Half a Heart

France

France was just like I thought it would be... Breath Taking. We started off by going to our hotel which was called Mille Vie.It was so beautiful and being in it made me feel like royalty. Our room was on the top floor, room 4 on floor 26. When we entered the room it was like entering a castle. Food everywhere, gold trim lining the floor, an my favourite, the huge window that you could see all of France out of.

It was morning when we got there so we began the day with a tour of Paris. First of all was a trip to the Louvre. Paintings lined the walls making me believe I was in a dream each time I would look at one. I could name most of the painting such as Scream and of course the Monalisa. They were painting that I dreamed of looking at when I was older if I ever got to be older.

Next was the Arc de Triomphe. Towering above us it felt as if though we were civilians in ancient times. Chariots floated through my mind as I looked at all the carvings in the side of the white statue. But by the time our tour was finished it was almost supper time and I hadn't ate all day.

When we got back to the hotel there was a present sitting on our bed. "Go ahead open it" Daniel told be with the worlds biggest grin on his face. I ripped through the pink tissue paper as fast as I could. Whenever it was it was in a box with a card taped to the top. When I looked at the card it read tonight is a special night. It is a night of food and dance. I will not tell you where you are going but look pretty and we will head out at 8. Love your boyfriend. OMG he just said he is my boyfriend. So that makes me his...his.... Girlfriend. I instantly began to cry with joy. As I opened the package there was a long red cocktail dress, another pair of heals, and a sparkley black hair clip.

At 6:30 we headed to the restaurant. Even though we shared a room Daniel stood outside so he wouldn't see me all dressed up until we were going to leave. As I walked out the door he turned his head towards me and his jaw dropped to his knees. "Holley crap! You look Gorgeous!" He said "you have a pretty good sense of fashion I guess." I said to him. "Or it is the fact that you are stunning and couldn't make any outfit look bad."

It was a quite taxi ride to the restaurant. We held hands the whole way there while my head rested gently on his shoulder. When we got there Daniel got out and opened my door then we walked in.

The restaurant was very elegant. The lights were dimmed and candle light appeared on the tables. The tabels were lined in a white cloth and the chairs were rapped with a white ribbon. The band played relaxing slow songs on the dance floors and many couples stood on the small wooden stage dancing.

" Reservation for Mr and Mrs Green"Daniel told the waiter.

"Right this way."

We ordered our food, ate and talked for hours. "Would you care to dance" he questioned me as he held out his hand. "I would be honoured" I replied as we both giggled because of how old we sounded.

We swayed back and forth to the song a thousand years in the moonlight. My head on his shoulder and him guiding me through the dance.

As we walked back to the hotel we stopped at the eiffle tower. And walked right underneath it.

We walked back to the hotel and hoped into the elevator. We stood side by side with our backs to the wall as the doors closed. Once they closed he flipped over I front of me and kissed me. Once we finished he whispered "I've been waiting all night to do this" and then the elevator doors opened and people begun to fludd into the elevator. Daniel suddenly stepped back.

When we reached our floor Daniel walked me down to my room, pressed me up against the wall and kissed me again. "I love you Lillian" he said as he turned to leave. The words came back to me as a shock and then without another thought it came out. "I love you too Daniel"

I guess Paris really is the city of love.
