Taylor's Story
“Excuse me?” I nearly choked. I don’t think I heard her right.
She huffed, “You heard me, Harry is my boyfriend. If I were you, I’d back off.”
“Why would he date a slut like you?” I talk back. I never say things like this, but this Bitch is just rubbing me the wrong way. “Babies-R-Us called, they want you to return that shirt. I mean come on, why the fuck would you wear that?” She gasped.
“Oh please Sweetie, you think Harry likes you?” she inched closer to me, gritting her teeth. “I’m a model, a television star and the proud owner of a clothing brand. What are you? You’re just child’s play.”
She did not just say that. “You have five seconds to leave before my fist makes contact with your face.” Please leave, since I have no idea how to throw a punch.
“Lexington, who are you talking to?” I hear Taylor behind me. Thank God she’s here. “Oh, Kendall,” her voice sounds disgusted.
Kendall’s eyes widen, “What are you doing here?”
Taylor protectively wraps her arm around my neck, “Haven’t you heard? I’m about to hang out with Harry’s new girlfriend.”
“Why on Earth would you want to be friends with that?” she shivered.
I felt my teeth clench together, “Watch it.”
Taylor’s arm held me tighter to her, “Because unlike you, Kendall, I know how to grow up and move on.”
“I won him over once, and I’ll do it again,” Kendall crossed her arms and moved her neck in circles.
“Is there something wrong with your neck?” I pointed to it. “You should really get that checked out. I think you have the case of Desperate Whore.” Taylor gasped, but quickly giggled afterwards.
Kendall let out a squealing growl and stomped her foot on the ground. The stupid Bitch broke her heel doing that little dance. “Uhg, this isn’t over!” she yanked off her heels and stormed off.
I sighed and slammed the door shut. She finally left. Thank God I didn’t have to fight her. Usually in fights, I’m the one who just sits there and takes it since I can’t fight shit. It’s Ryann who does the ass-kicking. I sat down on the couch and growled into my hands, but my growl soon turned to a laugh.
“What’s so funny?” I looked up at the blonde to see a grin plastered on her face.
“She came here to scare me, but she only wound up looking incredibly stupid. The worst part was that I was about to be the one who looked like a fool.”
Taylor sighed, “Don’t fight her.”
“How’d you know what I was going to do?”
She sat down next to me and played with her thumbs, “Because I almost made the same mistake when I was with Harry. I was lucky he intervened.”
“What happened?” I know I didn’t want to hear how they broke up before, but now that I faced that walking time bomb, I want to know. I need to know what I’m dealing with.
Taylor patted my leg, “Why don’t I tell you a little later?”
I nodded my head in agreement, “Okay.”
“What do you want to do first? Shop or eat?”
“Ooo, two of my favorite things,” I said looking up at the ceiling, making her laugh. “Let’s shop first.”
“Shopping it is. Let’s go.”
I had told Taylor that my parents didn’t want anyone buying me anything, so we decided to shop at affordable clothing stores. This meant we had to walk down the streets of London, in full view of people, and I was okay with it. In fact, I’m excited to be spotted with Taylor. Could you imagine if I had to hang out with Kendall? God, I wouldn’t even be able to fake a smile.
“What about this shop?” Taylor pointed to a building.
“That’s a clothing store?” my mouth dropped open. We stood before what appeared to be a hotel, but it was really a store called ‘Lillywhites’.
She giggled, “I’ve never been here before, but it looks like one.”
“No it doesn’t,” I chuckled. “You say clothing store, I say mansion.”
She rolled her eyes and grabbed my arm, “Come on, let’s go in.”
As we made our way in, I couldn’t believe my eyes. This place wasn’t just a clothing store. “Taylor, this is a sports store.”
“So?” she shrugged. “You never know. You may find something you like here.”
“Would you buy something here?” I raised my eyebrow.
“I think we should get matching snapbacks as a joke,” she snickered behind her hand. “I just want to see what people will say about that.”
I began cracking up. “Works for me,” I finally managed to say.
