Honeymoon in Paris - by JoolsFan
PG-13... for obvious reasons (I mean, it's a HONEYMOON story!)
In Victor/Victoria (great Julie-movie!) Julie's character Victoria and her friend Toddy are staying at the Monceau hotel in Paris. No idea if it's a real hotel but they make it sound (and look) classy and the movie is set in the same time frame... so I thought I'd steal the name.
Chapter 1
The sun was high up in the sky, sparkling off the dome of the Sacré Coeur, and setting al the other sights of Paris in a glorious golden light. Despite nature's best efforts to tempt the occupants to come outside, the curtains of the honeymoon suite at the Monceau Hôtel were still closed. Only a small ray of sunlight managed to peak through an opening in the curtains, landing on the large bed, where two shapes could be made out under the sheets, their heads resting close together on one pillow.
"Georg?" Maria's voice sounded lazy, relaxed.
"Mmmmm....." Georg answered, as languidly as his wife.
"What do you want to do about lunch?"
"Well.... what we did for breakfast seems just fine to me."
Maria smiled. "Ah.. me too.... but.... I'm hungry, I'd like to have some actual food...."
This made Georg look up in mock surprise. "You mean I cannot satisfy you?"
Maria's cheeks coloured slightly. She enjoyed this playful, sexy banter as much as Georg, but she couldn't help blushing occasionally - which only made her more desirable in his eyes.
"More than anything, darling. Every part of me.. except for my stomach." She giggled and kissed him playfully on the nose.
"Mmm, I bet I can take care of that as well," he joked, and pulling the sheets over their heads completely, he hugged her to him in a tight embrace and smothered her giggles with kisses.
****
A while later - let's not be so crass as to say how much later, exactly - Georg and Maria emerged out of their suite, dressed and freshened up, to go downstairs for lunch. As Georg closed the door behind him, he noticed the 'Do Not Disturb" sign which hung from the doorknob. "Do you think we can safely remove this," he asked Maria with a twinkle in his eyes.
She nodded. "Just don't lose it... we'll be needing it again," she replied with a straight face. Georg grinned, and hung the sign on the inside of the door.
When a maid saw them walk past and noticed that the sign was gone from their door, she shook her head in wonder. Newlyweds.. The "Do Not Disturb" sign had hung on the doorknob for three days straight. Quickly, she took her chance, and let herself into the room to change the towels and bed before the occupants would be back.
While waiting for their lunch to arrive, Maria asked: "Should we go out this afternoon? After all, we ARE in Paris. .." Georg raised an eyebrow at her. "We are? I hadn't noticed..." They smiled together, shortly lost in each other's eyes.
Then, he turned serious. "Yes, I think we should. There are many things here I want to show you, Maria."
"I'm looking forward to it. Not that I haven't enjoyed our honeymoon so far, darling, but I would really love to see the view from the Eiffel Tower."
They shared a chuckle again, and Georg took Maria's hand in his. He lifted her hand to his face and pressed his lips to her fingers. "No view can beat the one I have at this very moment," he whispered at her. Their gaze locked and they remained sitting very closely, until a waiter brought their food and the spell was temporarily broken.

Okay, so that's a first chapter for a honeymoon fic... But now I'm stuck. I've actually been to Paris myself, and even though it's very pretty, I can't imagine what would be keeping Georg and Maria there for 'over a month'. (Well I CAN, actually, but they don't allow NC-17 fiction on ff.net, LOL, and DisneyLand Paris didn't exist in the 1930's.) Besides, even if I would be describing them visiting all the sites, this fic would end up reading like a travel brochure, which you can all pick up at your local travel agent, so there's no need for me to write it.
So guys, help me out here.
WHAT were they DOING there all the time? What's the STORY?? Help would be appreciated.
Thanks! JoolsFan
