The Story of Jaylor

Chapter 8

I pick up my phone and call my mom, I haven't told her about Joe yet but I think it's time I do. Especially considering we'd become official a week ago and we've been 'hanging out' for like a month in this apartment together. I figured now was a good time because Joe was out for a few hours. She picks up fairly quickly,

"Hey Taylor, what's up?" I hear her voice coming through the phone

"Not much, how are you doing?" I hear her chuckle down the line

"I'm fine, now am I going to have to drag it out of you? What'd you call to tell me?" I feel a smile creeping on my face, she always just seems to know when I have something to say, she calls it 'mothers intuition'. 

"I met someone." My breath hitches, I'm unsure of what my mothers reaction will be considering what happened with the last two. 

"I figured as much, I haven't heard from you so much recently. Does he make you happy?" I think back on everything to do with Joe and I, my heart immediately warms thinking of him.

"He really does mom. He's so different from everyone else, I don't really know how to explain it. It's just the little things, he's totally understanding of my crazy situation and all of my anxieties and fears and just everything. It hasn't even been that long but I can see myself falling for him, which is crazy but we're taking things slow. I don't want to dive in too deep too fast, and he knows that." 

"Well then, that's amazing. Does he have a name?" I start biting my fingernails,

"Yeah, Joe." My mom and I talk on the phone for a while until I hear the lock click on the front door.

"Hey mom, I gotta go!" I hear her laugh

"Ooooo is Joe home?" Her laughing makes me smile and shake my head

"Oh my god mom stop, I'll call you later. I love you." 

"I love you too baby, come visit me soon okay?" 

"I will, bye mom." The call disconnects and I head downstairs to see what Joe's up to. 

"Hey babe, what were you up to while I was gone?" Joe asks as I walk towards him,

"I just called my mom." He places his hands either side of my waist, gently bringing his lips to mine. 

"Oh yeah? Did you tell her?" I smile up at him, resting my arms around his neck

"Maybe..." Joe grins at me, pressing a kiss to my forehead 

"Well that's good, cause I might have told mine too." I bring my lips to his, kissing him deeply. Joe brings his hands up to my hair, tangling his fingers in it. I feel him moving me backwards until my back hits the wall. Joe presses his body up against mine as I wrap my arms around his neck and my legs around his waist. Suddenly, our make-out session gets interrupted by my phone ringing. I planned on ignoring it but Joe pulls back,

"You should probably get that right?" I groan and nod, Joe lets me down and I walk over to my phone, it's Tree.

"Hello?" I say irritably 

"Taylor! I'm just calling to make sure you've been thinking about your set list for your show in Austin, Texas on the 22nd of October." Oh shit, I'd completely forgotten I was playing that show. Damn it, so much for this peace I'd been living out of the public eye. 

"Uhhh, I can have something put together by tomorrow?" I hear Tree sigh from the other side

"Yeah, that's perfect. Please don't forget this time?" I feel a grin creeping onto my face, she knows me too well.
