Number One Fan (Taylor Swift x Fem!OC)

6 - this house

All the doors are open
While our friends are outside smoking
I stopped joining in when I met you
I keep feeling like I'm drifting
Out of consciousness when you're around

It had been almost two weeks since that day where Taylor had told Maeve her secret. Almost two weeks since the headlines that Maeve and her ex were back together, Taylor hadn't mentioned it but what was really killing her was the fact Maeve hadn't.

Taylor had invited Maeve over for the night before her birthday, hoping to bring up the subject subtly. Maeve had just made it to Taylor's house, just by the knocks Taylor could tell it was her so of course she opened the door with a huge grin on her face.

Her hand grabbed the handle opening it to see the woman mirroring her grin, "You're early! Well two minutes- but early! Hello, Maeve!" Taylor beamed.

Maeve exclaims as she walks into her friend's apartment, "Hi, almost birthday girl! I have some early gifts for you!"

"Awh, you're so amazing-" Taylor blushes subtly, "you know you didn't have to though.."

"Oh don't give me that, I know I didn't need to but I wanted too." Maeve pulls the other woman into a hug, kissing her forehead as she does so.

"You spoil me, you know that?" Taylor blushes, melting into the other woman's touch.

"Hey, I'm just being a good friend! You deserve some gifts!"

Taylor smiles softly, taking Maeve's hand and leading the woman into her living room, "Mm, well thank you very much, make yourself comfy. Now would you like a drink? I have- well you know what I have, what do you want?"

"I'll just have a diet coke, I'm not planning on getting drunk tonight. Though tomorrow night, that's a different story."

The blonde woman lets out a low whistle in agreement, approaching her drinks fridge, grabbing a can of coke. She pulls the tab until it pops open, she grabs some ice to put in a glass before pouring about half of the can into said glass, "You get it.. I'm getting fucked up tomorrow night."

"Any particular reason or just cause it's your birthday?" Maeve questions.

Taylor lets out a shaky breath, placing the glass back on the counter, "Joe was supposed to be here and then magically he had to stay in London for a few more days.. I know it's not his fault, it's just infuriating."

Maeve approaches the counter, grabbing the glass before looking up at the blonde, "Do you wanna talk about it.. Or order a shit ton of fast food, get a huge bowl of popcorn and watch shitty movies?"

"God you know me so well!" Taylor snorts, placing her hand on Maeve's arm, giggling softy whilst walking to her sofa.

Once the pair had settled onto the sofa with a big bowl of popcorn on the table in front of them, Maeve had rested her head on Taylor's shoulder, cuddling up to the almost birthday girl.

"So what movie are ya thinkin'?" Maeve asks.

"I- can we just talk- there's so much I need to say and I feel like you're the only one I can tell.."

"Oh, of course, sweetheart. What's going on in that pretty little head of yours?" Maeve comforts, pulling her head off of the other woman's shoulder. Maeve looks at Taylor, seeing the vulnerability in her eyes, Maeve pulls Taylor's hand into hers. She rubs the back of Taylor's hand with her thumb.

Taylor lets out a breath of relief she didn't know she was holding, sighing softly before she starts to explain what's going on, "I.. So obviously I told you I like women and all that- that's one of the main things and I just- I.. God it's so hard to explain. I- as much as I love Joe, I want to explore that. To make sure..."
