" Guess this is goodbye... " You whispered, sitting on the balcony with a cup of coffee in hand. You sighed, taking a whiff of the coffee scent and sipping it, as you stared at the breath-taking view of the Eiffel Tower. Today was the last day of your trip to Paris. You were a well-known world traveler, and Paris was your favorite place to visit. You didn't like how men flirted with you, but you enjoyed the beautiful sights, the amazing culture and the wonderful  little details like the sparkling fountains in the distance and the beautiful roses surrounding the parks. You sighed and walked inside your hotel room.

There was another thing about Paris, it was the stranger who bumped into you last night. He had long flowing blonde hair and sparkling blue eyes and the greatest smile that made your heart beat. His name was Francis Bonnefoy. You bumped into him in a cafe and the two of you had quite a conversation. He was quite the charmer, even if you didn't like his flirting, he had a kind personality. He took you home and bid you goodbye, claiming he'll be back, you didn't believe him though and just smiled back. You shook off the memories and began packing your clothes. You took a peek at the calendar, " Feb. 14 ". Valentine's Day. The day your ex-boyfriend left you. You sighed, smiling sadly and an image of Francis smiling at you passed your mind. You recalled his promise, thinking it would never happen.

Little did you know, when Francis makes a promise, he always makes sure to stick to it.

ALWAYS.

~(= + = )~

You walked out of your house, your suitcase lugging behind you. You were dressed up in a casual attire, skinny leggings, a tank top and hanging shirt, a pair of Converses and a necklace of the Eiffel Tower hanging around your neck. You (h/c) hair was down and wavy and a small beret was on top. You approached the counter and was about to check out when you heard a familiar voice.

" Excuse me Monsieur, but she has gone out of her room. " The clerk said. The voice replied, sighing.

" That is sad. I thought she would wait for me... Ah well, c'est la vie. Merci, Monsieur. " The man said, turning his head towards you. You cocked your head. The voice was familiar. It sounded like-

" Ah! Bonjour Mademoiselle! I knew you would wait for me! " Francis said, smiling at you. You looked astounded, he looked at you, worriedly. " Mademoiselle? Are you alright? "

" I-I'm fine, I just didn't expect you to be here. Why are you here? " You said, looking at him. He smiled brightly.

" Why, I told you I'd pick you up, mon amour~ " You blushed at the word " amour " but shook it off. He glanced at the suitcase behind you and the receipt in your hands. He looked at you then the suitcase then back at you. He glanced at you, " You aren't leaving are you? ". You nodded, sadly. His heart sank but he thought of a plan that would make you stay.

" Mademoiselle _______, would you like to go on a tour with me? I'd love to show you around, to commemorate your last day here. " He said, smiling sadly. You raised your eyebrow at him.

" Are you asking me on a date Monsieur Francis? " You said. You tried not to giggle at his reddening face. " Non! I just wanted to spend more time with you... "

" Hm, oh well. My dear Francis, I'm a world-traveler. Paris, it's so beautiful... But... " You took a glance at his pouting face and sighed. " Alright, fine... You do know I just met you last night right? " He chuckled.

" That's what makes it better mon amour~ " He said, pulling your hand and bringing you out of the hotel. " Now off we go~ "

~(= + = )~ FIRST STOP : EIFFEL TOWER ~(= + = )~

" Francis! Where are we going? " You said. The Frenchman had covered your eyes with his hands and chuckled. " You'll find out soon, mon amour~ "

" Could you please stop calling me mon amour? " You said, lugging your suitcase blindly. You wouldn't be surprised if you hit someone, but Francis was to childish to see through that.

" Non~ Now, Voici... " He said, taking his hands off your eyes. You gasped at the sight in front of you. " The Eiffel Tower~ " You said, breathlessly. Yeah, you had seen the Eiffel Tower from pictures and from far away, but never this close, guess you never bothered to take sight-seeing after all. You normally would just do some business and lounge around in cafes, very rarely you would take a stroll through a nearby park.

" Oui~ " Francis said, nodding. " Gustave Eiffel built this tower and we named it in honor of him... It's one of the most well-known attractions in all of Paris~ " He said, sighing. " Hey ______- " He looked around but you were gone. " Where did you go? " Then he noticed that you started taking pictures with random strangers who happily agreed. You smiled widely at the camera, even if you never truly smiled like that. Francis looked at your smiling face, he had never seen you so happy, then again, he had only met you last night. There was a reason why he bumped into you and he knew it. Maybe it was fate, but he couldn't get your face out of his mind, and it drove him crazy not seeing you. He sighed. Maybe he had started liking you, but he knew you could never like him back. You, a girl so perfect and who traveled the world could meet plenty of other guys better than him, would never like him. But something told him otherwise, so he tried out his luck. He shook off the memories and walked up to you as you were taking a picture with a man who sold roses. Francis looked at the roses as you walked away.

