I get ready, as I put my hair in a low ponytail and slip on my black loafers to complete my outfit and makeup. I am wearing black tapered trousers that are crop just above my ankles paired with a long sleeve black top and red silk scarf that I tied around my neck with matching red lipstick and red Prada Saffiano Lux crossbody bag.

We head to the streets of Paris that is flooded with beautiful french locals and tourists mixing like a buzzing bees. I see a small café at the corner of my eye and skip towards it while I grab Doug's hand and gently lead him inside the cafe. ' THE CAFÉ ' is want it's called, it is empty.
We take our sits at the back of the café and taking in the strong smell of lavender that is infused throughout the place. There are plies and plies of books scattered everywhere and a coffee bar behind the desk that opposite us.
All of a sudden a small ball of golden fur leaps on top of the table in front of us and starts to attack us with endless amount of kisses. I couldn't help but laugh this pup is adorable.
"Milo..MILOOO..get down!" A thick french accent appears from the door behind the desk, she looks like she is in her 70s but she dresses youthful. She quickly picks up milo and wipes the table down.
"I am so sorry about Milo, I just got him and is quite a lot to handle" she blushes. "Oh I am Matilda, I didn't hear come in... oh hope you guys weren't waiting for a long time because the bell is broken and that usually tells me if anyone just care in or out" Matilda turns and points towards the door and back to us.
We nod politely and Doug says, "It's ok, and we happen to like this pup."
"If you don't mind can I get green tea please and Doug" I ask.
"Oh yeah can I have coffee with two spoons of sugar and splash of milk. Please." He asks before turning to me and start to play with my hair. Matilda nods her head with a wide warm smile and goes off to the opposite side of the room. Leaving Milo hooping on my lap and lying down slowly nodding off to sleep.
"You look trés beautiful my darling, I am so lucky that I get to spend time with you and you" Doug says as he locks eyes at mine.
"You are too kind and too precious. And the crazy thing is that we only known each other for a few weeks but it feels like I known forever" I take a sip of my tea.
We carry on talking to each other until it starts to full to late afternoon. We take our last sip and walk towards the desk, as I carry the still sleepy Milo in my arms.
"Thank you for having us" Doug pays and smiles at Matilda. I hand over the little pup to her.
As she rocks the pup, she whispers. "Oh how I do love young love, just remember kids love is a beautiful thing." She smiles at us.

"I want to treat you, with a dinner this evening." Doug states with a soft voice.
"I would love that" I say while we are pasting a Tiffany & Co shop.
"But what will we wear?" I ask, as I haven't packed anything for a fancy dinner.
"It's alright, my dear. I will get you something. You just go back to the hotel and relax" Doug chuckles and kisses my forehead. We went on our separate ways.

6:30pm I arrive at the hotel, finding myself starting to boil the kettle and fill the vintage bathtub with lukewarm water and bubbles.
I wrap a crisp clean towel around my body and warp my hair with a smaller towel and start to perfectly paint my nails, after I lay on the middle of the bed and start to flick through all the movies, then stop when I see Audrey Hepburn appear on the large flat screen TV that is mounted on the wall.
After 30 minutes of watching Breakfast at Tiffany's, I turn of the TV and put on classical music. Heading over to the vanity table to do my makeup. Firstly I apply a prime that makes my skin look healthy and glowing, then I apply a little drop of concealer to cover my bags under my eyes after power my face so my skin doesn't get oily throughout the night. I get my blush and light brush on the upper part of my cheeks, then I fill in my thick eyebrows with a tinted eyebrow gel and lightly added a little bit of waterproof mascara. Lastly, I pat on some pink tinted lipgloss.

