BTW they choose to go in a normal plane, and Chuck is bringing Tianna on his private jet. I also calculated the flight time and time difference into this, so it's all right, not weird.

October 1st... 7 am... JFK airport...

"Jen, I'll get it. Don't worry about it." Eric said when I got ready to pay for the luggage fare.

"No, I want to pay for it! You pay for everything else! Plus this is my job trip, so please let me pay!" I whined.

"But why should you pay if you don't have to?"

"Why should you?"

"It's not that I should that I'm worried about. It's that I love you, and I want to."

"Well if you love me so much then let me fucking pay!"

"You do realize there are children here?"

"Fuck you! If it's that big of a deal, you can pay the goddamn fare!" I growled at Eric as I stomped away.

A couple minutes later, he walked over to the chair I'd sat in and sat in the one beside me. He put his arm around me and said "I'm sorry, Jen. I just don't want you to have to do anything you don't need to."

"No, don't be sorry. I'm the asshole in this situation. Lately, I've been a jerk to everybody." I was trying my hardest not to cry.

"You're not an asshole for that. We all have our phases where we're annoyed easier."

"Yeah, but I get too out of control. You've never yelled at me, and I've yelled at way too many people. I don't even realize it's happening when it happens."

"It'll be ok." Eric promised, hugging me tighter and kissing the top of my head. I lifted my head to kiss him. Then the announcement for the boarding of our plane went off.

8 hours later... Paris... 8:03 pm...

We'd just arrived at the hotel, and it was beautiful.

We all checked in to our rooms, Eleanor in her room, the other employee in hers, Chuck in his, and Eric, Tianna and I had our own.

"Jenny, remember, meet me down here at 7 in the morning. We have a lot of work to do." Eleanor reminded me.

"I know. I'll be here."

"I know. Good night everyone."

Everyone said their various good nights and Eric and I took Tianna up to our room.

It was a bit hard to go to sleep when in New York it was only 2 pm, but I had to for my job.

At 7 am, Eric and I met Eleanor in the lobby, as planned, and Chuck had picked Tianna up right before to take her around the city.

We all got into one limo for the first day, so we'd know where to go for the rest of the days.

Mostly we just made sure we had the right things for the models, and the right models, and checked to make sure everything was fitted right, and if it wasn't, we fixed it.

We worked for the majority of the day. Eleanor told us we could leave around 7, and Eric, who'd been following me around all day decided we should go out for dinner, so we did.

Later, around 9, we went back to the hotel. I spent a bit with Tianna before leaving her with Chuck and going back to our room to sleep.

October 3rd...

Saturday was basically a repeat of Friday, only we got out at 4 because it was Saturday.

"I have something planned, and I think you'll love it." Eric told me as we left the building we were holding the fashion show at.

"What does this thing involve?"

"You, me, dinner and a nice walk to a certain attraction."

"Where?"

"Can't I surprise you?"

"Whatever. Asshole." I joked.

"Right now, we should go dress shopping."

"Need a new dress, do you?"

"You lovable sarcastic bitch!" Eric laughed at me. "No, you do, so I want to get you one."

"Why do I need a new dress?"

"I want you to wear something I bought you."

"Ok, then."

"Ok, then let's go in here."

I didn't even look at where we went in. It looked interesting on the inside, and the dresses were cool, so it didn't really matter.

"You're a size three, right?" Eric asked.

"Yeah. Hey, this is cute." I said, picking up black glittery dress. "I don't need it though. Plus, it's too big."

Later...

We'd found the perfect dress: down to my ankles, ruffled skirt, glittery bodice, and it was black and silver.

I fixed my hair in an updo with some hanging down in the front left side. My makeup was lightly sparkly.

Eric wore a gray suit, with a black and silver tie to match me.

We went out to some fancy place for dinner, then we went for a walk.

"Where are we actually going?" I couldn't help but wonder.

"You'll see. You'll love it."

"Why won't you tell me?"

"Because I want to surprise you."

"What if I don't want to be surprised?"

"It doesn't matter, since our destination is right ahead of us. You see the bridge?"

"Yeah, is that where we're going?"

"Yep!" He pulled something in a bag out of his pocket. "I even brought a lock, with our names engraved and the key."

"You're so fucking cute sometimes!" I exclaimed, hugging him.

"I just try to keep you happy because I love you."

"I love you."

"Let's go put the lock on!"

"Yeah!" I cheered along as we continued to walk toward the bridge.

We got there, and he let me put the lock on the bridge and lock it.

I turned toward him and said "Eric van der Woodsen, I love you, forever, and always."

Then I put my arms around his neck and kissed him.

"I love you, forever and always." He replied, kissing me again.

"Maybe we should go back to the hotel now." I suggested.

"I think that sounds like a good idea."

We hailed a cab and rode back, cuddling on the way.

Once we arrived back in our room, we went straight to the bedroom.

We slid our clothes off and wrapped our arms around each other as we kissed passionately.
Eric picked me up off my feet and gently tossed me on the bed, climbing onto me.

After a few moments of kissing, we took things further.

Gently, sweetly and rhythmically, we made love, murmuring random 'I love you' and hot heavy breathing mixed with gentle moans and a few gasps.

We had no idea what would come of it.
