Thank you for the reviews I have gotten. I am so glad you all liked it. I hate that fanfiction is messing up. Hopefully before to much longer it will straighten itself out
One note I have never been to any of these places and I have my information from Google and pictures and this is fanfiction. I also read the information and used my own words at times to describe each place
Here is chapter 1 Recap
They arrived in Paris, France and was met by the a driver and was chauffeured to one of the most luxurious hotels in Paris in a vintage car
They arrived at Hotel Lorette and will be staying in the penthouse
They get kinda heavy with their kisses and touches but they know when to stop. It was hard but they did
They ate at the restaurant in the hotel and some very delicious meals. Christian and Ana gave the servers a very nice tip
They met their tour guide Jacqueline Dupree who is in security and Ray knows her and her family. Dav recommended her
Jacqueline took them to some of the most exciting places. They ate at a restaurant on the second floor of the Eiffel Tower and then as a surprise Jacqueline took them up to the top of the Eiffel Tower so they could see more sights
Ana and Christian walked over to the Love Lock Bridge and Christian put their lock on it sealed and threw the key in the river below
They walked the cobbled streets, ate at one of the little cafes outside
Well here is what everyone has been waiting for. Ana told him about her family and how wealthy she is.
He didn't have any issues with her money. He loves her for her not for what she has.
He was amazed but he was happy
He didn't wait a second. He got on the phone and called Jason to bring the small box to him
He got on one knee and proposed to the love of his life.
Yes Ana said yes…she said yes
He gave her a beautiful three carat diamond ring in the shape of a pear. The diamond was blue and very rare.
He told her that gran gave him the ring that belonged to her grandmother. That no one would ever wear but Ana
I hope I did the proposal justice. It was just my words
Chapter 2
The morning after the proposal
They wake up in each other's arms. Smiling and Christian takes her hand and kisses her ring then he leans over and kisses Ana
"I love you so much my precious angel. I know we are going to have a wonderful life together. I can't wait to fill our home with little ones running around."
"I love my soon-to-be-husband. Oh I am getting married. We are getting married. We have to call daddy, Elliot, Paula, gran, granmomma, grandpa…oh hell we have got to call everyone and tell them our wonderful news."
"Yes love we do, slow down love you are talking a mile a minute."
Christian says smiling and laughing
"Oh Boo, I am so happy. I can't stop smiling. I have to call them now."
"Wait love, there is a time difference, remember? It is ten o'clock in the morning here and we have a six hour time difference. They are six hours behind us right now. They are in bed. It is four o'clock in the morning there. We will video them later."
"I am sorry I just can't wait much longer."
"I know love, I know."
"Ok time to get up and get a shower but first I want some sugar from my fiancée."
"You can have all the sugar you want, my love."
She grabs his face and starts kissing him all over his face, She finally reaches his lips and smooth as silk slips her tongue in between his lips. She slides her tongue along his playing back and forth. She reaches up and runs her fingers through his hair and down his neck to his back
Christian lips devour hers and he grabs her and slides her body on top of his. He feels every inch of her and she feels so damn good. Her body is soft and firm in all the right places.
Ana runs her hand down his side up to his chest and rubs small circles around his nipple. They break the kiss and they are breathing so hard. Ana leans down and places small kisses and licks on his scars
She moves down his chest to his stomach and continues with the sweetest kisses. She gets to the top off his boxers and kisses his V and looks up at him through her lashes and sees he is staring at her and his eyes are as bright as the sun
He pulls her up to him and kisses her like crazy. Caressing her back and butt. Sliding her up and down on him
She can feel all of him. She loves him and she wants to make him happy. She is so wet and wanting him so bad
Christian can feel how wet she is and he can smell her scent and she smells so good
They have to stop, he has to stop
"Love, Ana, we have to stop. We have to get up and take showers. We have room service coming in an hour. We have family here and family we have to call."
"Are you trying to get rid of me, Boo?"
"No..yes..well love, I am not trying to get rid of you per say . I am just trying to get you out of bed before I rip this sexy as sin bra and panties off of your gorgeous body and have my way with you."
"Mercy my love."
That is all she can say
"I love you Ana so damn much and I want you so much but we are going to wait. It is killing me but we will wait. Just know that I want you so desperately but we will wait."
"Yes love we will wait. I want you very much. I hurt from wanting you."
"We will wait until it is the right time and we will both know it."
They get out of the bed and walk toward the ensuite
"Come on my love we are going to shower together. We can do that."
Christian looks at her and walks on in with her
"Yeah I think we can. We will try anyway. Not sure if I can keep my promise but my love, for you I will do my damndest."
"We can do it, we both have control."
"Speak for yourself, love."
"Christian I have never seen a naked man. You will be the first one."
He stumbles and catches himself..lord I hope I don't scare her with my size. I am above average. He knew she was a virgin but he never thought about her seeing a man naked before
"Um well I am happy to be the first and the last."
"Yes love you are and will be forever more."
They walk into the bathroom and start taking off their clothes. Chrisitain gets the water ready and he steps in first holding his hand out to Ana. She doesn't hesitate like he thought she would.
She steps in the shower and steps on her toes and kisses him so deeply so lovingly that he has to take a step back from her. She follows him and presses him up against the shower wall.
She continues to kiss him playing tonsil hockey with him. She runs her hands down his chest to his stomach and further down passed his V to until she feels his little tuft of hair
He grabs her hand and brings it to his lips and kisses it.
"Ana, what do you think you are doing my love?"
"I was just going to check out your package. I wanted to know how it feels and what it felt like in my hand."
"Let me say something my angel, if you touch me I will explode. I have wanted you since you were fifteen years old. Yes fifteen years old then and to this day I can't wait to make you mine in every sense of the word. But we will wait and your first time for any of this between us will not be in the shower."
"Ok my love I will wait but I do want to wash you."
"Be my guest, my angel. You can wash me anytime you want too."
Ana takes the shampoo and smells it first then proceeds to pour some in her hand. She rubs her hands together and rubs them through his hair. Scratching his head with her fingers and massaging his scalp
Christian reciprocates by washing her hair and running his hands through her hair and down her neck
Ana finishes washing his hair and then takes the body wash and washes him from head to toe. Yes head to toe even though he tries to get her not to touch him. She doesn't listen but she doesn't linger either.
"All done my love, now you can wash me if you don't think it will be too much for you?"
"Never too much for me my angel, never too much. I can wash you everyday. It might be hard for me to control myself. But I promise you I will."
"Well then Boo, Wash me my love so we can eat and make some calls. What time is it now? Oh we have to tell Gail and Taylor too."
"We have plenty of time. Let's give everyone at home time to wake up."
They finish washing each other and get out of the shower. Christian holds his hand out for Ana to take
"What a gentleman you are. Thank you sweetheart."
"You are welcome, my love."
They dry off and walk out of the bathroom with only their towels around them
"My angel you have a body to die for. I know you work out and all but my Ana you have abs that men would kill for."
"Well my darling love I can say the same about you. That eight pack and that V is driving me crazy."
"Oh my god we have to get dressed and get out of here."
"Yes honeybunch we sure do."
They both laugh at what she called him
They are dressed and waiting in the living room when room service knocks on their door
They have a lovely breakfast of eggs benedict with Hollandaise sauce and salmon. They have a variety of fruits and a side of potato pancakes
"Love that was delicious wasn't it?"
