Chapter 7
Sabine's P.O.V
Since Veterans Day was coming up with a three day weekend ahead, I was ready for it. Most of all, I was going to be spending a good amount of it with my awesome boyfriend. We decided to go out camping just the two of us after school today, and he was going to be taking us to the campsite. He just got a driver's license two days ago, which meant that it was going to be nice to spend my time with him on the road. Yesterday, he did say that his dad was getting him his first car, and I was ready to see what it was. He wouldn't tell me what it was, which makes me think that it's a surprise.
I was getting my stuff together for the trip in my room, packing my backpack with additional clothes, snacks, my sleeping bag and pillow, and my phone charger. I was getting the last of my stuff when I heard my mom come in my room. "You got everything, dear?" she asked.
"I do." I said after performing a quick double check. "I'm so ready for this."
"I'm sure you are, dear." My smile faded to worry. "Sabine, is everything okay?"
I sighed. "Mom, I'm worried about how dad will react if he sees Ezra again. I told him of our plans, and we had a whole fight about it again while you were at work yesterday. I don't want to get into another fight with my boyfriend present."
"I know, and your father is a difficult man sometimes."
"More like all the time."
"I know. Just, have fun on your trip, and don't worry about him."
"I'll try. Ezra just texted me. He's here."
"Have fun, dear. I love you."
"Love you too, mom."
I headed downstairs, only to be met by dad, blocking the door. "What?" I said. He didn't respond and continued glaring at me. "Look, if you have a problem with me and Ezra spending our entire three day weekend together, then too bad, dad!"
"I do, and you know that he's a bad person for you."
"God, if we are having this conversation again, I am not repeating it!"
"Sabine, I would advise you to not leave this house."
"Why? Oh yeah. Because you have a problem clearly over the fact that you can't just accept your own daughter dating a guy who you don't see her dating in your vision!"
"Sabine, tune your voice down right now."
"Then let me get out of the house and spend my three day weekend with my boyfriend."
"No, and you will listen to your father."
"I don't have to since mom did say I could go, and she was cool with it, unlike you."
"Sabine, listen to your father before you get grounded!"
"Gregg, don't start please!"
"Bo, mind your own business!"
Great, just what I needed when I was about to head out on my trip. "You know what, I'm going while you two fight about your own daughter dating someone! Bye now!"
I left via the door to the backyard, and walked through the driveway. Just when I was in front of my house, I saw Ezra, and he was in a nice looking ride if I do say so myself. His new car was an orange Audi. For his first car, I actually kinda like it. He waved to me from inside his new ride. I returned the gesture and hopped in, throwing my backpack in the back.
"Well, what do you think, babe?" he asked.
"This is nice, I like it." I answered, buckling up.
"You ready, Sabine?"
"Totally."
He drove us away from my house, driving through the neighborhood until we got on the highway, heading up north to the campsite.
"So?" Ezra asked.
"So?" I responded.
"How do you like this thing on the road?"
"It's a nice car, I'll give ya that. How much was this thing anyway, if you don't mind me asking."
"This Audi A4 is older, a 2011 version. This one's used, so it's about $9,000 in total, which was actually cheaper compared to its original price."
"Damn."
"I know, but if it means your parents getting it for you as a surprise for getting your license, count me in."
"Right. Any reason as to why you picked this color?"
"Sabine, you know me well enough at this point." We both laughed.
For the next hour or two of the drive, we talked about various things to pass the time, and listened to the radio. After about 2 and a half total driving hours, we arrived at the campsite, Ezra parking his ride. We got out and took our stuff out with us, about to set up our tent that he brought. This tent was a two person tent, and I smirked at him when I saw the color, his color. "Color preferences, huh?" I asked.
"You could say that." Ezra answered, smirking. I pulled him in and kissed him lightly on the lips, then we went back to setting up the tent. After about five minutes, which went by pretty fast actually, the tent was set up. Once it was set up, we went inside and set up our sleeping bags. Mine was painted in various colors and designs by me, while Ezra's was checkered blue (and not orange for once). I thought it was nice since it went well with his blue eyes. "So, what now?" he asked.
"Well, it is only 6 pm right now." I answered. "You hungry?"
"Not now. You?"
I smirked before saying, "Maybe later we'll get some food. But now, we have plenty of time to ourselves." We crawled into our sleeping bags, both of them partially unzipped.
Ezra smiled. "Do we now?"
"Indeed we do. Come here, you." I pulled him in for a kiss, which was passionate. He returned the kiss. I felt his tongue touch my bottom lip, asking for an entrance, which I granted. Our tongues fought for dominance inside our mouths like crazy, with him winning in the end. After he beat me, we broke apart to breathe. "This trip is going to be great."
