SZNS SERIES 1: Summer by Maria Writes (book series for 10 year olds .TXT) 📕

So, he likes movies a lot, huh? She continued looking for movies until she saw her favorite. I knew he had one of this. She gave it to Jesse.

"Really? Burlesque? But I thought you already watched this for like a thousand times?" Jesse inserted the DVD on the player and went back to lay beside her on the bed.

"Shh, it's my favorite movie, ever. So, don't speak." The movie finally started with Ali sitting on the counter. She's getting more excited as the movie went on, and every time Ali sings a song, she sings along with her.

She laughs, then she cried, then she laughed again until the movie end. It was indeed a very fantastic movie. A classic. And she cannot believe it was released just four years ago.

She looked at her side and saw Jesse sleeping. He must be very tired because he's the one who carried all the bags, they had on the mall earlier, not to mention balancing all of them on the bike then rode it for more than half an hour to get back to the hotel.

Chloe went up to turn off the lights and the television then laid beside him. This is the first time she'll sleep beside him. She closed her eyes and let herself fall into a slumber. After all the walk they did all they, she needs some rest.

Tonight, one of her wishes will come true. To finally have someone by her side in her favorite place. Enjoying the scenery. Just the two of them. It'll surely be magical as she has Jesse by her side.

CHAPTER 13:

Oh, Paris!

Her dreams suddenly were stopped when she felt her body lightly shaking. She waited for it to stop but it never did. It just continued until it's impossible for her to get back to sleep. Chloe forced herself to open her eyes and her sight was welcomed by Jesse whose face is so close to hers.

"Hey, wake up. Let's have dinner outside." Jesse smiled at her then helped her get up the bed, she saw her dress and a pair of flat shoes on the couch by on the corner of the room. "I took your clothes from your room so you don't have to go up there."

She nodded. Chloe took her clothes and head inside the bathroom. It didn't took her a while to get ready. She's excited. Jesse told her earlier that they'll go see the Eiffel Tower. Then maybe they'll eat somewhere near by the tower. Her heart is pumping. It's her ultimate dream to see the Eiffel Tower up close, and know she's just a few minutes away from making her dreams come true.

Chloe head out of the bathroom and saw Jesse laying on the bed with his camera in hand. He's laughing while looking something at the camera but she didn't dare to ask. He's been holding that camera all day since they went to the Louvre and he just snaps thousands of pictures. Sometimes, he's telling her to pose somewhere and he'll take a picture, and she finds it really cute. They looked like lost pups in Paris the whole day but at least they enjoyed their trip.

She continued to dry her hair with the towel and styled it. She clipped it on the back then grab her purse. "Come on, let's go."

They walked out of Jesse's room and head towards the elevator with their hands intertwined. It didn't take long for the elevator to open and when it did, they went inside and waited for it to bring them to the lobby.

Outside the hotel, there was a car waiting for them and she looked at Jesse who opened the door for her. So, without asking, she went in and sit comfortably beside him. "When did you get this rental car?"

"Earlier, when you were sleeping." was just what he said so she just looked outside.

The ride was just short, they head out of the car a few distance away from the tower. From afar, she can clearly see that it was crowded. There were some who are just strolling, others are taking pictures. It was a cold summer night. It was a great night for strolling and just relaxing underneath the stars.

"You wanna eat?"

"Yeah, sure, where?" she asked. She thought they'll see the Eiffel Tower first, but it looks like Jesse is already hungry. It'll not hurt to wait for a while, right? Jesse was looking around as if looking for a place to eat.

Then suddenly, he pointed at the tower "What about there? 58 Tour Eiffel, huh?" he asked her. What? Like the restaurant in the tower? She cannot believe what Jesse is asking her. She knows how expensive the restaurants in the Eiffel Tower are. So, she doesn't get why Jesse would ask her to dine there.

"Aren't we supposed to have reservation in there? And Jesse, that's very expensive. We can just dine somewhere budget friendly." It's not like she doesn't want to eat there and reject Jesse's offer, but she doesn't want to burden him with all the luxurious things she wants in life.

Jesse looked at her and held her hand. They both started walking towards the tower. Well, it looks like she doesn't have any choice. She got to admit that she's kinda excited for this but she still doesn't like the fact that Jesse is spending all his money on her.

"The reservation was done by your parents. They also wanted to pay for the expense but I told them I'll take care of it. And besides, it's my birthday gift for you. With a little help from your parents of course." Jesse said while they are still walking towards the tower. Of course, her parents had something to do with this. They kidnapped them in the first place so, she shouldn't be surprise that they are behind
