When We Were Perfect

Chapter 114

You are the path on which my dreams run

The relation that you and I share is like the one

That eyes have with sleep

You are like changing time

You are a memorable moment of mine

You are that moment that doesn't stop

You are my future.

I feel you around me

But are you there with me.......

★★★★★★★

Before anyone could make a guess, three days went by in Paris. Amy made use of every moment and spent days taking Ozan and Alison with her and visiting different tourist attractions, shopping for the required gifts for everyone back at home. Though she really wanted them to be family outings with Daniel.

He took a day off on Ozan's birthday and took them on a seine river cruise trip, it was indeed a memorable day for them but after that day he went to become a closed-off workaholic. It was infuriating for her but then again it was his business trip in the first place, she didn't wanted to term it as his ignorance.

Today was their last day here and she wanted to spend some quality time with Daniel. Dressing herself in a black bodycon, she went downstairs where he was sitting near the window reading some files. Ozan sitting next to him watching his cartoons.

A pair of blue-grey eyes met hers, she smiled at him adjusting her earrings. 

"I didn't know you had a plan today," Daniel said, eyeing her attire, his gaze landing on the necklace he gifted.

"Yeah, I was thinking about strolling around the city and then going to the Eiffel tower. I mean what a pity it would be not to see it" Amy said warily pinching Ozan's cheeks but he was too engrossed in his cartoons.

"Well you are right, it's our last day here. Why not make the best use of it" Daniel closed his files, placing them on the centre table. His reaction was completely opposite to that of what Amy imagined.

She grinned, 

"I will get ready in a few minutes, then we all can leave."

"I thought it will be the two of us, Alison will take care of him till we return," Amy said, biting the edge of her lips.

Daniel stared at her for a second before nodding. He kissed Ozan's forehead and then went to change.

After getting changed, they both took a stroll around the city. There wasn't any conversation but still, it was peaceful and calm just to walk around side by side. Moments like these didn't specifically require dialogues, having someone's presence is enough.

As they were walking, her eyes settled on an ice cream truck near making her eyes lit up. Daniel who went ahead turned around to look, only to find her staring at the ice cream truck with a smile.

"Strawberry right!" He muttered, startling her as she nodded with a smile. Mirroring her smile, he went to buy ice cream. Remembering the time when they were children and he couldn't afford to buy her ice cream. It was always her who brought him, 

He came back with two cups, strawberry for her and vanilla for himself.

Amy instantly took the cup and started devouring it as if she had never eaten one before. A small moan escaped her lips as soon as the creamy cold texture hit her tongue.

She heard a chuckle from behind, 

"You still eat ice cream like a child!" 

"And you are still a weirdo to choose vanilla out of all the mouth-watering flavours there," Amy said, licking the cream off the spoon.

"If you don't eat ice cream like a child, then you are disrespecting it!" She continued.

"There's an amusement park near, you want to go there!" Daniel asked but had to cover his ears when a loud squeal blew against them.

"Really, do you even have to ask this question. Come on, let's go!"  Amy squealed, striding forward not even caring about the people around who turned to look at her.

Daniel sighed but couldn't help the grin that crept over his face.

The moment they entered, loud screams and music filled their ears.  Amy watched in awe, there were a lot of people and a lot of rides including the Ferris wheel, roller coasters and more. Different food and accessories stall.

Seeing everything around, Daniel regretted his decision of choosing an amusement park.

"Amy, I think we should go somewhere else. This place is only filled with children and teenagers."

Amy turned to his side and stared at him as if he had grown two heads.

"We aren't grandparents either, let's go on that!" She said pointing towards a roller coaster. Daniel's heart rate quickened seeing the high ride.

"N-no, it's dangerous!" He tried to dodge away the idea of riding on it.

"Dangerous, are you serious!" Amy shrieked, not believing his logic.

"Nah, we are going on that!" She grabbed onto his hand dragging him towards the ride.

"Amy's it's a death trap. I am not going!" He tried to slow their pace, putting weight on his shoes.

"Daniel, please!"

"No way,"

"Pretty please!"

"I already said no!"

"Come on Daniel, it's a lot of fun!" She pleaded.

"I don't see any fun in it!"

"Wait a minute, are you scared!" She provoked, standing near the ticket spot.

"Afraid me, you aren't thinking straight!" He squared his shoulders trying to act all brave.

"Is the mighty Daniel Saritas afraid of roller coasters? I wonder how Ozan would react, listening to this!"  She teased and it seemed to work on him as he glared at her.

"Fine, let's go!" He groaned in defeat, pulling her towards the ticket counter. He wasn't going to let Ozan think that his father was a coward. Besides how bad it could be.

The answer was his heart jumping out of his chest as the ride went higher and higher, eventually falling downwards. All along the ride, he kept his eyes shut gripping Amy's hand tightly suppressing his screams. He could hear her screaming in joy.

When the whole ride was over, he took a breath of relief getting out of it.

"Wasn't it fun!" Amy said from behind only to receive a glare from him but she didn't let it bother her as she dragged him to other rides. Soon Daniel also relaxed and started to enjoy, they went on the Ferris wheel, dodging cars, shooting arena. Both of them were pro in it. Daniel shot with determination while Amy stood there watching him and his knee-weakening smile which was quite often today. She wanted to store this day forever in her heart, the first time they ever went and spent their time together as a couple.

After the ride, they both were passing by the stalks finding something to eat.

"What a lovely couple!" She shouted, gaining their attention.

"Would you like to buy these rings, they are made for couples like you!"

Amy moved forward eyeing them, they were simple yet elegant eternity bands. Something flicked in her heart seeing them, a sudden urge to buy them. She looked behind to see Daniel standing there with a poker face gazing at them.

"Yes, we would like to buy it!" Amy said as the woman smiled, giving her the two bands while Daniel paid for them not saying anything.

"May you two be blessed in both worlds!" She said, simpering.

Amy took it from her and turned to Daniel.

"Can I!" She asked hopefully. His jaw opened to say something but instead, he extended his finger where she slipped in the ring gently. He did the same while a few people standing closer clapped from them causing a small blush to cover both their cheeks. 

"Let's go!" He mumbled holding her hand and walking out of the crowd with a smile.

"Did you have fun?" Amy asked as they walked shoulder to shoulder, holding hands like a couple in love.

"If you had fun, then I also had!" He replied grasping her fingers, smiling her way, the warmth his proximity was providing was too welcoming for her.

"You should smile often Daniel!" 

"Why!"

"You look more h-handsome!" She muttered looking the other way.

"It means you find me handsome all the time!" His smile turned into a smirk.

"Well, no woman denies that I am handsome!" 

Amy turned her head watching his smirk.

"May I know who these women are?" It wasn't a rude question but she asked it in a rather severe tone. Not knowing herself.

"Someone is getting possessive" He played along still smirking.

"Yes, I am!" She halted, making him look at her, the smirk now disappearing.

"Because you are mine Daniel Saritas, for eternity!" Amy let out lacing her fingers through his continuing to walk while Daniel glanced between her and their interlocked hands in bewilderment.

Was it really the heat of their proximity or was it her words that instilled a certain warmth in his stomach.. One thing he felt for sure was that her possessive attitude sure was a turn on for him.
