“Let me see that.” I handed him the slip of paper. “You don’t have most of the things on this list. I guess this mean we’re going shopping?”
I tried to take the list back and he raised his hand up so I couldn’t reach it. “Give me that.” We stopped walking and I tried to jump up and snatch the paper back.
“Not until you answer my question.” I stood still, folded my arms across my chest pouting. “Now you look like a French woman.” He smiled. “Answer me, and I’ll give the paper back.”
“Oui.” He kissed me and handed me the slip of paper.
He took his phone out of his pocket, pressed a number and said something in French. He was speaking so fast, I couldn’t discern his side of the conversation. He ended the call, placed his phone back in his pocket and kissed me. “Dépêche-toi, nous ne voulons pas être en retard.” He took my hand and we continued walking.
“Where are we going?”
“To work on your list.”
I stopped walking. “What did you do?”
“You’ll see.”
I hesitated, but his smile convinced me to trust him. We continued walking and a couple of blocks later, we stopped in front of a boutique. “Where are we?”
“According to your list, you need some lingerie.”
I looked at him. “Comment?”
“You have an appointment inside.”
“What ?”
“This is one of the best lingerie shops in Paris.”
My mouth dropped open and I looked at him. “Comment?”
He took my hand and led me inside. “Bonjour, Monsieur Marchant.”
“Bonjour, Madame Béatrice.” He kissed the older woman on the cheek. They exchanged words in French so fast I couldn’t understand. I looked around at all the beautiful delicate lace and silk underthings. French women really are different. “Mon amour…”
“Oui…”
“Madame, ma copine Gabriella.”
“Enchantée.”
“C’est un plaisir de faire votre connaissance. Elle est belle.”
“Merci.”
“Ah, vous parlez français ?” she asked.
“Un peu.” I smiled.
“We will use English.”
I looked at Phillippe. “Mon amour, Madame Beatrice is going to help you.”
“Help me?”
“I told her you wanted to get some things.”
“Excusez-nous.” I waited for her to walk away. “What did you do?” I looked around the store. It was obvious that not only was everything beautiful, it was also very expensive.
