I Promise You

(17) When Were Staying in Paris {Part Two}

The train ride didn't take as long as I thought it would. We arrived around 7 PM and caught a cab to our hotel, which was way bigger than Jake had told me about. "This is the hotel you were talking about?!" I asked shocked, looking at him. "Yeah, it's a little small though" He said and my mouth dropped open. "I was joking" He said and I was still looking at him. "I usually live in rooms like this one" He said and put our bags down on the couch. "I don't know, if you are blind or something, but this isn't a room! This is a freaking suite!" I said and he sat down in one of the two armchairs, watching me as I explored the suite.

It must be quite amusing for him, but to me it was a whole new experience. My parents, let alone my family could never afford a place like this. Especially not for an entire weekend! They would freak if they found out that I stayed at an expensive place like this. Well, they would also freak out if they would find out I sneaked off to Paris with my boyfriend being just 15 years old. I bet my mom never did something like that when she was my age. She's way too nice for that and way too well raised. Not that they messed up with me, but I wasn't only raised by Olivia Copeland, but also by Ryder Harding.

"I still can't wrap my head around it" I said, letting myself fall into his lap. "Well, welcome to the life on the other side" He said and I leaned against him, cuddling myself into his shoulder with my head. "Are you tired?" He asked and I nod "A little maybe" I said and he helped me get up "I'm gonna go and take a shower" I said, briefly kissed him before heading of.

After I was done, I used the hair dryer and brushed it, before going to the bed room, where Jake was already laying in bed, asleep. "What a guy..." I said and laid down next to him and fell asleep quickly.

"Morning sunshine" Were the words I woke up to the next morning. I groaned and turned my face away. I wasn't a morning person at all. "Prom" He said, but I still refused to face him. "Go away" I said and burried my face in the pillow. "Not leaving" He said and I groaned, but turned to face him. "Morning" He said with a smile on his face. His brown hair was still messy, meaning he hasn't been up yet. It was the first time I saw him without any hair products and it was the first time he saw me without make up.

"Come here" He said and tried to kiss me, but I tried to burry my face again. "I got morning breath" I whined, but he didn't stop. I was the one that gave up and turned around, giving him a chance to quickly kiss me, before getting up. Just a short time later I heard the shower being turned on and closed my eyes again, but I couldn't fall asleep anymore. I was fully awake, or at least in some awake state that wouldn't allow me to go back to sleep.

About five minutes later someone knocked at the door and since I was too lazy to get up I yelled "JAKE!"

"Coming" He yelled back, coming out of the bathroom in a robe. He went to answer the door and came back with food. "Breakfast in bed? What did I do to deserve that?" I asked, sitting up. "What she doesn't do for you, she does for food" He said and put the tablet down on the bed. "What do you think?" He asked with a smile. "That the chef knows how to make food look delicious. I would say it in french, but I don't know how to speak the language" I said and took a crossaint and dipped it in some jam, before stuffing it into my mouth.

Jake was sitting on the other side of the tablet, eating a crossaint as well. "I'm guessing you like it" He said while I was stuffing my mouth with the third one. I tried to answer him, but my mouth was too full, so I just nod.

After breakfast we got changed and headed out the door. We were going to explore Paris. We left the room and Jake looked the door, before grabbing my hand and we walked to the elevator. Downstairs we went outside and looked around, before I looked at him "What's your plan?" I asked him, but he refused to tell me. "I can see the Eiffeltower from here" I said excited. "We're getting to that later, when it's darker. First of some education" He said and I groaned. "I thought you are good at date planning?" I asked him confused. "It's barely educational. It's a museum" He said and I was still not convinced.

"Please tell me the museum is a glass pyramid or I'm going to stop moving" I said and he laughed "Is there any other?" He asked and suddenly I was excited to go and see a museum.

Just a short time later we were walking through the entrance of the Louvre, without waiting in line. "What does your family own here?" I asked almost annoyed. "The Abel, but they also put a lot of money into this place" He said. "So the expensive hotel we are staying in... you're getting to stay for free?!" I asked shocked. "It's kind of my room and yes, it doesn't cost me anything" He said and I sighed "Good, I was starting to feel bad about all the money you are spending on me" I said and walked a bit faster.

I wasn't usually interested in history, not even when it's taught by Mrs. Brooks at Jefferson High, but with Jake, it was actually something I wanted to learn something about. We spent the entire morning and noon at the Louvre, before we git something to eat in a small cafe. "Mr. Abrahams" The waitress greeted him. "Jolie, how are you?" He asked the mid 30 woman. "I'm good. Thank you" He said and then seemed to notice me "And who is she?" She asked in her french accent. "My girlfriend Promise" He introduced me and I smiled at her. "Young love, so adorable" She said and I think I blushed a little "What's the special occasion?" She asked and Jake smiled at me "I get to call this beautiful young woman my girlfriend since one month" He said and laid his arm down on the table. I noticed what he was doing and grabbed his hand. "You are getting our special. On the house" She said. "As long as there isn't meat in it" I said and she laughed "No meat" She said and left. "She's adorable" I said in a sweet voice. "Does this place belong to your dad too?" I asked a little colder. "No, the owner is an older lady, Jolie's mother to be exact. She is one of the not so many women that didn't let my dad get his way"

"She must be really brave then" I said and saw how Jake was blushing. "Awe! I don't need to be jealous, right?" I asked and he rolled his eyes, which made me laugh again.

After dinner we walked through the streets and took a lot of photos. We stepped by the Arc de Triomphe and took even more photos. Notre Dame de Paris was also on our list. When it was getting darker, Jake brought me to the Eiffel tower, which was beautiful at night. It was lit beautiful. I couldn't even describe it in words.

Jake and I were standing at the top of the Eiffel tower, arm in arm and looked at the breathtaking view of Paris at night. "Now I know why they call it the city of love" I said and laid my head onto his shoulder. "I love you" Jake suddenly said and I raised my head and looked at him confused. "I know it's maybe too early to say, but I do. I love you Promise Clarissa Copeland" He said and I could feel some tears escaping my eyes. "I love you too, Jacob Abrahams" I said and we faced each other and kissed. He leaned in to kiss me and it was like magic, even better than that day in London on our second date. This was something else. Something special. "Also, never call me Jacob again" He said laughing. "Okay Mister Handsome" I said, laughing as well.

Back at the hotel we were laying in bed, cuddling, watching tv. Some show in french, so I didn't understand a word. Suddenly I heard a voice inside my head and I listened to it. I turned to face Jake and started kissing him. I don't know how much time later we lost control and were controlled by something different than our heads. We were so deep in the moment we forgot everything around us. It was just the two of us. In this entire world. Just Jake and I.
