Thank you all for the wonderful reviews. You all make my day. I look forward to waking up and seeing them in my email. Thank you for your support and staying with me as I continue writing from my thoughts and imagination.
This is for all of you.
They arrived in Paris three hours ago and checked into their hotel and now they are waiting on Jacqueline to arrive for their sightseeing tour.
"Ana, Chris I just got a text from Jacqueline that she will meet us downstairs. I already have the bus out front for everyone."
"Alright thank you Dav. Will you and Nick let everyone know we are ready to go."
"Yes ma'am I am knocking on doors now."
"Alright just knock on our door when you have everyone."
"Will do Ana."
They take three elevators down to the first floor. Jacqueline is waiting on them at the front desk.
"Jacqueline, so good to see you hun. How have you been?"
"Hello Ana I have been doing well thank you and how are you and Chris doing?"
"We are wonderful. Married life is great. I couldn't ask for anyone better than my Boo."
"Hello Chris, good to see you."
"Hello Jacqueline good to see you as well."
"As I live and breathe this cannot be little Jackie?"
"Oh my goodness Ray how are you? It is so good to see you. Mom and dad will be happy to see you too. They are here."
"Little Jackie has grown up just like my Annie has."
"Yes I have and I am little like Annie is."
"Yes you have some height on her and you are still as pretty as that little doll you used to carry around every time I would see you with your parents."
"Well uncle Ray, I still have that dolly at home."
"Really I remember you drug that poor doll all over the place."
"Wow I forgot about that. I drug that poor dolly through the mud after it rained. Do you remember her name?"
"Yep it was Sally right?"
"Yes it was."
She gives him a big hug.
"Jackie let me introduce you to the rest of our family."
"We will step forward when Ana calls our names. That will make it easier for you."
"Ok that was Sadie, my grandmother and she goes by granmomma. This is Adele, Christian's grandmother and she goes by gran and this is his grandfather Theo and we call him grandpa."
"Over here to my right is someone you already know. Step up girl."
"Paula Donovan, well I'll be damned. Haven't seen you in a long time. How are you doing my friend?"
Paula walks over and hugs Jackie.
"Girl I am doing great and it is good to see you too."
"This is Elliot, Christian's older brother."
"Nice to meet you Jacqueline."
"Nice to meet you Elliot, please call me Jackie."
"Alright now everyone please line up so I can finish our family names."
"This is Dr. Maxwell and Naomi Richardson, Dr. Troy and Allison Wiingate, Dr. Perry and Beverly Tate. Jackie, these are the doctors that saved our lives after the bomb explosion."
"Oh wow, very nice to meet you all. Yes they both talked about you all so much I feel like I know you."
"Nice to meet you ma'am."
"This is another best friend of mine, Maddie Johnson and her fiancée Randall Devers."
"Johnson, are you who I think you are?"
"Yes but please don't say it out loud. I am sure Annie told you when they were here before."
"Yes hun she did and she said he was a great help to them. Very nice to meet you and your fiancée."
"Jackie, this line is my FBI friends and family. This is Jennifer Barrows, Cora Dawson and Derrick Morris."
"Very nice to meet you all."
"Now last but not least this group are the ones we asked to work with our doctors and their wives. They are ex military doctors and nurses. They will all be traveling to different countries working with Doctors Without Borders in the few weeks. We are very proud of each and everyone of them."
"This is Dr. Laura Bailey, Nurse Connie Baxter, Dr. Weldon Harris, Nurse Karen Owens, Nurse Jackie Day, Dr. Cole Stevens, Nurse Stacy Knight, Nurse Amanda Jones and Dr. Judy Styles."
"Very nice to meet you all."
"Yes, nice to meet you as well."
They all say.
"Would anyone like something to drink or would you rather wait until we get on the bus? I am sure after all that talking everyone's throat is a little dry especially yours Ana."
"I am fine for now but a cold bottle of water will be wonderful. Let's load up, we have beverages on the bus."
They all walk outside and get on the bus.
"My goodness Ana this is gorgeous."
"Well thank you but I can't take all the credit for it. Bradley helped a lot with the design after Christian and I told him we wanted."
"Well Bradley you did very well I must say."
"Thank you Jackie, I appreciate that."
"Jacqueline, what are we going to see first?"
"Well granmomma and gran, I think I am going to take you all on a tour of the Eiffel Tower. Would you all like that?"
"Yes ma'am we sure would."
"Alright then Bradley turn right here and then take next left then second right and please park to the left side. You will see where the bus parking is marked."
"Alright Jackie got it."
They ride for a few more miles then Dav turns into the parking lot for the bus parking.
"We have buses here that will take us to the entrance."
"Thank the lord for that because I would never have made it walking."
"OH lord no gran we would have gotten a car for you all."
"Alright, here comes the buses. Half will be on this one and half on the other one. I am sure you will all be safe with all this muscle we have with us."
"We better be or something is wrong in Denmark."
"Well said gran, well said."
"We will protect you all with our lives and you all know this."
"Yes Dav we know I am just pulling everyone's leg."
"Annie Rose, you Chris, Jason and Gail have been here right?"
"Yes ma'am we have and it is beautiful when you get to the top."
"Well Jackie come on, you are riding with us. You can tell us more about this amazing tower on the way to it."
"Alright gran come on we will help you all on the bus."
"Thank you dear."
Everyone was on the bus and on the way to the Eiffel Tower.
"The Eiffel Tower was built by Gustave Eiffel for the 1889 Exposition Universelle, which was to celebrate the 100th year anniversary of the French Revolution. It was built between 1887 and 1889."
"Oh my I remember reading about that in books. Now I know there is an elevator but there are also steps. I don't remember how many steps there are though."
