*Still Flashback/Harry's POV*
"Charlie, love. Your marshmallow is on fire." I smirked, chuckling as she spazzed and quickly pulled it out then blew on it to put the fire out. Of course a pout made it's way onto her lips when she realized she charred her marshmallow for the second time.
"I hate camping." She muttered as she tossed the marshmallow into the fire next to the other one she burned just a few minutes ago.
"You're just not putting it in the right spot. Here." I grabbed her stick and put another marshmallow on it then knelt beside her chair, guiding her hands to place the marshmallow over the hot embers rather than the fire itself. "Now if you keep it here it'll cook slower, but it won't get burned as long as you keep turning it. It'll get all golden brown the way you like."
I finally look up at her after a moment of helping her turn the stick, finally realizing how close we were and the fact that my hands were on top of hers. We stared at each other for a few seconds until I cleared my throat and stood up, returning back to my seat.
"Thanks." She said softly as she watched the marshmallow intently to avoid looking at me or Jenna and Jason who were most likely grinning like usual every time something like that happened. I did the same and kept my eyes on her marshmallow as she slowly turned it until it got to a golden brown color, just how she loved it. I watched her face light up and a smile crept onto my lips as I returned my gaze to the fire.
~.:o:.~
Later that night we went to our tents, Jenna and Jason having gone to theirs much earlier than we did to do god knows what. After putting out the fire I got into the tent I was sharing with Charlie, seeing her curled up in her sleeping bag as she tried to sleep. I laid beside her, staring up at the ceiling of the tent for a little while until we heard certain noises coming from across the way at the other tent.
"I can't sleep with them going at it all night." Charlie groaned softly from beside me.
"You know we wouldn't even notice if we did the same thing." I smirked, laughing as her hand flew back to smack my chest. "I'm kidding, love. But I do have an idea. Come on."
I get up and grab a flashlight, turning it on before looking over at her after I got the tent door unzipped.
"Well come on then. Unless you want to stay here and listen to their moaning for who knows how long." I grinned, chuckling softly as she unzipped herself then followed me out.
The two of us walked down to the lake again and sat out on the dock, looking out at the water as the moon shined brightly down on it. I didn't even need the flashlight because it was so bright out. I take off my shoes then hang my feet over the edge so my feet were in the water which was thankfully still fairly warm from the sunny day we had. A smile made its way onto my face when I saw Charlie do the same, but she was a bit hesitant to stick her feet in due to the irrational fear of fish she had. I still have no idea how that came to be since she loved fishing and touching them when we were younger.
"Much more peaceful out here isn't it?" I asked her as I looked over at her.
"It is. You actually had a good idea for once." She teased, a soft smile forming on her face as well as she glanced over at me.
"Hey, I always have great ideas." I defended.
"Oh really? Like the time you tried to make a new dessert at the bakery and it exploded all over the oven?" She asked with a laugh.
"Okay, that was an accident and I had no idea that putting those things together would make it expand so much." I said, smiling as she laughed even more.
"Barbara was furious. I have never seen that woman so angry before. It was pretty funny to watch though." She giggled.
"Oh I bet it was just hilarious." I rolled my eyes playfully and reached down to flick some water at her.
"Hey, stop it." She squealed and splashed me back with her foot.
"Don't tempt me, woman." I warned her, only to see an evil smirk form on her lips.
The next thing I knew I was shoved off the dock into the water while she laughed hysterically, quickly pulling her feet up so I couldn't pull her in when I came up. However, I swam under the dock and quietly came up so she would think I was still under and I listened as her laughter slowly died down.
"Harry?" She called, grabbing the flashlight and looking around in the water for me. Her tone became a little more panicked as she called for me again and I heard her scramble to get up then a moment later she jumped in, grabbing the flashlight as she searched the water trying to look for me. It took her all of five seconds to turn around and see me under the bridge which made her scream and nearly drop the flashlight.
"Harry, you asshole! I thought you were drowning!" She yelled at me as she hit me in the arm with the flashlight.
"Ow. I'm sorry, okay? But you kind of did deserve it for pushing me in." I chuckled, only to get another hit from her.
"Alright give me the flashlight." I said as I moved towards her and grabbed it before she could hit me again. There was a small struggle and I finally got it away from her then set it up on the dock, pausing when I saw that her shirt and pants were sitting on the dock. I shine the flashlight back on her and smirk. "Did you seriously strip before saving me? That's ten seconds that could have been used to save me. Shame on you, Miss Gray." I teased.
"Shut up, Harry. I wasn't going to ruin my favorite outfit for you." She huffed and crossed her arms over her chest which was still covered by her pink bra. "Besides my phone was in my pocket."
"You're lucky I left mine up at the tent or else you would be done for." I chuckled and climbed out then decided to pull off my shirt and pants as well.
"What are you doing?" She asked, quickly looking away as I stripped down to my boxers.
"What? You did it. Might as well join you." He shrugged and jumped back in.
She rolled her eyes at me and I just smiled, subtly reaching my leg out to brush against hers which I knew would freak her out and it did. She jumped and immediately grabbed onto the dock.
"Something just touched me. If there's a fish over here I swear to god..." She tried grabbing the flashlight but I grabbed hold of her and pulled her over to me.
"There are no fish over here. Don't worry. Just come here. I'll keep the scary fishies away from you." I said in a baby voice which made her glare at me. "Okay, I'm being serious here. Just stay on my back and I'll make sure they don't get to you. I pinky swear."
I held up my pink to her and she stared at me for a moment then hooked her pinky with mine.
"You better." She mumbled as she allowed me to move her onto my back and she wrapped her arms around my neck, keeping her legs wrapped around my waist as we swam around for a bit. It was peaceful and I had to admit I liked having her close to me like this as we just talked about random things and enjoyed ourselves. Eventually we decided to get out and headed back up to the camp site, quickly changing our clothes. I let her change inside while I just changed outside the tent, but since Jenna and Jason were still going at it we decided to just grab our sleeping bags and headed back down to the dock. There was a nice patch of grass underneath next to it which made the perfect bed to sleep on. I laid down the extra blanket then laid down next to Charlie with our sleeping bags, looking up at the stars with her. It seemed a little quiet so I grabbed my phone and turned on some music for us to listen to while we laid there, slowly drifting off to sleep after a few minutes.
"Harry, I'm cold."
Her voice along with her finger poking my cheek woke me up and I sleepily looked over at her, simply unzipping my sleeping bag and holding it up for her. She fully unzipped hers and laid it over top of the one I was in then slipped into my sleeping bag beside me. She got situated in my arms and I sleepily placed a kiss on her forehead without thinking about it. I stayed awake for a while until she finally went to sleep, listening as the song switched in the background which I felt fit this situation perfectly. As I looked down at her sleeping face I realized right then that I was completely in love with her and it scared the hell out of me.
'Look at the stars... Look how they shine for you...'
