SwaRon OS: Love in Paris...

"You idiot!" how dare you call Harry Potter a waste?! I will kill you!"

"Yeah I would like to see you try girl!"

"For god's sake, stop it Kriya!"

"Rey! Stop this nonsense for crying out loud!"

Ignoring their best friends' pleas, Rey and Kriya lunged at each other shouting at the top of their voices as their best friends held them, trying to restrain them.

"Tell Rey to back off Swayam!" Kriya's best friend shouted while trying to stop Kriya from mauling Rey.

"You tell Kriya, Sharon! She's the one who started it!" Swayam shouted back.

"Oh did she now?" Sharon let go of Kriya and went near Swayam, giving him a dangerous look. "Who was the one ridiculing Harry Potter first?"

Swayam let go of Rey and turned his attention towards Sharon. "Yes she did. And regarding Harry Potter, Rey's right, he is a was-"

Before he could finish, Sharon pounced at him with a how dare you' and a war broke out on their table. Every head in the cafeteria was turned towards the corner table with alarm written all over their faces as a squabble took place at that table.

"Monsieur! Madame! Please stop fighting!" the pretty French tour guide in heels squealed, scampering towards them, but to no avail.

"Madame! Please!" she shrieked again, causing them to stop and stare at her. They looked at each other realising what just happened. Highly embarrassed, Swayam, Sharon, Rey and Kriya tidied their dishevelled hair, apologized and hurried back to the tour bus, taking their seats with their moths clamped shut.

"I was right, harry potter can do nothing better than instill fights." Muttered Rey causing the rest3 to shoot him deadly glares.

Soon the rest of the bus filled in and their tour guide entered the bus and stood on the deck, quite flustered, glaring at the four Indians at the back of the bus.

"So now that we are done with the breakfast, let's start our tour for today shall we? The first stop is the Louvre museum."

------

"So it's me and you together huh?" Swayam whispered in Sharon's ears, making her breathless for that instant. She turned sideways and found his face close to hers, a glint in his eyes, along with his charming smile on his face. Yes it was just them now. Rey and Kriya had stormed off in different directions and as a result Swayam and Sharon were the only ones left.

"Yeah" Sharon breathed in response, her hear picking up speed.

"Cool" said Swayam "come on then, let's conquer this museum." He winked and started walking. Smiling and trying to hide her blush Sharon started walking behind him. He could have asked that even without to glint in his eyes but sometimes it felt to Sharon that the idiot enjoyed doing this, watching her blush and go speechless for a second. That jerk.

Yes, she had a crush on Swayam Shekawat. It had been 15 days into their 1 month tour and she had developed this crush. Maybe something deeper than a crush.

"Wow... look at the Greeks' choice of clothes. Awesome isn't it?" Swayam's dreamy voice reached Sharon's ears. She realised that they were in the statue's section and blood rushed up to her face as she saw what Swayam was looking at; Aphrodite's statue. The way he was ogling at that statue made Sharon slightly jealous.

Dude, it's an inanimate object and you are jealous of THAT?!"

Sharon sighed but caught hold of Swayam's hand and dragged him from there with all the force she could muster. She wasn't going to waste her precious time in the museum ogling at Aphrodite. Swayam trudged along whining but Sharon wasn't going to let him go back.

The next section was full of statues of warriors, well partial statues. Few of them were headless, few handless, few had only heads and few only limbs. Swayam and Sharon rushed through the section into the Greek God statues exhibit. Sharon's eyes lit up in excitement and she walked, taking in each and every detail while Swayam followed her, making disapproving clicking noises and shaking his head like a 50-year old.

-------

"Beautiful, isn't she?" Sharon asked Swayam as they pushed through the crowds to look at Mona Lisa'.

"I wouldn't quite agree Sharon" said Swayam as they got a place to stand. "After looking at every painting in the museum, I wouldn't say so. I don't think she is beautiful."

"You don't Swayam?"

"Nope. Look at her Sharon. She's eyebrow less, her face is well somehow strange and that smile on her face. Doesn't appeal to me Sharon."

"I thought you would be an appreciator of art. That you would look deep into a painting." Sharon said, surprised.

Swayam chuckled. "You take me wrong Sharon. I do appreciate art. I do think Mona Lisa's great. I just don't think she is beautiful, in my perspective."

Sharon laughed. "So what's beautiful in your perspective?"

Swayam looked at her intently at that question and said "you are beautiful in my perspective. You've got a beautiful face, mesmerising eyes, long, luxuriant hair and above all a pure heart. That's beautiful for me."

Sharon looked at Swayam dubiously hoping to catch some mischievous inner intent but found only earnestness in his eyes and smile. She felt overwhelmed. Her heart was doing the bhangra on receiving a compliment from its crush and a grin appeared on her face.

"Thanks monsieur" she smiled, her cheeks pink. He glanced at her watch and said "come on Swayam, let's go, times up"

"As you wish mademoiselle" said Swayam and they walked away leaving Mona Lisa to smile away to herself.

--------

"We'll now give you time to enjoy the beauty of Paris from the top of the Eifel tower. Please do reach the bus by 7:30 pm. Thank you. Enjoy."

"Rey and Kriya not coming?" asked Swayam as he and Sharon along with few people entered the lift.

"No" sighed Sharon "those two idiots are scared of heights so once again it's just you and me."

"Hmmm...looks like God wants us to stay with each other today. Maybe something's in store for us." He winked.

Sharon promised herself that the next time he winked, she would kiss him on his lips. That jerk was seriously messing with her thoughts today.

PING!

As they stepped out of the lift, the impact of the wind hit them. Hell, it was strong up there. Sharon tied her scarf around her neck so that it wouldn't fly away and Swayam held her hand so that she wouldn't fly away. They walked over to the railing and placed their hands on it, admiring the beautiful city of Paris. The setting sun cast a heavenly look to the city.

"Now this is beautiful." Said Swayam. Sharon nodded in agreement and both of them absorbed the beauty of Paris.

"Sharon?"

She looked at him, motioning him to continue.

"Do you think it's time I started looking for a life partner?"

Sharon stared at him. Uh oh, touchy topic. She gulped and said "yes, I think it is."

"Will you help me then?"

Sharon felt like giving him one smack on his head.

"Yeah sure"

Swayam's face broke into a huge smile "I knew it! I knew you would agree to be my girlfriend!"

"Yeah I, WHAT?!"

A smirk replaced the smile on Swayam's face as he pulled Sharon in a hug. Sharon hugged him back, still in shock. "Did you-did you just- "

"Yes Sharon, I did. I know you feel the same for me as I do for you. Was just waiting for a chance, and I got it today."

Sharon grinned and pulled back. "I...love...you" she said hesitantly. Swayam smiled and took her hand in his "I love you too. Now give me a nice French kiss."

"A what?!" Sharon snatched her hand from his grip.

"We are in France darling. I deserve a French kiss." He winked.

That adorable idiot. There was no way Sharon was kissing him now. Let her promise go down the drain. "Let's be unpredictable dear boyfriend. I will French kiss you once we cross the borders of France okay? "

Swayam pouted and Sharon laughed out loud. "Come on Swayam, let's go to the other side" she said.

"Hey Sharon" he caught her hand "I forgot to tell you the most important thing."

"What?"

"I certainly don't think Harry Potter is a waste."

She laughed "that's not going to get a kiss from me love!" And walked to the other side.

"Well I was worth a try" whispered Swayam and ran behind Sharon to admire his love and the city of love.
