Jaylor One Shots

The Favourite

Taylor was sitting in the living room of their apartment, getting her makeup and hair done for the BAFTA awards tonight. Well, she wasn't actually going to the event. She was going to be meeting her boyfriend afterwards to celebrate with him at whatever after party he chose to attend. She wasn't really pressed for time because she didn't need to be at the official event so her hair and makeup team were working pretty slowly, laughing with her and just chatting. Joe was off in another room getting ready for the event itself, but he was almost done because she knew he needed to leave in about ten minutes.

Sure enough, she sees him hovering in the doorway outside where she's getting ready. Taylor quickly excuses herself, walking over to him in the hallway.

"Hey! Are you ready?" He nods, she can tell he's nervous and she grabs his hands, squeezing them tightly.

"What's wrong?" She says softly, looking into his eyes. 

"I'm just nervous, like I know I'm not single handedly-nominated for anything but I just want this to do well. I'm proud of this project." Joe looks down at their hands, Taylor lets go of one of his hands and gently rubs his shoulder.

"I know, I have a good feeling that you guys will win awards tonight! But even if you don't, you're still going to have a great time with your cast-mates and I'll be joining you later." He sighs,

"It's easy for you to say that, you've won like a million awards!" Taylor grabs his chin, forcing him to look at her.

"Maybe I have, but I do know it sucks not to win something you really wanted. Trust me, I understand. But please try not to bank your success or talent on the awards you win tonight. It won't end you up in a good place. Besides, I love you no matter what." Joe's face softens, he puts his hands on either side of my waist and kisses me gently. I let my eyes flutter shut as I smile against his lips, opening them as we both pull away. 

"You look handsome tonight." She says, grinning at him. He smiles back at her, thank god he's smiling. She lives for those smiles.

"Thanks babe. You look gorgeous." Taylor shakes her head,

"Barely anything has been done to me yet!" She giggles,

"I know, but you're always gorgeous." Taylor feels a blush rising on her cheeks before her boyfriend pulls her in for another quick kiss.

"You feeling better?" She asks him softly, placing a hand on his arm, which was still resting on her hip. He nods,

"Still nervous, but it'll be okay. I know it will." She smiles, squeezing his arm gently 

"Yeah it will, I have a feeling awards will be won tonight for you guys. That movie was incredible and so are you!" He grins at her, sneaking in another quick kiss.

"I've gotta go now babe, but I'll see you later okay?" She wraps her arms around his neck, giving him a quick hug before letting him go.

"Of course! Text me where we're going as soon as you know! And text me live updates about any awards won okay?" He nods,

"Of course. I love you!" 

"I love you too. Good luck!" As she goes to walk away from him, he grabs her wrist, quickly pulling her back to him and kissing her again. 

"For luck." He winks at her, before letting her go and walking towards the front door. She feels a stupid grin on her face, god she's so lucky, and in love. Composing herself, she walks back into the living room, continuing to get ready for her outing. 

----------------------

Three hours later, she's heading out the door. Joe has text her the details of the after-party location and it's about 45 minutes away. She's posted a picture of herself, and her dress to her social media, thanking Stella McCartney for the dress as a little Easter egg for her fans. She also congratulated The Favourite for winning 7 BAFTA awards! Taylor was so happy for Joe and couldn't wait to go congratulate them all in person. She happily hops into the back of the car, excited for the party. Most of her nerves about being out with Joe in public are washed away at this point, replaced with her excitement for him. She knew how nervous he was and was proud of him for going and having a good time. 

Taylor pulls up outside the Grosvenor House London. Joe had text her 10 minutes ago that they'd all arrived and were inside. She quickly steps out, entering through a back doorway. Not particularly wanting to be spotted on her way in. Once inside, she was met with the bustling of people and immediately went to seek out Joe. She spotted him fairly quickly, mingling with his co-stars, she heads over to him slowly, not trying to draw attention to herself. She offers smiles to people, saying hi to anyone who greeted her. When she reached her boyfriend, she taps him on the shoulder and he turns around. When he realises it's her, his face forms a huge grin and she steps beside him. 

"Hi guys! Congratulations!" They all smile back at her

"Thanks!" They all call out, the group chatter for a bit, including her which she's grateful for. Tonight she's just Joe's girlfriend, no one else and that's all she wants to be tonight. Eventually the group splits up, leaving just her and Joe in a corner. She smiles at him,

"Congratulations babe! The movie won 7 awards, you must be so happy!" He grins, pulling her into a hug.

"I am! I'm definitely feeling much more relaxed now that it's over. Plus, now my beautiful girlfriend is with me." She smiles, kissing his cheek quickly.

"I'm so glad, how was the event?" The two of them chatter for a while before branching out and mingling with other guests. She thoroughly enjoys the evening, happy she missed the Grammy's to come support her boyfriend. She really is so proud of him, this is his world and she's so happy he let her be a part of it tonight. 

--------------------

After a few hours of fun, Taylor and Joe are both tipsy on the drinks they've been consuming all night. Joe slips his hand into Taylor's, his hot breath tickling her neck and he leans towards her ear.

"Ready to get out of here?" He says against her ear, his arm around her waist. She looks up into his deep blue eyes, squeezing his hand gently. He leads her out of the party, they wait in the hall for her car to pull up. She knows the paps are outside, but honestly she's too drunk and happy to care that much. Despite this, she instinctively winces when she hears the first clicks of the camera's. Joe must've noticed because he grips her hand even tighter as they slide into the back of the car. The door gets shut behind them and Taylor rests her head on Joe's shoulder the whole way home, their hands still entwined. 

Once they get inside, Taylor kicks of her heels and goes to get some water. Filling both her and Joe a glass, they both drink them quickly. Taylor wraps her arms around her boyfriend, holding him close.

"I'm so proud of you babe. I know you were worried about tonight, but you did so well." His arms snake around her and he bury's his head in her neck.

"Thanks, and thanks for coming with me. I didn't even get the chance to ask you if you were worried about that." She feels a smile creep onto her face, god he cares about her so much and she loves him for it.

"I was a little, but it was nothing compared to the overwhelming excitement I had to see you and congratulate you. Thanks for inviting me into your world tonight, I love getting the opportunity to support you." She feels Joe's arms tighten around her,

"Of course, I love having you by my side. Also, thank you for the pep talk before I left, it genuinely did help and I really do appreciate it." 

"Anytime. You do it for me so much, of course I'm going to do it for you when you're feeling vulnerable, or sad, or angry or whatever it may be. Because I love you." Joe pulls his head away from her neck and Taylor looks up at him, their lips join and Joe kisses her deeply. Taylor feels so much love coming through his kiss, and she tries to pour as much of it as she can for him. When they seperate, Joe grins at her, tucking a piece of her disheveled hair behind her ear.

"I love you too." He says softly before their lips meet again, both of them showing each other as much love as they can.