"Yes Boo, it was. I especially liked the fresh strawberries and melon."
"Yes the strawberries were sweet and tart, they were very tasty especially off your lips."
"Well um yes they were that."
He can see she is getting all flustered
"I am going to call Jason and tell him to call the team and come to our room if they have already eaten."
"Ok I am going to freshen up."
"My darling angel, you look lovely as you are."
'Awe thank you sweetheart but I need to brush my teeth."
"Very well I will wait for you right here."
"Hello Christian, what can I do for you this lovely morning?"
"Well if everyone has eaten we would like for you all to come to our room please."
"I will check with the guys and we will see you both soon."
"By the way we overslept. Can you or Dav call Jacqueline and ask her to meet us downstairs at noon please. We have to make a very important call. Ana is bouncing off the walls and we had to wait a little longer to make the call."
"Yes Christian I sure will."
Ana walks back into the living room
"Jason said he would check on everyone and they would be here soon.
He is also calling Jacqueline and having her meet us at noon. I think he already did it before I called him. He knows we are usually up before now."
"Yes I don't doubt it either."
"My love, you are gorgeous."
He grabs her and pulls her to him so he can kiss her
"Oh Christian I still can't believe we are going to be husband and wife. I can't wait."
"Me neither my love , me neither. Come here I want a kiss from those rosy lips."
Ana glides over to him and leans up on her toes and kisses his sexy as sin full lips
There is a knock on the door. Christian goes to check and see who it is through the peephole
"Come on in everyone and have a seat.
"We are fixin to make a call to the family. Would anyone like a cup of coffee?"
"We can fix it Ana just sit yourself down."
"Ok you call this a very important call."
Christian sets up the video on the big screen and makes the call
"Hello who all is there with you Ray?"
"Well just me and Elliot at the moment."
"Elliot, can you go and bring the family over to the condo for a little while? Ray, do you know how to hook up the video chat on the big screen?'
"Yeah I do. Elliot has shown me before."
"Ok thanks. So how is everyone there? Are you all alright?"
"All is good and we are all alright."
"Hey daddy I love and miss you."
"Hey Annie my love, I love and miss you too."
They hear a lot of racket coming in the backdoor
"Oh my goodness, is that Christian and my sweet Annie Rose?"
"Yes granmomma it is us and the hold crew. How are you doing?"
"Oh sugar I am doing just fine. By the smile on your face I would say you are too."
"Yes granmomma I am and I am so very happy."
Gail looks over at Ana and sees she practically glowing from within
"Well everyone Christian , my love, my life, my everything proposed to me last night and I said yes."
"Oh my goodness I knew it was coming but not when. Congratulations to you Annie Rose and Christian welcome to the family. Congratulations to both of you."
"Thank you granmomma."
"Congratulations from all of us."
"Thank you all so much. We are so very happy."
"Well I'll be my baby bro getting married to the love of his life. Congratulations man, I am so happy for you and Ana."
"Thank you El, that means a lot. You will be my best man?"
"Of course I will. I have waited a long time for this moment."
"Thank you El."
"Paula, will you be my maid of honor?"
"Oh my lord yes Ana yes I will."
"Thank you."
"Congratulations to you both. Christian you are getting one helluva woman treat her right or I will take you down."
"No worries there Paula, I will treat her as precious cargo, my angel."
"Have y'all set a date yet?"
"No, not yet we just got engaged last night and it was beautiful."
"Well y'all have time. There is no rush."
"That's right granmomma no rush. Neither of us are going anywhere."
"I am so happy for you, Annie and Christian. Welcome to the family, son."
"Thank you daddy, thank you Ray."
"Gran I want to say thank you for my absolutely gorgeous engagement ring. I love it is so brilliant and I love the blue diamond."
"You are welcome, sweet girl. That ring was meant for your finger and no one else. Congratulations to both of you."
"Congratulations to both of you and welcome to the family baby girl. Even though you are already family, you are so precious to us."
"Thank you grandpa, I love you too."
"Well now we got all the congratulations over hold up your ring. We want to see it."
Ana gets close to the screen and holds her hand out for them to see
"Oh my lord, that is so beautiful the diamond is the color of your eyes Ana."
"Yes it is and I love it so much, and I love the man right here beside me that asks me to be his wife."
She leans over and gives him the softest kiss ever
"Alright none of that lip lock in front of me bro."
Everyone laughs
"Oh El, you will see a lot of that I promise you that."
"Well I will just have to hide my innocent eyes."
He cracks himself up and everyone else
"Elliot Grey, if you are innocent I am the Queen of Egypt.'
"Nice to meet you, Queen."
"Oh my lord, these two are something else."
"Paula take care of him."
"Ana I am trying to but you know Elliot he is something else."
"Yes we all know."
"El, have all your crews made it down yet?"
"They will be here Friday. They had to make sure everything was right when the inspectors came out to approve their work. They are finishing up the final stages.
Thank you Ana for providing them transportation on your jet."
"Tell them they are welcome. You have the new blueprints we drew up handy?"
"I can run and get them. Any certain thing you want to check out?"
"I want to make sure you have the office for Paula set off from the other managers and she has her private ensuite bathroom. We talked about everything before we left Miami is all."
"Never fear, yes Ana it is all in the blueprints and I can send you an email of it. Paula made sure it was up to snuff…as she says."
"If you still want me to get them I will?"
"No, that won't be necessary now. I just wanted to make sure that was all."
"Don't fret Ana, it was on there. I double checked it."
"Thank you Paula and thank you El. Love you both."
"We love you too."
"Ok Ana, check your email I just sent them to you."
"Boo will you get my phone in the bedroom please?"
"Of course."
Christian walks off and Ana starts talking fast
"Wow, that was close. You all know that is for Christian right? Paula will have her office too."
"Yes Annie we know."
"Good, I couldn't tell him yet."
"Yes we know."
They are all smiling
"Here you go love."
"Thank you sweetheart."
"You are welcome angel."
Ana looks the blueprints on her phone
"Oh yes this is perfect El. Thank you."
"I knew you would like it."
"Yes it is the right size and it is exactly what I wanted."
"Ok everyone we are going to say bye for now. We have a lot of sightseeing to do before we leave at the end of the week."
"Alright we love and miss you all."
"We love and miss y'all too."
"Do you know where you are going? Have you planned that far ahead bro?"
"Yes El we have. We are going to Rome next for two weeks. Then on to England for a few weeks. We will send you all our itinerary so you all will know where we are if you need us for some reason."
"Yes, that would be handy for us. Thank you Christian."
"You are welcome grandpa."
"We will upload some pictures tonight and send them to you all."
"Yes, that would be wonderful. I would like to see where y'all have been."
"Granmomma we ate on the second floor of the Eiffel Tower.
"Oh my goodness."
"Yes I know. By the way thank you daddy for asking Jacqueline to be our security and guide for this trip to Paris. She is an amazing lady. She surprised us and took us to the top of the Eiffel Tower to the observation deck. It was spectacular."
"Oh my that was awesome. You are welcome, yes I served with her father."
"Yes I know Dav told us all about it."
"Ok now we really have to go. I have to go shopping too. I love you all bunches."
"We love you all too."
The screen goes blank
"Oh my Ana, Christian, congratulations. May I see your ring?"
