Chapter 2

The late night had come that summer in Paris. Tourists were still lingering about while the locals lived their everyday lives. The streets glowed from the lights of the city. Shane followed behind Andrea and Michonne as laughed like the old friends they were as they headed towards the Eiffle Tower. He couldn't help but smile as he watch his girlfriend and his childhood friend. It reminded him when Michonne first introduced him to Andrea fifteen years ago when they were in college. He had no idea that thirteen year later he would meet her again and change his life.

He pulled out his phone and dialed it, finally getting around to make his call. After a few rings, his friend picked up, with his ruggedly handsome face popping up on the screen.

"Hey, how's Paris?" Rick's tired, country voice came through as he smiled. "Is it safe?"

"As safe as could be expected. Wish you were here with us."

"Yeah me too."

Shane rubbed his bald head in nervousness. "I can't believe I'm really about to do this." He looked up ahead of him his eyes focusing on the woman he loved before switching to the other woman. He mischieviously smirked back at his friend on the phone. "You know who you need to see though? Michonne. You thought she was fine before?"

Rick chuckled and shook his head. "Yeah well, remember that you're taken."

"Oh, I know. Hold on." He pressed a button to switch the camera on his phone, so Rick could see what Shane was looking at. Suddenly Rick was looking at Andrea and Michonne from behind. "You see that? You could have been here trying to get some of that."

Rick eyes widen a bit as he watched her curves as she practically strutted down the street and Shane saw him blush a little. "Stop. Put that camera back on your stupid face."

"I swear. Your priorities, man." He flipped the camera back. "It almost feel like old times man. Only thing missing is you."

"Yeah. Maybe we'll catch whenever she's back in town."

"Or," Shane smirked, "you can catch up right now. Michonne!" He shouted before Rick could protest. Andrea and Michonne stopped in their tracks and towards him. Michonne raised an eyebrow at him. "Someone wants to say hi."

"What are you doin'?" The other man practically hissed at his friend.

"Did you really think we'd go through this whole trip with out you two speakin'? What are you nervous about?"

"I'm not, I'm just- Hey Michonne." Shane had abruptly given the beautiful dredhead the phone and he immediately felt clumsy. What the hell were they supposed to even talk about?

She smiled, easily recognizing his grayish-blue eyes. They'd only seen pictures of each other in the past five years. "Well, if it isn't Pretty Ricky."

His heart involuntarily skipped at the nickname she gave him long ago. No one called him that anymore and yet somehow it sounded better than ever coming from her. "I'm glad to see you."

"Glad to see you too."

He knew he had to make some move, no matter how small or Shane was going to give him shit all week about it. "You look good." He almost face palmed himself for how lame he felt.

She smilled brightly at him though. "You too. See you go a bit of scruff on your face now." She pointed at his face on the screen.

Rick awkwardly scratched his short beard. He wasn't much of a facial hair kind of guy, especially with his job. He had only recently decided to grow it, keeping it neat, but he still felt a little self concious about. "You like it?"

Even though they weren't as close as they used to be, couldn't help but let her deadpan humor slip out. "I already said you look good. You fishing for compliments now?"

Before he could respond though, tipsy Andrea popped up behind Michonne's shoulder. "Hey Rick."

"Hey Andrea. Is Shane behaving himself?"

She glanced at her boyfriend, who was turned away from her, searching through his coat for something. "For now."

Shane turned back around and grabbed Andrea's hand. He tried to sound casual, not wanting his nerves to show. "Hey babe, give Michonne your camera real quick."

Andrea steps away from her friend, clutching her precious and expensive camera. "Why?"

He tried to take it from her, but she continued to pull away from her. "I want her to record us in front of the tower."

"Ugh. Fine." She rolled her eyes and handed over the device.

Shane wrapped his arms around her body and spun her around laughing. "What's with the attitude?"

Andrea laughed, breaking free from his grasp to avoid his lips. "I don't have an attitude. You just picked a random time to do this while we're on the phone with Rick."

