City of Love
Nudge's Point of View;
"BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!" I pulled my head out from under the pillow to investigate where that loud beeping thing was coming from. The alram clock was rattling on the nightstand, it read 7:30 am.
I groaned, I've only.. never woken up this early. "Max!" I squeaked, "Come turn this off for me!" Too comfortable to reach over to turn it off myself. "Do it your self." Max mumbled, barely heard over this loud beeping.
I sat up and picked up the alarm clock. I shook it every which way, and pushed all the buttons. Nothing was turning it off, it only seemed to be getting louder. "Max!" I said more urgently. "This isn't turning off!"
She stood up, pounded her way over to my bed, and ripped the cord out from the wall. The beeping stopped, no longer being connected to power.
"Oh." I said, smiling. "Well thanks Max. You know, that probably would've been beeping for a lot longer if it wasn't for you. You're like.. a Gaurdian Angel! Those help people, right? You could totally be-"
Max cut her off with a stern look. "Nudge," Max said sweetly, "Shut up." The sweet smile gone, replacing it was a death glare. She plopped back down on her pillow, snoring instantly.
"I was just saying." I said, whispering. I layed back down to try and get some sleep. Waking up at this hour was definitely not good for my hair.
- 11:00 am. -
"I'll take this one, and this one, oh! How could I live without these?" I said, picking up all the different colord shoes.
I brought them to the register so the clerk could ring them up. She ran each shoe price tag under the beeping machine, with each beep I smiled.
"Nudge?" The clerk said, smiling. "Yes?" I said back, matching her smile. "Wake up."
I bolted upright in my bed, surprised to see Max standing there, ready to spray me with a spray bottle. I pointed to the deadly weapon in her hand.
"What do you think you were going to do with that?" I said, scooting further away from her. "Oh, this little thing? Uhm. Nothing." She said smiling, hiding it behind her back.
I gasped. "You were planning on spraying me? Max! Why would you do such a thing!" I said, out of breath from saying that sentense so fast. "Hey, hey. Calm down." She said, putting the spray bottle on the table.
"I needed revenge from you waking me up at 7:30 in the morning. A spray bottle sounded like a good idea at the time." She said, patting me on the head.
I crossed my arms and stook my tongue out at her. "You're a meany." I said. Max chuckled, "You love me anyways. So, get dressed! We're going out for breakfast, and then sight seeing!" She said, getting excited.
"Don't forget about dress shopping!" Ella squealed from the bathroom.
That was one thing Max loved, sight seeing. I don't get it, I mean, if there aren't any shoes I could buy or new clothes to try on, why must you sight see? I mean, it's really pointless. Really. But, dress shopping is another thing all together.
I got up and crawled to my suitcase. "What to wear, what to wear." I said in a singsong voice. I picked out a white lacy tanktop, a bright orange boatneck top, and some denim shorts. I looked at the shorts for a minute, trying to remember if it was insanely hot in Paris or cold.
"Hey, Max! What's the temperature supposed to be today? I'd love to wear these shorts. I mean, they look great on me, but what if it get's chilly? Maybe I should bring a jacket? Oh! Maybe-"
Max opened the door and said "80 degrees, Nudge." And slammed the door. Not even letting me finish my thought! That was just rude. She acts as if I talk to much. Hah.
I got dressed and made my way to the bathroom Ella was in. "Ella! I'm coming in. You better not be naked!" I said, opening the door and letting myself in.
She was looking in the mirror and pulling her skin in painful directions. I stopped at the sight, and gaver her a questioning raise of my eyebrow.
"What?" She said defensively, "My pores can't take this dramatic weather change! I feel a pimple coming. Any day, now. Just wait and see." She said, panicking.
"We'll look for some 'dramatic weather change pimple' syrum when we go out today. You'll be fine darling face!" I said grabbing her face and shaking it back and forth.
I let her go and grabbed my purple tooth brush. I started brushing furiously, scrubbing my teeth to keep them nice and white.
I rinsed my mouth out with water, put my tooth brush back and ran out of the bathroom to grab my purse. "Hey! People, hurry up! I'm hungry. Let's eat!" I said, stretching out the 'eat'. Max emerged from the bathroom, as well as Ella.
Ella grabbed her purse and Max grabbed money and stuffed it in her back pocket. "Maxiepoo, you could always buy a purse." I said, knowing she hates to be called Maxiepoo.
"Nudge, I don't need a purse. The system I have works just fine." She said, walking quickly down the hallway. "Finefinefine. But you're buying breakfast." I said, smiling sweetly as she glared at me.
- 12:30 pm. -
"Man, i'm stuffed!" I said, no longer hungry. The three of us stared at our empty plates, waiting for the bill. I took a sip of lemonade and looked around. It was a cute, tiny little place.
It was called 'Le petit coin'. Something in French. "What is this place called in English." I asked to no one inparticular. "I think it means The Tiny Corner." Max said. I raised an eyebrow in her direction "You know French?" I said.
