"Okay."

Hand in hand, they both walk to the bike rental near their hotel. They took one double bike and rode that on their way to the Louvre Museum. It took them 12 minutes to reach their destination. It was a bit tiring but when she saw the glass pyramid structure of the museum her exhaustion melted away.

When they went inside, they were welcomed by different artforms made in different eras. She enjoyed looking at different paintings and sculpture. And so is Jesse. They spent hours walking around the museum and appreciating all the art displayed inside.

Chloe enjoyed every second of it. When it's time for lunch, they finally head out of the museum and look for a place to eat. They found a small restaurant near their hotel and settled themselves in. The moment they took their seat, a waiter asked for their orders.

"Je vais avoir Confit byaldi et juste de l'eau s'il vous plaît." she told the waiter and handed him the menu. Jesse had some lobster bisque. While waiting for their orders to arrive, they both make plans for the rest of the day and tomorrow morning.

"I didn't know you could speak French." Jesse said while looking at her with amusement in his eyes.

She smiled at him and she showed him her phone. "Well, there's a lot of things you don't know about me yet. And besides, translator is free on the internet. I know a bit of French but I'm not yet fluent."

He just nodded at her but he's still looking at her. He's been like that for a while before talking again. "Maybe we should visit Eiffel Tower tonight, then maybe do shopping after lunch. Whatever you want to do."

"Yes, maybe we should do that, then let's just rest in the hotel after that. My feet hurt with all that walking in the museum."

Finally, the waiter already arrived with their food which the immediately dig in. They’re both starving so they finished eating in just a few minutes. Then after eating, they stayed inside the restaurant for a while to have a little rest before going out to go shopping.

They were riding the bike they rented and just pedaled it around the Paris streets. Both of them paddle the bike, but when her legs got tired, she just lets Jesse do all the work while she just looks from left to right to see if something will catch her attention. So, she pulled on Jesse's shirt to get his attention.

"Hey, stop over there." She pointed at the Voodoo shop she saw. Jesse gave her a weird look before making their way to the shop. Yes, it's weird but ever since she was a little kid, witchcraft and theater are always the things that fascinates her.

She pulls Jesse inside the shop and they were welcomed by the shop’s sandalwood scent.

"What are we doing here? Tell me you're not a witch." Jesse said while looking around the place. The store is quiet. She searches every shelfs it has and look for something that will appeal her. After a few minutes, she came across an old set of tarot card. She grabbed it and went to pay for it. It was a bit pricey unlike the card she bought in L.A.

But it was worth it. Another piece to add on her collection. She was still looking around the shop to see if there’s still something she can buy but she saw Jesse feeling uncomfortable so she decided to head out of the store and went to their bike.

After settling herself on the double bike she talked to Jesse who's still looking at her weirdly. "Why are you looking at me like that? It's just a voodoo shop. I don't even know if this thing works, I just collect them. I have tons at home."

At last, Jesse finally rode the bike. "I can't believe my girlfriend is a witch." He mumbled to himself and she heard it clearly. But she decided not to reply to him. She knows it is weird buying and collecting stuff like that.

The day passed by in a blur. They enjoyed their time in the mall, buying everything they see. That's where she knows her mother sent her tons of money to use for this trip. Now, she's on her hotel room arranging everything she bought. Her luggage is filled with clothes she bought in some designer boutique she saw.

Then three of her bags are filled with books, perfumes, shoes, and souvenirs for her friends. After putting everything in her bag, she prepared the dress she'll wear tonight for the dinner. She'll be wearing a dark green knee-length dress and just clip her hair to the back. When everything is prepared. She took her box of macarons and head out of her room and went to Jesse's.

His room is on the 8th floor while hers is above it. When she reached his room, she knocked on the door and waited for it to open. Jesse opened the door after a few seconds of knocking. She went inside and laid on the bed, still eating her macarons.

Jesse was watching a movie. It just ended but she saw tons of DVDs on his backpack. There was a lot of movie to choose from on those DVDs. She grabbed the bag and see something good to watch. Jesse just came out of the bathroom and sat on the bed beside her then took some macarons on the box.

"Where did you get all of these? I thought you have no idea about this trip?"

"Blake and Max must have brought that together with my luggage. I mentioned to them one time that I love to travel with my DVDs, I have a portable player that I used to bring with that, but looks like they left it at home. They just brought the DVDs
