Paris Adventures: A Sweet and Bittersweet Journey

I fell asleep with a groan, and after waking up, I realized that the place where we had met was located in a large shopping mall on the second floor of an indoor market. It took me nearly half an hour to navigate through the street signs before arriving at the correct entrance.

After making a reservation online, we waited for about twenty minutes for our table to be ready. The food arrived with a smile, but it lacked any originality. My partner chose a beef dish, and I had green steam prawns instead. When my plate was cleared, we were seated by the window of the restaurant, where we talked contentedly about life in Paris.

The dinner was okay, but my stomach felt heavy from eating too much. The food was alright, but no one seemed interested in sharing dishes with us. I had to order water separately and ended up ordering a bottle of red wine just because it was cheap.

As the night went on, we talked about our future plans. My partner wanted to start a family soon, which worried me. We decided to take things step by step.

The next morning brought a surprise: my partner told me she had met someone in Paris who seemed to think she was beautiful. He was tall and well-dressed but didn’t seem interested in us at all. I felt like a fool for even considering him, though I couldn’t help but imagine what it would be like to have someone special in my life.

I went straight to the bakery on the corner of Sixth Arrondissement and Fifth arrondissement for breakfast. The croissants were soft and buttery, and they made me feel happy just thinking about them.

I spent the rest of the day exploring the city center. My partner’s friend was a photographer, and he took photos of my partner whenever she looked at him in a certain way. I tried to look like an idiot for the cameras but couldn’t help but laugh when I saw her trying to act normal.

The evening brought a surprise: my partner’s friend told me that our date had been canceled because of bad weather. I felt terrible, though I was relieved to hear that it wasn’t my fault at all.

The next day, we went to the park on the edge of Fifth arrondissement. The park was beautiful in the spring, but now it was closed for renovation. My partner’s friend had a camera and took photos of us as we walked through the park.

I told my partner that I missed my job back home, where I worked at a famous restaurant. She laughed when she heard about my boss raising my salary, though I couldn’t help but wonder if it would ever be possible for me to leave Paris.

The next day morning brought bad news: my boss told me that my salary was being cut effective next month. I felt like crying, though I knew I had no choice in the matter. My partner’s friend said she was going to quit her job to help me, but it didn’t make it any easier for me.

I spent the rest of the day trying to think of ways to stay employed. I called my old employer and asked if there were any jobs available, but he told me that things had gotten too tight for anyone to take on new employees.

The next morning, our date was canceled again because of bad weather. My partner’s friend said it was probably the last time we’d be seeing each other in Paris, though I didn’t agree with him. I spent the day at home, trying to make things work without her.

I told my boss that I needed to finish a presentation for an important client later that evening. When I got home, my partner’s friend was still at work when she heard about my plans and asked if we could go out together.

The next evening brought a surprise: my partner’s friend had been promoted and was moving to a new job in the city center. She told me that she’d miss us, but I didn’t feel the same way. We spent the night at her place before saying good-bye.

The next morning, we went back to the bakery on the corner of Sixth Arrondissement for breakfast. The croissants were soft and buttery, and they made me feel happy just thinking about them.

I told my boss that I was leaving Paris for good after our final date. She laughed when she heard about it, though I knew it would be hard to leave such a beautiful city behind.

The next day, we packed our bags and left for the airport. The weather was terrible, but I didn’t care because the time had come. My partner’s friend was there to say goodbye, and we made sure to tell her how much she meant to us.

As we boarded the plane, I looked back at my partner’s friend and smiled. She looked back at me with a smile that matched mine. We were going to start a new life together, somewhere far from Paris.
