Chapter 10
Matt had every second of their trip planned. They went to places that Alex never would have thought of going to and some normal tourist attractions as well. Over the next 3 days they ate at fancy restaurants and went to places like Musee du Louvre, Musee Rodin, and Arc de Triomphe (where they shopped in the stores down that street). On their final day Alex had thought they had gone almost everywhere and didn't know what else Matt could have planned. Alex rolls over on the bed and snuggles up to Matt who was still sleeping. She rests her head on his shoulder. Her curls tickle is face and wake him up.
"Good morning Mrs. Smith." He says with a sleepy smile.
"You enjoy saying that way too much." She says lifting her head to look at him, her hand lying on his exposed chest. Their faces were extremely close and Alex looked from Matt's eyes to his lips.
"Ah! But you enjoy it just as much!"
"Oh do I?" she teases.
Matt smiles and snakes his hand up to the back of her head, tangling in her curls and pulling her face down to his. Their lips meet and Alex melts onto him. She breaks away smiling.
"How do you do that?" she asks resting her head on his chest.
"Kiss? I thought you knew considering how good you are at it. Do I need to explain how humans reproduce to you sweetie?" He teases. She slaps her hand down on his chest and laughs.
"No! I'm older than you so I think I know more. What I meant was how do you make every kiss feel like our first? Every time we kiss I get butterflies in my stomach."
"I should ask you the same question Kingston… wait. I can't call you that anymore." He says with a laugh. "I feel the same way when we kiss." He says as he places his hand on her bare shoulder.
"What are your plans for us today?" she asks sitting up and pulling the sheet up around her at the same time. Matt sits up as well.
"Oh spoilers!" he says leaning in to kiss her again. He grabs ahold of the sheet and pulls it off. Alex squeals and covers herself. Matt laughs watching how she pulls her legs up to her chest.
"I thought you didn't mind showing off your body?" he says kissing her cheek and then down to her neck.
"Oh I don't it's just bloody freezing in here." She practically purrs as she lowers her legs and grabs ahold of the hair on the back of Matt's head. He slowly moves his hand over her body making her sigh. She pulls his head off her neck and up to her face kissing him with an opened mouth. His hand slides down between her legs making her break away and gasp. He pulls his hand away and cups one of her breasts kissing her collarbone.
"You tease me so much." She breaths as she pushes him away. "What are we doing today? When is our plane leaving? You haven't told me anything and don't you dare say spoilers. I just might smack you. You have been saying it the whole trip. That is my line. Stop using it." she says crossing her arms.
"We are doing this for now." He says with a naughty smile as his kisses her shoulder.
"Matt. Seriously. I want to know when we are going home."
Matt sighs. "A little after lunch."
"That doesn't give us much time to do anything. Didn't you say yesterday that we still had something to do?"
"Yes. We are going to pack and put our things in the rental so that if we run over time we don't have to worry about coming back here."
"Alright. I need to call your mother. I feel terrible that I haven't called to check up on Ella. Surprisingly I haven't even got one text from Salome, let alone a call." Says Alex getting up and wondering around the room. Matt smirks and watches her.
"What are you looking at?" she asks with a smirk knowing perfectly well what he was looking at.
"You will never find it."
"Matt. Where did you put my robe?" she says in a serious tone.
He just sits there smirking at her.
"Give me my robe back." She looks around her and suddenly realizes her bag is gone. "Where is my bag? Where are all my clothes?!" She franticly walks around the room finding none of her things. Matt just sits there smirking at her. "Matt! Where are all my things?!"
"I hid them." He says with a proud smile.
"Matthew Robert Smith you give me my clothes back! How can I go out with no clothes?! I can't even walk out of this room now because of the whole glass window in the sitting room!"
"Yes mummy! I'm so sorry! I'll never do it again!" he says in a teasing tone.
Alex takes a deep breath. "If you don't give me my things right now you will never see me naked or sleep with me again for the rest of our marriage."
"Ah, but you are already naked."
"I can always call down to the desk and ask for an extra robe." She says crossing her arms. "You are never going to be allowed to touch me again. Do you understand what you are losing?"
"Fine. I give up. Your bag and everything is on the table in the sitting room."
Alex stands there for a minute. "Are you going to get them for me?"
Matt smirks. "Nope."
Alex climbs up on the bed and straddles Matt, kissing him slow and passionately. She pulls away smiling. "How about now sweetie?"
"Hmmm. I don't know."
She puts her face close to his and rocks her hips over him, biting her lip seductively. "Please sweetheart." She breaths before kissing him lightly on the lips.
"Oh fine." He pulls her into a harder kiss. "In a minute." He says putting his hands on her hips trying to get her closer. She jumps off of him.
"Nope I want it all in here now."
Matt groans and rolls out of bed. Alex sees he is wearing boxers with little pink hearts on them. She laughs to herself.
"Better not be laughing at my boxers!" he yells as he leaves the room.
"Oh no dear. I've seen worse." She says getting off the bed as he walks back in. "I don't need to be really dressy today do I?"