"Thank you and yes, come here Gail look at this magnificent ring that my darling Boo gave me."
Gail walks over to Ana and sits down beside her
"Oh Ana, that is absolutely gorgeous. The blue in the diamond matches your eyes to perfection."
"Yes I know, I love it so much. This ring belonged to Adele's grandmother."
"Oh my how precious being passed down through generations. A family heirloom and sentimental value. If I were you when I got home I would ask gran about the people who wore them before and I bet you will have an amazing story with so much history to tell your children one day."
"Yes you are right and I will. I would love to know more about this gorgeous ring."
"Alright ladies if you are through reminiscing about that lovely ring we need to be going. As my love has a habit of saying times a wastin."
They all laugh at Christian saying it
"Come along my love."
"Dav is Jacqueline meeting us downstairs this morning?"
"Yes Ana she is and may I say congratulations to you both. I know you will be very happy."
"Thank you Dav."
"Christian and Ana before we leave this room I just want to say that I am so happy for both of you. I knew you would find your way back to each other. From listening to Ray and Theo talk you are meant to be together and you are. You are soulmates and we are very happy to have you in the family Ana. Not that you weren't already."
"Wow, never heard you talk so much before Jason. Thank you very much."
"Yes thank you Jason my friend. Yes you are right we are meant to be together and we are now forever more."
"Ok enough sentimental stuff let's go."
"Lead the way Dav."
They all walk out of the room and get in the elevator and go downstairs to meet Jacqueline
They are met at the front door by Jacqueline. She has a paper in her hand
"Good morning everyone. Hope you all had a wonderful night?"
"Good morning Jacqueline we did."
"We hope we didn't mess up any plans you had for us today. We overslept. I am sure Jason called you earlier than I told him a while ago."
She laughs
"Yes Christian he did and no you are not messing up any plans I have for you all."
"Good we were worried."
" No, it is all good. You are glowing Ana."
"Yes ma'am I am and I have a reason to be."
She holds out her hand and shows her her ring
"Oh my goodness how gorgeous and congratulations to you both."
"Thank you very much."
"Now I have planned out what we will be doing today. If it is not something you want to do or add something please tell me."
They take the paper that Jacqueline handed to Ana after she and Christian have looked it over
First I thought we would take a walk through the cobbled streets and see some sights like the Rue Cremieux. Then onto Galeries Lafayette stopping at Hotel Plaza Athenee for lunch at their beautifully ivy-covered terrace La Cour Jardin restaurant
Then take a tour in the cars to Sacre-Coeur it's in height to the Eiffel Tower. I just want to show you around the bottom floors because it is a steep climb to the top three hundred steps. I know you both have had recent surgeries and that's why I offered just the bottom of the Sacré-Coeur."
"Then end our day at the gorgeous Parc des Buttes-Chaumont. I thought I would let you all decide where you would like tonight."
"Dav you and Jason take a look and make sure all is within safety measures."
"Yes ma'am."
They look at it after Ana and Christian decide that this is a wonderful plan
"Yes Jacqueline, it looks very safe."
"I thought it was but I always value other opinions, especially yours and now Jason's since I have talked to him and he is Mr. Grey's CPO."
"Very well shall we begin? Our first part of the tour will be walking. Is that alright?"
"That will be fine."
"Good then shall we?"
Nick opens the door and Jason and Dav walk out first next is Christian and Ana. Followed by Gail and Jacqueline with Sawyer, James, Rick and Paul in the back
They have been walking by the hotel now for a couple of blocks and Ana sees a couple probably in their late twenties. They are both carrying a baby. One with a blue blanket and one wrapped in a pink blanket
She smiles at the couple as they walk by
Christian sees that look and he smiles too
"Twins wow. Can you imagine my love?"
"Not right now Boo and when we do I hope it is just one but if god deems twins we will love them no matter what and be happy."
"Yes my angel we will. I can't wait to be a father and see you round with our child."
He kisses the side of her head
Oh my lord and I thought I couldn't love him more
"I can't either but let's get married first and take care of business and then we can have all that."
"Yes my angel we will have that and more."
As they are walking Jacqueline tells them about different places they are going to be able to see for the rest of their stay. They will be traveling to Jardin du Luxembourg to a stroll and see how grand and regal it is
They are going to visit the Palais Garnier and the next day we are going to Notre-Dame Cathédrale
As the are walking they come upon a beautiful sight houses that are all pastel colors
"Jacqueline is this Rue Cremieux? I have heard of this place where they paint all the houses in lovely pastel colors."
"Yes Ana, it is. I thought you all might like to see it. Their houses are lovely and the streets are so charming in cobblestones."
"Yes you are right it is very lovely thank you."
They walk on by the houses and Jacqueline tells them they are looking at the Galeries Lafayette
They follow Jacqueline to the door and Dav opens the door for them all to go through
"Oh my goodness this place is magnificent. Lord a mercy did you know this place was here Christian?"
"I have heard of it but never knew too much about it. I am happy I get to explore it with you."
"Awe ain't he just the sweetest sugar pie?"
He looks at her and smiles but blushes
They all laugh
"Ok, ok enough come on let's go see this magnificent place as Ana says."
"This is on the famed Boulevard Haussmann. It is a department store known for its upscale French products and stunning neo-Byzantine stained-glass cupola. Now if you could come back in December you could see the world's grandest Christmas Displays."
Christian sees the look on Ana's face. She is already daydreaming about Christmas. He knows that look and he knows she loves Christmas
Ana looks at him and smiles
"Yes love, I know that look."
"What look is that?"
Gail and Jacqueline say at the same time
Everyone laughs at them
"The look she gets when she is daydreaming about something and this look is Christmas. Ana loves Christmas."
"Well if the weather permits we might just come back here. I would love to see this Christmas display and maybe buy some things."
"We will see my love, we will see."
They continue walking through the Galeries and see upscale fashion, gourmet foods. Gorgeous art Nouveau architecture and some in- store activities
They take wine tour and sample different wines
They take time to watch a catwalk show for new fashions
Ana and Christian take a French macaron baking class
There is a lot of Architectural and historical
The architecture of the store is art nouveau with a remarkable dome and panoramic view of Paris that has made it a tourist attraction of the French Capital. It is one of the most popular, chic and distinguished shopping centers in Paris
Ana and Christian purchased some Christmas gifts while they were there. Ana bought Christian a few ties and some shirts. Christian bought Ana a full length coat and a few beautiful dresses. He also got her a beautiful evening gown to wear to the Opera.
A few of the team bought some items and Gail and Jason splurged a little on Sophie
"Wow that was amazing, we are going to have to come back when we have a lot more time. I would love to go through the whole place."
"Yes I agree with you that it was interesting. I never saw so much stuff in one place. We never did get over to any of the restaurants. Oh well we can do that later."
"Well I can tell by the look on your faces you all enjoyed yourselves in there."
"Yes Jacqueline we did. It was different and so much to see."
"Yes it is a lot to take in in one day."
"Alright, are you all ready for lunch?"
"Yes ma'am we sure are."
"Very well let's walk a little further and we will take a seat at the Hotel Plaza Athenee's Restaurant. La Cour Jardin has an ivy-covered terrace. It is lovely and quaint. I know you will enjoy it."
They had a lovely lunch of crab cake and Trout roe. Then just sat around and talked for a little while admiring the scenery
"Thank you Jacqueline, it was a very tasty lunch. I am good to go now until supper."
