Chapter 28
Quesoftheday: Do you find any personality match between you and Snow Clifford? What's that?
"We're here! Too many people in a small world!" Harry frowns after parking his car on a side.
I look around excitedly climbing out of the car. The place is full of people and everyone is quite busy with something. I see many of them are trying hard to build colorful tents. A group of people are trying to set grills and cookers in a corner. There is a big lake on the left and some people are riding boat there or kissing like it's a room. The whole place is holding a festive look.
"Isn't it great?" I tell clapping and jumping, earning a big frown from Harry.
"Here comes the wrinkled Lime." Hearing Harry I look at the direction he's looking at and my eyes pop up looking at the person with Liam.
"Zayn?" I get surprised to watch him in the camp. Wasn't he supposed to leave to see his family?
"Hi Snow! Oh Hi harry." Zayn smiles looking at me and then nervously looking at Harry.
"I thought you were not coming." I say more like a question looking at Zayn.
"That's a huge story Snow." He laughs taking his tongue between his teeth. "My mum lied about her broken ankle because she thought I'll not come to visit her unless she lies about her health. But when she got to know that her sacrificing son is coming to see her instead of going to the camp, then she told me to come after it. I was a little bit angry with her for an hour maybe but gave up when she told that she'll be making chicken samosas for me when I'll go there." He chuckles and I laugh hearing his long story.
"Such a cute family you're blessed with Zayn." I smile looking down, obviously hearing this cute stories make me sad, they do.
"Let's go guys. Zayn and I have built a tent already to stay. So you and Harry........"
"Hi buddies! Hi Snow!" Liam is cut off by the sudden appearance of Ashley and in a moment I'm hugged tightly by her.
"Hi Ash! You look stunning!" I tell looking at her pink floral tank top and red shorts.
"Awwww! Thank you baby!" She coos and then looks at Harry.
"Look who's glittering the camp?" She smirks dramatically going near Harry, running her index finger on his forearm.
"You could say it from standing there too." Harry rolls his eyes shoving her finger away.
"Woah! Calm down! I just wanted to see how much red someone's cheeks can get in anger." Ashley laughs and then looks at me. "And now I know I can touch everyone but you Harry."
I look away from Ashley and try to get busy with my phone. What does she mean? I stop pecking my nails which I was doing unconsciously.
"So Snow you're staying with me and my friends, in our camp okay? No arguements! Please please please please please!" She coos dramatically making a puppy face and I look at Harry.
"Don't look at him! Boys and girls can't stay together! Camp rules!" Ashley tells in one breathe tilting her ponytail.
"Disgusting rules which isn't even applied at dorm?" Harry sighs and I control my laughter somehow watching his face.
"Don't worry pal. You can stay in our camp." Zayn shrugs his shoulders and Harry forcefully smiles looking at him.
Liam and Harry in the same tent? Damn!
"Okay, no problem." Harry surprises me by his sudden positive answer.
I look at him surprisingly and the smirk over his lips sends a shiver throughout my whole body. What is he planning to do? Telling Liam about us? Telling Liam about our weird friendship?
"Let's go Snow! We've to build our tent. I've ordered a pink one especially for us and..........." Ashley keeps blabbering beside me but my eyes are on Harry.
He's staring at me still now, with a sad or tired smile tucking on his lips. No cunningness, no rudeness in his eyes. I notice something else in his eyes, something I've never seen in his eyes.
"Snow! I'm talking to you Miss!" Ashley's waving hands snap me out from my own world.
"Oh yeah! Let's go!" I smile and Ashley starts blabbering again about things, leading me somewhere by grabbing my hand.
"You know what I really don't know how to build a tent, do you know how to build a tent?" Ashley asks and stops walking all of a sudden.
"No." I reply blankly, trying to find a very particular tattooed skin.
"Don't worry, the instruction is written there. We'll make it altogether." She tells smiling.
We walk to a place where many girls and boys are trying to build a tent. I see Harry and Zayn in front of a blue one and a smile tucks on my lips watching them together. They're gossiping about something maybe, Zayn is laughing and Harry is telling him something pointing to his hair. Suddenly Harry's eyes fall on me and he smiles looking at me, waving his hand. I smile back and then look Ashley coming towards me with some sticks.
"Here is the instruction book." She passes me a small book.
After reading the book carefully, Ashley, I and her two friends - Scarlet and Skylar finally succeed to make our tent. It's really a big one and pretty large for four girls.
"Hi ladies! Nice tent huh?" Harry's voice makes me to look at him and I discover Zayn and Liam with him.
"Yeah we've made it for the first time." I tell smiling with a proud voice.
"You have left a proof of that." Harry chuckles and leans closer to me. I get nervous for a moment when his fingers reach my cheeks and he rubs his thumb beside my lips. "Dust, you may have allergy later." He whispers and I smile faintly. Why he's acting so nice to me without any interruption?
