Finding love in Paris

PROLOGUE  The beast was not home so she was able to sneak into the forest to play and sit close to the lake for a while. After a while, she decided to go home because the beast found out that she wasn't home, she was going to be punished. She opened the door and the beast awaited her."Where did you go," he asked and I remained silent"Answer me girl""I-I-I---went""Stop stammering""I went to the lake""What did I tell you about going to the lake""Nev-er---""Don't you dare stammer"

I dragged my traveling bag against the marble as I navigated my way through tons of people to get out of the arrival wing. Lila had told me that she would be waiting for me just outside the arrival wing but right now Lila was nowhere to be found.   I walked further but I still couldn't find her. I wasn't looking where I was going when a woman yelled"Are you blind?"The woman snapped"Sorry but what did I do?"I asked confused"Your silly bag almost made my trip" That was it. She almost tripped and she was shouting as though a megaphone wouldn't be enough for her to yell. I didn't feel like getting into trouble on my first day in a foreign country so I decided to apologize. The woman eyeballed me and with a hiss, she left.

The workers at the site seemed very nice and I had a pretty good time talking and getting to know them. Right now, I was carefully making one of my infamous sandwiches since I was hungry. After putting everything together, I had a mouth-watering dinner waiting to journey down my digestive system. I dimmed the lights a little, brought out wine, and gave the living room a candlelight dinner vibe.

I hauled my hungry self off the couch and opened the door."What do you want?"I said to the frustrating person in front of me."What if I told you I brought food, would you let me in?"My hope was renewed. I dragged him by the collar inside my apartment."I'll take that as a yes, "He said as he gave me the plate "What's this?"I  asked out of curiosity"Chicken fricassee. It's a Parisian dish.........""I don't need the history mister" I cut him off"You could be a little more grateful y

His statement left me speechless. Why would he even think that...He smirked"Cats has gotten the pretty girl's tongue"Pretty. The word echoed in my head. Was he trying to play mind games with me?"If you brought me out here to play mind games then I'm afraid you'll have to take me back to my apartment," I said with folded arms.He laughed. His laughter was rich and like pleasant music to the ears."Krystabel Andez stop thinking about his laughter" I scolded myself internally"I don't play mind games hazel but if it will get you to stop hating me then I'll try" he smiled"Well we've been walking and we haven't gotten to our destination yet"I frownedHe walked and I followed. We got to a place with a wall built with vines. He shifted the Vines aside and I was disappointed. I had thought I would see something out of a Disney production but instead, I saw a circle with a star in the middle and a bench. How lovely is that?
