My life long dream is here!Im taking a European tour!Well more of a French tour if you will...I barely managed to save up enough to even get over here but...I bet it'll be worth it!But get this-I'm staying for a whole MONTH!In a four star hotel at that!So yeah it was extremely costly but...
All of those amazing things I was talking about doesn't seem so good when I'm in a 14 hour plane ride there...and it's been 27 minutes...Sometimes I don't even know what I want...I'm such a klutz...
Well it's about time for a nap...wish me some sweet sweet dreams please...

Your POV
Zzz...
Zzz...
Zzz--huh?Oh we landed.Landed...Wait we landed~!My hotel awaits!My vacation awaits!My dream awaits!I got off in an orderly fashion before struggling to find my bag but once that was out the way I was on my way to Paris!Well I am here already but seeing it in person!
I have to take the metro to my hotel so no side tracking,I'm going to make it there!I can explore later but housing comes first!I walked out the airport and boom.Straight into my wildest dreams.N-no!I have to get to my hotel first...
Oh that smell!What is that smell...is that...a bakery?Im super duper hungry though...I mean a 14 hour flight?Who wouldn't be right?But what time is it over here...It's like...Extremely dark out and sort of chilly but there are lights everywhere!
Not like New York City where all of the lights are advertisements and stuff but these are like street lights!Wait New York has those too...I don't know these just seem better somehow.Not too bright and--I just realized that I've been standing still looking off into the distance this whole time.
Stupid...Here let me get something to eat.Just a snack.I started to walk with my suitcase trailing behind me toward the sweet smell of bread...Now I've been to a bakery before so this shouldn't be so hard.1"Bonjour! Que voulez-vous?"
Um...The only thing I understood was Bonjour!Oh man...This isn't going to be much of a vacation if I can't speak the language..."Um...Bonjour...Monsieur?Erm...gosh I'm so embarrassed..."The man chuckled at me.Did I say something weird?I totally did didn't I...
"I can see you aren't from around here miss.What can I get you?"Stupid ignorant--wait he spoke English just now!Oh um...wow they all look so nice and yummy...let's go with a muffin..."Can I get a Brown Sugar Muffin please?Thank you..."
I feel so inferior to this guy...he knows English and French fluently!Here I am looking like some sort of idiot trying to do something normal over here--That looks amazing!I don't care if I look like an imbecile for all I care that is food fit for royalty.
"Here you go miss!Have a good night!"I walked out the bakery with my treat and waved him goodbye.Ok Metro...Hold on let me see...a few blocks down this street!O-ok.I can do this.
Wow...*munch*Hey this is great...this whole place is like a dream come true...Calm down I haven't even gotten to my awesome hotel yet!I slightly jumped with joy at the thought of it all...ok Metro station is right here...And now we wait for a train!Easy as eating this muffin...
Leaned up on a wall I finished my muffin throwing away the wrapper in the trash when I saw someone.Well two people and they were speaking in French.I should really take up the habit of learning this stuff...Some other guy who looks quite fetching took a seat next to me on the bench.
Why do all the people in France look so hot?Or is it just that I'm a foreigner?Yeah is just that...My train pulled up and I got on.Completely empty.I took a seat and it's so much better then the ones in the city.Super clean,even a bit fancy.The blond guy I was eyeing sat across from me while the two guys from earlier sat behind me.
I'm only on here for two stops so I should be fine.I looked over at the blind guy for a moment just getting lost in my own figments of imagination.Those eyes...those...those Everything!Wow I speak English yet I can barely describe how he looks...
I shouldn't stare though...You can think about him later I guess...but I'm going to forget him!So a picture!I will remember him if I take a picture...but I don't want to be rude...He's looking out the window...Maybe he won't notice if a take a quick snap of him...
Here let me take out my phone...*snap*Crap!I forgot about the flash!Oh no he definitely saw me...he's looking at me!He's moved to the seat in front of me!WHAT DO I DO?"I'm so sorry if you didn't want your photo taken I'll delete it right now!Um...sorry?"
He wasn't looking at me but rather over my shoulder.Was there something on me?"Madame...would you like to come to the next cart with me?"His voice is so nice...Wait the next train cart?But why?Um...gosh maybe this is normal over here or something?"Um...Can I ask why?"
He sighed with a sad tone and stood up putting his hands in his pockets and walking to the next train cart.The train stopped.Nobody got on,Nobody got off.
