My Person

It was our last day on the press tour, which meant we had a lot of things today before our red carpet in Paris. We were getting ready for a short interview and then we had to do photoshoot, and later on, another press conference.

"Are you guys ready?" The interviewer asked us and we responded yes in unison. "Alright, take a seat over here and we'll begin right away." He said and we sat next to each other.

It was a whole trivia question game, so we were already pretty excited to do it. We started filming after the interviewer explained the game to us and handed us the cards with the questions on them.

"Alright, Mena, this is a fill in the blank of an Aladdin song." I say.

"Okay, I'm ready." He says.

"Unbelievable sights, indescribable feeling, blank, blank, blank, through an endless diamond sky."

"Oh wow." He says and I chuckle. "I don't know! I'm blanking right now, you make me nervous." I laugh at his cute reaction

"It's soaring, tumbling, freewheeling." I sing it for him. "To be fair, that's my l-"

"Wait, that's your line!" He finishes the sentence for me.

"Yeah, you don't listen to my line?" I ask sarcastically.

"Pft, no! I don't need to sing that!"

"The truth comes out." I say and he starts laughing.

Around twelve minutes later, we had finished the little trivia game and we were off with the next thing which was a photoshoot with Mena.

We went back to our hotel, changed into our movie costumes while getting our makeup and hair done. And next thing you know, we were driving to the photoshoot location.

We greeted everyone before starting and then we started doing the shots. Mena and I took some individually and then some together for the movie poster. The pictures ended up looking really good, and we wrapped the photoshoot about three hours later.

Mena decided to take me out to lunch, so we went to a vegan place down the hotel's street for a quick lunch. We talked about our favorite memories from this trip and how we were gonna miss it.

And to finish off this busy day, we went back to the hotel and changed for tonight's red carpet. This one was going to be fancier than the others because we were in Paris and it's the last night of the press tour.

I could not wait to put on my dress, it was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. Well, after my Mena.

It was long and red and it had butterflies all over it, it was elegant. And at the bottom, it said, 'Imposible Lovers Make The Best Stories'.

After a while of dancing around in the final Aladdin premiere party, Mena grabbed ahold of my hand and led me outside. "Hey, what happened?" I smiled at him when we were outside and away from all the partying and the people.

"C'mon, we only have a few hours left in the city of love." He said and dragged me along to a car that was parked outside.

"Meens, what are you doing?" I laughed.

"Making one of your dreams come true." He rushed me to get inside the car.

When we got in, he told the chofer, "Eiffel Tower."

"You got it." Responded the driver.

I looked at Mena as if he was crazy. "Are we actually..." I trailed off. He nodded like crazy with the biggest smile on his face.

A few minutes later, we were here. We were in front of the Eiffel Tower. We both stood in front of it, admiring it's shining lights. I turn to Mena, "You remembered." I grinned.

"Of course I did. I remember as if it was yesterday. Our first screening in Aladdin. The first time I met you. We ended up talking about adventures, and places, and cities, and you told me you've never been to the Eiffel Tower, and that that was your dream since you were seven. Now, I knew I had to take you here, it's the least I can do."

"The least you can do? About what?"

"About all of the happiness you've brought me, N."

I look away, I didn't want Mena to see that my eyes were starting to water. "Hey, look at me." He whispered as he softly grabbed my face and made me look at him. I blinked and my tears fell. "I love you. I love you so much, Mena Massoud. I fucking love you!" I laughed.

"I second that." He smirked and leaned in to kiss my lips in front of the Eiffel Tower while Vie En Rose was playing in the background.

Cliché, right? Yes.
But adorable as fuck? Absolutely.

"I love you too." He breathed as he pulled away.
