Selena dragged Taylor towards the door and closed it very quickly behind her.
A very startled Taylor turned to Selena with a furrowed brow.
Selena took out lipstick and eyeliner out of her bag and started doing Taylors makeup while talking hastily. "Taylor, Taylor, there's a cute guy out there who kept staring at you the entire time!" Taylor pushen Selenas hand away and replied: "I told you, I'm not looking for anyone right now!" I need time for myself". Selena rolled her eyes: "Cut the crap! You know that that's bullshit, you're just saying that because of the media!"
Taylor just sighed and shook her head: "No Selly,  we're not going to talk about this again"
Taylor put her arms in front of her chest and huffed: "Okay, then let's go outside again. We can't miss to much of the MetGala, they'll ask where we are"

Taylor nodded and they linked their arms before walking out of the enormous bathroom and onto the runway.

They walked to their table and got a glass of champagne each.
The live performances have not started yet, but there was still music blasting through the speakers.
Selena held out her hand for Taylor to dance and they laughed while stumbling onto the dance floor.
The entire area was private so they could dance as awkawardly as they wanted to, but nobody would see it.

After dancing for a few minutes a tall, brown-haired guy walked by. Selena immediately went to tug at Taylors sleeve and pointed towards him.
"That's the guy I meant"
Taylor took a quick look at that guy and thought, that he didn't look too bad.

Having a boosted confidence due to the alcohol she walked up to him and started a small talk conversation until he asked her to dance and slowdanced without leaving place for Christ. He was an actor called Tom Hiddleston.
They were having a really good time and didn't even notice that noone else was dancing but almost everyone stared at them.
Only when Taylor looked up did she realize all these well-known people looking at her. Bit there was one person in particular, that she's actually never seen before staring at her occasionally.
His looks almost made her faint and she was so distracted that she didn't notice Tom was talking to her.
"Taylor... earth to Taylor" Taylor looked back at him and mumbled:" uhh.. Yeah, I'm here, mhh" Tom chuckled: "Well, who took your breath away like that?"
Taylor blushed furiously and tried to talk herself out of it: "I... I don't know what you're... what you're talking about!"
Tom shook his head: "No, it's okay, really. This wasn't going to work out anyway. But it was nice dancing with Taylor Swift" Taylor let out a breath of relief: "Okay. Let me down a shot of Whiskey and then I'm confident enough"

Tom laughed and hugged her while saying: "Good luck"
Taylor nodded and walked up to him.
The handsome guy who sat lonely at the bar turned around and smirked at her.
Taylor asked: "Excuse me, is this seat taken?"
The lad shook his head and took a sip of his drink. She immediately sat down and eyed him suspiciously: "I feel like I've seen you before, but I don't know where"
Joe chuckled and said: "I'm Joe Alwyn. An actor. Maybe you watched me in the movie "The Favorite", your friend Emma Stone stars in it and she talked about you occasionally"
Taylor blushed: "Only good things I hope?" Joe nodded. She added: "And yes, I did actually watch that. You were amazing in there!".
Now it was Joe's turn to blush: "What can I offer you to drink, Taylor?"
Taylor looked down at Joes glass and gasped: "Oh my god, you're drinking an old fashioned! I love those!" Joe gestured towards the bartender and he brought her one too. "People underestimate it. It's been so long since I've last seen someone order that"
"It's been my favorite drink since I turned 18." Joe chuckled. "Underage drinking? How naughty of you" Taylor said back in a fake shocked accent. 
Joe shook his head and said: "I'm from Britain, remember? Legal drinking age is 18!"

Taylor nodded and giggled. They continued nipping their drinks and talking about life. Both of them got more & more touchy and flirty until Taylor was notified that her limousine had arrive. She got up and looked at Joe: "This was... this was fun. We should definetely do that again sometime!"
Joe asked: "Yeah sure, may I have your phone number?"
Taylor blushed and jotted it down in his phone.
She hugged him goodbye, summoned a conpletely wasted Selena (they were going to ride together) and left the pretty art museum the gala was held at.

In the car Selena glanced at Taylor for a few seconds before saying: "Oh my gosh Taylor, you're smitten. Ain't I a perfect matchmaker?" She laughed loudly, before Taylor turned crimson red and tried to talk herself out of it.
