Madeline's pov I waved goodbye to Winona and got in my uber. I still hadn't gotten used to London driving so I figured trains and Ubers were my best bet. Milo hadn't texted me all day which was weird but I didn't wanna seem clingy so I left it alone.
When I made it to my apartment I lazily turned on my lights and yawned. Today was a longer day and I haven't been sleeping all that well so I was ready to sleep. I went into my room and searched for the light. I finally found it to see Milo lying across my bed with a rose in his mouth and a bouquet on the bed.
"What are you doing here?" He stood up and gave me the rose, I snatched it from him ignoring the pain as I gripped the thorns throwing my arms around him. I kissed him full on the lips not daring to let go. I missed him so much it wasn't even funny. I ran my hands up his body dropped the rose along the way finding his neck. He pulled away and smiled down at me "hey baby" I smiled so big it felt like it would melt right off.
"Hi" he picked me up so I wrapped my leg around his waist "I thought you had a work thing?" He shrugged "nah I lied, I wanted to surprise you. I had to bribe Luna so bad she kept threatening to tell you what I was up to. I laughed and kissed him again "you're so sweet, thank you for this" he sat me down on the ground "well it's more for me than it is you so don't go thanking me too much".
I smiled and pushed him, he laughed and allowed me to throw him against the bed "you crushed your flowers" I took my coat off "fuck the flowers Milo" I took my shirt off and crawled on top of him. "Well if you insist" we began kissing again this time more urgently and with more tongue. He sat him so I was straddling him, he took his shirt off and pulled me tight against him like I'd disappear if he left go.
He gently flipped us so I was now laying in the bed and he was kissing down my neck. I moaned a little and he began lightly tugging so I knew a hickey would form but that was my problem tomorrow.
"I'll never get used to that" I said lying naked against his bare chest. "What?" I smiled happily placing a kiss on his ribcage "us, sex, everything it's all... too good. Too perfect" I looked up at him "you're perfect" he smilies and played with my hair "nah you're the perfect one, I love you so much Madeline, I hate whenever we're apart" I sighed and buried my face in his neck "don't talk like that, I get worried you're gonna leave me or something like that".
Milo chuckled "no you'd have to leave me first, and even then I would beg you to take me back" I giggled at his stupid remark "see you're perfect" Milo flicked my shoulder lightly "you were supposed to say 'I would never leave you Milo'" I laughed again "hey that flick hurt" I flicked his chest and he held the spot and pretend to be in pain.
I raised my head up and crossed my arms over his chest so we were looking eye to eye "I love you Milo, and I'll never leave you" his face softened and I felt like my heart would explode. I wanted nothing more in this world than to be with him. He was everything to me. "Do you want some croissants?" Milo smiled "what kind of question is that? Of course I want some" I got up no bothering to cover myself like I used to "okay but you have to shower with me".
He got out the bed so fast and practically tackled me trying to throw me over his shoulder. I laughed as he ran to the bathroom.
Steam was already starting to fog up the mirror by the time he set me down, both of us breathless from laughing. I turned the faucet and stepped under the warm water, sighing as it hit my skin. Milo stood behind me, arms wrapped tightly around my waist like I might vanish if he let go. "I love nights like this," he murmured against my shoulder, pressing a soft kiss there. "No red carpets, no distractions, just me and you" I smiled, closing my eyes. "You're kind of sappy, you know that?"
"Yeah, but it works on you," he said smugly, grabbing the shampoo and lathering it into my hair with that stupidly gentle touch that made my knees weak every time. We didn't speak for a minute. Just water, skin, closeness. Safe. "I used to be scared," I said quietly, "that all of this was too good to last. That it wasn't real. When we first started talking I was afraid you were just being nice and then you asked to come to Romania and I just... I thought I was for sure being catfished"
Milo paused, then tilted my face up to look at him. "It's real," he said, steady. "As long as you want me I won't go anywhere." And for once, I didn't doubt it. After the shower, still wrapped in towels, he reached for his phone. "Okay, croissant time. Where do you wanna go?" I laughed, grabbing my robe. "Carette, it's super cliche and touristy but I love it" he pulled up the directions "you got it babe".
We got dressed quickly not really caring since we were gonna go to bed whenever we got back. I grabbed his black Essentials hoodie and slipped it over my tank top. I grabbed my converses and waited patiently for him to come out. "Oh you took my hoodie" I shrugged "sorry" he waved me off "it's okay I have others I just thought I was going crazy" he headed back into my room and came out with his white hoodie. "Ready?" I nodded.
We stepped out onto the cobblestone street, my hand tucked tightly into Milo's.
(A/N: bro I meant to finish this days ago but my dumb ass forgot Paris was French not English and I got super mad so umm... idk I ain't rewriting this so can we just pretend there's a carette in England 😔 (France betta 😝)
When we finally arrived I could practically feel myself bursting with excitement I was no longer tired "I'm so excited can we order five pastas each or is that huge? I've starving" Milo laughed and leaned down resting his arms up top my head. "I'll do whatever you want but 10 pastas for two people is a bit crazy. Besides where are your croissants gonna go?".
I removed myself from under his hold and sighed "true we should each get 3 croissants" he nodded "let's do that" he walked us over to the host stand and I waited patiently as he spoke for the both of us.