"Glad you enjoyed it Ana. How about you all?"
Yes they all say at once
"Good love to hear that. La Cour Jardin is one of my favorites."
"Alright, our transportation is here for the rest of the tour."
"Where are we going now?"
"Sacré-Coeur , the second highest point of the city right after the Eiffel Tower. It is a towering Romano-Byzantine basilica. It's a very steep climb up to Montmartre. Three hundred steps, no elevator. Everything about it is it's architecture and the views from the hilltop inspires awe
They do have a funicular; it has a rail system but it's not a train it's basically cars that are pulled by cables. It takes a little over a minute to get to the top. if you would like to ride instead of walking. If you all walk it will take forty five minutes unless you want to stop and rest. It is a steep climb."
"We are going to take the funicular. It sounds like fun and fast."
"The view up top is amazing. I know you all will like it."
"From the top you can see everything. Let's go and see how long we have to wait on a funicular?"
"Hopefully it won't be too long. In the meantime let's look at the front of the Sacré-Coeur. From here it looks amazing."
"Oh my it has two prominent equestrian statues. One is Joan of Arc on horseback and the other one is King Saint Louis."
"Dav, how long is the wait?"
"The young man said another twenty five minutes."
"Do we have time to walk inside and see some things?"
"Yes, let us go and see the first floor. You will see it is breathtaking."
They walk inside and Ana and Gail gasps so they loud
"Oh my goodness this is breathtakingly gorgeous. The interior is dominated by a mosaic that extends over the ceiling of the apse. It's very impressive work, isn't Christian?"
"Yes Ana it surely is. My god is phenomenal. It says here that it represents the Sacred Heart of Jesus Christ and is the largest mosaic in France and one largest in the world."
"Alright everyone it's time let's go and ride the Funicular to the top."
They all walk out and get in line to get in what looks like a toy car. It's cute and has glass all around it
They ride to the top and like Jacqueline said doesn't take long at all
"Oh wow this is a spectacular view. I can see everything from here. Notre Dame, the Eiffel Tower, the Pantheon, the Opera Garnier
"It is a gorgeous site that's for sure Ana."
"Yes Gail it surely is. How did you like that fast ride?"
"It was fun but yeah you don't see much of anything."
"The Sacré-Coeur Crypt is to your left in the dome."
"Oh my goodness."
They all look around and after looking at everything it is time to head back down
"Alright y'all we are lucky and a few funiculars are ready to go down."
"Ok come on you all. Where are we next Jacqueline?"
"Now let us be on our way to Parc des Buttes-Chaumont."
They take a ride over to Parc des Buttes-Chaumont and once there they all get out and walk up to the entrance
"Oh my goodness this is beautiful. Look Christian, there are lakes and oh my the beautiful waterfalls. Looks like a rainbow with the sun shining on them."
"Yes love it sure does. Jacqueline, there are parks here, right?"
"Yes Christian there sure is. Come on you all, we can walk some. I will have the cars meet us on the other side. We are not going to walk the whole place because it is sixty-two acres."
"Wow I didn't know it was that big."
"Hang on a second and I will tell you all about it once everyone catches up."
Everyone has caught up with them after getting their fill of the all the waterfalls they can see
Parc des Buttes-Chaumont is an all natural alternative to Paris's more manicured, rigidly formal parks. It is sixty-two acres with cliffs, lakes and waterfalls. You can traipse up the rocky elevations if you want to see the amazing views of the city including the aforementioned Sacré-Coeur we just left from."
"So there is a lot more to see?"
'Yes ma'am there sure is. Shall we continue?"
They walk through the acres and are amazed as she said they would be. There are more waterfalls and lakes and the park area is so beautiful and green and you can rest if you would like to take a break. They got some gorgeous videos and pictures
"Well that is our tour for today. I hope you all enjoyed it?"
"Yes we all did. It was very interesting and the places we went to were so beautiful. Thank you so much for showing us all of this."
"My pleasure, now have you all decided where you are going to have dinner tonight? I am asking because we are about an hour out of the city."
"Yes we have already made reservations. We are going to go and change and have dinner at Le Cinq. Then we are coming back to the hotel for dancing in their ballroom."
"Oh wow that is an awesome place to eat and it is so beautiful inside and out. The food is out of this world. My family likes to eat there sometimes when they are in town."
"Thank you for that glowing recommendation. I have never heard of it but I like the menu choices."
"You all will enjoy it very much. They have some of everything as you know from the menu."
"Yes it looks very appetizing."
"It is and enjoy the rest of your evening with the dancing. Shall we go to the cars?"
"Yes ma'am."
They ride back to their hotel and go inside to get dressed for dinner
"Dav can I speak to you and Jason for a moment?"
"Of course Chris, is something wrong you seem serious?"
"Oh no, no, nothing is wrong. I just wanted to let you all know that we are leaving here Thursday. That gives us one more day here. Then we are going to the villa I got for Ana. She doesn't know she is going and I want it to be a surprise. So while we're out eating breakfast I want you all to load our luggage and be prepared to leave around ten o'clock that morning."
"Ok sounds good, now do you have a place for security?"
"Of course I do. Jason knows about it. I have a separate house on the grounds for you all."
"Alright, thank you for letting us know. I will be sure to tell Jacqueline later when I call her."
"No problem, now I guess we need to change before Ms. Nosy comes looking for me."
They all laugh and walk their separates to get ready for dinner
Christian prepares himself when he walks in the door for questions from Ana
"Now where were you and what were you doing?"
"I had to talk to them about security. Nothing is wrong, just wanted to go over some things before we leave here and go to Rome."
"Well sugar you need to shower and get dressed. I am going to get dressed and wait for you out here in the living room."
"Well I thought you would shower with me."
"Well you were too slow and we need to go eat. I am hungry my love."
He just looks at her for a moment and walks on into the bathroom
"My goodness Boo don't you look scrumptious all decked out in your tux and I love your tie it matches my gown. My heavens be still my heart."
"Yes my love it does and may I say you are looking ravishing tonight. This color blue makes your eyes shine so bright and it is very hard to keep my eyes where they should be. Especially with this lovely shoulder showing."
Ana is wearing one of a kind off the shoulder Vera Wang gown with a low cut V bodice that cinches in at the waist and flows at her hips and falls to the floor. The gown shimmers when she moves it's like an iridescence waterfall with the many colors of blues and purples
He leans over and places butterfly kisses on that shoulder
"I have something for you to make that dress complete."
"What do you have for me, my love?"
He opens a long red box from Cartier and Ana looks inside and gasps
"Oh my lord Christian that is beautiful. Thank you so much. Will you put it on for me please?"
"Of course angel turn around. Ana turns away from him and holds her hair up so he can put the necklace on for her. Once he is done he kisses her neck
"Oh Boo I love it."
He gave her a blue pear shaped diamond to match her ring with smaller diamonds all around it
"Shall we go, my angel?"
"Yes. Have you called everyone?"
"Yes love, they are waiting for us."
Christian opens the door for them and they walk out in the hall and everyone is waiting for them by the elevator
"Ana you look gorgeous, that dress is very beautiful."
"Thank you Gail, you look lovely as well."
"How about us men huh?"
Dav smiles at her
"You gentlemen look very handsome tonight. I don't think I have ever seen any of you tuxes."