"Granmomma yes you are right and there are 1665 steps to the top."
"Lordy mercy I would hate to have climb those steps. I wouldn't even make it halfway."
"Some of the security guys did when they were last time."
"Oh my goodness. I bet Annie Rose would have done it if not for her leg."
"Yes she said she would have but neither of them could make that climb and doubt they will today either.
'Well we are going to use the elevator today so no worries about either or anyone else walking up those steps. That is unless someone just wants to."
She looks at the group that is with them.
No one said they wanted to climb the steps.
"Ok so no one here right?"
"That's right, no one wants to tackle those steps."
They all laugh.
"Well let's wait and ask the other group and see what they say."
The bus stops at the front entrance and the guys help the ladies off first.
The other bus pulls up and everyone gets off.
"Jackie just page us when you are ready to go back."
"Ok Paul I will thank you both."
The drivers drove off to pick up more people and the group followed Jackie into the entrance.
"Harold, good day, how are you?"
"Ms Jacqueline I am well thank you and how are you my dear?"
"I am well thank you. I have the Trevelyan's here for their private tour of the Eiffel Tower. Do you have them listed correct?"
"Now young lady have I ever let you down?"
"No Paul you have not. Thank you, we will proceed. My group on the bus is taking the elevators. How about Ana's group?"
"Oh we are all taking the elevators. I am not walking up over 1600 steps. No ma'am not me."
"Well I assume Elliot speaks for everyone?"
"Yes he does."
Paula tells her.
"Alright there we can not all go up at one time in the elevator. This is going to take two trips."
"That is fine, half the security goes up with the first group and half the security will go with the second group problem solved."
"Yes Elliot, that is what we are going to do thank you."
Elliot just nods and has a big smile on his face like he won the lottery or something.
They all made it to the top. Took a little while because you can't ride the first elevators all the way to the very top. You have to take another elevator to the summit.
"Oh Annie Rose, would you look at this view? Thank you and Chris so much for bringing me here to see this. I have always wanted to visit Paris and see this amazing landmark." She cries because she is so happy.
"Oh granmomma please don't cry. We wanted you with us. We wanted all of you to experience this."
Christian is holding granmomma in his arms and talking softly to her.
"Come on Sadie, let's have a look around and see what we can see from up here?"
"Come on granmomma I'll walk with you two lovely ladies."
"Elliot thank you son."
They walk around the summit on the third level.
"Adele look at all these magnificent places. Jackie, what are we looking at hun?"
"You are looking at Trocadero Square and gardens. There is the Palais Chaillot and its museums. If you look this way you will see Champs de Mars, there is Sacre-Coeur Basilica. Look here ladies and gentlemen, that is the golden dome of Les Invalides, it's the most recognizable monument in the city, especially from up here."
"Wow these are amazing sights to see from here. Now what is that over yonder?"
Granmomma points past the dome.
"Over yonder lordy mercy granmomma I haven't heard that word in a long time. Now that is the Arc De Triomphe and the Seine River."
"Thank you, thank you both for taking us on this wonderful journey Chris and Annie Rose. This is a dream come true for me and I imagine for everyone else too."
They all agree with granmomma and say yes it is.
"If you all are ready to go down I have a special treat for everyone."
They do as they did before half now half next going down the elevators to the first level.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we are dining at Madame Brasserie. We have the restaurant to ourselves. It is closed for our private tour."
"Oh wow you did the same thing to us last time Jackie. Thank you and I can't wait to try the food here."
"Well it wasn't just me it was your dad that arranged it this time."
"Daddy you did this? Thank you."
"Yes I did sweetheart now let us go and enjoy our dinner."
They walk in and see the most elegant dining room. The tables are draped in blush pink table cloths with vases of blush pink and white roses. There are dusty pink curtains on each side of the towering windows so you have a wonderful view of Paris. There is soft music playing.
"Hello Alessia, how are you doing today?"
"Hello Ms. Jacqueline I am well thank you and you and the family?"
"We are well thank you hun. I have the Steele party with me."
"Hello and welcome all . If you will follow me I will show you to your tables."
"Your waitresses will be with you all momentarily. If I might have your beverage order they will bring that out now."
"We would like glasses of your best house wine please."
"Yes sir and thank you."
They are sitting there talking about what they have seen so far.
"Jackie, are we going to visit any of the places we saw up top?"
"Yes ma'am we are but not all of them today."
"Alright thank you hun."
They hear talking and look around and Ray sees his old friend and his wife walking toward their table.
"Oh my god you old dog I never thought you would be in Paris again. How are you Ray, Ray?"
"Who are you calling an old dog you old horse? I am doing good man and how are you? How are you doing Gloria?"
"Ray, I am doing very well, thank you for asking."
"Ray life is good and I am doing well. It is so good to see you. It's been a long time."
"Yes Gloria it has. Now I would like to introduce you to my daughter Anastasia and her husband Christian Trevelyan. This lovely lady beside me is Granmomma Sadie, my mother-in-law. This lovely lady is Christian's grandmother Adele and his grandfather Theo beside him is Elliot Christian's brother and this lovely lady is Paula she is Annie's best friend. This lovely lady is Gail, a very dear friend and her boyfriend Jason, also Christian's CPO. You know Bradley and at this table are Annie's friends and FBI agents. I will let them introduce themselves to y'all. These wonderful people here at the last two tables are Doctors and nurses all security. They are going to work with Doctors Without Borders in a few weeks. We are so proud of all of them."
"Everyone, I would like for you all to meet some very dear friends of mine that I haven't seen in quite a while. This is Jacqueline's mom and dad. Randolph and Gloria Dupree."
