Recap : 

I mean how am I supposed to survive alone with Elliot in a room he must be experienced and I'm well .. not. like literally none whatsoever he might laugh in my face if he knew that he was my first kiss. 

A knock on the door startled me 

"Aria I'm ordering room service and we can just watch a movie until its time to leave" 

"Okayyy"

Ok aria you can do this you're a big girl just go out there and talk to him after the shower. 

I Came out of the bathroom dressed placing my dirty clothes in a bag , i called out for Elliot and turned around to look for him when i didnt get a reply 

"Elliot we need to ..where the hell is your shirt?" 

Damn him and that smirk, this is going to be harder than I thought.



Chapter 19 - Bonjour !

"I didn't feel the shirt vibe ... maybe you should take of yours we could be twins" he started taking slow steps towards me looking me up and down


"I ..I i.. Umm"

He roared with laughter

"I was just kidding shortcake just wanted to see your reaction and it was worth it"

"I'm glad to see you find pleasure in my embarrassment" I snapped at him

"Ohh come on don't be like that I was only kidding"


he looked at me with a sad face that would make anybody melt

"Ohh quit the puppy dog eyes"

"Works every time , I'm gonna go get a shirt find a movie for us to watch and I ordered room service" with that he walked away

I wouldn't mind if he stayed shirtless though his back was perfectly sculpted and ...

"Stop checking me out shortcake" he said without even looking back and I knew he was smirking ugh.

---------------------------------------------

"Aria ... aria..."

"What?"

I hate when I'm in the middle of a good dream and people wake me up.

"You fell asleep after you ate and it's time for us to get going"

I jumped up at the sound of that , to say I was excited would be an understatement I was on the run , and going to Paris of all places with my boy.. wait what the hell are we I know we confessed our love to each other but we thought we were dying so what are we now ?

"Elliot"

"Hmm?" he had his back to me packing up some of our things

"What are we?"

"What do you mean" he had a confused expression masking how I felt inside

"I mean what are we" I gestured between the two of us. his mouth opened forming an 'O' in understanding

"I know you told me that you love me and I love you and I don't know if titles are your thing but we're here together and we're going away together and I've never been with anybody before so I don't know what to expect and i..."

He put his hand over my mouth an amused glint in his eyes

"You know that you ramble on when you're nervous"

I couldn't talk so I just nodded and he laughed.

"I mean it was supposed to be a surprise but since you brought it up"

He tugged me to the bed , his hand still covering my mouth , I tried getting it off but he refused to move it.

"If I take my hand off will you keep quiet ?"  he let out a low chuckle

I nodded

"Okay ..."

He knelt down so we were on the same eye level

"So I've never done this hole relationship thing so don't say anything ..."

He took out a piece of paper and cleared his throat before reading

"Aria , from the moment I saw you , well bumped into you I was intrigued by you and you were the only girl at school who didn't look at me like a piece if meat and you were a hungry wild animal" he shuddered at that and I laughed leave it to him to find a way to compliment himself 

"You're probably the only person in my life that was so persistent in getting to know me and I don't why but I just felt this connection with you telling me that I could trust you"

I smiled at that "I felt it too"

"And now all I want to do is keep you safe and protected from all that's going on in your life because you deserve so much better than that and I want you in my life .. I guess what I'm trying to say is will you be my girlfriend"

I bite out laughing "you know how corny that was right like something out of a book or movie?"

"Hey ! don't ruin the moment and an answer would be great you know" he looked around and scratched the back of his neck 

Something I know he did when he was nervous and I decided to get a little revenge from before

"I don't knoww... I mean it's awfully sudden and I'm just so emotionally fragile right now especially with everything going on and everyone hurting me .." I sighed with watery eyes

The look on his face was priceless

"I didn't mean to rush into anything.. I .. bring... memories .. I'm sorry I shouldn't have said anything"

Ok that was enough torture.

"Of course I'll be your girlfriend you idiot"

"You were just messing with me weren't you"

"Yup" I said popping the 'p'

his eyes turned from nervous and embarrassed to mischievous

"You know that was nice girlfriend"

He said coming closer , oh no this wasn't going to end pretty

"Wait Elliot you know we should really be on our way out"

"I'll get you back for that aria"

"no you won't, come on lover boy lets go."


---------------------------------------------

Elliot's P.O.V

She's right i won't. I'm falling more and more for this girl everyday and I could still tell that she was afraid of letting her real emotions show

I was determined to let her see that I only wanted to protect her and love her no matter how long it took.

The train ride to Paris was relatively long filled with arias excitement and questions I finally got some quiet when she decided to teach herself

French with a book she got from the book store cursing her self every time she got a pronunciation wrong that she should have taken French instead of Spanish.

It was hilarious to watch so I decided I would not tell her that I spoke fluent French and was planning to teach her myself.

"Aria.."

"Huh?"

"When we get there which will be about five minutes from now an old friend of mine will be picking us up"

"Ok what's his name"

"Pierre , but he's a bit different.."

"Define different"

She looked at me with skeptical eyes

"He has a really bubbly personality"

"Then how is he friends with you" she said with amusement clear in her eyes

"Haha . he also has a wild fashion sense for a guy"

"Then how do you know him?" she was full on laughing now

"When I came to Paris once when I was 16 and I went clubbing he was getting his ass kicked outside and I saved him and from then he just stuck as a friend and he's really cool"

"I'm starting to think you like saving people"

"Only the ones worth saving"

She leaned forward and kissed me a soft sweet and tender kiss that held so much emotion , she pulled back and looked me in the eyes

"Thank you."

Aria's P.O.V

"But I can carry my own bags"

Silence.

"Elliot"

Silence.

"Elliot !"

Silence.

"You know Elliot it's not nice to ignore people and walk away from them when they're talking to you"

Ugh. why did he have to be such a guy all I wanted to do was carry a bag. idiot.

"bonjour Elliot Mon frère ive vous manqué"  

(My brother Elliot hello ive missed you)

He looked like a French model and he had an amazing fashion sense , a little out there for a guy but gorgeous none the less. His eyes landed on me

" shes trop belles, même pour vous, ne elle speack des français"

(shes too beautiful even for you , does she speack any french)

He shook his head and laughed

"Non, elle ne peut pas, elle a essayé de se enseigner à partir d'un livre stupide"

(No, she can not, she tried to teach herself from a stupid book)

Pierre looked at my face in amusement as my eyes widened  Elliot knows how to speak french

"Elliot you know how to speak french"

"Maybeeee ..." his eyes glistened with amusement

"You had fun watching me try to teach myself French didn't you"

"A little bit"

I was just about to lunge at him when Pierre stepped in.

"Don't kill him love , we will both teach you and you'll be speaking fluent French in no time , lets get you settled and I'll take you two to the best restaurant around"

"Really ?" Now I was excited

"Yes really aria , do you have a dress and heels with you?

"No" I didn't really have use for dresses and heels because I never went out but I loved imagining myself in them going out.

"Then it's settled we're going SHOPPING!" Pierre exclaimed

Elliot groaned and we laughed. I think I'm going to like it here I could worry about my problems later and getting back into school and all that right now I was going to have the time of my life shopping and dining in paris. 

Pierre and i looped our arms through each other and took off chatting animatedly.
