Chapter 15

Paris

Ava

After a six-hour-long flight, we reached Paris. It was a long journey and I was still tired from last night so I fell asleep as soon as the flight took off. After I woke up I talked to David for a while and then we watched movies.

I still can't believe we are going to Paris. A part of me still couldn't take all of this. I felt like I will open my eyes now and all of it was a dream. Never had I imagined celebrating my birthday like this and it's all because of David. I wish I could do half of what he does for me.

The flight landed and then we got in the car that was waiting for us.

"Let's check into our rooms and freshen up first."

We drove to our hotel and I was in awe of it. It looks like a five-star hotel and must cost I don't want to think. I was so excited to see what David has planned more. We walk up to the receptionist and as soon as she looks at him. She blushes and lowers her eyes. The effect he has on girls. I put my hand in his and held him. He smirks knowing I was jealous. I can't help it sometimes."How can I help you, Sir?" She says flirtily. David was all calm as he says."I have a reservation under the name David Smith."

Before the flirty receptionist could say something, a man runs up to the desk. He was dressed up in a suit and I take a look at his name tag. He was the manager."Let me take over." The receptionist moves on to entertain other guests. I am glad."Welcome, Sir. We are glad to have you as guests. We have the penthouse suite available if you like."

I squealed in joy and David chuckles."Penthouse. I would love the penthouse."

He looks at me and then looks back at the manager smiling.

"As the lady wishes."

I was kind of surprised by how famous David was. People recognize him here too. We take the lift up to the penthouse and David opened the door. We entered the penthouse.

Holy Moly. It is freaking huge. It had a balcony and a private swimming pool. A spiral staircase like those in movies leads to the room upstairs. There was this enormous 55 inch TV in and a couch with a coffee table. There were two master bedrooms but I don't think we need two.

It was the best. After exploring and admiring the penthouse we got freshened up after the long flight we had and got changed into our clothes. After which we had lunch and headed to our first destination.

We were at the Seine River. We stood at the bridge. David holds my hand as we gaze at the river flowing."Ava can you see the locks around here. People have their love locks locked in here and throw the key in the river as a sign of their never-ending love."

I look at him sideways and he looks at me."Let's have our lock too."

"The reason I brought you here." He says and I giggle.

He hands me a lock taking it out from his pocket. It had our names engraved on it. "David and Ava. Perfect." After locking our lock in the bridge, David threw the key as far as he could.

"Can we just stay here for a while?"

We stood there for a little while. I held David's arm and we looked at the river flowing in front of us. We both were silent enjoying the view and each other's company.

Then we headed to the Eiffel Tower. We were on the topmost floor of the Eiffel Tower and it was such a beautiful sight. I could stay here looking at the view for hours and never get bored. I could see the whole city from up here. The lights of the houses light up and how tiny they seemed from up here. I looked around to see we are the only ones here."How come we are the only ones here?"

"I had to pull some strings and after a lot of efforts I managed to have this place for us for a while." Aww. He did so much to make my birthday special. It was a wonderful day and I would never forget it. I kiss his cheek and he rubs the nape of his neck smiling."You are the best. As much As I want to enjoy this view." My stomach rumbles and I look at David."I am starving."

"I thought you would never say."

We went to a rooftop restaurant where we could see the Effiel Tower. Everything about this day was perfect. I couldn't ask for more. This is the best birthday of my life."I am very lucky to have you, This was the best birthday I ever had. Thank you so much."

David holds my hand and squeezes it."I will do everything I can if it makes you happy."

I could feel my cheeks redden. I never thought I would find love and when I found him. After Harry, I never thought I would find love but then he steps into my life and changes everything. He made me believe in those fairytales. The best part being I wasn't searching when I found him. We had finished our dinner but we just sat there looking at each other smiling. He is so caring and sweet. I love this man with all my heart.

"It's time for dessert."

