𝓁𝒾𝓉𝓉𝓁ℯ 𝒹ℴ 𝓎ℴ𝓊 𝓀𝓃ℴ𝓌 ➜ hailey & liam
being around liam was just so easy, she had to remind herself that all of that would possibly change once she would’ve told him the entire truth about that night. she didn’t want things to get messy or difficult, she wanted easy. the smile on hailey’s face widened with liam’s words, a soft rosé grazing her cheeks. “my god liam, i had no idea i am that special to you,” she jokingly teased him. “you’ll always have my support and enthusiasm, i promise. even if we don’t talk anymore in like ten years, i’ll still buy your album and try to read between the lines in the lyrics if any of the songs are about me,” she laughed. being around liam was fun, too. he had a way of making her laugh in the most genuine way. there were no forced jokes or forced smiles, it was real. by now, the blonde had almost forgotten that there was someone else with them in the room until mike shook his head in amusement at the two in the corner of her eyes. “undying love, i like the sound of that. no matter how much you might hate me one day, always remember this conversation. in fact, let’s pinky promise on it. i have trust issues, this is the only way i know this is for real,” hailey held her pinky up for him, raising her eyebrows with a smug grin on her lips. being around liam was freeing. the girl often struggled with showing people the real her. a part of her most likely always hidden around so many people, especially people she didn’t yet feel comfortable around. of course the alcohol had probably played a major role in hailey feeling comfortable around liam from the very first time and them hitting it off so quickly, but that was besides the point. “three hailey’s ? i don’t know about you, but i’d call that a win,” she chuckled. “i’m just kidding. one is more than enough. thank you, though. you don’t look so bad yourself,” hailey tilted her head a little to the side, nodding. “yeah, it’s definitely your side profile that’s burned into my brain from all the belly shots,” she eyed it, pressing her lips a little together to hold back a laugh, “gotta say, you also have a very nice side profile when i’m sober.” her eyes darted to the ground as her heart rate picked up at the thought of going into that booth with him to sing. contemplating it for a second, she finally nodded, her eyes meeting his again. “okay fine, let’s do it,” the blonde agreed. “but promise me not to laugh at my voice,” she added with a small chuckle, shyly hiding her face in her palms.
“I’m deeply sorry if I never made it this obvious before” Liam chuckled, “That’s all I’m really asking, your infinite support, no matter what, I can’t cope without it anymore. Do that, some will be more direct then others, you will have to really pay attention, we don’t want people snooping on us and all that. straining the relationship, ya know” he mused, a permanent smile on his face as he went on. “I would never hate you, what are you on about?!” he was quick to complain “Pinky promise! I take my pinky promises very seriously!” Liam grinned at the blonde, raising his hand to lock his pinky finger with her, holding their fingers together probably a little too long for a pinky promise kind of act, but if Hailey had minded it she didn’t let it show. “I had a lot of fun with said three Hailey’s so it was definitely a win!” He agreed, “Why thank you! My side profile? Well I don’t have too much of a big nose do I?!” He turned his head, his pointing finger going over the profile of his nose as he wondered teasingly. “Yes!” He cheered, over dramatizing it by closing his fist and and pulling his elbow to himself, as a sign of victory of sorts, “I won’t! It’s going to be fun!” He assured, finding endearing how she was hiding her face in her hands, without thinking much out of it, he reached for both her hands to held them on his own, dragging her along into the recording booth.
“I’m being serious! That might just make the cut for the final track, just seat back and wait for those Royalties!” Liam mused, as they were walking outside of the studio, after being over an hour playing around with his song, Hailey actually pulling out some back up singing in there that he really liked as Mike worked on the mix, what started just for the fun of it, turned out pretty cool, and Liam was liking where the song was getting. “Guess you just had to own your - what was it? 20% you said?!” He laughed, feeling really happy with how fun the whole session turned out to be with Hailey around. “Did you drive here?” He wondered, looking around the parking lot. “I still have to rent myself a car” He shared, he had called an uber earlier. “Are we going grocery shopping for rhubarb or what is the plan of action here?” he asked further, not sure if she had made any planning in advance or not.
