It had been about a week since Taylor saw Emaline at that game, the singer never finding the courage to send a text to the soccer player. Something her friends were heavily encouraging her to do.
But as Taylor took yet another shot at her friend Cara's party, she felt the liquid courage raging through her. The singer was tipsy for sure, approaching drunk. It was Cara's birthday after all so you know Taylor had to turn up.
Just as Taylor was about to throw back another shot with her friends Sophie and Zoe, she noticed a group of people surrounding somebody. Taylor continued to take the shot, her attention fully on who was the attention of the party right now.
"Tay, whatcha lookin' at?" Zoe moved her hand in front of Taylor's face, the girl slowly becoming entranced as she realized who the group of people was around.
Emaline Decatur.
"Oh Emaline is here!" Sophie said excitedly, throwing her hands up, ready to run over to the group.
"You know her?" Taylor questioned, not knowing her best friend had connections with the girl who had been on her mind for a week.
"Oh of course who doesn't?" Taylor watched as Sophie walked over, the girl pulling Emaline in a tight hug. Taylor saw the soccer player smile brightly as she hugged Sophie tightly. When Sophie finally let the girl go, Emaline went back to talking to her friends around her.
Her friends happened to be Kylie and Kendall Jenner, along with some of their extended friends. Taylor was so shocked she had never heard of this girl before last week. She seemed popular as fuck.
"You're staring." Zoe said, making Taylor laugh to herself.
"I mean have you seen her?" Taylor said drunkenly, making Zoe laugh.
"Tay! More shots!" Gigi screamed from across the bar, dragging Cara behind her. "For the birthday girl!"
So the pop star did another shot, the shot that threw her over the edge. She was now drunk, and was having the time of her life as she watched Zayn attempt to control Gigi's drunk self.
"Long time no see." Taylor turned around, feeling a tap on her shoulder. Emaline stood in front of her, looking down, with a mixed drink in her hand. Taylor smiled brightly, giggling softly as she placed her hand on Emaline's arm. Feeling the hard muscle shocked Taylor, making the singer squeeze softly.
"I think I need to catch up to you." Emaline said, downing her drink in a second. Watching it made Taylor's mouth water. A feeling that Emaline caused her to feel frequently it felt like.
Taylor watched in silence as Emaline leaned over the bar, ordering 2 shots of whiskey.
"You can't drink!" Taylor said, slurring every single word. Emaline sat down at the bar, her legs finding the ledge. Her legs were open, to which Taylor fell right in between. The bartender placed the two shots in front of Emaline, looking at Taylor.
"She'll take a water. Thanks man." Emaline placed a ten dollar bill on the counter with a charming smile. The bartender thanked the soccer player and began making the water.
"I didn't want that." Taylor said, standing freakishly close to Emaline. Taylor watched intently as Emaline's green eyes scraped over Taylor's figure. The soccer player was shamelessly checking her out and Taylor took this time to return the favor.
Emaline was wearing a black button up shirt with black pants and Panda dunks. She looked sexy yet simple. She didn't look like everyone else at this party and Taylor adored it.
"You need that." Emaline grabbed the water from the bartender, thanking him again, and set it in front of Taylor. Then she grabbed her two shots and in two swift motions, downed both. Taylor found herself biting her lip as Emaline looked back up at Taylor with a glimmer in her eye. "Drink Taylor."
