The Story of Us

three

After the premiere, Katie had asked Taylor if she wanted to go have some fun.

Taylor agreed, and the two of them were walking down the street, talking and laughing.

Taylor liked the older woman, her sense of humor was what she liked the most. They had became friends fairly quickly, and they got along well. "There's a video of me dancing and lip syncing to Blank Space on my Facebook." Katie said, laughing.

"What? Really?" Taylor had to hold back laughter.

"Yeah..." Katie mumbled, pulling out her phone, and showed Taylor the video.

"Oh my," Taylor laughed. "That's literally the best thing I have ever seen." Katie laughed.

"Thank you." They walked down the street, and into a small restaurant.

The air inside the restaurant smelled of food, and Taylor realized how hungry she was. She ate before the premiere, but that was a good two hours ago.

They took a seat, and they both ordered wine.

When the waiter returned, Taylor ordered a steak, and Katie ordered spaghetti. "Did you know I turned down Prince Harry?" She asked, casually.

"Wait what?" Taylor said, raising her eyebrows.

"Yeah, I met him two years ago." She chuckled.

"Why?" Taylor was surprised.

"Eh, I just didn't want to be seen as 'Harry's Girl.'" Katie shrugged. "I'm engaged now."

"Congrats!" Taylor was happy for her friend.

"Thank you." Katie grinned like a little girl in a candy store.

When the food arrived, they made casual conversation. The night had been full of jokes and laughter.

"Can you imagine the headlines on the news tomorrow?" Katie joked.

"Yeah, it'll be something like, 'Taylor Swift and Katie Cassidy friends?'" Taylor said, shaking her head.

"You and I aren't so different." Katie said, turning to Taylor.

"What do you mean?" Taylor said, not understanding what she meant.

"Well, as you know, I was on Arrow, and I played Laurel Lance." Katie said. "Some people really loved Laurel, and some people despised her," Katie paused. "The people who despised her started to despise me."

Taylor nodded. "Like how some people love me, and others hate me?"

"Exactly." Katie said, and shook her head.

"I'm sorry." Taylor hugged her new friend. "Don't let them get to you."

Katie nodded. "I just don't give a shit anymore."

"That's understandable." Taylor said. "I don't either."

They had finished their dinner, and were standing outside the restaurant.

Katie watched a man leave a building. "Is that Chris Evans?"

"Like Captain America Chris Evans?" Taylor asked, blushing.

"Holy shit! It is!" Katie cackled.

"Wow." Taylor said. "Let's go..."

"You're blushing!" Katie said, excitedly. "Go up to him!"

"N-no I'm good." Taylor started to go in the other direction. Katie grabbed her wrist, and pulled her back the way she came. "What're you doing?"

"Go!" Katie pushed Taylor's shoulder, and she stumbled in the direction of Chris.

Taylor approached him, and shot Katie a I'm going to kill you look. But Katie just grinned, and gave her a thumbs up.

Taylor tapped Chris's shoulder, and he turned around and grinned at her. "Hey you're Taylor Swift." He said, grinning.

"Hey, um, hi yes I am." She blushed.

He laughed. "Is it okay if we get a picture?"

"Yeah, totally." They took a quick picture, and she said, "Here's my number." She rattled the numbers off as he typed it into his phone. "Well, I have to go."

"It was nice meeting you." Chris said, grinning.

"You too." She turned, and speed walked back over to Katie. "I'm totally going to kill you."

"I doubt that." Her friend chuckled. "Let's go."
