    A Midnight Drama On River Seine

    [Just One of Best MSN Spaces ]

     
     
    "Look for the girl with the broken smile
    Ask her if she wants to stay awhile    .." 
     
     
     
     
     
    Dear Gabrielle,
      
    Put a slightly jaded, (nevertheless) hopeless romantic in the City of Love. Add a 'compulsory' love interest with the same brand of passion. What do you get? Fireworks.
     
     
    It was incredibly romantic to walk along the tree-lined street of Champ Elysee, Gabe! The Eiffel Tower looked more breathtaking with every minute. Then, there was the midnight love song serenade and a marriage proposal!
     
    If only they came from just one man. It did not and this is where I have to take you back to that midnight drama along River Seine.
     
     
    One a.m., Patric and I were at each other's throats. And not in a sensual way either!  
     
    But we did get on really well. There were some romantic moments too! But I am not jaded without a reason. His no-committal signs were my red light. I proceeded with caution, I reacted with detachment.
     
    Problem is, everyone else seemed to think we were attached. Gee Gabe, I don't know, why we didn't manage to fool them. Perhaps the holding hands and lingering looks has got something to do with it?
     
     
    "You've asked her to marry you yet?" one Frenchman asked out of the blue as we sat infront of the Notre Dame.
     
    We laughed it off.
     
    "Tell him, I'm your boyfriend," Patric whispered.
     
    "He's not my boyfriend." I grinned at Frenchman through gritted teeth. Now, it is one thing to not want to be with me, and another to not let others be with me.  Do you sense the drama heating, Gabe?
     
    Frenchman and his posse of four proceeded to flirt with me. Then started an impromptu hip hop rendition about marrying me (I have to admit the French have excellent musical taste! ). It ended with one on bended knees!
     
    "I can't believe he asked you to marry him infront of me!" Patric joked as we walked away later.
     
    "Why not? Someone has to!" I joked back.
     
    It was no joke - he was jealous and I was milking it
     
    We headed to a bar in the Latin Quarter and the queries to our status quo continued. I decided to play nice and left it vague. 
     
    Back to River Seine at 1 am.
     
    "Elle, it's weird huh, having a dozen people asking us what we are to each other?" Patric started.
     
    "I think I should clarify with you. I enjoy being with you. You are fun and so cool. But at this point in time, I am not looking for a relationship. I just want us have fun and I hope we are on the same page?"
     
    My fireworks exploded.
     
    "You are soo patronising!" I went. "What makes you think I need clarification? I was the one who told everyone you were not my boyfriend, remember? You have given me enough hints the whole weekend. What makes you think I want anything from you?" I shouted for all of Paris to hear. It must have echoed down the River towards the French suburbs too..
     
    The drama went on for four hours. He could not see how insulting he was. I could not see how irrational I was. The cocktails no longer seemed like a great idea.
     
    Here I am today, nursing my flu (nope, no heartbreaks- I'm slightly wiser! ) and trying to figure out why I reacted the way I did. All he wanted to do was to clarify our relationship status. Truth hurts, I guess and here Gabe, is my honest truth.
     
    Deep down, I know it really is not his fault. Sure, he should have guessed that no one travels across the ocean, at the last minute to have a mere fling. Flings could easily be had in London- it would have been cheaper.
     
    As much as I tried to refute that I am not expecting anything from him, I lie. In all honesty, I was. Never mind that I was not wholly attracted to him. I was caught up in the moment and as jaded as I thought I was, there is still that predominant trait inside of me that believes in love, Mr Right and magical moments.
     
    Patric has proven to be just one in the long line of wrong men. And I am tired of being yet another wrong boy's, wrong girl. 
     
    Of all the people I know, I have been the one who have met too many wrong guys. The law of statistic does not seem to apply with me. Perhaps I should just move to Paris with its equally romantic French men? Now Gabe, wouldn't that be ultra dramatic!

    (this is going to be a long one. I must get your email address someday..)