"Alright enough compliments let's go eat."
They all get in the elevator and head downstairs
"Christian we have two cars waiting to take us to Le Cinq."
"Thank you Jason."
They walk out of the elevator and all eyes are on them
They just walk on by and out the door and get in the cars and go to the restaurant
They all walk in and Dav gives the maitre d' their name for the reservation
"Right this way sir. We have a private dining room set up for you and your party."
She tells them once they are seated that their server will be out shortly
"Hello my name is Sharon and this Roberto we will be your servers tonight."
"What would you all like to drink?"
Everyone asked for a glass of water with lemon on the side and a glass of wine with their meal all except security they opted for tea
Ana and Christian decided on - Lamb Ribs with Thyme fermented eggplant and a Seasonal green salad with truffle vinaigrette
Gail and Jason decided on- Beef Black Market from Australia covered with truffled mozzarella and a Seasonal green salad with truffle vinaigrette
The security guys decided on- Roasted Free Range "Bresse" Chicken with candied apricots/ chestnuts pasta and a Seasonal green salad with truffle vinaigrette
Their servers were attentive to each one and was always on top of what they would need
"The check please."
Christian paid for their meals and gave the servers nice tips. Two hundred dollars each
"Oh my goodness y'all I am full and that meal was delicious."
"Yes it was, I really enjoyed it."
"Shall we go back to the hotel?"
"Yes and then I would like to take a stroll for a little while. Then is going with us?"
"An evening stroll sounds nice come on Jason."
"My love if you didn't notice we are all dressed up and you want to take a stroll?"
"Yes Christian I do. Look, we are not the only ones dressed up. There are people walking around dressed up just like we are. Granted not in tuxes but they are wearing suits. Now come on, don't argue with me."
"Sawyer and I will go with you and we will have Nick and Paul in the front and we will be in the back."
They arrive back at the hotel and everyone gets out of the cars after their doors are open and they turn
They stroll hand and hand for a while coming upon one of the many bridges and looking out into the night where the lights of the ships are are sailing past
"Thank you all for accompanying us on our stroll. It was very nice just to be able to get out and just walk for a while."
"Yes it was my love we haven't done this before."
"Well come on y'all we are going dancing. Hear that lovely music."
Ana says as Dav opens the door for them
"Yes angel I hear it. Who wants to join us?"
"Gail, would you and Jason like to cut a rug with us?"
"Cut a rug really Ana?"
"Just a figure of speech Boo."
"Yes I think we will go for a spin."
They walk into the ballroom and all eyes are on Ana and Christian as they walk by and walk to the dance floor
Christian pulls Ana close to him and see lays her head upon his chest and they just sway for a while. The music changes to a waltz and Christian and Ana seem to be floating around the dance floor looking at each other as if they were the only two people on the dance floor
They dance to a few more songs then they all head up to their rooms
"We will see you all in the morning. Are you all ordering room service or eating down in the restaurant?"
"I think Gail and I will have room service. What about you guys?"
"Room service sounds good don't you think guys?"
"Room service it is."
Goodnight you all they say as they go their separate ways to their rooms
"Come to bed my love, we can shower in the morning. I am tired and want you to hold me tonight."
"Your wish is my command, my angel."
They take their clothes off and climb into their king size comfortable bed
"Kiss me my darling Boo."
"Bring those luscious lips over here angel and I will kiss them until we are both panting for air."
They kiss softly at first and then they change it up and they are lips and tongues. Licking and nibbling on each other's lips and tongue. They try to devour each other until they have to break away and take a breather
"My god woman are you trying to kill me?"
"Oh no my love I am just loving you."
"I love you Ana so much I can't begin to tell you how much. There are not enough words in the English language to describe how much you mean to me and how much I love you."
"I know sweetheart I feel the same way."
Ana yawns and tries to hide
"Let's get some sleep, angel. Goodnight I love you."
"I love you goodnight, sweet dreams Boo."
Morning comes and it is a beautiful day. The sun is shining, not a cloud in the sky. A lovely day to sightsee some more
They have breakfast and are getting ready to meet everyone outside their door for another tour of the city
Jacqueline meets everyone downstairs and they start their day
"Good morning you all it is a beautiful day is it not?"
"Yes ma'am it surely is. What are your plans for us today?"
"We are going to take a ride to Luxembourg. It is a four hour drive but it is a lovely city to visit. Then we will take a nice stroll and see how grand and regal it is,"
"We are going to have a picnic lunch at the Luxembourg gardens."
"Oh that sounds lovely come on y'all I would see that."
They all get in the cars and go to Luxembourg gardens and it is a sight to see. The greenery all around everything is so lush and the grounds are so well kept. The grass is so soft you can walk on it barefoot.
"The flowers are so vibrant and lovely from marigolds to calendulas. They have salvias, petunias and marguerites. I just love a beautiful flower garden."
"Jacqueline, this is so lovely and very quiet and peaceful."
"Yes it is Ana, and there are a lot of people around here but most everyone is enjoying their time and sightseeing like we are."
"Yes I see that and I love these gardens and the parks. It is so quaint and the people are very friendly toward us."
"Yes they are, they are really nice people here. Did you all know that Luxembourg is the richest country?"
"No, I didn't know that. Tell us about Luxembourg please?"
"The economy of Luxembourg is largely dependent on banking, steel and the industrial sectors."
"Wow, that is interesting, thank you for telling us. Shall we continue our walk through the gardens and parks?"
"Yes, let's move on. The Garden is full of beautiful statuary as a matter of fact there are more than a hundred statues, fountains and monuments."
"Oh my look at that Christian isn't just beautiful?"
"Yes it is. Jacqueline, what fountain is this?"
"That is the Marie de Medici fountain. It was commissioned by Marie to be designed by an Italian Renaissance fountain maker in sixteen twenty to replicate a grotto which was a popular feature of the Renaissance gardens."
As they continue their stroll they see more fountains and statues. The Bronze fountain just south of the Garden known as La Fontaine de I'Observatoire is also extraordinary. There are four women holding up the globe were meant to represent the four parts of the world; Europe, Asia, Africa and America
They stroll on and see the statue of Venus, the Goddess Diana with a deer at her side and the Vulcan, god of fire holding his helmet and hammer.
They see nymphs, cherubs, satyrs and one weird tangle of human forms showing Silenus, foster father of the god of wine, naked and drunk being helped onto his donkey
They see some fully garbed statues of several French royalty, saints and artists survey the grounds
"Look closely and you will see one of the plaques is Marie de Medici herself carved in marble in the eighteen forties ."
Ana and Christian are looking
"Oh I found her. Wow and it still looks good."
They see another statue that looks familiar to the Statue Of Liberty in New York. This one is a smaller Lady Liberty. Don't forget France gave us the Statue of Liberty.
They continue their stroll and see toy sailboats and puppet shows
"You can also rent the colorful toy sailboats and sail them across the pond in front of the palace, a "bateaux à voiles"
"The park has something for everyone. People come here to play chess, ride ponies, tennis, basketball. They have a carousel and sometimes concerts."
"Boo we are going to have to come and visit longer next time. I would love to spend a few days here."
"Angel that can be arranged whenever you want to come back."
"Now the Jardin du Luxembourg has another playful treasure: the city's largest puppet theater. There is a playground called the Ludo Jardin."