"It is so very nice to finally meet you both daddy has told me so much about you and Jackie and I spoke about you all when we were here last time."
"Anastasia, it is so nice to finally meet you young lady. I am so happy that you got that old dog out of the house."
"Here you go again you old horse."
"Oh hush both of you old dogs."
"Yes ma'am."
They both say and everyone laughs at them.
"Anastasia it is a pleasure to meet you dear. I feel like I already know you. Your dad keeps us up to date on what is happening with you all. We are terribly sorry that we couldn't make it to your wedding but we had other obligations prior to your invitations. We do however have a wedding gift for both of you."
"Oh no apology needed we understood and thank you. Please call me Ana."
"Christian very nice to meet you young man."
"You as well ma'am."
The servers are here with their drinks.
"Excuse us but we have everyone's wine. Dewayne please go and bring two more glasses of wine please."
"Yes Harriet I will be right back."
Everyone has their wine.
"Hello my name is Harriet and this is Dewayne, Jules, Carrie, Benny, Ashley and Martha we will be your servers. Are you all ready to order or do you need a few more minutes?"
"We are ready, thank you."
They gave their order and drank their wine. They talked about old times, especially Ray and Randolph. They got Jason and Luke talking about the time they served in the Marines.
It was a lovely dinner and the dessert was heavenly. They had a luscious strawberry cake with strawberry cream cheese icing topped with strawberries.
"Oh my goodness I am full and that was an amazing dinner. From the Lightly Grilled Sea Bass to the Beef Bourguignon. It was all excellent. I hope you all agree with me."
"Oh my yes Elliot it was an excellent dinner and the strawberry cake was so soft and fluffy it was delicious.
Ray paid the bill and left a very nice tip for everyone.
"Randolph, are you and Gloria going to tour with us?"
"Not this time Ray but enjoy yourselves. Stop by the house so we can catch up later."
"Alright I will see you both tonight. Still the same place right?"
"Yes it is."
They all left and got back on the bus for another part of their tour.
"Where to now Jackie?"
"Bradley, you remember where the Love Lock Bridge is right?"
"Yes ma'am I sure do. Is there any certain place I need to park?"
"No just park as close as you can so the ladies don't have to walk far."
Bradley parks close to the walkway for the bridge entrance and helps the ladies off the bus.
"Boo do you remember where we put our lock?"
"Yes I do, do you angel?"
"Absolutely sweetheart."
"Let's go find it."
"They walk hand and hand to the bridge and walk right to where they put their lock.
"Look angel, it is still here and about a hundred more have been added but I can see ours."
"Yes I see it too and wow you are right there are a lot more locks."
Elliot and Paula walk up to them.
"Did y'all put a lock on here?"
"Yes Paula we did and there it is."
"Well I be damn now I am going to have to go and get one for us love."
"Elliot, they have them in the souvenir shop right behind you."
"I'll be right back."
"Aww he is going to get a lock for you two."
"Hush Annie Rose."
She says and she is smiling like crazy.
Elliot walks into the shop and sees grandpa buying a lock. He doesn't say anything.
"Come here Adele my sweet. I need you to place this lock on here, be careful."
"Theo, we are too old for this."
"No love, we are never too old for this. Now put this right here and I will throw the key in the river."
"Alright you old coot give me the lock."
Gran puts the lock right beside Chris and Ana's and Theo throws the key in the Seine river.
"How sweet and romantic."
"Alright our turn now. Wait a minute grandpa did you write in it? I mean your names and date."
"Of Elliot I did."
"Ok, I was just asking. I almost forgot to."
Here Paula put this on the bridge."
She puts it on the other side of Ana's and Chris's next to the grands.
"Now all three of them are there side by side as they should be."
"Yes they are and they are perfect."
"Gran, granmomma and grandpa do you all feel like walking a little bit? We don't have to go far but if you would rather ride we can."
"How far of a walk do we have Jackie?"
"Oh it's not far as a matter of fact you can see it. We are going to Notre Dame Cathedral just a short walk."
"We can walk there hun thank you for asking."
"A little history about the Notre Dame Cathedral."
"Yes please Jackie."
"With The Eiffel Tower being the light of Paris, Notre Dame Cathedral is the spiritual heart of Paris and has been for nearly a thousand years. Notre Dame means "Our Lady" which is fitting since Parisians dedicated it to the Virgin Mary."
"Now this is interesting especially for you Elliot. The Notre Dame Cathedral is referred to as the "Forest" because the roof was made from more than thirteen thousand oak trees."
"Oh my lord, I have to see that."
"The cathedral is primarily made of limestone."
"Oh wow and from my experience Limestone is a flammable stone."
"Yes it is Elliot."
"Let's walk inside. Notre Dame is a masterpiece of Gothic architecture with flying buttresses, arches and rib vaults."
"Oh my goodness this place is breathtaking. It literally takes your breath as you walk in here. The ceilings, the paintings, the art, this is a magnificent place to visit and to come and pray."
They walked on for a while looking at paintings and artwork. Looking up at the beautiful artwork on the ceilings. The statues inside and outside the Cathedral were absolutely beyond words.
"Where to next? I think we have time for one more this evening."
"Yes Paula we do and I hope you all like it as much as Ana and Christian and their group last time did."
They get on the bus and take a ride toward the river Seine.
Ana and Christian look at each other then over to Gail and Jason they all know where Jacqueline is taking them. Oh this is going to be awesome.
The bus stops and they all get off and wait to see where Jackie is taking them.
"Well Ana and Christian, Gail and security have already had this amazing ride with a late supper. So we are going to have a nice boat ride down the river Seine and you all can see some of the sights that you will be visiting tomorrow and some that you saw today. We are going to have dessert and some wine. So I hope you all will enjoy this lovely boat ride."