"It is, especially since I have you with me. I love you, Sabine." He pulled me in for another kiss. We broke apart after thirty seconds.
"I love you too." We kissed again, me getting on top of him as our makeout became more and more passionate as the seconds went by. After about two minutes of nothing but our passion being shared amongst ourselves, we broke away to breathe. I got off of my boyfriend and rested my head on his shoulder, him holding me in close, stroking my hair. We were silent, enjoying each other's company.
"So?" my boyfriend asked, breaking the silence.
"So?" I replied.
"What're you thinking about, beautiful?"
"How lucky I am to be on this trip with you."
"Same thing. Actually, Sabine, I just noticed something."
"What?"
"I think this is like the first trip that we've actually gone on."
"Oh flip, you're right, dude. I just noticed that too."
"And it's gonna be a good one, let's put it at that."
"It is." I turned to Ezra and kissed him briefly but passionately. After I broke the kiss, I rested my head on his shoulder again. As he held me in closer, I started feeling his hands snake around my back. Then, he started massaging me. "Ooh. Ezra, that's nice."
"Why thank you." He continued massaging my upper back, then slowly made his way down to my lower back. He gave me a really good massage. After that was done, I pulled out my phone, and saw that the time was now 6:45.
"Ez, it's 6:45. I dunno about you, but I could go for some food right about now."
"Same. Food wise, since I don't happen to have anything on me in terms of dinner to roast, I did happen to find a diner nearby. You up for it?"
"Sure."
"Let's roll then."
I was just about to get in the car, until Ezra stopped me. "Actually, we can walk there, it's about five minutes. Plus, if we keep the car here, at least others won't come up to our spot randomly, if you know what I mean."
"Good point. Let's go then."
"After you."
"You."
"No, you." He gave me a playful punch, which I returned. We both laughed as we started walking away from the campsite.
A few minutes later
Ezra and I finally got to the diner, now at a table and reading our menus. As we were skimming through them a little bit, a male waiter approached us. "Good evening, the two of you." he said. "My name is Charlie, and I will be taking care of you two tonight. Can I start you off with something to drink?"
"I'll have ginger ale please." I said.
"And for you sir?"
"I'll have a coke please." Ezra said.
"I'll be back with them." the waiter said, leaving, me and Ezra going back to reading the menus. As we read through them a little bit, our drinks came. "Are we ready to order?" the waiter asked us.
"We are." Ezra said, me nodding. "Ladies first."
"I'll have the barbecue chicken sandwich please."
"It comes with fries. Would you like them, or not?"
"No fries please."
"You got it. And for you sir?"
"I'll have the cheeseburger, cooked medium and with cheddar cheese please, and fries."
"I shall be back when they come out." Charlie went off, leaving just the two of us for now. When he left, Ezra and I raised our glasses.
"To our trip." he said.
"To our trip." I replied. We toasted and took a sip out of our drinks, enjoying the start to our trip.
An hour later
Dang, that a really good dinner earlier. Ezra and I are full practically, that's how good our food was.
We were now back at the campsite, the current time being 8:00 on the dot. Ezra and I were outside, looking up at the stars as we lay on the hood of his car. I rested my head on his shoulder, him holding me close to him. "It's beautiful." I said.
"It is, just not as beautiful as you, Sabine." Ezra replied, pulling my head in and kissing me on the cheek.
"You're handsome yourself." I faced him and kissed him on the lips. We broke away to breathe after a minute or two, me resting my head on his chest now. While Ezra's gaze was fixed on the stars, I traced circles on his chest. He felt it, but he decided to let me play with him a bit. I continued tracing circles around his chest, until I felt my hair being stroked. I looked up at Ezra, his eyes fixing their gaze on mine, and then he pulled me in for a kiss.
"I love you." he said in between his kisses.
"I love you too." I replied in between mine. I asked for an entrance, and it was granted as I now got on top of my boyfriend and we were now making out on his car. Our tongue war inside our mouths was intense, and both of us were putting up a pretty good fight. However, I won in the end. After about five minutes of passionate kissing, we broke away, feeling the cool air become slightly more cooler.
"Back to the tent, Sabine?" Ezra asked.
"I'd say so." I replied. "And if you want, we can continue where we left off at." I added cheekily. He grinned, kissed me, and then we headed back to the tent, crawling into our sleeping bags. Ezra then pulled me in and we continued right where we left off at, both of us kissing passionately. I asked for an entrance, and Ezra let me in, our tongues engaged in another tongue war. He fought me off pretty well, making a comeback by dominating my mouth, and I enjoyed every second of it. We broke apart to breathe, Ezra turning on his side and grabbing his phone. He brought it up to us, setting it to selfie mode.