" Monsieur, how much? " Francis asked. " 5 Euros... " The man replied. Francis looked at you. He didn't have that much money on him and the man seemed to catch the direction of his sight. The man smiled. " But if it's for the lady over there, it'll be 2 Euros. "

" Really Monsieur? " Francis said, astounded. The man nodded and picked out his best roses. " I can tell that you like her, Monsieur~ I wish you luck~ " Francis thanked the man and the man waved him goodbye, winking at him.

" _________? " Francis said. You turned around to see him and you smiled.

" Francis! Where have you been? C'mon, I want to remember this day~ Take a picture with me s'il vous plaît ? " You said, tapping another tourist and asking them to take a picture of you two, which he agreed to. Francis blushed as you posed a peace-sign and he winked at the camera.

" Thank you~! " You said, to the tourist, who nodded and walked away. Francis hid the rose behind his back.

" __-_____... " Francis stuttered. You looked at him, raising your eyebrow. Francis fingered the rose behind his back and looked at you.

" Next stop shall we? " Francis said. You nodded happily and walked forward. Francis sighed, he should've given the rose but he looked up and tucked the rose away and raced after you.

' Maybe later... After all this... ' He thought, as he walked beside you, putting his hands over your eyes once more.

~(= + = )~ SECOND STOP : LOUVRE MUSEUM ~(= + = )~

" Second stop, mon amour~ " Francis said, chuckling.

" I told you to stop calling me mon amour! And where in the- " You stopped as Francis took his hands off your eyes. You gaped once more at the scene in front of you.

" Musée du Louvre... Or simply known as- " " The Louvre! I've always wanted to go here! " You said, happily. Francis looked at you, smiling. " Then, let's go in shall we? "

You and Francis walked inside the museum and you immediately began taking pictures. Francis smiled at you as you took delight in taking pictures. Then, as if pulled by magic, Francis took your hand and led you to his favorite artwork by Vincent Van Gogh, " Starry Night ". He smiled at you. You started taking pictures and you couldn't stop grinning.

" _______, what do you think of the painting? " He said, looking at you sincerely. You looked up at him and stared at the painting. A pull of familiarity tugging your gut. You stared at the painting.

" It's a marvelous artwork... Depicting such deepness and beauty... The artist, Vincent, I believe he was in a dream-like state when he did this... The strokes and colors used pull the person looking at it into a dream-like scape, as if he were in Vincent's dream himself. The stars and everything, it's so perfect... " You said, smiling and looking up at him. He stared at you a small smile on his face, as if he was in another world.

" Francis? Um, Francis? " You said, waving your hand in front of his face. He snapped out of his trance and smiled at you.

" Hm? Yes, Vincent, he was a wonderful artist. You explanation was wonderful, mon amour. I couldn't have explained it better. You have such taste. " He said, tucking a strand of your (h/c) hair behind your ears. You blushed at the small gesture.

" Francis... Let's take a picture please? I won't have another chance like this in a million years. " You said, smiling and holding up the camera. Francis smiled at you. You sure did love taking pictures. He smiled at the camera and you smiled as well, the " Starry Night " in the background.

" Thank you for everything, Francis. I never realized that Paris can be well, beautiful. Thank you. " You said, as Francis took your hand and the both of you walked out of the building. The sun started to set and it cast a beautiful glow over the Louvre, making it shine.

" Ah, the day is coming to an end, and you have to leave tomorrow... " Francis said, sadly. You nodded, your heart dropping. You almost forgot about that. " But there is one last thing I want to show you before you leave. It is Valentine's after all, Paris will be celebrating! " Francis said, smiling and covering your eyes one last time, making your heart flutter.

~(= + = )~  Third and Final Stop : Jardin du Luxembourg ~(= + = )~

" Francis, where are we going now? " You said, smiling slightly. He chuckled.

" The last place. This is my favorite place, ma cherie~ " He said, taking his hands off your eyes for the last time that day. You opened your eyes and gasped.

Jardin du Luxembourg. The place where your ex-boyfriend dumped you. On the exact same day. Deja vu?

" Mademoiselle? Are you alright? Is something wrong? " Francis said, looking at you worriedly. You sighed, but smiled.

" Y-yeah, i-it's just, something happened here before... " You said, looking at him, trying to smile. He looked at you and sat down by the pond, patting the grass beside him, telling you to sit down. " Ah, it's something about love isn't it? It's alright if you tell me... " Francis said, looking at you, taking your hand. You looked at him. " Y-you wouldn't understand... " You said, looking down. " If it's about rejection, I'll understand. I've been rejected a couple of times myself.  " He said, smiling sadly at you. You looked up at him. " Who would reject you? I-I mean.. " You stuttered. He chuckled. " Oui, I have. But there's this girl who I've got my eye on and I'm not sure she likes me or not, but I hope she does, now tell me. I am named after the country of France afterall, the country of love. " You smiled and told him all about your ex-boyfriend. From the heartbreak to picking yourself up. He listened all throughout the story. When you finally finished the scenery around you had changed. The post lights were on, there were streamers hanging, people laughed noisily and when the two of you turned around, it seemed as if people were celebrating Valentine's Day, happily. Francis smiled at you, " Do you know why we went here, Mademoiselle? " He said. You shook your head. " It's because of that. "

