Taylor's p.o.v:
I dressed in a simple black and grey leopard print crop, and black shorts. I know this is the Lover era - meaning colours and happiness - but a girl needs to wear dark clothes every now and then. Especially on a miserable day like today. Oh there i go again, throwing myself a pity party. I needed to snap out of it before Selena arrived, not because i'm embarrassed (she's seen my like this before plenty of times), but because i don't want to get her down. Whatever her good news was, i seemed to make her happy. I didn't want to go around ruining more peoples' (or animals') moods. I'd already stopped Mer and Dibbles having what they would call 'fun' by stopping them from killing poor little Ben.
I was quickly snapped out of my thoughts when the doorbell rang, signalling Selena's arrival.
"Hey girl!" I said, opening the door. "Thanks for coming."
She was carrying a large bag of goodies, consisting of cookies, chocolate and cupcakes, much like the one i brought around to her place one of the many times she was having a really tough break up with... (i cringed as i thought the name) Justin.
"Aw you know i love spending time with you." She began. "Anyway, i brought you some snacks hoping they would help cheer you up!"
"Your presence alone is enough to cheer me up, but that's so sweet."
"I love you, T." She sat down and began stroking Olivia, who was ferociously purring. "So, what brings you to London?"
"Oh. Just to get some alone time, really. I've finished the album and there really isn't much to do until the release." I said. "You?"
"Well... " She grinned cheekily. "That's what i needed to tell you."
"AHHHH." I screamed. "Tell me!!"
"Well, i've been hanging out with..."
"Harry? Calvin? Tom?"
"Ew no. You have bad taste in men girl." She muttered. "Except Harry, he's a cutie."
"OK BUT WHO HAVE YOU BEEN ROMANCING?!?!?!"
"Romancing?" She snorted. "Niall."
"WAIT... Horan? AGAIN?"
"Yeah." She said, smiling and looking embarrassed. "But we never really dated before. This time it's serious. What do you think?"
"I should've known, honestly. With him being the 'Irish Justin Bieber' and all" I laughed at my own joke.
"Oh but he's better." She squealed. "He's smart and funny and thoughtful and respectful and brilliant and I love his accent!!"
"I'm happy for you baby!" I said, genuinely. "He is really nice, and he's one of my friends too so hopefully it won't get too awkward."
"Wait, but..." Selena said, and as soon as she said it i knew what she meant.
"Oh crap!" I thought out loud. "Harry..."
"Ugh. Just get back together with him already. I know y'all like each other."
"I am so not crushing on Harry Styles right now. I-"
"Deny it all you want." She smiled. "But the truth will come out one day. And for everyone's sake i hope it happens sooner rather than later."
a/n: HAYLORRRRRRR. Also i think this is my favourite chapter i've written so far :)
