Ricky: Bonsoir! Nini: I didn't expect to get a number Ricky: I liked talking with you Nini: Me too Ricky: So how was your first day in Paris? Nini: Magnificent Ricky: Can I take you on tour as well?

Nini: You know, your accent is so soothing to listen to Ricky: really? Well I love your American accent Nini: It's not as nice as yours Ricky: I don't know about that Nini: Well I do Ricky: Nini can I ask you a question? Nini: Go for it Ricky: You said you were doing culinary studies correct? Nini: Mhm Ricky: Would you like to come and see how we cook in my restaurant? You can shadow me for an hour or so Nini: Ooo, that'd be awesome! Ricky: then we'll have to do that sometime Nini: Sounds good- are you wearing a Christmas onesie? Ricky: I love Christmas *laughs* Nini: I mean it looks lovely Ricky: I know it's like February... but it's never not Christmas time at my place Nini: Can I see? Ricky: oh I don't mean it's all decorated Nini: Oh, well that's awkward Ricky: *I stand up and face the camera to the mirror* but this is my Onesie Nini: Like I said, lovely Ricky: Merci Nini: Oh! *I go to my suitcase and grab out a beret* You like it? Ricky: those are more of a stereotype *laughs a little* Nini: Oh, sorry *I go to take it off* Ricky: doesn't mean all people don't wear them. Besides, you look cute in it Nini: O-Oh okay *cute?!* Thanks Ricky: you're welcome Nini: So tell me about yourself Ricky: like what? Nini: Anything Ricky: um I like to skateboard around the city Nini: Thats it? Ricky: I don't know what else to say Nini: What about your life when you were younger? Ricky: uhh I grew up with my father since my mother walked out on us when I was like 2. He's remarried but I've met her like twice since she lives in Italy. Um, I have an older sister but she lives in Barcelona now.... I don't really know what else to talk about *laughs a little* Nini: Do you have any other friends besides the boys Ricky: yeah I know people from my old school Nini: Oh cool Ricky: I mostly hang out with los and seb and my friend Gina Nini: Gina? Ricky: again, someone I know from school. She's basically my closest friend I guess Nini: Oh okay. Not that you asked but I'm gonna tell you some things about me *laughs a little* I grew up in the city with my moms and always always loved to bake when I was like 5 years old. Fun fact, I was a runner up on a very popular kids cooking show when I was about 12 years old, the one with Gordon Ramsey so that's pretty cool. I was on the culinary competition team in high school and we won my junior and senior year which was totally insane and now I'm here Ricky: a cooking show?! That's so cool! Nini: Yeah, it really was Ricky: and Gordon Ramsey?! That's insane Nini: It's weird, he's actually a really nice dude *laughs* Ricky: really? *laughs* Nini: Really. He gave us like so many tips and was a really nice guy Ricky: you'll have to share his tips Nini: I will once we get in that kitchen of yours Ricky: I can't wait Nini: I'm very excited Ricky: so am I Nini: You have beautiful eyes Ricky: Merci, vous êtes très aimable Nini: Ummm? *laughs* Ricky: oh right... I said thank you, you are very kind *laughs a little* Nini: Oh! Yeah, no problem Ricky: you have beautiful hair Nini: *I smile and blush* Merci Ricky: De rien is youre welcome Nini: Is it true that the french are often very flirty? Or is that a stereotype to? Ricky: well you've spent the day here, you tell me Nini: I don't knowwww Ricky: well what about me. Do you think I'm flirty? Nini: *I don't wanna answer that and embarrassed myself* Just tell me! *laughs* Ricky: *laughs a little* I don't think we are purposely flirty... it's just our culture I guess. Say... la bise... when we greet each other by kissing each cheek... that's just normal to us Nini: Yeah... that's gonna take some getting used to *laughs* Ricky: I guess so *laughs* Nini: If someone did that in America, they'd probably get slapped across the face Ricky: would you slap me in the face? Nini: If you came up to me as a rando back home, 100% Ricky: *laughs* then I'll have to watch myself around you Nini: If you did it now I wouldn't *laughs* Ricky: oh okay Nini: *yawns* Well I should probably get to sleep, it's been a LONG day Ricky: when can I see you again? Nini: When do you wanna see me again? Ricky: soon Nini: How soon? Ricky: whenever you can Nini: How about tomorrow night, you take me to the Eiffel tower? Ricky: I guess I could make tomorrow work so I'd love to Nini: I'll send you my address because well, I can't really drive over here *laughs* Ricky: so I will see you tomorrow Nini: I guess you will Ricky: Bonne nuit ma chérie Nini: *I look at you confused* Ricky: *laughs a little* good night my darling *I hang up* Nini: *I blush and drop my phone* *Did he just- he- he called me darling? Like his darling? Is this all French people?* Ashlyn: *knocking at door* Neens?! Nini: What? Ashlyn: can I come in? Nini: *I walk over and open the door* What's up? Ashlyn: who were you talking to? Nini: Oh, just this kid from one of my classes. He was updating me on what I've missed so far in person Ashlyn: oh okay... the shower is AMAZING Nini: Oh my gosh, I can't wait Ashlyn: well you're next Nini: *I walk into the bathroom and shower before coming back out and getting ready for bed and text ricky* Quick and kinda dumb question, do you have a snapchat? I love sending pictures instead of texting lol Ricky: I do lol it's richardrick052 Nini: Sounds good :) *I add you on snap and send you a picture saying goodnight*
