Bruce woke up to see Selina lying next to him fast asleep. For a second he thought maybe this was just some wonderful dream. But it no it was real, they were a real couple and they were going to Paris, the city of love. Even though it had been two months he still wasn't completely used to it; this feeling of happiness. Bruce watched her sleep. It had been so long since he had someone in bed with him lying next to him he forgot how good it felt. He cuddled up to her and put his arms around her. He didn't' want to wake her but he just needed to-wanted to-hold her for a little while.
"Good morning" she said sleepily.
"Morning." He said
She cuddled up to him and soon enough both of them were fast asleep.
They both woke up at approximately the same time.
"Morning handsome."
"I think we covered that already." Bruce grinned
Selina smiled and they kissed. They lay in each other's arms for a while neither one of them wanting to move or let go of the other one until Alfred came in with a tray of food.
"Good morning Sir. Miss Kyle."
"Good morning Alfred"
"I took the liberty of bringing up breakfast sir."
"Thank you Alfred"
"Remember sir you have a lunch meeting and a phone conference before your flight to Paris at 7 pm tonight."
"Yes Alfred I remember." Bruce said grumpily. He didn't want to be in meetings all day he wanted to spend the day in bed with Selina.
"I'd better get going too." Selina said "I have so much stuff to do before we leave tonight."
"You're not even going to stay for breakfast?" Bruce said disappointed
"I'd love to but I can't-shouldn't-she said pulling away from him. He pulled her back to him and kissed her passionately. "Well maybe I could just stay for breakfast." She said and kissed him again.
"Ahem. If there is nothing else sir?"
"No thank you Alfred" Alfred turned to leave the room. "Oh sir, before I forget, would you like me to pack for your trip or would you like to do it yourself?"
Bruce thought a minute. "You better do it for me Alfred I don't think I will have time."
"Very good sir."
When Alfred left the room Bruce kissed Selina passionately.
"Now where were we?"
"We were about to eat breakfast."
"Breakfast can wait." He said
"It will get cold."
"I don't care."
"Well I do I am starving." She said as she pulled away from him.
Bruce sighed disappointed. "Fine we will eat breakfast."
"And after breakfast I have to go." Selina said
"Oh fine" Bruce said mock pouting
She kissed him. "I have a lot of stuff to do and besides you have a meeting."
"Yah you are right."
"Honey I am always right." She said smiling.
"Now let's eat."
After Selina left Bruce got dressed and went to his meetings. It seemed like it took forever for it to be 5:30 and time for them to leave for the airport. Selina was beyond excited. She couldn't stop chattering about all the things she wanted to do once she got to Paris on the way to the airport. When they got to the airport Selina gasped in excitement and awe. They were taking a private jet. She had never flown on a private jet before! She felt like a little child. Bruce smiled as he took her hand and led her onto the plane.
"It should take us about 7 hours to get to Paris sir." The pilot said.
"Mmm…what are we going to do for 7 hours?"
"I can think of a few things." Bruce said with a mischevious grin.
Selina sighed and rolled her eyes. "No we are not doing that. Geez are you always horny?"
"Only when I'm around you." He said
Selina laughed
"Alright well what would you like to do?"
"Can we watch a movie?"
"Sure."
"Ok."
3 movies and a game of cards later they were pulling into the airport in Paris.
"We are entering the airport sir." The pilot said.
"Thank you." Bruce said
They exited the plane got their luggage and stepped outside to the car that was waiting to take them to their hotel.
"Wow, I can't get over how beautiful it is." Selina said it was morning and the sun was shining brightly in the sky.
Bruce yawned as he got in the car neither of them had been able to sleep on the plane. "how about we go back to the hotel and get some shut eye?"
"Sounds good."
They went back to the hotel and slept until 3 pm Paris time. Bruce yawned and stretched and Selina yawned and stretched as well.
"Well that feels much better." Bruce said
"Yes it does." Selina said. "What should we do?"
"We could walk around the city and see what's open and then get a bite to eat. I know this great little place."
I'm sure you do. Selina thought. She still couldn't believe that she was here. She felt like she was dreaming. Somebody pinch me. She thought.
"That sounds great."
"Alright then"
They walked around the city taking in all the sights and all the cute little shops, most of which were closed. They spent the rest of the afternoon just enjoying the sights and each other. When they got hungry they went to this cute little French bistro that Bruce knew about; where Selina had the most delicious food she had ever tasted. They talked for hours and then they took a romantic horse and carriage ride around the city. The city looked even more spectacular at night she thought. When they got back to the hotel room she gave Bruce a deep kiss.
"Thank you so much. This was the most amazing day."
"Today will be even better. This was just the beginning. We have the conference dinner tonight but the day is all ours."
