The Art Of Taylex

Phonecalls and Play backs

Taylor was sprawled out on the grass,staring at her phone. Tyler had been trying to call her constantly but she's been missing them because she always managed to be on stage performing when he does. Most of the time she was performing her new favorite live song,Kiss Me Again with Alex. But today was the shoot for the video. So here she was. Staring at the tiny little box in between her nimble fingers,biting her lip in thought. Maybe she should just text him? No. Texts with Tyler are often stand-offish and come off insensitive because they are both extremely sassy and joke around a lot. But when you're texting, it's hard to tell the joke behind words. She sighed,deciding to just call him later. "There you are! Hey,we have to do the concert scene for the video shoot in five-..you okay?" Tay fakes a smile and nods. "Of course! Let's go!" Mike nods suspiciously with a raised brow,walking back inside and down to his basement with everyone else. "Tay!" Jordan called. She turned and smiled,hugging him. "That was a long bathroom break." He joked. Tay rolled her eyes and playfully smacked his shoulder. "Shut up."

"Okay,everyone! We need the band and Alex on stage!" The director orders. They all climb up but right when Alex and Tay are in each other's vicinity,they blush and look everywhere other than each other.

After a few takes

"Alex,Tay. I need you two more comfortable and loose in order for this to work." The director sighs. They both nod and the director called for playback. Once the music started,the jitters went away and they started acting like their normal selves. But as the song went on the couldn't help but stare at each other aimlessly with every lyric that rung through the other's ear. It was like they were speaking in a pre-written script for some cheap and cheesy fan fiction. "You're more than a friend,i knew it from the first sight,yeah.." They couldn't help but gravitate towards once another until they were face to face,still singing but smiling and mesmerized. They forgot about anyone else in the room,about anyone else in the world for that matter. All they knew was that it felt right. "And cut! Great job you guys!" And,as if it were magic,the awkwardness loomed over the two once again and Tay quickly went to hair and make-up for the second shot. She was nervous because she let the guys take over for the video idea so she could video chat Tyler. The most she knew and helped with was the idea that it was a bunch of friends hanging out and performing in Mike's garage. But since that shot was out of the way,she was flying blind here. She had to do whatever it was though,and she had to do it naturally. Once the hair and make-up team was finished, she looked at herself and smiled,seeing she was in a average white dress and her make-up was as natural as possible. "I love it. Thank you so much." Tay hugged them and made her way to set,which was now on the beach and it was eight at night. "We're shooting in the dark?" She asked Rob who simply shrugged in response. "I guess so." She shrugged along and the director told them where to stand. "Okay,you ready?" Alex asked nervously. Tay laughed and raised a brow. "Don't tell me you're nervous to shoot the acting scene," Alex did the same but his face was contorted with confusion. "Didn't they tell you that we have to-" Cameron came over and pulled them apart,Tay feeling uncomfortable and pushing his arm off. She was wondering what Alex was gonna say next. What did they have to do that would make him so nervous? Next,Tay found herself in a car and everyone was piled in the back with Alex driving and her sitting in shot gun. "I want a synchronized three claps on Cameron's guitar part in 3..2..1. Clap,clap,clap. Great!" Tay was having fun but it was getting really crowded,luckily the next part was of everyone getting 'kicked out'. As Alex parked the car,Tay felt like this was all getting so real. She pursed her lips in thought and looked at his side profile as he stared ahead silently,feeling the same way she did but not knowing what to do. He knew what was to happen in the next scene and that would either make or break this entire plan. "Thanks for the ride." And with that,Tay got out and went to stand at her next mark. She looked back at the car and saw Alex mumble to himself before shaking his head and hitting the steering wheel. "Tay,wait a sec!" He quickly got out and the cameras followed him as he scrambled up the sidewalk. She giggled. "Nice running legs,Alex." He chuckled and took a deep breath,his face growing more serious. "What?" Tay asks,confused as to why he was looking at her with an expression she wasn't quite used to. Not from Alex at least. "Nothing,just...hold still,alright?" Tay nodded and Alex slowly caressed her cheek,leaning in. Tay realised what was happening and smiled,doing the same. The moment their lips touched,they were like magnets. It was hard to keep them apart. But they knew that eventually they would have to stop and pretend like they hated it,which neither was ecstatic for. But it had to be this way. They had to hate each other...but lately it's just been a big facedé to hide their true feelings. They didn't want to get shot down or degraded if they pretended to like any of their little white lie.