"Oh my yes, let's go."
They walk over to the dock and see the big ship that is going to take them all for a nice evening ride along the river.
"Come aboard everyone. I am your Captain John Luke Bastone."
"Hello again Captain Bastone, nice to see you. In case you forgot our names, we are Anastasia and Christian Trevelyan."
"I remember you and your fiancée, how are you all doing?"
"We are fine and now we are husband and wife. Thank you for asking. We have a lot more family and friends with us on this trip. There are way too many to introduce at one time so we are going to let them speak to you when you have time to talk to them if you would like to know their names."
"Yes I will get around to speaking to everyone. We are taking a longer tour as this one is the last one for tonight.
"Oh sounds wonderful, thank you. Now let me introduce you to my father Raymond Steele. This is our grandparents Adele and Theo Trevelyan and Sadie Meeks. This is Christian's older brother Elliot Trevelyan and my best friend Paula Donovan. My second best friend Maddie Johnson and her fiancée Randall Devers."
"You remember Gail and Jason and our security I hope?"
"Yes Ms. Ana, I'm sure do and hello to you all."
"Everyone else this Captain John Luke Bastone."
"Welcome one and all. I will get around to meeting each of you before the tour is over."
They all yell nice to meet you also.
"If you all will gather around I will try to talk loud enough for everyone to hear. I am just going to show you some places that you have already seen and a few that you will see tomorrow."
"Alright can everyone hear me or do I need a megaphone?"
"I have one if you need it but it will be extremely loud."
"I am going to try to talk without it, Captain."
Everyone if you look over to the left you will see The Eiffel Tower and the Louvre. Also there is the Invalides and Palais Bourbon. We are coming up to the Concierge and that over there is the Orsay Museum."
"Oh my how lovely everything is at dusk. Nice to see that the whole city is lit up or we wouldn't be able to see all of this."
"That is true and it is so much interesting to see it this evening. There are no clouds in the sky and you have some stars already shining."
"That's the Notre Dame Cathedral over there with everything lit up."
They saw places they will see tomorrow. It's getting dark and time for dessert.
They have Rum Baba for dessert and Annie Rose Pink Champagne.
The boat cruise is over and they have returned to the dock.
"Thank you Captain Bastone for another lovely cruise we enjoyed immensely."
"You are more than welcome Ms. Ana. Always a pleasure to see you and the Mr. Christian as well as everyone else."
"Captain Bastone, thank you for a wonderful and delightful cruise. I thoroughly enjoyed it and the dessert was delicious."
"You are very welcome Ms. Sadie and thank you for the conversation. I enjoyed that a lot."
"You are quite welcome sir."
"Mr and Mrs. Trevelyan I hope you enjoyed the cruise?"
"Yes sir we did and please call us Adele and Theo."
"Very well Adele and Theo hope you have a wonderful night."
"Captain Bastone, thank you for a nice cruise. I enjoyed it. It was everything Annie told us it would be when she called us and told us about the cruise."
"Thank you very much Ray, it was my pleasure."
He spoke to everyone as they departed his boat and wished everyone a very lovely night.
They all got back on the bus and started talking about the cruise.
"Jackie, that was amazing, thank you hun so very much. I am sure I am speaking for everyone when I say it was a wonderful surprise."
They all yelled yes it was.
They arrived back at their hotel and went to the elevators.
"Jackie, what time would you like to start in the morning?"
"If it is alright with everyone I have arranged for us to be on the bus by ten o'clock."
"That is fine with us. How about you all?"
Ten is good they say.
"Alright I will meet everyone out here at ten o'clock. Goodnight all."
"Ana and I are going to order room service for breakfast in the morning. You all can too unless you prefer the dining room.
"We will see you all in the morning, have a goodnight and love you all."
They all say their goodnights and get on the elevators and go up to their rooms.
Ana and Christian walk into their room.
"Christian I had another lovely time here in Paris. It was absolutely amazing with everyone with us."
"Yes angel it was and I got to know some of the guys better especially the security doctors and nurses. They are all so excited for this journey they are fixing to go on. They can't wait to help sick people."
"Yes I know I spoke to some of them too and yes they are raring to go just like our doctors and nurses are. They said they will do their job and protect them all with their lives."
"Yes they told me the same thing and the nurses scared me with all the knowledge they know about guns. Just like you and Paula know and all your FBI friends. I am sorry, our friends."
"Yeah they have to know all that in the service. They have to train to know guns, how to take care of them, break them down and put them back together. They have to know what ammunition the gun takes and what kind of a gun it is. The same as what we went through in training for the FBI. Paula and I knew a lot already from Ray training us when we were younger.
"I believe they will all look out for each other while they are there. I am just so glad that we got them all to go. They are the best of the best not only the security but our doctors too."
She walks over and kisses him and walks to the bathroom. She takes her clothes off, washes her face, brushes her teeth, uses the bathroom, washed her hands and slips on one of Christian's t-shirts for the night.
She comes out and he kisses her and walks in the bathroom and does the same as her and comes out in just his pajama bottoms.
They both get in bed and face each other.
"I have had an amazing day and I am so glad that I get to spend each and every day with you my sweet darlin Boo. I love you so much."
"I feel the same way, angel. Yes it has been a wonderful day and I wouldn't want to spend it with anyone but you. I loved having the family and friends it was so exciting to see the looks on gran and granmomma's faces when they saw things that really amazed them."
"Yes I know and I was so happy that we were able to make their dreams come true."
"Well they will get to make some more dreams come true tomorrow. I love you my angel..
Before he could finish he started yawning and then he got Ana to yawning.