Max and I know everything about eachother, it was weird not knowing a tiny thing like that. "A little bit, yeah." She said with a small shrug of her shoulders.
Max and I have known each other since we were little. Her mom and mine were best friends. When Max's mom left her, and her dad shut himself down, Max needed someone.
I was her only option. We'd stay up late every night, telling secrets. Sometimes laughing our butts off, other times crying.
I was the only one she could cry infront of, and she was the only one that I could count on to have my back. It was a best friend thing, I guess.
"What's next?!" Ella said, her squeaky voice bringing me out of my daydream. "Let's go to the Effel Tower!" I said, getting a feel for this sight seeing thing. It's actually kinda fun.
Max paid the bill and left a tip on the tabel on our way out. We made our way down the busy streets. It was a wonderful day out, clear sky and everything.
We reached the Effel Tower and all three of us looked up in surprise. "I wasn't expecting it to be so big." Ella said, still staring. "It's huge." I said in awe. "Let's get closer!" Max said, clearly excited. I saw a carmal apple stand on our way over. Where'd it go?
Aha! There it is. "Hey guy's, i'm going to go get a carmel apple, i'll catch up with you." I said in a hurry before the line got any longer. They walked off and I rushed over to the line.
I ordered my apple and gave the man a dollar. I stood by a fountain waiting, when out of no where I was pushed in. I reserfaced and looked around the area for the person who pushed me in.
Directly infront of me was standing a very tall guy, with short strawberry blonde hair. He was smiling down at me, offering his hand. "Terribly sorry, miss."
I looked at his hand and smiled. I grabbed it and pulled back, causing him to lurch forward and fall in with a big splash! As well. He reserfaced spitting water out of his mouth like a dolphin.
"And what in the world was that for!" He said, smiling. "You pushed me in, so i just returned the favor." I said, smiling sweetly. He out stretched his hand again. "I'm Iggy, and you are?" I giggled and took his hand "Nudge." I said, laughing.
"Not that this isn't lovely and all, but it's quite chilly. Mind if we got out?" He said, glancing my way. I nodded and he helped me up and out of the fountain. We walked to a near by bench, and sat down.
"You don't look like you're from around here." He said, clearly hoping i'd carry on the conversation. "Nope, i'm from The States." I said, smiling. "Only here for 7 more days, sadly." He frowned a little at this.
"Well, do you happen to have a date to the ball tomorrow evening?" He said, his eyes hopeful. "I surely don't. Do you happen to be going with anyone?" I said, matching his elegant tone of voice.
He chuckled at himself. "It just so happens I don't have one either." He said, scratching the back of his neck. He looked nervous. God, why was it so adorable when men are nervous?
"I'll be happy to go with you." I said softly. Realizing too late that he may not have been refering to me. Maybe he saw me with Ella and Max and was planning to ask one of them.
Oh no. My eyes got wide with embarrassment. "I mean, if you want to. Only if. And if you were only going to ask me. If not, well, uhm. That's okay too. I mean, uhm.." I said, rambling from being embarrassed.
"No, no, no! I was going to ask you. You seem like a lovely girl." He said. I blushed at this "Well, thank you. Yes. I'd love to go with you." I said shyly.
"Splendid!" He said, standing up. He put out his arm and I stood up to take it. "Oh! Wait!" I said, I rushed over to the carmel apple stand to recieve the apple I bought.
The man looked at me impatiently. He handed it to me, clearly having to hold back the urge to throw it on the ground. "Merci!" I said, smiling.
I walked back over to Iggy and took his arm. I looked up at his light green eyes and he looked down at me with a smile that i'm sure he only gave to a few people.
- 4:00 pm. -
"Nudge! Where have you been!" Max and Ella came running over to where I was with Iggy. We were in a small park, with lots of green grass and kids playing on the playground.
Sitting on a nice red and white patched blanket, eating a picnik. "Oh, hey guys!" I said, standing up and brushing my shorts off.
"What's up?" Max and Ella both gawked at me. "What's up? What's up! Nudge! We've been looking for you for hours!" Max said in a rush, clearly stressed.
"Oh, don't worry about me! Iggy here has been quite lovely, making sure I'd be home soon and everything." I said smiling. I was in a wonderful mood.
Max sighed. "Well, we have to go dress shopping. Did you want to bring your friend.. Uhm." "Iggy." Iggy said, standing up. "Nice to meet you, Max. Ella." He said, bowing his head. I glanced his way and gave him a big smile. He's such a gentlemen!
"Yes, I would love to go with you ladies." He said, putting out his arm for me to take it. Ella walked up next to me, "Where'd you find him?" She whispered, smiling and staring.
"I'll tell you later." I whispered back. "It's a long story." I said, looking up to stare at him only to see he was already staring.
That's the end of chapter four! Please review! Reviewing lifts my spirits and get's me more excited for the next chapter. It's be lovely if y'all could let me know what you thought of it! (Sorry for making it not as long!)
