Jim's POV

I listen to my phone ringing in my dreams. I need to wake up. I have to wake up.

I quickly wake up and grab my phone. I see it is 3:36 am.

"Hello?" I say, my voice sounding tired.

"Jim?"

It is Amelie. I feel a smile spreading through my face, as I listen to her beautiful voice, now I don't care I am woken up in the middle of the night.

"Ameliee!! How are you?"

"Great! You?"

"Great, too, thanks," I say, happily.

I can feel that she sensed the tiredness in my voice, and knowing her, I know what's coming. "Oh my god! You were asleep?!" she asks, sounding worried.

"Yes, but don't worry, Ams."

"Why do I keep forgetting about the change of time!" she says. "I am so sorry, Jimmy! Go back to sleep."

"No, no-"

"Please, go back to sleep. I promise to call you tomorrow, when we both can talk, okay? Good night!"

"Alright, goodnight."

She hangs up, and I put my phone down. I miss her so much. She's been away for a week now, so she just has two days left in Switzerland. I hope those days go by fast.

I lay down in my bed with her in my mind. Seconds pass, minutes pass, hours pass, and I can't sleep. I look at the clock and read 5:12 am. I stand up from my bed and walk to the kitchen to get a cup of chamomile tea. I heat the water and place the tea in it, going back upstairs. I grab a good book, and put my glasses on, starting to read.

I can feel each letter, each word, transforming in my mind, transporting myself from this world to the one created by the author.

I feel my eyes starting to close, as I reach the end of the chapter I was reading. I try to make myself continue, but I can't, I am exhausted. My eyes slowly close again, and before I even notice, I am finally sleep.


Amelie's POV

I can't believe it's been a week since we arrived here, and we just have two days left. This makes me sad in a way, but to be honest, I can't wait to see Jim and all of the girls. I've been talking to them almost everyday, and I miss them terribly.

I met two girls, that are starting to become some really great friends of mine. Their names are Clarisse and Danielle. I met them once when Jason went to get some cookies from a supermarket near here and I went to a coffee shop. They are both from the United States, L.A, and really nice people.

Jason and I have had an amazing time together. I feel a lot closer to him now, after spending all day every day with him. It's been incredible. We've gone hiking, shopping, museums, etc, etc, etc.

I am doing my makeup because Jason is taking me to a fancy dinner. This is the night when I'll wear the strapless red dress with the cute sweater the girls told me to bring.

I watched this week's Big Bang Theory episode and I have to say, they are all doing an amazing job.

I am done with makeup and hair, so I put my dress on. I am supposed to meet Jason at the lobby of the hotel at 8:00 pm and it is 7:45 pm. Perfect.

I go down the elevator and there he is, handsome, wearing a suit.

"Well hello, beautiful," he says, taking my hand.
