The Date

•Azalea

As Arius and I walked out of the hotel, I noticed that the streets weren't busy, probably because it was very early in the morning. The weather was quite pleasant even though the morning was quite chilly but well mornings are mostly chilly, part of the reason why I don't like mornings except this one. Because, this morning was different than any other.

"Where do you plan to take me?" I asked.

"Any place you want to visit?" Arius asked for my preference.

"The only place I know of Paris is the Eiffel tower." And that's common knowledge.

"Then let's go there." He intertwined his fingers with mine as he held my hand and a smile appeared on my face.

"I heard it's pretty crowded."

"It's off-season plus it's early. It's actually a good idea to go now. There'll be fewer people there."

"Okay." I squeezed his hand tighter. It still doesn't seem real. I can't believe this is all happening.

Am I dreaming? I wish I got a sign that I wasn't dreaming.
