Livre: One Shots

[43] I would waste my time

Here is an idea that I had in my head for a bit. I hope you like it. Lots and lots of fluff. :)

When Taylor came downstairs after her shower, she found Karlie sitting on the couch and working on her tablet incredibly seriously.

"It's a Sunday babe. You know the rule, no work on the weekends. You shouldn't be working on anything right now," She said, sitting down next to her. She tried to take away her tablet, but Karlie noticed her intentions just soon enough to hold it out of her reach.

"Hey, this is important!" She exclaimed, moving to the other end of the couch, so Taylor couldn't even get anywhere close to her tablet even if she tried. "If you want to help, grab your tablet or take my back up tablet and join me."

Taylor lifted her eyebrows. "Since when can I help you with your line of work? Not including eating your Kookies."

"Hm?" She asked without looking up. Whatever she was doing there seemed to need all her focus.

"Okay okay, what are you doing there?" Taylor laughed and crawled to her side of the couch, pulling her girlfriend into her lap so she could look at the screen over Karlie when she rested her chin on her shoulder. "Hollywood's Top Couple?"

"Yes," Karlie answered while voting nonstop for always the same pairing. "It's simple. It's kinda like a bracket style system so when you advance you go to the next round. There are always two couples against each other. You click on your favorite pairing and vote. Well, you can do that for every of the duels, but since you probably don't want to vote for anyone else, it's enough if you choose this one."

She pointed to her tablet and the two names she chose with every click. Taylor just rolled her eyes, "Karlie, I am not voting got us to win 'Hollywood's Top Couple' that's like the dumbest contest, fan-voting thing I have ever seen. And I've been in this industry a long time."

"Really the dumbest fan voting poll? Even worse than Capital FMs 'Best Feud'? Which I might remind you helped you sell more 'Reputation' albums in the U.K.?"

"Touché."

"So what is the fun in that?" Taylor asked, almost shying at the short glance Karlie directed at her before focusing on her tablet again.

"The fun? The fun? Well, firstly, you know that you're not the only one that is up for 'Hollywood's Top Couple'. We can beat out some of the shitty people like Kimye which I will always count as a major victory. Secondly, the winning pairing will be interviewed together and a photo shoot Taylor!"

"We can literally pay someone for a photo shoot."

"It'll be like the Vogue shoot again! Do you remember how fun that one was?"

"And how it made the fans explode and then we had to go into hiding for years. Yeah, I remember that very fondly." Taylor responded drily.

"You're taking the fun out of it again babe. Besides, most importantly it's the bragging rights of being the 'Top Couple'."

"So out of you and I who is the 'top' in the title. You know that the fans are going to make a million jokes and posts about that."

"They can joke about whatever they want."

Taylor looked at her in amusement. "Okay, so why don't you just tweet to the fans to like hack the system and overload it with votes?"

"Because that wouldn't be as fun or as fair," She mumbled before pumping her first in the air. "Great! We're doing so good baby! We just teamed up together with the Kutcher-Kunis fans. So we vote for them, they vote for us."

"What if your couples will have to fight against each other in the next voting round? Like what if we go against... Blake and Ryan! We can't do that! We love hanging out with them and if we beat them they'll never invite us over for dinner or drinks again."

"They're on the other side of the bracket Taylor. We don't have to worry about them for another 6 days or so." Karlie shrugged. "Anyways you're over complicating it. We just need to get through this round first. And I still don't see you voting on my back up tablet."

"Who else is in the bracket? Anyone else we want to sabotage and never have dinner with again?"

"There's a ton of people. The Obama's, the Beckham's, Beyoncé and Jay-Z, Chrissy and John, Emily and John... wow there's a lot of John's in these."

"I think I will just go start some dinner, so I can leave you with your super important work here."

Slowly, way too slowly Karlie raised her head and looked at Taylor severely and Taylor was shocked by the severity of the glare that met her.

"Taylor, do you ever want to have sex again?" she asked.

"What are you blackmailing me now?" She laughed only half amusedly since she was sure Karlie would do this. "Honey you and I both know that you would break that resolution as soon as it had begun."

"No I'm not blackmailing you," Karlie said with a smirk. "I'm just saying you have two options here. You can refuse to help me and risk that I will be in a very bad mood these next few days, so I probably won't feel like having sex, or you could grab my tablet, cuddle with me while voting simultaneously and be rewarded for being a super supportive girlfriend with super hot sex with me tonight."

Taylor nodded. "Where do you keep your back up tablet again?"

"In my nightstand," Karlie smiled.

"I'll be back in a second," Taylor assured, kissing her on the lips shortly before hurrying upstairs to get the tablet.

Soon Taylor joined her again on the couch, "So when are the interviews and photo shoot if we win this whole thing?"

"I don't really know."

"What!?" Karlie jumped at how loud Taylor exploded. "Are you serious? You're dragging me into voting but you don't know when the actual prizes happen?"

"It's all about the title."

"Okay, there I voted." Taylor said before tossing the iPad next to her on the couch. "I'm going and starting dinner and then were going to have amazing 'super' sex because I am a 'super' amazing girlfriend. Or whatever you said earlier."

"Nuh uh. Not so fast babe. You have 20 votes per day and you only voted once. So you have 19 left."

"I'm not voting and going through that whole process another 19 times Kar."

"If you don't no sex." Karlie reminded her.

Taylor rolled her eyes before picking up the tablet once more, "What is the point of having 20 votes if you use them all on the same couple?"

"You're probably supposed to spread them out."

"You are absolutely ridiculous sometimes."

They sat on the couch. Taylor laying over Karlie's legs as they both typed and reloaded their tablets for the next few minutes before Karlie finally deemed Taylor's voting efforts acceptable and Taylor wanted into the kitchen to start cooking. After a simple dinner, Karlie delivered on her promise and Taylor figured that she should vote in those stupid fan polls more often.

Fin.
