I lay in bed, staring at the ceiling.
The concert was last night. What an experience! The music, the fun, the drama, and… Taylor.
“I fucked her, didn’t I?” I thought to myself. I grinned. “Hey, I fucked Taylor Swift!” And then I remembered. “Oh right, I’m her husband.”
I turned on to my left side, replaying the night before. The morning sunlight was shining through my blinds, giving them a yellow tint.
I remembered so much, but I felt as though so much more was gone. I wanted to treasure the memory of that night forever… to hold it tight and remember every detail. I knew that that wasn’t going to happen, though. Everyone’s memories fade in time- even mine.
“Oh well,” I sighed. “At least I have the program.” I scanned my room. Wait a second… didn’t I buy a program? Come to think of it, I didn’t remember having it in the car with my sister on the way home. Fuck. I must have left it with Taylor.
Oh well, fuck the program. I can get another off of eBay. I smiled. The important thing was the pick.
I grabbed my pants and rifled through my pockets. I found the pick that Taylor had given me the night before. I hadn’t even looked at it until now.
It was what I thought it was- a simple, nondescript yellow guitar pick. It looked the same as the ones I used when I took guitar lessons in high school. Oh, well, this one was from Taylor. I’ll treasure it forever. “Thanks, Taylor.” I smiled. “Thanks for everything.”
I grabbed my phone and turned it on. I wanted to relive the concert through my pictures. I smiled as I thumbed through the camera gallery. To get to the concert pics, I had to sift through a bunch of other Taylor pics, including a set of photoshopped nudes of her, and some pics of other celebrities. I didn’t remember downloading the pics, but I hadn’t gone through my phone’s gallery in about a year. I think I got them on vacation.
Despite what happened yesterday, the world in the pictures was one I could never know. It seemed so distant… yet so familiar, to see Taylor and her friends like this.
After seeing some candid pics of Dianna Agron, I abruptly and unexpectedly got to the end of the camera roll. “Wait… what the… FUCK.” Where were the concert pictures!?!?!? Something was wrong. How could they not be there? I was crushed. And angry. What happened!? I took alot of pictures- too many, actually- how could they have just dissappeared?!?!?
“FUCK. FUCK. Oh, of COURSE something happened to the pictures. Why the fuck wouldn’t it?” God FUCKING damn it. I somehow resisted the temptation to throw my phone across the room. God DAMN it.
I would need to get my sister’s pics. They would be fine, but it wouldn’t be the same. FUCK. I left the gallery to see what was wrong with my phone.
I was surprised. Somehow, my iPhone’s background had changed to yellow. And my battery was fully charged. Somehow.
What. The. Fuck?
How did all of this happen? I took alot of pictures and videos yesterday, and I didn’t charge my phone last night. None of this made sense, unless… unless…
Unless this wasn’t my phone.
The phone gave a little jingle. It was a text from Selena Gomez.
“hi taylor. how was the concert? did tom talk 2 u after?”
Oh. My. God.
Last night… during the chaos of getting dressed… I must have picked up the wrong phone.
OH. MY. GOD.
Selena texted again. “taylr? u there?”
“OH FUCK.” No way. NO WAY. What do I do? I stared at Selena’s texts. Her little yellow bubbles were scaring me.
My mind opened up a pandora’s box. What do I say? Do I pretend to be Taylor? Do I tell the truth? I can’t tell the truth. Taylor specifically said that we weren’t supposed to see each other. Do I… wait. If this is Taylor’s phone, then those nude pics of her must be real. Oh my God. And what else is on the phone? There might be stuff about me! Now I could finally know what she *really* thinks about me!
Too many thoughts. I needed to think about Selena. If I fail her text, it might be bad- very bad.
I thought for a few seconds. How would Taylor text? Would she use proper English, like me? Did she have a nickname for Selena that I don’t know? Should I even text back- wouldn’t that be a crime?
Well, I couldn’t wait forever. And surely Taylor wouldn’t get mad over a little text. I thought of Taylor’s tweeting style and texted back: “the concert was amazing. I love my fans. we’re so lucky sel.”
Selena responded immediately. “good 4 u. i can’t wait 2 tour. what did tom say?”
So far, so good. “tom had fun. he was really funny after the show. he asked me to marry him. AGAIN.” I grinned evilly. “we’re so lucky to have him as a boyf. he’s such a hunk.”
Selena responded with a nodding smiley.
My mind raced to explore the possibilites of this new situation. What do I ask next? I need information about me and everyone else. This was my chance. Hmm… she and Taylor may have personal twitter accounts or webpages that they don’t advertise to the public. I’d like to know, either way. Also… can I trick Selena and get her to send some sexy pictures?
But… I shouldn’t. Should I? I could get away with it, at least temporarily. I am way, way smarter than Selena. I could easily get something out of her. But… what am I thinking? These are my girlfriends! That would be a violation of their trust!
Selena suddenly texted. “in a meeting. txt u later.” She followed it up with a happy little yellow smiley.
I lay on my bed and thought. OK… I had my fun. I shouldn’t do any more. I needed to call Taylor.
I looked in her contacts and found Taylor’s mom’s number listed as an emergency contact. Her and Taylor were probably talking about the concert right now.
I grabbed my landline and called her.
“Hi. Andrea here”. It was her.
I put on my best professional voice. “Hello. May I please speak with Taylor Swift?”
