Love in Paris

I remember sitting in the back seat of my Father's brand new shiny 79' Ford driving over the huge bridge inside the car my younger brother to my left and older sister to my right with me in the middle swinging my feet from side to side in my shiny penny loafers looking out at the blue crimson waters over the Siene river.

"Paris is such a Beautiful city" my Mother say as she puts the bobby pin to hold her bun in place and continue to laugh at my Father's jokes.

I Remember the songs song and memories created on that road trip it was one of the best moments in my childhood I reflect on as I stand over this same bridge looking out at the crimson blue waters as I did in my youth now in my adolescence.

I notice not much has changed but me I have matured so much over the years with curves and cleavage to go with it I say to myself while adjusting the chanel blazer I am wearing to Dinner this evening.

"Bon jour Madame" the small Parisian man said a

"Bon jour Sir' I say to the small Parisian man before stepping off the boat into the crowd of people now filling up the tables in the square about to have dinner while taking in the scenic views of the lovely Eiffel Tower blinking in the background.

Enjoying a sip of champagne from the server while still looking around at the social atmosphere of the room before being seated I see Him again.

"Are you here with anyone" he asks me as he leans in and I get a smell of the cologne he is wearing.

I remember at the airport seeing him for the first time that olive skin and green eyes had me memorized and then the cologne added to it that was him indeed now my stomach had all kinds of butterflies in it but I kept my calm exterior.

"No but I did come here to find Love" I say twinkling my eyes he had that effect on me.

"Well maybe you have to look no further,can I have this dance," he says to me with his arm outreached to mine as I stand up and he sweep me off my feet the chemistry between us is dynamic as the crowd become our audience clapping and rooting at

our romantic engagement.

"Bravo, Bravo,Bravo" chants from the crowded room as we take to our seats and order more champagne.

"You was amazing out there I didn't know U had it in you" he said hitting his wine glass in a toast to mine.

"Yes practice makes perfect I am a proud student of Madame Claiborn" I say taking a sip letting it roll off my tongue.

"The Claiborn Dance Company oh my that's quite impressive" he says now with a his attention on my cleavage.

"Did you find what U was looking for" I ask in a flirty tone.

"If I say Yes can I take it home" he replies unfaded by me and on point I loved the word play it was turning me on.

Wrapped together held in a tight embrace,exhausted from the numerous rounds of sex we just made in his hotel room listening to him snore as I watch the glow of the Eiffel Tower I feel such estacy.

As much as I wanted to stay there I couldn't I knew in time how it would end up as once he found out my secret and want to know like all the others I refuse to tell,I thought while collecting my things and trying not to awaken him as I walked out the room and down the long hallway searching for a light as I entered the huge bathroom.

"Elizabeth, Elizabeth,noooo Elizabeth don't let go" I remember the voice it takes me back to that time.

"Hold on Natalie,Please they are coming" I say clutching my big sister hand as tight as I could on that bridge with me trying to pull her back up in the car that was hanging off the bridge.

"I can't anymore this hurt Mommy, Daddy, Cliff is gone Elizabeth what will we do" she says screaming louder and loosening her grip.

"Us that's who left don't let go please Natalie" I say now the vision there like it was that fateful day I remember it all over again.

"Elizabeth" arms wailing,dress up in air as she faded into the sea with a splash.

"Natalie,noooo"why she let me go I cry out in anguish and can't stop myself.

"hey,hey what's going on hunny" he rushes to my side but I am embarrassed I didn't want to let him see me like this.

"Sorry' I say putting on my jeans forgetting my underwear just in a rush to get out.

"Who is Natalie you can talk to me don't run" he said trying to calm me but it was to late I was already out his door and on my way to the elevators.

I still couldn't come to terms with that part of my life and for that I don't think I would ever find Love every time I could sense it the pain of remembering was there as well.

After talking to my Therapist I decided to go for a jog before the art gallery event I was attending later started but once I looked out the window at the gloomy sky I could see the rain had other plans so I would stay in listening to Bach while sipping some red wine.

The phone ringing startled me who could have my hotel number I had no family anymore or friends here.

"Bon jour Madame we have a guest request to see you in the lobby" the hotel attendant said

"Bon jour Sir' please tell the guest to leave please thank U" I said not giving it any thought as I pour another glass fuller this time.

"What in the hell" getting slightly frustrated after having got cozy to get up for room service I didn't even order pounding on my door.

"I had to find you don't Deny me my Love" he said pushing aside the attendant after handing him some money.

"I AM not worthy go ahead I am trying to save you" I said as Tears filled up in his eyes.

"I Love you no matter how much Pain you can Remember I will be here until it's erased and U know nothing but Love" he said so passionate while cupping my face in his huge hands like no one had ever did before.

"I have so much Pain" I didn't want to remember with him standing there but it was about to play out all again.

"Tell me what is it that's the only way it will no longer bind you to it I won't judge dear I won't" he said as I cried even harder trying to not relieve that Moment.

"I lost My immediate Family in a car accident on the Siene when I was 10 we was in a bad pileup, had a crash then the car went into the water ejecting my Pa,Ma and little Brother after that I tried to hold on to my big Sister but she let go,she let go I can't believe they left Me so I come Everyday to Remember the Love I lost in Paris while looking for Love" through pants and tears streaming down my face I finally said it.

"Awwww that's something to live with but U don't have to do it alone I am here for you" he said as I fell into his arms feeling a sense of relief.

"Hey there I have something for you" Dylan said as I was rubbing my belly bump while taking in the lovely view of the Siene.

"I don't like surprises baby you know they make me mushy what is it" I sat trying to get a clue as to what he is up to by his facial expression but he has learned me it's nothing there.

"You have to cover your Eyes" he say before taking out the blindfold.

"Do this have anything to do with our anniversary"I ask in anticipation as he ties up the back of the blindfold and I can't see anything but hear his voice.

"No but that's not a bad idea" he says

"Come on Dylannnn" I say ready to take off the blindfold.

"Okay you can take it off now" he said

"Hey Sissy it's been a long time" a voice said as I took off the blindfold almost falling into Dylan at what I was looking at.

"It can't be"I said shaking and tears filling up my eyes.

"It is I found Her she didn't die like you thought she did" he said

"No guess all those years I cried about swimming lessons came in handy after the fall I swum to shore where I was helped but after amnesia I gained my memory back in this home I lived in every sense until the Nurse informed me of a Gentleman looking for Me for me for my Sister and I am here" she said now Us both grasping Eachother and crying together.

"Glad that you two have Eachother and Us now"Dylan said as he rubbed Elizabeth belly with all them standing on the bridge hugging after finding after losing Love in Paris.
