Harry Styles is the biggest popstar in the world. He's also been handpicked to star in author Nicholas Sparks new film from his book called Dreamland. Avery Michaels is a small town girl from North Carolina who owns an independent book store who's...
Bringing Avery to Paris was a last minute decision, but one I was instantly glad that I made. I called Gemma earlier in the week to ask how the dress shopping was going and she told me they were in a dress shop and that after a full day of browsing there wasn't anything to report and that Ava seemed a little frustrated. Even though I could have someone make her a dress that would be one of a kind, she's insistent on trying dresses on and finding one of her own. I guess it's a girl thing.
I'll just pick a suit and show up, no big deal. Riding through the streets of Paris and watching Ava's face is like I'm seeing it all for the first time all over again. I knew she'd fall in love with this place. How could she not? This was one of the places she named when we talked about all the places I wanted to take her in this world, as cliche as she knew it was, she'd always go back to Paris. I was able to call in a favor from a friend of mine who has an apartment in Paris and he was more than happy to allow us to use his space as he's on vacation in Spain right now. Having contacts in high places comes in handy.
There's a little flirting going on with Ace and Gemma and it's a bit odd for me. I ask Ava if she's noticed and she laughs and tells me to stop being overprotective. We make our way to the apartment and Ava gasps as she finds that there's an amazing view of the Eiffel Tower. The apartment is all set up just the way I asked for it. There are fresh flowers, luxury French bath soaps by the massive tub, everything we will need for a perfect weekend. Ace and Gem will be in the two bedrooms downstairs while we take the large upstairs master bedroom.

Today we are doing a few of the touristy things and hopefully I can pull off a bit of disguise and remain incognito and then tomorrow she and Gem are going to spend a good part of the day seeing different designers and dress shops. Dinner tonight will be special as we are officially celebrating our engagement with Ace and Gemma tonight at a fancy restaurant. After a quick overview of the space we decide to head out to grab some lunch and see the immediate area for a bit.
There's a flower stand right at the corner of where the apartment is and an older gentleman hands me a rose and I stop to chat with him for a minute and I explain in French to him that we are here to celebrate our engagement and to find my beautiful lady a wedding dress. He excitedly wishes us a long and happy life together and I translate it all for Ava. She reaches out and hugs the man and I love watching her charm every person she meets. I hand him a generous tip and tell him to take his wife out for a nice dinner tonight. He's most gracious.
"That was kinda hot Styles." She says quietly as we walk away as she twirls the red rose in between her fingers.
"What was?"
"You. Speaking French. Haven't heard that one before. Very sexy Styles." She gives me a wink.
