i was the first to wake up out of the both of us. which i wasn't surprised about because of how drunk she got last night. i sat ip on the couch and ran my fingers through my hair slowly. it was 11 already and i was suppose to meet someone by the eiffel tower. i got up and made my way into the bathroom, i stared at myself in the mirror for a few minutes, trying to wake myself up.

i finally turned the water of the shower on and stripped out of my joggers. i hopped in and let the water run down on my face and my dry hair. i felt gross after getting all sweaty at the club and wished i showered before going to sleep. i washed my hair with shampoo and conditioner before doing my body and then turning the shower off, wrapping a towel around my waist once i'd stepped out. i grabbed another towel and dried my hair with it. i brushed my teeth after before stepping out into the room to retrieve some clothes.

i went to the drawers next to the bed but noticed the bed was empty. i scanned the room but the girl was nowhere to be seen. if only i had gotten her name at least. i pulled out my clothes and got dressed - i was wearing my usual tee and black jeans. i styled my hair and grabbed some paper, writing something down. grabbing my wallet and phone and heading out of the door. i stopped on a floor and turned the corner to see no one in the hallway, i stared st the numbers on the doors until i found 68. i knocked on the door and waited but no one answered. after a few minutes i grabbed the rice of paper and slid it under the bottom of the door and walked away.

once i had made it out of the doors of the hotel i walked around the street and grabbed a cab to take me to the eiffel tower.

i spotted my friend and joined him at a table of a cafe close to the eiffel tower.
"hey man. where have you been?" he asked as we did our small handshake.
"i got caught up. you disappeared after the club?" i asked him and he smirked.
"a girl took me home and i got her number. meeting her later today. what happened with you and that girl you were dancing with bro? something was going on."
"nothin happened." i held my hands on my lap as his face dropped. matt has been my best friend for as long as i can remember and we took this trip to paris as a break. the rest of the guys were too busy so it was just the two of us. he was staying in the hotel room opposite me but he didn't come back last night.

"did you get this chick's number?" he asked and i shook my head. "her name at least?" i shook my head again. "dude, what was the point?" he held his hands up in a shrug position with a disgusted look on his face. "we're going back tonight. we need to find you a chick." i rolled my eyes at him but i couldn't say no to going to the club. he finished his drink and we started walking around. a lot of couples were taking pictures under the eiffel tower.

it didn't take long for people to recognise who we were so we had and coming up to us on the sidewalk to ask for our picture and we stood there speaking with them for a few minutes before we both slipped on our sunglasses and made our way around the area, exploring.

back at the hotel i sprayed some cologne on my neck and ran my fingers through my hair to make sure it was perfect. i was wearing my black jeans again but with a half buttoned up white shirt, exposing my chest. i wore the signature necklace i normally wore which was being shown off due to my open shirt. there was a knock at my door so i answered it to be face to face with matt who had amber - the girl he met at the club - on his arm. i made sure i had my phone and card before leaving the room. i didn't expect to be third wheeling on this trip.

"which club are we going to?" i asked them and matt turned to me.
"the same one as yesterday. that girl you met might be there again." he shrugged and pulled amber closer to him. [i picture amber as a slightly younger version of keke palmer]
she was already slightly drunk and matt was tipsy. i was still sober on the other hand. i had one beer.

we showed our id's and got into the club. it looked exactly as it did yesterday which i'm not surprised about. i ordered drinks at the bar for the three of us and we all merged into the mosh pit with all of the sweaty bodies after a few drinks. matt and amber were dancing close to each other and i was jumping up and down with the rest of the crowd. it was too dark for anyone to recognise me in the club so it was easy to blend in with everybody else. i walked up and grabbed another beer from the bar. i stood there away from the huge crowds of people and started to drink it on my dance break. the music playing was similar to yesterday but it was alright music.

i made my way over to the position i was stood in at the other side of the club yesterday. i didn't pay attention and i bumped into someone.
"oh sorry." i apologized and saw that it was the girl from yesterday.
"no it's-" she started before looking up to see that it was me. she closed her mouth and cupped her hands together in front of her.
"we have to stop running into each other like this." i joked and she smiled.
"do you make it a habit to hang outside of the girl's bathroom?" she joked back and i chuckled.
"blame the club, they put the fan ned to it." i pointed up at the ceiling fan and she nodded.
it was silent between both of us for a few seconds before i opened my mouth to speak again.
"can i talk to you?" i asked and she nodded.

i nodded my head towards the door to signal for us to exit and she took my hint and exited the club with me. i noticed she was wearing my white tee with a belt around her waist. it looked adorable on her.
