The Following morning they arrive at the Grand Palais where they are greeted by a rep for Chanel and Dior Marie Angélique Saint Claire, Nina's worked with her before so she pretty much knows what she likes and expects of her, Julia although new to the fashion world is not new to Marie Angélique "Nina Darling so good to see you again Ma Cherie" N:"Merci Ma Chérie, you too" MA:"Julia Cirac c'est n'est pas possible to what do I owe this pleasant surprise? I did not know you modeled" J:"I don't actually, not professionally anyway but I couldn't say no to a dear friend" MA:"Well don't worry we'll have you walking the catwalk like a professional in no time" They spent the whole morning working the catwalk Julia took to it like a moth to a flame she was a natural MA:"Julia Ma Chérie you're a natural, Nina knows talent when she sees it n'est pas?" "Merci Marie Angélique you're too kind." MA:"You're quite welcome ma chère. Why don't the two of you take a break and meet me in the dressing room in an hour" N:"Sounds good the boys should be here soon" MA:"Mon Deus, Is Jared with you, I'd enjoy meeting him" Nina can't help but giggle Marie Angélique is incredibly prim and proper all business or so Nina thought, she's the last person she'd figure going weak at the knees at the mere mention of Jared's name. N:"Well we are expecting him and his brother shortly if you don't mind waiting a little bit" MA:"A brother! Is he as equally handsome?" N:"And equally taken" Nina smiles at Julia
The boys showed up 10 minutes later and Marie Angélique is gushing over Jared and Shannon MA:"Monsieur Leto it is a pleasure to meet you" Jared:"The pleasure is all mine, allow me to introduce my brother Shannon" MA:"Enchante monsieur..." to Nina" ... You are right ma chérie he is equally handsome" S:"Thank you Mademoiselle Saint Claire, you flatter me" Julia:"She only speaks the truth Darling" S:"Ah but you're biased my love" MA:"A woman's eyes see far beyond her heart Monsieur Leto, I assure you" S:"I'll have to take your word for it then, Mademoiselle Saint Claire" Jared:"Mademoiselle Saint Claire would you mind terribly if we excused ourselves from your company? Although we are enjoying it we do have a reservation Chez Marceline" MA:"No No of course not, go on and enjoy and make sure to tell Jean Pierre I sent you, he'll take good care of you" N:"Thank you so much Marie Angélique, we won't be long I promise" MA:"Take your time ma chère, take your time.
Chez Marceline is a quiet little bistro within walking distance of the Eiffel Tower, the view from the terrace is amazing. Julia:"Shannon Darling isn't it beautiful?" S:"Not as beautiful as the woman in my arms, it pales in comparison to your beauty" Jared:"Seriously, who are you?" Shannon gives Jared a sly smirk, the girls look at the boys quizzically. Both girls knew that Jared and Shannon had a reputation but girls are forever the hopeless romantics believing that their love can change an a bad boy into an alter boy, ok not exactly but you get the point. Going in they feared they be just another notch on their belt but their connection was undeniable and before long the boys were proverbial putty in their hands. Shannon pulls a chair out for Julia S:"Don't pay him no never mind my love, Jared's just trying to be a comedian" Jared does the same for Nina and takes her lips before sitting down N:"Are you Darling?" He can't help to admit now wasn't the time but it still surprises him as much as it warms his heart to see Shannon in love even if his brother wasn't ready to admit it to himself. Jared:"I suck at comedy don't I? Maybe I should just stick to acting" Nina can't help but giggle N:"I love you baby, so much" Jared"I love you more"
