Taylor watches amidst a frantic chaos as angels fly by her, wings spreading behind them. Some wings short and motionless, other supported by a person in black with a headset on. "You're on in 5 Taylor!" she hears someone call as she snaps out of her trance. Backstage at one of her concerts, she realized, is nothing like being backstage at a Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. There was never a relaxed moment. Butterflies buzzed in her gut, the wings of nervousness brushing against her heart as the fluttering made her body temperature sky-rocket. "Water..." she said to herself as she approached the the cooler filled with bottles of Dasani© water. Reaching for one of the bottles, she bumps knuckles with a hand just as skinny as her own, sending shockwaves through her body. "Oh sorry" they both said in unison. As they shared a laugh, Taylor noticed the large colorful wings which sat on the sculpted back of a tall, lanky brunette. "Hi, I'm Taylor" she said with a smile and a quick wave. "I'm Karlie. So nice to meet you! My sisters and I are huge fans!" Karlie retorted with a giggle. Taylor couldn't help but notice the slight bounce of Karlie's breasts in her bright pink bra, just above her ribs and toned abs. Her eyes continued to scan the model down to her long, lean legs pumped up by signature Victoria's Secret heels, large colorful wings dripping down from just above her head to the back of her heels. Karlie found herself guilty of the same, silently yet quickly examining Taylor's magnificent figure. The distorted British flag embraced her tiny waist and flowed out behind her revealing her toned legs. Her eyes shined and sparkled uncontrollably like an ocean in an everlasting daylight. Although she had only ever seen her on TV, Karlie finally confirmed to herself that Taylor truly was the spitting image of an Earth Angel sent to send Karlie's body through a nerve-wrecking state of shock. They were both stricken silent by each other until Karlie finally spoke "You're so breathtaking..." she said absentminded. Before Taylor could respond, still looking into Karlie's green eyes, she heard from across the room "Taylor you're on in 10 seconds! Let's get a move on!" and like ripping a band-aid off of a wound, her eyes were torn away from Karlie by a crew manager pulling Taylor by her wrist. Maybe this was really what being wonderstruck meant...

On stage, Taylor performed the best she could as she tried not to think about Karlie. As the models passed by her, she watched them all while even sharing small moments of girly fun with those she knew before the show. As she's singing on the runway, she feels a hand on the small of her back which sends her senses into a frenzy. She watches as Karlie continues to strut by, a cheeky smile on her face as Taylor struggles to focus on the song. "Two can play at that game" Taylor thinks to herself as Karlie turns at the end of the runway, making eye contact with Taylor as she continues to make her way back stage. After the finale and photos had been taken, Karlie practically sprinted to the dressing room, dying to put on her sweat pants and tank top. When she got there, Candice and Lily had already began changing. They seemed to be laughing about something that happened before she walked in. "Hey what's up haha" she interrupted as she joined they're giggles. "Oh we were just talking about Taylor's after-party. Are you going?" Candice replied. "After-party? I only just met her. She didn't tell me about it..." Karlie said trying not to think too far into it. "I'm more than positive you're invited, Karlie. All of us are going to be there" Lily said as she buckled the clasps on her bra. "Yeah and Taylor's sweet, I doubt she'd throw you out of the party or anything. Come with us!" Candice urged while tying her hair up in a bun, strands of hair still wavering near her neck. Karlie thought for a few seconds. She would get to see Taylor again and she could definitely use a nice outing to celebrate the show's success. "Alright, just let me stop by my apartment first." she replied with a smile. The girls got excited almost instantly. "Awesome! Meet us at my place when you're ready so we can all go together" Lily said picking up her duffel bag and making her way to the exit, Candice in tow. "See you guys later!" she called after them. She was beyond excited for Taylor's party. Her attraction to Taylor almost showed on the runway but tonight, Karlie has no plan to beat around the bush. From the moment she touched Taylor's hand, she knew there was a connection and Taylor couldn't deny it either.