"I am tired and I know you are. Let's get some sleep love so we will be ready for tomorrow. I love you angel."
"I love you Boo goodnight love."
"Goodnight angel sweet dreams."
They kiss a few times and cuddle with Ana laying on his chest.
"I called down to the front desk and ordered breakfast for us. It will be here at nine o'clock. That way we have time for me to love you and take a shower together."
"That sounds very nice, especially the loving me part."
They fall asleep in each other's arms.
Ana wakes up moaning thinking she is dreaming. She looks down and sees Christian between her legs and she moans again and runs her hands through his hair.
He looks up at her with a smile on his face.
"Good morning my love."
"Yes it is a very good morning."
He smiles at her again and goes back down to licking her clit and pushing a finger in her wet pussy and adding another one. He is working his fingers in and out and around and then he curls his fingers and hits her g-spot and she explodes all over his fingers . He moves his mouth down quickly so he doesn't miss anymore of her sweet nectar as it flows out into his mouth. he laps it all up and kisses her nether lips and licks her clit one last time making her squirm and moan louder.
"Lord a mercy what a wake up call humm Boo that was so good."
"Yes love I loved doing that to you. I got you before you got me this time."
"Well now come up here and make love to me. I need that big hard cock in me."
"Oh my Anastasia you make cock so hard just talking dirty like that."
"I am waiting my love. Stop talking and fuck me."
He pulls her down in the bed and slides on top of her and rubs his cock over and over on her pussy and her clit. He knows she feels it and it wouldn't take much to make her come again. But he wants to be inside her when she comes and he wants to come with her.
He slides his hard cock into her velvet heat and feels how tight she still is. She sucks him in and holds him tight, squeezing him again and again. He starts to move, rocking back and forth. Taking his time wanting this to last. He slides up and down her body with his cock still in her. He moves his hips around and around and pulls away and slams into her hot wet heat.
She meets him stroke for stroke, never letting up. He pounds into her and she gives it right back pushing into him just as hard. He takes her hands and holds them on each side of her face and kisses her gently biting her bottom lip and soothing it with his tongue. He lunges his tongue into her mouth and devours her with all the love he has for her. Letting her know she is his everything and always will be. They both pick up speed and fuck each other into next week. He slides his hand down to her neck to her breasts and squeezes her nipple and licks it.
She is moaning and writhing underneath him. She is rubbing her hands up and down his back. Grabbing his ass and squeezing it. She looks up at him and smiles. He looks down at her and kisses her like his life depends on it.
"Angel, you are my life. I love you so much. You feel so good angel, so damn good. I have never felt like this before you are my world, my love."
'I love you Christian and you are my world too. I have never felt like this either. You make me feel so loved and so wanted and so needed. You are the air I breathe. Oh god yes right there don't stop. Faster Boo, faster oh…ahh..oh yessss. don't stop."
"Yes angel yesss…yesss..oh…godddd….oh..ummm…ahhh…are you ready sweetheart are you ready for me to make you come?"
"Oh yessss…yesss.. Christiannnnn…oh….yesss. come with me my darlin come with meeeee…..ohhhh…ahhhh… She is biting her lips and moaning his name.
"Ahhh…ohhhh,..ohhhh…Anaaaaaa….yessss…oh…yesssssss…Aannnnn he screams her name and all of Paris probably heard him.
"Oh my god Ana what was that? Love you are a wildcat this morning."
"My darlin you make me a wildcat damn what a wake up call."
"Oh yeah it was. Let's get a shower and breakfast will be here soon."
They climb out of bed and go take a shower without getting dirty again this morning.
They have a lovely breakfast of eggs, bacon, pancakes and a mixture of fruit coffee and juice.
"Love I am ready if you are?"
"Yes my sweet I am. I am sending out a mass text message to everyone."
"Ok they all replied they are ready. I guess we woke everyone up on this floor."
They both laugh.
"Oh well my love it was worth it and you are worth everything to me. I love you Christian so much."
"I love you angel and yes you are worth everything to me. You are my world and I will say it again and again. You are my life."
There is a knock on the door and Christian goes to see who it is.
"You ready love everyone is heading downstairs?"
"Yes, let's go."
Christian opens the door and standing there beside Dav is Elliot with a smirk on his face and Paula slapping the back of his head.
"Good morning everyone, are we ready for another lovely day?"
"Yes we are and I think someone has already started the lovely day."
Ana walks up to him and knocks him on the back of his head.
"Yes Elliot we sure did and I bet you and Paula have to."
Elliot's mouth fell open at what she said.
"Close your mouth El you don't want to get a fly in it."
They walk off laughing to the elevator.
They meet everyone outside on the bus.
"Good morning, are we all ready for a fun-filled day?"
Yes they all yell loud and clear.
"Alright then shall we get started?"
Yes they yell again like a bunch of kindergartens.
"Bradley, you have my itinerary for today right?"
"Yes ma'am I know where we are going."
"Alright let's head out."
"I hope you all like what I have prepared for you all today and since this is your last day I am going to try and get as much as I can into it for you all."
"You do your best hun no need to rush on our part. We will be happy with whatever you show us."
"Thank you gran."
Gran smiles at her.
Bradley drives the bus down the road.
"Grans this is Rue Cremieux. All the houses are painted in pastel colors and the streets are cobblestones. We walked this street for the first time here."
"The houses are lovely my dear."
"Now friends we are going to get off the bus and walk over to the Galeries Lafayette.
They all follow Jackie and security with everyone following them.
"This is the famed Boulevard Haussmann. It's a department store known for its upscale French products and stunning neo-Byzantine stained-glass cupola. As I told Ana and Christian and family before, if you come here in December you will see the world's grandest Christmas Displays."
