After what felt like an eternity or being cramped up in a plane next to my parents, we finally arrived. I don't know what I was expecting to see when I arrived in France, I assumed that I might look a bit different but it looked pretty much the same as Wickenridge, except most the signs were in French.

'Damn, I wish I paid more attention in French class' complained Xav as he tried to work out how much it was to hire some cars

We were all knackered from the plane journey so we checked into the nearest hotel. After showering and unpacking, the tiredness took its toll and I fell asleep with ease.

In the morning, after spending ages carefully choosing my outfit with the help of Crystal, we finally decided on a cute top, shorts and patterned tights. Crystal does my hair by platting the front strands and pinning them to the side of my head to expose my face. After priming and primping, I was ready. My mum and dad insisted on coming with me to Gabe's house encase a sociopath criminal lived there. I objected and told them it would be embarrassing if I had my parents cart me around. We finally agreed that they would drive me and wait in the car until I give them a signal to tell let them know I was safe.

I walked up the driveway to Gabe's spectacular house. I was a little nervous but I didn't know why. I rung the doorbell and only seconds after, the door flew open and Gabe stood in the doorway.

'Gabe!' I say and his pulls me in for a hug

'You can go now, no sociopaths here' I tell my parents

'Come in; let me take your jacket.' Said Gabe, welcoming me into his home

'You have a beautiful house.' I tell him, taking in the stunning spiral staircase and chandelier.

'Thanks, it's a bit lonely though, my dad's always away on business.'

'Try living a week in my house, give it a few days and you'll be begging to be home alone.' I laugh

'You know, you are so beautiful.' He blushes. 'Sorry, I didn't mean to say that out loud.'

'No, don't be sorry!' I tell him 'Anyway, you not so bad looking yourself either' I say and wink at him.

Gabriel laughs.

Not bad looking? He was flipping gorgeous! I thought to myself.

'You're too kind' now it was my turn to blush as I realised he heard my thoughts.

'Why don't I give you a tour of the house then?' Gabe askes me.

'Yeah that would be great' I say

It takes at least half an hour to do a full tour of the house, It would have probably have taken shorter but I kept getting distracted by all the cool things in his house. He had a remote which opens and closes the curtains for goodness sake!

'And this is my bedroom' Said Gabe reaching the last room on the tour.

The first thing that I noticed was that his room was tidy, like spotless! His walls were painted light blue and he had a gigantic window with a beautiful view of the seaside I visited in my dream.

'Wow… you get to wake up to this every morning!' I say looking out through his window.

'Yeah it is pretty spectacular' Said Gabe, agreeing

'Ohh, before I forget, I have something for you, Rory.' Said Gabe, handing me a small box.

'A present?' I ask delighted

'Yeah, well it's kind of like a late Valentine's Day gift.' Said Gabe looking a bit embarrassed

I open the box and it's a beautiful necklace, the pendant is a silver butterfly on a silver chain.

'I love it Gabe! It's beautiful, thanks so much! I feel bad though because I didn't get you anything.'

'Just you being here is a good enough present.'

I put my arms around his neck and bring his lips to mine. His lips are soft and gentle against mine; I run my fingers through his hair. He puts one hand on the small of my back, his warm hand against my skin, and the other cupping my neck, deepening the kiss. His tongue slides into my mouth and I gasp into his. After a while we both pull apart breathing heavily. I rest my head against his chest and he holds me tightly to his body.

'Now that was a great present' said Gabe, laughing.

After a few more kisses, Gabe turns on the Wii and challenges me to a game of Mario kart. Normally I get quite competitive from living in a house of boys but I didn't mind losing to Gabe, especially when he gives kisses like that.

'You should invite your family round for dinner, Rora. I'd love to meet them. Plus, we have plenty of food in the house.' Gabe tells me after the 4th race he beats me at.

'You don't know what you're saying, they might scare you off.' I say crossing my arms over my chest.

'Nothing could scare me off, I'm yours forever.' Says Gabe 'and anyway, they can't be that bad'

'Oh really…' I say raising my eyebrows.
