WILLOW'S POV

"There's my beautiful girlfriend."Henry said with a whistle as he strolled into my room.

"Your girlfriend is busy and could actually use some help, so grab a box and start packing."I replied shoving a box into his arms.

Instead of doing as I'd asked, Henry tossed the box aside and pulled me into his arms.

"Baby we really don't have time for this right now. I need to finish packing our rooms and start figuring out where we're going."I demanded trying to pull away but Henry was not having it as he tightened his arms around me.

"There's always time for a hug and you've been working all day, time to take a break."Henry countered.

"I'll take a break when I'm done here."I sighed.

As much as I didn't was to admit it, Henry was right and I was indeed tired. I had been working all day, getting us ready for our big move. It seemed like in one year we had doubled our belongings so it was taking a lot longer to pack that it had been to unpack.

"Sit down with me for a few minutes and I promise you I'll let you get back to it after you take a short break."Henry proposed.

I didn't have the energy to fight him so I just relaxed and let him pull me down on the bed next to him. My room was a mess with boxes, clothes and shoes all over and even if I was tired I knew it would be worth it in the end.

"Where have you been all day?"I asked Henry realizing it was the first time seeing him since morning.

After the more than revealing goodbye we'd said to his family we'd gone out for dinner and a movie before coming back home. We'd watched another movie before passing out on the bed. I had woken Henry up with morning sex and breakfast in bed to console him for his terrible family before I got packing. He had left with some excuse about the arcade but other than that I hadn't seen or heard from him all day.

"I went to get you a surprise."He answered.

"But I don't like surprises."I reminded him.

"I know but you will love this one."He assured me.

"I doubt it but it's nice of you to try. So where is it? Can I see it?"I inquired.

"You'll see it soon but before we do I've got to tell you something first."Henry replied.

"I'm all ears."

Henry took a deep breath before taking my hands in his and maintained eye contact.

"When you and I agreed to move away together we never really talked about where we wanted to go. We're also not sure about joining college for now which is okay. So I got to thinking of how you and I have life a sheltered life since birth. We're now finally done with highschool and have the chance to live our own lives. Why don't you and I take a gap year and travel around the country. We can even go overseas if you want. Charlie can come too and we'll homeschool him for that one year."Henry suggested laying it all out there.

"You want us to travel for a whole year?"I asked trying to wrap my head what he was suggesting.

"Yeah, it will only be the three of us on the road. It's going to be fun so please don't say no."Henry pleaded looking at me with those electric blue eyes that I loved so much.

What he was suggesting wasn't crazy and we did love to travel plus neither of us wanted to go to school right away. Charlie would love being home schooled as we travelled. It was a good idea and I really didn't need to worry about the money. Henry would not have suggested that if he didn't have it all planned out.
