Man Of My Dreams

Chapter 11

It's late when Gaga gets home that night. The show took longer than she remembered and then her friend and mentor Elton John dragged her along to an after party. It was a small party with a lot of amazing people and Gaga ended up staying longer than she originally planned to. She got a little drunk, for the first time in almost a year and she is actually sad that the night ended. She grins softly while she fumbles with her keys to open the door. Hours ago, she was standing on the other side, desperately trying to find an excuse to stay home with Taylor and Joey.

The house is silent and dark and a twinge of disappointment shoots through her. She was looking forward to talking to Taylor for a little while before going to bed. She stumbles through the hall and almost trips over her own feet. She giggles lightly as she bends down to take her heels off. They look beautiful, but they are not very comfortable. Her feet ache, but taking the shoes off already relieves a lot of the pain. She proceeds to the bathroom and quickly brushes her teeth. She takes of her makeup as well and then she enters the master bedroom. Taylor is snoring a little and Gaga grins. The moonlight is shining on his face and he looks beautiful, so she snaps a quick picture of him.

Gaga eventually slides under the covers and she curls up against Taylor. She is bored and very awake and Taylor's snores are not helping. She quietly pokes his side and he stirs a little. 'Hey there,' she whispers in his ear with a soft giggle. He opens one eye and looks at her. 'You're home, I see?' He sleepily asks and she nods as she lays her head on his chest. 'You were right,' she murmurs. 'It was fun.' She looks at him and sees that he also opened his other eye. To her, that's a sign that tells her that she can tell him everything now, so she starts rambling on and on about her night.

Gaga's constant talking tires her, so after a while she quiets down and she slowly closes her eyes. 'I thought you were beautiful,' Taylor softly tells her as he kisses the top of her head. 'And your performance was so good and you were also very funny in the interviews you did.' He snakes his arm around her shoulders and pulls her closer. 'I completely agree with that guy that told you that I was a lucky guy to have you.' Gaga opens her eyes and looks at him. 'That's sweet.' She supports herself on her elbows so she can lean in and softly kiss Taylor.

When they both almost fall asleep, Gaga suddenly bursts into giggles. 'Did you see the interview where that lady asked me if we talked about wedding plans yet?' She asks Taylor and he nods sleepily. 'Yeah,' he murmurs, 'because your dress was white just like a wedding gown, right?' Gaga nods. 'I promised her we would talk soon.' She grins and Taylor looks at her. 'Does soon mean now?' He asks and Gaga shrugs. 'Tomorrow is also fine.' She grins sleepily and then closes her eyes again.

Gaga dreams of white dresses and wonderful weddings that night. Laughter, tears, love, happiness; it all comes back in her dreams. When she wakes up, late in the morning, she grabs her notepad. She jots thoughts and fragments of her dreams down and makes a few quick sketches of everything she remembers. The images of her dreams fade away so quickly, but she tries to hold on to them as long as possible. She lies down on her back and smiles wide. Marrying Taylor will be the best decision of her life, she has never been so sure of something before.

After that night, Gaga and Taylor start discussing their plans. Choosing a city was not a big deal. Not Chicago, not New York, but the sunny Los Angeles is the place where they want to get married. 'And not too many people,' Gaga laughs. 'I want it to be special, with only the people that mean most to us there.' Taylor wraps his arm around her and pulls her into his arms. 'I completely agree with that.' He whispers in her ear and she smiles. She presses her body against his and kisses him softly. 'Where will we go on honeymoon?' She murmurs.

Months later, the honeymoon is planned and even more important, the whole wedding is planned. 'Tomorrow is the big day,' Gaga curls up against Taylor while they are watching NCIS. 'Are you nervous?' He responds and she laughs lightly. 'No, I'm not.' She tells him and he squeezes her softly. 'Are you?' She asks him and he shakes his head. 'Nah,' he murmurs as he kisses her head. 'I'm excited. I love you.' She smiles wide and then leans in to give him a soft kiss.