Immediately after I put on my makeup I hear a soft knock, I leap across the and look though the peephole to see it is Doug. I open the door with dorky smile on my face, he turns to me and looks at me with a grin.
"Hi, my dear. I have your dress and shoes be quick because our reservation starts in half an hour"  he says before having me my dress and shoe and kiss my forehead. I softly close the door and quickly change. I put the covered dress on the bed and unzip the white cover to reveal a gorgeous dress lavender midi couture dress with beautiful crystals all over the dress. For a moment I forgot how to breath, I slip on the couture dress on and zip up the side it fits like a glove. I slip on white saint laurent jane sandal, then take my now dry hair out of the towel and I put it in a low bun.
Before I leave the room I look at myself in the mirror and smile at myself: I must be the most luckiest girl in the world, to be able to go out with Doug in such a beautiful dress.
"What did I do to deserve this?" I chuckle to myself and then pull out some strands of hair to frame my face. And smile to myself again but much wider.
I grab my white Chanel clutch bag, through my wallet, phone and some makeup and head to the door. I open the door to Doug about to knock on the door but he stops when he hears the locks of the door open. He looks dashing dapper, with a jet black crisp clean Hugo Boss two piece suit, pearly white shirt, black velvet tie and noir Oxford shoes. Doug hair slick back like Great Gatsby but still strands of hair with loosely flop out of place and in front of his face just below his right eyebrow.
He takes a moment of silence with his eyes wondering my face & body and his smile becomes into a smirk, he leans towards my ears with our cheeks gently touching.
"How did I get lucky with you? I don't know. You are gorgeous and out of this world this evening" he softly smiles and then gently takes my hand to guide me down the lobby and to the taxi.
Tonight is a marvellous night. The streets of Paris is full of youth lovers and forever lovers. The came to a complete stop, I smile at Doug and he points to my window. I look out of the window, with Doug getting out of the taxi and I see a beautiful grande art museum that is made out of pearly white stone. Doug opens my door with his other hand out to help me out of the car. I nod my head and we both enter the museum, as he guides me through the museum I couldn't help but wonder at how beautiful the pieces are in the museum. Then we meet two people who are wearing suits and have napkins on one arm, they both push open the doors to reveal this magical room that has table and two chairs. The room has gold accents all over and a huge window that looks over all of Paris with the lit up Eiffel Tower in the middle of the scenery.
We take our sits and eat our starter with angelic classic music in the background as we both talk and gush about each other. After 30 minutes of eating our full course meal and admiring the breathtaking view. From the corner of my eye I see Doug walking over to the two waiters, they are discussing. The two waiters lower the music and close the doors as they leave the room.
"Take my hand and dance my dear Darci" Doug says as he came towards me with an open hand.
"Thank you for the lovely dinner Douglas" I thank him, our eyes catch each other and began to get lost with each other, I slowly place my head on his chest and we continue slowly dancing with the music for a couple of moment.
Doug takes his index finger to lift up my head gently.
" Darci my darling, you are the Eiffel Tower that light up with sparkles throughout the night and you are the light of my life with that sparkling smile of yours. I want to be will you all the way no matter how far or close we are together." Douglas says with pure joy in his eyes.
"Could you turn around for me and close your eyes, please?" He say and I do a complete 180 degree turn.
I can something cold on my neck and he turns me around, then I open my eyes and look at my neck to see it is a sliver necklace with a thin plate of 14k gold that has an engrave of Douglas name with his handwriting.
"I love you and I want to be with you no matter what. I know my name will always be near your heart and I have a necklace just like your but with your name on it my dear...Darci Hope Bloom would you please do me the honour and be my girlfriend?" Doug softly says with his eyes wondering the floor and his hands in his pockets.
I gently wrap my small hands around his jaw and look at him with a huge smile, then I kiss him but this time this kiss is more passionate than all our kisses combined together. I feel sparks and fireworks, he wraps his arm around my waist and I swiftly move my hands and arms wrapping his neck.
I cut him off and to say something,
"Douglas Liam Phillip, I am in love with you and I will always love endlessly. And is that even a question I would love to be your girlfriend."
His face lit up and picks me up and spits me around, then I kiss him even more. He slows down and carefully place on the floor like a china doll and we admire the beautiful scenery as we hold each other with my head on his chest wrapping my arms his waist and his arms holding my body next to his also his head gently place on top of my head.
This is perfect.