"Oh my goodness this is an amazing place. Thank you so much for bringing us here Jacqueline. We appreciate everything you have done for us and showed us. This is absolutely out of this world, a fantastic tour."
"I am so glad you all like this. I was hoping you would and thought it would be interesting to you all."
"Yes, yes we did thank you."
"Alright we will be going back now and there were a few places I wanted to show you all but now that my other plans came through we will be only doing one thing this evening."
They all return to the cars and are on their way back to Paris.
"We are going back to the hotel and ladies and gentlemen we are dressing up and going to the Opera this evening."
"We are going to see an Opera at the Palais Garnier also known as Opera Garnier the Paris Opera?"
"Yes Ana we are."
They all laugh at Ana she is so excited
"Well what are we waiting for? Let's go and get ready. I for one can't wait. I am dying to see the outside and the inside of the Opera Palace. I have heard and seen pictures of it. It is so magnificent."
"I will meet you all down here in the lobby at eight o'clock tonight. That way you will have time to eat before we leave."
"Sounds good thank you."
"Jacqueline, how about security? Do I need to bring all the guys with us tonight?"
"Just a few Dav I will have my guys standing outside and some inside where we will be sitting. We will be in the balcony to the left of the stairs."
"Very good thank you for taking care of that. Now with that said, do you guys want to see an Opera?"
"I think I would like to. I have never been to one."
"Ok whoever wants to go, be ready in time."
They arrive at the hotel and they all go to their rooms
They all eat dinner in their rooms and dress for the Opera
Ana is wearing a long flowing red strapless gown that hugs her curves and flares out just below her hips with a split up the left side and she looks gorgeous and is carrying a small red clutch in her hands
Christian is wearing his Tom Ford tuxedo and a matching tie to Ana's dress looking handsome and dapper
"My lord Ana you look so edible I just want to eat you up. My darling angel, you are gorgeous."
"Thank you love you look very dashing yourself."
"They meet the ones that are going to the Opera with them and everyone looks very handsome and Gail looks very lovely in her spaghetti strap blue gown and matching clutch
They walk to the elevator and take it down to the lobby
They come off the elevator and Jacqueline is waiting on them. She is wearing a lovely black sequin gown and holding a small black clutch
They arrive at the Palais Garnier and Ana is staring at all the statues on the outside of the building. It is a gorgeous sight to see
There are two gilded figures on the right and left side at the top of the building one is Harmony and the other is Poetry. They are made of gilt copper electrotype.
There are bronze bust of many great composers they are located between the columns of the theater's front facade and depict from left to right Rossini, Auber, Beethoven, Mozart, Spontini, Meyerbeer and Halevy
"My goodness there are so many busts and way too many to name."
"Yes, let us go inside and Ana can ooh and ahh in there."
The grand staircase is white with a balustrade of red and green marble which divides into two divergent flights of stairs that lead them up to the Grand Foyer. The pedestals are decorated with female torcheres.
The ceiling above is to depict The Triumph of Apollo, The Enchantment of Music Deploying it's charms, Minerva Fighting Brutality Watched by the Gods of Olympus and The City of Paris Receiving the Plan of the New Opera
"There is so much to see and learn about it will take more time than we have right now. Christian this is another one for our bucket list we have to come back again. Maybe we can get a private tour one day before they open."
"I will check into that angel."
Magnificent chandeliers and paintings
"Come along love, let's find our balcony."
"Yes Christian I am right here with you."
He just chuckles at her
"Ah here it is. Thank you Jason."
"Yes sir."
"We are going to see the Phantom of the Opera tonight."
"Oh thank you I have always wanted to see this."
They all sit down and wait for it to start. It is all in French and Ana ask Christian to explain some of it and some of it you can just watch and be fascinated just listening to it
"Oh my thank you so much, that was something to see. I will never forget this night."
"You are very welcome, all of you are."
They leave and go back to the hotel
"I have you all going to Notre Dame tomorrow. We will be leaving here at noon."
"Sounds wonderful, thank you Jacqueline. We will see you in the morning."
They all say their goodnights and go to their rooms
"Boo this was an amazing day and evening. I am so happy and tired but I would love a bubble bath with you."
Ana walks to the bathroom and starts filling the tub for them. She lights some lavender scented candles
"Um Angel, are you sure about this? I am no saint you know."
"Yes my darlin I am sure. Why wouldn't I be? I believe we can keep it clean. I trust you with my life Christian."
"Yes but it will be hard (no pun intended)."
"Do you honestly think that I would let you take my virginity in a bathtub? Or that you couldn't control yourself? Where is all the control Christian Grey always has?"
"Honestly my love it flew out the window long ago. I have no control when I am with you. All that dancing we have done and holding you so close. I will hold to my promise I won't do anything but bathe your beautiful body. If I do, you can slap me."
"Boo I am not going to slap you but I know when I say no you will stop. You are too much of a gentleman not to."
"Yes angel you are right I am but you are so tempting."
Damn woman gonna kill me
"I just want to feel close to you, my love. We can sit in the bath and talk about when we want to get married and where we want to go on our honeymoon. The sky's the limit and money is no problem for us."
"Come on angel, let's get in the tub."
He is praying he can keep his promise to her. Lord help me please. I know what my angel looks like without clothes
He takes her hand and leads her into the bathroom. They take their clothes off and Ana gets in the tub first holding his hand so she doesn't fall.
Christian goes to get in behind her
"Slide up love so I can sit behind you."
She slides up in the tub to let him sit down and then he pulls her back to him
"This is romantic and nice."
"Yes it is. When did you do this?" he moves his hand around talking about the candles
"While you were debating on whether or not you were going to bathe with me."
"Oh I was just wondering because I didn't see any candles in your hand earlier."
"They were already here."
"Ah I see now. This does feel relaxing and the candles have a soothing scent to them."
"I love you Christian so much. I hope you know how much you mean to me. As you said before there are not enough words to express my love for you. Just know that no matter what I would lay down my life for you.
I couldn't live if something happened to you. You have me as long as there is a breath in my body and then you will have me for eternity."
"My precious angel, I feel the same way. You are everything to me. My sun, moon and stars. Hell the galaxy and beyond."
"Now my love, when do you want to get married? I don't want a big wedding, just family and friends. I want to have a destination wedding in the same place we get married. Have our family and friends come and stay a few weeks with us. Then we will have a month or so to ourselves. What do you think?"
"I like the idea of a destination wedding sounds very romantic. Yes we can do that but are you sure you don't want the whole nine yards? I am happy with whatever you want, angel. I just thought you would want the fairytale wedding."
"No my darlin no fairytale wedding. I already have my prince and I don't want all the hoopla that goes into a big wedding. That is not me and I don't think it is you either."
"No love it is not me. Now when do you want to get married angel? I know you asked me but now I am asking you."
"I don't want a long drawn out engagement but I don't want to wait a long time either."
"So are we getting married next week?"
"Christian Grey, get real here now. You know your gran and granmomma will have a cow if we tell them we want to get married next week." she giggles
"Yeah I know. I thought I would ask and get your reaction. That is what I was expecting. I just wanted to hear you say."
"Well for a destination wedding it takes some time to prepare for it. We need a place to go, the venue, the catering service, flowers, rings, colors, cakes."
"Ok, ok I got it."
