Adventures of Summer | Clem x Louis Fanfic [College AU] [Book 2]

6 - Paris, France

Clementine

Portugal and Spain are well behind the group, the next destination was France. It was a no brainier for everyone, the city of choice was Paris. Known for its fashion, famous coffee and Eiffel Tower, there's plenty to do in the amazing city. It's also commonly known as the city of love.

Leaving the hotel, the group decided on a nice independent cafe across the street from the Eiffel Tower. There was flower boxes decorating the entire front wall, which gave it a very inviting feel. The busy tables outside showed its popularity.

"This is stunning. I think Paris is my favourite place so far!" Clem squealed with excitement. The cuteness of the place was too overbearing to keep the emotions in.

Louis let out a throaty laugh at her adorable behaviour. "If you're lucky, I'll bring you back someday." He said with amusement in his tone.

Marlon wanted to join in with the teasing too, "Maybe on your honeymoon?" He sniggered.

Louis shot him a glare, as if he had just ruined a plan. Not that Louis ever did think at purposing any time soon. "Dude, stop." Louis harshly whispered to his blonde friend.

Violet was too busy staring at the large choices of coffee and cake to notice the conversation. Being friends with Violet for so long, the two boys have never seen her so out of her shell until now.

After ordering, the group of 4 best friends chose a table outside that had the best view of the famous tower. There was lots of simple fun moments. It's simple things like this that people forget about.

Such as the coffee foam creating a moustache on Marlon's top lip. Or they were taking it in turns to say dumb things like "I like the authentic French toast." Or "I want to buy a baguette." In really bad French accent. None of them even knew a word of French but it was humorous to watch.

Once finished there, the four friends decided to pose at the bottom of the Eiffel Tower. Can't be a tourist without posing and posting it to social media.

By now, it was dusk. The sky was lit with an orange hue. A clementine hue.
Clementine and Louis eventually managed to sneak off to the famous bridge. It was not far from the Louvre art museum, and had thousands of locks on the metal of the bridge. Inspecting closely, each lock had people's names and a small date on it. They were couples names and the date they started dating. The keys were at the bottom of the river. The metal of the keys were reflecting effortlessly in the water and sunlight.

Louis pulled out a lock and key from his back pocket, offering it to the girl. "I thought we could do the cringey tourist tradition and do the same." He spoke, beginning to feel nervous.

Clem smiled while taking the lock and key from his large hands, and into her own small ones. "Let's do it." She said, looking up at him to left his hesitant gaze.

The two found an empty spot on the bridge. On the count of three, they pressed the lock down and heard it click. It was securely locked onto the metal of the bridge and wouldn't be able to be undo since the key was now underwater.

"Let's go back to the hotel." Clem muttered, slipping her hand into his awaiting one.

Louis

The hotel they were staying in was designed by an interior designer with good taste. Louis decided on the hotel, since he wanted an elegant suite - and he lauded the heavy price for it too.
