The Unexpected

Chapter 16

(EMMA'S POV)

Today was Daniel's last full day in Paris. He goes back to LA tomorrow evening. I don't leave until the next morning so this is our last night together.

I got back to my hotel room after a long day of sightseeing with my family and just crashed into bed.

I don't know how long I was asleep, but I woke up to Daniel beside me. He was combing my hair while watching the TV. It was on the lowest volume probably not to wake me up but the show was in french so I don't know he can understand.

I looked up at up at him, eyes half open, "what are you doing here?" in my "morning" voice.

"Oh, good morning sleepy head. How was your sleep?"

"Umm. It was good. Wait, what time is it and where's mum and Emily?"

"It's about half 8. They're out for dinner. They didn't wanna wake you so I volunteered to stay."

"Why are you so sweet?" Throwing a pillow at him.

He smiles and threw back a pillow at me.

"So, you hungry?" He stood up.

"I guess."

"C'mon let's eat! Go wash your face and get ready."

"Yeah I guess I'm gonna change."

"I'll just go get something from my room and I'll meet you downstairs in 30 minutes?"

"Yeah, sure."

(DANIEL'S POV)

It's my last day in Paris so I wanted to do a little something for Em. Our first "date" was just a picnic at the hotel pool so I wanted to somehow upgrade it.

I was waiting for Em in the lobby for about 30 minutes now so I decided to text her.

"Hey, Em are you ready?"

No reply.

"Em?"

Still no reply.

Maybe they're not back yet so she hasn't received the messages. I went back to my room to chill for a bit while waiting for Em to text back. An hour later, nothing.

I started to get worried so I decided to go to her room.

I knocked and her mum opened the door.

"Good evening. Is Em okay? She's not replying to my messages. We're supposed to go out tonight."

"Oh sweetie she fell asleep. I guess she got tired from today. Come in come in."

I walked in and saw her sleeping. She looks so peaceful.

I smiled as I saw her. I walked to her side of the bed and sat beside her. I combed her hair and kissed her forehead. How did I get this lucky? What did I do to deserve such an understanding and caring girlfriend? I don't know but I'm not complaining.

I suddenly forgot that her family was in the room cause when I looked up, they were staring at us.

"I'm sorry I'm sorry you guys just look so cute together" Emily said.

I gave her smile.

"Daniel?" I hear her mum say while she was fixing something.

"Yes?"

"We're going out for dinner. Is it okay for us to leave you guys here?"

"Yeah, of course. It's no problem. I'll just wait for Em to wake up." I say, looking down at Em.

"That's great. Thank you sweetie! Just lock the door when you guys leave. When she wakes up, just tell her that we're just out to eat and be back soon."

"Okay. Enjoy your dinner!" I say as they wave and left.

I looked at Em. Wow, she's such a heavy sleeper. I decided to turn on the TV just to kill time while waiting for her to wake up. It was on high volume so I quickly turned it down and checked if she woke up. Nothing. I sighed in relief. All of the channels were in French so I just to leave it open since I like listening to French people talk.

About an hour later, Em finally woke up. I asked her to go get ready.

I went back to my room while waiting for her to get ready and I started to prepare the picnic basket. This time, it was more than just sandwiches. I decided to buy some take away since I can't cook for my life.

I was just wearing some plain black shirt with grey plaid trousers. I didn't want to be overly dressed but I wanted to be presentable.
