Chapter Twelve
Bryan was right. Maybe she was overthinking it all. She pulled into a space in the carpark and grabbed her phone.
Can I video call you tonight?
She flashed the screen to Bryan who nodded. âYes, tell him yes. You two have a lot to sort out. Come on, the last one out of the carpark is a smelly old fart.â He got out, slammed the door, and zipped up his jacket. âWhere should we go first?â
âLetâs get the dress out of the way first,â she said slinging her handbag over her shoulder. âI canât stand clothes shopping...â she responded whilst typing out her message and then deleting it.
Okay, Iâll let you know what time.
âYeah, I know you hate it but if itâs books...â
She switched off her phone thinking sheâd leave it in the car because the last thing she wanted was to be checking it every five minutes. The man was doing her head in but in a good way. âOh you know me so well,â she smiled, linking his arm, and headed out of the carpark to a bustling street.
âItâs manic,â she said crossing the road. They were headed to the shopping arcade, trying to navigate around people and whining kids when Paige felt someone tap her shoulder. She swung around and her jaw dropped.
âTwice in a day. Weâve got to stop meeting like this,â said Ashley looking down at her and smiling. Strands of hair blew across his face from under his beanie hat and he brushed them away.
âChristmas shopping?â she asked and a memory of them shopping in New York a few years ago at Christmas flashed across her eyes. Part of her wanted to cry and the other half of her hated him. The confusion mentally exhausted her.
He raised a small carrier bag and shrugged. âJust dinner,â he said, and she sensed sadness emanating from him. âAfter youâve shopped could we, er, meet for a drink?â
She looked at Bryan who raised his hands as if to say, âdonât get me involvedâ and said yes before she gave herself too much time it think it through.
âBrilliant. If youâre still around Iâll be at Lexiâs, you know the rock bar?â
She nodded. âYeah, you still go there?â
âI sort of own it now,â he said. âOkay, Iâll leave you to do your shopping. See you later then, yeah?â he said as he turned to walk away.
âOkay, later,â she said and went to join Bryan talking to a group of people who had gathered around him talking excitedly. Bryan excused himself, said his farewells and rolled his eyes at Paige once they were out of sight.
âWho were they?â
âFans,â he said flustered. âItâs hard work being famous. So what did he want then? Donât tell me you are seriously meeting him?â
As they walked to the glass entrance to the building Paige was already having second thoughts. âMaybe youâre right. I shouldnât go but... I donât know. Thereâs something I canât quite put my finger on.â
Bryan dragged her to the first clothes shop
