It was time to get serious about songwriting.
It was the day after the Halloween party and I had a couple of lyrics written in my Notes app on my phone. I thought it would be a good idea to invite Trevor to go shopping with me to get a new songbook. It could possibly give me inspiration for a song other than 'Autumn Leaves' and that's it. He picked me up from the apartment and drove us to the nearest craft store in the city.
"You're not worried about being spotted by paparazzi?" I asked him as he parked the car.
"Nah," he answered. "Are you?" I nodded my head and looked out to see the nearly empty parking lot. "Here, wear this." He took his hat off and placed it on my head. I cracked a smile as I got out of the car.
We went inside and were greeted by an older lady working the register. I didn't really know my place around the store and I was too anxious to ask. Trevor followed behind me which made it even worse since I had no clue where was what. I played it cool though and slowly walked past the aisles, searching for notebooks.
"Do you even know where to go?" he asked.
I scoffed, "Yeah! Obviously." It was a blatant lie and he knew that.
He grabbed my hand, stopping me from wandering cluelessly. "Then you would know we just passed the notebook aisle." My mouth opened, trying to find any excuse for that. He chuckled and said, "You're so cute. Come on."
My cheeks flushed red as I let out a little groan in response. He navigated me to the aisle, still holding onto my hand. There were a variety of notebooks for me to use. Lined, dotted, large, small. I didn't even know where to start. "What about this one?" I laughed as I grabbed a notebook with a unicorn as the cover.
He nodded his head and chuckled, "It totally suits you." It shouldn't matter which one I got, it wasn't going to be on display. I was only planning on showing my bandmates and Aubrey. "Are you actually gonna get it?" I shrugged and answered, "Maybe. I'm very unpredictable." After looking at all the other options, I settled on the unicorn one and we went to the register. I let go of Trevor's hand and placed the notebook on the table for the person to scan.
"Did you find everything you need?" The girl's voice trailed off as she looked up at me. Her face lit up as she let out a gasp, a smile forming on her face. "You're Hayden Clarke and Trevor Zegras! Oh my God! Is it actually true you're dating?! I've seen it all over my feed!"
Before I could give her an answer, Trevor stepped in and said, "Not yet, but we would be a cute couple." My face was bright red as I nodded my head, too flustered to follow it up with a comment. The fan, whose name was Marie, told me the total. I reached for my pocket, but Trevor grabbed his wallet from his pocket first and pulled out his card.
"I thought I told you I would pay," I told him as he inserted his card into the reader.
"You thought I was gonna let that happen?" he chuckled. "I'm treating you with my presence and my money."
