~~Friday Morning, L.A.~~

Lizzie POV

After the most amazing couple of days with Harley, I didn't want them stop ever. But knowing she is flying back to London on Sunday night, I suggested we go on a drive today and have a picnic somewhere in L.A. Unfortunatley, we don't have the Bike today so my car will have to do. Learning to ride the Bike yesterday was so exciting, but what came after I still can't explain. I have no idea what came over me, but seeing Harley's reaction was worth every second. It's a little scary how much I trust that girl. But I wouldn't have it any other way. The drive back was so relaxing, and when we got home we both seemed to be no where but with each other. I ran us a bath to share before we climbed into bed together and I feel asleep in her arms like every night. I never want to be apart from her, but I know sooner or later it will happen. I understand she wants to go to London to see her Dad and Maisie, as much as I will miss her, I know she is coming back to me. And I know she will be safe in London. I get so lost in my thoughts before I remember I have to finish packing up this food for today. Harley is getting dressed after having a quick shower so I decided to get the food ready and packed up for us. I make sure we have enough to keep us going, not knowing where we will end up today. As soon as I zip up the bag, I feel someone suddenly behind me, my body instantly relaxing into Harley's familiar touch as she wraps her arms around my waist and rests her chin on my shoulder gently. "Need any help beautiful?" Harley asks sweetly near my ear, sending shivers down my spine. "Everything is packed and ready to go Soldier." I whisper in reply, making her smile beside me. "Got some bottles of water?" She checks and I look down, seeming to have forgotten those. "That I don't have.." I admit sheepishly, making her chuckle softly beside me as I giggle with her. "I'll get some." She offers and I smile as I feel her leave a gentle kiss on my shoulder before she turns to get some water to pack in the bag.

I can't help but turn and watch Harley as she grabs some bottles of water, bringing them back in her hands. My eyes wander up and down her body, seeing her in some simple grey shorts and a white t-shirt. Something so simple but she looks incredible. I can't take my eyes away from her, not that I ever want too.. "See something you like?" Harley catches me staring, and instantly my cheeks blush in reply. "Very much so.." I let slip out, making her chuckle softly as she slowly comes back to where I am standing. "Cheeky." She teases, putting the bottles of water of the table. "Do you blame me when you look like that?" I tell her confidently, making her blush slightly this time. I can't help but giggle at her slightly flustered state as she distracts herself by packing the bottles away in the bag, zipping it up and putting it over her shoulder. "Shall we?" She finally composes herself, making me beam back up at her as I nod my head in reply. "We shall." I reply easily, making her grin as I follow her outside, locking up behind us as Harley goes to start the car since she is driving us today. I quickly join her in the car, getting comfortable then buckle in my seatbelt. "Where too baby?" Harley asks excitedly, making me giggle as I hold my hand out infront of her. "Hand me your phone, I'll put it in the maps for you." I tell her, knowing a quiet place with an amazing view we can sit and have our picnic at without getting bothered by the public. She easily hands her phone before she starts up the car as I link it up to the car and put in the address. Once it begins to give her some directions, I put her phone up on the dashboard and then chose a radio station to keep us entertained. "All set." I tell her, making her beam back at me as she puts the car in gear. "Alright, let's go." She grins as she leans over, giving me a quick kiss before she starts our drive.

Sitting and watching Harley drive is something I will never get tired of. The way she drives so effortlessly, one hand on the steering wheel as the other is resting up on the now open window, tapping along to the music playing softly into the car. She seems so relaxed behind the wheel, something behind her eyes telling me she gets lost in her thoughts as she keeps us both safe on the road. As much as I hate her wearing sunglasses, since they hide away her gorgeous eyes, she looks incredible today even with them on. My hand naturally finds the back of her neck as I rest my arm on her shoulder, my fingers scratching the back of neck like I have been doing since we met. Something about it brings her comfort, and I'm happy to keep touching her in anyway that I can. I've always physical touch my love language, and having Harley feel the same makes me feel like she will never get sick of me needing to be touching her in someway, anyway. And being here in this moment together, I never want this feeling to end. The calmness in this car right now is something I can't explain, but it's perfect. I end up sneaking some pictures of Harley as she drives, wanting to remember this moment. Seeing her like this, so relaxed and carefree. I end up getting lost in my own thoughts as I watch Harley drive, my fingers mindlessly tracing patterns at the back of her neck and over her shoulders. Then without even realising we are here, Harley pulls up to the side of the dirt road, the car facing out over the most beautiful view. She shuts off the engine and then sits back in her seat, seemingly taking a moment to herself before she suddenly turns to look at me with an adoring, loving look in her eyes. "I hope you got my good side in those not so subtle pictures you took of me.." Harley teases and instantly my cheeks heat up at her words. How did she-? "I um.. I-You don't have a bad side baby." I manage to recover, making her grin in reply as chuckles softly and reaches over for my hand. "Good save gorgeous, but your not very subtle." She teases, and my cheeks are on fire under her intense dark eyes.
