After releasing her new single, You and I, Gaga was so excited to start filming the music video. She had so many ideas and she knew exactly what she wanted to do with it. It would be shot in Nebraska, the hometown of her best friend, and ex-boyfriend, since the song was written about him. She worked with the Haus to figure out all the outfits, props, and how each scene was to be shot. They picked out the perfect place to be the setting of the music video. She and all of the Haus and staff flew into Nebraska. They got onto their tour bus, and began the 2 and a half hour drive to the video set. Gaga was discussing different make up looks with Tara to pass the time. “Ok, so I was thinking that I should have less makeup in the mermaid scene…. what do you think?” Gaga asked Tara. “Awww… but I was gonna use this pretty blue eye shadow to go with the color of your tail!” Tara said. “No, I think less makeup would be better,” Gaga said. “I really should have the final say on this… since I am the expert,” Tara said sarcastically. “Yeah, I don’t think so!” Gaga said, smiling. “Fine,” Tara said, sticking her tongue out at her. “I’ll let you decide on the makeup for when I wear the dark wig then,” Gaga said. “Yay!” Tara said, and began experimenting with different eye shadows and eyeliner. The whole rest of the bus ride, Gaga let everyone know how excited she was for the video, for the millionth time. Everyone was sick of hearing it, but they all just smiled and nodded. When they got there, Gaga ran out of the bus and surveyed the area. All of her staff started to arrive shortly after, and began to set everything up. She made sure that everything was the way she wanted it to be. Just as she was choosing the outfits she was going to wear, Nicola came up to her. “Gaga, the male lead is here,” he said. “Oh, I completely forgot about that!” she said. Gaga didn’t have enough time to scope out actors for her music videos, so she relied on members of the house to choose a good actor that would fit the role. Nicola took her hand and led her to a Suburban parked by one of the tour buses. A tall, handsome, muscular man got out of the car. She suddenly couldn’t wait to film the wedding scene. “Gaga, this is Taylor Kinney… Taylor, this is Gaga,” Nicola said, introducing them. “Hi Taylor! Thank you for coming and being in my music video!” Gaga said smiling, and hugged him. “I’m so happy to be here. I’ve always loved your music and I’m so honored to be a part of this,” he said. “Aww, well thank you!” Gaga said, smiling. “You do know that you have to kiss her, right?” Nicola said. Taylor laughed. “Oh Nicola… that wasn’t very nice!” Gaga said. “Well, I would consider that more of a privilege rather than a bad thing,” Taylor said. Gaga giggled and smiled at him. “He’s nicer than you, Nicola. Maybe its time to hire a new creative director!” she teased. She giggled, and hugged Nicola. “I’m just kidding… I could never replace you!” she said. “Anyway… its time to get ready for filming the first scene!” Nicola said “Ok. Bye!” she said to Taylor, smiling at him. He led Gaga to where the costumes were. Gaga got into costume and got her hair and makeup done. Taylor’s outfit was picked out ahead of time, but at the last minute Gaga requested that he would be shirtless the whole video, because ‘it would fit the theme better in the video’. They did the ‘Frankenstein’ shot first. The idea of the scene was that her ‘lover’ was trying to fix and change her, so she wanted to depict it in a literal way. For the next scene, Gaga had to lay on a table, practically naked. She wore a nude colored thong, since the angle of the shot wouldn’t show it. Her thong was the only thing she wore, and she kept her hands over her breasts for the shot. He couldn’t believe that he was being paid to stare at her sexy, nearly naked body as they filmed. When they were done, one of her assistants gave her a robe for her to wear. While she put it on, Taylor caught a glimpse of her breasts. She wasn’t in that much of a hurry to cover herself up, and she obviously didn’t mind being exposed. Taylor assumed it was because she was practically naked at some point in each of her music videos. At this point, their first day of filming was over. Gaga and Taylor had flirted the whole time, Gaga starting to really like him. Right after Gaga got