I wake up from a bright light and when my eyes open, Harry and I are laying on the large, red rug with the table moved aside. There's a thick blanket around us. He was laying on his back and one of his arms lay across his face; covering his eyes and his other hand, on top of the sheets at his side.
I turn my head to look in front of me and I spy a small pillow a couple inches away. I grab it and shove it slowly under my head. I close my eyes.
Why did I give in to him? Why?
Suddenly, I hear him shift closer to me and an arm goes around my waist. I feel his chest against my back and it makes me feel warm. I hear his quiet breath and it makes me want to go to sleep.
"Morning Love."
He lazily says and I mumble something softly to myself.
"Get dressed, I want to show you something."
He whispers and I grab my clothes in a small pile next to me.

We walk out into the cold weather and he opens the car door for me. I sit in the leathery seat and cross my legs. My eyes follow him; walking around the front of the car and opening the door to sit in the driver's seat.
The engine turns on with a roar and we take off in a flash.
He drove out of the driveway and onto the street, then he took a left onto a narrow road.
"Where are we going?"
I ask, but he doesn't say anything. He doesn't take his eyes off of the road, as if I wasn't here. After a few minutes of twisty back roads, he takes a quick right and began driving on a crooked dirt road. Then we drive up a large hill and once we get to the top, I couldn't believe my eyes. I have never seen something this peaceful and...I can barely find the words to describe it. It's a huge vineyard

"Wow"
I whisper and a smile comes upon my face
"Yeah"
he responds and I turn to look at him.
"Why did you bring me here?"
I ask in curiosity and as he turns his head slowly to look at me, I could see the reflection from the sun in his eyes.
"I come up here sometimes to escape the noise."
Harry replies. There was a short pause
"Spend the day with me."
He suggests
"I have to meet Maria later."
I say truthfully and his face turns serious
"Where?"
He asks, but I don't want to tell him. There is a short pause and I could feel him staring at me. I could tell he was getting impatient.
"Tell me"
he quietly demands, but I say nothing. I glance at the door handle and suddenly I reach for it. His hand slams down on the lock button beside him and I get a sudden chill. My heart began to jump in my chest.
"Careful, love"
He says in a tone of protection and I stay quiet. He started the engine and the car backs away from the view. Once we turned around, the beautiful field disappeared; fading in the distance.
Once we get onto the main road again, the car makes a loud THUMP noise and Harry was forced to pull over to the side.
I hear him mumble under his breath and he turns the engine off.