    I'm in desperate need of a man repellant. They're coming out of the wood work I swear. There are men I hoped to never, ever, ever see again showing up with love in their eyes and rings in their hands. No, no, no I repeatedly find myself saying! Jolene told me today while we were having our afternoon walk that I look as if I've lost 20 lbs in 2 weeks. I just looked at her as if she were insane. (Jolene, btw, is the blonde in the beach pictures, the brunette is Hillarie, then me, then my mother.) Is there something that's changed in me that I don't even realize? An ease in my step, in my actions, in my very being that makes people long to be near me? My charisma must have shot through the roof as of late--maybe it's my new shampoo, eh? ;)
    It had been awhile since you'd come around the ol' blog. I know you've been insanely busy--you and your travelling shoes. Do you know who you remind me of slightly? The lady off of Chocolat. She was with the wind and felt the need to move with it. I get that urge too. I just want to drift from place to place, blissfully meeting different people with joy. A love in every town yet my heart still being wild.
    Coral is actually quoting me. I must be onto something with the scent thing. There was this man who wore something (I think it was called Joop or something)..and I swear to you I could not resist him. I tried so hard but it was if once that smell hit me I was weak in the knees and my head was spinning. I can't even begin to explain. Scent is the most powerful thing associated to memories. (seriously, psychologically proven)...It can be wonderful or horrible. "The One" wore this delicious scent that it seems to this day is one of the favorites of all the guys who come around me. I'm swept back to long nights on the riverbank curled up looking up at the stars...(insert a long whistful sigh here)..
    I am much better, by the way. I hope you are the same! And yes, I am thinking of London in November. I'm torn, though, because the Caribbean also sounds absolutely delicious! Can you imagine leaving the near wintery, dreary conditions to lay on a warm beach, drink in hand, watching tanning cuties walk by? How can I be expected to choose? I'm leaning towards London (Italy I'm doing next year, that's been decided) because my passport is in desperate need of a european stamp! I'm hoping (dreaming) by then the one I' chasing will realize it and be along with me. (He's shorter than me. A teacher. How can this be happening???) Wouldn't it be fun for us to man bash over cocktails in November? Sounds di-vooonnn darling...simply divoooonnnn...
    warmest wishes to you on this hot summer day...
    susan
    p.s. I got your ps on a day I was very, very low. It made me cry. I appreciate your friendship so much too. It's comforting to have someone out there who always seems to understand exactly what I'm going through..and would cry with me if she were around. :)

    Elle i do enjoy you're blogs they are so romantic in so many ways. Walking around Paris in the dark with a 'loved' one (i use the phrase loved very sparingly) Oh to be a Traveller like you.
     
    I may have a new boy on the scene. May have being the word. We will find out tomorrow night. He went to college with me and i used to fancy him but after a year of not seeing him i don't know whether i still like him or not?! Confusion reigns as ever.
     
    Have a great weekend

    Elle I was with you every step in this story, I can totally see myself reacting the very same way and having the very same feelings about it as you described having.

    Dear Elle,  I got so very carried away with  being  poetic last night, that I forgot to ask about your sister.  Pray that all is well.  As ever be well.  With love.  Stephen

      Dahling. The text was from me, yes :) How good is that song though. It's like, the best thing ever. Kind of. Oh.My.Actual.Word. John Mayer is clearly not depressing or crap. He is obviously not the guy for you if he said that. Yea, you shoulda shot him, or threw him in the River.. Patric saying that, is like James saying Footie is crap. Which he did today, I nearly died. So he left, and we watched the match. Chris was like, "I know he hates football, but he at least could have stayed cos his bird was here, I know I would have" I said, "Well, he's gone now, nothing we can do, I'm watching the match. End.Of" In my much pissed off voice. Then I had a heart to heart w/ Jasmin over him.
      Ohhh our fave Corinne CD advertised on tv! It is legendary.
      The Exams. I have ONE left. Next Friday. Food Tech. THEN, that's it. You want A*'s. We're not all as clever as you you know love.. Although, I will be guted, and amazed, if I don't end up with at least an A in IT. Seeing as I finished the Paper in about 45 mins, when it was 90 Mins long. A 10 Mark Q: Advantages and Disadvantages of Internet Shopping. < Is it me?
      Bridge has her space Private, and she added you, or rather I added you to her msn. So she should be on your msn now.. I'll sort it out tomorrow, she's out in Town w/ the Girls currently. It's cos, "Y're Barred!" < John Smiths Advert, if you aint seen it, you're missing out cos it is totally hilarious, and us lot cannot stop saying it :) Here it is :) Watching Grey's Anatomy :)

