Ella's POV- October 2019

Once we got to the hotel, he was quickly checked in and given a hotel room key. 

"Ready?"

I smiled up at him.

"I can wait down here" I teased as I stood up.

He rolled his eyes as I laughed.

"Lead the way" I told him.

I followed him into the elevator and leaned against the wall as the door closed.

"You okay?" I asked when I noticed his hands immediately grip onto the rail.

"Yeah, I just don't really like elevators"

Makes sense.

"Have you ever been stuck in one of them?" I wondered.

"Yeah"

There it is.

"For like 5 hours"

Gross.

 "And we're here," I said as the door opened.

We stepped outside and I watched as he swiped his room key to open the door. He pushed the door open and turned to me.

"Ladies first"

I walked into the room and turned to look at Gavin when he closed the door.

"Do you unpack your stuff?" I asked.

"Yes"

Cool.

"You can take a seat wherever"

I took a seat on the small couch and watched him pick up his suitcase and set it on the bench at the end of the bed.

"Do you want to watch TV?"

I shook my head.

"We can talk," I said.

He smiled and unzipped his suitcase.

"Well, what do you want to talk about?"

I leaned back against the seat.

"How long has it been since you've shaved?" I wondered.

"I was hoping you wouldn't notice"

I laughed.

"It's kind of hard to not" I noted.

Even though he was blonde, he did not grow blonde facial hair.

"My plan was to shave it off last night, but I fell asleep"

"I'm not saying there's anything wrong with it, I was just curious" I stated.

I sat up when a clothing item of his caught my attention.

"Oh, good, you brought a costume," I said.

He smiled.

"What are you talking about, this is a regular outfit"

I watched as he opened the closet door and pulled out a couple of hangers.

"I never pictured you to casually wear a Where's Waldo kind of shirt out in public" I noted.

Much to my surprise, he giggled, which in turn caused his cheeks to flush up.

"With a matching beanie," I added.

"What's your costume?"

"A gumball machine," I told him.

I pulled my phone out of my pocket.
