Summer Surprises

#7-On top of the Eiffel Tower

Good morning - Robert

That's the first text from him after our make out session yesterday. I can't avoid his text, besides I don't find any harm in going out with him. I don't want to think about anything long term right now.

Good morning :) -Lisa

My phone vibrates again and it's an image this time. I open it to see marshmallows arranged in a form that spells dinner with a question mark.

I blush at the picture in front of me. He's definitely cheesy.

I arranged the M and M's, I was eating in a form that read, yes!

***

There are about fifty eight restaurants in the Eiffel Tower. A hostess guided us to our table. I wore a white dress and my nude heels. This is my second dinner date with him, but this time, no grandma. The last time, I spent eating while Robert was chuckling at his grandmother's comments and translating some for me.

Like a gentleman, Robert pulled the chair for me and helped me get closer to the table. Then, he sat facing me. He was in formals today. A nice white shirt and a black pant.

His hair, though, it's FREAKING messy and still he manages to look FLAWLESS!

"What do you want to order?" His accent is so thick and sexy. Not that I don't like the American accent. But come on, who doesn't like cute guys with the English accent?

No one! That's the answer.

"Whatever you order!" I tell him because I am just not in the mood to contemplate and order.

"How was your day?" He asks me and I look up at him from the table. I am just not able to bring myself to make eye contact with him. Especially after that night.

"Umm..I helped my aunt at the shop for a while and then Went shopping with my brothers. What about you?"

"Well, I took my grandma for a walk, read her a story, cooked for her and then did some paintings."

"Sounds nice, what did you paint today?"

"You'll be surprised to hear, I tried to complete that girl's face."

"And did you complete?"

He chuckles a little and his eyes gleam in the lighting.

"Except the eyes, yes I've completed. I guess the eyes are just complicated to draw. Every other feature was easy to paint."

As he was talking, our orders arrive.

I start eating and he starts to laugh. The people around send us some dirty glares. He starts to laugh hysterically, I drop my fork and whisper shout at him to stop. After a good five minutes, he stops and hands me a tissue.

I open the tissue and there was a number. And then it hit me, the girl who served the food must have given it to him.

"I guess she didn't know we were on a date. " he tells between laughter. His cheeks became red of all that laughing.

"And, you laughed that hard for that? If the waiter was a guy, im sure he would have given me his number too."

"I didn't say he wouldn't darling! Let's eat."

I get up from my seat and walk out to the balcony and the entire city is seen.

I am angry that he laughed so much and that he didn't think, that I was beautiful enough for a waiter to flirt with me.

"Angry?" I hear him over my shoulders but I choose to ignore him and continue to admire the beautiful city of Paris at night.

The lighted buildings and the parks. Amazing place to stand in summer with the breeze kissing your cheeks and your hair flying in the direction of the wind. To top it, couples kissing around you.

I feel a warm hand on mine and I turn around to see Robert.

"I'm sorry. You're so beautiful that any guy would love to make you his girl. I was laughing because I found that girl's gesture funny. This is our date." We lock eyes and a brief moment passes by.

And then, he surprises me by kissing me on top of the Eiffel Tower. I felt like I was on top of the world.

The kiss was soft and he held me close. His embrace was so warm that I wished that the kiss lasted longer. But we had to go back in to complete our dinner.

The best thing I like about him is that he holds me close to him, very delicately like I'm fragile.

That's going to be one of my favorite kisses ever.

A romantic kiss on top of the Eiffel Tower.

Check on the bucket list!
