warnings: swearing

a/n: aahh i loved writing this! i listened to 'what a time' by julia micheals, 'lose you to love me by' selena gomez and 'losing you' by james arthur if you wanna get into the mood <3

[not my gif!!!]

a couple months ago, you were approached by your agent who said that BFI wanted you to present an award at this year’s BAFTA as you won last year’s rising star award for your role in The Lost Daughter. there was a bit of hesitation before you accepted because there was a very high chance that one particular brit would be there.

you had dated and even got engaged to will poulter a few years ago. you first met on the set of The Death Cure where you played minho’s girlfriend and have been inseparable ever since. it started off as an innocent friendship because you were new to the acting industry and you wanted to focus on that but it was becoming harder and harder to resist him. from the moment he laid eyes on you, will knew he didn’t want to be ‘just friends’ and he made it known. several times.

so you did what felt right and you gave into will. you allowed him to take you on a date which led to a second one and a third and it snowballed into a beautiful relationship before you had the chance to blink. the two years you spent together were incredible, he asked you to move in with him a year in and 6 months later he proposed. it was a low-key proposal as you were both private people so he opted for an at-home dinner transforming your backyard. with the help of his mum, he hung fairy lights, set up a candlelit table with a crisp white cloth and rose petals on the table and on the ground surrounding it. he ordered from your favourite restaurant and after your meal, he had popped the question. it was the easiest yes you have ever said.

then things got tricky. you started to book roles out in LA which required you to move there. you tried the long distance and it was working for a bit but you were gone for months at a time. you had come home early from shooting your latest movie one day and expected him to be overjoyed but instead, you were welcomed with a disheartening look. that night he broke up with you because he felt like he couldn’t advance in his career and in life being tied down to you, someone who wasn’t even in the same country as him most of the year. that caused you to say some things and he said some more things which ultimately left you in tears and storming out the door but not before you told him to never contact you again.

when weeks flew by and there was a deafening silence from him, you were gutted to know that he actually did what you said. weeks turned to months and months turned to years and here you were 3 years later eyes locked with your ex at the british vogue x tiffany & co BAFTA after-party. this was the moment you were dreading since you stepped foot in this party. you broke his eye contact smoothing your hands over your dress, silently cheering that you picked the sexiest dress that your stylist could find.

you successfully avoided him that night but 2 weeks later he was literally unavoidable because he was at your door. see, will was invited by the academy to this year’s Oscars and he knew it was the perfect time to go to LA to get you back. he knew you and dylan were still good friends and hung out regularly so that’s exactly who he went to find out where you lived.

hearing the rapid knocks on your door, you slipped the beige sweater over your white tee and reached for your tote. you were on your way out to meet a friend for lunch but you don’t remember saying to meet up at your place. “hey, i didn’t know…” your sentence trailed off as you took in the view of will. your ex. in LA? looking dishevelled but still so breathtaking with just a black tee and his favourite light wash jeans.

“y/n, hi,” he said demurely.

confusion spread across your face quickly. “why-how-what are you doing here?” you finally said.

instead of answering your question, he gestured inside your apartment. “do you mind if i come in?”

you paused at that request but ultimately let him through because whatever conversation you were about to have, you didn’t want it to be in the hallway with your neighbours' eavesdropping.

will took off his shoes as he entered because even after all these years he respected the fact that you hated outside shoes worn indoors.

“nice place. very minimalistic. very you,” he said softly. you knew what he was doing, he was trying to be cute but at this moment you were not in a ‘cute’ mood.

“will, with all due respect, what the hell are you doing here?”

“i’m presenting at the Oscars on sunday,” he replied. you stayed silent because that was not the answer you were looking for.

“i’ve been thinking about us a lot lately and… it was good. we were good,” he says with a soft smile.

you couldn’t believe that he was in front of you right now reminiscing old times. him. the man that had and broke your heart. crossing your arms, you spoke with an icy tone. “yeah well all good things must come to an end.”

he sighed. of course you wouldn’t let him off easy. not only did he end a relationship when you walked away, but he also ended your engagement, a potential marriage.

“what are you even doing here, will? hmm? you show up at my door after 3 fucking years talking about how you’ve been thinking about us? there isn’t an ‘us’. and what? now you want me back all of the sudden? i don’t get it.”

“it might seem like ‘all of the sudden’ for you but i regretted my words the moment i said them and i have been paying the price for 3 years,” will tried to take a step closer but you took a step back.

you shook your head at his words. “i loved you… and you hurt me,” you could feel your throat closing up. it was getting harder to swallow. “you told me that i wasn’t worth it. that i was holding you back from your career. and you know what’s so funny?” you scoffed. “i was coming home to london, to you, for good that night. i even told my agent to hold off on sending me to auditions in LA because i wanted to be with you. i wanted to work in london so i could be closer to you,”

he frustratingly rubbed his hands over his face and through his hair. “fuck y/n, i had no idea,”

“no, of course, you didn’t. you were deadset on having me out of your life all of the sudden that i felt like there was nothing i could say to make you reconsider,” you dropped your hands in frustration. this conversation was never gonna be easy, you knew that but it was still difficult because, after your break up, you repressed all your feelings and emotions and never talked about it with anyone at great lengths.

