Till I Met You (Ariana/You)

Chapter 41

~Y/N'S POV~

Everything was packed. The luggage were ready in the car. I wanted to clear my bladder so I went to the bathroom one last time. Apparently, the Camp site was hours away from here. So, it's going to be a long journey. Scott had ordered six pizzas just in case we get hungry along the way and don't see any restaurants. 

Stepping out of the bathroom, I saw Ariana closing the curtains and switching off the lights. She turned around to look at me. I gave her a smile and she pulled me towards her in an instant before crashing her lips on mine. Butterflies flew everywhere and tingles shot up my spine. "I love you." She muttered, pulling away. I grinned goofily.  Her thumb stroked my cheek softly. "I have something for you." She muttered and I looked at her curiously as I leaned in towards the touch of her hands. She pulled out a box from her skinny jeans pocket and my heart skipped a beat as I looked at it. She looked at me passionately, before opening the box.  It was a necklace. A beautiful one that matched the promise ring on my finger. It had the name 'Grande' in cursive letters on it. "I want you to take my last name whenever you are ready." 

My poor little heart. It was beating so fast.  I smiled, more like grinning and blushed as she placed the necklace around my neck. "I feel like you are not telling me something." I narrowed my eyes at her, before touching the necklace resting against my skin.  She rolled her eyes. "There will be a lot of men in the camp site and I want them to know you are mine." Her eyes shined a little with jealousy and I laughed before hugging her towards me. We kissed, a short and sweet one as Shira kept honking the car from below. 

Once inside the car, our seatbelts were buckled and we were off in the highway.  "Can we eat the Pizza now?" Shira asked from behind. Scott and Shira sat in the back. Well, Scott was sitting and Shira was lying on his lap as her legs dangled out of the car window. I rolled my eyes at her state.  "It has been only five minutes, baby." Scott answered her amusingly.  "But, I am hungry." Shira whined.  "Me too." I joined in with her as I felt my stomach rumble.  "There are some apples behind in the plastic bag. Eat them." Ariana answered as she drove around the roundabout.

Soon, I was devouring a green apple and fed some sliced apples to Ariana who gave me a warm smile.  Bored, I took out the Nikon camera and took pictures of everyone. We stopped at a petrol bunk for a small break and we took pictures there again. Scott was groaning and covering his face the entire time while Ariana just smiled amusingly at Shira and me as we gave weird poses. 

Around 12 pm, we had our Pizza and Shira was fast asleep on Scott's lap soon after that. From Scott's silence, he must have slept as well. I wanted to sleep so badly too, but I didn't want to leave Ariana alone. I folded my legs on the seat and looked out the window. As the car engine sung to the lone country roads, I relished the roaring winds that twirled in my long brown hair and whistled in my ears.  The smell of fresh rain hit my nose and I smiled, looking at the greenery that was increasing by the minute. I titled my head to look over at Ariana who was driving smoothly. Her head tilts slightly during every turn she makes. She flipped her long ponytail back behind her as she pulled the gear to a slower mode. I reached towards her and kissed her cheek softly.

She grinned at my action.  "I love you." I whispered, not wanting to wake the sleeping couple up. She smiled again, even wider this time.  "You don't know how it makes my heart feel whenever you say that." She said softly and turned the wheel to the left.  "I love you." I said again, before placing my palm against her heart. She chuckled amusingly at my action. Her heart was beating fast and I blushed, feeling ecstatic that I could make her feel this way.  "Woah!" Suddenly, Ariana exclaimed, her eyes widening before she slowly stopped the car until it came to a silent halt in the middle of the road. My eyes widened at the sudden action and I turned to look at the road.

There was a deer, right in the middle of the road, standing proudly as it looked around.  "Take a picture." Ariana whispered excitedly. I quickly took out the Nikon camera and took several pictures of the beautiful deer in front of me. I took a few with me and Ariana in the frame. The deer stared into the sky. It was young and healthy. It was caramel coloured with white dots all over the belly. It's antlers looked strong and huge. It's head turned around and it looked at us.  "It's looking at us." I squealed excitedly, and Ariana smiled before honking the car. The deer ran off into the forest in an instant.

  "Why did you do that?"  "Do you want to stay here and wait for more wild animals?" She asked sarcastically, and I pursed my lips, before rolling my eyes. The car engine roamed to life again and we were off on the never-ending ribbon like road. I looked at the pictures that we had taken and I felt excited all over again.  "You are like a cute child. So excited." Ariana said, looking at me with admiration and I giggled, before looking out of the window, wanting another encounter with a deer again. I looked at the green trees passing by that were twisted in ways reminding of the waves from the beach. There were some tall, short and thick trees.

I tried to look past the trees, wanting to see animals. But, they were surrounded by darkness.  Suddenly, a board passed, mentioning that the Camp site is near. My stomach tingled at the thought of meeting new people and doing great activities together. I rubbed my hands, feeling the cold wind on my skin. A dirt road came into view and Ariana turned into it. We were in the forest now and I couldn't be more excited. The Woodland was silent, though it was quieter than any city street for sure. It was peaceful and calming. There were birds above, calling, pecking for grubs. There was movement of mammals, mostly small, sometimes not.  After a few more turns, I could hear the faint sound of flowing water. The sound increased further and soon we met a green jeep in front us, going as the same route as us. After a few minutes, there were jeeps, range rovers and cars parked along the dirt road. Soon enough, a clearing came into view. A huge one and there were people walking here and there.  "We are here." Ariana said and parked the car in the shade of a small tree.
