Chapter 35: Chapter 35
“Valentino!!” he snapped then moved his body slightly away from me, I took a deep breath and let it out a little faster.
“Investigate it...no...tell me the results ASAP...no, don’t tell him.”
The conversation ended, I wonder because Sean seemed tense.
“What’s wrong? You look tense.”
Sean put his phone back in his jeans pocket and looked at me with a smile that didn’t touch his eyes.
“Just a small problem, nothing to worry about,” he said and I felt odd.
“I want to know,” I insisted, not wanting to give up. Ryan took a deep breath.
“Someone attacked your Audi in the apartment.”
My blood immediately cooled, who?? Why??
“Do you know who did it?? Have you reported it to the police??”
Sean shook his head then he took my hand and held it.
“Sam will look into it, don’t worry.”
My brain is still processing this information, it’s unusual for an incident like this to happen, especially in a luxury apartment that has a sophisticated security system. We arrived at the restaurant where we were going to have lunch, when I got out of the car my mind was distracted by the sight of the towering Eiffel tower, I smiled my tensed mood turned calm and cheerful.
“This is my lifelong dream, seeing Eiffel in real as it is now,” I said with a stunned look, Sean gave me a deep kiss on my cheek.
“Come on, we have to eat after that you can see it up close.”
We immediately entered the restaurant for lunch.
Lunch passed quickly, I can’t wait to see this city which is dubbed as the fashion center of the world. Sean decided to walk, and I agreed with that, our hands clasped together as we walked down the sidewalk with other pedestrians. I like him who seems to enjoy this atmosphere with me, free, cheerful, and happy. We giggled like a couple of teenagers in love. When we arrived at the location of the Eiffel tower, we took photos of the two of us using Sean’s cellphone several times with different poses. I felt like I was flying across the horizon with Sean by my side, then we kissed right under the Eiffel tower, then gave each other a bright and silly smile and then laughed, we became the center of attention of some people, but I don’t care, my shyness seems to disappear now because of me very happy. Satisfied to see the Eiffel, we went to the next place and it was because of my request, we went to the Louvre museum one of the places we really wanted to visit after the Eiffel tower. Around 35,000 works of art are exhibited in the museum which was once a palace built by King Phillip 2 in the 12th century.
I can’t stop being stunned and amazed, my tongue feels numb as I stand in front of that majestic building.
“You are okay?” Sean interrupted my admiration.
“Yeah, I just...”
I don’t know how to describe my current mood, it’s too emotional.
“This is a dream come true, I’ve only dreamed this all along, never know when it can come true and at this moment....”
I held back the emotional turmoil that seemed to want to explode inside of me. My eyes were distracted by Sean who was now standing right in front of me with his charming mega watt smile. His hands grabbed mine and kissed the backs of my hands in turn.
“All for you, Ariana, hearts and flowers,” he said then I released my hand from his grip and immediately hugged him, wrapped my arms around his body Sean hugged me back, I leaned my cheek against his chest which was wrapped in a dark blue polo shirt and listened to his heartbeat, my husband, mine and i love her. I felt him give me a deep kiss on the top of my head and inhale the scent of my hair.
“I love you, Sean,” I said with a smile that contained high-voltage happiness.
“I love you too, more than you know,” he replied which made me feel like I was in heaven at the top.
One day will not be enough to explore all the places in this vast museum. Feeling proud because you can see the painting by Da Vinci which is very famous, Monalisa, there is also a statue by Michelangelo and many more works of art from various countries, civilizations, and artists. Sean and I rested our feet near the Louvre’s glass pyramid, the sun had set by the time we came out of the museum, but the orange tinge was still visible in the sky, the lights around the pyramid were on, and I asked Sean to take a picture of me with the background of the pyramid, then me and him took a picture together.
“You’ve been to this place before?” I asked as we sat by the pyramid Sean nodded.
“Who with?”
My Inner Goddess rolled her eyes in an irreverent manner due to my high curiosity and unnecessary in this situation.
“Rani and my mom, alone a few times,” he replied, my brow furrowed at this fact.
“A woman?”
I was pounding waiting for his answer, my Inner Goddess waited curiously too.
“Never.”
My Inner Goddess stood proudly and danced gracefully in ballet and made a circular motion, and stood on the tips of her big toes, smiling wide with pride.
“Another first thing,” I said almost in a whisper.
“Yes.” Sean replied to me and it made me smile, he looked at me with his shy look and it was so cute, I want to lick him now. The spring breeze ruffled a few strands of my hair, I looked at the scenery around me. It still feels like a dream that I’m here, right now with a man who has above average good looks, riches, and all the things I never imagined would come in my life. I heard Sean was on the phone in French, I could only understand when he said the name of this place.
“Hungry?”
I turned to him and nodded, he then took my hand and held it.
“Come on, let’s have dinner and then go to the hotel you must be tired,” he said, we walked towards the gate of this museum, a few seconds later the limousine that had escorted us since earlier arrived.