“i want you to understand that there is nothing that i said in that conversation that holds any value or reflects at all how i felt or feel now. i made a mistake and ruined the best thing that has ever happened to me. god, there were so many moments when i wanted to reach out and trust me y/n, i almost did but… i would see photos of you online looking absolutely gorgeous at events and premieres and see you on talk shows and it looked like you were happy. like you were better off without me.”

those words definitely eased your heart a little, making it flutter even. your hair shielded your face as you hung your head. “i wasn’t,” you whispered.

there was silence. you didn’t dare look up because tears were running down your face that you couldn’t bare show him.

will stepped forward and placed both his hands on your head. he wanted to look into your eyes as he said this. “i love you, y/n. i made the biggest mistake of my life all those years but i never stopped loving you.”

“will…” you said grasping onto his forearms and leaning into his touch.

“i know i don’t deserve it and I definitely don’t deserve you, but take me back. i will spend the rest of my life making it up to you.”

hot tears were threatening to escape will’s eyes. his stunning blue eyes. you wanted to take him back, you really did but how did you know that it wasn’t gonna happen again?

“i can’t be hurt like that again. i can’t, will.”

“i won’t. i promise. i’d give you my word but that probably means fuck all to you now.”

you couldn’t help but chuckle at that. It was just like him to throw in banter in the most serious conversations. “fuck, i missed you”

“and i missed you.”

he held your gaze until his eyes flickered to your lips. “can i kiss you now?”

you nodded and that’s all it took for will crash his lips onto yours. he already wasted 3 years, he wasn’t gonna wait for another second. his lips moulded yours perfectly. you moaned which gave will the perfect entry to slip his tongue in. his hands went to your waist to pull you in closer and your arms flew around his neck, drawing him in. and just like that all your worries and doubts slipped away because his kiss told you more than he could ever say.

you were his and he was yours, always was and always will be.

Taylor and Joe in 2019

January 2nd – Joe is seen leaving Taylor’s Tribeca apartment. (x)

January 6th – They both attend the Golden Globes in LA.

“While Taylor presented, Joe watched the teleprompter near him and smiled and [his The Favourite costar] Nicholas Hoult patted him on the back. After Gaga walked on stage, Joe shifted his gaze to the stage near Taylor. She was smiling at him while she walked off the stage. She looked over her shoulder and gave a sassy cute little smile at his table’s direction.”

(via US Weekly)

January 6th – An ET reporter asks Joe if he and Taylor would ever work together. (x)

“It’s not planned at the moment but who knows.”

“Swift joined Alwyn at Fox’s party at the Beverly Hilton Hotel. The instant she entered the event, the “Gorgeous” singer made a beeline for The Favourite star, putting her head on his shoulder and hand on his chest. Swift didn’t leave Alwyn’s side, posing for photos and chatting with Alwyn’s co-star, Nicholas Hoult, as she kept her hand around Alwyn’s waist. At the end of the evening, the two exited through the back of the venue and away from the crowds.”

(via Entertainment Tonight)

FOX Post Show Celebration was also one of the starriest, with The Favourite cast holding court at their table and having a ball throughout the night. Big winner Olivia Colman was seen taking shots with Joe Alwyn, who was accompanied by girlfriend Taylor Swift the whole night.

The Grammy winner cheered on the cast as they took the shots and was affectionate with her beau throughout the celebration. The ultra-private couple was spotted kissing and cozying up at their table along with Alwyn’s Favourite costar Emma Stone and her Saturday Night Live writer boyfriend Dave McCary.

(via PEOPLE)

CAA party: Alwyn and Swift made a brief appearance around 1 a.m. Security swarmed them,” the source says. “They sat in a couch at a table with their drinks in the back of the party and were talking with several people. They looked at each other a few times and it seemed like Joe was trying to make sure she was OK and gauge when she wanted to leave. They were then escorted out of a private exit together.”

(via E Online)

Video of them arriving at one of the afterparties.

February 8th – Taylor and Joe are spotted leaving The Spaniards Inn in Hampstead, London. (x)

Taylor Swift spotted caressing Joe Alwyn after sneaking into BAFTA dinner (x)

Determined to keep a low profile, Taylor swerved the main event at the Royal Albert Hall attended by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and headed straight to the exclusive dinner at the swanky Grosvenor Hotel on Park Lane.

