Chapter 9:
Shopping dans la france
Clare's POV
It was already the last day of Paris. I kept my promise to Eli and called, texted and skyped with him almost everyday. I liked it, but at the same I got the feeling I was twelve again and no one trusted me by myself, but I guess they did have a legitimate reason.
The entire group gathered downstairs to hear the plans about the day.
"Bonjour classe, aujourd'hui est nous dernier jour", she said and many people looked at her wondering what it meant. Really they took French and didn't know it meant it was the last day.
"Tonight were going out for diner to a formal restaurant, so I expect you to look formal. A dress or a suit preferably, but at least no jeans or t-shirts or you won't be able to enter the restaurant."
I rolled my eyes. Of course, the only thing I didn't bring was a dress like that. Of course I'd brought dresses, but they were all summer dresses and not really suitable for the occasion.
Alli ticked me on my shoulder. "Shopping time?"
I smiled and nodded.
We went with just the two of us. Connor and Jenna were to caught up with acting like a couple and I sighed. I missed Eli so much I almost felt overly attached. Well, delete the almost, I just felt overly attached. But it wouldn't be long anymore before I could be with him again.
We were already looking in the fifth shop and still hadn't found anything even a bit suitable or payable. It was always one of the two. But it finally looked faith was on our side.
"Sale", Alli screamed and ran towards the dresses.
She pulled out a beautiful dark red dress and a ton of different dresses for her and me to fit.
We were holding a fashion show and showed the dresses to each other. Of course the dark red one looked beautiful on Alli but she thought it wasn't sexy enough and I rolled with my eyes. "Yeah, because maybe on of the waiters would think she would be hot, but that dress just ruins everything."
"Ow haha Clare, okay I'll take it, how about you?"
I sighed. Nothing looked as beautiful on me as it did on Alli and I only had two dresses left to fit, a black sophisticated one and the same dress in navy blue.
After five minutes debating I left the dressing room in the black dress and Alli started whistling. "You sexy beast, all guys will stare at you. Eli would go mad if he were here." I blushed and went back in to fit the navy blue one.
When I walked out Alli was quiet, looking amazed. "...Wow Clare, it looks like it's made for you."
I smiled and I guess she was right. It was beautiful, I was beautiful.
"I'm taking it."
We paid and went to drink on some café. This trip was all my money of the last four months and a bit more, but it was worth it.
"Watch my stuff, I have to go use the bathroom", Alli said and I started smiling. "Maybe you shouldn't drink so much coffee, it runs right through you haha."
While Alli was gone I texted Eli about tonight and how I would come back tomorrow, though he was still in New York. All of a sudden Alli's phone started to go off and I looked at her phone.
It was Mike Dallas.
Can't wait 'til you're back, foxy lady. Maybe some skinny dipping instead of ruining our underwear next time ;)?
I put her phone back and waited for her to come back. I couldn't tell her I looked at her phone, but it was hard not to mention it. She and Dallas was the last I'd expected.
"Alli, someone texted you, maybe you should check." She did and started blushing.
"Who's it and why are you blushing?", I asked with my best acting skills.
"Uhm no one, not important it was Sav."
"Come on Alli you're blushing. Who was it?"
"Mike Dallas, I talked to him while you were dealing with Asher and yeah some stuff happened."
I never realize how my problems had affected Alli. But Mike had changed in a positive way I guess, he wasn't the guy of the party anymore at least.
"Alli and Dallas are sitting in a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G", I joked and she started to blush again.
"You actually like him? Well, you first to introduce him properly to me so I can give you permission", I said.
"Yes mom, now let's pay and start preparing for tonight." We laughed and left.
That evening Alli and I walked to the restaurant together with Connor and Jenna. Since the incident we always went with Connor in the evening. He could at least try to protect us.
We entered and everyone was looking at us.
All of a sudden we saw some niner throwing red wine over a dress of another niner. They got in a fight and we had to almost tore them apart. Alli went with the girl to fix up her dress and I sat down with the other girl.
"Okay, everyone could see you did it on purpose. Why?"
"She stole my boyfriend." I rolled my eyes.
"See her?", I pointed at Jenna, "She stole my first boyfriend and I never did this stuff no matter what happened, it's childish and you should stand above it."
The rest of the evening was quiet and after diner Alli and I packed our bags.
"I can't wait to be back, although I'm going to miss this place", Alli sighed and I couldn't agree more. The next day we left around noon and arrived around noon, Canadian time.
Eli's POV
I knew Clare's plane had just landed and she was safe in the boarders of Canada again. I couldn't wait until I was back either. It was awful with Clare so far away, but this wouldn't make it easier at all. I had to wait for another week before going back, and I already went back earlier than expected.
I'd explained Brett Barnett the situation with my girlfriend and he told me to leave a week early.
My phone ringed and I saw a picture of Clare.
"Bonjour madame", I said, "safe and sound back at home I hope."
"Yeah, only missing a leg and an arm so it could've been worse."
"I hope your left arm."
"Why?", she asked. I wasn't sure if she was being oblivious or just acted that way.
"Well, it would be a shame if you lost your right arm as a righty."
"EWWW, seriously Eli? That's the first thing you think about, you're such a perv."
"You know what they say about men. And it's even worse if your girlfriend is as beautiful as mine, then it's hard to be without her."
"How do you do that every time? You say something dirty and knows to put it in such way that I start to blush, not fair."
"I just know your weak spot Edwards. But I got to go, still at the set and Brett is probably wonering if I had to pluck the coffee beans by now. I love you, talk to you tonight."
"I hope I'm still awake then, stupid jet lag. Love you too."
I picked up a new coffee and went to Brett.
"Sorry it took me so long sir, my girlfriend didn't think I was working and wanted to let me know she arrived in Canada, so I was distracted for a moment."
"No problem son, I can see it was important for you and this coffee-", he took a zip, "makes up for everything."
I smiled and went back to help with the actresses until Brett called me.
"Is there something I can do sir?"
"Well, I want to give you the opportunity to get some real experience, and since one of the actors is ill, I want you to take over his part. You're waiter number 1."
My eyes grew big. Of course my big dream is director, but some field experience isn't bad either.
"Thank you sir, you won't regret it. Not even for a second."
"Well, prove that to me, go to the dressing room and show me you can doe more than making amazing coffee and helping around a bit. Maybe if you do well, I can give you another assignment."
So there I was, dressed like a waiter in the movie. It was a minor role, but I got to talk and act a bit and Brett seemed impressed by the speed I followed his points and how quickly I knew the lines.
I think this was one of the best days ever.
