invisible string

Chapter five

As the sun begin to rise, taylor was still awaken. She sat at her piano and started pressing some random chords, trying to get some ideas, but nothing seemed to work out. She grabbed her phone and started typing.

phone on:
Taylor: hey jack, how are you?
Jack: hey, zombie. What are you doing? Go to sleep, are you crazy?
Taylor: Why am i the zombie? You're also awake, weirdo 🙄
Jack: yeah but i'm in london, it's like 10am here.
Taylor: wait you're not in new york?
Jack: nop, i'm visiting some friends and doing some work stuff, nothing too special. But I'll be back in four days, then we can set that meeting we talked about yesterday. What are your ideas so far?
Taylor: Okay so this might sound a little risky, but I wanted to kinda change styles again?
Jack: yeah, you already told me about it...rock, right?  It really matches this bleachella vibe. Can i ask why's that? I mean, you're doing good with pop, aren't you?
Taylor: well yk i had my best time with 1989, but rn i just feel like everything i do sounds exactly like it...And that's not what i want, i want something different, something new. And I'm not feeling that mind blowing idea coming from pop rn. So yeah I started wondering if we could maybe do a rock album? Because i loved doing that waneegbt performance at the 1989 tour, and I really like listening to this type of music, so i thought it would be fun
Jack: we can work this out ig. But let's give some time before making a decision, okay? It's a valid point but don't need to rush. Maybe your pop inspiration will come soon. We'll discuss more in the meeting. Let me know if you find something interesting 😉
Taylor: sure 😸 talk to you soon, gonna try to get some sleep

The blond set her phone down and started walking towards the kitchen. As she grabbed some water, one fluffy white ball got closer and lay down at the blondie's feet.

-Hey dibbles, what's up - she grabbed the cat after drinking the cold water - what are we doing today?  - she said and got a cute meaw back, which was enough for her to start talking with the cat - yeah i guess we can walk a little bit at the park, it would be fun wouldn't it? Oh, i know meredith don't like walks, we don't have to bring her, she's very grumpy sometimes. But before that we need some sleep, right. Yeah. Let's get some sleep.

Taylor tangled herself in the bed sheets and slept like a newborn. It was cozy and she was tired, which lead to her not hearing her alarm.

When she finally woke up was already 12:40pm. Her phone had tons of notifications, which she ignored. But one of them caught her attention: it was tom.

"Hey... the date is still on, right? Already have my Chewbacca costume, don't let me down!"

-Fuck. The date. Fuck fuck fuck - she ran into the bathroom and quickly got into the shower. Washed her hair, brushed her teeth, put on some makeup and dressed up as Chewbacca. All that in less than 20 minutes, which was a lot for someone that usually took around 1 hours and a half (or more) to get ready.

"Yup. see you there. Don't leave me waiting!" Taylor texted him back and grabbed her purse. There were tons of paparazzi in front of her house, as usual. But she couldn't just go out like that. I mean, they would definitely suspect something was happening if she got outside with a Chewbacca costume. So she headed into the back door.

She entered some random taxi after closing the door, smiling behind the big mask.

-Why are you dressed like that? Do you work in parties or something? - the brown haired woman who was driving the car asked with arched eyebrows and a very polite tone.
-Hm, no. Not really... just gonna go watch some star wars, you know, normal people stuff.
-Oh, i see. You don't need to use it here though, you know. The mask... isn't it too hot?
-Oh, no. I'm fine, but thanks for the suggestion
-Your voice sounds really familiar, that's weird. - the taxi driver laughed - oh, yeah, it reminds me of my aunt dorothea. Now i see.
-Dorothea? That's a pretty name... - taylor sighed after the woman said that, knowing the chances of her being caught by someone recognizing her voice were pretty high.
-It is! And she was genuinely a nice person. She actually has a interesting history. My mom always says that she headed into new york and left our small city behind, they didn't have any contact for months. I mean, only for letters and stuff. It was good for the family, she cultivated dreams in all of us. That having a life in a big city was possible for anyone, even for a farm family who just knew how to ride a horse. - taylor giggled and was focused on every word the woman said - So, my mom still lives there, she likes the small city environment. But as you can see i decided to move to new york, just like my aunt. The difference is that she used to sell makeup, i drive a taxi. But we both wanted to do the same thing, be a fashion designer. At her prom she designed hers and my mom's dress. It was simply stunning, they looked like goddess, i wish i could show you a picture but I don't have any right now. Then, after they left the house, they just skipped prom to piss their mom's off and spent hours chatting on the flower field, lying down, looking at the stars. I wish i was there, every time they tell me this story i DIE, it seems so aesthetically satisfying. Just like a movie... oh, I didn't even said my name. Hi, I'm Inez.
-Hi inez, i'm glad i got to meet you - taylor said, still smiling, wanting to hear more about the story. - you said you wanted to be a fashion designer, right?
-Pretty much, yeah - the girl smiled.
-I think i can help you with that. I really liked your story, thanks for sharing. It's just... incredible, i could totally write a song about that - she said while the girl parked the car, showing that they reached their destination.
-Oh, you're a songwriter? That's so cool!
-Yeah, something like that - the blond got some money and a paper from her purse. She wrote some address down and gave it to the woman sitting on the front seat - I really think i can help you with this fashion stuff, i have plenty of contact with the people on the industry. And I really liked the way you talked while telling that story, you're a very interesting person, Inez. If it's not a problems to you i would really appreciate if you showed up to this address tomorrow afternoon. And bring your portfolio!
-I'm sorry, how can i know you're not gonna kidnap me or something?
-Okay, fair - taylor nodded her head and took the mask off, looking into the woman's eyes - my name is taylor swift...
-HOLY CRAP I- YOU- MY CAR- GIRL WHAT THE FUCK
-STOP SCREAMING PEOPLE WILL LOOK! - she said and put the mask back.
-No fucking way i just told a boring story to taylor swift ooooh noooo. I'm so sorry for bothering you, I-
-What are you talking about girl? I loved your story, stop with this! Will i see you tomorrow?
-OF COURSE WHAT DO YOU THINK THAT I WILL REJECT QUEEN TAYLOR MUSIC INDUSTRY SWIFT?? I'll get there even if i have to die on the way.
-You're funny - taylor giggled - and please, can you nor tell anyone about this? I would feel honored if you kept it to yourself until then.
-even if i told someone, I don't think they would believe that i just gave taylor swift, who was wearing a Chewbacca costume, a drive. This is a safe space, don't worry.