"Say cheese." he said. I didn't respond and smiled with him for the camera. He took the selfie, and it was a pretty good one.
"So what do you want to do now?" I asked.
"My suggestion, Sabine. How about another game of..." Ezra was cut off when his phone started ringing. "I gotta take this call. I'll be outside."
I grabbed his wrist before he left and kissed him quickly. "Come back soon." I said. He nodded and took off, while I went on my Instagram on my phone.
Ezra's P.O.V
My dad was calling me, and I went to my new car to take the call. "Hi, dad." I said when I got in.
"Hi, son. How's the trip so far?"
"Good. Sabine and I are enjoying it."
"That's good to here. And, Ezra, there's something important that we need to discuss."
"Okay, how important?"
"That important."
"Talk to me."
"Recently, your mom and I met with Sabine's parents to talk about the issues between you two dating and her dad."
"Okay. What else?"
Meanwhile
Sabine's P.O.V
"So you met with Ezra's parents recently?" I asked my mom, who called me just now.
"We did." she said. "And, I did bring your father with me. And before you start asking questions, dear, I did it because I wanted him to hear from Ezra's own parents about how good of a person Ezra is, and why he is a good boyfriend."
"I figured it would be for something like that. Did anything go down, because I have a feeling that something did."
"Well, your dad and Ezra's dad got into a bit of an argument."
"About what?"
"About you and Ezra dating. Your father cussed him out, right in front of me and Ezra's mom, both of them fighting about you two dating one another. Your boyfriend's dad tried reasoning with him, but since your father is difficult, he said that he didn't approve of you dating him. Even Ezra's parents said that they met you a couple of times, and I mentioned how I met your boyfriend, and your dad went on to make a big deal about it at a meeting between the four of us to find a way to resolve this issue."
"So what does this mean? Does this mean that dad despises Ezra even more now, and Ezra's family?"
"I don't know, but I'm concerned for all of you. I have to go now to take a work call. Sabine, have fun, and try to rest up on the issue for tonight. We'll all try to resolve it by working together."
"Let's hope that we can resolve it in the first place. Bye, mom."
"Bye, dear."
I hung up, and that was when Ezra crawled back into the tent, crawling under his sleeping bag. He looked worried, and I was concerned. I turned on my side to face him. "Ezra, are you okay?" I asked, concern in my voice.
Ezra sighed. "I'm worried about our relationship."
"Why?"
"My dad called, and he said that your dad and him got into a heated argument about us dating while both of our parents tried to discuss the issues about our relationship and your dad in the way recently." I immediately understood that he was referring to that exact argument that my mom brought up earlier.
"Actually, my mom called me earlier, and she mentioned the same thing. And, I'm worried about my dad because if he and your dad got into an argument, with my dad cussing your dad out, then I think that he might despise you even more, and your family."
"I think the same thing. I'm worried about us, and our families. Besides, our own parents fighting, about us? Why?"
"That's the question that I've been thinking about myself, Ez. I mean, your parents are okay with it, my mom is okay with it but my dad isn't, and now he's clashing with your own dad over us now? I'm seriously worried as well."
"I know, Sabine, and I am as well. I don't want anything to happen to us."
"I don't either. Our love is looked down upon by my own dad, and now that he had a heated argument with your dad, I think he already looks down upon us even more so than before. So what if you're not the type of guy that my dad saw me dating, so what if he disagrees with my preference? Either way, he just has to accept the fact that I love you already and that since we're dating, he just has to accept us as a couple and not constantly go after the both of us. Besides, if he keeps on going after the both of us, then he's putting himself at even more odds with the both of us."
"And that I agree with you on." Ezra sighed. "I'm worried about us, Sabine, I really am."
I kissed him on the lips briefly. "I am too. But, Ezra, just know that no matter what happens between us dating and my dad, I will always love you." He pulled me in and gave me a kiss.
"I love you too, Sabine." He pulled me in again, and we made out passionately for about five minutes. Ezra yawned when we broke away. "Well, I'm going to bed."
"Same."
We brushed up outside our tent, then came back in. We took off our current clothes, Ezra stripping down to his boxers while I went with a white tank top and my current panties. We crawled under the covers of our sleeping bags, cuddling in them. We cuddled for about half an hour before sleep consumed us, me falling asleep in the close embrace of my boyfriend's body.
