If Only She Knew|| Taylor Swift Story

7.

"you heard me" i was still in shock at this point
"you liked me?"
"mhm"  damn. andrea was right
"why did you say anything?"
"i thought it was obvious"
"i guess not, do you still like me?" i was taking a shot in the dark. i sounded like a teenage girl asking if her crush liked her back
"mhm"
"seriously?"
"yes"
I sat and tried to come up with a response but we just sat there is complete silence. she really liked me? wow
"i still like you too"  i said quietly, i hope she heard me because i didn't want to say it again
"i know, and i want something with you. i just need some time, to better myself. i mean i just found out i got cheated on with the man who i thought would be the one for me" she said as tears slowly fell, she rested her head on my shoulder, continuing to watch the tv
"i know tay, i'll wait for you. i've been waiting for almost 19 years" i said with a little laugh
"thank you" she said softly, i didn't say anything, instead i kissed the top of her head. we watched more greys until it was late and i decided i needed to head home. on the drive, i called scarlett, as soon as she answered i screamed, "holy fuck, chill out" whoops
"DUDE, travis fucking cheated on her and we were just sitting on her couch and she told me she's liked me since highschool" i said way to quickly for her to answer but she pieced together what I meant to say, "i told you" i knew for a fact she smirked as she said that, werido. "oh shit" she said on the other end of the line, "what?"
"rose made a huge mess, ugh, i gotta go, have fun with figureing out your feelings with each other" she said before she hung up, my phone dinged to indicate that i got a text, hm. when i stopped at the red light i checked my phone, it was from taylor

tay tay🌟
can you come stay the night? i don't want to be alone, please
                                             cami 💞
                     of course, let me just find a place to         turn around

I quickly found a vacant lot and turned my car around, heading back around to taylor's house. I'm really worried about her, all of her last boyfriend have been absolute dicks to her.
I made it to her house and security let me right in, i walked in and saw taylor in the same position i left her in. expect this time she was full on sobbing again. I picked her up and brought her to bed, after today, all she really needs is someone to be with her and some good sleep. and i was right, she passed out as soon as i placed her on her bed. I decided to lay down next to her, i placed a kiss on her for head and then i went to sleep

A few months later...

Taylor has been doing really good over the last few months, she's avoiding looking at articles spreading rumors about what happened between her and travis. overall i've seen an increase in her mood. We still havnt talked about us liking each other but I'd say i wait for her, and i would. i love her more than anything or anyone else. i cant lose her.
"wanna go to a bar tonight" taylor said casually as she scrolling through the movie section on nextflix
"um sure, when do you want to leave" i'm not gonna press her on why she wants to go all of a sudan,
"9?" it was 5 now so we had some time to eat and get ready.
"sounds good" i havnt been to bar since i called travis a bitch, i have no regrets. We watched a few movie before deciding to get up and get ready to go out. I was getting ready in her bathroom while she got ready in her room. She had let me borrow some going out attire and some makeup, "hey taylor do you have some mascara I could borrow" i said as i walked into her room, she didn't say anything, she just stared in aw at me. "you look so beautiful" she said so casually, i could already feel my checks heating up and turning hot red, "thank you" i said before she went digging in her drawers to find some mascara, "here you go" she said as she handed over her mascara. I finished getting ready and we needed out to the bar. When we arrived I immediately saw the karaoke machine and i had to go and do a song. Taylor ordered us some shots before returning to our little tabled tucked in the corner of the bar, "karaoke?" i asked, hopefully this time she won't decline
"of course" she reply's which automatically makes me smile. "i wanna go first" i said before skipping over to the machine and choosing my song, i went with "how you get the girl" mostly to make taylor annoyed. Everyone is the bar was cheering by the end of the song, i looked over at taylor and she had the biggest smile on her face. "did you enjoy it" i said with a smirk
"no, i actually really hated it" she said with some sarcasm in her voice
"my turn" she laughed before going over to the machine, she chose the song 'animals' by Neon Trees
She sung the first line of the song while looking directly at me

"Here we go again, I kinda want to be more than friends"

Was she ready for us to be more than friends?

" So take it easy on me, I'm afraid you're never satisfied"

She kept singing the song, not taking her eyes off of me, after she left me shocked, she walked back over to me, acting like she didn't just do that. She drives me crazy, and i wouldn't have it any other way. We keep ordering drinks, no one dared to talk about the song. maybe later? i wanted to be something with her but if she's not ready I won't push her. When she finished her drink she came and sat on my side of the booth, sliding in and placing her head on my shoulder.
"Do you want to go home?" i asked based on her tired mood
"mhm" she mumbled
"okay, let's go" i said as i stood up to help her out her coat on and walk out to the car. I opened the door for her and she slide into the back seat, i followed her actions right after. The driver started the route back to taylor's house, it was about a 15 min ride. We kinda of just sat in silence for a little bit, both of us tired from our long night out. I don't understand how we did it back in college, every night we were out until like 3 am. Taylor looked towards me and smiled, "I think im ready"
"for?" i was really hoping she was talking about what I think
"for us, a relationship."
"seriously?" i had the biggest smile on my face in the entire world "If you need more times that's okay, i said i would wait and I wil-"

"shut up and kiss my already cami"

I did what she said and I pulled her into a kiss, one that I have been waiting for since the 10th grade. I could practically feel the sparks going off as she deepened the kiss, she moved from her seat into the middle seat to give her better access. She placed her hand on my check and the other one of the back of my neck, we made out for a while before air started to become an issue and we pulled apart, "holy fuck" was all i could manage to say after that, my face was as red as a tomato. "good?" she asked
"better than good" if i could tell my 15 year old self i just made out with taylor, i would have laughed in my face and not believed it. But here we are
The driver knocked on the privacy window thing to tell us we had arrived at Taylor's house. Her security opened the door and unlocked her front door for us. Taylor walked in first, taking off her heels and her coat. I took off my heels and walked upstairs with her, "are you staying, do you need clothes to sleep in?" she asked, i could tell by her look that she wanted me to stay so i nodded my head and began to take off my makeup, once i was ready for bed I laid in taylor's bed, scrolling on my phone before she walked in the door and also laid down. She scooted closer to me, placing her head on my chest. I wrapped my arm around her waist and kissed the top of her head.
"what are we?" she questioned
"whatever you want us to be, we are taking it slow. Not rushing into things. If you want me to ask you to be my girlfriend right now I will but I planned to ask in a better way, not when we are half asleep, and still a little tipsy from all the shots" i replied to her question

"that sounds good" she agreed before settling in.

"i really like you Tay and I wouldn't do anything to hurt you"

"i know cami, don't worry"

The room was quiet before I could faintly her snores filling the room.
"night taylor tot" i giggled a little bit at the name before I quickly fell asleep, what a night
