I was on my way to a café, La Closerie des Lilas, I had a big exam coming up and the neighbours were remodelling their bathroom, resulting in an always noisy work space, that's why I was now on my way to do some studying in a more quiet environment. I was walking down the street, one earbud in my ear playing some Lana Del Rey song, when I was stopped by a man in a suit.
"Excusez moi." He said, an American accent very apparent in his voice.
"Oui? Comment puis-je t'aider?" I responded.
"Uhm, tu parles Anglais?" He asked, shifting from one foot to the other, looking a bit nervous.
"Yes, can I help you?" I smiled.
"Okay great, I'm trying to find l'Île de la cité, can you give me some directions?"
"Uhm, it's that way" I said, pointing to the direction the man should go in, "and when you get to the end of Rue Mazarine go left to Rue Dauphine and you should be about there." I said.
"Thank you so much, I'm Sebastian by the way."
"You're welcome, I'm Aubrey." I smiled at the handsome man again.
We stood there for a few seconds, just looking at eachother until he broke the silence "Well, I should be going, thank you again." He smiled and walked away into the direction I had pointed him in.
"Au revoir."
Sebastian's POV
I was genuinely lost, I had no idea which direction I should be going in or where I even was at that moment. Everyone around me seemed to be in a hurry to get somewhere and I didn't want to interrupt someone's schedule, walking down the street was a girl looking a bit more relaxed than most people running around in a stressed frenzy.
"Excusez moi." I said to her, cringing at the horrible pronounciation.
"Oui? Comment puis-je t'aider?" She said, very fast.
I had no idea what she just said, not recognising a single word except 'oui'. "Uhm, parlez-vous Anglais?" I said slowly.
The girl immediately switched to English, thank God. "Yes, can I help you?"
"Okay great, I'm trying to fin l'Île de la cité, can you give me some directions?" I sighed in relief, I was already running a bit late for the shoot, I should have been there already.
The girl continued to give me directions: right, left, continue left until you're there. "Thank you so much, I'm Sebastian by the way." I said.
"You're welcome, I'm Aubrey." The girl, Aubrey, said. Flashing me a beautiful smile, we stood there for a few second until I broke the silence again.
"Well, I should be going, thank you again." I would've loved to chat with her for a little more, but I really was running late and didn't feel like getting fired that day. Aubrey said a quick 'Au revoir' and was on her way again, just like me.
