Chapter 16: Nature and Suprises

                                    

                                          
"I gotta get out of here!" I exclaimed in shock when the car came to a stop. Harry's words were ringing in my ears as I was fumbling with my seatbelt, finally undoing it. 
                          
I gripped onto the door, pressing random buttons and pulling the handle to unlock the truck door repeatedly, as nothing changed. "Open fùcking sesame!" I yelled while pushing my body against the door, hearing Harry let out a deep sigh and press a button before my door opened. This caused my body to fall out of the truck. 
                          
I let out a yelp, my body tumbling and landing on the soft and squishy forest ground. Groaning, I rubbed at my forehead that was covered in dirt. I looked up and around, surprised to find out that Harry and I weren't in the middle of the woods anymore. Rather, we were in a large open space with a cabin lining a serene lake. Birds chirped and I heard the sounds of nature as Harry's footsteps crunched against the twigs and random usual shít that's on the ground before he came to a stop beside me. My eyes took in the pretty scene of the cozy little cottage, my eyes widening in infatuation. 
                          
"Are you done?" He questioned patiently, his hands on his hips like an disapproved parent. 
                          
"Done? I haven't even started yet," I breathed out in a daze as I finally looked up at him from my spot on the ground, with excitement vibrant in my eyes. 
                          
"Get up," he smiled down at me finally as I shook my head and adamantly placed my face against the ground, spreading my arms out as if I was giving the ground a hug. 
                          
I had a thing for little getaways, even if they were in the middle of nowhere. 
                          
"No," I smiled against the ground, my voice a bit muffled. 
                          
I felt Harry grab my hips before he lifted me up and over his shoulder. I didn't even protest, dangling my head and arms carelessly with a dazed smile, looking at my surroundings from upside down. My hair had bits of grass and twigs stuck in it, despite the black ball hat on my head which was close to falling. I swayed with every one of Harry's steps. He set me down, on the porch of the small cabin. I continued smiling when he removed a twig and leaf from my hair with a face. 
                          
"Are you alright?" Harry questioned as I dropped my smile and looked at him in annoyance. "Like did you hit your head when you fell out or-" 
                          
"Harry," I scolded in an annoyed tone before a pleased grin took over my features. "I'm happy." 
                          
"Happy?" He questioned with his eyebrows furrowed. "It's okay, the doctors are only fifteen minutes away, Maria. You'll be okay, I promise-"
                          
I slapped a hand over his mouth, making his beautiful green eyes widen. "Shh, do you hear that?" I whispered, leaning forwards so that our faces were only inches apart as Harry shook his head against my hand. "It's the sound of Harry speaking bullshít fluently once again-" 
                          
He broke away from my hand as I let out a mischievous laugh. He grinned at me and shook his head, while I took in the beautiful scene again. This time, I noticed a large white screen in the middle of the scenery, surprised that I hadn't noticed it earlier. 
                          
"It's not my fault. One second you're like, 'Oh muh God, I hev to get out of heere, Harry is gonna kíll me, ya-da, ya-da, ya-da,'" Harry imitated a terrible American accent with a high-pitched voice. "Then the next second you're like, smiling and telling me you're happy and shít it's weird-" 
                          
"Where are we?" I questioned, cutting him off.  Harry smirked and stuck his arms out, motioned around him. 
                          
"We are in the middle of nowhere," he stated the obvious as I snorted, eying him.