"No. Just wear what you were going to wear on the plane."
Alex ends up wearing jeans and a dressy top along with her converse that Matt had bought her just before their wedding and honeymoon. She tries to tame her curls but gives up and ends up pulling her hair back into a ponytail. She puts the heart necklace that Salome got her on as well as the charm bracelet Matt had got her. She packs her things and then takes her bag out into the sitting room were Matt was waiting with his.
"You are wearing the charm bracelet!"
"I always wear it sweetheart. Are you just now noticing?" she says as she walks up to him and gets extremely close. Matt's face turns red.
"I guess I am." He says. He tries to pull her into a kiss but she backs away.
"Nope! I haven't forgiven you! You are grounded from my kisses!"
"What about other things?" he asks stepping towards her.
"No. No sex either." She says with a smirk. "Oh how will you survive?" she teases. He lunges at her but she runs away and around the couch with a wide smile on her face. "Come on sweetie. You are just being childish now."
He runs around one side of the couch but she runs away and they just end up trading places.
"I will catch you." He says.
"Oh I don't think so."
He jumps over the couch and runs at her. She is caught off guard not thinking he would come over the couch and attempts to run. He grabs her waist and pulls her to him, both of them laughing. He wraps his arms around her waist and lowers his head to speak into her ear.
"Got you." He whispers.
"I see." She says. "Shouldn't we be leaving?"
"Yes we should. Come on." He grabs his bag and starts for the door. Alex grabs hers and follows. In the lobby when Matt is checking them out Alex gets run into.
"Whoa!" she says as she loses her balance and grabs on to the counter next to her to hold herself up.
"Pardonne moi! Oh! It's you!" says the person who ran into her. It was Lea from the plane.
"Salut sweetie!"
Lea's eyes get wide and she smiles, obviously excited that Alex had used the informal way to say hi as if they were friends. "Salut! I'm sorry. I didn't mean to run into you. Are you leaving?" she asks looking down at the bag.
"It's alright. If it would have been someone else maybe I would have been less forgiving." She says with a wink. "I am sadly."
"Oh." She says sounding disappointed. "I showed my friends the picture that we took on the plane. They were very jealous." She says with a big smile.
"Where they?"
"Oh yes! All my friends are big fans of Doctor Who! Um… I actually had the picture printed out so I could hang it on my wall back home. Do you think you could..?"
Alex laughs. "You want me to sign it?"
"Would you?"
"Of course. Let me find a pen or marker. I think I have one in my purse."
"I have a whole wall in my room that is just Doctor Who posters. I plan on framing this and putting it in the middle." Rambles Lea as she pulls the picture out of the sleeve. She had just got it printed out. Alex finds a marker at the bottom of her purse and takes the picture.
"Do you live close the airport we left to come here?" asks Alex as she writes. She writes:
Hello sweet Lea from the plane! Thank you for having such lovely conversations with me! Xoxo Alex Kingston
"Yeah kind of. Why?" she asks taking the picture back.
"Well I don't live far from it either. Maybe we will bump into each other again and you can meet my oldest daughter." She says with a wink. Lea's eyes get wide and her smile grows. Matt finally walks over.
"We are all set to leave. Hey! It's Lea!"
"You remembered my name!" squeaks Lea.
"Of course I did! Now I'm sorry to break up this conversation but we need to be off! Goodbye.. Er I mean Au Revoir!" he says the last part with terrible pronunciation. Alex laughs at him.
"Ignore his French sweetie. Au Revoir!"
Matt still refused to tell Alex were they were going. He parks the car and grabs a backpack from the back seat and then puts his arm over Alex's shoulders and guides her in the right direction. They stop walking right in front of the Eiffel Tower.
"Here we are! Come on." He grabs her hand and pulls her along. They stop and sit on a bench extremely close to the base of the Eiffel Tower. The tower made Alex feel extremely small.
"We are just having a relaxing picnic." he says unzipping the bag and first pulling out a bottle of wine (already opened from the night before) and two plastic cups.
"Don't you think it's a little early to drink?" asks Alex.
"There is only enough for one glass for each of us and I planned on giving you most of it since I am driving." He says as he pulls out two sandwiches that he had obviously made himself. He hands her a sandwich and then pours their drinks. They eat quietly just watching the people around them. It truly was relaxing for her. Just to sit and take in what was all around her. Alex takes the last bite of her sandwich when she looks over and sees a group of teens pointing at them. Alex swallows her bite and then smiles and waves at them. Matt turns to see who she is looking at. The group walks up to them and starts speaking in rapid French. Matt looks to Alex completely lost.
"They say they love you and that you are their favourite Doctor."
"Oh. Merci!"
Alex rolls her eyes and takes another sip of wine listening to what the teens say and then speaks back to them. After a while the question she had been waiting for finally pops up. She looks to Matt. "They want us to take a picture with them."
"Sure why not."
They stand up and take pictures then Matt looks at his watch. "We really need to go."
Alex turns to the teens and tells them they have to catch their plane and that it was nice meeting them. Matt packs everything up and they go back to the car.