Each section in the store was separated by sports and items. So organized. We scanned through the area filled with snapbacks and sports socks. I was joking around with Taylor, telling her to get the hat that said, ‘TaylorMade’ on it. I guess it’s a company? A brand? I’m not sure what it is but I thought it’d be hilarious if Taylor got it. We even joked about getting the hat that said, ‘Playboy’ on it, but of course that wouldn’t be approved by the media. Curse you public.
The hat we actually wound up settling on was on clearance for 3.50 Euro and was originally priced at 11.99 Euro. Good deal right? It’s a white hat with a black peak backing. The black looks like a net, sort of? I think the snapback is called a peak cap. On the white part is a flag that’s half of England’s flag and half of America’s flag with ‘EVERLAST BRONX, NYC SINCE 1910’ in black lettering over it. The hats were so cute that we wore them around the store, and of course we wore them backwards. That’s how you should always wear those hats, just my opinion. What I love about the cap is that it holds my hair out of my face but since the back of the hat is see-through, you can still tell I have hair there.
We actually wound up finding a couple of other cute things that were on clearance. For example, I got a denim shirt for 13.49 Euro and it was originally 49.99 Euro. That’s a damn great deal there! I also got Harry a sweater. It was originally 25 Euro but I got it for 12.50 Euro. Believe it or not, his sweater was the best deal I got. The sweater is all black with white letter that says, ‘DON’T KILL MY VIBE’. I figured that fits his personality perfectly. It also looks really comfy; I’m gonna have to borrow that sometime(s).
Taylor got a few things as well, but I didn’t really pay attention to what they were because I was excited about my stuff. We walked out of the store with our heads held high and our arms locked together. I literally could feel eyes staring at us since we walked into the store. Is it weird that I’m excited to see myself on tv tonight? I’m sure I’m going to be on the news or something. Is it bad to check? I’m obviously new at this.
After our little shopping spree, we took a taxi to a restaurant called, ‘Table Café’. It’s a cute little restaurant that has pull-out benches under the tables. Plus, they have very delicious food. Since I haven’t eaten anything yet today, I ordered Eggs Benedict which comes with charred bacon, yum. I also got a Morning Glory smoothie which has mango, pineapple and lime in it. Taylor got a Table Ranch Burger with Bacon Salt Fries and a beer. I’ve never met another girl who eats like Ryann. This is hilarious.
“You’re such a guy,” I chuckled as I watched her chug some of her beer. Her lips just curved into a smile as she took a couple more sips. “So are you just hanging out with me because management told you to or do you actually like hanging out with me?” I felt myself smirk at her.
“Is that a rhetorical question, Boo?” she tilted her head to the side, setting the bottle back onto the table.
I giggled, “Boo?”
“Yeah, I’m calling you Boo now. You can give me a name too.”
“Tay Tay?” I suggested.
She gags, “Ew no, Harry called me that.”
“Awkward,” I curled my lips before slurping my smoothie. “Blue?”
“Why Blue?” she shakes her head.
“Cause that’s the color of your eyes,” my statement sounds more like a question.
She chuckles, “You’re horrible with nicknames.”
“Says the girl who calls me ‘Boo!’” I laughed.
“Taylor Swift?” a little red headed girl walks up to us, followed by a younger blonde boy.
“Hi,” Taylor grins at the kids.
The girl rocks back and forth, “Can we take a picture with you?”
Taylor nods, “Of course.”
“Are you Harry Styles’ girlfriend?” the boy asks me with a shocked expression.
I bit my lip and looked at Taylor. Someone recognizes me. She just nodded her head towards the kids. “Yes,” I finally answered the boy.
“Will you get in the picture too?” the girl grins from ear to ear. I nodded in response. The girl waved to her dad who walked over and took our picture for us.
“Do you mind if I take a picture with them and post it?” I asked their father after the photo shoot was over.
He shook his head, “Not at all. Can I ask why?”
“They’re the first to take a picture with me,” I smiled at the kids as I spoke to him. He just gestured me to go ahead. I pulled out my phone and asked them, “Funny or nice picture?”
The boy giggled, “Funny.”
“Okay, then you have to make the funniest face you can make,” I instructed them and they just laughed. When I looked at the picture we took, I saw that the boy had crossed his eyes and the girl stuck her tongue out. Those are the funniest faces kids can make. What did I do? I looked like I was screaming in the picture.
