Invisible String

76

I grab the microphone and stand up, making my way closer to the dance floor. I point towards Alex and Nat as they sway slowly.

Ladies and gentlemen, will you please stand?
With every guitar string scar on my hand
I take this magnetic force of a woman to be my lover

"I'm going to ask her to marry me." Nat says and my jaw drops.

"Really? Like really?" I ask.

"Really. I'm ready, I just want her Taylor."

"I'm having a sister in law!" I shout. "I'm so happy for you bubs, I always knew she'd be the one."

"You're always right." Nat says and winks.

"No one ever believes me."

I headed towards my room as I wrote in my journal

Natalie has been hurt so many times, by family and friends just like I have. I remember when she used to hate her reflection, for years, but she grew and was loved more and more. I always knew Alex would be the one. She's like a fire that keeps my bubs heart warm.

Note to self: tell Alex she's forgiven.

My heart's been borrowed and yours has been blue
All's well that ends well to end up with you
Swear to be overdramatic and true to my lover
And you'll save all your dirtiest jokes for me
And at every table, I'll save you a seat, lover

Can I go where you go?
Can we always be this close forever and ever?
And ah, take me out, and take me home (forever and ever)
You're my, my, my, my
Oh, you're my, my, my, my
Darling, you're my, my, my, my
Lover

Natalie's POV

"I'm happy." I mumble against Alex.

"I love you."

The song ends and I bring Alex closer into me and kiss her.

"I love you too." I mumble against her lips.

Alex and I pull away then clap as Taylor walks down. A smile on Tay's face as she walks over to us.

"I hope you liked it."

"That was amazing, I loved it."

"It was the best first dance song anyone could ever have." Alex says and I nod in agreement.

"I'm so happy for you two. So so happy." Taylor says as she hugs us.

"So we were thinking, well I was thinking." I say as I look at Alex then Taylor. "I have Swift in my name, for a while now."

"Yes."

"And well.."

"Uh huh?"

"You know how we went on about just having Acevedo right?"

"Natalie."

"I want Alex to have it too."

"Seriously? That's great, so why do you sound so nervous?"