out of costume, Tara went over to Gaga, almost immediately after they had turned the cameras off. “Let’s go get drinks!” she said. Gaga turned to Taylor. “Would you like to come too?” she asked. “Sure,” he said, smiling. So Gaga, Taylor, Tara, and the rest of the Haus went to a bar nearby to celebrate a successful day of filming. Gaga purposely sat next to Taylor at the bar, and Tara sat next to her. They all ordered their drinks, Gaga getting a Jameson as always. The three of them talked for a while, Taylor making Tara and Gaga laugh. They were all having fun, until Taylor’s phone rang. “Hold on,” Taylor said, smiling at them, and then answered his phone. “Hello?… oh, hi!… ok, what?…..why?…. ugh… ok. I’ll try to find a solution… ok, bye,” Taylor hung up. “What happened?” Gaga asked. “Well, somehow my hotel reservation got cancelled, so I’ll have to go to another hotel,” he said. “You can stay with me if you want,” Gaga said, smiling. “Really?” Taylor said. “Yeah, sure. I wouldn’t want to make you try and find another hotel at this hour,” Gaga said. “Ok. Thanks, Gaga,” he said, smiling. “No problem,” she said. Gaga’s assistant, Sonya, came over to her and told her that she was to leave the bar early, so she could get a good nights sleep for the next day. So she took Gaga back to the hotel and helped her unpack. A half an hour went by, and Sonya heard a knock on the door. She opened it, and it was Taylor. “Oh, hi Taylor! Gaga is in the next room. Is that all your stuff?” she said, looking at his suitcase he had brought. “Yup, this is it,” he said. “Ok. Well I better get going,” Sonya said. “Remember your bed time!” she called to Gaga. “Yeah, yeah, I know,” Gaga said back to her. “Goodnight Taylor!” Sonya said, and left. The hotel room was far fancier than any other hotel he had ever been in. The living room was well decorated, with nice couches and a large TV. There was a small kitchen too, with granite counter tops and wooden cabinets, matching the color scheme of the rest of the room. He set down his suitcase in the corner of the room. He looked over to the closed bedroom door, where he assumed Gaga was. He knocked on it twice. “Gaga?” he said. “Come in,” she said. He opened the door, and saw Gaga in bed reading a book. The bedroom was just as fancy as the living room. It had nice, satin sheets and lots of fluffy pillows piled onto the bed. Gaga looked up and smiled at him. “Hey,” she said, smiling sweetly, closing her book. “Hi,” Taylor said, smiling back. “You’re wearing you’re pajamas already!” Gaga said. “Yup. I was at my manager’s hotel room for a while, so I just changed there. Do you like them?” Taylor said smiling. He had on a white undershirt and long, light blue pajama pants. Gaga’s pajamas consisted of only a Born This Way T-shirt and panties. “Hmmm, I as expecting footie pajamas with rocket ships on it,” Gaga said laughing. Taylor laughed too. “Maybe if I was four,” he said smiling. “So when is your bedtime?” Taylor asked. Gaga looked at the clock beside her. “Its 9:59… so one minute,” she said. “Ok, well you better get to bed then,” he said smiling. He thought he was going to have to sleep on the couch, but then Gaga scooched over from the middle of the bed to the side, and patted the bed next to her, signaling to him to sleep in her bed. He sat in the bed next to her and got under the covers. She adjusted her pillow so she was laying down instead of in a sitting up position. Taylor laid down too, and they looked at each other. Gaga sighed. “Well, its 10 o’clock now,” she said, looking at him. “Ok,” Taylor said, smiling. He turned off the lamp on the side table. “Sweet dreams,” Taylor said. Gaga giggled. “Goodnight Taylor,” she said. They both closed their eyes, and their heads were flooded with thoughts of each other. Gaga had fallen asleep quickly, dreaming of him. He was so handsome and charming… he gave her butterflies in her stomach every time he looked into her eyes. Taylor couldn’t believe that he was laying in bed with the worlds most famous pop star. She was so beautiful and funny, and seemed like the perfect girl for him. He lay in bed, listening to her slow, deep breathing, and the slow rise and fall of her chest. She looked so peaceful and beautiful while she slept. He watched her as he slowly began to doze off, smiling as he thought of her.