When the family walked away I quickly became concentrated, “Okay, you have to help me.”
Taylor’s face had confusion written all over it, “With what?”
“Help me make a Twitter,” I suddenly felt embarrassed. I have a YouTube channel and an Instagram, but that’s it. I’m not normal, I suppose.
Taylor shook her head with a smile, “Here, give me your phone.” I did as I was told. “What would you like your name to be?” she asked as she scrolled the app store on my phone.
“What? Can’t it just be @LexingtonReed ?”
“It can be whatever you want it to be,” she stated, now downloading Twitter to my phone.
“Well you didn’t have to make it so complicated,” I joked.
She waved her hand, “Oh hush, you sound like Harry.”
“You make it sound like that’s a bad thing,” I shrugged and took another sip of my delicious smoothie.
She bit her lip, “Do you still want to know what happened?” It almost seems like she wants to tell me about it. Maybe Selena Gomez is the only person she’s ever really told. I mean, she obviously told the world they broke up over song, but she didn’t exactly go into detail about it.
I let out a deep sigh, “I do, but first answer me this: Will it change my opinion on Harry?”
She shook her head, “Depends on if you let it. Just don’t let it.”
“Okay,” I nodded. She was sort of scaring me, but I was still curious. “Go ahead.”
She set down my phone and rested her head onto her hands, “I always thought we were perfect together. Well besides the fact that I know I took his jokes too literal. Still do,” she half smiled. “I fell head over heels for him and one day it just felt right to say those three words to him. He told me he didn’t feel the same, Lexie.”
“I’m sorry,” I sympathized her, rubbing one of her arms.
“That’s not even the worst part. The next day, I went to his house to try and patch things up. Like, ask him if we could still try and see if he’ll ever get there,” she clarified. “And I walked in on him and Miss Fucking Barbie Doll.” My eyes widened. “He was having sex with Kendall and we weren’t even exactly broken up yet.”
I stared down at the table, hands pressed to my head. I can’t believe Harry would do something like that. What happens when I fall in love with him? What if he does that to me?
Taylor removed my hands from my head and held them in hers. “But Lexie, you can’t let what he did to me get to you. He hasn’t done anything to deserve losing your trust.” Besides stealing my phone. “I know I keep telling you this, but you’re different. I see it in his eyes, the way he looks at you. He never looked at me like that.”
I swallowed, “Are you sure?”
“Positive,” she waved our hands up and down. “Just trust me on this. He wouldn’t do that to you.”
“Can I ask you one more question?” She nodded. “How did you get over it?”
She released my hands and brought her finger to her chin, “I don’t know really. He apologized to me a million times, but I still hated him. Yet, I still loved him. He still infuriates me at times, but he’s Harry. I can’t stay mad at him, no matter how hard I try.”
I smiled, “I know the feeling. I mean, about not being able to stay mad at him.”
“It’s impossible isn’t it?” she laughed to which I laughed with her. “Now, let’s make you that Twitter.”
We set up my Twitter account to which I tweeted the picture on; the captioning was, ‘My first picture with two of Harry’s fans! Aren’t they cute?’ Next, Taylor and I took a selfie of us wearing our snapbacks for my profile picture. I absolutely adore the picture, and yes, we took a funny one. I wouldn’t be me without being silly. Then, I found myself texting Harry:
To: My Whore <3
Be my first follower on Twitter @LexingtonReed
So I call him ‘My Whore <3’. He is a whore. Even he can’t deny that.
“If you hurry now, you can beat Harry to following me first,” I challenged Taylor.
“It’s on,” she became concentrated on her phone. Suddenly a notification popped up on my phone:
*@taylorswift13 follows you*
I grinned, “You beat him.”
“Yes,” she began dancing in her seat.
*@Harry_Styles follows you*
I laughed to myself, “A little late on that Harry.”
“Hold on, I’m going to be the first to tweet about you too.” She began typing on her phone.
Taylor Swift @taylorswift13:
First to follow @Harry_Styles new girlfriend @LexingtonReed
I giggled, but got interrupted by another notification:
Harry Styles @Harry_Styles:
My girl finally grew some balls and got herself a twitter. Go follow her @LexingtonReed
My notifications began blowing up all the sudden. Well, that was fast. Gee thanks, Harry. Well, half of them are Taylor’s fans too. So thank you Taylor as well.
