Nick's POV

I take Charlie to one of my favourite cafés. It's not far from our hotel and has a view of the Eiffel Tower. It has a beautiful, typically Parisian courtyard with lots of flowers. I've only ever been here with my dad, so I'm excited to make new memories here with Charlie.

I still haven't gotten over the shock that we're staying at the Résidence Charles Floquet. I really didn't expect Charlie to go all out like this and I would have been happy staying at a small B&B but I'm extremely grateful, and I intend on showing him just how grateful I am.

"Oh wow!" He breathes, looking at the array of perfectly crafted pastries.
"What do you want?" I giggle affectionately, placing my hand on his waist.
"I have no idea." He laughs. 
"We could get a few different ones and share?" I suggest.
"Okay, you choose."

A small elderly woman with kind eyes looks in our direction and smiles.
"Qu'est-ce que tu voudrais?" She asks.
(What would you like?)

Okay, so maybe part of the reason I brought Charlie in here was because I know they only speak French and I love his reaction.

"Euh, je peux avoir un pain au chocolat, un croissant, un pain aux raisins et un kouign amann s'il vous plaît. Oh et deux cafés. Merci." I say and I hear Charlie hum as he tries to contain himself.
(Um, can I have a pain au chocolat, a croissant, a pain aux raisins and a kouign amann please. Oh and two coffees. Thank you.)
"Oui bien sûr." She says smiling.
(Yes of course.)

She puts our pastries on a tray and starts making our coffees, I make eye contact with Charlie and he's absolutely giddy. I have to look away to stop myself laughing.

"Merci." I say as I pay and we go outside to find a table.

"What's this?" Charlie asks pointing at a pastry as we sit down.
"Pain aux raisins." I say and he giggles.
"What's this?"
"Kougin amann." Another giggle.
"What about this?" He asks, smiling cheekily.
"You know what that is." I laugh.
"I don't." He says innocently.
"Pain au chocolat." I say smirking and he giggles again.
"This?" He laughs.
"That's a croissant." I say without the accent and smirk at him.
"Oh come on." He giggles.
"Fine, croissant." I say, dramatising the accent and he giggles, blushing a bit.

I chuckle affectionately, shaking my head as I split the pastries in two.
"Are you going to do this the whole time we're here?" I tease.
"Absolutely." He giggles.

He pulls off a peice of the croissant, puts it in his mouth and moans quietly. This catches me off guard, causing me to choke a little on my pastry and I start coughing.
"So good..." He says flirtatiously, making eye contact with me, slowly putting another piece in his mouth.

"Oh my god Charlie." I laugh.
"What?" He giggles.
"You know what." I say, giving him a devilish look.

We can play this game if he wants to, but he seems to forgotten the effect my flirting has on him. I sit back in my chair, look at him lustfully and lick my lips.
"Jesus Christ Nick." He giggles, completely folding.
"What?" I ask, giving him a crooked smile.
"Stop it." He giggles.

He tries the pain au chocolat and gets a bit of chocolate on his lip, so I lick my thumb, lean forward and slowly whipe it off while holding his chin with my fingers.
"You had some chocolate on your lip." I say, smirking at him.

He stares at me with his lips parted open slightly.
"Breathe Charlie." I giggle and he looks down going bright red.
"That's not fair." He giggles.
"What's not fair?" I chuckle.
"You going full sexy on me when we're public." He laughs.
"You had chocolate on your lip." I say innocently.
"You know exactly what you did." He giggles.
"Nope, no idea." I say and bite my lip.
"Stop it!" He laughs.
