Mio's POV


Just to the point here.

I've got plenty of questions inside my head right now. I bet if you were me, you'll go through the same feelings. First of all, Ritsu was definitely responsible for letting me sleep until noon. Secondly, this four-tire vehicle parked in front of the lobby. THIRDLY, Ritsu just showed me the key for the car! I'm amazed, but also scared at the same time.

Part of me says, 'How can she afford such car?' and 'We're in PARIS for the sake of the Universe!'

But other part of me says, 'I hope she's not going to drive us to the death'. Ritsu never told me she can drive, besides, for someone like Ritsu it's near to impossible. Not that I underestimating her, but to be really honest, even if she could drive, I bet she wouldn't drive like normal people. She's just—as many people say—pretty careless.

So yeah, letting this careless girl drive means I just gave up my life.

I'm tensed, of course, it's just normal for me to be so tensed! "Hey, c'mon… don't be scared now, Mio."

"'Don't be scared'? You never told me about taking me to a date with a car and you're the one who drive! Gosh, seriously, if this is a joke, it's not funny. I mean, since when you can drive?"

"If I tell you, you will get off this car and then—BAM! My surprise-date will be all ruin, cuz my date just run away from me."

I can't talk back to that. I can if I want to, but the problem is there's a part of me that tells me to just be quite and let Ritsu handling all the things today. After all, she's the one who planned this date and…after today, she can't come along to the trip. Well, it's her punishment in anyways.

I want to just keep silent until we arrived at whatever-place Ritsu is taking us to, but I just can't help it. I have to ask. "Where are you taking me anyway?"

"Hmm… Eiffel Tower."

I raised an eyebrow at her. "I thought this is a surprise-date."

"Well, for the first destination, it's just doesn't seem right if I keep it as a surprise. Y'know, yesterday two strangers just left you there and asked me to pick you up at the Eiffel Tower. Since we've been there, it's just not really surprising for a surprise."

Weird, but she's right.

"Ah, since it's almost lunch. How about we stop by at some restaurant? You hungry, Mio?" She asked, eyes still looking straight forward.

I shrugged. It's just not me to really admit that I'm hungry, but remembering I haven't eat, I can't help it. "Kinda."

"Alright—how bout…that restaurant, hm?" She picked the restaurant randomly? "Or I'll leave you to choose which restaurant you want to eat at."

"I guess it's up to you. I'm not really familiar with restaurants in this country." And with that last sentence, Ritsu replied it with an 'Okay' and started to park the car. People parked their cars by pulled it over the sidewalks and yeah, Ritsu did the same.

Since I'm the only who haven't eat this morning, Ritsu ordered me—or letting me order—a breakfast meal. I frowned a bit when I saw Ritsu's ordered food being delivered to us, it's a meat with some sauce and really… it's so not like Ritsu for ordering such food. And it's true, Ritsu mumbled something like,

"I thought there's gonna be more on my plate." That makes me giggled a little at her. She stole a few bites from my meal and not allowing me to steal any bite from her plate. Just how romantic was that? Well, can't argue about that with Ritsu.

We finished our dishes and the waiter gave us the bills. I glanced a little at the bills and gosh, just ordering two meals costs pretty much cash for it. Ritsu looks calm, not the kind of look that she doesn't have enough money—or she left her wallet at the hotel. I sighed in relief, watching Ritsu paid the bills casually and grinning at me while held her hand to me.

We left the restaurant and I can't help but felt another tense as I sat down on the passenger seat. I took a long deep breath; it worked and calmed me a little.

It did cross my mind that I started to remember, certain things Ritsu afraid of. I saw the Eiffel Tower, staring it up and seeing that kind of height, really gives me shivers. Not to mention, Ritsu who looks…calm?

Ritsu held her hand at me, I accepted it and the next moment we were inside the elevator. I can't help but glancing at Ritsu, putting a bit of hope that she wouldn't notice me. She really didn't notice my glance at her, but one thing for sure; she just squeezed my right hand. I frowned, seeing she was now sweating.

