Paris. The city of lights, beauty, and most importantly, romance. Only problem was, I didn't have the mentality to notice all those details or enjoy the fact that I was on a paid vacation. I was in a situation that no one would want to be in. However, I have to admit, having my crew with me added a bit to my peace. Something about them felt like home and I didn't for a split second doubt their will to help me in case of any problems.

And as I wasn't ready for any surprises, I set an alarm for my medications. Vowed to myself to pay more attention to taking them on time than to breathing. I had to always be alert and well,, conscious.

I made it up to my suite. I was one of the few lucky members in the crew to have her own room. The suite gave me the hotel vibe back, reminding me of the kiss. Reminding me of the hell behind it all. I, as always, pushed it back, at least for a while. A few hours passed and I still hadn't heard anything from Arsen. Oh man, maybe my wishes came true and he'll ignore me, I thought. The problem, I wasn't only avoiding Arsen, but also Lesandra and Mr. Luiz; my ego was hurt by them and to see them once more wasn't on my to-do list.

It wasn't until dinner when I took my first glance at Arsen in Paris. He looked as good as always, as suspicious as always, and as irresistible to me as always. I could see his head turning to my direction so I looked away avoiding eye contact. But with the side of my eye I could feel his gaze on me, and before I lost the will to not look back, I walked away.

Every crew was sitting together on their separate tables, focusing on socializing with their crew mates and only their crew mates. Kind of like a silent agreement that familiar faces are our safe zones. Adults mature enough to fly planes but too immature to socialize or interact with strangers, the human psychology is weird..

"Captain Kayl is over there." Melissa said in a loud voice with her eyes directed to me. "Tell him to join us."

"He can see where we are, if he wants to join he will." I stated firmly.

"Yeah but you know Kayl,, too much ego Kayl." Ariana smiled.

"Like he'd join us even if I asked him to?" I scoffed sarcastically rolling my eyes pretending to not giving a fuck.

"Wow, where's that coming from?" Johnny laughed widening his eyes.

I couldn't deny that I was gonna miss this. This whole Kayl-Destiny fantasy that everyone seemed to have of us. It's like everyone noticed the slight shift in his attitude with me; everyone noticed the chemistry and it felt like in a way deep down in their minds they shipped us.

Arsen; however, being the elite person he is, joined Mr. Luiz and his family on their A+ table. So far, he clearly didn't give a shit about me, I hope that lasts forever,, or do I?

Okay see,, I can ignore him, it's not even that hard. So far so good,, right?

After dinner I decided it was time for me to hit the bed as I wasn't in socializing mood and frankly just wanted avoid Mr. Luiz, Lesandra, Arsen,, and well just about everyone. I got in to the elevator and after I dug in to my purse to get my key card out I looked up to see Arsen in front of me, just standing looking down at me softly, I almost got weak enough to smile at him but I stopped myself.

After a few seconds my eyes met his, I kept my expression neutral and showed no intention in communicating. He narrowed his eyes just a little bit as if his brain was trying to process the sudden shift in my attitude, as if his brain didn't even believe that this was my reaction. The soft look on his face got sharper by the split second. A soft sigh followed by a scoff, a slight nod announcing he understood what my reaction meant. I opened my lips to ask him about it all, I opened my lips to tell him I don't really care about any of the bullshit going on I just wanna get away from it all with him, but he left before I did, he left with a look on his face I never expected to see, he left and my plan was accomplished.

My silent message to Arsen announcing my wish to stay away from him was delivered loudly and clearly. I made that step merely because I feared consequences I wasn't even sure were gonna happen. I hated myself for pushing him away from me cuz of a story I wasn't even sure was true. Did I really care if he had a shady past? Would it make me want him any less if he wasn't really the good man I thought he was? Was I ready to put all the feelings I've felt towards him away to avoid some trouble? Or was I just following the logic without listening to my heart? However, non of this really mattered anymore, what's done is done, and I was never so broken hearted.
