Taylor's POV

August 22, the day pumpkin was coming back. Pumpkin coming back is the kickoff to fall personally. The taste of pumpkin and different fall spices cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove melt and blend perfectly together. I had been counting down the days since it was announced pumpkin was coming back. This year it had come slightly early then in past seasons. But I am not complaining in anyway whatsoever. Everyone knows my love for pumpkin and all things fall. I have even turned some of my pumpkin hater friends into pumpkin fanatics. I have turned everyone but one into pumpkin lovers.

Travis.

For some reason Travis is the biggest pumpkin hater known to mankind. What person doesn't enjoy the sweet medley of pumpkin, fall spices, dairy and espresso. It is so crazy that he won't even try it. No matter what I do. Puppy eyes, clinging to him, drinking it in front of him and smacking my lips obnoxiously. I even tried to bribe him with sex.

"Come onnn. We have a quickie in the locker room before your game." I whined, holding my pumpkin spice latte trying to have Travis take a sip.

"You're funny Tay you know that." Travis laughed. "You know you can't come into the locker room before the game."

"Yeah I know that. But who says we can't sneak in there. We'll just have to get there early before everyone else. Live a little Trav."

"Baby I love you so much. But we can't and I know you're only offering the locker room quickie to get me to try pumpkin. You were the one who said no more locker room after we almost got caught." Travis laughed even harder looking back at that memory.

"Fine. I guess you'll never know what it's like to be fully relaxed before a performance." I tease. 

"Stop using sex to get me to try pumpkin. It's not going to happen." He said more firmly but still teasing.

"Fine. Suit yourself. Me and my pumpkin are living our best life while you are missing out." I stick my tongue at him.

But today I am determined to make him try it. I know what would happen too. He's going to try it and deny that he likes it because he might be more stubborn than me and not want to admit that I was right again. I got three pumpkin spice lattes delivered. I always ge three.

One for my morning fix, one incase I need a pick-me-up, and the last one for Travis for the day he changes his mind and tries one. 

 I didn't want to send my security out so early but they did bring it up for me. I obviously enjoyed the sweet drink as soon as it arrived. I ordered one with an extra shot of espresso because I have too much to do in the month gap of the European leg and the start of the U.S leg starting up soon, so sleep is not needed right now. I'll sleep when I'm dead. I laugh to myself when I say it in my help.

"Good morning baby." I hear as Travis walks into the kitchen. "Still drinking pumpkin?"

"Of course I am." I smile with a toothy smile at him. "Want a sip?"

"You know what.. sure." Travis said nonchalantly.

"Wait. Really!" I scream. "You're not joking are you? Cause if you are you're not allowed in the bedroom."

"Baby no." He smiles. "I see how important pumpkin is to you and I don't know. Woke up and when I saw you sitting there all cute on your phone sipping your drink, it made me want to see what makes you and possibly every single girl on the planet crazy about this." 

"Trav, that's so sweet." I blush softly.

"And don't think I didn't notice you would get an extra one for me incase I wanted to try it because I know I see them sitting in the refrigerator."

"Well what if they were for me for later?" I deny.

"Baby you drinking three lattes in one day. That's not good we talked about this. Don you need me to get Tree to lecture you again?"

"Whatever. Are you trying one or not?"

"Yes, I'll go get it."

"Yay!" I clap my hands and smile.

When Travis sits back down with his latte, I move and sit on his lap and keep drinking mine. 

"Should I film and document this incase you try to deny?" I smile and he simply laughs because this wasn't the first time I would film us doing random stuff and send it to his family, or I watch them when he's not with me and I'm on tour.

"If that will make you happy." 

I prop up my phone and record. Travis gives me a skeptical look, looking at the cup of amazing goodness. 

"Drink it you big baby. I'm not trying to poison you." I snap.

"Okay. No need to get feisty on me." 

I watch him take a sip, smacking his lips, but he doesn't give any reaction. I continue to drink mine  as I am almost done with it, trying to savor it because he won't let me hace another one til I have a real meal or he'll threaten to call Tree or my mother. To my surprise he takes a second sip. Then a third. Still giving no reaction, but I see a small smile form on his face as he keeps drinking.

"Tay." He says slowly, dragging out the 'y' sound. 

"Trav." I repeat the same way he said. 

"Baby."

"Yes?" Confused as ever, not sure where this conversation is heading.

"Can we get another?" He asks shyly  as if he was a child wanting more dessert. 

My jaw dropped. I couldn't believe it. I got the biggest hater of pumpkin flavored anything wanting to get another latte. This could go one of two ways. I give in and we share the third PSL in the fridge, or I taunt him. Today I decided to choose violence. 

"Mmmm  no." I say.

"What do you mean no?" He asks very confused by my reaction because he knew I have been wanting him to try and like pumpkin forever.

"No." I reply again.

"Baby. Sweet girl. Princess." He says almost as if he were begging.

"No."

"Well I'm having the third one because you keep saying no."

Does he not get it? I want him to say that I was right. "Have the third one and you're not getting any until the tour ends. Tour ends in December, no way in hell was I going to last that long but he doesn't need to know that.

"We both know you won't last that long." He smirks.

"Oh really? Well let's see." I taunt. "Before things ended with Joe we didn't have sex for at least six months. Then with Matty, he wasn't really good so I had to fake it to keep his ego intact. So I think I'll be okay." I finish before grabbing the third latte and locking myself in my music room. The only key only I have to unlock it.

I sit at my piano trying to come up with a song instead all I come up with is. 

"Pumpkin spice you are the best thing to ever exist. You make life much sweeter and take away from stupid boyfriends who won't admit that their girlfriends were right about how amazing pumpkin spice isss."

Not too long after, I hear knocking coming from the door. I leave him knocking and play the keys to 'So High School', to toy with him for a bit. 

"Tay please. I'm sorry for what I said. I was wrong. You can withhold for as long as you want." He pleads. I wasn't even mad about that but I'll take it, but I decide to see where else this is going to go. "You were right. Pumpkin is amazing. I don't know why I was...." Is all I need to hear. Three amazing words.

You were right. Does it boost my ego yes. But it's true I love being right. It's a sweet sweet victory for him to say I was right. So I quickly open the door. Travis is there and is staring at me with pleading eyes. I was never mad at him but it's nice to have him grovel and pine for a little bit.

"Shut up and fuck me right now."
