I wake up to Luke pushing my shoulder. "Jessy, wake up" he says softly. I wake up to notice everyone around me moving. We landed in Paris! Everyone clapping and ready to venture off into the city of love. We all grab our carry on and head off the plane thanking the pilot for a great flight. Once we get wifi in the airport all of our phones were going off due to taking them off airplane mode. I received a text from my dad. Great.
Dad: 'Jessica I'm so disappointed. When you come home we need to talk. Seriously. Me you Izzy and Jackie. I'm not liking this whole rebelling side of you guys. You can't keep running'

Nothing pisses me off more then doing something once and people using the 'you can't keep'
Keep
Keep?!?!?!?!? I've done it once. His daughter got pregnant at 15 and he says I'm rebelling for going, WITH AN ADULT, to Paris to celebrate my birthday. He is delusional. I ignore the text because right now because i want to enjoy my time. We get our luggages and head for the cab to take us to our hotel room. On the way there Me Luke and his mom were looking at the beautiful scenery that you really only get to see in movies. Our admiration had to come to an end when the cab pulled up to the hotel. We got everything out of the trunk, payed the driver, and headed into our hotel and checked ourselves in. We later go to find the room.

"514, this is us" Liz, Luke's mom, says.

"Great. I wanna go to sleep." Luke says rubbing his eyes in exhaustion.

We walk into a room with 2 beds. That's exactly what we've expected but now thinking of it and seeing it in front of us, we realized there was a problem. Either I sleep with Liz, or Luke sleeps with Liz or me and Luke......yeah.

"Ok so Luke darling, you are sleeping with mama for the few days" Liz states simply.
Luke's nostrils flare right away and I for one had to bite my lip so I don't laugh aloud.

"I'm 16 mom. Not 5" Luke says annoyed.

"Exactly, it's isn't cute when you sleep with girls anymore." Liz was always the best mom for comebacks. I couldn't help but giggle.

"Well then" Luke says grabbing a bunch of blankets and pillows aligning them on the ground. "This is my bed" he says looking at the finished product.

"Very efficient" I state sarcastically.

"Goodnight kiddos"

"Night Mrs Hemmings" Both me and Luke call out causing us to chuckle.

////////////////////////////NEXT MORNING/////////////////////////////

I wake up to Liz shaking her son on the floor.

"LUKE ROBERT HEMMINGS WAKE UP" she used the full name. That means business.

"Mmmmmmmmmmm" he vibrates in response.

"Lukey, get the hell off the floor and wake up so we can do something touristy"

"Oh. I know what to do!!!!! SLEEP! 'Cause that's a foreign thing for you people!!!!" He fakes enthusiasm as he checks the clock when it read 6:32 am. I shot him the death glare.

"Fine. I'll give up. You try to get him up and presentable, less of a dragon attitude and I'll go get breakfast." Liz says to me throwing her hands in surrender.

Once she closes the door Luke jumps on the bed, belly first.

"This is so much better then the floor"

"Luke, out of bed now."

He groans but follows my instructions.

"Good now brush your hair, stop pouting and get dressed."

"Fine" and with that he surprisingly got ready.

Liz came back so we all ate this beautiful French cuisine. It's called bread. Very tasty. We brushed our teeth after and left. Liz went to this museum thing but Luke wanted to take me to the love lock bridge. After we split from Liz, Luke takes a hold of my hand.

"What you can't hold my hand in front of your mommy?" I chuckle slightly acknowledging the sudden sign of affection.

"No" he smirks " it's just we're going to the love lock bridge we should at least look like a couple."

"We look like a couple!!"

"We look like brother and sister pushing and shoving each other all the time"

"Granted"

We made it to the bridge and seeing how many locks were there was overwhelming. How can we even find a spot for ours? Wait. We don't have a lock. Or a key.

"Luke we forgot-" I start when Luke pulls out a lock and key from his pocket. Just a regular lock but the key looked familiar.

"Where's that key from?" I ask

"The box you opened for your birthday with the plane tickets..... You used this key to unlock the box."

"Awwww Luke!!!!!" I hugged him because he was being too cute, I wouldn't have if there was a lot of people around but there wasn't. It was pretty quiet considering its one of the most visited places in Paris. We found an empty place and put out lock on the bridge and wrote with sharpie 'we unlocked a gift with this key that will lock the greatest gift of all. Luke and Jess 2016.' We then held the key and throw it over the bridge watching the water ripple.

"We should come back here in 2026 and look at the lock with our kids and be like. This was ten years ago." He says breaking the silence.

"Haha, ok Luka." I said shortly laughing. "Let's go meet your mom at the museum"

"Im looking at art right now though."

"EW LUKE DON'T EVER DO THAT AGAIN"

"You admit it was cute though" he says with a cheeky grin.

"Maybe.....but very un original!!"
