Chapter 30

[RILEY]

Six hours has passed and nothing exciting has happened other than us stopping at McDonalds for breakfast and driving down the never ending highway to find the cheapest hotel possible.

Harry has loosened up a bit. He's not as angry as we was before. About two hours ago we quickly drove back to the camp site and grabbed all of our luggage and camp equipment. Harry suggested if I wanted to just stay here and continue with our camping trip but I chickened out because I am still too fearful that that bear might show up again.

I've been staring out the window in the darkness for the past 10 minutes. I watch as several cars pass by. The headlights of each car shine against the dark shimmering road. It looks satisfying to the eye but emptying to the heart.

As I watch everything around me I think to myself of what I should be doing right now to make this never ending car ride more interesting.

I grab my phone and search for people to text. I think about texting just Kurt individually but I feel it's best if I include Jessica on this little conversation.

Me: hey guys

It takes a couple of minutes for someone to reply.

Kurt: how the hell are you getting service, aren't you like in the middle of the woods?

Me: our campsite got attacked by a bear so we fled.

Me: now we're looking for a hotel to stay at for the next 4 days

Kurt: wow, Jesus, a lot happens in that short time being, did you get pregnant yet?

Me: really Kurt...

Jessica: happy birthday Riley, Kurt is too much of an ass-hole to remember

Kurt: are you kidding me, I'm her best friend, of course I remembered her birthday

Kurt: we were just in the middle of something so I never got across to say it

Jessica: yeah sure you did

Me: lol thanks Jess, you're an ass-hole Kurt

Kurt: ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!

Kurt: YOU REALLY THINK I DIDN'T REMEMBER YOUR BIRTHDAY?!

Me: never said that...

Kurt: THIS IS AN OUTRAGE! I'M YOUR BEST FR-

Kurt: oh...

Me: smh

Me: I think Harry is mad at me

Me: he hasn't really spoken to me throughout this whole car ride

Jessica: good, it's about time you too get some separation

Kurt: shove a sock down your throat Jess

Kurt: anyway, just let the anger slide off his shoulder, he'll start talking sooner or later

Me: thanks, you may or may not be right

Jessica: he's not right, I suggest you jump out the car and find and uber or taxi cab to bring you home

Kurt: STFU JESS!

Me: you guys are so unhelpful, bye

I drop my phone and ignore any text that come through. I look over at Harry who still has his eyebrows slightly furrowed. My eyes droop a little as I see his expression. When ever he's not in the happiest mood, I'm not either. It makes me depressed and aggravated. I strongly dislike it.

I watch as his eyes are darted straight at the road ahead. One hand is gripping the steering wheel, the other is laying on the storage compartment.

I look at his pale slender like fingers. I'm hoping that he will have a good reaction to what I'm about to do.

I place my hand on top of his and intertwine our fingers. He looks down at our hands and up at me. I watch as his lust green eyes sparkle in the moonlight.

He gives me a look for a couple of seconds then looks back at the road without letting go of my hand.

"Harry," I begin. He looks back over at me slightly.

"What?" He says calmly.

"I'm sorry," I begin. "And I mean it this time."

I watch as he tightens his grip on both the steering wheel and my hand. He lets out a big sigh then looks at me with apologetic eyes.

"You shouldn't be sorry, I should be. I got angry at you for no reason." He says calmly.

"We're both sorry." I say while gripping his hand tighter. He looks at me with passionate eyes then at the road and back at me again.

He leans over just enough to plant a small lust filled kiss on my lips. I smile as his lips touch mine.

"I love you." He says as he pulls away.

"I love you too." I say as I look at the road a head.

As I watch the road I think to myself about something that I'm missing, a mis-read message or perhaps something that went completely over my head.

I struggle to think and process. I look around the car and think perhaps I had forgotten something at the campsite, but nothing comes to mind.

My mind jogs in circles as I try to put the pieces together of what I'm missing. I look back down at Harry's slender fingers wrapped up in mine then my eyes bulge when it hits me.

He just dropped the L-bomb. THE L BOMB! He told me he loved me. What the fuck! How did I not notice this at first? I'm not sure if he ever told me that before. If he had, I was completely un-aware of it. And what's worse, I didn't even notice that I said it back! I knew I loved Harry, but I never thought I would have to tell him that so early in our relationship.

I look over at Harry who seems completely calm and doesn't even notice that he told me he loved me. Maybe that means he really meant it. Then my abstract thought came to an end once Harold the Great opened his mouth.

"Looks like we're here." He says as he pulls into the parking lot of a very big hotel. I struggle to read the sign of the hotel. Then I think to myself that I don't even care about what hotel it is. Just as long as I'm with Harry, I'll be fine.

"That was a very long drive." I say.

"Now we're in Toronto and we'll be leaving in a few days I think."

"Yay!" I say with very little enthusiasm.

"I'll order a hole desert buffet for your birthday tonight." Harry says.

"Please don't." I say.

"Yup, we are." He says as he grabs our luggage and walks into the hotel.
