Taylor Swift got nervous a lot. Before and during her musical performances, her interviews, award shows, even just being in a large crowd or talking to someone she didn't know, just about everything made the shy little blonde nervous.
However Taylor had never been more nervous than she was now, standing in front of the hotel room door belonging to one of the most successful singers of all time Beyonce Knowles.
Until a few hours ago they had only really met in passing, Beyonce barely giving the white country singer a second look, Taylor too star struck to even think about talking to the black pop singer. Then Kanye West had humiliated her in front of everyone at the MTV Music Video Awards, and all of a sudden Beyonce hadn't seem to be able to leave her alone.
That was probably because Beyonce had found her crying backstage, but still it meant a lot to Taylor, especially as later when Beyonce was accepting an award she called Taylor up onto the stage to finish her acceptance speech. They'd talked for like an hour after the show, and even though she wouldn't have thought it was possible Taylor felt so much better, if nothing else because she felt so overwhelmed talking to Beyonce that she didn't even think about what had happened to her.
Of course everyone wanted to talk to Taylor about what had happened, and they had both needed to mingle so they parted ways, but Beyonce had insisted that Taylor come to her hotel room afterwards so they could talk some more.
At the time Taylor had been excited by the prospect, but despite how easy she had found talking to the black mega star she couldn't help feeling nervous again now she was actually standing on what felt like sacred ground.
As soon as she finally worked up the courage to knock she heard the faint sound of footsteps and then the door opened to reveal the stunning beauty that was Beyonce Knowles.
The black woman smiled at her warmly, "Taylor, I'm so glad you came. Please, come in."
"Hey... thanks..." Taylor murmured, wishing she had something more profound to say as she shuffled in.
Then she heard the gentle sound of the door being closed and then locked, something that seemed only natural given what a big star Beyonce was. Little did she know the older woman had locked the door as much to keep Taylor in as to keep people out.
"Can I get you something to drink?" Beyonce offered softly, "Water, juice-"
"No, I'm, I'm fine." Taylor stammered softly.
"How about something a little stronger?" Beyonce further offered.
"No, I'm... I'm 19." Taylor said softly, assuming Beyonce probably didn't know how old she was. Why would she? Of course even if she'd known or suspected few would vilify the spectacular woman for offering her that kind of drink under the circumstances.
Beyonce smiled widely at the teen's reaction, "Well, you really are a good girl, aren't you? It's... cute."
Taylor, who had spent their entire conversation so far with her eyes downcast, lowered her head and blushed slightly.
Beyonce somewhat cursed herself for her cute comment, although she had to give herself credit for not literally drooling. She'd had easy conquest before, but this emotionally vulnerable little teen might just prove to be her easiest.
Hell, this cute little white girl might as well have showed up at her door with a little bow around her and a card reading 'To Beyonce, please enjoy'.
Of course while Beyonce was a sexual predator forever on hunt for soft girl flesh, with straight white girls being her favourite type of prey, she wasn't heartless.
As such when Taylor burst into tears in front of her the dark skinned singer immediately went from hunting mode to comforting mode, quickly wrapping her arms around the weeping country singer and holding her gently.
"I'm, I'm sorry." Taylor wept.
"Shhhhh, you have nothing to be sorry for." Beyonce comforted softly.
This was very reminiscent of how Beyonce had found Taylor backstage, although unlike last time when the young girl had become embarrassed and quickly composed herself this time she just kept softly crying her eyes out.
Beyonce held her through it all, standing on the spot for several minutes before eventually guiding her over to the luxurious sofa that came as part of the pop singer's expensive suite. Taylor didn't interject, allowing Beyonce to gently reposition them as she continued to cry.
Eventually Taylor whimpered, "I... I, I can't help thinking he was, was ri, right. You, you should have won."
Beyonce agreed with that sentiment, although she didn't tell Taylor that. Instead she opted for truthfully murmuring, "I've won plenty of awards. Tonight you had the chance to shine, and Kanye took that away from you and ruined your night, made you feel all bad inside... but you know what? I think I can make it up to you."
It wasn't Beyonce job to do that, but feeling kind of curious by that statement Taylor lifted her head up to look at the other woman and asked, "H, how? How can you do that?"
Beyonce smiled and then began gently sliding her hands over Taylor's body. Of course she ignored all the places she most wanted to touch, but the gentle movements of her hands were clearly not 100% just friendly.
Taylor seemed to pick up on that by the way she opened her mouth and let out a soft moan, the two singers staring at each other for several long minutes.
