Unexpected Love

Chapter 36[x]

Louis POV

"This place is really nice," Lisa said while looking around before we were escorted to our table, which was near the back of the restaurant.

"I know, right?" I said and she giggled.

God, she's so cute.

We ordered our drinks and while we waited, we began deciding on what to order.

"This all looks so good, but it's so expensive," she said from across the table.

"Lisa, it's fine. This is your birthday present, get whatever you want," I assured her and she smiled.

"Thank you."

We only waited a couple more minutes before our waiter came back.

"Are you two ready to order?" he said, his French accent shining through his voice as he speaks.

"Yes, I would like the half order of the steak dinner, with a side of escargot," Lisa said.

"I'll have the same thing," I said and he took our menus.

"Have you ever tried escargot?" I asked and she shook her head.

"But, like you said earlier, there's a first time for everything," she said and I nodded while laughing. After a few moments, she asked me the same question.

"Have you ever tried it before?"

"Yeah, it doesn't taste as bad as it seems, even though it is snail," I said and she smiled nervously, nodding slightly.

"Don't worry, you'll love it," I said reassuringly.

The man came back a few minutes later with our food, and we immediately dug in. It turns out, Lisa really did like the escargot, and she wanted to have it again before we left France.

We were soon finished, and I had just ordered a small desert for both of us to share, since we were both too full for a big one.

"Lisa, you still haven't gotten a physical present from me for your birthday," I told her and she looked up, rolling her eyes.

"Louis, you don't have to get me anything else. This whole trip has been amazing so far, and it's only the first day. And all we've done is sleep and eat. What more would I need?" she said and I laughed, pulling the small box out of my pocket.

"I'm not proposing, but I did want to give you this," I said and handed her the black box. She looked at me skeptically before opening the box, instantly putting her hand over her mouth when she saw it.

"Oh my god," she breathed out and I put the simple yet elegant ring on her right ring finger, realizing what media and management would think if it was on her left hand.

"Perfect fit," she muttered and kissed me lightly.

The small dessert soon came, and once we were done, we headed back to the hotel.

I sat on the couch after changing into sweats and a t-shirt. Soon after, Lisa walked in from the bathroom.

She came over and sat down next to me, and I put my arm around her shoulder as she leaned her head on my shoulder.

We stayed in this simple position for quite a while before Lisa yawned from next to me.

"Do you want to go to sleep?" I asked her and she looked up at me, nodding slightly before slipping out from under my arm and walking towards the bed.

She laid down and I did the same right next to her. I turned off the lamp on the table right next to the side I was laying on. Lisa changed her position so she was facing me, but her eyes stayed closed. I wrapped my arms around her and she rested her head on my chest.

"Goodnight," was the last thing I heard her day before her breathing changed, proving that she was asleep.

"Goodnight, love."

Oh my god I'm a horrible author. I barely update and I write the shortest chapters ever. I was re-reading my story, to check for mistakes, and I was literally cringing throughout the entire thing. Thank you all for putting up with my awful writing and lack of updating. Love you!

Until the next update...
