Castaway (Lady Gaga x Taylor Kinney Fan Fic)

3 - Fucks I Give

Chapter 3: Fucks I Give

I was sleeping peacefully. I was actually dreaming that I am slaying MTV's Video Music Awards with my songs until a banging knock on my door woke me up. I opened my eyes and adjusted my sight and opened the door. My day was ruined, it was the un-gentleman guy.

"What is your problem?" I asked while I wipe my eyes trying to wake my soul.

"Uh. Did I wake you up?" He giggled a bit. I don't know if he's trying to annoy me again or he's just asking. I didn't reply and continued glaring at him.

"Well, uh, there's a buffet breakfast upstairs I just thought you-"
"Duh." I retorted and rolled my eyes and closed the door. I don't like people, I'm independent, I don't know why but I feel annoyed when I see him. I paused and tried to listen. "...you don't want to come? At the ballroom...Okay." I heard him as his voice fades. Suddenly my phone consecutively rang thrice. Tweet notification.


Zedd
@ladygaga I've been tweeting you ddnt know you changed username.

@ladygaga check your mail!!! i tweaked the instrumental of your song, Burqa.

@ladygaga I added some beats and effects along with the guitar instrumental you sent me.


Wow. That's exciting! I immediately downloaded the mix he sent me, listened to it hundred times and it was perfect. I feel like I want to perform that very moment. I remembered, there is a grand piano at the ballroom. I immediately fixed myself and went straight to the ballroom.

As I entered the ballroom, I grabbed some meals at the buffet, I took meatballs, pasta, spaghetti and pizza.

"Woah. I thought you wouldn't come." The un-gentleman guy sprung beside me.

"You again." I sighed.
"You aren't very hungry, are you?" He joked.
"Not quite." I answered with a poker face and after a couple of seconds, I realized he was watching me grabbing more foods. I ignored him and walked straight to an empty table and concentrated eating the delicious meatballs. Suddenly he came by my table.

"Bother if we share tables?" He asked but I just smiled. He sat down and began eating.

"Are you following me?" I confronted him. "I don't have twitter."
"So when I talk about following, I'm talking about twitter..." I replied.
"Just kidding." He giggled but didn't answer my question, I refused to ask again though. We continued eating until we finished our meals. We stared at each other wondering what to say.

"Uh, after everything else, I'm Taylor. Taylor Kinney." He introduced himself but I just smiled. He smiled back waiting for me to introduce myself too.
"So you like to be Miss Anonymous, huh?" He joked and I ignored. After a while, the pianist finished playing his piece and the host went on the microphone.

"Is everyone having a great day?" The host began. "Great. Thank you Mr. Bailey for that wonderful music piece. Is there anyone who would like to entertain everyone?" He asked and smiled at everyone. It took sometime before I gain courage but it faded away.

"This girl." An unknown man with blonde and weird hairstyle pointed at me. "She's a great singer." He added and the crowd cheered. The host went down and escorted me. "For real? No." Taylor whispered but I raised my eyebrow and he went silent and watched everything.

That very moment when people are cheering for me, I felt confidence building up inside me. I immediately walked to the sound system manager and gave some instructions and plugged my phone for mix that Zedd sent me that morning.

"May we know your name?" The host asked.
"Uhm. Ste..." I hanged and explored the crowd with my eyes, they were all smiling.
"Ste?" The host asked. I went back on focus.
"Gaga. Lady Gaga." I answered and smiled. The crowd woo-ed and looked very amused.
"Woah. Lady Gaga! Okay! Make us go Gaga with your song!" The host began and walked away.

I sat down at the piano chair and began to play and sing peacefully.

♪...Oh I... I can't believe, what you said to me last night we were alone...♪

The people were watching while smiling, looking somehow pleased but I felt unsatisfied. I want to drop their jaws, or make the woo, so I continued singing.

♪...You left me speechless. So speechless.

I sustained and the remix played. I sang Burqa in my cocaine energy level.


♪...Behind the aura, behind the curtain, behind the burqa...♪

And I ended with some awesome dance moves then I did some pose at the end and they're jaws were all dropped, some were even clapping and dancing to the beat. Then, Taylor was like surprised that I am slaying. I'm like. WATCH ALL THE FUCKS I GIVE.

Soon after, the host came back and thanked me and he praised me after he knew it was my own song.

After the buffet service, I decided to walk back to my room and Taylor came on the way.

"Miss anonymous!" He called and I paused from walking.

"Lady Gaga? Is that your real name? That's weird." I just stared at him.
"Okay. Well. Uh. You don't like talking, do you?"
"The question is, Why do you always cross my way?" I asked.
"Destiny?" He replied.
"Jesus, no." I retorted and continued walking leaving him behind. After I took some steps away from him, a blonde guy with weird hair came near me, he was the one who pointed me a while back.

"Lady Gaga?" He assured. "I knew it. You were fantastic a while back! Really. I'm a fan, I should say!" He shared with joy across his face. I felt flattered and joy. "Wow. That is... Wow. Thank you. Thank you." I replied.

"I'm Jared. Jared Leto." He introduced. "So you're really born as Lady Gaga?" He asked. I turned to Taylor and saw him watching, I turned back to Jared. "How about let's talk somewhere else?" I asked and he brought me to the balcony upstairs.

On our way to the balcony I answered his question. "I'm Stefani... Germanotta." I saw amusement on his face and he nodded. "So is he your boyfriend?" He asked. I was clueless. "Boyfriend? Who?" I was bewildered. "The guy you were talking a while back? I always see you together around." He added.

"No. Not at all. I mean oh my God, no." I blatantly denied. "We always cross ways and he would follow me... Which is actually annoying." I shared. "Maybe he likes you?" He teased. "He's too cocky. He's annoying. He's not gentle. He's not ... I don't know. Just... No." I answered and he giggled with how much I hated Taylor.

"So I assume you don't have any boyfriend?" He asked. "Nope. None at all." I abruptly answered and he smiled.

We talked the whole time and I walked around the corridors until it was quite late.

The next days. I noticed that Taylor isn't following me anymore. Thank God.