It started up again and my dream awaits!Imagine the room service the--*Click*"Should've listened to him.Hand over your purse."My eyes widened as something cold was pressed up against my head.
Oh...That man was trying to protect me.Im getting robbed.This is just like the city now isn't it?I've been in situations like this before and is not pleasant.Actually it's terrifying.As it is now too.I handed over my purse and felt the train start to come to a stop.
Wait they are just going to run away and get out of here!Not on my watch!Well actually they will...My pepper spray is in my pocket but this gun is still up to my head.I really don't want to die...I don't want to die being the disappointment of my family!
The train stopped.He moved the gun away from me as I watched them move off the train.I stood up and sprinted after them as they ran out.I ran and I ran but when we got back to the surface they went into a street ally.I don't dare to even go in there.If he has a gun,I'm not coming out of there alive.
What should I do?Now I'm stuck in Paris with nowhere to go,and I can't get home!This is easily the worst day of my life...I heard some footsteps slow up behind me.It was the guy who tried to help me before.He looked as if he was sad.
"They got away?"I nodded with a smile."I hail from New York City,I have my street smarts you know.Rule one!Keep your important items on you~!"
I have my wallet in my jacket pocket and my phone in the other.The guy looked shocked.
"Rule two!Have some sort of self defense!"I pulled out my pepper spray with its cap on so I don't alarm him."Um so let me get this straight...you knew you were going to get robbed?"I shook my head no."No I didn't.But there is always a chance!You seem like your from around here,you should know."
He tilted his head one way smiling with his eyes closed and let out a soft chuckle."Well you are right about that...Your smarter then you look madame...I'm guessing you are on a vacation here?"I nodded a yes and started feeling a bit awkward as...well I'm having a conversation like it's normal early morning with someone I don't even know.But he did try to save me a bit back there...and he's handsome...Wait calm down I don't even know his name yet!
"Yeah...I finally saved up enough money to come here..."He stepped forward and I sort of stared at him for a second.His eyes are such a nice shade of blue...And his hair is like a beautiful golden blond."Here.I'll give you a tour if you would like,it'll be fun~!"
"Yeah well...Let me get to my hotel room first and-Wait."I opened and closed my hands for a moment."I left my suitcase back there when I was chasing them...Oh..."I hit myself in the head playfully and I was smiling but...I'm truly an idiot...no matter how much I tell myself I'm not...
"Well I have to go...I'm extremely tired sir and--"He held out his hand."Francis.I'll regret the day I see you walk out my life so...can you please consider meeting me in the cafe on this street?Im always there for breakfast..."
I shook his hand with a smile and a giggle."Sure Francis.Its the least I can do."
We had a small and awkward laugh before I was on my way to that hotel.Thank goodness I prepaid for it...If I didn't it would have been over for me wouldn't it?Oh well...I feel like I can trust him though...seems nice.Looks nice--stupid...Stop being so fast he's just being a nice person.
As I walked into the hotel looking like a scrub compared to all of the fancy people in the lobby.Well there was only like two but still!They look amazing..."Um (l/n)?"The lady nodded retrieving a key and handing it to me after I signed something."Prendre plaisir!"
I just smiled and waves having no idea what she said...Ok elevator...Sixth floor...room 604...yes....YES!Ah it's everything I ever wanted!The room is huge!And it's all for me~!
There is a master bedroom with a huge bed and a bathroom directly next to the--Is that a free French wine?There it is on the counter!What?This is the best thing ever...I'm so happy I came to Paris...Yeah I might have been struck with misfortune but I have my whole life so who cares?
I pull out my phone as someone shot me a text.Lets see...oh no.Not a text just a notification from one of my siblings.I threw my phone on it's charger and took one of the best baths of my life.Then I...put on a robe to sleep in since I'm going to have to buy clothes in the morning.
But it's all good!Im here in Paris and my life is better then it could be right now.God I just want to hear Francis speak again he has such a thick French accent...Stop being fast...You literally just met him.He doesn't even know your name.
Well I should go to sleep...I'm exhausted and it's like 2 in the morning...Oh man this bed is so comfy right now...feels like I'm floating on a cloud compared to my bed....
"I'll regret the day I see you walk out my life so...can you please consider meeting me in the cafe on this street?Im always there for breakfast..."
Ahh his voice is so soothing...Wait he complemented me!Why did I just realize this now...Francis seems like a sly devil now...hmph.I won't let him get me that easily!
In the City of Love where they speak the Language of Love--Never mind.
