Chapter 12: FINALLY IN PARIS
The couple alighted from their flight, it was morning already with a bit of drizzling.
"Hands around here Gorgeous," Miles told Astrid, whose face was already red from the continuous blushing.
This caught Julian's attention, and he strutted toward them.
"Hey... the press is everywhere so you need to go with
while Miles goes with her."
Astrid was surprised Julian didn't feel embarrassed and thought of going with her.
"Chill man.." Miles patted his shoulder and moved closer to Mattie.
"Babe... we are..." Mattie was about to say but got rudely interrupted.
"I just said the press is around Mattie," Julian took in a deep breath, where was the sudden response coming from?
He loves her so much, how co he is irritated at the thought of seeing Astrid with his friend?
Mattie talks a lot with his friends, but he has never once felt this way.
Astrid wrapped her arms around that of Julain as they both strolled toward their car which was already waiting for them.
Astrid had kept wondering what country they were in, "Are we in Paris?" she asked, not being able to hide her question.
Julian nodded his head and she gasped in shock, "I have always wanted to co here," she whispered.
Astrid couldn't help but admire the surroundings around here.
"Bienvenue Monsieur Julian" The chauffeur greeted Julian.
"Bienvenue belle da" he greeted Astrid, making her smile.
She might not understand French that much but she could tell what the man had said.
"Je vous rercie beaucoup," Astrid responded, still smiling at the chauffeur. Julian gestured to her to give the luggage to the man and got into the car leaving Astrid outside.
Astrid got in her side of the car with the help of the chauffeur and lowered her head.
"I am only here with you because of my mum, but rember..." Astrid shut her eyes seeing he was closer to her.
For a second Julian almost forgot what he was saying staring at the beauty of this lady.
He isn't the ti who admires beauty, how co he notices little actions from her?
He gulped down anxiously and shifted back to his side, "Seeing you smile at other guys might make
so mad, you ruin my life so you are not supposed to be happy the whole vacation."
Astrid looked up and before she could utter a word he cut her off,
"Don't you dare say the word and piss
off," Astrid clipped her lip knowing she was about to apologize.
After almost an hour of driving they pulled in front of a beautiful mansion, it was so beautiful that Astrid got lost staring at the view.
While Julian wouldn't take his eyes off her. They alighted their car and before he could go to the other side to help Astrid open her door.
Mattie grabbed his hands stopping him, "The heck! I am never riding with Miles again," she complained.
"This is supposed to be for the two of us not you and.." she glanced over to Astrid seeing how Miles had helped her out of the car already.
Julian almost lost it seeing this, he couldn't help but wonder what the sudden closeness Miles was having with Astrid.
Julian snatches his hands from Mattie storming off into the mansion.
Mattie ran after him leaving Miles and Astrid.
"Astrid sighed watching this, and it got Miles' attention. "You shouldn't worry about him, if he acts silly toward you I will straighten him up."
Astrid shook her head almost imdiately, "No... it's fine... he has every right to be mad at ."
Miles snickered at this and a sudden guilt washed over him, he put her in this.
"Let go then.." Astrid nodded as they high-walked inside the mansion.
"This place is beautiful and quiet," Astrid said, her eyes beaming in a sudden joy as she weirdly ran around checking it out.
"You like it? I can get you one." Miles let out as they walked right into the mansion.
"Hey... you don't need to play with ," she punched him a little on his shoulder.
Miles scoffed at this, "I am serious though.." he stopped midway seeing Julian standing before him with both hands in his pocket.
"She is my wife, you don't have to get her things I can get for her," the smile on Astrid's face dispersed instantly, recalling Julian's words in the car.
While Mattie glared at her, he shouldn't care about Astrid but she wasn't liking this attitude from Julian.
"It's a harmless word you should get irritated by that," Mile replied, Julian rolled his eyes.
"We are to share a room and also Mum has placed so eyes here to watch us," Julian announced, making Astrid gasp.
"Bu... we can't.." Julian felt sothing moved in him seeing she had finally said another word to him, but was a bit irritated that she was declining.
"Why?"
"She is uncomfortable, that's why, stop asking her the obvious.." Julian glared at Miles who just rolled his eyes and strutted forward.
"Ma... Sophie..." he called out and a lady in her late fifties ca running toward them.
"Oh my... you guys are back!" she called out excitedly, as she pulled him into an embrace.
"Oh my world, my boy is all grown up.." she teased, pulling Miles's cheek.
"We don't have to share a room but make them believe so,"
Julian stated and then a brilliant idea ford in Astrid's head even though she wasn't happy with it it was the right thing to do.
"You can share your room with Mattie, no one would find out... it's supposed to be for the both of you after all.."
If this was said yesterday he would be excited but for a weird reason, he isn't happy about this at all.
A smile appeared on Mattie's face hearing this, "That's a nice idea, Ju.."
"Good morning to you all.." Ma'am Sophie greeted Astrid.
"You must be his new wife?" Astrid gulped hard and glanced at Julian.
"Yes... I am.." she finally replied.
"I have been expecting you, go get a fresh bath and co down for breakfast."
Astrid smiled a bit at this, it's weird with the sudden complint she keeps getting from everyone she cos across here.
It makes her feel they are suddenly making her aware she wasn't.
"Yes, I will..."
"Why don't you both feel at ho? Why do I put her around to do things, she doesn't know how this place works."
"Ma'am Sophie stared at Mattie and then bobbed her head, "You must be Miles girl?"
The smile wipes her face, "Ma'am Sophie... it's , Mattie.." she replied with irritation.
"Oh... I thought you decided to have him since Julian isn't yours anymore," she stated with a small grin.
Mile cracked at this, "Well you can take her to the master bedroom while.." Ma'am Sophie pulled both n.
"I need to get this man to do sothing for ," Astrid didn't feel comfortable staying with Mattie.
"Common let's go.." Mattie lets out as she finds her way up the stairs with Astrid pulling her luggage with her.
They finally got to the front master bedroom but then Mattie turned to her.
"That would be your room," she let out, pointing to the room opposite the master bedroom.
Astrid nodded her head, "Thanks I will.." Mattie pulled her backward and then a smack landed on Astrid's face making her speechless.
"The next ti Julian ever told you to co with him and you do sothing like that... I would teach you a lesson you would never forget.."
Astrid hands laid on her face as she was left in shock
"Understood?" Mattie asked again and she quickly nodded her head.
