Alexandra closed her suitcase and took it from her bed to the door of her plush bedroom. She was all healed up and ready for Paris with Aubrey.
[Flashback to lunch w| Kimberly]
Alexandra: It's not as painful on my left side, no real nerve damage, nothing too serious. I just went into shock.
Kimberly (taking a sip of her pink lemonade and smoothing out her dress): Well, I'm glad you're okay. I swear, the scariest thing that can happen to someone has happened. That doesn't bother you? Like how do you not question what the hell is wrong with people after that?
Alexandra (laughing): When you're in love, you don't care about some random asshole that can't handle rejection so he decides to almost kill you.
That sounded awkward.
Alexandra: No, I mean, I need this trip to Paris. And I'm not gonna let anyone ATTEMPT to ruin my happiness.
Kimberly smiled at Alexandra in mutual excitement.
[Now]
Aubrey walked into the bedroom and smiled at Alexandra.
Aubrey (before grabbing her by the waist and kissing her): You're gonna love Paris when I take you.
In all reality, Alexandra had been to France and spoke some French [with a terrible accent]. But she was only there for a few days....on business.
Alexandra looked Aubrey in his eyes in deep thought.
Alexandra: I'm pretty sure what we have is international baby.
She smiled brightly and hugged Aubrey, who picked her up in laughter.
It was a quick ride to the airport and Aubrey's private jet was ready for the both of them. Aubrey was really excited that Alexandra finally let her walls down and was a little more willing to love him the way that they both deserved to be loved...under any type of circumstance.
Once the two boarded the jet and were settled in, a flight attendant handed them both champagne and told them to enjoy their flight. Once she walked away, Aubrey turned and looked at Alexandra.
Alexandra (Taking a sip): What?
Aubrey leaned over and kissed her and then took another look into her eyes.
Aubrey: I love you.
Alexandra moved back in her seat with her eyes wide open. She was enjoying herself and maybe got caught up in the moment of going to Paris, but she wasn't too sure that she knew how to love again. How to let someone love her again if anyone ever has.
Aubrey caressed her face.
Aubrey: I know that I've probably fallen for you too fast but....I can't believe that I just met you and I feel this attached. I've seen your work and your spreads and you're just as perfect as every picture I've seen of you.
Alexandra began breathing hard. She looked surprised and devastated at the same time. Alex couldn't say anything.
Aubrey: You don't have to say anything. I'm not looking for a hurried response. I just want you to know that what you've seen on Instagram or Media TakeOut but what you see right now...what you're getting right now...means I'm all in baby.
Alexandra smiled and kissed him.
Alexandra: I am too.
Aubrey smiled and pulled Alexandra over to him to sit in his lap.
Aubrey: In 12 hours we'll be laying in the Presidential suite at the Four Seasons hotel of Paris, France.
He smiled and held her tight. Alexandra smiled and warmed up inside.
Alexandra: Je suis absolument ravi de mon voyage avec vous.
[I am absolutely excited about my trip.]
Aubrey looked at Alexandra in astonished.
Alexandra (with a seducing smile): The things you don't know.
[Aubrey & Alexandra landed and a car sent them to their hotel]
A bellhop took Aubrey and Alexandra's bags upstairs as they explored their room. There was a tray of fruit and wine waiting for them. Aubrey sat in a chair and began typing away on his phone as Alexandra went into the bathroom and fixed her hair. She walked out and saw Aubrey sitting on the bed looking down. She looked at him and smiled.
Alexandra: I'm so tired from the flight.
She began walking towards Aubrey as he stood up.
Alexandra: But I wanted to tell you that all of this is new to me...Not the lifestyle and the wining and dining but this love and affection you give me. Everything you give me. I want you. I want to be the girl that you can tell your friends about...
[Flashback to Aubrey and Noah in the car together]
Noah: So you gonna tell me anything about that girl you're with?
Aubrey was looking down in the passenger seat on taking pictures of himself on his phone.
Aubrey: Alex...she's young...she's gorgeous. She's a model.
Noah: A model?
Noah a laughed.
Aubrey: No like magazines and fashion shows. Not music videos and King Magazine. But anyway, she's different man. Like when I met her...she didn't even approach me. She rejected me. But it wasn't even the chase that turned me on to her...
Aubrey looked off into the crowded Toronto road.
Aubrey: I don't know..Maybe it was the chase that made her so enticing to me. But I feel this strong connection to her. I feel this pull every time I see her. She makes all of the songs I've written, all of the shit I've been through worth it cause there's someone out there you know?
Noah looked over at Aubrey.
Noah: She sounds great, man, but she's GOT to stop watching the WE channel when you're around.
[Now]
Alexandra: Just know that when I pull back...it's only because I want to be sure that I'll have this moment for life.
Alexandra looked into Aubrey's eyes. Something that was always done by the two of them to read what's not being written. To hear the unheard and to see the unseen. They wanted to know how safe their hearts were with the other. It seemed like it could be either a bottomless pit of misguided emotion and built up hope for love that could never end.
Why was the impossible happening to us? Right now. With our lives. With our goals. With our dreams right in the palms of our hands? What force brought us together and what force could tear us apart?
