Thank you to Namiko of the Ocean, Bookwrm17, and Hazelocean for your reviews, you guys rock out loud. I'm so sorry for not updating, I know you're ready to throw rocks at me...please don't I bruise easily...lol
We arrived at the Lourve and finally got to go in. Granger seemed utterly impressed by the art around us. I was most looking forward to seeing the original Mona Lisa. Around 4 hours later we finally left. We decided to stop at Café de la Paix and get a bite to eat.
"Bienvenue à Café de la Paix. Mon nom est Bridgette et je suis votre serveur. Queest-ce que je ne peux pas obtenir pour vous?" (Welcome to Café de la Paix. My name is Bridgette and I am your server. What can't I get for you?)
"Pourrions-nous avoir un moment à décider?" (Could we have a moment to decide?)
"Naturellement monsieur. Signal juste pour moi quand vous êtes prêt." (Of course sir. Just signal for me when you are ready.)
"Granger they have Plain Butter, Ham and Swiss Cheese, Spinach and Feta, Apple Cinnamon, Raspberry, Almond, Chocolate Almond, Pear Almond, Apricot Almond, Apricot or pear couques, Coconut cream cheese with raspberry, or chocolate bread."
"What are these?"
"Croissants."
"Oh! I want a Apple Cinnamon."
"Okay." I signaled for Bridgett and she came over to our table.
"Queest-ce que je peux obtenir pour vous à monsieur" (What can I get for you Sir?)
"Elle voudrait un croissant de cannelle de pomme et je voudrais un croissant de pain de chocolat." (She would like one apple cinnamon croissant and I would like one chocolate bread croissant.)
"l'un ou l'autre de vous aiment quelque chose boire?" (Would either of you like something to drink?)
I turned to Granger. "Would you like something to drink?"
"Umm, coffee I guess."
I turned back to Bridgett. "Deux cafés satisfont." (Two coffees please.)
"Tout de suite monsieur." (Right away sir.)
We sat in silence trying to think of something to say. "Umm, Granger, did you like the museum?"
"Yes."
I frowned. "What was your favorite part?"
"When you kept staring at the Mona Lisa and I walked away."
"I'm trying to be civil here, and you are doing nothing to help."
"Why would I want to? So the perfect Malfoy can keep up his appearance."
"Granger you are really pushing it.", I half growled.
Her eyes narrowed. "Pushing what? What are you gonna do Malfoy? Hit me?"
My eyes widened. "Is that what you think of me? That I'd beat you? Granger what is wrong with you! I would never hit you!"
I sunk lower in my chair and sighed, that's when I noticed everyone around us staring. "What?" I yelled. Everyone turned and went back to their meals.
"Malfoy, I…"
"Granger, we should just sit in silence." I said with a cold voice.
She brought back that rude look to her face.
"Don't slouch dear…Malfoy's don't slouch.", she said in a mocking tone.
Right before I could say something Bridgette walked up and put our food on the table and walked away without saying a word.
"Great job Malfoy, you've scared our waitress, do you want to scare all of France too?"
"Granger, shut up."
We soon left Café de la Paix and went back to our hotel.
We hadn't spoken to each other since we left the Café and now we've been here for 20 minutes. She is reading a book again and I have been thinking.
"I refuse to raise our child in this environment."
"What environment?", she asked in a snotty tone, still reading her book.
I reached out and grabbed her book away from her and put in on the bed next to me.
"The one were we hate each other. I know you didn't get the wedding of your dreams with the man of your dreams at the end of the aisle waiting for you, but damn it Granger, we have to make this work. Once all of the war stuff dies down we will be the biggest news because we will have our first child, we can't be angry at each other, that's not fair to us or our child. We will be invited to many parties and balls and we have to be presentable, Malfoys always are. I know this isn't you right now, you're much more nicer than this. I've seen you with Potter and Weasley, everyone is smiles and happiness, I want that for my child, since I never had it. And I'll be damned if my child can't have it because his mother is pissed off because she didn't get a fantasy that most people never get!" I got up and walked out of the hotel room leaving Granger. I don't know where I'm going but I have to get away from her for right now, my temper and mind can't take it.