"As we walk through the Galeries you will see upscale fashions, gourmet foods. Gorgeous art Nouveau architecture and some in-store activities."
They watch a catwalk show for a few minutes for new fashions coming out.
"This is what I wanted you to see, Elliot among other architectural places we visited. It is right up your alley."
"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."
"Yes I can see why this place is absolutely phenomenal. I would have loved to work on this place."
They walk on through the Galleries and back to the bus. They are on the move again.
"Folks this Sacre-Coeur we are not going up to the top. We have to take little cars and only two or three people at a time. The little car is called a funicular. The bottom down here is awesome to just wait till you see all the statues. Now some of you can go to the top. I'm not saying you can't but it will take all day for all of us to go up."
They arrive at the Sacre-Coeur and walk off the bus.
"Sacre-Coeur is 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. There are three hundred steps and no elevator. That is why I said that we would have to use the funicular cars."
"I think I will stay down here and look at the amazing statues I see far off."
They all walk over to the statues and see two prominent equestrian statues. One is Joan Of Arc on horseback and the other is King Saint Louis.
"Come on you all, we are going inside and looking around."
They all walk inside and look around.
"Adele, look at this place, it is breathtakingly beautiful."
"Oh my goodness yes it is Sadie. I hope the guys are taking pictures for all of us."
"Yes gran they are videoing for us."
"Good I don't miss a thing so thank you boys."
Annie Rose look here this says it represents the Sacred Heart of Jesus Christ and is the largest mosaic in France and one of the largest in the world. Oh my goodness."
They walk around looking at different writings and art.
They walk back out and continue their journey onto another sight.
"This is Parc des Buttes-Chaumont. Here you can see beautiful lakes, waterfalls. There are parks here."
"Oh this is lovely look at the waterfalls and the colors?"
"Yes they are very pretty."
"Parc des Buttes-Chaumont is an all natural alternative to Paris's more manicured rigidly formal parks. With its cliffs, lakes and waterfalls. There are rocky elevations if you would like to traipse up the rocky elevations. There you can see an amazing view of the city. We also have parks where you can walk and rest, ride a bike, have a picnic or just sit around people watching."
"Alright everyone let's go back to the bus we have a little ride ahead of us. Ana we are going to Luxembourg and everyone it is a four hour ride and you will see some beautiful countryside. So sit back, relax and enjoy the ride. We are also having a picnic when we get there."
They all talked about what they have already seen the last two days.
"Chris and Ana we have all been talking and we just don't know how to thank you both for what you are doing for all of us and what you are now. Not too many people, hell none that I know would do what you two are doing much less taking care of all of us. So we have decided that tonight before we leave we are taking care of you two. No, No, No, Nada we won't hear anything from you two. That is final. Just wait and see when we get back."
"But..
"No I said no more talking about it…shh"
The drive to Luxembourg was beautiful. They saw animals, fields, farms, and lovely country homes.
They arrive in Luxembourg and get off the bus.
"Bradley, will you and the guys grab the picnic baskets that are under the bus please and the coolers thank you?"
The group walks off and the guys follow with the picnic baskets and coolers. Looks like they are having a party. Good thing they are not walking far.
"Alright guys y'all can set everything down on these tables thank you."
"Ladies and gentlemen, we have sandwiches of every kind of meat you can think of. The plates, plasticware and napkins are here. We have fruit plates, veggie plates, dips and sauces. We have different cheeses, we have pasta, rolls, BBQue chicken and smoked salmon. There are all kinds of steamed vegetables like broccoli, asparagus, and carrots. On this table here in these coolers are tea, juices, water, lemonade and I think ice coffee. Please help yourselves."
"Now my dear friend, I didn't know you were doing this."
"Well it was Bradley's idea. He said he had to thank you. He didn't say what for. I assume you know?"
"Yes I do."
They all ate their meal and were stuffed. They sat around and laid around on the ground as people walked by them. Some of them recognized Christian and Ana but no one said anything. The security guys were on their toes watching everyone.
They got up and started walking around looking at different things with security right on their tails. They didn't want to leave unless it got to be too much.
"Grans look at these flowers. They are so vibrant and lovely. Marigolds, calendulas, salvias, petunias and marguerites. I just love this beautiful flower garden and I am going to make one when we get back home to the states."
"Yes, Annie, they are gorgeous and I bet you will make one and even prettier than this one."
"Well I don't know about prettier but I am going to try."
"Jackie, it is so peaceful and quiet here."
"Yes granmomma it is and there are a lot of people around here sightseeing just like we are."
"I see the gardens and parks are so quaint and the people are so friendly."
"Yes, the majority of the people I have met here are very nice."
"Did you all know that Luxembourg is the richest country?"
"No, we didn't know that. Please tell us about Luxembourg?"
"Well the economy of Luxembourg is largely dependent on banking, steel and the industrial sectors."
"Wow I didn't know that that is very interesting."
"Shall we continue on?"
"Yes ma'am."
"There are more than a hundred statues, fountains and monuments."
"What is this beautiful fountain called Jackie?"
"Maddie, 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."
"Oh wow thank you for that history."
They continue their stroll and they see more fountains and statues. The Bronze fountain just south of the Garden known as La Fontaine de l'Observatoire is also extraordinary. There are four women holding up the globe who were meant to represent the four parts of the world; Europe, Asia, Africa and America.
"This is 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 fully dressed statues of several French royalty, saints and artists survey the grounds. They see another statue that looks familiar to the Statue of Liberty in New York. This one is a smaller Lady Liberty.
"We can't forget that France gave us the Statue of Liberty."
"They have colorful toy sailboats that you can rent and sail them across the pond in front of the Palace, a bateaux à voiles".
