Moments (A Harry Styles Fanfic)

Chapter 16: The Cottage

HARRY'S POV

"Emma, are you sure you know where you're going?" I asked wearily, questioning our surroundings. fields, woods, occasionally a farm house here and there.

"Harry, I've drove to this house so many times I could probably do it with my eyes closed." she reassured me

"Were in the middle of no where." I argued

"Just shut up and turn on the radio." she laughed

I reached over and turned the radio on. I gently hummed along to a couple songs before finally, she turned and drove down a long driveway in the woods.

Suddenly, the trees opened up and in a small clearing sat a tiny cottage. It had a short rock fence surrounding it, the entire perimeter of the cottage was lined with carefully tended to gardens. She got out of the car, ad walked towards the house. I got out and followed her.Birds chirped happily in the trees surrounding us. The sun shone down hot on my back as I followed her into the gate.

"This is beautiful." I said, continuing along the short path to the door

"Thank you" she smiled over her shoulder, unlocking the door. As soon as the door opened I heard a loud, booming bark and thundering footsteps. A huge dark colored dog turned the corner and jumped up on me. The dog's paws rested on my shoulders as it licked my face.

 "Down, Atticus" Emma laughed

The dog quickly obeyed and rolled over on its back. Emma bent down and scratched its belly, "Good, boy." she cooed, "Sorry Harry." she chuckled, standing back up, "I guess I should have warned you about him."

"That would have been appreciated." I laughed, wiping slobber from my face

"Come on." she said, taking my hand and gently pulling me down the hall. We walked through a tiny living room and through two French doors. We walked out on a small patio, and stood before a large in-ground pool. She removed her tank top and shorts, revealing her floral bikini beneath them. I looked her over and a grin spread across my lips. 

She rolled her eyes, "Are you coming? Off with the shirt!"

I now understood why she had me put on my swim trunks before we left. I smiled and pulled my shirt over my head. I kicked my shoes off and ran into the pool, diving in with a splash. When I surfaced Emma was climbing in through the ladder. 

 We swam for hours, and now it was pitch black outside.

  Emma sat over at the edge of the pool. Swam over and wrapped my arms around her waist and pulled her in, she squealed as she was plunged into the chill water. She wrapped her legs around my waist and her arms around my neck in attempt to stay out of the cold water.

I cheekily grinned at her and chuckled, "You'll never get used to the water if your clinging to me like this" I paused, "Not that I mind." I said, winking.

Emma giggled and her legs tightened around me. I kissed her wet nose and stared into her green eyes. Her long, thick eyelashes batted at me as droplets dripped from them. "You're jsut too pretty." i said lightly

She rolled her eyes, "You must be blind, Harold." she said, poking my chest

I ignored her comment and plopped her into the water, "What was that for?!" she shrieked, climbing back around me

"For saying that you aren't pretty." I said plainly

"But I'm not!!" she laughed

I let her slip back into the water and she shrieked again, "Okay! I'm pretty, I'm pretty! I'm the most beautiful girl in the world."

I smiled in amusement, "That's more like it, babe." I noticed the goosebumps that had risen on her skin, "We should go inside before you freeze"

I pulled myself up the edge of the pool and took Emma's hand, helping her out. I picked up her pink beach towel laying on the lawn chair and wrapped her in it. We walked in the doors, Atticus greeted us, wagging his tail happily.

I scratched his head and led Emma to the couch. I flicked on the T.V., and almost immediately, Emma was snuggled against my arm fast asleep.

I smiled down at her before I laid my head down and drifted to sleep.

Hi:)
