Émeline Rivers

Weaving my straightened hair in to a braid I stand in front of the mirror carefully styling my hair. My new blue dress is on and I look great in it, I almost feel like a whole different person. My makeup finished, I went for a natural look because I felt too lazy to do something extravagant.

Tying the elastic around my hair my loose braid falls down my back, I stride over towards the bed and sit down to pull on my matte black heels over my feet. Then rising and heading back towards the mirror to gaze at the finished product.

I hear the door open from behind me making me instinctively turn around to see who it was, stopping completely in my tracks when I see Ethan standing in the doorway looking completely shocked.

His long dark hair is pulled loosely in to a low ponytail that's trails down his chiseled back, he stand with a white dress shirt with a few buttons undone showing his chest. Tucked in to a pair of jeans and dress shoes a delicate cold chain hangs down his neck. He looks completely different, I watch his eyes dart all over my body examining each aspect of me. Then moving back up to my eyes with a surprised look on his face.

"Well?" I ask him "what do you think?"

"You look very nice- beautiful" he changes his words "You look beautiful" he smiles. I blush and walk towards him before dumbly tripping in my heels and falling against him.

God shoot me now.

He swiftly locks his arms around me and lifts me back up with an amused smile on his face. "You sure you can walk with those on for the night Émeline?" He laughs.

"Yes I'm sure, I just tripped over the rug" I say in embarrassment, he chuckles before placing a deep kiss in my lips. My eyes feather closed and for the brief moment our warm lips interlock.

Pulling away he looks down at me "I'll see you tonight Em" and he just walks out of the room, leaving me stranded by me myself. I exhale and quickly grab my wallet, holding the leather in my hand I walk out the door as my shoes tap down the staircase.

The restaurant seems very exquisite in the flyer that the hotel handed me, La Rosé is definitely not the kind of restaurant that you would order fish and chips at. We all walk out of the hotel in to the beautiful Marseille streets awaiting an Uber.

Damiano quickly pulls out a cigarette, placing it in his mouth I watch him cup it and ignite the lighter so the flams lit up the smoke. He inhales the smoke before blowing it out and offering it to me, usually I would refuse but I take it in my bible finger and place it up to my lips.

Inhaling the warm smoke as it fills my cheeks and starts to trail down my throat. I blow out in the the night as the white wisps of smoke leave my pink lips. Ethan moves closer to my and snakes his arm loosely around my lower waist, I hitch in a breath and glance quickly in his direction before the black vehicle pulls up to the curb.

We all shuffle to the car and slide in on the leather, light music playing in the background I am the last to enter so I shut the door as the Uber pulls off the curb.

"Bonjour à tous, je m'appelle Juliette et je serai votre serveuse ce soir. Puis-je vous aider à commencer avec des boissons ?" A lovely young waitress asks us as she stands beside the table.
^
(hello all, my name is Juliette and I will be your waitress this evening. Can i get you started with any drinks?)

"Oui" I quickly interfere "oui, je me demandais si vous parliez anglais parce que les autres ici ne parlent pas beaucoup français. Sinon je peux juste traduire. Et j'adorerais un jus de canneberge."
^
(yes, I was wondering if you speak any english because the others here do not speak much french. If not I can just translate. And I would love a cranberry juice.)

"Yes I do speak English!" She giggles "I am a transfer student from Canada so I know a little French myself from school. And yes, one cranberry juice" she writes down on her small notepad "anything for you all?"

"I will have the same as Émeline" Victoria states. "And I'll have a water" Ethan adds "I'm pretty sure Damiano wants one too" Ethan looks at Dami as he nods in agreement.

"Right" Juliette scribbles down in her book "Ok. Those will be out in a sec, then I will come to take your orders" she smiles before handing us menus "have a look at these"

"Thank you Juliette" Vic smiles at the waitress, The boys nod and I start to glance down at the menu. All the extravagant dishes and I manage to choose French onion soup, one of my comfort foods. My mom used to make it for me a lot when I was younger and I absolutely loved it.

I probably won't even eat it all anyway, I never have much of an appetite. "What are you guys gonna have?" Ethan asks us all. "Well I am having the French onion soup" I shrug.

"Émeline what is Chicken Confit? It sounds fancy" Victoria asks while looking off of the menu. "It's really good Vic" I exclaim.

"I'm having Bouillabaisse, I had it once when I was here in France and loved it" Damiano says, "I'm probably going to have Salmon en Papillote" Ethan reads slowly off the menu.

"Cool, I think Juliette is going to come back soon too" I add.

I sit at the table bored listening to the others talk as we wait for our food, Ethan sits beside me and I look down to notice he is wearing rings on his fingers. Which isn't something I usually see him wear often, I continue to fiddle with me fingers before he grabs my hand and rests his in mine, urging me to play with his rings.

I hesitate for a second before giving in and twirling the cold metal around his fingers, smiling at the gesture I see the waitress come back with a platter of all of our ordered dishes. I swiftly slide one of Ethan's rings off of his finger and place it on my own before starting to eat my soup.

"This is really good" Ethan exclaims while taking bites of his food, Victoria hums with a mouthful of Chicken Confit and Damiano bluntly nods.

The rest of the night pretty much consisted of laughing and eating, we had desert later which was chocolate croissants which we all enjoyed a ton. We ended up getting back home to the penthouse pretty late so I was completely ready for bed.

I crawl up the stairs and once I reach my room I pull my hells off my aching feet, throwing them in a corner of the room I skip on a comfortable sweatshirt over myself before crawling in to bed.

I lay under the covers with my face half buried playing with the rings I stole from Ethan on my finger before I hear him enter the room. I hide my ring barren hand under the covers as he lays down beside me.

"Can I sleep with you again" He asks but before I can answer he interferes "too late I'm already comfortable"

I smile and turn facing him, as we lay our noses almost brush each other, he leans in and delicately brushing his lips against mine making a shiver run up my spine. He pulls away to check my reaction to the kiss before once again pressing his lips on mine.

The kiss lasts a moment before we pull away and conceal ourselves in the soft covers, I turn off the lights before saying faintly "goodnight Ethan"

"Goodnight Em" He rasps "Oh and I know you took my ring" he chuckles softly.

"I figured!" I laugh before playfully pushing him "for real though goodnight"

"Goodnight baby"
