Weekend Away
(Tumblr)
"God, you don't even know what you're doing." You shook your head, laughing at your boyfriend, who was currently kneeling on the dirt trying to pretend like he knew how to put up a tent. His tongue was sticking out of his mouth in concentration, and you laughed at his stubbornness.
Trevor had promised the two of you a weekend away, where you wouldn't have to worry about paparazzi or his friends and fans or anything else. It would be you, him, and the earth. Naturally, you thought he was kidding at first. Trevor was not the outdoorsy type. He preferred ordering pizza and takeaway to foraging and hunting and playing video games to hiking. He wasn't much for physical effort, so to see that he'd put so much into this camping trip for the two of you, you were surprised.
"Well, do you? Because if so, feel free to interrupt me at any time and help out." He snapped sassily, flipping through the instructions while holding a peg in his mouth, since his hands were full
"Sorry," You giggled, you hand flying to your mouth.
In all honesty, you were happy he'd planned this out for you. There were times where he certainly wasn't the most attentive of boyfriends, whether it be the new video game he'd bought for himself or the song he was currently writing. You really couldn't blame him, his every moment should not be spent on you. But it was nice of him to plan this weekend out, to want to spend time with you without any sort of distractions. Although, you did miss your bed, quite frankly. There was nothing like warm fluffy covers and unnecessary amount of pillows that consumed your shared bed.
"Hah! Look! I got it." He proudly proclaimed, standing up and parading around his mediocre tent like a model showing off a new car. It looked fragile.
"Are you sure we can both fit in it?" You laughed, looking at it.
"We're going to, because goddamn it I worked hard on this piece of shit." He walked over to you, draping an arm around your shoulder. "See? I told you, babe. We've totally got this camping thing down. We're pretty much experts."
"Really?" You laughed.
"Yeah. Now, how about we try out the tent?" He smiled coyly down at you, clearly stating his intentions. You rolled your eyes and smacked his arm.
"Trevor you promised we'd go on a hike together." You stated.
"I most definitely did not promise that." He shook his head. "Why would I promise that? No."
"Please, Trev?" You pouted. "It's just two kilometres, up to the waterfall." He groaned in response. "It'll be really pretty..." You continued. "For me? Please?"
"Fine, fine." He sighed. "But if I get bitten by mosquitoes -" He started.
"I'll fix you up." You promised, taking his hand and leading away while ignoring a comment he made about you being his personal nurse.
The hike started off on a hill, much to Trevor's dismay. He groaned as his hand latched on to yours, you forcibly pulling him up the steep rise. He complained for a little while, before shutting up somewhere along the way. The trail was beautiful. Green vegetation all around, moss covered trees and a few patches of intricate flowers.
Trevor was mainly quiet, save for a few comments about his "extensive" knowledge of nature, like pointing out which way was north based on the moss on the trees and if the plants on the edge of the trail were poison ivy or not.
"Wow, you just know everything about nature, don't you?" You snorted as you continued to lead up the path.
"Yeah, pretty much. I mean, look at me. Don't I seem like a completely qualified expert to you?" He teased, throwing an arm over your shoulder as he caught up to your pace. "Are we almost there?" He added.
"Yeah," You responded. In all honesty, you weren't sure how far away you were, until you heard the sound of rushing water.
You walked a few metres further and there, in front of you, sat a gorgeous waterfall, sitting atop a deep, luscious lagoon.
"Wow," You muttered. Water rushed and cascaded down the waterfall and split ways, one going left and one going right. A crossroads. Flowers were all along the watered riverside, and a few deer were drinking at the water before being startled by the two of you and scampering away. Frogs and crickets could be heard from anywhere within earshot, and grass and cattails swayed in the wind. You'd never seen grass so green or water so blue. Better yet, there was no one around for you to have to share the view with. It was just the two of you and the beautiful waterfall, the gorgeous elegance of the water and the soft grass and dirt moisturised by it.
"It's alright, I guess." Trevor shrugged, a laugh behind his tone. You looked to him.
"So is your face."
"Alright, that was completely uncalled for." He laughed, taking his revenge by tickling you all along your sides. You laughed until your stomach hurt, and you pushed him away. The two of you had somehow ended up on the grass. Trevor was on top of you, making suggestive faces at you before you laughed and pushed him away.
"Look around you," You gasped. "Look at this."
"Sorry, I was captivated by this beautiful sight in front of me." He winked.
"Smooth." You laughed.
Silence enveloped over the two of you, but nothing really needed to be said. He held you tight as you watched the sun go down. The reflection of pink, orange, and yellow on the water and the sound of hushed whispers of the outdoors surrounded you.
"Who's the best boyfriend ever?" Trevor whispered in your ear.
"You..." You smiled, leaning into his chest. He kissed your neck, leaving little tingles like little bells everywhere his lips touched his songs.
"Don't you forget it."
