Enchanted Tale

Twenty Three: Waterfall

I woke up to a blanket wrapped around me. I knew that it was Harry who came out here to give this to me because it was the blanket that was on my bed, which he occupied. I didn't return it to him because I didn't fancy the idea of talking to him again. Instead I decided to take a trip back to the lake. I wanted to feel the chilling sensation of the water.

When I got there, I started to remove my clothes. I set them on the branch of a tree and tested the water with my foot. The water fall was exceptionally loud today. Because it was morning, the water was freezing, but because of my heated emotions it was a perfect balance. I slowly made my way into the water. I dipped my whole body into it then swam towards the waterfalls. The water wasn't too heavy falling on my head. I brushed my hair back. I was enjoying myself quite immensely.

That was until I felt another body against mine. I screamed and shot round to see Harry also enjoying the chilling water. I can honestly say I was more or less relieved to see him, than an unfamiliar face. I backed into one of the rocks trying to hide my bare body.

"W-What are you doing here!?" I asked shouting over the water.

"I should be asking you that! I was here first!" He retorted. His curls were over his eyes and he brushed them back to confirm that I was the one he was talking to.

"Never mind it doesn't matter. I was just leaving." I replied swimming away.

I almost made a full circle, when he grabbed my wrist and pulled me towards him. Pulling me back was so much easier to accomplish for him due to the water. My heart raced as I hoped he wouldn't try anything.

"I want you to listen and I want you to listen good!" He demanded, making his volume louder than the splashing water. "You mean everything to me and I'm not letting some stupid law come between us! I know that it'll be difficult to do but I will get that law revoked!"

"Harry..." I interrupted.

"No Elle! I know you don't believe so, but I'm going to do everything I can to be with you! Elle, I can't just pretend that my feelings for you aren't growing everyday! One of these days I'll be able to say that I love you, but I can't do that if you keep fighting me on it!"

I stopped his next sentence by grabbing his face and kissing him. My body was pressed against his because he wrapped both of his arms tightly around me. I didn't care that we were both bare nude. That didn't matter to me. His lips were salty, and feeling his tongue touch mine was a feeling unknown to me. I pursed my lips with his like he did the last time. I didn't know what was to come but I hoped that Harry did mean what he said. I wrapped my arms around his neck and held the back of his head with one hand. I constantly told myself to stop doing this but each thought was ignored. I eventually pulled away and put my hands on his shoulders. We were both breathing heavy.

"I want to be able to say I love you too." I panted.

His curls laid over his eyes and he smiled. He pushed closer to me kissing me again. This time quicker and just a few pecks.

When our hearts slowed their pace, I finally made the descion to get out.

"We should probably be going." I smiled.

He nodded and followed me out. I turned around before we reached the bank. "Don't look." I said keeping him back.

His face was questioning but he held a smirk. "What does that matter now?" He laughed.

"It's all the matter! Just don't look." I pleaded.

He laughed and turned around. I slowly swam away making sure he wasn't peeking. When he didn't I quickly made my way out. I grabbed my dress and turned to see him with his head slightly twisted. "Harry!" I shouted.