"Oh wow come on bro let's go do that? It sounds like fun."
"Sure why not. Jackie, how far is it?"
"Not far just around the side of the pond to your right."
"Come on Elliot. Ray,grandpa and whoever else wants to play."
"Oh my lord come on ladies looks like all the men want to play. I want to see how many wreck with all of them getting sailboats."
"The park has something for everyone. People come here to play chess, ride ponies, tennis, basketball. They have a carousel and sometimes concerts."
"Oh you mentioned concerts. Did you and your parents get the invitations we sent to y'all for the concert we are doing here and back home in the states?"
"I don't expect you all to come to the states but the one we are having at our home in Italy. Yes we bought a home there. The one we were just going to rent for a while."
"Yes we got them and we will be there in Italy thank you for inviting us."
"You are welcome."
"Alright girls come on let's see what the men are doing?"
"Oh my god, would you look at all these sailboats? My word, how many are there in the water? Looks like all of them have a remote in their hands."
"Yes it does and look at their faces. They are so happy go lucky right now. I have to take pictures."
"Yes, me too."
"Wait Beverly you too Naomi the guys are taking pictures and Nick and Luke are videotaping them."
"We have to have copies Ana."
"Yes dear friends you will all get a copy I promise. Now put away your phones and let's watch them play."
The guys played for thirty minutes because there were other people who wanted to share in the fun.
"Did you all have fun? It sure looked like it."
"Oh angel it was awesome out there playing with everyone. No one was being rude or trying to wreck anyones sailboat. It was loads of fun."
"Well we will just have to get some for our pond at home and some for the pool at home. That way you, El and whoever wants to play you have a place to do it at."
"Angel, have I told you how much I love you and how special you are to me?"
"Yes love you have everyday and I love you."
"Ain't they just the sweetest?"
"Alright you all I have one more place for you to see then back to the hotel."
"Jardin du Luxembourg has another playful treasure: the city's largest puppet theater. There is a playground called the Ludo Jardin."
They walked over and watched a puppet show for a little while. It was in French and not many of them spoke the language. It was fun watching them. It was a farmer and his wife acting out picking veggies and throwing the bad ones away. Only they were throwing them at each other and at the end the farmer wiped his wife's face off and kissed her. So sweet.
'Time to head back. I truly hope you had a wonderful time these last two days with me as your tour guide."
"Jacqueline, we have had a marvelous time with you. Thank you hun so much and I know I speak for everyone here. Especially the guys after the day they have had with the sailboats."
"Here, here."
Could be heard all over the bus.
"Thank you all so much and I am going to miss everyone."
"Awe sweetie we are going to miss you too."
They made the ride back to the hotel. A few had fallen asleep but not all.
"Well this is it for me I will see you all at the concerts. Take care and I love you all. Bradley, will you walk me home? If it's alright with you Ana?"
"Of course he can."
"Go on Dav you are off duty. You have been a great help today thank you. Enjoy the rest of your evening. We will see you in the morning."
"Now Ana and Christian we have something very special for you two inside the dining room. Enjoy the rest of your night and we will see you all in the morning. By the way, what time are we leaving?"
"Around lunchtime I thought we would eat breakfast then lunch before we left. We will be taking some picnic snacks with us when we leave to munch on during the ride."
"Alright sounds good to us. We will see you in the morning. Goodnight you two."
"Goodnight all."
"Well angel, what are we waiting for? Come on and let's see what they have for us."
They walk into the dining room and they are seated immediately at a table up front. There is soft music playing and the table is set with a beautiful bouquet of pink and purple lilies in a gorgeous crystal vase with roses on it.
They are served Annie Rose pink champagne in crystal champagne glasses. There are two place settings with silver domes on them. The servers walk to their table.
"Sir and ma'am would you like for us to take away the domes?"
"Yes please and thank you."
They remove domes and the most heavenly smell hits their noses.
"Oh my goodness Christian we are having prime rib with twiced baked potatoes and a garden salad. This looks delicious."
"Yes angel it does. Thank you both, you can leave us for now."
"Yes sir enjoy your supper and if you need anything just yell because we do not want to disturb either of you."
"Yes we will and thank you."
The servers walk off and they taste their food.
"Oh mercy Boo this is cooked to perfection. What are we going to do with all of them? They are just too much."
"I believe they are saying that about us too."
"Yes you are right."
"Oh my this food was delicious and I can't eat another bite. I am going to have to workout in the gym after this trip."
"Oh love you look just fine to me."
"Thank you, love. You always know what to say to make me feel good."
"I try angel."
The servers walked out and took their plates after Christian signaled for them by raising his hand instead of yelling.
"Would you like dessert? We have chocolate cake and strawberry cake."
"As a matter of fact, yes bring it please and decaf coffee for both of us thank you."
"Yes ma'am we will have that right out for you."
They ate their cake and fed each other bites of their own. Christian had chocolate of course and Ana had her strawberry cake.
The dessert plates were taken away.
"Mr and Mrs. Trevelyan please stay seated for a moment thank you."
"What in the world is going on now? I hear music. Oh my lord no way, no they didn't? Granmomma told them he was my favorite singer of all time. I know you are not crazy or into country music but this man is a legend. He is the king of country music where Elvis Presley was the king of Rock and Roll. His name is George Strait. I wa just a baby when this song came out but over the years daddy and granmomma are huge fans of country music and I listened to this song of his and it has so much meaning and I felt like when I was on my two year find myself that I would listen to this song over and over and think of you. Think of you and me, me and you. Just listen to the words my love.
