizza but I quickly slap it out of his hand. "No touching the food until Leland gets here,"

"You invited Metro? this is usually our thing." Drake said whining like a baby flaring his arms up in the air.

Selena was flipping through different movies on Netflix. "Who the fuck is Leland?" She asked not looking at us but still having her attention on the flat-screen TV that I got installed a couple of weeks ago.

"Taylor's new boy toy," I slap Drake on the back making him let out a loud groan.

"We aren't dating, yet."I said the "yet" really quietly so Drake couldn't say anything smart.

Leland and I had been talking for the last couple of weeks, and he took me out on a couple of dates but nothing big. He would tell me goodnight and would listen to me when renting. I wanted to invite him to my tour but I knew he was busy working on new music, and I was nervous because this was the first time I was inviting him over my house.

I heard a soft knock on the door, I pushed Drake out of the way and pulled the wooden door open. Leland was standing there with flowers in his hand. He was a Lakers jacket with basketball shorts. I practically threw myself onto him. I wrapped my arms around him pulling him into a hug, I felt him wrap his arms around me. After a bit of hugging him, I probably came off as desperate, I pulled away from him.

By his body language, I could tell that he was nervous. "Oh yeah, I got this for you," He handed me a bouquet of roses and daisies. "I didn't know what type of flowers you liked so I got you these," He scratched the back of his head looking down at the ground.

"I love them." I let him in through the door.

"Wow, this place is nice." I placed the flowers on the table. He stared at all the paintings on the wall. His eyes glazed up and down at the eggshell color walls. "Your place is nicer than mines,"

"I found Taylor's secret wine closet." Drake yelled at the of his lungs, holding the most expensive bottle of wine I had in my closet. Selena jump over the couch and ran over to Drake snatching the bottle out of wine out of his hands.

"Wow, you love your cats, don't you?" He said pointing at the photos. Benjamin was lying in the middle of the floor, and I scooped him up with my hands, holding him like a newborn baby

"Yes, I'm a cat lady," Benjamin stuck his head out, sniffing the cologne all over Leland's body

"Mmm, Dogs are better,"

I whipped my head around. "No! Dogs are gross,"

"Cats are mean." I shook my head in disagreement. I heard him giggling under his breath as He walks over to the piano that was up with his hands in his pockets.

The piano was up against the wall. He started to play a random note but it didn't sound bad. He was playing in the key of C, which is probably the most basic chord to learn.

"You play the piano?"

"I used to play for a couple of years as a kid but the only other instrument I can play is the guitar,"

"Maybe I could teach you a couple of things," I said to him.

He licked his lips and looked me up and down.
"You. . . I never thought THE Taylor Swift would ask to give me piano lessons,"

I couldn't help but blush. "Stop talking about me like that," I said giggling.

"If you guys don't stop eye fucking each other before I eat all this food."
