Leera's Perspective

I woke up to see Nicholas' face staring at me.

" Good morning. " he said

" Morning. "

It's nice to see his face wake me up and greet me in the morning.

" I couldn't get used to this. " I said

" Used to what? "

" Me waking up next to you. "

" Aw. "

He put his arms around me, and I put mine around him.

" Wake up! We should go down the jewelry lane. " he said

" What? So that you could buy me more? "

" Maybe. We should walk around to pick out wedding rings. "

" This early? We just got engaged. "

" And I believe that we should plan the wedding from the rings. "

" Seriously? "

" That's how Ver did hers. "

" We're doing our wedding from your sister's experience  "

" And it ended out really well. "

" Okay then. "

From the rings! Seriously?!

At about 10 am, we were in the jewelry lane.

" Where should we go? " I asked.

" I have no idea. "

" I'm hungry. "

" Me too. Wanna get croissants?  "

" Yes, please. "

When we reached a small café we saw a very familiar couple.

" Holy crap. " Nicholas said

" Isn't that-"

" If you're gonna say Allana and Andrew, then we are on the right page. "

I fearlessly approached them.

" Wait, babe-" Nicholas started.

And I stood in front of Andrew and Allana.

" Holy shit. It's you. " I said

Allana has her hair shorter, not bob cut, but shoulder length, she was wearing Jackie-O style sunglasses, white button-down shirt, skinny jeans and brown ankle boots.

" Leera? " she said as she hugged me.

I hugged her.

Andrew smiled at me, then Nicholas approached us and they had a man-hug.

" What are you doing here? In Paris? " I asked

" Well, Andrew's brother wanted our help in picking out an engagement ring for his girlfriend. "

" Oh, speaking of which, " I showed her my ringed finger.

" You and Nicholas? " she said

" Yes. "

" Congratulations. Wow. "

" You and Andrew? "

"  Could we take this outside? " she said

I nodded and we headed out the café.

" So, you and Andrew? "

" He became officially my boyfriend two weeks after my running. "
