isn't it? [taylor swift]

chapter 3

"The sun is shining and it's going to be a hot day here in LA! Keep hydrated, and to kick off the morning we are gonna play you feel good tunes!"

Leia smiled as she turned the radio up slightly, humming along to the pop song that blared through her radio speakers.

She'd crashed over after they'd finished their hike, staying in Taylor's guest room after they'd shared a bottle of wine and Leia had listened to Taylor's deep worries about her relationship with Calvin Harris, and how Tom Hiddleston might be the reason she needed to leave the Scottish DJ.

Leia also had just survived her first encounter with the paparazzi being aware of her completely, and she knew that the candids of her leaving Taylor's house that morning would soon be spread across her twitter feed.

When Leia had been younger she had once been just like those fans on social media. She even went as far as having a shared fan account with her sister, dedicated to Zayn Malik's single strand of hair from the 2014 American Music Awards. It was safe to say that she had since disbanded the account and had promised herself to never re-enter stan twitter now that she actually was beginning to know all of these people on a personal level. She'd take that fact to the grave.

Still, this didn't stop her from being almost excited at the prospect of seeing what Taylor's fans would think of her and Taylor's new-found friendship. She knew she had a small but growing fanbase, but she also was vividly aware of the power that Taylor's fans held. She really hoped that the Swifties accepted her as Taylor's friend or she wasn't sure what she would do.

Noticing that she had almost arrived at her destination, Leia lifted her hand to allow her sunglasses to fall down from the top of her head and sit lightly on her nose. Hitting her indicator in time to the beat on the song she chuckled to herself as she pulled into the small parking lot on the side of the road.

She could already see a swarm of paps surrounding the building that she was going to try and get into, making her wonder if she really should start looking into a security guard soon. Riven and Adrian had told her it was something they'd need to think about if this kept up. After taking a couple of minutes to find a parking space that she actually thought her driving skills were capable of getting into, she sighed in relief as she turned off the ignition. If she hadn't been a singer, there was no way she'd ever have made it as a driver in another life.

Ducking and dodging her way through the flashing crowd outside the small restaurant that Karlie had requested they try, Leia almost fell into the building once she made it out of the huddle. Noticing her flustered look, she was instantly greeted by one of the members of staff from the restaurant. Leia smiled at the young girl especially as she realised that she could only have been like a year younger than herself.

The way her hands shook slightly as she reached out and took Leia's jacket from her hands indicated one thing to Leia: she knew who she was and she was a fan (maybe, or maybe she just got nervous around celebrities). Ignoring the fact that the girl had actually brought a jacket in the heat that was happening outside, the waitress politely lead her to the side of the restaurant where Karlie had already informed her that she was waiting on Leia.

The blonde broke out into a massive grin as she noticed her friend striding across the restaurant to their table. Launching to her feet, she laughed as she pulled her into a welcoming hug. It had only been a week since they had last seen each other but with Karlie's busy schedule it felt like it had been forever.

"I ordered you the usual, hope you don't mind?" Karlie informed her as they both sat back down at the table. Leia smiled warmly at her friend as she nodded contently. Karlie and Leia knew each other like the back of a book; hence why Karlie had always known that her and Taylor would become the perfect friends.