    Dahling! First off, how cute is what Bren wrote?! < Ever the cute one :) Is he still hott?! :P
     
    The sun is shining here today, but it has been, in true British fashion, raining for a few days.. Oh.Well. Catsh some rays today :) It can't do right for doing wrong, when it's too hot we moan, but when it rains we hate it.. Oh.Well :)
     
    Boiz. You know I though I understood them. But they are just so backward.. "Why I bother, I don't know.." < You know, I agree! Well, I will see him today. And hopefully he will be happy, even when the Boiz are there. Hmfph. Me and 2 Gf's were having this discussion yesterday. She's been going out w/ a Guy for 8 months, and they never have alone time. I was like, "What?!" 34 Days (and counting)
     
    12 Days. Me and You in ATL. That would kick ass :) There will be so many hott guys.. It's so annoyingly ironic! No exams today, none until June 23rd, and they they have finished Then it'll only be 4 days to Atl. I'll find you a suitable hott guy :P Currently loving w/ John Mayer, and Trouble Sleeping :) < Dude, you have the best taste in Music. I love it :)
    Love, Coral xo

    Oh Elle...
     
    There is one consolation that everyone always offers in situations such as these:  "IT'S HIS LOSS!!"  ;)  And while we do always recognize that that is largely true, it doesn't completely drown out the sadness over that part that is OUR loss.  I'm sorry things didn't work out with Patric.  But the story you two had up until the fireworks fiasco was true fairytale material!  How lucky and blessed you were to have had that experience!
     
    I had a good friend several years ago who was married and expecting his first child.  I was so young at the time, only 22, but already I felt disillusioned with dating, like I was going to be alone forever.  (I know, with such thoughts then, how am I even still keeping it together now??? ;)  Anyway, my friend said something to me that I'm sure he didn't mean to be profound, and in fact it wasn't really profound at all, but it struck me as so, and has stayed in my mind ever since.  When I was tired of dating and breaking up, didn't want to do it anymore, he told me, "Yes, Heather, you're right.  Every new relationship you start is going to end... until the one that doesn't."  Until the one that doesn't.    I guess until we find that right one, the one that doesn't end, we just have to keep enjoying the wrong ones while they last, and appreciating the bits of beauty and adventure they bring to our lives.
     
    XO~

    My Dear Elle,  What a pleasure it was after work to sign on and read your comment.  The city of light, is indeed the city of love especially in the spring and early summer.   There Liberty and Dragons have danced forever in myth, reality and dreams.  You have touched the stone streets and have seen the beauty of the magical sky reflected on the river.   There you know.  All else fades fast as you take a breath and See.  Thank you for sliding by the Painting Studio and as ever be well.  With love.  Stephen

    Urgh....Not exactly the dream holiday, huh.....Well, if it's any consolation, it's winter here....haha...
     
    Yes, about this acting weird thing....I know where it stems from, but I'm trying to work through it and it's hard!!! It's like when you refine gold, you've gotta take the heat up really hot til the impurities come out, and I'm in the "heating up" process, and let me tell you, it's uncomfortable!!! But it's worth it in the long run...Definately. yes I think it is us trying to make up for something...For me, it's me trying to control the situation to make myself appear more desireable.....Cos that's the cry of a woman's heart - to have someone recognise their beauty......But the only reason I know that is cos I read this awesome book - Captivating: Uncovering the Woman's Soul... The whole way through I was almost crying going "oh my gosh...that's me....oh I do that too..." haha yea..I'd highly reccomend it... go here ----> http://www.christianbits.co.uk/product.php?id=0785276211    Yes, it is a christian book, but it speaks truth in huge volumes!! Hope that helps.... :)

    "There's that brief moment when they take you in their arms, their scent surrounds you" < Susan. You know that's right. When you get their scent. *sighs* there is no way I can ever get enough of his scent. At one point, I will buy myself some, cos it is so hott.
    Off to Bed now..
    Love You Dahling :)
