Adore

Chapter 32

We had spent the day sight seeing around the city. We managed to visit all of the places on the list we had come up with and were at our last stop, the Eiffel Tower.

The was thousands of tourists here, the tower was an incredible sight. Laura, Jacob, Zendaya and Tom had all opted for some minimal disguises today, not wanting to be recognised on a day that was meant to be just for us.

We were all laid out on the grass staring up at the enormous wrought-iron tower.

"This really is incredible" I said. Tom had his legs outstretched in front of him and his arms pressed into the grass. I rested my head in his lap, admiring the view.

We picked the Eiffel Tower to visit last because it was not far from the hotel and we wanted to hang out for a bit. Being tourists in the city had certainly taken its toll on us and we needed a bit of a rest.

There were some incredible french cafes and patisseries we stopped at along our way, fuelling ourselves with coffee and sweet treats. Our camera rolls were soon filled with tonnes of photos of us all.

I was sad that this trip was coming to and end so soon but I had had an amazing experience so far.

"I have a surprise for you tonight" Tom said to me softly, running his fingers through the long waves of my hair.

I sat up from his lap and turned to face him.

"Oh really? Can I know what it is?" I said excitedly.

"Not just yet, but be ready to head out again at 7:30" He said with a smile.

"Okay, should I dress up or is it more casual?" I asked trying to get some more info out of him.

"Wear something special" Was all I got from him.

"I can't wait to find out" I said mentally planning an outfit and shoes. We lazed around on the lush green lawn for awhile longer, talking, laughing and enjoying each others company.

"Do you guys wanna try climb up the tower?" Jacob asked us.

"Yeah, lets do it" Harrison said and the rest of us sounded our agreements.

Joining the long queue, we began to climb the hundreds of steps to the first level. By the time we reached the top we were all out of breath. We all stood looking over the ledge, at the incredible view of the city.

We took photos of the view and some with each other before deciding to keep going.

Tom took my hand and we quickly joined the shortest queue for the lift to the second floor. We only waited a few minutes before shuffling in with the crowd. Harrison and Jacob managed to squeeze in as well, Laura and Zendaya had to wait for the next one though.

After exiting the lift and walking to the edge, my breath caught in my throat. The second floor view was spectacular, I don't think I'd ever seen something so incredible before. Being up higher, we had a wider scope of scenery, that seemed to stretch on forever.

I had my stomach pressed up against the railing, Toms strong arms were either side of me, leaning against me from behind.

"How amazing is this" He whispered into my ear. I turned around to him and wrapped my arms around his waist.

"Thank you so much for bringing me on this trip. I can't tell you how special this is for me" I said sincerely. I lent forwards and kissed him passionately. I would never forget this trip.

I pulled out my phone and Tom and I took some photos together with the incredible view as our back drop. There were photos of us smiling, or pulling silly faces, my favourite was the one where I was looking straight at the camera, a big smile on my face. And Tom was looking at me with the most adoring expression on his face.

We spent some more time on the Eiffel Tower before the weather started to get a bit cold and blustery so, we got the group together and found some empty taxi's to take us back to the hotel.

I slipped into my dress and zipped it up at the back. The short sleeves fell effortlessly around the tops of my arms and the thin spaghetti straps were resting atop my shoulders.

The dress was sort of midi length, but it was shorter against my left thigh, the right side slightly longer and was scooped around. The excess material made into some ruching at my waist giving the dress some more texture.

It was a very soft gold colour that shone in the light. The cut at the bust was v shaped and showed off my cleavage being held together by a white strapless bra.

My hair was done in two Dutch braids. I had pulled the braided sections slightly loose to give it more volume. I stopped the braids at the nape of my neck and tied them off. I grabbed a small section of hair and wrapped it around the ties, concealing them.

I continued a regular plait down the rest of the length of my hair. Again pulling some sections looser to give more volume.

Applying a gorgeous true red shade to my lips I was almost ready. I checked the time on my phone quickly and it was just about 7:30 and Tom would be here any minute.

My shoes were a pair of gorgeous heels. They weren't too tall but they looked elegant. They had small pearl like jewels stuck all over them and the spaces in between were filled with light tan coloured crystal studs as well.

I had a small tan coloured clutch that contained my phone, id, some cash and my bank card. I also threw in my lipstick as two soft knocks came from the other side of the door.

I checked myself over quickly in the mirror and answered the door.

Tom stood in a dark maroon coloured suit with matching shirt underneath and black leather shoes.

"Wow" I said, my jaw dropping. He looked incredible, there was no doubt about it.

"Wow to you too. You look stunning" He said kissing my cheek.

"Shall we go?" Tom asked, extending his hand to mine. I threaded my finger between his, loving how our hands seemed to fit so perfectly together.

We took the elevator down to the lobby and I thought we might be heading to the restaurant here so I turned to walk that way. Toms hand pulled against mine slightly and I turned back to him.

"We're going this way" He said with a smile and we walked out of the hotel.

Before us, there was parked an incredibly sleek, not to mention expensive as hell, looking Rolls Royce. A man dressed in a black suit wearing white gloves was waiting for us.

"Mr. Holland, Ms Miller my name is Théo and I will be your driver for this evening" He spoke.

"Merci Théo" I said and Tom shook his hand. Théo opened the door for us and Tom gestured for me to get in first.

I took my seat and was looking around the car, the interior was impeccable. All white leather was the main material for the seats and a light wood decorated parts like the handles and a section under the big back seat.

We buckled our seat belts and headed off. My excitement was almost bubbling over at this point.