"I would rather have you for dessert." He whispers coming close to my face. He gets back and winks at me. We headed back to our penthouse and as soon as we entered. I closed the door and kissed him. I was unbuttoning his shirt when he stopped and pulled back. I peeked at his body, well muscular body through the half buttoned-up shirt. He sighs and whispers."As much as I want this. I don't want to force you into it. I don't want you to regret it."

I didn't say a word another word and kissed him again. I tiptoed up whispering in his ear in a low seductive voice."Make me yours."

With my confirmation, David kissed me back. This time with a lot of passion and hunger for me. I folded my legs around his waist without breaking the kiss as he lifted me taking me to the bedroom.

I unbuttoned his shirt and he unzipped my dress. His kisses trailed down my lips to my neck. It was way better than I imagined my first night to be. It was the best decision and I don't regret it for a second. I traced his tattoo over his shoulder with my fingers gently and I could feel his muscles flexed under my touch.

With the warmth of his body against mine and how his fingers entangled with mine, I was craving for him. I wanted him. Amidst the kisses, he whispered I love you and his hot breath sent tingles down my spine.

"You are mine." He says and I kiss him. I swooned. He kisses my scars and I saw the pain in his eyes looking at it. I mumble an It's fine. He smiles at me as his eyes shine brighter. I chuckle in between as he whispered something in my ear. This day couldn't get any better.

Next morning

I woke up in David's arms surrounding me as I recollected the events of last night. I looked up at his face and couldn't help but smile. I just looked at him for a while adoring his face. I kissed his cheek when he woke up. He gave me his most infectious smile and I could forget everything with that smile. He pulled me close to him and looked at him. He smiles and then yawns.

"Good morning, Sunshine," He says closing his eyes still holding me in my arms."You are tired." I mumble and he opens his eyes. He moves a strand of hair behind my ear and I smiled."I love waking up next to you."

"Well, I am not going anywhere so you will always find me next to you in the morning."

"I love you so so much."

"I love you, David."

David

"I would rather have you for dessert." I winked at her playfully. I wasn't joking. We headed back to our penthouse and as soon as we entered. Ava closed the door and kissed me. She was unbuttoning my shirt when I stopped and pulled back. My shirt, half unbuttoned. I found her staring at me. I look at her."As much as I want this. I don't want to force you into it. I don't want you to regret it."

Ava didn't say a word and kissed me again. She tiptoed up as she whispered in my ear. There it was again. The tingling sensation whenever she is close to me. When she said Make me yours. I didn't wait for a second. I couldn't hold any longer.

"You are mine." I have been waiting so long for this moment but I wanted Ava to be ready. I didn't want to pressure her into doing something she would regret later.

She folded her legs around my waist as I carried her to the bedroom without breaking the kiss. She unbuttoned my shirt and I unzipped her dress. She was perfect. I could see some scars and I softly kissed them. I feel anger rise within me seeing the scars on her body. That bastard hurt her so much.

I swear to God, I would beat him up in pieces and make him lay for hurting her. She was a sweet angel. How can someone do this to her? First her parents and then that stupid excuse of a man.

Now that I have her, I will never hurt her, I will always make her happy and love her till my last breath. I will love her, cherish her. She deserves it all. She is everything for me. I whispered I love you and I could feel her body react to my touch and I loved it.

She chuckled and smiled and I melted in her smile. The feeling when she chuckles and looks at me with her bright blue eyes. I cannot think of anything else. I was addicted to her. She is all I want. I was craving for her as she did for me. I love her with all my heart and I couldn't ask for more. She makes me happy. This was one of the best nights of my life.

The next morning I woke up when I felt Ava's soft lips on my cheek. I pull her closer to my body as she buries her head on my chest and I inhale her scent."Good morning, Sunshine." I say with her in my arms my eyes closed."You are tired." She says. I am tired. Yes, that is why I can sleep with her close beside me."I love waking up next to you."

"Well, I am not going anywhere so you will always find me next to you in the morning." She says smiling. I promise to wake up next to you every morning. I loved her with all my heart. I won't let her go ever again.

"I love you so so much."

"I love you, David."

(Everything is in place. Now, what's in store for them? What happens next?)