"So do we have to prepare the lunch by ourselves? I can't cook guys!" Zayn tells rising up his hands in the air.
"Yeah! Zayn can cook, only inside his tummy." Liam tells and we all laugh.
"Yes, we've to prepare the lunch by ourselves. I've put everyone in a group and every group contains six to seven members. So we can easily make a group and work altogether." Ashley tells looking at all of us wiggling her eyebrows.
"Yeah! That'd be great." I tell excitedly and smile looking at all.
Finally we walk towards the tables where everyone is getting confused about what to cook. Some people are doing it very smoothly as they're professional cook and some are just messing around, unsure of what to do.
"I can make any kind of pizza, better than Pizza Hut or domino's I challenge" Harry makes us all to look at him.
"Oh God! What else we need if we have such a great cook with us here." Zayn tells dramatically looking at him and pats his shoulders. Harry chuckles and puts his arm around Zayn's shoulder.
Ashley instructs us what to do and I'm instructed to make the dough for pizza base. Liam stands beside me for chopping the things we need.
"Don't add so much water." Liam grabs my wrist to stop me from pouring more water in the bowl.
"Thanks, I'm new to this cooking measurement." I smile and he smiles too.
I start to make the dough and suddenly something start to burn my eyes. I close my eyes when teardrops start to fall from my eyes.
"Ugh!" I groan rubbing my hands against my closed eyes.
"What happened Snow!" I feel Liam's hands cupping my cheeks.
"Onions I guess." I tell not moving my hands up from my eyes.
"Oh no! I didn't know you're so allergic to onions." Liam tells and I feel a hand over my shoulder.
"Snow? Listen to me." I turn around hearing Harry's voice. "I'll hold cold water in my hand and you'll try to blink in it, okay?" He tells.
"I can't even open my eyes Harry." I sniffle.
"You'd be able to in water, just do as I say or I'd pull you to the pond instead of my handful of water."
I don't know what he's going to do but I know he'll get me out of this, like he always does when I'm in trouble. I feel the most familiar warmth against the skin of my cheeks and I do as I was instructed a while ago. I try to blink a few times in the water and then finally succeed to open my eyes.
"Oh, look at you. Your face has become so red." I see Zayn in front of me with my blurry vision.
"Drink it." Harry pours me a glass of water and I drink it.
"Are you allergic to onions? I'm sorry Snow." Liam tells, I intend to say something but am stopped by harry.
"Onions bring tears to most of the people, specially girls Lime.......Liam." Harry tells boldly, causing Liam to look at him without uttering a word.
"I know but I didn't know that it'll cause such a huge problem to her." Liam tells and Harry pretends he is not hearing him.
"Let me take you back to your tent, we'll handle the rest." Harry tells putting his hands on my shoulders.
"No, it's okey. I'm fine now." I smile looking at him.
"Are you sure?" Harry asks raising his eyebrow and I smile again, nodding.
Patting on my shoulder, Harry walks to the oven and everyone goes back to work. Liam tells me again that he's sorry and I say he really hasn't to be sorry for nothing. It was just a normal issue.
"But Harry didn't act like it was a normal issue." Ashley winks while passing by me with the chopping board in her hands.
"He seems so protective around you." Liam tells looking at Harry.
"Yeah, he has a kind heart actually but he never shows that." I smile proudly looking at a busy Harry.
He looks really cute with the apron and those spoons in his hand. I see him sticking up his own here being confused with a spatula in his hand. Harry the cook, I really never imagined about that. Has he changed? Or the way I look at him has changed? I need to find the answer by myself.
After cooking we finally set up our lunch table with chicken pan pizzas, meat balls and fries. Zayn has made a drink called lassi for all of us. He said it's usually made in his house during family parties or celebrations.
"I've never tasted any Asian traditional drink before but it seems really tasty Zayn. Thanks." I tell taking the last sip of my drink.
"Most welcome. You should visit my family then during any traditional celebration. My mom can cook many Asian food." He chuckles.
"Next time for sure. I love to taste new food." I smile and he smiles back his signature smile.
After finishing the lunch, we walk to a place where everyone has been told to go. I notice Ashley telling something to everyone. She's telling about the bonfire tonight.
"Wow bonfire!" I jump excitedly and clap my hands looking at Liam.
I stop clapping when I see Harry staring at me with a huge smirk over his face.
"Yeah bonfire, too many memories," He tells looking at me intensely. "It's gonna be a great night man." He looks at Zayn and they both puts their hand on each other's shoulders.
***
"I can't resist the fire inside me anymore Snow." He tells before pulling his t-shirt over his head, causing me to breathe faster watching his half naked torso in this fire burn night.
***
"Woo-hoo my Alice in Wonderland! Go and get ready for the bonfire before more memories start to haunt you." Harry's sarcastic smile shoves me out of the past memories I was drowning a while ago.
Memories, Good past memories turn into the bad ones when they are haunting present and making you indecisive about future.
