Intertwined

Nickolas' POV

My hand is intertwined with Ally's as it rests on my thigh while i continue to drive through the grasslands, the greenery reminding me of Ally's eyes. We are on a six hour drive from El Paraiso to the Ranch house a couple of towns away.

Zara and Lola are fast asleep in the back sit after they wore themselves out, talking and singing a while ago, with three more hours left to go. The rest of the family opted to fly to the ranch like we normally do.

I suggested to drive because i wanted this to me a romantic road trip for myself and Ally, but the 'teens' begged us to come along and Ally agreed after i clearly told them no.

"Hey, how are you feeling?" I ask, giving her a quick glance.

"Fine" she snaps, without looking at me, but doesn't pull her hand out of mind.

Smiling, i lift our intertwined hands to my lips and kiss the back of her hand. She turns her head then and glares at me playfully.