"Let's decide where we want to get married and then we will come with a date."
The whole time they were talking they were bathing each other as Ana turned around and washed his hair, chest and back. As he did the same with her only he did spend a little more time on her breast.
They let the water out and Christian held her hand to help her stand up so she wouldn't fall. They Stood under the shower to finish and rinse the bubbles off of them.
Christian stepped out first and got a towel for his waist and one for Ana. She took his hand and stepped out of the tub. He wrapped her up in a big fluffy towel and one for her hair.
He took his sweet time drying her off. Touchy feely much Christian…
They brushed their teeth. Christian dried her hair. They went into the bedroom and climbed into bed. Kissing goodnight and love yous. They slept until their alarm went off the next morning.
"Time to get up my love, room service has already delivered our breakfast."
"What time is it? I am so hungry I could eat a horse…not really..but I am hungry."
"It's eleven o'clock I thought I would let you sleep a little longer. Looks like we are going to be busy today with sightseeing."
"Thank you love you are so good to me."
"You are welcome now, come on get out of that bed before I crawl back in there with you and we won't be getting till some time tonight."
She gets up and walks to the bathroom. Christian just stares at her.
I guess she forgot she was naked but mercy she is beautiful. I could look at her all day.
They have eaten breakfast and are ready to head downstairs. Christian calls Jason and Dav to let them know to meet them at their door
Christian opens their door and they walk out and get on the elevator to go down and meet Jacqueline
"We might be a little earlier, it's not quite noon yet."
"She is probably down there. Let me call her."
"Good morning Jacqueline, we will be in the lobby in a few minutes. Are you already here?"
"Yes and good morning. I just walked in the door."
"Ok bye see you in a few."
Dav clicked off his off phone
"She just walked in the door."
"Good and wow, perfect timing."
"Yes it is."
"Good morning everyone. Have you all had breakfast?"
"Good morning and yes we have. We are raring to go."
"Wonderful the cars are waiting outside for us. We are going to Notre-Dame first and then Sainte- Chapelle. later we are taking a Cruise on a boat riding down the River Seine."
"Oh that sounds delightful. Oh one question, are we dressed appropriately for the Notre-Dame visit and Sainte- Chapelle?"
"Yes you all are fine. I would have said something in the hotel if you weren't. Thank you for asking though."
"I just wanted to make sure. Will we change before we take the cruise?"
"No, no you all will be fine and they will have dinner on the cruise."
"Alright any more questions are we ready to get this tour under way?"
"I am more than ready."
"You heard my lady she is ready and as she says "time's a wastin".
"Alright then let's go by all means."
They all get in the cars and first stop is Notre-Dame
"Oh my word this place is absolutely breathtaking."
"Yes my angel it surely is, wow what a place."
"Come along and I will tell you a little about it."
As the walk along Jacqueline starts to tell them some of the history of Notre-Dame and the Hunchback of Notre-Dame
"Notre-Dame is over eight hundred years old. They began construction on it in the year eleven sixty three on Ile de la Cite, under the reign of King Louis Vll, and the cathedral was largely completed by the year thirteen forty five. Although many modifications and additions were made over the following centuries. It is one of the oldest and most well-known cathedrals in the world."
"Notre-Dame Cathedral, referred to as Notre-Dame de Paris ("Our Lady") or simply Notre-Dame stands as a testament to the history and faith on the eastern half of Ile de La Cite, an island in the Seine River within Paris, France's fourth arrondissement. This Catholic cathedral is renowned for its stunning French Gothic architecture and holds a special place in the hearts of Parisians and visitors and is dedicated to the Virgin Mary,"
"Let's walk on in shall we?"
"Yes, this is so interesting. I learned some of this in school but it is something else to hear you talk about it and especially see it."
"They started construction between the twelfth and fourteenth centuries."
"You will see breathtaking stained glass windows, elaborate stone carvings and soaring spires which reach heights of over one hundred meters."
"Ok now we are going in and it will be so magnificent it will take your breath."
"Oh my what a sight to see. This is absolutely breathtaking Christian. My lord this is phenomenal it really is."
"Yes love it is. Look at all the art work we can see. The beautiful vaults and chandeliers."
"I know, look at the beautiful stained windows. There are pews you can sit down at and pray and look around."
"Ana I know you and Christian can't walk to the top to go see the towers and the bell. It is four hundred and twenty two steps up a staircase. It is a beautiful sight to see but I wouldn't ask you two to go up there."
"What else is up there that you can see? I am curious now but no we won't try the stairs this time."
"Well as I said you can see the bells and you would be able to see where the Hunchback of Notre-Dame lived. That is true, you know?"
"There are gargoyles up there and you have a panoramic view of Paris as far as you can see. It is really amazing."
"We will take your word for it and visit another time."
"Would anyone like to go up there?"
They all say a fast no not right now
"Well then let us head back to the cars and be on our way to the Saints-Chapelle shall we?"
"Yes, I am most excited to see it. I have heard a lot about it."
They get back in their cars and make their way over to the Sainte-Chapelle
They arrive at their destination and get out of the cars and make their way to the Chapelle
"I will tell you all now before we go in. There is a spiral staircase that is narrow and it's fifty steps up to the upper chapel to get the first glimpse of fifty foot stained glass windows. It is an amazing sight to see."
"Any volunteers want to go up and take some pictures? You don't have to if you would rather not climb fifty steps."
"Sawyer and I want to go up."
"Are you two sure?"
"Yes Ana, it is a climb but we are fit men and I would love to take some pictures for you and my mom."
"Alright but be careful. Jacqueline said the staircase is narrow and y'all are big men."
"We will take our time. Anyone else want to join us?"
"Gail wants to go but she isn't sure."
"No you all go on, I will just look at the pictures when you get back. I am getting too old to climb stairs."
"Old oh come on woman you ain't that old. I am not going to ask how old you are but you ain't that old."
They all laugh
"Maybe next time boys have fun, be careful."
"I'll give you some history of the chapel while we wait on them.
The Sainte-Chapelle is a royal chapel in the Gothic style, with the medieval Palais de La Cite in the River Seine in Paris. It began construction sometime after the year twelve thirty eight and the chapel was consecrated on April twelve forty eight."
"Wow, I didn't know that."
"Precious vestige of the royal palace of the city to house the most prestigious relic of the Passion of Christ: the Crown of Thorns and a fragment of the True Cross."
"They nicknamed Sainte-Chapelle the "jewel box" church. Just about everywhere you look the entire church is almost made out of stained-glass, the stone walls are serving as framework for all the delicate glass."
"Oh my Boo this is so beautiful, look at all the pinks, purples and blues looking so amazing in the sunlight shining through the beautiful intricate designs."
"I see my angel, I see it and yes it is beautiful."
"Here come the guys."
"Did you make it to the top?"
"Yes Ana, we did and we got you all some really good pictures. You can look at them on the way over to the cruise."
"Oh thank you both so much."
"Well let us be heading that way. It won't be long before they have dinner and I am sure by now you all are famished? I know I am. Those snacks only go so far."
"Yes ma'am I agree with you."
They walk to the cars and are on their way to the boat
"What is the cost of this cruise Jacqueline for later so I will know?"
"There is none, Dav it has already been taken care of with the tour."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes Dav it was all taken care of. You paid me more than enough and this is my treat for you all."