“May I ask who is calling?”
“I need to report a problem with Taylor’s phone. She has you listed as an alternate contact.”
“Oh, Ok. Hold on. One minute.”
13 seconds passed.
“Yello.” It was her.
“Hi Taylor… it’s me. Tom. Your boyfriend.”
There was an odd silence. I could hear nothing from Taylor. Not even breathing.
“Hi Tom. Why are you calling me? How did you get my Mom’s number? No offense. But I didn’t give it to you.” Her breaths were short and measured.
“Don’t worry, Taylor. I just got it from your phone.”
“My phone.” She stopped breathing. “What do you mean? Oh. Did you hack into my phone? What did you do?” Wow. Very strange. She was clearly uncomfortable talking to me- and she was referencing my programming skills. But how did she know about that? I’ve made it a point to keep that part of me hidden from her and her friends.
I laughed to calm her. And myself. The sun was blazing into my room, and it was starting to get hot. “No Taylor, nothing like that! We just switched phones.”
“Intentionally?”
“What?”
“I know you, Tom. I love you but I know you.”
I was stunned. She was implying that I did this on purpose! ME! ME of all people!!!! I mean yes, I’ve stolen God knows how many things in my life, but I would never be so stupid as to steal someone’s phone! Too obvious. I only steal things that people won’t notice are missing until much later, if ever. And to think that I would do that to her! I only steal from companies. How could she even-
“It’s OK, Tom.” She sighed. “Don’t be angry. I understand. Just keep it. I’ll get another one.”
“I didn’t steal your phone, Taylor.”
She breathed for awhile. “I believe you.”
“I need my phone back. iPhones are too expensive to lose. For me, at least.”
“I’m sorry but we shouldn’t be talking like this. I know, I know. It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have seduced you. I’m so sorry.”
“I need my phone back now, Taylor. Or else. There are pictures and videos of your concert on it. I need them. I love you and I’m not going to let you get in the way of our relationship.”
“Oh.” I could feel her softly blushing through her voice. Her cheeks were a little warm- not red, but almost. I could feel her curling her yellow hair in her soft fingers.
“And why were you afraid of me? What could I do to you, really? You’re rich and I’m not.”
“I wasn’t… scared of you. I was just surprised. And concerned.”
That made sense. I guess. I would have been surprised if I was her, too.
My mind wandered back to her phone… and the nude pics on it. I thumbed through the nude gallery. WOW. Oh my God. I could see her entire body. Her everything.
In the first pic, she was relaxing nude in a chair outside, her breasts fully exposed. She was wearing the yellow bandana that she wore in 22. The sun was shining on her, giving her a yellow tint. Her nipples were super hard, and she was gazing at me like she needed me to suck them. The next pic was of her in the chair from a distance. I could see her full body down to her toes. Her foot closest to the camera was on the ground, so I could see her vadge. Everything looked amazing. She had the best legs I’d ever seen.
I thumbed through the rest of the nudes. Some were actually funny. Others dramatic. Some overtly pornographic. Some were… weird. All were of nude Taylor. It was amazing. It was my dream gallery come to life.
And to top it off, the pics were of super high quality. I could tell. They would be lifelike on my computer. I couldn’t wait to download them.
“Taylor, do you remember everything that’s on your phone?”
“No, not everything. Why?”
“There are nude pics of you on here.” I said, hungrily.
“OH! MY GOSH! There are?”
“Yeah. And they’re awesome.” I went back to the first topless picture- the one of her in the chair. Her everything was a turn on. Her pretty blonde hair looked so soft draped over her shoulder. As I leered, I could feel the warm sun touching my back.
I kissed her. Hard. Over the phone.
“Tom!?! ”
“Stay on the line, Taylor. We’re going to do this with the pics and the sounds of our voices.”
She smiled, knowingly and sexily. “I’m already alone. Do it.”
I fucked her. Slowly. I spent an hour just exploring her body, using the moans and sighs from her voice as a guide, and the energy from the blazing yellow sun as fuel. It was the most unbelievable experience of my life. After an hour of foreplay, with her nipples weary and drained and her legs sore from being licked, I penetrated her. Slowly, smoothly and sweetly. After another hour of fun, with her sex sore from rubbing, I came.
We both exploded. Epically.
Afterwards, she sighed triumphantly. So did I.
“You’re going to write a song about this, right?”
“TAAAMMMMUUUHHH!”
“What?”
“Yes, I’ll write a song about this. Thanks for the ideas.” She laughed. Then she frowned- a difficult feat, considering what we just did. “Tom… my song ideas… are on that phone. There are business secrets on it, too. I need it back. I take back what I said earlier. But please don’t mail it to me. All of my mail is opened by others and I don’t want anyone else to get their hands on it.”
“If that’s true, we need to meet again and exchange phones. There’s no other way.”
“You’re right. I’ll explain all of this to my friends so they will expect you.”
“Expect me? Where?”
“At my home… in Rhode Island.”

A week later, a green envelope without a return address arrived at my house. Knowing who it was from, I opened it. I could see why a green envelope was chosen- it was to hide the money. Wrapped in a pocket of $1000- for travel expenses- was an airline ticket. The green highlights on the ticket showed me my destination. Rhode Island.
What would come of this? I didn’t know. All I could do is prepare. And wait.
