Camila POV:

We've been driving for an hour now and I'm convinced he's going to kill me. We're on a two way dirt road, no one in sight, all you can see out the window is land and trees. I've asked him so many times but he ignores me or starts cracking up because my pain in not knowing is hilarious for some reason. How dare he do this to me knowing I hate surprises.

I like knowing what's going to happen and what I can control in advance. I have severe anxiety and situations like this trigger my symptoms and I'll become depressed. It's a cycle I wish I didn't have to live through because it's exhausting.

Noticing my frigid state Sebastian puts his hand on my thigh and starts to rub back and forth. "Baby if I knew you'd be like this I wouldn't have done it. I'm really sorry, I didn't want you feeling this way I just wanted to make it special for you. I'll tell you where we're going if you really want to know so you can feel better."

I contemplate on agreeing with him to calm my nerves but then I think back to how he must have worked hard on this surprise and if me being surprised and happy makes him happy then I think I can handle the unknown.

I think.

Instead of answering his question I ask something else. "How long till we get there?"

I grab his hand with mine and intertwine our fingers. I start playing with his fingers and tracing his scars and lines on his palm.

"Fifteen more minutes and then the suspense is over I promise. I'll never do this again"

I sigh now feeling bad for being a bitch and having issues. "It's okay as long as the wait is worth it" I kiss his hand and look back out the window.

I wonder where he can be taking me that's so secluded.

We start driving by a small town and then we're on the dirt road. Ten minutes later, we arrive to a cottage in the middle of nowhere.

There's a white picket fence surrounding the house, and a long driveway. It's a white two story cottage with a red door and a small garage attached.

I look at him suspiciously "what is this?"

He shuts the car off once we're in the drive way, he opens his door and then gets out to open y door for me. He takes my hand and helps me out of the car.

"I booked us an Airbnb for the weekend. I wanted to surprise you so we can spend some time alone together without any interference of our roommates."

I look up at him. "That's really sweet of you. Did you already plan this out before last night?"

"Yes I did. We were never just friends and we both knew that. Besides I was going to ask you to be my girlfriend here but we got carried away last night and yeah now we're here and we have this place until Monday night. We have classes on Tuesday afternoon and don't worry I will take us back in time."

He put so much thought into this, no one has ever done something so romantic for me.

"Who would've thought you'd be so romantic" I tease him.

"Oh baby you don't even know I'm just getting started." He pecks my lips.

"Okay I grabbed us a few bags, Melanie helped pack a bag for you so hopefully it has everything you need plus the one you brought last night to the house with you."

"Sneaky sneaky sneaky" I laugh and shake my head. He opens the trunk and gets the bags. "Let's go inside"he says.

We walk up to the door of the cottage  and he opens it with a key pad. There's a code you have to insert since it's an Airbnb.
