"Who are you?" I asked, still left in the shock and scared state that came over me when gunshots were heard.
I look up to his face which was hidden behind a dark shadow and bit my lips as silence fell between us.
"Who I am is none of your business,"...
"And we're here," Jaxon said as he pulled up at a huge hotel about seven-story tall. We both exit the car and Jaxon grabbed our suitcase before we began walking towards the entrance.
He opened the door and held it for me then followed from behind and I let him take the lead afterward cause honestly, I didn't know where we were going.
"Bonnie nuit! Bienvenue à toi Novotel Paris Centre Gare Montparnasse. Comment puis-je vous aider?" The deal Clark greeted as we approached the check-in desk.
[Translation: Good Night! Welcome to Novotel Paris Centre Gare Montparnasse. How can I help you?]
"J'ai une réservation pour aujourd'hui. C'est sous le nom de Black." Jaxon replied to her in French and I looked at him with a face of surprise at his French. I never knew he could speak French!
[Translation: I have a reservation for today. It's under the name of Black.]
Well, what can't he do?!
I watched on as the lady typed something into the computer and after a few clicks she nodded to herself. "Oui, M. Black, nous vous avons réservé une chambre double avec vue sur la tour eiffle pour quelques jours. Est-ce exact?"I think she asked a question which Jaxon replied with "oui, il est" which I think means yes it is or something like that.
[Translation: Yes, Mr. Black, we've reserved a double room for you with a view of the eiffle tower for a days. Is that correct?]
"Excellent. Nous avons déjà vos informations de carte de crédit au dossier. Si vous signed le reçu en bas, s'il vous plait." She said handing him a receipt along with a pen and he immediately signed it and gave the pen back to the her.
[Translation: Excellent. We already have your credit card information on file. If you'll just sign the receipt along the bottom, please.]
"Merci. Votre chambre 487. Voici votre clé. Pour accéder à votre chambre, prenez l'ascenseur sur la droite jusqu'au quatrième étage. Tournez à gauche une fois que vous sortez de l'ascenseur et votre chambre sera sur le côté gauche. Un groom apportera vos sacs sous peu si vous le souhaitez." She said with a smile after collecting her pen and Jaxon replied, saying something like "C'est d'accord. Je peux réaliser moi-même."
[Translation: (Desk Clark: Thank you. Your room 487. Here is your key. To get to your room, take the elevator on the right up to the fourth floor. Turn left once you exit the elevator and your room will be on the left-hand side. A bellboy will bring your bags up shortly if you'd like.) (Jaxon: It's okay. I can carry it myself)]
Mon plaisir, monsieur. Passez un merveilleux séjour au Novotel Paris Centre Gare Montparnasse." It was the last thing she said before turning her focus back to her computer and I followed Jaxon as he turned around and began heading towards the elevator.
[Translation: My pleasure, sir. Have a wonderful stay at the Novotel Paris Centre Gare Montparnasse]
We came to a halt at the elevator on the right and Jaxon pressed the button and waited for about five minutes before the elevator could have finally opened.
We both entered and was greeted by an elevator operator, someone who is hired to operate a manually operated elevator. "Bonnie Nuit mademoiselle et Monsieur! À quel étage veuillez"
[Translation: Good night Miss and Mister. What floor? please.]
"Quatre" Jaxon replied to the man and I think that means four.
"Oui" He replied before pressing the number four on the elevator and we stood silently in the elevator as more and more people filled it and I felt so clustered. It's a good thing that the elevator was on the fourth floor in the next few minute or so and I felt someone grabbed my hands before I was being dragged out of the elevator, compacted with a lot of people. And I again, the person wasn't rough at all with dragging me out of the elevator so I already knew who it was.
"Thank you" I thanked him because I didn't think I could've been able to get through all those people to exit the elevator myself.
"No problem" he replied, shrugging before I began following him again as he walked down the hall and stopped at a door with the numbers 487.
Taking a key out of his pocket, he turned the lock the door opens up. I followed him inside, my mouth falling to the ground as my eyes scanned the room.
This was pretty! Really pretty!
"Wow!" I exclaimed when my eyes caught a balcony. Did you hear me? A freaking balcony!! There is a balcony in our room!
I walked towards it, smiling ear to ear as the night wind hit my face and the sound of the wild wind and the busy traffic-filled my ear.
"You like it?" Someone asked. I looked to my side and saw that Jaxon was standing next to me, looking at the beauty of the city as well.
I turned to him with a smile then averted my eyes back to Paris. It's lights that shown from afar, the sound of the wild wind that swept across Paris, sweeping away whatsoever is in its way. The sound of the honking of cars and the faint sound of trains rumbling in the distance but most of all, the dazzling Eiffel tower that stood tall in the midst of Paris, as beautiful as ever.
"No, I...Love it!"
