"Oh crap", I heart Nathan mutters and I sigh.

"They closed it. Let's just go somewhere else", I tell him and walk away with my hands in my jeans pocket, clearly upset. I was upset but then I realized, I won't let one-failed-plan ruined all of the other plans on the list.

"I'm so sorry that you can't see the painting or the-", Nathan rants but I stopped him.

"No, it's not your fault, let's just go somewhere else", I tell him and he smiles and nods at me.

"We can come again tomorrow if you wanted to see the painting. Maybe they'll open by then", Nathan tells me.

"Yes", I smile at him and his kindness toward me.

"So where do you wanted to go ?", Nathan asks me and I shrugged.

"I've never been here so...", I tell him and he smacks his head.

"Oh right, I forgot. How about we go to...'Arc de Triomphe' ?", He asks me and I nod.

"Weird name but okay", I tell him.

"Do you want to walk there or -?", Nathan asks me and I quickly shake my head.

"No more walking please, I'm exhausted", I tell him and he laughs. He waves his head up and sure enough, 5 minutes later a car pulled over and we hop in. Nathan told the taxi driver the location and he starts driving and Nathan looks outside the window.

"Aren't you grow up in France? How can you didn't know a lot of places in here? I mean you didn't really know much about the 'Louvre Museum' ?", I ask him.

"Well, I think I forgot. Like I told you, I grew up in Paris but as soon as I finished high school, I went to America and start learning how to do business and created that company. Works filled my head since then and I think I forgot about here", He tells me and I smile at him.

"Good excuse, you're forgetting your hometown", I tell him and he frowns.

"It's not an excuse, it's real", He groans at me and I smile at him. The entire car ride was quiet and peaceful and I'm so grateful for that. I have Nathan's hand in mind for the entire car ride and I would be lying if I ever say that I'm not jumping in joy right now.

"We're here", the taxi driver speaks in his French accent. Clearly, he doesn't English very well and I totally get it because I can't even say a single French's word.

"Thank you", Nathan and I speak at the same time while Nathan hands the driver the money. We jump out of the car and I was greeted by giant walls.

"Is this it ?", I ask Nathan and he nods.

"Why is this wall is so popular ?", I ask him and look around.

"Because these walls are, inspired by Rome's Arch of Titus, the world's largest traffic roundabout and are the biggest and tallest triumphal arch in the world", He tells me and my mouth turns into an 'O' shape. I take out my phone and take photos.

"Do you know they start to build these in 1806 but only finished in 1836 ?", He asks me and I look at him, eyes wide.

"Wow, really? It took that long ?", I ask him and he nods.

"Yeah, because they have to find rare materials to make it, that's why they spent a long time. But it's worth it, right? It last over a 100 years", He tells me and by the look on his face, I think that he's impressed, I mean who wouldn't? We spent a couple more minutes of taking pictures and Nathan decided to take me somewhere.

"Where are we going exactly ?", I ask him and he shakes his head.

"Not now", He tells me and keeps running, pulling me along with him.

"Nathan, is it far away from here? I don't want to run any longer", I tell him and I felt myself starting to lose my breath.

"Don't worry, we're here", He stops running and I silently thanked God, I probably won't be able to survive if I run an extra mile. After catching my breath, I look up and see that Nathan is standing next to a boat, with a smile on his lips.

"What is this ?", I ask him.

"It's a boat, more like a ship actually. It will take up to explore more of Paris. Also, it will give us fresh air. Get on", Nathan pulls me on the boat. I look around the boat and all I can see is empty seats.

"Should we wait for other passengers ?", I ask him and he shakes his head.

"No, I paid an extra price so we have the boat to ourselves", He tells me.

"Spoil k-", I was about to finish my sentence but Nathan suddenly steps forward.

"Finished the sentence and you'll know what happened next. Oh wait, you should finish it", He crosses his arm across his chest with an evil smirk on his face.

"Rude kid", I tell him and spin my heels around. I walk over to the edge of the boat and close my eyes as the cold wind hits my face and my hair, making it fly.

I look over to the people that are on the land and they seem super busy in their own way. There is a group of student, who you can already tell that they are a student by the uniform that clinging to their body, who is walking down the street with their friends.

There are also a bunch of females, who dressed really nice in a tight dress and high heel, walking out of the mall with shopping bags in her hand and they're laughing at something that one other speaks. There are also some parents, whose mother is playing with her child and the father looks at his wife, with passion and love his eyes.

"Pretty amazing view, huh ?", Nathan came out of nowhere, hugs me from behind and hide his face in the crook of my neck.

"Yeah, beautiful", I tell him and lightly play with his hair. He suddenly looks at me and I smile at him.

"Do you know what is even more beautiful ?", He asks me and I smirk.

"Are you going to say 'you' if I ask you 'what is it?' ?", I ask him and he laughs.

"How did you know ?', He asks me.

"It's so overused, try something else, babe", I tell him and he thinks for a moment before asking.

"What does one ocean does to the other ocean ?", He asks me and I took me one second to figure out the answer.

"Let me guess, that one ocean waves at the other one ?", I look at him and he frowns.

"You're so smart", He tells me and I shook my head.

"I'm not smart but I've heard that joke a million time", I turn my attention from Nathan and back to the busy street of Paris.

"I love you", I heard Nathan mutters as he laid his face in the crook of my neck, once again.
