DAY SIXTEEN

There’s something about Paris that’ll fuck you up if you’re a commitment-phobe. The quaint hotels, restaurants, and shops are designed for couples who are looking for romance in The City of Lights, and if you’re not careful, you’ll buy right into that shit. I did—right after we finished her Parisian concert and still had a couple of days to recuperate before flying to Berlin.

Our routine for each city was already established, so on our final night in Paris, Sky and I dine at a local oyster bar near the Arc de Triomphe. We indulge in dozens of the aphrodisiacs and a couple of bottles of crisp white wine, which masquerades as something light but packs quite a punch. Then we share a brioche feuilletée, a decadent cinnamon roll, minus the cinnamon, served with candied fruit and homemade vanilla ice cream.

Sky’s eyes roll back after biting into this delicious dessert for the first time. “Oh my God! This tastes like an orgasm in dessert-form.”

It’s kind of a “When Harry Met Sally” moment because a few people around us hear her clearly and laugh.

She looks around at her audience and her freckled face turns beet red. She giggles. “Oops, did I just say that aloud?!”

I nod and take another bite of the confection. “Yep.” She’s adorable when she says or does something totally unexpected.

An elderly couple on the way out stops at our table and smiles. The little lady winks and says, “Your girlfriend is right.”

Sky cringes, as if she expects the other shoe to fall but we’re incognito, so the couple doesn’t realize she’s the American pop singer who just filled the city with thousands of pop music fans a couple of nights ago.

“I just may take offense at being upstaged by a dessert,” I say and the couple laughs.

“Tell me about it,” the little old man agrees, and the couple shuffles out of the restaurant, still laughing.

Sky digs into the dessert again, and with a mouthful of the confection says, “I’m just going to pretend that didn’t happen.”

The couple’s insistence that Sky was my girlfriend travels through my mind. What the fuck? In their defense, however, we have been acting like love-struck puppies for the last few weeks. My chest tightens, my lungs squeezing painfully as I breathe in. What the fuck?

A Girlfriend...

Maybe, in another lifetime, if I hadn’t fucked up my life and Kim’s the way I did. Ironically, just three weeks into Sky’s European Tour and I’m romancing a woman yet again. And, the scary thing is that I’m not sure I could stop if I tried. I mean, it’s Paris, The City of Love after all. But what if I simply don’t want to stop, regardless of what happens in the future?

I am drawn to her, and it’s damn near instinctual the way I respond to her. She makes me feel things I haven’t allowed myself to feel in a very long time—things I used to resist out of some kind of fucked-up shame—shame stemming from the last time I loved a girl, and she died.
