Reunited

Chapter 3

I'm on my way to the café and when I get there Jonathan was already waiting, ugh pour l'amour de Dieu it was 9:20, I was late.

"Hey Jonathan sorry I'm late, my husband got home this morning. He was out all night. He was probably performing or something" I told him as I sat down.

He was wearing a blue button down shirt with a black tie, with the sleeves rolled up, he was also wearing some dress jeans. He looked really nice behind him I noticed a really nice suite jacket probably gucci; I'm a designer of course I poke my nose in things like that.

"Husband?" he said kind of surprised.

"Oh, yea I'm married" I told him.

"Oh, really what does he do? if you don't mind me asking?" he said.

"Of course not" I said with a smile "He's a singer, not very well known, but he sings in clubs and stuff like that. He's really good too That's how I met him actually"

"Cool, that's very nice" he said with a sincere smile.

"Yea, what about you are you seeing someone?" I asked him.

"Yea actually her name is Christine, she's great, she's also a model and dancer" he responded.

The waiter came and we ordered some coffee and pastries. We talked for what seemed forever, in a good way that is. After we finished we went to Champ de Mars for a walk, the Champ the Mars is this really beautiful park where you can see the Eiffel from perfectly. We walked around the grounds just talking about how we came to be here in Paris. I told him how I'd been here for about three years now and he told me he has been here for just a couple of months.

"You honestly never get used to this beautiful place, it's just as amazing the first time you see it as the fiftieth time you do" I said looking up at the Eiffel tower. I stopped to take in the view. Then he smiled and said "Yea never" while looking at me. I looked at him and we both smiled and we kept walking until we reached the great Eiffel.

Once we reached the tower I just kind of ran towards the middle and did a spin until I was facing him once again. I smiled and said "I still can't believe I'm here I'm actually here!" I said to him kind of loud.
"It's not the first time is it?" he asked with this adorable twist on his face, I don't know it was kind of weird looking.

"No! I just still can't believe that after everyone telling me that I should stop dreaming and think realistically and that I would never make it here.I'm.Actually.Here" I said with a really wide goofy smile. He smiled back and stood beside me looking up, "this is one really big building" he said

"1,063 feet tall to be exact" I said with a laugh.

"Huh pretty and smart as always" he said while giving me a friendly push.

"Well tank you but I already knew that" I joked while rising my hands to form a frame like arc under my chin.

"Would you care for some lunch my dearest Jasmine" he said while he bowed and reached his hand for me to take.

"I would love some lunch, thank you very much" I said and took his hand.

"You are very welcome" he said pulling me away from the tower. We got into his Camero and headed to Les Ombres and we both ordered the same thing, asparagus soup and scallop curry which was very very good I'm not gonna lie, we also ordered desert I got the original strawberry cheesecake and he got this chocolate cake with cream on top.

"This is really good Jasmine, like you don't understand is like eating a cloud of chocolate while you drown in flavor and love and...You know what, taste it" he said giving me his fork with cake in it.

"Okay but I don't see-" I said "Oh my God Jonathan this is amazing!"

"I know right! Indescribably amazing" he said.

"Okay now you have to taste the cheesecake is probably like the best you you've ever had" I said smiling.

"Alright but I bet is not as goo-" he stopped and closed his eyes then said "Jasmine if I could move into this place I think I'd become the most out of shape person on earth because I would live off of this"He said it with a straight serious face and I just started laughing "Well if you lived here I'd visit every day just because of this food"

"Maybe we can make it happen but we need a plan" he said with that plotting face he always made when he had some sort of stupid idea.

"Okay, but what's your magnifically ridiculous plan that will 100% fail" I said smiling.

Then the waiter came over and asked if we needed anything and Jonathan said "Yes my good sir, but I don't actually need anything I just have one question"

"What is your question sir?" the waiter said.

Jonathan looked at the waiter with his serious face and squinting eyes and said "Can I move in to this restaurant and eat all your deserts?".

The waiter just looked confused then finally said "I'll give your complements to the chef young man" and walked away into the kitchen.

Jonathan turned to me and said "Well I didn't hear a no".

I just laughed and said "You never changed did you" smiling.

Then he said "NOPE!" smiling like a child with his perfect smile.

After the restaurant we went to the art gallery not very far from there. It was funny to hear Jonathan say "this looks like a blob, very pretty blob though" or "those are really pretty lines". He squinted his eyes and wrinkled his nose in the most adorable way when he concentrated on a painting, he really didn't know what was so amazing about blobs and lines but he seemed to genuinely like them. I explained a couple of them to him and he just looked at me and said "how do you know so much?". I just smiled and laughed, he never did change much, he was still Jonathan. The Jonathan I had known almost all my life.

It was around ten at night and he decided to take me home. We got out of the car and stood under a lamp post and it felt like a spot light in all the darkness that surrounded us. We just looked into each other's eyes and smiled. We didn't talk for a while it was all silent, but a nice kind of silence, a warm and comforting silence. Then he finally said "Jasmine I had a really nice day today, thank you" with a wide smile.

Then I said "I did too Jonathan and your welcome...I guess. Thank.You.Too.Aswell.Yea. It was a really nice day..."I finally shut up.

"Vous êtes le bienvenu" he said in this tired and inviting voice. There was a sudden pause and we were leaning closer to each other, but as we got way to close we snapped back into reality. The reality that he was with someone and I was married. So we just hugged and he told me he'd call me later.

As we were walking in opposite directions he yelled back "Jasmine! Wait!"

I immediately turned around and said "Yea?"

"I don't have your number" he said and we both walked back to our spot light and I put my phone number in his phone. "Thanks" he said and I replied with, "No problem" and then we walked our separate ways. As I stepped inside the door I heard my phone vibrate. It was a text from an unknown number.

I forgot to say goodnight...So goodnight. It's Jonathan by the way.okay.goodnight.

I replied

Goodnight Jonathan.
