The Other Side of the door (Taylor Swift)

Chapter 9: You R in love

Taylor

I woke up with a cold and groaned. Remembering that it rained last night and me and Nathan got wet. Since we were stupid enough to not listen to the old couple but we enjoyed ourselves at that countryside. I smiled at the thought then I sneeze. Making me groaned yet again. I stayed up in my bed the whole morning when I decided to call Nathan to go buy and bring me medicine. Which I did.

Grabbing my phone on my nightstand, I dialed his number and waited for him to answer.

After four rings he answered, I said "finally! it took you long enough to answer your phone", I hear shuffling on the other side of the line so I asked "where are you right now?", "At school, actually I was in class but then you called and here I am now outside, at the hallway to be exact", he said in full sarcasm, I giggled and sneezed again.

Grabbing a piece of tissue I blew my nose slightly as I sniff "are you okay?", he asks, I rolled my eyes but a smile on my face "what do you think?"I asked back, I heard him cursed and I can feel worry in his voice "your sick", I nodded and realize that he cant see me, I said as a matter-of-fact "obviously" then giggled again. "Can you come and stay here at my house and buy me medicine too?"I asked.

A silence make its way between us before I hear him said "sure, be there in 20" then we bid goodbye and hanged up. I waited for him to come then finally I heard a knock on the door.

Nathan

I rushed back inside and asked the professor if he could excuse me because an emergency came up, the professor agreed and I rushed outside, ran down the stairwell and out the school entrance.

I hopped inside my car and drove to the nearest pharmacy, I asked the pharmacist a medicine for cough and cold and recommended rest for whoever was sick, I nodded and payed the bill. I got back inside the car and drove again straight to her house, when I reached the door, it took at least five minutes and then heard the knob turn.

She opened the door, her appearance like that of a child sick, teary eyes, runny nose and almost unable to speak because of her cough.

I hurriedly came in, took my coat off, touched her forehead, assisted her back to bed and went to the kitchen. I cooked chicken soup to warm her body a bit. I rushed back upstairs and went to her bedside.

I sat in a stool next to her but she said she wanted me to sit down beside her and so I did, once I did, she suddenly crawled up to lay her head on my chest, she played the button of my shirt with her finger, curled my hair and played with my hand.

"I wish we are always like this" she said, "what if we fight?" I told her. "If we fight then let's fight like any normal couple and make up like normal couples do, I don't want us to fight like Im Taylor, If we fight, lets fight like Alison and Nathan, like cat and dog" she then giggled. "Couple?" I said, "Do you want to be my girlfriend?, and be a couple?" I asked, she looked at me then nodded and said sarcastically "we're already doing a lot of stuffs that couples do, so aren't we a couple already?".

"You're right about that, I don't know if me being with you can make you happy but I promise Id make you happy for as long as I live and when were together, if its want you want, Id be happy and honored to be your boyfriend" I said. "So that means were a couple now?" she asked, "No" I answered.

"Why not?!" she asked loudly, "well its because I didn't formally ask you to be and if I do ask you I want it to be special and memorable, I don't want it to be plain old, I want it like Im.....about..to...propose to you, like a pre-proposal" and hey I thought you're throat hurt so how come you yelled at me" I asked, she let out a little cough almost acting cute and I covered my eyes by placing my hand on top to hide the uncontrollable laugh I might let out.

She looked at me wanting to take my hand off my face but I instantly turned over and was on top of her. I saw her unbuttoned top and her cleavage but what shocked me the most was her unwillingness to fight me nor did she push me off and most of all her eyes close like she was waiting for me to kiss her.

I leaned in closer but suddenly got interrupted in the middle of kissing her because my phone rang, I took it out of my pocket but she instantly snatched it and read the name of the person who was calling "Lena Gauche". I tried to take it back but she already answered it "hello, this is Nathan's phone, he cant come right now because he's busy being with me", the girl on the other side of the phone asked who she was and why she had my phone, she answered "This is Alison and stop calling Nathan", the girl asked "why?". "Because Nathan is my boyfriend" she answered, I heard Lena hung up after hearing what Alison said.

She laugh the moment Lena hanged up and I had a strange look in my face, "what?" she said, "nothing" I said while I messed her hair and kissed her forehead. I stood up but she held my hand and asked "aren't you going to continue what was interrupted by Lena?" , "Maybe next time, when no one will interrupt us again" I replied but as soon as I was about to turn around straight for the door, she stood up, wrapped her arms around my neck, tip toed like a ballerina and kissed me, at first she teased me by joking around kissing nose but then she kissed me on the lips "SHE KISSED ME!!!!FOR GOD'S SAKE!!!OH MY GOD!!" the kiss left me speechless but then she brought me back to earth and said "thats our first kiss, I know we could do better but for the mean time lets just kiss like this because I'm sick but when I get better, I'll give you the best kiss you wont forget".

I remembered how Lena kissed me but kissing Alison was way better. She's my first kiss again after a long time but it never felt more irreplaceable and memorable, I wanted to treasure it forever.

I hugged her and thanked her for coming into my life and for god who gave me a second chance to love and to meet her.

It didn't feel like a strange encounter by the grocery store anymore, it felt more like we were destined to find each other at that grocery store that one cold night. That day that changed both of our ordinary lives and turned it to some sweet, enchanted and magical entanglement between a normal guy and a famous girl trying to live life the normal way, but it turned out our lives were more than beautiful or magical, it was also crazy, like crazy good and I don't want this kind of craziness to end.

I was really in love now, its not a question anymore its a fact and I feel it more and more of being with her, then she suddenly grabbed a pen and wrote something on a paper "YOU R INLOVE" she writes and I said "YES" and kissed her again, this time much longer than the first kiss and said "thats our second kiss and next time lets do it much better and greater okay, I can't wait for that kiss to come" then she said "don't worry its just around the corner and we'll do it perfectly just stay by my side and don't ever leave me", I nodded and hugged her carrying her and spinning her around, she laugh then we tumbled back to bed and I kissed her forehead.

"I love you, Nathan"she said, I couldn't control myself and said "I love you too, Taylor Alison Finlay Swift" and she kissed me again which makes it the third kiss we had in just 20 minutes but I didn't hold back, I kissed her back passionately.

"Are you gonna stay the night?", she asked "if you want me too".

We laid on the bed until we both fell asleep in each others arms.
