"So are you going to tell us what actually happened with Gloria?" Jaymi sighed as she finished her meal, placing down her fork with a clink

"Well we figured out who wants to kill me" I smiled, playing with the food on my plate with my fork

"Who this time?" Riley asked, stuffing his face casually

"Two Angel brothers, Ollie and Alex" I revealed

"Angels? Why would Angels want to kill you?" Jaymi asked furrowing her perfect eyebrows

"Because they are sick of having to 'protect' someone who hangs out with Vampires so closely" I rolled my eyes

"That's pathetic, some Angels they are" Riley scoffed, chewing his food like a wild animal

"I know right" Jaymi agreed, nodding

I shook my head, unable to force down another piece of food as I put my cutlery down

"So what's the plan then?" Riley asked, muffled by his mouthful of steak

"Gloria's going to track them down, question them, take care of it accordingly" I shrugged.
I wished it was that simple, yet I had my doubts

"That easy?" Jaymi asked, almost reading my thoughts

"I hope so" Duke told her, finishing his own meal

"You know, it'd be nice to not have people want to kill me, just for a few months anyway" I shrugged

"As long as you're with us, you're safe" Riley winked, licking his lips

"I know that, but it'd still be nice" I rolled my eyes.

"I know what you mean" Jaymi agreed, nodding in my direction

"What are the plans for the next two days anyway, I mean, we're going home soon, which sucks, so we should do something really different, something that I can't ever forgot right?" I asked eagerly

Again, like before, Jaymi's smile widened, her face directly aiming down, attempting to hide it.

"Well, Dukey pukey here is planning to take you to see the Eiffel Tower tomorrow night" Riley smiled, pointing towards Duke with his full fork

"Really?" I asked, looking towards him "It's about time" I almost jumped with excitement

Duke turned and smiled "About time?" He repeated, furrowing his eyebrows

"I've been dying to go there, more so than any other place here" I explained, rolling my eyes "I mean, this is Paris after all"

"It's a date then" Duke smiled

"And what about tomorrow during the day?" I asked, wanting to plan out what was going to be my last 48 hours in France

"Can you ever just be patient?" Duke shook his head

"No. I can't" I smiled proudly

"Well you're just going to have to be" He bravely winked at me

As we laughed, teasing one another, our attention had been captured back to reality when we noticed a familiar figure walking towards us.
It was Andrè, he was smiling, charming as usual as he stopped beside the table end where I was sitting.

He truly did not care an inch about Vampires and their presence beside me

"Hey everyone, Rosie" He greeted with a simple wave of his hand

"Hey" I chirped ignoring the tension that rapidly formed

"Can I have a word with you for a moment, it won't take long" He smiled, speaking his last sentence towards my friends
