l'amour à Paris

chapter xxxiii

"do you wanna go to the top or?"

"can we just stay down here? it's so beautiful and i just wanna take in the architecture"

"absolutely"

i start walking a little bit away from timmy and i stand on one of the steps of the monument

TIMOTHEE'S POV

i turn just to see that gwen is no longer next to me and before I can even start to look around for her, i hear her voice

"timmy, watch what i can do"

i walk over to where her voice called me from and she's standing on the ledge of the tallest step

"hey, be careful okay?" i look up at her and she sticks her hand down on my shoulder for balance but then i move her hand so now she's holding mine "alright i think that's enough balance beam practice for today" i say and i put my hands around gwen's waist and she hops down in my arms "atta girl"

"so what now? tour guide timothee"

"we could go look at the notre dame cathedral and then i think we should head in for the night"

i can't help but stare at gwen as she climbs back onto the moped

GWEN'S POV

i wait for timothee to get on the bike but after sitting on it for a few moments, i realize he's not coming

"what are you doing? come on we need to get going!" i say and he snaps out of his daze, a dumb smile curling onto his lips as he walks down to join me on the moped

"hey, it's a little chilly out. you cold?" he asks me

"a little bit"

before I can say anything else, he slips his sports jacket off his body and places it on my shoulders

"thanks. you don't have to" i say but he cuts me off

"i want to" timmy says as he puts his helmet on and gets to the front of the bike.

i just shake my head and put my helmet on as well

"you ready?" timothee asks and i wrap my arms around his torso in response. he revs the engine and we start out into the street heading for the other side of paris

i start to see the cathedral as we get closer and closer on the moped. we whip around traffic and find our way to the huge church

"it's amazing isn't it" timothee says as we pull over on the bike

i try to think of what to say but i'm literally breathless from the sight of the beautiful structure

"speechless, huh" he nudges me

"kiss me"

out of nowhere i just blurt that out

"i'm sorry just forget it" i say, realizing what i said

"no, no you're fine. you're fine. come here" and with that, he pulls me into one of the most amazing kisses of my life

time stops when our lips are pressed against each other's and it's like nothing has changed since a few months ago when we used to be just as close

"i've been thinking, i really really want you to be my official girlfriend. sorry if this outta the blue just i figured we're in paris, and like we're kissing and things are amazing and i don't wanna lose you again"

"oh shut up and kiss me"

timmy raises his eyebrow "so is that a yes?"

even though this was so entirely corny, he did as i said and kissed me in the paris moonlight, making every dream come true that was born from an unrealistic romantic comedy movie from the 2000's
