AJ POV

            As soon as we arrived in Paris we headed straight for the head quarters in the center of the town.

            “We have a week to plan this party and lure Tomlinson here.” Harry said.

            “What do you mean plan the party? Isn’t it already planned…?” Niall asked.

            “Yes,” I intervened,” but we don’t want him going there, we need to make a fake party for the twins so that Tomlinson will come. That’s why we need you guys to be here. JJ, you need to plan this and act as the party hostess. Niall, Harry, and I will act as waiters and anything else you need.”

            “Woah, woah, woah! I have to plan a party for some 8 year olds all by myself?!”She scoffed.

            “Well Harry can help.” I offered.

            “WHAT!!?” they exclaimed simultaneously.

            “Is that a problem?” I raised my eyebrows.

            “No.” Harry grumbled.

            “Wait, but what are you and Niall going to do?” JJ asked.

            “Well, I’m gonna set up a camera that over looks the whole city on the Eiffel tower.” I replied. 

            “And why does Niall need to go…?”

            “I need someone to help me get to the tip.” I reply.

“Explain to me why I’m dressed in this monkey suit?” he fidgeted. I adjusted my dress.

            “Because…there is a nice restaurant at the top and we can’t show up looking like southern hillbillies.”

            “How are you supposed to climb up to the top of the tower wearing a dress?” he said as the elevator rose. The elevator dinged and we arrived at the top.

            “You can let me worry about that. You just get us a table and meet me around back.

Niall POV

I got us a table. It was difficult at first, but when I whipped out my badge they were quick to get us one. I set my coat down at the table indicating that it was occupied and went around to the back of the restaurant. When I reached the back I saw her she was pulling something out of her dress.

            “Uh, what’s that?” I asked pointing to her waist. She had a thick brown belt around her hips with a couple things poking out of the pockets.

            “Christmas present. The woman who took care of the orphanage I was in still keeps in touch with me. I told her I work with hardware so she sent me this tool belt. It actually came to some kind of use. Now, I need you to watch out for me and hold this rope. When I tug it, pull on it and it will bring the screws up to me. Got it?” she said motioning towards a little pulley system she must have set up while I was in the restaurant. I nodded. She put the camera between her teeth and started climbing up the side.

AJ POV

I climbed the rungs all the way to the top. I took the spare rope I had and secured myself to the side of the building. It was more for Niall’s sake. He kept glancing at me nervously like he thought I was going to fall. I kept the camera clutched between my teeth and started attaching the base of it to the top. Tugging the rope and the screws zipped up the pulley. I glared at Niall down below and he gave me an apologetic look. I sighed and took the screws out of the little basket one by one and attached them to the base.

            “Almost done?” Niall shout.

            “One more screw!” I replied. I took it out and I guess my hands were sweaty because I felt it slipping from my grasp. I dropped out of my hands and I leaned a little to far forward because the next thing I knew I was falling of the top of the Eiffel tower.

Niall POV

It all happened in slow motion. She caught the screw in the air and continued to fall. She just about reached where I was. I held on to the railing and extended my hand. I felt her grab my hand. I lurched forward from the contact but caught myself on the railing. I looked down at her. Beads of sweat lined my brow. We were both breathing heavily from the adrenaline.

            “The camera can be a little wobbly right?” I asked. She nodded vigorously and I pulled her up. She collapsed on top of me when she reached the other side of the railing. I could feel her shaking from the scare. “Are you okay?” I examined her to make sure she was fine. She just let out a shaky breath. She mumbled something I didn’t hear. “Huh?”

            “Thank you.” She said a blush crept up the side of her face. I had just noticed we were only inches apart.

            “Oh shit sorry.” I said stepping back. “Do you want to go inside? We still have a table. Might as well eat.” I suggested. She laughed a bit.

            “Well if there’s food involved…I’m in.” She grabbed my hand and dragged me inside. I looked down at our intertwined hands and felt my face heat up a bit.

AJ POV

We sat at our table and I hooked up our camera. Suddenly all of Paris popped up on my screen.

            “Okay so I’m going to send you and everyone else the information you need to fill out on your phones to hook up the camera to your mobile devices.” I said typing on my computer. I could feel him starring at me. I cleared my throat and looked up. “Something wrong?”

            “Uh no. Sorry.” he coughed. Our food arrived at our table. Niall had ordered us spaghetti. My eyes widened at the size of the plate. It was probably bigger than my head and his head put together. “You know what I’ve always wanted to do?”

            “What…?” I said hesitantly.

            “Eat pasta in the messiest way possible in the middle of a nice place like this.” I grinned at him. We grabbed our forks and ate like pigs for the next hour.