“Here, there’s a way to turn the notifications off,” she grabbed my phone and changed that setting.
“Thanks,” I nodded as I took my phone back. “Let me tweet something real fast and we can go. Can I tell him he should get a pair of balls too?”
Taylor laughed, “Not a good idea. Just tell him that when you see him.”
“Okay,” I giggled.
Lexington Reed @LexingtonReed:
@taylorswift13 is my biggest fan. Sorry @Harry_Styles but you lost that contest :p
Then I followed both of them. “Okay I’m good,” I chuckled a little as I stood up. “Let’s go.”
Taylor and I got to my hotel and decided to have a little sleepover. I let her borrow some of my pajamas and then we went downstairs and asked for some ice cream. Of course, they didn’t have any. How do you not have ice cream? They offered popcorn but I wasn’t in the mood for anything greasy. I wound up spotting cans of peaches in their kitchen and asked if we could have those. Canned peaches are bomb. So Taylor and I have been sitting in my room eating peaches and talking about random things: from cheese to our love for guys in suspenders. Like I said, random.
Knock knock! A knock sounded at my door, obviously.
“Can you hold this for a second?” I handed Taylor my can of peaches. I didn’t really give her much of a choice, I just made it sound like I did. Anyways, I walked over to the door and opened it to find 1D and Ryann standing in my doorway.
Louis practically pushed me out of the way, “We have to check the telly!” The tv is more important than me?
Harry chuckled, “Don’t be a Dick, Lou.” He stepped towards me, allowing the others to walk inside. “How was your day with Taylor?”
“Fun, we got matching hats,” I chuckled. “She’s still here.”
“Oh, are we interrupting?”
“No, you’re fine,” Taylor walked in and handed me my peaches.
Harry raised his brows and pointed to the can, “Peaches?”
I whined, “They didn’t have ice cream.”
“Oh ice cream sounds good,” Niall hummed, making me giggle.
“Go get me some then,” I told him.
He scoffed, “Hell no. We’re about to watch you on television, we can’t miss this.”
Oh, so that’s what’s so important that I needed to be pushed for.
“Come sit,” Ryann held out her arms for me. I happily walked over and leaned my head onto her shoulder. Taylor walked over and sat at the other side of me, happily eating her peaches. Niall was on the floor with us, laying in front of the tv like a little kid. The rest of the boys sat on the couch. Louis was channel surfing until something in particular caught his eyes. Me.
My Twitter profile picture was on the screen. “Lexington Reed was spotted in London, England with the famous Taylor Swift.”
“Just to clarify guys, she’s famous,” I announced, jokingly. Stupid people these days. I received chuckles from everyone. Wow, there’s so many people in my hotel room. Oh, right, back to tv.
The reporter showed up on the screen, “They were seen at 'Lillywhites' and 'Table Cafe'. It seems Taylor has taken a liking to this girl. This is after Lexington was spotted with Harry Styles at Louis’s party.” A picture of Harry and I from outside the party showed up and we were making the stupidest faces.
Liam chuckled, “Fucking Wanker.”
“What?" I chuckled.
“Idiot,” Taylor filled me in. Well, I learned something new.
“Ashley Benson and Dylan O’Brien even filled us in on a little information,” the woman continued.
Ashley’s face appeared on the screen, “Oh she’s definitely dating Harry. If not, they will be soon. You could just feel their chemistry.”
I hid my face and blushed. I heard Harry chuckle and felt his hand lightly massage my shoulder.
Dylan suddenly replaced Ashely’s face on the screen, “Woo! What a kiss! Oh yeah, Harry’s one lucky guy.”
I gasped and giggled in shock of what I just heard.
“That kiss was a little heated,” Niall said cheekily.
“Shut up Niall,” Harry was now the one blushing.
“Harrington began trending on Twitter soon after Harry himself, announced Lexington as his girl,” the woman with the microphone appeared again. “It is also known that Lexington has a YouTube and has indeed been spending time with One Direction.”
