I would like to apologize for the long wait and the shortness. I've just been having massive writer's block with almost all of my stories. I am going to try to get back into the habit of writing and updating.

Gabe's Surprise

With that familiar tug her in stomach, Melanie felt herself being teleported elsewhere. She kept her eyes closed; not wanting to see what Gabe considered a surprise at this point. It was never good.

"Come on sweetheart. I promise you'll like this one."

"That's what you said the last time. Then I opened my eyes and the room was filled with strippers!"

"But that's what you wanted for your birthday!"

"I wanted male strippers. Male."

"Oh. Well I promise there are no strippers here. Just open your damn eyes or I'll make you."

Melanie tentatively opened her left eye. The room looked pretty normal. Like every other high end hotel Gabe dragged her to. She opened her other eye and looked around the room. There was nothing special at all about it.

"It's another fancy hotel room. How is this a surprise?"

Gabe sighed and rolled his eyes. "Look out the window love. Really. That time with the Winchesters has really rotted your brain."

Mel gave him a small slap on the back of the head before she walked over to the window. She pulled back the curtains and looked out to see the Eiffel Tower in her view. Her jaw immediately dropped. He usually stuck to the US when he dragged her anywhere.

"Surprise! Told ya you'd like it."

Mel didn't know what to say. She just stared out the window taking in the sights of Paris. She didn't notice that Gabe was standing right behind her.

"Wanna go explore?"

She jumped as he spoke. He was literally right behind her ear. She turned around and was face to face with her archangel. She took a deep breath and regained herself. Why the hell was she acting like this around Gabriel?

"Of course! I expect you to take me to all of the awesome places."

Gabriel grinned. "Have I ever done anything less?" Mel was about to answer when he stopped her. "Don't answer that."

She laughed and shook her head. "Fine. So…do I need to change or is this fine?" She looked down at her very worn in pair of jeans and the t-shirt with holes in the bottom.

"That's fine. It's not like I'm gonna take you to a five star restaurant. That's what I have planned for tomorrow." He put his arm out for her. "Shall we?"

"We shall." Mel giggled as she looped her arm through Gabriel's.
