Taylor’s POV

I first met Karlie at the Victoria Secret’s annual runway show, just when I thought I was never ever gonna love anyone again. That girl was funny as hell. She made me laugh like I’d never been hurt before. We were talking like we’d known each other for a long time. Performing with her on the runway was such a pleasure. Watching her striking in that wonderful body on the runway, it suddenly made me feel alive again. Goddamn. What was wrong with me? I couldn’t take my eyes off of her. I was in love again, in such an unexpected time, with such an unexpected person.

Karlie. What a beautiful name...

Karlie...

Karlie...

" What are you thinking?" , she smiled. Did she realize how beautiful she looked when she smiled?

"Flashback to our Victoria show. I was just thinking...what if I turned the offer down? What if we had never met?"

"There’s no “what if” baby", she said gently, putting her arms around my hip," If we were meant to be, we would meet eventually"

How could I not love her?

 "Is it a quotation? Or did you just make that line up?", I laughed. She was still holding me, so close that I can even feel her breath

"I’m Taylor Alison Swift’s lover. What are you expecting? Now stop talking. We only have a few minutes left."

She was right. We didn’t have much time for each other. We were stuck in our own schedules, personal lives, and yeah, fake lovers. What would it be if the whole world knew we were dating? It would destroy our careers, undoubtedly. Sometimes I wished I was strong enough to let it all go, to follow my heart. But I couldn’t. I had spent 8 years working so hard to get to where I am right now. I couldn’t let it all go. Nobody could change my mind about it. But Karlie...

I looked at Karlie. She was still holding me in silence, both eyes closed. She looked like a little bird trying to find a shelter. How could I let her go?

She was so special, irreplaceable.

“Losing him was blue like I’ve never known”

But losing her was like losing a part of myself.

Karlie’s POV

What was wrong with Taylor today? She seemed so depressed. I hadn’t seen her like that since she opened up with me about her past break-ups. Why didn’t those guys appreciate her? I couldn’t imagine leaving Taylor behind. It was like stepping on a kitten. She was like a kitten. Pretty and wise, but fragile like a glass of wine.

I looked at our polaroids and smiled. Victoria’s Secret – the runway show that changed our destiny. Running into her was the luckiest thing in my life.

"Karlie. 5 minutes and we’re leaving", said Josh.

"Okay sweetheart. Wait a minute. I’m changing!", I tried so hard not to reveal my unstable mood, especially to him – my current boyfriend

Josh was my boyfriend.

But I didn’t love him.

While I should.

I should have been like any other women in the world. Marry a man. Have kids.  Living the way people wanted me too. Oh Taylor, why did I have to meet you? Was God trying to play a game on me? Josh was a nice guy who loved me unconditionally. I shouldn’t be cheating on him.

I shouldn’t....

"C’mon honey! We're already late!" 

I wiped my tears. Put on more make-up to cover those wet mascara.

"I’m coming!"

Did he hear my voice shaking?