One Direction, Ryann, and I popped on the screen in a familiar video:
I started, “Anyways, today we’re doing-“
I was rudely interrupted by Harry, “ASK REED!”
“Bloody hell, you’re loud,” Louis covered his ears.
“I have a feeling this video is going to take hours,” I rested my elbows on Harry’s head before resting my chin onto my hands.
All of us began busting out into laughter at this. This is how we always seem to act. Taylor hadn’t even seen the videos, so she’s on the verge of crying from laughing so hard.
The woman came back on screen and finished by saying, “It appears we’ll be seeing a lot of Lexington.”
“WOO!” Louis clapped.
Zayn chuckled, “Shut up you Knob.”
“Dick?” I guessed what 'Knob' meant.
Taylor nodded, “Yes.”
Liam turned off the tv, “So what should we do now?”
“Well, it’s late so why don’t you all just crash here?” I suggested before taking a bite of my peaches.
“And sleep where? In case you hadn’t noticed, there’s eight of us, one couch and one bed,” Niall pointed out the obvious. There’s a lot of that going on lately, pointing out the obvious.
“I have a plan,” I wiggled my fingers evilly, can still in my hand.
Zayn chuckled, “Whatcha doing there?”
“Shut up Zayn,” I laughed. “Anyways, let’s build ourselves a fort. Of course, that’s going to require destroying this place.”
“I’m in,” Niall jumped up and ran to the couch. “Well, get up guys!”
All the boys got up and began pulling the cushions off the couch.
“Ryann, we’re going to need your couch cushions too,” I instructed her.
“Got it,” she nodded and took Zayn with her to her room.
Harry pointed to my bedroom, “Why don’t we put yours and Ryann’s mattresses together?” Then he pointed to my peaches, asking for some.
I shrugged and fed him a peach, “If you want to do that, be my guest.”
The fort consisted of so much furniture: couch cushions, mattresses, pillows, bed sheets, chairs, the couches, drapes, and end tables. The couches, chairs and end tables were to hold the drapes over us, which are held down by hair ties and bobby pins. Everything else, we used inside the fort. We pretty much had no choice but to sleep in the fort since all of the furniture was used on it. We’re lucky this suite is big.
We played around for an hour, telling stupid ghost stories, playing truth or dare, and dancing to our own singing. But we finally all managed to lay ourselves in the fort. I had to press myself as close to Harry as I could get to give everyone more room. Niall did the same with Ryann, spooning her. So cute. That gave everyone enough room to fall into a nice, deep sleep.
Taylor's POV:
As I lay there, I glanced over at Harry and Lexington. I watched as she snuggled as close as she could to him, with him smiling to her touch. I envy her, really, but she's an amazing person with this big heart. She's exactly what Harry needs. I neglected to tell her Harry is scared to fall in love, and that's why he cheated on me. Cause you know, sleeping with someone will help (sarcasm, just saying). If I would've told her that, I feel like she would've walked out then and there. She's looking for that forever, I can tell, and I know it's possible that's what he is. I feel like she can help him with what I failed at. She can break down his barriers. In the end, I think they're perfect together. Let's just pray I'm right, and Harry won't break that big heart of her's.
Notes
So I changed this from PG-13 to Rated R because I was like, "You know what? Fuck it, I'm going to cuss." So that is why it's changed. The sex scenes are going to stay mild, I just might say penis and vagina now. I just feel more at peace this way. I'm weird, I know. Anyways, anything in my previous chapters that have Asterisks, these things --> ***, just ignore them and pretend I cussed haha. I'll fix them eventually.
Um so I know I described the hat Taylor and Lex bought, but I feel like my description didn't make any sense. So here:
Also, in my chapter "Louis's Birthday - Part 2" I made a boo-boo and said there was some famous person named Daisy Holden there. Um, there is no famous Daisy Holden that I know of. I don't even know if I was half asleep or something, but I'm sorry for those of you who were probably thinking, "Who the fuck is that?" The only reason I even noticed this was because I went back to read who I said was there to use for this chapter. Now I feel stupid. Haha oops.
Anyways, please rate and subscribe if you haven't already. Also please leave a comment, even if it's random. I just like to know you're reading this. Thanks, love you guys <3
Question Time (more like opinion time):
Opinions on Kendall?
