Jaylor One Shots

Paris

Taylor and Joe had flown into Paris earlier that morning and were currently unpacking their stuff quickly so they could make the most of their day before Taylor's performance this evening. Joe finished before she did so he sneaks up behind her, wrapping his arms around her waist and kissing her neck.

"Mm Joe." She moans slightly, turning in his arms to face him. Joe watches her face light up into a grin before he leans down to kiss her softly. Her eyes seem slightly tired from the long flight but her enthusiasm is seeming to make up for any exhaustion she might be feeling. When they pull back from their kiss, Taylor's eyes shine with excitement as she entwines their hands and begins tugging him out the door. 

They meet Taylor's security guard on the way out, Joe giving him a polite nod. It'd been something he'd had to get used to, having constant surveillance around them all the time, but something he was pretty grateful for now - he can always be certain that she's safe, something that's so incredibly important to him, especially with the very public nature that her job holds. The couple walk towards the car, her hand firmly in his before sliding into the backseat. They make casual conversation in the backseat of the car before Taylor begins pointing things out to him, quickly reminding Joe that she'd done loads of this stuff before and thus, planting the seed of doubt in his mind. What can I really give her that she doesn't already have? He quickly tries to shake the thought from his mind before going back to listening to Taylor explain about some really cute café that had the most incredible baked goods one could ever imagine. 

When the car pulls up to where they were headed for, Taylor grabs his hand firmly once more, leading him out of the car excitedly. Her smile was contagious and Joe found himself grinning, keen to see what she was so excited to show him. They walk down the street a bit, enjoying their rare opportunity to get out in public like this, the sun shining on both their faces, hands clasped firmly together with no plan of letting go any time soon. 

"Paris has always felt so magical to me" Taylor breathes out in awe, making Joe smile. He loves seeing her so happy like this, as close to carefree as her life gets he supposes. 

"Well it is the city of love!" His response is met with a light giggle and a hand squeeze,

"Indeed it is." The rest of the walk is continued mostly in silence, they never tend to talk too much while they're out in public, unsure of who might be listening but their hands are entwined and that's enough for the both of them, no words really need to be said. That is, until Taylor stops them both,

"Here it is!" She gasps, Joe looks ahead of him, trying to figure out exactly where 'here' is. 

"This is where I shot scenes for the Begin Again music video 7 years ago! It's just like I remembered it!" Joe looks over at her and smiles gently, 

"I can't believe it's been 7 years!" She murmurs, continuing to walk forward but Joe stops her.

"Well, we've got to capture this incredible moment then! Sit down there, I'll take a picture." He asserts, knowing she'd love to have this memory in the years to come. Taylor lets go of his hand, before sitting down exactly where he'd told her to. He snaps a few adorable pictures before she gets back up, entwining her fingers with his and continuing to lead him around on a short walk to another place she'd shot that video. He once again, shoots a few more pictures of her. Joe puts his phone back into his pocket before looking around quickly, noticing that Taylor seems deep in thought as she looks around. Joe can't help but wonder if she's reminiscing on the love she wrote the song about, or on all her past experiences Joe had never been a part of. And once again, the doubt it back in his mind. She's lived such an incredible life, he knows that. She's been travelling all around the world for her high profile job on private jets for over a decade and had had other loves too. Joe's finding himself feeling insecure that he doesn't quite bring any of this to the table, that he can't provide exquisite of glamorous new experiences for her. Even though they're here together, it's only because she brought him here.
