It's cold. The walk next to the Seine river is long. My motel is far away but due to technical problems my booking had been canceled. Yep.
I, Penelope Fisher, finished school a while ago and decided to travel around but my parents weren't exactly supportive. But hey, it's my decision anyway.
Maybe this walk is good for me so I can think for a while. I put on my headphones and blast my music through them, blending out my surroundings. My future is still unknown to me, I just can't take decisions, never did to be honest. That is actually one of the reasons why my parents weren't really supportive about me travelling, but I felt like going out into the world would help me find out who I am. After 15 minutes I find a bench and sit on it, looking at the river that constantly keeps flowing. I don't really know how I ended up in Paris, but it's not like I am complaining. I really need to find a place to sleep tonight unless I feel like ending up on the street tonight. Ha. Because of my loud music I don't notice another person sitting down next to me on the bench. It's a boy and by the look of it he was my age. He is looking straight ahead at the Seine. I used that opportunity and study his facial structures. He had a sharp jawline and pink lips. He was squinting. His hair took my attention, it was brown and curly covered with a beanie. Damn I wish i had that hair. After a while I snap out of my gaze and look straight ahead blushing a bit because I was studying the stranger next to me. I wonder what his name is.
"My name is Harry. You?" he suddenly said. Did I say that out loud? "Yes, you did." he said, chuckling. "Oh god, sorry. Um, my name is Penelope. Nice to meet you, Harry." I answered. His accent revealed that he was not from around, oh god. His accent. "It's dark. Why are you still outside?" He asked. I didn't even notice that it was dark already. "I could ask you the same thing." I said. He laughed and said "Touché. I was bored and went for a walk. I live alone so yeah that happens a lot. Add to that my friends are all out of town. And yes, I am not from around. I am from England actually, I study here at the university" He paused and said "Where do you live if I may ask. I've never seen you here." I blinked for a second to take in what he just said because his face was just too distracting. "Ah eh nowhere actually. I am traveling around at the moment. I am from Germany but my mother is from England, which is why I speak English." I noticed that I was rambling so I cut it short by saying "My motel booking got cancelled so I have to find another place to sleep." I shrugged. He raised his eyebrows at me and cleared his throat saying "Um, you could crash at my place tonight if you want. I can sleep on the couch, no worries." He said quickly. I thought about it for a minute. This guy that seems nice is offering me a bed and a roof over my head at a time where it'd be impossible to find another motel. Plus, he is hot. I smiled and said "Really? Would it be no bother? I don't want to be annoying or-" "No, no! It's fine I'd love to help you out." He said smiling. I nodded at him and said " Thank you so much I really appreciate it" "Well let's go then." He stood up, waiting for me to get up and started walking.
