Backfire | Harry Styles AU COMPLETED

Chapter Twenty Nine

"Will you please tell me where we're going?" I ask, dragging out my sentence in mock annoyance. Harry turns toward me and shakes his head, a smirk playing on his pink lips, "If I told you, then I'd have to kill you." I groan again making him laugh before turning back toward the quiet road.

We have been driving for a little while, thirty minutes at most and it has consisted of me complaining and Harry yelling at me to stop doing that, which resulted in more complaining. Yet, his large hand on my inner thigh is keeping me sane and I know that where he is taking me is going to be really special.

I hum along to the song on the radio, making him turn it up louder. The words flow from my mouth easily and memories of my parents and I singing at the top of our lungs reels in my mind. Harry joins in at the chorus, making me stop immediately so I can listen to how good his voice is. His mouth is parted and the veins in his neck are prominent as he reaches to hit the highest note. I rest against the back of the seat and close my eyes, letting his soothing voice fill the car.

"Don't fall asleep on me babe, we're almost there." Harry rubs his thumb against my leg and I sit up, looking out the window. The landscape is filled with what seems to be only trees. The large Range Rover is the only car I've seen in the past ten miles, meaning we must be in the middle of nowhere.

"You did come to kill me, didn't you?" I turn toward him with wide eyes and he winks at me, pressing his index finger to his lips in a mock horrifying way, but just ends up looking sexy.

The road underneath us becomes uneven and I grip Harry's hand in mine. The trees around us begin to thin and I squint my eyes to get a better view of everything. The car turns and I am now face to face with a large wooden cabin. The lights are on inside and I look at Harry with wide eyes.

"What's this?" I ask as I unbuckle my seatbelt and hurry out of the car. Harry scrambles behind me, wrapping his arm around my waist as we walk. The house sits on a hill over looking miles of trees, meaning that land belongs to his family.

Harry unlocks the door and I can't help the gasp that falls from my lips as I step inside. Luxurious is the first word I can think of as I look around. A large flat screen TV is mounted against the wall above the stone fireplace. White couches and a glass table sit in the center of the living room, which flows into a spacious kitchen containing all new appliances and a dark granite island outlining the cabinets.

"This is beautiful." I comment as I gaze at everything. My hands run across an old piano in the sunroom looking outside.

"We used to come here a lot during the summer. Gemma and I would ride our bikes down the street and have bonfires on the back deck, but once my parents got divorced we had no need for it." Harry informs me and I nod, taking in his words. I had no idea his parents were split, and I can't help but feel for him.

"Oh Harry, I'm sorry." My lips pout slightly but he shakes me off with a raise of his hand, "It was years ago, now come on I want to show you the rest." He grabs my hand and leads me up the steps and I widen my eyes as red petals guide us upstairs. I follow the path toward a bedroom and a small noise falls past my lips at the details in front of me. A large white bed fills the center of the room, thick pillows lining the head. Clear lights hang along the borders of the walls, lighting the room further. The balcony doors are cracked and I walk onto the deck to find a small box wrapped in silver paper.

"Harry did you do this?" I ask dumfounded, even though I know the answer is yes. A grin spreads across his face and I can't help but giggle at his joy.

"We aren't allowed to be seen together, so I decided to go to a place where we could be. No distractions or anything; Just you and I." My stomach flutters and I rush toward him, wrapping my arms around his neck tightly. He reaches under my legs, pulling them up around him as well so I am clutching him like a child. Once again I am blown away by this boy. He is anything anyone could ever want and I am so thankful.