"Relax, this'll take two seconds." Shane moved back over to Michonne to turn the camcorder on and whispered. "Hey can you record us and also flip camera on the phone so Rick can see us."

Michonne could sense that he was up to something, but she didn't know what, so she just went with it. "You're asking for a lot right now." She flipped the camera, pressed record and Shane gave a thumbs up to the front of the phone for Rick before taing Andrea's hand in his as they headed in front of the Eiffle Tower.

Suddenly, it got quite. Michonne felt a bit awkward that she could still see Rick's face on the phone, but he couldn't could see her in return. Maybe a little conversation wouldn't hurt.

"So, how've you been?"

After a few moments of confusion on his pretty face and cocking his head to the side, she had to try not to laugh at it, Rick responded. "Are you talking to me?"

She shrugged, even though he couldn't see her and causal spoke."Well, since Andy and Shane are over there, it seems that I am."

He genuinely smiled and shook his head. "I'm good. My son Carl just went out with his friends."

"By Starr's Mill Waterfall?"

"I hope not. The thangs he could get into if he is."

Her mind traveled back on the days and nights they snuck up there. "Oh, I remember. We use to get into all kinds of things over there. It's a summer night too?"

He smiled fondly at his own memories. "Those were some crazy times." The drinking and skinny dipping for just a couple of them. Sometimes others would venture over there but that was their spot.

Silence came upon them again. She didn't know what to say next, trying to comb through the things she'd learned about him from the past few years through Andrea and social media.

"How's your daughter?"

His memories dissipaited at the sudden intrusion of her voice. He glanced passed his phone for a second and chuckled. "Trying to steal cheetos before dinner as if I can't see her."

She smiled, imagining the two year old she never met, going for an out of reach snack bag. Probably Shane's influence. "Sounds like my son Andre. He tries to run off to his room, which just makes him look even more suspicious." She missed her son, who was spending the summer with his father. She was living pretty alone for the season since her military friend went back to the states.

He smiled teasingly. "He get it from his mama. I remember when you used to hide your stash of candy bars."

Michonne blushed at that, with Rick unaware that she still kept her secret candy stashes all over. Some things doesn't change indeed. "I was a lot more stealthy though."

"Give him time." His face perked up and nodded. "Hope you're recording and paying attention. You're gonna wanna see this."

Remembering that her friends were around, she looked up to see them standing in front of the tower, each of their hands clasped with each other. Shane stared at her full of love in his eyes. "What is he- Oh my gosh!" He dropped down to one knee startling his girlfriend by the action. "Did you know about this?!"

He excitedly smiled at the hysteria in her voice. It was always hard to put on over Michonne, he forgot how adorable it was when it happened, even if he couldn't see her face. "Of course. Who you think is the best man?"

A crowd began to form around the couple and Michonne had to run up to the couple to prevent herself from getting block by the onlookers. Andrea had tears in her eyes as he pulled out a ring covered in small diamonds with a light green stone in the center, matching her eyes. As an answer, she leaped on the him pulling, covering his lips passionately. The crowd applauded, whistle and took photos.

Michonne watched stunned but happy for her friends. She didn't imagine when she introduced them for the first time fifteen years before that the three of them would be standing where they were. "I can't believe he just did that."

"Imagine my surprise a couple of months ago that he was ready and dragged me along for ring shopping. You know Shane. Once he set his sights on something, he determined to get."

Andrea dragged Shane back over to her best friend. Shane took the phone and camcorder away to record the women while he spoke to his own best friend. Andrea wrapped her arms around Michonne, happy tears streaming down her tanned face.

Tears filled Michonne's own eyes at the other woman's excitement. Seeing these two, who were unlikely to settle down ready to spend forever together, suddenly gave her hope for the possibility of her own love life. Maybe she could find forever with some one day as well "I guess I have a bridesmaid dress to pick out."

"More like my maid of fucking honor! We need to celebrate! Drinks are on me!"

A/N: Next chapter may be a flashback of their first meeting Michonne. This was actually more difficult than I anticipated. Anyways, let me know what you think? Would love to hear from you all :)...
