Chapter Eight

On the plane to Paris, Dad asked if I knew the reason why he wanted to fly me to Paris without Mom.

“Why?” I asked.

"Because I wanted you to see Paris for the first time with a man who you know will love you for the rest of your life." He smiled.

I hugged him. "Thanks Dad, you're the best!"

"I know," he said and I rolled my eyes, “and Sadie."

"Yeah?"

"Nash really loves you.” He said. “Don’t ask why. I just know, okay?”

“Okay.”

"Oh my God," I said as I entered my suite. I let go of Beast's leash and sat on the bed.

I didn't expect my dad would reserve us a superior suite here in Hotel Plaza Athenee. I just thought we'd stay in a twin room or something.

"Hi, hon," Dad said. "You ready?"

"Am I ready for what?" I asked.

He checked the time on his watch. "The tour around Paris, Sade, it's eight in the morning here."

"Oh, my phone says -"

"Change the time zone. Are you going to change?" He asked.

"Yeah," I said. "I'm going to take a really quick shower. Please watch Beast for me."

He called Beast and closed my door. Thank God they allowed pets here.

After ten minutes, I chose to wear my lace mini dress with long sleeves and crochet trim at cuffs and hem and matched it with my Steve Madden Women's Altetude Open-Toe Pump in bone. I grabbed my clutch, which had my camera, make-up, and some money, and headed out.

We went to the Eiffel Tower first since it was fifteen minutes away from our hotel. Seeing the view from the top was breathtaking. I didn't want to leave, but our tour guide told us that we could visit it again after the tour.

We went to the Arc de Triomphe, Opera Garnier, Grand Arche de la Défense, Les Invalides, Cluny, and many more. It was a quite a long tour, but it was worth it. And besides, we could visit the rest tomorrow.

“HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!” Dad sang.

It was midnight in Paris, and Dad was holding a piece of vanilla cupcake with a candle on top. I blew the candle and made a wish: I wish Nash was with me.

Okay, I was stupid. I just turned sixteen and wished for the guy who I left back home to be by my side. I didn't even give him a chance to speak.

“Open your gift.” Dad said and I placed the cupcake beside me.

I unwrapped the gift and saw the new iPhone 4S. “OH MY GOD!!!”

“I know, you didn't asked for it, but you haven't asked for a new phone since you had your BlackBerry Javelin.” He said.

“Thanks Dad!” I hugged him so tight.

“No worries. Go eat your cake. I'll see you in the morning.” He kissed my forehead and left.

Beast already ate half of my cupcake, so I let him finish it. I had a movie marathon with Beast 'til the sun came up since I couldn’t sleep. I was planning on going to sleep for about an hour when my door opened.