She whispers to him and it is your last night here so be good. Like I said, it is covered by my friend."
"Oh alright thank you."
"You are most welcome, just come back and see me when you can stay longer."
"I will do that and I have a feeling we will be back this way before too long. But I hope Missy decides to wait until her leg is completely healed. Breaking a femur ain't no fun."
"Oh my god is that what she broke? I never heard what it was."
"Yeah her femur and her leg and Chris had to have back surgery. They are both doing really well but I still worry about them."
"Oh course you do. You have been with Ana for years. How is her business doing?"
"Oh my lord girl you wouldn't believe it, she is making money hand over fist and she has plants all over now."
"Yes I didn't doubt that. I know I have heard Ray talk to dad and he said she is into government work too. I know she brought down the culprits that tried to ruin Christian. Ray told dad all about how she did it."
"Yes she is one smart cookie. She is giving up government jobs now she is marrying Chris."
"Does he want to?"
"Yes she does and you remember her friend from back home Paula Donovan?"
"Yes I do. What about her is she ok?"
"Oh yes she is fine she is giving up the FBI and going to be working with Ana."
"Well I be damn, now what is her reason for retiring from there so early?"
"I think she has fallen in love with Christians brother Elliot. He is a few years older than Chris and one helluva guy."
"Wow well I hope they can make a go of it. What does Elliot do?"
"He is the owner of Grey Construction and he is well off but not in league with Chris and nowhere near Ana."
"That's good at least she won't get someone that lives off her. I know Ana is beyond rich, how is Christian handling it?"
"He asked her to marry him after she told him how much she was worth and what all she owned. He wasn't worried about it and he asked her right then to marry him. She told him yes as you know you saw the ring. He said he told her money wasn't what he cared about and he only wanted her."
"Oh my goodness that is awesome. I hope it lasts."
"Oh I am sure it will, Ana won't marry just to divorce down the road."
"I can see how much in love they are."
"Yeah they knew each other as kids and drifted years ago but now they are back together going on three years."
"Oh my that is amazing. Come on, we better get a move on before they shoot us."
They both laugh
"We have been sitting here for a little while."
"I see the boat has just arrived, we can go and get on it now."
"Alright let's go. Good talking to you."
"Yes it was and like I said don't be a stranger."
"I won't, I promise. I guess you don't have a significant other?"
"No Dav and I am guessing you don't either?"
"No ma'am I sure don't. You know in this line of work it is kinda hard."
"Yes I know. We can talk on the boat come on before Mr. Hurry comes after us."
"You have that so right."
They all get out of the cars and make their way over to Jacqueline and Dav
"This is a private tour and boat cruise. I didn't want a lot of people disturbing you all."
"Well thank you but it would have been alright."
"I don't believe you would want standing room only on a cruise would you?"
"Oh lordy mercy no. Thank you girl."
"My pleasure now, come on, let's go for a ride that you all will never forget."
"What are you talking about? This whole tour has been something we will never forget and you."
"Thank you for the flowers. I appreciate that."
"You are most welcome."
They walk over to the boat and wait for it to dock
"Come on aboard everyone. Let's get this ship on the water."
"Thank you sir. We appreciate this so much."
"Young lady, you are more than welcome. I am Captain John Luke Bastone."
"Well very nice to meet you sir. I am Anastasia Steele. This is my fiancée Christian Grey and our family. I will introduce everyone once we are on board and moving."
"Very well Ms. Ana, shall we shove off?"
"By all means Captain."
"What will we all see as cruise Jacqueline?"
"A lot of what you have already seen but from different views and some you haven't seen yet. Let's ride and I will tell you as you point the places out."
"Oh I like that, that way I won't be looking for it."
"Precisely right, leave some to the imagination."
"Yes you are right."
"Oh I see the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre. What is that?"
"That is the Invalides and that is the Palais Bourbon."
"Oh wow lovely and there is a Palace named Bourbon?"
"Yes ma'am sure is."
"What is that over yonder?"
"Yonder? That is a term I haven't heard in years, "That is the Conciergerie and that over there is the Orsay Museum."
"Boo look at all of this."
"I am angel , I see everything you see. I was just talking to the guys and letting you get your feel of everything."
"Thank you my love but I want you over here now."
"Yes ma'am."
"Jacqueline, what is that building over there? I can't make it out."
"Christian that is the Cathédrale of Notre-Dame."
"Oh my how could I not make that out?"
"It's ok Boo I couldn't make out a few either. Maybe we need glasses in our old age."
"Yeah speak for yourself I don't need spectacles."
He whispers to her that she could wear them and be his sexy librarian
"Oh my goodness, it sounds interesting, my love."
"Thought it might."
"Dinner is going to be served in about ten minutes if everyone would take a seat please?"
"Yes ma'am and your name is?"
"I am sorry my name is Maria and I will be one of your servers tonight. There will be a few more of us since we have quite a large party on board."
"Thank you."
"Christian these seats are so comfortable and the view is absolutely amazing. I am so glad that Jacqueline booked this for all of us."
"Yes love I am too."
"I hope what you like our chef has prepared for you all. We have a menu for you all."
They pass out the menu and everyone decides on what they want
They all decide on Label Rouge Salmon Steak, creamed spinach, sweet almond butter, Roasted Asparagus and Fennel and Citrus Salsa with a garden vegetables
For dessert they chose Rum Baba
"That was absolutely delicious and I couldn't eat another bite."
"Yes angel it was very good. I am glad they had the Annie Rose Pink Champagne. It was very good also."
"Yes love it was. Champagne bubbles still tickle my nose." she giggles
"Yes I noticed that."
"How did you like the cruise? What is worth the ride?"
"Oh my goodness it was amazing. Thank you. I loved being out here at night and seeing all the sights and the lights. I am going to miss this place but make no mistake we will be back when we are both hundred and ten percent so we can climb those stairs."
"Good, good I am sure you will. It has been a pleasure meeting you all and getting to know Ray's daughter better."
"We will have to do this again but as friends not as a tour guide. Yes?"
"Yes and we have one more place tomorrow and you will love it."
"Oh where are we going?"
"That is a surprise."
"Alright then be that way."
"You will love it, believe me."
Their boat cruise is almost over and Ana ask for their wait staff to come to their tables
"We really enjoyed all of you being so attentive and keeping our drinks filled and asking if we needed anything. So this is for each of you."
"Thank you so much, we are glad you enjoyed all of it."
"Yes we enjoyed all of it thank you."
The boat docked and they made their way back to the hotel.
"We will see you in the morning goodnight Jacqueline and thank you for today. It has been amazing."
"You are more than welcome."
They all get out of the cars and walk inside and go to their rooms
"Ana and I are going out for breakfast in the morning. You all decide who is coming with us. There is a little cafe I saw that I want to try. We will be leaving around nine o'clock."
"Very well see you in the morning goodnight. I will call you and let you know who will be with you both."
"Thank you and goodnight all."
Well that is all for chapter 2. I hope you like it. Now they will be leaving in the morning as a surprise to Ana and going to the villa for a few days and then off to Rome.
Thank you for the reviews I have gotten. fanfiction is still messed up…Oh well maybe one day it will get right.
I will say now I have never been to any of these places I have written about. I got the information from Google and looking at pictures, putting most of it in my own words.
Chapter 3 will be up soon thank you again and enjoy their journeys
