I decided it would be a great idea to travel with two of my friends, Sarah and Claire. So far we've been to Ireland, England and now we're in France, Paris to be exact.
Travelling to France has always been on my bucket list. I've wanted to see the view from the top of the Eiffel Tower, I wanted to explore the Catacombs of Paris, and stroll through small Victorian villages. And now I was finally ticking those off the list, one by one.

We've only just arrived at our quaint hotel, it's not the best of places and it was a little run down in some aspects, but I'm not complaining as it's a roof over my head and a decent bed to sleep in.
It's only been a few hours of being in Paris, and I'm definitely feeling overwhelmed. The first two stops were great, we got along with locals and found our way around pretty easily but i'm assuming that's only because we could communicate with everyone over there. Here in France? Not so much.  Don't get me wrong, I know the basics for getting around and asking for directions, but I'm not fluent whatsoever and talking to locals is not as easy as I had originally anticipated.

Walking into our room, the air smelt like clean linen, the carpet had a few stains here and there, and so did the curtains. There's only two beds though, a single and a double, thankfully they looked relatively clean.

I put my luggage aside and I pulled back the curtains to reveal our rooms small balcony. I opened the doors and took a step outside. We were only on the third floor so there wasn't much of a view, just the busy street below that was filled with parked cars, locals and tourists.   
While I'm stood outside on the balcony, Claire and Sarah are inside having a disagreement over who is bunking in the double bed. I can't help but roll my eyes at the sound of them. They've been doing this most of the trip and sometimes I feel like leaving them and going off on my own but I know I wouldn't get very far if I did that so I just try zone out to them most of the time.

"So!" I interrupt "What's for dinner?" I ask taking a seat on the single bed.

Claire looks over at me which a mischievous look on her face. "Snails and frog legs"

I roll my eyes and she giggles. "You're not serious?" I question. I love France and the culture here but I honestly don't think i could bring myself to eat a snail, just the thought makes me nauseous.. Gross.

Sarah then picked up the wifi card and entered the code before searching google for a nice affordable restaurant. "What about this one called Le Petit Encas?" She asks Claire and I. "The reviews of the place are great"

We all agreed on Le Petit Encas, a little bistro a street over from where we were staying.

The outside of the restaurant looked cute and dainty, tables and chairs that sat next to small gardens of herbs out the front of the building. The inside looked just as nice with artwork by French artists hung up on the walls, it also smelled so nice inside.

We didn't make a reservation but thankfully there was a table free for us. Ten minutes pass by and the waiter finally shows up to take our order.

I subtly clear my throat before speaking "Bonjour, un plat de spaghettis s'il vous plait" I smiled showing off a little bit.

The waiter looked taken a back but eventually he smiled at me. "Er.. Your French is very good" He said with slightly broken English. The accent made me blush, I absolutely adore the accent the French have when speaking English, it just sounds so nice.

We finish our order and twenty minutes go by before we're served our meals. Sarah and I dig into our food while Claire spends another ten minutes taking pictures of hers and editing them just to post on social media. I personally don't understand it.. And I love food. But that just makes no sense to me.

"Claire, do you really have to?" I groan at her.

She looks up at me with a confused expression on her face. "What? It looks good" She says as she takes more photos of her salade nicoise.

I sigh, and go back to enjoying my spaghetti. A few moments go by and we're all just talking about what we want to see tomorrow and planning out the day when our waiter comes by our table. 

"Ladies!, everything is good?" He enquires. There's that amazing accent, my god.

I subconsciously bite my lip "Yes, everything is great" I respond. He smiles and continues making his rounds.

"He is so attractive" Claire blurts out as he walks off.

My eyes follow the waiter around the room, shes not wrong. He's very attractive.
He's tall, not too skinny but not too muscly. His dark brown hair is short but long enough to have defined curls and hes got beautiful green eyes.

"I agree" I mutter, my eyes still following him around until he looked over at me and our eyes locked for a second. I quickly look away and my face turned bright red, how embarrassing. Claire and Sarah just sit there quietly laughing at me while I awkwardly eat my food.

"Why don't you ask him out" Sarah teases, nudging me with her elbow.

I roll my eyes and cross my arms. "I didn't travel to the other side of the world, to date"

She gave me a look full of disappointment before shaking her head and taking another bite of her food. "But.." she starts off with a mouth full of food. So lady like. "He's cute, he's French, go for it"

"Well why don't you?" I questioned in return.

She shrugged. "I'm not the one that's been staring at him all night"

What? I have not been staring. I look away from her only to lock eyes with the waiter. I could feel my face heating up and I didn't need a mirror to know I was turning a shade of pink. What if he thinks I'm a creep because I keep looking at him? What if he thinks I'm checking him out? I mean I kind of am but that's besides the point...

Sigh. He's cute but I honestly didn't want to be going on any dates while I'm here.
