~chapter 19~

don't judge me on the song lol. we used to listen to it all the time in french and its a bop and apparently i have it memorized. enjoy:)

We've been on tour for a month and a half and we've been able to see so many parts of the world. It was amazing and i loved every second of it.  We were currently in Paris, France and we had a full day of sightseeing ahead of us. We wanted to start at sunrise, so we all had to wake up super early. I made sure to get dressed in Paris worthy attire so i wore my red and white floral skirt and my 'kind people are my kinda people' white shirt. I threw on some cute sandals, curled my hair loosely, and started my make up.

"You know... you don't really need make up." Blake watches me doing my make up.

"Thank you but i highly disagree. Although, I promised myself that i will never be that girl who looks like a whole other person without make up on."

"Well you look amazing either way."

"Thanks." I smile. 

Twenty minutes later, the four of us were walking down the famous Champs Elysee, on our way to the Eiffel Tower. I had always wanted to come to Paris, the city of love, and now i'm here with the love of my life. Life couldn't get any better. We started talking and laughing while walking around and eventually found ourselves in line to get into The Louvre. A girl who looked about fifteen walked up to us and introduces herself.

"Bonjour, je m'appelle Amelie!" She says to the boys. "J'aime tellement votre groupe, je suis si heureux de vous recontrer tou les trois!" She grins. (translation: hello, my name is Amelie! i love your band, i am so happy to meet you three!") The boys look a little lost because they know no french, so i decide to help them out.

"Bonjour Amelie, je m'appelle leilani! ils ne connaissent pas les francais, alors je serai votre traducteur." I tell her, returning her smile. (hello amelie, my name is leilani! They don't know french, so i will be translating) The three boys look at me in shock, not knowing i am fluent in french. "She says her name is Amelie. She's huge fan and she's happy to meet you three."

"Thank you, we're so happy to meet you too!" George beams.

"ils disent, 'merci et ils sont heureux de vous recontrer aussi.'" i tell her this and she's extremely excited. She gives each of the boys hugs and waves us au revoir.  

"So..." Blake trails off.

"Please explain." Reece says, all of them staring at me.

"Yeah, i'm fluent in french. Have been for a couple years." I shrug.

"And you didn't tell us this because...?" George asks.

"I forgot and i didn't think i'd need it around you guys."

"Okay well we're coming to you if we don't understand things." Blake says and i agree. As we wait in line, i teach the three of them the simple basics of french so they're not totally lost.

It takes more than an hour to get into The Louvre, more than an hour just to get to the Mona Lisa, and we spend about two extra hours in the museum, so a good six hours in total. It was way worth it though. After we left, we went to a cute little cafe and had brunch. We tried all the little pastries, baguettes, and pain au chocolat. Every food we put in our mouths was better than the last. Unfortunately, we had to cut the sightseeing short, as the boys have to go to rehearsal soon.

The concert was amazing, they really know how to put on a good show and i'm blown away every time. After they finish, they found out The Vamps were also in Paris, so they planned to meet up with them. Because i knew the two bands hadn't seen each other in awhile, i decided not to go and head back to my hotel room. After i had a nice long shower and changed into my pajamas, i received a DM.