"Ritsu, are you okay?" She only nodded at me.

Just for the records, everyone knows that I always been a scaredy-cat and Ritsu always been the brave one. This is one thing—or a few things—people don't know about Ritsu. She has high-o-phobia. Afraid of heights.

Not to mention that I also afraid of heights, but my afraid of heights isn't as much as Ritsu's. I figured this out years ago, maybe in Junior High, when we go up to the mountain and someone just jokingly pushed Ritsu nearby the edge. Ritsu was so stressed ever since that incident and well, she's still stress out up until now, I guess.

Something inside me is doubt her. So before we get to the highest floor of this Eiffel Tower, I squeezed back Ritsu's hand, making Ritsu to turn her head to me. "You know, we shouldn't go up here if you—"

"No, I'm fine, Mio. Don't worry." She reassured me. That smile just now, it's sweet but I know she pushed it a little bit.

"It's really bugging me, to see you pushing yourself like this, Ritsu."

"C'mon, Mio… I said I'm fine, see? Look at me, I'm fine and well… let's just forget that I'm afraid of heights for now. How's that?"

"I said you don't have to go this far…" Just by then, the elevator's door opened.

Ritsu and I were speechless. The view… the wind flowing… everything from up here is so beautiful. Of course, Ritsu was another thing that got my attention. I heard her took a long deep breath, opening her eyes slowly and she let out a gasp.

"Yeah, it's beautiful." I cut her when I caught her hard to find the right words to describe the things here.

"It's worth it, huh?"

I can't help but throw my arms around her. I hugged her; it's really rare to see Ritsu doing all this just for me. Every girl couldn't resist this, I know that, because I'm a girl and Ritsu here is treating like I'm the only one that matters. Just then, something popped out in my head. "Oh, we need to take a pic!"

"But I'm recording a video here." I quickly looked at her. She holds a handy cam in her right hand, grinning as she got the cam's attention towards me. "C'mon, say something, Mio~"

I don't like being recorded like this, so I looked away in no time. "Ugh, don't shoot me, Ritsu!"

"Why?~ I can't shoot myself now, can I?"

"You know I don't like it…" That sad voice and a bit pout working so well on Ritsu. I heard a click sound, she stopped recording with her handy cam.

"Alright, alright… let's just take a pic. Gimme your digi-cam, Mio." I seek for my digital camera, pulling it out of my bag, I handed it to Ritsu.

I was thinking that Ritsu is going to ask some random people to take a pic of us, but instead of doing that, she just standing closer next to me. Putting one of her arms around my shoulder, then said…

"Say cheese!"

Click!

One picture has been taken. I was about to reach my digital camera from Ritsu, but she held it far enough out of reach. "Let's do it one more time, kay?" I sighed in defeat.

One more picture wouldn't hurt—"Say cheese!"

"Wha—!"

Click!

Instead of saying cheese or smiling to the camera, I was taken aback. "Ritsu!" I acted instinctively, while I could feel blood rushing up to my face. Ritsu was just grinning happily with what she just did.

It's not really that embarrassing for her, but for me it's really… well… kind of embarrassing in some ways.

"Well, I guess we should do that more often, Mio!~ This looks cute!"

"Let me see it!" I pleaded; seriously I don't want to play cat-and-mouse game up on the Eiffel Tower now.

"Promise me you won't delete it until you give me a copy of this photo."

Groaning softly, I just had to agree. "Fine, now give me that!"

I gasped, it's really embarrassing to let other people see this kind of picture in my digital camera. Imagining how my friends will react towards this picture is just too much for me. I glanced a bit at her, planning to just delete it, until—"Mio, remember you promised me."

I sigh, yeah, I promised.

Well, come to think of it, I never had any picture of Ritsu kissing me before.


A/N: Yeah, there's still gonna be Part 2 for the date! Hahaha!

~Thanks for R&R~
