Un magnifique voyage à Paris

Well this weekend I had the surprise of my life. Was meant to be staying in the country Knutsford to be exact but was abducted to Paris for a long weekend arriving back in London to enjoy the glorious sunshine that seems to of sprung on us.
I always wanted to have a bottle of champagne at the worlds longest Champagne bar since Eurostar opened their new passenger terminal at Kings X. So the plan was leave work early on Friday meet some old Eurostar friends for a few drinks and wait for T.
I thought I’d be smug and get a bouquet of flowers and order a bottle of Pink Bubbles just before T arrives.
Catching up with the old gang had me in stitches, Hiedi’s pregnant and married which was a huge shock but it was nice to see her so glowing and bubbly. The guys were the usual jokes Miss Lee her usual voluptuous happy self. Well as usual the shots came out and by 5:30pm was feeling quite chirpy, lets just say I had a huge grin on my face when I saw T walk in and no word of a lie even I had to double take nearly snapping my neck, and when she sashayed her way over all those feelings came flooding back when I first met her. T has the unique ability to render me senseless, almost beaten and whipped with a strange smile on my face, like a little kid again happy innocent knowing that the bubble I’m in will never be tainted by a lie or an undesirable action. For trust is a big thing in a relationship without this there is no relationship and as a woman of maturity and wisdom T knows this.
So With a quick embrace and some gob smacked mouths she settles in and immediately starts talking with the girls about her dress and shoes and what she does. I’m getting all kinds of bemused looks from the guys and Moses drags me off to the bar for a chat, I make the excuse of asking T what she would like to drink followed by the others. Once at the bar Moses smiles and ascertains ‘that’s what the flowers are for, I’ve never seen you buy flowers before I thought it must have been something special’ he proceeds to grill me intensely, ‘wasn’t you saying to me the other week that you can’t find wife material’ he pauses and looks over at our table ‘how the @uck do you do it! you seem to go out with a prettier girl than the last every time’ I laugh sheepishly and think to myself if only you knew how they were mentally messed up and the only thing that was good was the sex as they were devoid of any emotion but sex without emotion is like a transaction. As we’re talking I look over the bar list and pick out a Dom Pérignon 2000. I ask Moses if he gets a discount at the bar being an employee? unfortunately not! he ask why and I showed him what I’m about to buy, he laughs and blurts ‘you must be in love’ ‘What ever’ I respond ‘come on you know me I love the bubbles’.
Moses proceeds to grill me while I’m getting the round in and just as I’m ordering the bottle T comes over and ask ‘are you getting some bubbly darling’ I think quickly to myself O Shit! T has expensive taste in Bubbles I know she wants pink. She goes ‘don’t worry they have my favorite I’ll get this one as I want to ask you something’ ‘ok Baba’ I mumble as it’s the only thing I can think of as ALARM BELLS! Start ringing in my head, I feel a sharp poke in my side, ‘Let me take these drinks back to the table and I’ll be back’. Moses is laughing all the way back as I drop off the drinks on the table he grabs my hand and says ‘you make me proud S@{#@, I hope you have finally found your happiness’.
I get back to the bar and Sitting by two pink glasses and a Bucket of Champagne T is looking ravishingly gorgeous with a sweet seductive smile on her face, this women has the tightest body I’ve ever gone out with, strange she’s the oldest but by far the physically fittest. I don’t know what those other girls were doing but boy they need to take a note out of this woman’s book. I take a seat next to her and give her a quick kiss and whisper in her ear how strikingly beautiful she looks, and boy does she smell sweet I have to stop myself from literally biting her neck she’s smelling so fine…..Reality check she wants to ask me something by getting champagne I take a seat and begin to sweat under my collar…the room starts to spin and I look over at our table pause and look at T.
‘Is everything ok’
‘yes’ comes the reply
‘Stop stressing you Num Num’ she laughs ‘I just wanted to ask you if your free this weekend’
‘you know I am’
‘No well what I’d like to ask is would you like to come to Paris with me for the weekend until Monday’
choking on my Dom Pérignon Rosé 96 she laughs at me.
‘what about passports hotel clothes’
‘I’ve got my travel bag with me you’ve got time to get your passport if you get a cab in the next half an hour’
I check my Burberry watch and it’s blurry but I can make out it’s just gone 6pm.
I check with T if she wants to stay while I go and she promises to polish off the bottle I tell her to sit with my friends and I’ll be back in a bit, I go over to the table and ask for a big favour from them:
1. baby sit my lady
2. I’m going to Paris but need to get my passport and maybe late can you guys wait around and squeeze me through I plead.

They give me the nod after some interrogation. I bring T over and ask they take great care of ma petite fleur, I give T a kiss and I’m on my way.
Jump in a private cab round the corner from the station and don’t ask the cost just scream out directions and tell him it’s urgent. I’m lifting my wrist to check the time so much I think the cabbie thinks I’m having a fiddle. Got it! Grab my passport and some clothes stuffed in a bag and jump back in the cab. It’s now 6:45pm and I’m sweating the time. I call T and tell her I’m on my way and check my Eurostar friends are still there incase I’m late. She sounded in good spirit which made me think. There’s a certain lady there that could cause a bit of a mishap, but I trust her integrity and she’s not bitter about our encounter. Another glance at my watch 7:05pm. As I’m sitting in the cab I start to think three months ago where my life was going and who was in it and how that did/would of affected my life! For a moment I have one of those surreal moments, you know when everything seems distant and oversized but silent and peaceful, how my life has changed I’m currently moving into a new flat, going on holiday, weekends away, I’ve taken up running which is a massive life change for me along with working out in the gym……..i start to think all this is for T I feel to be my best for her as she is so perfect and I can not believe I’m feeling this after just coming out of a relationship with disastrous consequences. I think to stop the cab and get some air but then realize this is what I’ve always wanted a Feminine lady, beautiful, elegant, classy, has a healthy figure, good job paying well with no baggage or kids, and likes to enjoy life.
Check my watch it’s 7:25pm and I’m puling up to the station. T’s texted me and said she’s checked in and my friends are waiting at the gate for me. I run up to the check in gates and Moses and Claire are sweet talking a manageress while Chris is ushering me through while I’m panting like a deflated balloon and thanking him through each gasp of air. I wave Au revoir and head through to find my coach. Checking my ticket for my coach and seat number I see she’s bought first class tickets and grin. I Find my coach and jump on, I sight T and head towards her and plant two soft passionate kisses on each cheek saying ‘Je suis honoré vous avez fait tout cela pour moi je suis endebted à vous, mon pétale splendide’ She blushes and says to the people opposite ‘he’s such a show off’. I sit down and we’re brought some champagne and wished a bon voyage.

The train moves off and we smile at each other and T hands me a little box gift wrapped. I ask ‘what’s this for?’
‘I saw you looking at this when we went shopping the other day’
For the life of me I couldn’t remember and just thought I must of zoned out staring at something when we were shopping. So excitedly I unwrapped it and once opened the contents had the affect of producing the biggest smile on my face. It was the new 16gb Apple Iphone 3G. I reached over and gently embraced her with my arms thanking her yet again. She takes out her New Iphone and smiles and begins to watch a film and points at mine saying it’s preloaded with films and music……I get a flash thought am I in weird science a cult 80’s film about creating the perfect woman this is just to real to believe. I sit back and choose a new film by the wrestler The Rock…
