Paris (Luke Hemmings)

"I can't believe you're going on a date" Sarah calls out to me while i'm getting ready in the bathroom. "After you told me you're not here to date" she adds.

I scoff as I walk out into the room we're sharing.
"It's not a date" I clarify.

"What is it then? 'Cause we weren't invited" Claire chimes in before returning her attention back to her phone.

Is it a date? No. No it's not.

Just as I'm about to respond the sound of a notification from my phone indicating I have a new message on whatsapp. I pick up my phone to see it's from Luke.

"We're here, waiting in the lobby" It reads.

I look up at Claire and Sarah "they're here, I'll see you two later" I say before picking up my purse and making my way down the stairs to the lobby.

"Bonjour Luke" I smile when I reach the bottom and see him sitting on the lobby sofa.

He looked so good, and all he's doing is just sitting there.. waiting patiently.

He looked up at me and smiled "Bonjour Madame"

I said hi to the others, handing the room key to the one by the name of Calum and told them they could head on up as the girls were just watching tv. "Enjoy your date" they all say giving Luke a nudge before climbing the stairs.

I had to look away, I could feel my cheeks turning red. Once they were out of sight Luke turned to me and apologised for them and all I could do was shrug and mumble "it's okay"

"So I was thinking we should grab some food before we head over" He says as we make our way out of the hotel.

"There's this place a street over that's really good" I mention, thinking back to the restaurant the girls and I went to last night.

Luke nods in agreement and we start making our way to the one place I know how to get to.

"This is nice" Luke mentions as we're escorted to our seats. I hum in agreement and sit down across from him.

"So how long have you been traveling for?" I ask filling in the silence while we wait for the waiter.

"A few weeks" he answers while browsing over the menu. "You?" He looks up, eyes meeting mine.

"Just over a week, spent four days in England and three in Ireland" I smile. "Tell me about the villages" I request.

He puts the menu down before speaking, an excited look spread across his face as he recalls all the places he's been, describing them as quaint yet aesthetically pleasing. "My favourite would have to be.."

Just as he was about to finish, he was cut off by the waiter. "Oh Bonjour belle, welcome back" I looked up to meet the same green eyes from last night.

"Bonjour" I quietly respond, my cheeks turning red.

I could feel Luke's eyes on me, observing the situation before interrupting us by fake coughing. I turn to him giving him a weird look and he just shrugs.

"So you never told me which town is your favourite" I pipe up as we're walking along the street, making our way to the Eiffel Tower.