The curtains open and the music starts, then he starts singing her favorite song. "I Cross My Heart"
Our love is unconditional
We knew it from the start
I see in your eyes
You can feel it from heart
From here on after
Let's stay the way we are right now
And share all the love and laughter
That a lifetime will allow
I cross my heart
And promise to
Give all I've got to give
To make all your dreams come true
In all the world
You'll never find
A love as true as mine
You will always be the miracle
That makes my life complete
As long as there's a breath in me
I'll make yours just as sweet
As we look into the future
It's as far as we can see
So let's make each tomorrow
Be the best that it can be
I cross my heart
And promise to
Give all I've got to give
To make all your dreams come true
In all the world
You'll never find
A love as true as mine
And if along the way, we find a day
It starts to storm
You've got the promise of my love
To keep you warm
In all the world
You'll never find
A love as true as mine
A love as true as mine
After he finishes the song Ana has tears in her eyes and Christian is a little teary eyed too.
George sees this and changes up his song and sings another one "Amarillo By Morning" Then he sings "Check Yes or No", "The Chair" and finally "I Just Want To Dance With You."
"Come on, you two dance to this song.
"Well now we can't refuse George Strait my angel."
Christian holds his hand out for Ana and they start to dance around the tables to the small dance floor next to the stage. He swings her around and they are both laughing and so happy right now. They start dancing and this is not ballroom dancing this is night club dancing where you swing your partner around and around and hold her tight. The song has ended and Ana just stands there looking at George Strait.
"Mr. Strait, thank you that first song was amazing. Ana told me it was her favorite and I can see why it is a beautiful song with a lot of meaning. By the way Christian Trevelyan and this is my wife Anastasia. I am sure you already knew that but manners are hard to break."
"Very nice to meet you young man. I have heard a lot about you two from her granmomma Sadie and her father Ray. I met all of your family last night when I got here. Very nice group of people. I know all about everything that happened to y'all. I was sorry to hear that but I am so thankful that you both are doing better now and everything has been taken care of. I am sure there is more to the story but you know how the news is?"
"Ana are you going to say hello to Mr. Strait?"
She just looks at Christian and then back at Mr. Strait.
"Ana, angel."
"Mrs. Trevelyan, how are you doing tonight?"
"Oh my god I am so sorry."
She has to take a few deep breaths.
"I am doing awesome, thank you and you sir?"
"I am doing great Mrs. Trevelyan thank you."
"Ok enough of Mrs. I am Ana and this is Christian. Oh my god you are here and you were singing to me to us."
"Yes Ana I am and I was. I heard that I was your favorite country music singer and well after everything that happened to you two as I was told Christian I know everything from the news and y'alls family told me some of it. I am so glad that you both are doing better and congratulations on your marriage. I hope you will be as happy as my wife and I."
"Thank you Mr. Strait I do love your songs and I Cross MY Heart is my favorite. Oh my lord I still can't believe you are here in front of me."
They all laugh and Christian has never seen her tongue tied ever.
"Please call me George and thank you for being my number one fan. By the way I will be performing in Italy for you and then back in the states when you have dates for them. No matter what I am doing I will be at both of them and the proceeds for me being there and from my souvenir sales will be donated to your cause."
"Oh my word, thank you so much. You are very kind."
"Don't mention it, it is my pleasure. Now tell me where you two young people learned to dance like that?"
"It just came easy to us. We are so used to going to galas and parties. We have always liked to change it up and dance differently. Ballroom dancing gets boring after a while."
"Don't I know it. Norma and I like to go to the country bars and dance every once in a while. You know, get out there and cut a rug like you two did."
"May I ask when you are leaving? We are having breakfast here in the dining room in the morning before we get ready to go home. Would you like to join us?"
"Thank you Ana I would like to and I have my band with me."
"Everyone is welcome to join us. The hotel is closed off for just us. So no one will bother any of us."
"That is very kind of you. We will go back to the bus and sleep tonight."
"Oh no sir we can't have that. I will check and see if there are any rooms available y'all are not sleeping in a bus and I know the bus isn't yours."
"Very well I would like a room and my four guys need only two they can share like they always do."
"Ok I'll be right back."
She walks away.
"Is she always like that? I mean demanding and sweet at the same time."
"Yes sir and you don't know the half of it. You do know she was an FBI Captain before we got married. She is one tough cookie but I love her dearly. She is my world."
"Yes I knew that from the news and then Ray telling me about her and she was the one that cracked everything open and saved your billions. She is so tiny but size doesn't matter."
"Yes she is but she can take me down and any of our bodyguards. I have seen her do it. She put a five foot seven woman on her butt twice and last year she put another one on her ass twice and messed up the other woman's face up when she fell on her face. The other woman was one of the ones that tried to kill us."
"Wow what a woman you have there."
"Yeah she got to both of them before any of us could step in or stop her."
"You are in luck, they have plenty of rooms if the guys would like separate rooms. The rooms are taken care of."
"Well that is very nice of you Ana and my guys will appreciate that they don't have to sleep in a room with a guy snoring all night."
They all laugh.
"Well goodnight George and we will see you all in the morning. We will have breakfast at nine unless you have to leave earlier?"
No, that is fine there is no rush. We are on my private jet."
"Alright then we will see you in the morning. Just ask the desk clerk for your room keys."
"Goodnight Ana and Christian."

Well another chapter written I hope you all like it and George Strait is my favorite country music singer and I Cross My Heart is my favorite country song by him.
Wow George Strait, where will my imagination take me next? I had a chance to meet him backstage in Nashville ten years ago but I fell and broke my foot and was in the hospital so I had to give my ticket to my brother and he went with my best friend and she rode the bus all the way from South Georgia up to Nashville, Tennessee. True story.
I hope you liked my choices for songs. I felt like they were perfect for them.
Next chapter 20 next week