"I can't wait"
They began to kiss slowly at first and then deeper and deeper.
"I should unpack." She said
"Later" he said huskily.
"OK"
Selina was awake at 4 am. Damn! I've only been asleep for five hours. She thought. Bruce slumbered peacefully next to her. She got up out of bed, careful not to wake him, put her robe on and went to the window. It is so amazingly beautiful here she thought. She didn't ever want to leave; didn't ever want to go back home. Bruce was completely different here too she noticed. He was so much softer, so much kinder, then he was at home. It was incredible how a change of scenery could change someone so dramatically.
"Selina?" she heard a voice say
"Yes? Oh um…I couldn't sleep."
"Oh ok, come back to bed." He said patting the empty space next to him.
"I will in a minute."
"Ok" he said and rolled over to go back to sleep.
Selina sighed and took one last look at the city. Incredible she thought.
She climbed back into bed and cuddled up to Bruce who rolled over and put his arms around her and held her close. Pretty soon they were both asleep.
When they woke up in the morning they had room service bring them breakfast and ate it in bed. Then they showered and got ready for their day.
What do you want to do today? We don't have the conference until 7 so we should probably be back here to get ready by 5 or 5:30.
"I want to do everything."
"You know we have all day and night tomorrow too."
"Yah that's true. Well let's do as much as we can today."
"Ok"
They went to see Notre Dame Cathedral, the Arc de Triomphe and the Eiffel Tower as well as the Museum D'Orsay. They took the elevator up to the top of the Eiffel Tower as Selina refused to walk up all those stairs. They decided to save the Louvre for tomorrow. They walked in and out of store after store walking in and around all of the little side streets and just enjoying taking in the city. Then they had lunch at this cute little French café. After a while they found themselves on the Champs Elysee, the Rodeo Drive or 5th avenue of Paris.
Wow Selina thought. Look at all these ritzy stores. How can people possibly afford to buy anything here? People must be really rich in Paris.
"Let's go in here" Bruce said as he pulled her into a store.
She didn't realize what store it was at first until she all of the guards and expensive jewelry everywhere. That's when it started to click for her. She looked down at the floor and under her feet was the words "Cartier" Oh My God she thought. I'm in Cartier. She couldn't believe it everywhere she looked there she saw jewelry and each piece she saw was more beautiful than the next.
Bruce looked at her and smiled as he led her into the store towards one of the counters. She must have had a look of shock and awe on her face because the sales people were looking at her weird.
"Honey I want you to pick out something here. Anything you want and let me buy it for you."
"Bruce I-I can't it is too much. It's too expensive."
"Selina I have a lot of money and I like to spend it on the people I care about. Now go on pick something out."
"Are you sure anything?
"Yes"
She picked out a gorgeous bracelet laced with diamonds with a big circular emerald In the middle surrounded by rubies.
"Oh Bruce it is beautiful. Thank you so much." She said as she kissed him
"No problem you can wear it tonight at the party."
"Oh yes definetly!"
"That will be $350,000 Mr. Wayne"
Selina almost fainted.
"Alright do you take credit cards?"'
"Yes"
"Thank you very much."
"Thank you very much Mr. Wayne. Have a great day!"
"You too."
He looked at his watch "It is 4:30. We can walk a little bit more and then we should get back to the hotel to get changed."
"Ok"
So they walked a little bit more admiring all of the other stores and then they went back to the hotel to get changed and ready for the conference dinner that evening.
"You look amazing" Bruce said when Selina was finally ready.
"You don't look so bad yourself handsome." She said as she fixed his tie.
"How about we skip the dinner and just stay in bed this evening?"
"I thought you said it was vital to the company and besides isn't that the whole reason we came up here in the first place?"
"I know but I don't want to go."
"It won't be that bad I promise."
"Ok"
And she was right it wasn't that bad. In fact it was kind of cool. Bruce gave the key note speech about how much this would mean to the company and then he mingled with all of the glitterati, ate delicious French food, and danced the night away. The dinner went until midnight and then went home to their hotel. They were both dead tired however, before they fell asleep they planned their day tomorrow.
"We have the whole day tomorrow so we can do whatever you want."
"I would love to see the Louvre and go to the Eiffel Tower."
"And then what?"
"Whatever"
Bruce raised an eyebrow. "Really?"
"Yah we could just stroll around the city. I think it would be nice, and then we could stay in bed a little bit and hang out in the morning."
"That sounds wonderful."
"Is our plane tomorrow night?"
"No the next morning."
"Oh good so we really do have the whole day tomorrow."
"And night, for 'whatever'." Bruce said with a smirk
"I love you Bruce you are so cute sometimes."
"I love you too Selina"
"Goodnight"
"Goodnight" He said and they fell asleep in each other's arms.
