Spring break!! Finally!! Gosh this master course is killing me! I never thought it would be so demanding in terms of time and efforts. I’m so happy I have these 5 weeks to relax a bit. And the best part is...I’m going to PARIS!!! YEAH BABY!!!

 

I mean, that has been a dream of mine. The city of lights, style, fashion, architecture, food...Everything is amazing there! I think that’s one of the greatest things about studying in the UK. Maybe it wasn’t that bad of a choice, after all!

 

There I am at the airport, 4 hours before the flight!! Argh I can’t believe I did it again! I always get scared that something will happen along the way, or that I will do something wrong, so I end up going early to airports...I guess I could be a guide to pretty much all the airports I’ve been to... Anyways, I’ll just watch something while waiting for the luggage disposal time to arrive. Mhm.. Got it! I’ll watch Rise of the Guardians! I don’t care if people passing by will wonder why a 20 year old is watching an animated movie in the airport... I won’t ever see them anyways...

 

Thank you Dreamworks! I didn’t see the time passing by and now the movie ended, I guess I’ll just grab a cup of coffee then go check in. I then went in and started shopping! What I like most in airports!

 

After about 20 minutes it was time for boarding. I went to the gate, then found my place on the plane and sat down. All I could do was hope there would be no babies on this plane. I mean babies are cute and everything, but from far away, behind a glass that does not let sound pass through...

 

_ Hi! Said a voice next to me.

 

I turned around to greet whomever was to sit next to me for the next hour, only to find...

 

_ Oh my!! I mean, Hi!

 

_ What a nice day to go to Paris right! By the way, I’m Daniel

 

I was still in denial, shock... huh? Daniel Henney? I secretly pinched my arm to make sure I was not going to wake up in my room and realise I had to finish my coursework. But no, he WAS here, and I WAS here!! Oh my!

 

_ Oh it’s okay if you prefer not to say your name, strangers can be dangerous these days, I understand, he said while smiling, oh Gosh what this smile was doing to me only through screens, let alone here...

 

_ Oh I’m really sorry! My name is you

 

_ Charming name, nice to meet you, you

 

_ Nice to meet you too

 

We then started talking about UK weather, and the fact that he was visiting some family in Ireland, before heading to some business in London, and now he had other things to do in Paris. I couldn’t help but ask him:

 

_ I do not know if it’s appropriate to ask you, but shouldn't someone of your status be flying first class?

 

He gave a “mhm?” look.

 

_ Oh yeah, I know who you are.

 

He burst into laughter.

 

_ I was starting to ask myself if my popularity was dropping, you did not seem to recognize me.

 

I preferred not to mention a thing about the shock I had when I recognized him, we would not want him to go running away now, would we? He stopped my mind from wandering any further and said:

 

_Well, you see, sometimes we do things and we don't even know why

 

I just smiled at his mysterious sentence and we kept talking, and talking, during, and after the landing. We then got off the airplane and while at the border i said:

 

_ Do you mind if I took a picture with you, I have one or two friends who would love to see that

 

He gave me that smile (oh THAT SMILE) and said:

 

_ I thought you'd never ask!

 

I asked a person passing by to take a picture of us. When he was done, Daniel gave the person his phone and asked if we could get another picture. I was looking at him, not understanding what was going on, he looked at me and said:

 

_ What? I care about my fans

 

_  Who said I was your fan?  I said. I was starting to feel comfortable around him, and was more being myself.

 

He only laughed while looking at me in a malicious way. Gosh this guy laughs a lot! Or maybe he think I’m really trying to be funny... He then said

 

_ So listen, it was really good to talk to you, so would you mind giving me your phone number? I would call you while I’m in Paris, or the next time I go to London, what do you say?

 

Was I dreaming? I couldn’t help but pinch myself again to make sure...

 

_ It’s okay if you don’t want to... I just would like to think I didn't cancel my first class flight and asked the lady for "the seat near the cute girl" for nothing...

 

_ Um, sure, yeah, of course

 

I gave him the number while still wondering when I would wake up, he was really writing it down, which was even more surprising to me... Then I smiled at him and said.

 

_ Well the, this is goodbye right?

 

_ Yeah, I just don't want fans to take pictures of you and start some rumours... too early for that don't u think? He said. Too early? Huh?

 

_Don't worry, all they'll say is I'm too short and too ugly for you, it would be alright, I answered

 

He then leaned in (I realized then how tall he was and what a shortie I was next to him, and he whispered to my ear:

 

"You're just perfect", then he gave me a light, delightful kiss on the cheek, turned around, and waved his hand without turning around... I stood there for a while, wondering if all that happened was real, if my mind was playing tricks on me again... Then I looked at the picture on my phone and decided to believe what just happened, then I took out the map to find the hotel I was staying in... No doubt, Paris is where magic happens....

 

 

 

So guys let me know what you think! Cheers ^_^
