Nerissa & Q

A Year Later

One Year Later:

Monday // Cafe Grind

❝Hey love, I got a bouquet of carrots right now from work, and the card says: To my lovely girlfriend Nerissa, here's some carrots. As much as I love your, um, gift. I have to ask, why carrots?❞

"Saw it in a movie. Plus, it's our one year since we've been together. We have to do something different and unexpected. Speaking of more unexpected things. You have to leave the cafe right now in ten seconds."

❝I am working right now I cannot just-❞

"Eight, seven-"

❝Alright, alright I'm moving. Okay, I'm almost out the door.❞

"Good. Four, three, two-"

❝Quentin, why are you here? In person? Shouldn't you be at work?❞

Nerissa's POV:

"Hang up the phone baby," He said to me with a grin spread across his face with his hands behind his back, "One. Hey there."

I stare him with confusion on my face, ❝Love, what is this about?❞

"I bought us plane tickets," Quentin told me as he showed his hand that was holding two plane tickets. He kept the grin on his face.

❝Wh...where? If you say California I think I might just break up with you,❞ I say with a teasing smile that spread across my face,❝It's not California is it?❞

At this point my hands are already wrapped around his neck while we were standing outside Cafe Grind. He shook his head at me, "Nope. What would you say if these tickets were for...Paris?"

❝Paris? Paris, France?❞ I ask. Clearly, I am hoping that it would be a yes.

"Yes. Paris, France. We leave tomorrow. How is that for our one year celebration?"

❝I really love you,❞ I say right before I give him a kiss.

"I love you more dimples."

Tuesday // Paris

❝You idiot. I cannot believe you got lost, IN PARIS I MIGHT ADD. Love, how did this happen again? Explain from the beginning.❞

"The taxi guy didn't speak English, so when I said our hotels name, he thought I meant this shady ass place downtown! He drove off as soon as I got out and now I'm stuck, please, help me?"

❝I'll be there in five minutes.❞

"Remember when we first met? I called you for coffee and what did I get? A feisty brunette. This reminds me of that exact moment."

❝This sounds like every other conversation we have when you're being an idiot.❞

"I still love you."

❝I still love you too, idiot.❞

"Thank you for coming to my rescue!"

❝Thank you for coming into my life.❞

Wednesday // Paris

❝Babe...I think I got lost on the way to the clothing store.❞

"Oh, so it's my turn to find you now?"

❝Oh piss off!❞

"Yeah, yeah, I'll piss off. I'll come to get you."

❝So much for not having phone conversations while in Paris.❞

"What can we say? We can't help it. It's our thing."

❝What an odd thing to have.❞

"You're the best thing that's ever happened to me."

❝If you propose over the phone one day, I'll cry of joy and laughter. Just letting you know.❞

Author's Note:

Hey all you lovely people that have been reading Nerissa & Q! It's very sad to say that this story will end tomorrow.

I have had a roller-coaster of both joy and sadness while writing this story. Some of these chapters did have some real life experiences of mine (on the days it happened too) to inspire me to write those. I do hope you all have been enjoying this story and to go check out my other stories if you haven't already (a little self promo, not sorry ha ha).

The last part will be up tomorrow and I do hope you all will enjoy it! Thanks for voting! :)
