this is the sequel to "~him~" a josh Richards story, so if you haven't read the first book I would read that one first and then come to this one cause it will make much more sense.
Josh comes back for a long holiday break but something on the intern...
We reach there finally, resulting in beads of sweat on my forehead. I sigh as I take in the view of the Sacre Coeur Basilica. Josh walks in front of me and stands to also scan the beautiful view. I smile as I take out my phone and take a photo of him.
"Come on let's go in," he said to me. I jog up to him and we both walk into the church.

"Woah" I gulped down a breath. My eyes immediately look at the ceiling, I take in the structure and look back at Josh. His eyes meet with mine, and offers his hand. I take it and we walk to the front.
"I love this place" I whispered as I kept oogling at my surroundings. I let my fingers touch the huge walls, the hard material touching my warm skin.
"I would come here everyday if I could" I said to Josh. He grins at my expression and walks back to the middle of the church, and sits on one of the long seats. I follow after him.
"Home is so boring, I wish I could live here" I pouted.
"That's what people here would say, if they visited our home" smiled Josh.
"True but France is so interesting, home is just home" I replied. Josh wraps his arm around my shoulder and kisses the top of my head. The warm tingling feeling enters my stomach, thinking to myself how lucky I am. Sitting here with my boyfriend, the most precious baby on earth. Sitting here in this breathtaking church with him, I blush. He smirks at my blushed face, his other hand meets my cheek. I feel his fingers stroke my skin.
"Wanna head back?" asked Josh, as he checked the time on his phone. I nodded, and we slowly exited the church. We make it back to our hotel, and enter the lobby to see my dad.
"Hey pumpkin" he grinned as he gave me a hug. I hug him back, and then realise a large envelope he is holding.
"Dad what's that?" I asked him. I see from the corner of my eye, that Josh is beaming but I ignore it.
"Oh yeah remember honey? When we were at that restaurant in the Effiel Tower, and told you that I was gonna give you something?" he reminded me. The memory came back to me, and I gave him a firm nod.
"So here you go" he said as he passed me the enveloped. My fingers meet the brown paper, my eyes check for the address it's from and see it's from Columbia University.
"Open it" said Josh as he nudged me. My fingers gently tear the paper, I open to see a white piece of paper. I immediately take it out of the brown paper with excitement, dropping the brown paper on the lobby floor. I unfold it and see the words "your addmiton has been approved". I let out a scream, and jumped up and down with happiness.
"OH MY GOSH I GOT IN!" I screamed happily to my dad and Josh. My dad laughed as I jump into Josh's hands.
"OH MY GOSH I GOT IN" I screamed again as I feel tears drop down my cheeks. Josh kisses me, I kiss back and let out a laugh. Josh spins me around while he carries me, I wave the piece of paper in the air and I feel myself beam. I sigh as Josh puts me down slowly.
"I am so proud of you pumpkin" smiled my dad as I hugged him again.
"I didn't think I could get the scholarship" I cried.
"Of course you could" smiled Josh. I laugh as I see my brother, Mrs Richards and my mum come out of the elevator. I tell them the exciting news.
"Good job y/n!" chuckled Josh's mum as she hugs me.
"I am so proud of you darling" beamed my mum as she kisses me on the forehead.
"Well done nutjob" laughed Cameron as he gave me a side hug. I kiss his cheek, feeling happy and warm inside.
"Our flight is at 10:00pm, so let's have an early dinner" said Mrs Richards. I quickly take my phone out, and see the time is 5:00pm. We head out of the hotel lobby, and catch a taxi to the restaurant my mum was excited about. By the time we get there with traffic, it was around 5:45pm.
"Oh my gosh I am starving" groaned Cameron as we entered the restaurant. I giggled as we took. seat at one of the tables. We order our food and see the waiter walk off to submit our order.
"Sooo Penn State and Columbia are rather close" commented my mother.
"It's nearly 4 hours mum" I said.
"Still, you guys could meet" replied my mum.
"Your glad we aren't literally thousands of km's away from each other" stated Josh. I nodded with agreement.
"That's right, it would be good if you both could come together for Christmas" said Mrs Richards as she drank her water.
"Yes that's a good idea actually, safety and all" commented my dad.
"Dad your acting like we are 5 year-olds on a plane with no parents" I laughed.
"What? I only have one daughter, need to take care of her" smiled my dad as he pats my back.
"Look food's here" said Josh as we both see the waiter walking to us, hands filled with dishes. I feel my stomach crying with hunger as the waiter sits the plates down in the middle of the table.
"I could a eat a cow" said my brother as he reached for the food.
"You couldn't, you would die" I laughed.
"It's an expression y/n" chuckled Josh as he looked at me.
"I know, but still you couldn't really" I replied. Josh shakes his head and kisses the side of my face.
"You cute monkey" he said after.
