Chapter 42: Chapter 42

The warm breeze hit gently at my face as we continued driving. I exhaled the cool breeze as I smiled.

I glanced at Drake who was focused on his driving, sometimes we both glanced at each other at the same time and I would look away immediately while I blush.

He rested his right palm on my knee and I smiled as I covered my palm with his.

"So where are we visiting?" I asked curiously.

"You will get to know when we get there," He said with a smirk.

I rolled my eyes at him, he is always full of surprises.

We kept on driving through the highway as I stared at people moving on with whatever thing they were doing.

Paris is such a beautiful place to behold.

Finally, Drake pulled up by the park and I glanced towards my front.

I gasped as I saw water in front of me. I got down from the car immediately and ran a bit ahead.

"Wait for me!" Drake called behind me as he ran after me.

It wasn't long before he caught up with me and I was smiling broadly.

We were at the Seine River Cruise. It was one of the most alluring ambiances of Paris.



"Wanna have a boat cruise?" Drake asked me.

"Of course," I said excitedly as he took my hand in his and we went over to where the boats were parked.

We went over to one of the sailors, still admiring the sea Drake negotiated with the man as I stared amusingly at the lovely sight.

"C'mon," Drake said holding my arms.

We boarded the boat and I was so happy to cruise on the water.

The sailor started the boat and I held on to Drake.

This would be my first time to be on the water.

"Have you ever been in a boat?" Drake asked with a raised brow.

' He's gonna make fun out of it' I thought within me.

"It's my first." I shrugged.

He looked at me with amusement as his lips curled up to a smile.

"So you haven't been on waters before?" He asked chuckling and I rolled my eyes.

We could hear the whizzing sound of the boat on the water.

The breeze slapped hard across my face as my hair blew effortlessly.

I smiled and closed my eyes. I loved the smell of the waters, it was fresh and cool.

"Do you love it?" Drake asked as he moved closer to me.

I stared deeply into his beautiful eyes and kissed him.

He responded fast and we kissed slowly and sensually.

He parted my lips with his tongue as he took over my tongue while he wrapped one of his hands at the nape of my neck.

I let out a little moan and smiled between his lips breaking the kiss.

"I love it thank you so much." I appreciated him.

We held each other hands and savor the sight of the cruise on the river.

I brought out my iPhone and snapped pictures with him.

"I didn't know you were a photo addict," He chuckled as smiled again to take another shot with me.

"Yes, I am, and if I don't, Annie would kill me if I don't have any pictures to show her," I said smiling at him.

"That's great." He said as he brushed my hair to the back.

We cruised on the water for close to an hour before we got down from the boat.

My clothes were a bit wet and I followed Drake along to the sports car.

We both got in and he ignited the car and we zoomed off.

I can't wait for the next place we would be going to.

"Are you hungry? We can grab a picnic basket with food in one of the cafes." He said.

"That's great." I chirped in.

"Wait for a second! Are we going to woods?" I asked anxiously.

"Something like that," Drake said with a smirk.

"Hmm okay!" I said it was no use asking him where we were going to cause he will not say it.

My gaze shifted to the wonderful building's structure and sculpture I saw as we were driving.

20 minutes later we stopped in front of a café.

"Sit right here, I will go get the food," Drake said as he pecked me.

"But I want to follow you," I said with a pout.

"I won't stay long, just sit here, I will be right back." He said squeezing my hands a bit.

"Okay," I said I smiled at him.

I watched him as he got into the café, my God he's so damn handsome.

I brought out my iPhone and started scrolling through the pictures I had with Drake. It was so cute and lovely, and I was pretty sure I was smiling like an idiot.

"Hmmm, why you blushing?" Drake asked whispering into my ears making me jerk up.

"You startled me, "I said with a sigh of relief rushing through me.

Drake raised a brow at me still waiting for his answers.

"Uhm! I was checking the pictures we both had together," I said sheepishly.

He chuckled and kept the basket at the back seat as I turned slightly on my seat to take a look at it.

He started the car on started driving, he switching on the radio and was listening to these old songs.

"Ya an old school,' I said amusingly rolling my eyes,

I switched the radio to another channel where they were playing R&B and luckily for me it was my favorite song.

I hummed along with the song as I tapped on my laps.

Drake glanced at me every second and I was forced to ask him, "why are you staring at me always?" I asked raising a brow at him.

" Me, no am not!" He said innocently and I chuckled at his childish behavior.

"I never knew you had this side in you," I said amusingly.

"What side?" He asked with a smirk.

" Nevermind," I said as I stared outside.

He stopped the car immediately.

"What the heck!!" I half screamed.

"Is anything wrong?" He asked raising a brow at me.

" No-nothing," I said as I covered my face with my palms.

"I'm not taking no for answer." He said stubbornly.

I rolled my eyes and faced him.

" You act childish," I giggled.

"Huh!!!" He said confused.

"Now start the car and drive," I said and bit my lips.

He stared at my lips and smirked at me.

He pulled closer and gave me a warm kiss which melted my heart.

I drew him closer to me and kissed him deeply.

I love the way he tastes and his scents get me crazy always.

We broke the kiss and I gave him a bright smile.

He started the car and drove off. I smiled at the lovely atmosphere as the cool breeze hit gently on my skin.

We've been driving for close to an hour and I was getting bored wondering where we were going to.

"Aren't we there?" I grumbled.

"Soon," He said as he concentrated on the road.

I nodded and kept on staring till I noticed we close to the woods.

He stopped the car abruptly and got down.

Still admiring the environment I was in, he opened the door for me.

"Will you just sit there and gaze off?" He asked chuckling as my attention drawn to him.

"Where are we?" I asked surprisedly, I felt so calm in the environment as I breathed in some fresh air.



"Luxembourg Gardens," Drake stated.

"Wow!!" I said as I walked farther into the garden.

The central octagonal fountain adorned pool was flanked by two terraces lined with statues, orderly geometric rows of flowerbeds, and a lovely manicured shrubbery.

There were many chairs spread about for visitors to use.

I kept on walking and smiling as I noticed a fountain basin hidden under the trees opposite the east font of the Palais.

"Wow!" I muttered.

"Isn't beautiful?" Drake asked behind me.

"It is," I said smiling as I sat down on the grass.

Drake set the food basket on the ground and brought out the contents in it.

There was a cocktail wine with pizzas and Burgers.

"For real!" I asked him raising a brow at him.

"Don't you like it?" He asked innocently.

'He behaves so childishly nowadays, how will he pick pizzas and Burgers for a picnic,' I thought within me.

"What are you thinking?" He asked me as I took a part in the pizzas.

"Nothing!" I said sweetly with a smug on my face.

"Tell me," He said as he moved closer to me.

"No!" I said as I crawled backward.

"Yes!" He demanded.

"Your dumbass don't know the right food for a picnic,"  I burst out.

Realizing what I said, I covered my mouth immediately with my palms.
