Summary
“This is the friendship song, right?”
“Uh-huh,” Taylor nods, raising her chin but still looking past Karlie’s head. “So, yeah. I was thinking, um, I mean I was thinking of this, um,” Taylor falters, eyes closing for a second, “this girl when I wrote it.”
“Oh.”
The tightness in her chest grows to be almost unbearable, throat closing in as she tries to get the words out. She’s so scared she feels almost twenty-five years old again. She’s held on to this secret for so long and she’s about to just say it. It’s as if there are two Taylors inside her — one trying to shut her up and continue her life just like it has until now, while the other begs her to say something, unable to bear never finding out what would’ve happened it she had just confessed.
“But- but I think I was also, um, maybe thinking of you.”
OR
A Kaylor story inspired by 'Ruin The Friendship'. Taylor and Karlie see each other at a party after years of not being friends. Taylor is given the opportunity to be honest about her true feelings after years of regrets.

Summary
“You know,” Karlie chuckles a moment later, “we don’t really have to do this whole thing where you pretend you don’t wanna kiss me and I pretend I won’t let you, so…”
Taylor’s eyes snap to Karlie’s at that. She scoffs — as if there’s anything to scoff at, as if she hasn’t been staring at Karlie’s mouth for the past five minutes.
“Let me?”
Karlie hums with a smirk. “Let you.”
OR
Taylor promises herself to take things slow with Karlie after the night at Gigi's apartment. Karlie has other plans, though.

Summary
“Well? Can I get my answer? Or is it too early for that as well?”
Taylor exhales with another shake of her head. She’s entertained, she really is. It’s hard not getting pulled into Karlie’s orbit — she’s just magnetic like that.
“I… wouldn’t be opposed to it,” Taylor replies after a moment. “Give it a try. I’ve never—”
“I figured,” Karlie hums. It’s not snide, not meant to mean anything more than what she said. Not meant to make fun of Taylor or minimize her experiences. Taylor appreciates it. “We could just try it. If you’re comfortable with it.”
“I feel comfortable with you,” Taylor says, surprising herself.
OR
Taylor discovers a new side of herself with Karlie.

Summary
“I missed you,” Taylor gasps into Karlie’s mouth. “I need you.”
Taylor feels crazy and a little bit pathetic. It’s barely been over a week since Karlie had been in her apartment. There should be some sort of filter, at least at first. She should be able to keep these confessions inside for just a little longer, but one look at Karlie at her door is apparently all it takes. She’s all Taylor has been able to think about for days.
Taylor searches for Karlie’s face with her hands, pulling her in for another kiss.
“Yeah?” Karlie murmurs, sultry. She pushes Taylor against the nearest wall, keeping a strong hold on her.
“Mhmm.”
OR
karlie shows up at taylor's apartment a day after her birthday with a surprise.