He pointed at a nearby cafe. Just beside Fontaine de Medicis, the most romantic fountain in the park. That cafe, was the cafe last night, where you had met Francis. You smiled. Francis looked at you, " Now, it is Valentine's Day. " He stood up, and stretched out his hand. " May I have a dance with you, ma cherie? " You smiled and nodded as he pulled you to the dance floor. A song with a loud beat came up. This was one of your favorite songs and you had the song fully-memorized. You smiled as Francis danced beside you.

I went out last night
I'm going out tonight again
Anything to capture your attention (your attention)
And she's a real sweet girl
And you know I got a boy
Details we both forgot to mention (forgot to mention)

You grinned as Francis twirled you around. He smiled as well, and began moving you across the dance floor. You grinned as he pulled you close to him. You grabbed his hand and he twirled you around once more. Your grin grew wider and you began to take lead.

And you, I always know where you are
And you always know where I am
We're taking it way too far
But I don't want it to end

The chorus kicked up and and you began to sing along, listening to the beat. Francis smiled at you. Your voice echoing in his ears. He smiled at you and he began to sing along as well. He couldn't lie anymore, you stole his heart and this song would be the way for him to say it.

This kiss is something I can't resist
Your lips are undeniable
This kiss is something I can't risk
Your heart is unreliable
Something so sentimental
You make so detrimental
And I wish it didn't feel like this
Cause I don't wanna miss this kiss
I don't wanna miss this kiss

You moved closer to him, and began to wave your body against his. He followed your lead as you sang. The two of your bodies rocked and waved together as people made space for the two of you. Cheers and catcalls came in every direction and you grinned at Francis who grinned back at you. The two of you sang as if you truly meant every word.

You know you're just my type
And your eyes are lock and key, to my heart
Tempting my confession (my confession)
And you're a real hot thing
But you know I've got a boy somewhere
So can you feel the tension? (Feel the tension)
And you, I'm dancing to where you are
And your dancing to where I am
We're taking it way too far
But I don't want it to end

Francis pulled you closer to him and began to twirl you. You giggled and smiled as your body pressed against his. " Thank you for a memorable Valentine's, Francis. " You whispered. He smiled down at you and pulled out the rose from behind him and tucked it behind your ear. " For you, mon amour. I bought it especially for you. " You touched the rose the same way he touched your heart and he spun you so you faced him.

This kiss is something I can't resist
Your lips are undeniable
This kiss is something I can't risk
Your heart is unreliable
Something so sentimental
You make so detrimental
And I wish it didn't feel like this
Cause I don't wanna miss this kiss
I don't wanna miss this kiss

As the final stanza came up, Francis held you close and looked at you in the eye. " Mademoiselle ________... Je t'aime... " You looked at him in the eye, your eyes widening as if you didn't hear him properly. Francis looked serious. " W-what? " You asked. He sighed and kissed you passionately. You were surprised and didn't kiss back. Francis stayed there for a few minutes until he pulled away. His eyes looking sad.

But if you ask me to
I couldn't, I couldn't, I
You're leaning closer and
I shouldn't, I shouldn't, I
But if you ask me to
I couldn't, I couldn't, I
I shouldn't, I shouldn't
I don't wanna miss this kiss

" Francis... I-I... " You said. He didn't look at you. You held his hand and squeezed it. " J-J-Je t'aime, Monsieur Francis, mon amour... " Francis looked at you, astounded. You smiled at him and leaned close, kissing him. He kissed back, giving more passion than he ever did in his entire life.

This kiss is something I can't resist
Your lips are undeniable
This kiss is something I can't risk
Your heart is unreliable
Something so sentimental
You make so detrimental
And I wish it didn't feel like this
Cause I don't wanna miss this kiss
I wish it didn't feel like this
I don't wanna miss this kiss


The last beats of the song faded and you gasped for air. Francis cradled you and he caressed your forehead with his thumb and tucked your hair behind your ears once more. He held your hand and pulled you to the sides. As sparks flew into the sky, Fireworks you thought.

" Do you really love me, ______? " Francis said, staring at you. You smiled and touched the rose behind your ears. " You know I do, mon amour~ " You replied, smiling up at him. " Then, let's take this day as a renewal. Will you still be leaving ma cherie? " He said, smiling sadly. You looked at him and you couldn't bear seeing that face. " Non. I wish to be here with you, mon amour. " You said, smiling.

" Really? " Francis said, smiling happily. You nodded. " Will you let me be your boyfriend then? " You tip-toed and kissed the tip of his nose.

" Oui~ " You said, as he hugged you and gave you one last, Valentine's day kiss.
