I held his hand tightly. I didn't want Francis. I wanted Yao. Yao and I are so close. The past didn't matter to me now. I just wanted to cherish this time I had with him.

"Yao?" He looked at me, "Yes?" He answered. I giggled. "I don't know. I just love your name. It really suits you, you know." Yao looked sort of confused but smiled at me. My stomach rumbled. That's right! We hadn't even eaten anything besides airline snacks today. Boy, was I famished. "Yao, are you hungry?" I looked over at him and he was practically drooling over some food he saw being prepared at a French restaurant. I couldn't help but laugh!

We were seated into a restaurant which was really expensive, looking at the aged wines around us, and the people dressed in the fanciest clothes ever. I spoke fluent French to the waitress, who looked very shocked. I snickered. Well of course, did they not know that many Vietnamese can speak French?

Yao looked puzzled with my conversation with the waitress. She looked very pleased to have someone to converse with. She said she had to go do something, and I said goodbye. I looked at Yao, who looked as confused as ever. "Oh, Yao. You should learn this language! You know Mandarin, Cantonese, English, Japanese and some Vietnamese. That's not enough!" I joked to him. He rolled his eyes, and kissed my cheek.

We waited in silence while we waited for our food. It wasn't long until it arrived; delicious French cuisine. I ate as fast and politely as I could, and Yao was surprisingly good with it. Eating this food reminded me of my past.. Nevermind that. Focus on the present.

We finished our food, and the waitress wouldn't allow me to pay. She said that I was a delight to have as a customer. She only allowed me to give her a tip. I walked out of the restaurant with Yao and Lin Lin in his sack.

I looked into the distance and saw the Eiffel Tower. I glanced at Yao and he smiled at me, catching my eyes. I blushed, and we went ahead and walked.

I was used to walking long distances since cars are expensive in my land, and plus I only own a motorcycle. (If you go to Vietnam, the majority of the vehicles are motorcycles!) Yao was used to it as well, but I could tell that he was getting a tad bit tired. We were holding hands, and I could see him gawking at the scenery. He's so cute..

We were on the famous ledge of the Eiffel Tower. You know, the place where movies show lovers having a romantic dinner at night and having their date! I thought dreamily of a date like that with Yao. Hey, a girl can dream if she wishes!

It was getting darker, and we could see the sun set. Lin Lin was chomping on a pastry which Yao had bought at a bakery. He had ran so fast when she was whimpering. It was weird how he could sense when she was hungry or not. (But then I remembered that he was the expert of pandas.)

I looked at Yao. It was weird. I was no longer afraid of his gaze, nor him. I used to be so afraid of the thought of him being near me. I wonder why?

Yao returned my gaze, and his eyes were absolutely mesmerizing. They were a light brown with honey brown specks. The specks shimmered in the now dimming light, and I could feel myself getting drawn closer to him. Before I knew it, I was closing my eyes and feeling his lips caress mine. He wrapped his arms around me and pulled me close to him. I could hear his heart thumping in his chest, which meant that he must be nervous. I broke away from the kiss, wrapping my arms around him and feeling his warmth. I wished that we could stay like this way forever.

We let go of each other, and I blushed when I saw his face tinted pink. He is so adorable! I yawned, and now we were in the darkness. The town was still bustling with life, and we could see the lights still lit up everywhere. I was getting tired, however. "Yao, do you want to go to a hotel now?" I blushed at what I had just said. Yao smirked and winked at me. "Okay, Lien, if that's what you want." "I-idiot! That's not what I meant!" He laughed and I couldn't help but giggle.
