"Oh shit-- It's my dad, I'd better take this" Nicholas said, while holding onto my phone. I  smiled at him, and said. 

"Yeah, go for it" Nicholas answered the phone.

"Allô? Papa?" Nicholas spoke in French. My eyes went wide, and I looked at him outstanded. "Oui, ça va bien! Ja suis au Louvre" My face went pink and warm. 

"Wha..-- French?" I whispered to myself. "Est-ce qu'on va se voir cette semaine?" My face went warmer each time he spoke, I placed my hand over my mouth and I whispered into it. 

"What's happened to me, God damn it" 

"Oh, okay" Nicholas said with such disappointment in his voice. 

"Non, c'est pas grave. Tu peux me téléphoner la semaine prochaine? D'accord. Love you bye" Nicholas hung up, and gave me a closed eyes smile. 

"Okay, sorry about that--" He looked at me, my hand was on my arm and I was blushing. "What?" Nicholas asked me. 

"You speak French.. like.. fluently" I muttered. Nicholas looked at me confused, he walked up to me and placed his phone in his pocket. "Yeah..? Didn't I tell you that?" I glared at him. 

"No! I think I would have remembered my boyfriend speaking French!" I yelled. 

"Oh!! Well-- My dad is French and lives in Paris, and we've always spoken, mainly, French so.. I thought I told you that!" Nicholas blushed. My mind went blank. "..What?" He asked me.

"God I really want to just..." I started, and he looked at me confused. "Push you against a wall right now" His face went redder then a watermelon. "Copper" Nicholas said, and rubbed the back of his neck.

My eyes went wide, and I stuttered. "I mean NOTHING! You heard nothing!" I glared at him, my own face super red. We both walked away, and Nicholas started to poke at me.

"Do you like it when I speak French?" He asked me, and I glared at him. "It's fine. I mean, it's cool... I suppose" I placed my hands behind my back as I walked forward. "Copper" Nicholas grabbed my hand, and pulled me towards him. His face was super close to mine.

"Mon amour" Nicholas whispered. My face went red, and he wrapped his arms around my waist. 

"Oh my God, shup up you Nerd!! You're so clinging!!" I pushed his face. "You don't look like you're clinging.. You look like you're blushing" He turned me so I faced him. "I'm not!" I yelled.

"Oh yeah? You sure" He pushed me, "Leave me alone, you dick!!" I laughed. "Je ne comprends pas!" I glared at him as he held onto me. "I hate youuuUuuuuuuu" I groaned. We were on the floor, and we saw security. 

We jumped up, and I grabbed his arm. "Run!" I said, and laughed. He chuckled, and we ran off. We were not talking and walking up a flight of stairs, when I asked Nicholas. 

"What did your dad want? I can't believe I didn't know he was French!" Nicholas shook his head behind me, and answered me. "I wanted to try and meet up with him but he said he's too busy with work"

I slowly nodded. "That sucks.." I whispered, and Nicholas pulled out his phone. "Yeah. He's not the most reliable.. but!" He showed me a photo of him. "This is him" I smiled at the photo, there was little Nicholas.

"He's still my dad, y'know? I wanted to tell him about you. in person." I looked at him worried. I placed my hand on his shoulder, and said. 

"That can still happen eventually. It doesn't have to happen on this trip" He looked down at me sadly, and nodded. "Yeah, you're right" I smiled, then it dropped. "This has been stressing you out.. Hasn't it? You should have told me about it, Nicholas!" 

"Yeah, I.. I didn't want you to worry" He answered, and I glared at him. He laughed, and placed his head on my shoulder. "I guess we've both been keeping some stuff to ourselves" I laughed, and nodded. "Yeah" 

He removed himself from my shoulder, and I said. "Well, how about we both promise to actually talk to each other when we've got shit going on?" Nicholas nodded. "Deal!" We shook hands. 

A little bit later, we're standing next to each other and I looked up at him. Nicholas looked down at me, and asked me. "What?" I didn't say anything, I just hugged him. He smiled at me, and pulled me into a tight hug.
