*Louise's point of view*

After emptying the contents of my stomach onto the pavement, I felt disgusting. The taste of vomit ever so prevalent in my mouth and the fact that Alex was the one rubbing my back and holding my hair up out of my face only added major embarrassment on top of the crappy feeling i already had.

'Are you done being disgusting yet,' David asked from behind me. i turned round to see David holding his nose in disgust at the green liquid that had just exited my stomach.

'This is your fault!' i screamed at him lunging for his neck, only for my assassination attempt to be thwarted by Alex who unbeknownst to me had managed to warp his arm firmly around my waist.

'I thought you hated him,' i whined like the petulant child i am, 'Why are you on his side.'

'Oh trust me when i say that hate is a word too light to describe what i feel towards the man,' He glowered, his mood going down south fast before seeming to snap himself out of a memory and smirking at me before dropping a quick kiss on my neck, 'But i would like to take the time to tell you, I told you so plus, you look especially sexy when your angry and i cant have him appreciating that.'

i gave him a look of disbelief before yanking my body away from his and finally taking in the view around me. we had parked a bit of a distance away from the Eiffel tower, not much, just a mile or two.

'Are we going there?' i asked David while my feet started walking in the direction of the tower.

'Yes, i pulled up a bit farther away because i wanted to try and properly show you the beautiful city of Paris. it is most beautiful on foot,' he replied shrugging nonchalantly as he started behind me.

i could feel the glare that Alex was sporting hot on my neck for ignoring him, but if he was going to continue with his inappropriate behavior, then he was going to get the cold shoulder the entire trip.

As enticing as he was, i knew the problems giving into him would undoubtedly cause. I mean, we could barely get through one day with out some form of argument, granted i was responsible for most of them.

It was more the fact that i liked my Independence more than anything, i moved 6 hours away from home at the age of 18 so that i could get that Independence, that right to decide what i should wear and who i could befriend. If i gave Alex even an inch, i knew he would take a mile.

he was already restricting so many things for me, and while i do recognize that some of it was out of genuine concern, i was also smart enough to realize that he was also very stupid possessive. i don't do stupid possessive. i don't like possessive. It would just lead to both of us getting hurt.

I tried to convince myself of this as David showed me the buildings and told me the history behind it. You would never have guessed just how historical a city Paris actually was. i only ever Thought of it as the Fashion Capital and the city of love, but it was so much more than that.

Glancing back at Alex, i found him to be staring intensely at me to the point where i felt my face overheat and i found myself quickly turning back around.

'Are you okay?' David asked me, concern laced in his voice as he looked at my suddenly very red face.

'Uh, yes,' I stammered, ' I just really need to pee. my ovaries feel ready to burst.'

i cringed at the excuse that had automatically exited my mouth. Urine wasn't even kept in the damn ovaries!

'Oh yes, females and their need to pee,' David sighed dramatically, 'Do not worry, we are almost at the eiffel tower where we will have dinner and you can do whatever you ladies do.'

'David...never mind,' i began amused by his antics as we entered the lift at the tower.

As the lift rose higher, the view of the city took my breath away, the lights of the streets below like a blanket of fairy light's. It was almost magical, drawing me into a trance. It was only as we got higher up and the people became ants that I felt the first string of fear. When the lift jolted to a stop, I followed everyone off only to feel very unstable on my feet. There was too much glass around creating the illusion of no barriers. Nothing to stop my clumsy ass from plummeting down to my immediate death.
Grimacing at the gruesome image, I grabbed the nearest hard object. It just happened to be Alex.

'Pumpkin, I know you like it rough and all, but please, not in front of the kids,' Alex said not so quietly earning a few stares from nosy people who couldn't keep out of other people's business. Glaring at him, I yanked my hand away before using that same hand to slap his arm.

'Keep your voice down!' I scowled giving him a little push.. I felt my eyes widen. It was like slow motion after that.
His arms swung back as he seemed to lose his balance as he began to fall backwards.

Moving faster than I ever had, I grabbed his arm and yanked him as hard as I could forward feeling relieved when I collided with his hard figure and his tantalizing scent washed over me.

Alex's obnoxious laugh vibrated through his chest and through me as he tightened his arms against me.

'Oh you should have seen your face,' he chuckled down at me,'As if you would be able to push me over.'

Glaring at him, I couldn't help but to join him as a soft laugh escaped me.

'Oh my god I was so worried you were gonna fall over the edge and die,' I confessed softly, my heart still beating a hundred miles per hour.

'I didn't know you cared pumpkin,' he said smiling down at me. I frowned.

'Of course I care,' I replied softly looking him in the eye, ' I don't want you hurt.'

'If any one, it would most likely be you to fall,' He chuckled as he burrowed his head into my shoulder,

'But don't worry, Ill always catch you when you fall.'

My Ovaries just exploded I think.

'I've never felt so single before in my life, 'David's voice said, destroying the mood.

Alex let out a low grunt but I burrowed my head into his chest that few seconds longer.

I couldn't stop smiling.

*Hi guys! I'm not sure if I told you but I got into Uni and im super excited but stressed as I have to buy so much stuff! This means the chapter lengths are only going to be around this length for the next few weeks until I start.

I liked the ending, but not the beginning as I could not seem to get the ideas down. But its coming together, I know it's a slow paced story but im trying to make it slightly realistic. Were like 40% through I think so a lot left lol. I hope you guys liked this so dont forget to vote, comment and follow me.