“Taylor and Joe spent most of the evening in the middle of the room near the head table and based on table 68. They were chatting to colleagues but Taylor didn’t hide her affection towards Joe. She was seen caressing his back as they chatted away to a pal. It was clear they were an item but Taylor appeared conscious not to make a big deal about her appearance - she was just there for a good time rather than working like she would have to at the Grammys. Taylor didn’t leave Joe’s side all evening.”

Keen to keep a memento from the night, Taylor was seen taking home two pottery rabbit table decorations from her table.

Taylor talked to a Grazia reporter about The Favourite and how proud she was of him. (x)

While Grazia chatted to Joe about working with Olivia Colman (‘She was amazing,’ he gushed), Taylor appeared and gave him a congratulatory squeeze. ‘I was watching the show from home,’ she told us. ‘Every time The Favourite won another award, I was just squealing! I couldn’t believe it,’ she continued. ‘It’s so great for him – and it’s his first time coming to the BAFTAs, so it’s exciting. It’s a big deal.’ The singer, who is currently filming Cats, added how ‘proud’ she was of Joe’s success.

They were seen leaving the Vogue / Tiffany & Co afterparty. (video) (x)

They’re going to have a rerun of the karaoke night and Olivia has even been to Taylor and Joe’s LA home too.”

March 6th – Taylor drops an ELLE article titled “30 Things I Learned Before Turning 30.″ (x)

How to fight fair with the ones you love. Chances are you’re not trying to hurt the person you love and they aren’t trying to hurt you. If you can wind the tension of an argument down to a conversation about where the other person is coming from, there’s a greater chance you can remove the shame of losing a fight for one of you and the ego boost of the one who “won” the fight. I know a couple who, in the thick of a fight, say “Hey, same team.” Find a way to defuse the anger that can spiral out of control and make you lose sight of the good things you two have built. They don’t give out awards for winning the most fights in your relationship. They just give out divorce papers.

Apologizing when you have hurt someone who really matters to you takes nothing away from you. Even if it was unintentional, it’s so easy to just apologize and move on. Try not to say “I’m sorry, but...” and make excuses for yourself. Learn how to make a sincere apology, and you can avoid breaking down the trust in your friendships and relationships.

For too long, the projected opinions of strangers affected how I viewed my relationships. Whether it was the general internet consensus of who would be right for me, or what they thought was “couples goals” based on a picture I posted on Instagram. That stuff isn’t real. For an approval seeker like me, it was an important lesson for me to learn to have my OWN value system of what I actually want.

Playing mind games is for the chase. In a real relationship or friendship, you’re shooting yourself in the foot if you don’t tell the other person how you feel, and what could be done to fix it. No one is a mind reader. If someone really loves you, they want you to verbalize how you feel. This is real life, not chess.

April 17th – Emma Roberts and Garrett Hedlund (Joe’s Billy Lynn co-star) visit Joe and Taylor at their LA place. (x)

May 26th – Taylor posts photos from her hotel room that Joe most likely took.

May 31st – Taylor and Joe go on a double date with Rob Pattinson and Suki Waterhouse at San Vicente Bungalows in LA. (x)

The San Vicente Bungalows is an exclusive members-only club and has a "no phones, no pictures, no social media, no talking about other members-policy." So it truly is the perfect place for two private couples to have a double date out.

Other people still saw Swift, Alwyn, Pattinson, and Waterhouse, and one onlooker told Us Weekly that the date happened. It was good fun. "The four were laughing and talking" all night, the onlooker said. "They were at a table, just the four of them. Rob and Taylor were across from each other."

June 19th – Taylor leaves NYC and flies to London.

June 27th – Taylor films the BBC Children In Need documentary and says she got involved because Olivia Colman reached out to Joe.

(via taylorswifth)

“Taylor Swift goes out with a very lovely fella, Joe Alwyn, who I did a job with. And I did a very cheeky text at him and went, ‘Do you think Taylor will come along and surprise Shaun Dooley?’”

June 29th – kingkeir tweets about Taylor renting a place near London Zoo.

July 2nd – Taylor, Martha, Ashley and the HAIM sisters go on vacation to the St Thomas Virgin Islands. (x)

July 13th – Taylor and Joe were reportedly seen at Starbucks in Muswell Hill.

July 16th – In a radio interview with KIIS 1065, Katy Perry talks about ending her feud with Taylor. (x)

“I started seeing her around at like the Oscar parties when she was accompanying her boyfriend and I just went up to her and I was like 'hey, you know it's been a long time and I think we've grown up a little bit and I just wanted to say I'm sorry.”

July 18th – Taylor and Joe fly to Manchester, and it’s pretty likely that this photo (posted on July 26) was from this trip, because it was taken at the Peak District and that’s an hour long drive from Manchester.

July 30th – In an interview with Cosmopolitan, Rebel Wilson is asked whether she got some dating tips from Taylor while they were filming CATS. (x)

August 2nd – London secret sessions are held.

Taylor name dropped Joe when explaining Cruel Summer, confirming that it’s about him. (x)
