"You're probably right about that," Arielle laughed from the shower at Aiden's comment about them showering together. "Besides, we'll have plenty of time for that kind of stuff later. For now, I just wanna go sight seeing with my boo."

After a good 10 minute shower and getting dressed, applying the make-up, putting on her jewelry and all her usual preparations for an outing, Arielle stepped out of the bathroom posing for Aiden in a new outfit she had picked up only a few days before their trip.

"I know it's cold outside, but I still like to look good. Besides, I have a coat," she smiled at Aiden. "Now come on! I'm starving!" she laughed grabbing her purse and the Aiden's hands. "Need. Food. Now."

Aiden was a little unsure about Arielle choice of clothing for the weather. Not that he was complaining. Never that. And if she got sick then he would make her stay in bed all day and take care of her. Either way it was a win-win situation.

"You would make rags look good Arielle," he said as she led him out of the room. They took the elevator and it wasn't crowded at all. They were they only ones in it for a fact.

The breakfast was complete with a buffet of a wide variety of dishes. Aiden grabbed a plate of eggs, bacon, a couple biscuits and a bowl of oatmeal and sat down to eat with Arielle. The food smelled delicious. "This looks really good. What do you want to do today?"

"Hm...." Arielle thought about Aiden's questioned while digging into her own plate. Which was occupied by eggs, sausage and a couple slices of toast. French toast ironically. "Well, definitely want to go to The Louvre. I absolutely love art. Then after that, some lunch. I suppose I want to see Notre Dame also. We'll just have to see where the day will take us. As for tonight after dinner..." she paused to go in her purse and took out a miniature video cam.

"I thought we could make our own little version of 'One Night in Paris' " she winked and then took a bite of her sausage. "Yum."

"That sounds like a good idea," said Aiden about visiting the Louvre and the other places. Then Arielle brought out the video camera and said something about making a movie. The feline mutant had ever heard of the film she was talking about. But from her body language and what she was hinting at Aiden began to have a pretty good idea. "No complaints here," he said while grinning.

They went to the Louvre first. Aiden had a hard time of keeping his attention focused on the paintings while he was there. They just didn't seem to hold his interest. But that was understandable when they were compaired to the girl who was with him.

After having survived that torture, Aiden turned to Arielle and asked, "Is it about time to stop for lunch?"

Arielle was having a pleasant time while they were visiting The Louvre. It was nice that she was actually getting to see some of the art work she had learned about so much in art history classes through out her schooling in person. Still she couldn't help but get the feeling that Aiden wasn't having as nice a time as she was. That he was actually suffering though it just for her. It only made her love him even more.

"Is it about time to stop for lunch?"

"Right now? I was hoping we can go back through a second time and maybe a third. You can never see too much fine art..." she teased him knowing well he cringed inside. "Sure we can go grab a bite to eat. There's gotta be a french pastry shop around here or something. I'm in the mood for something sweet. "

"No. Please. Anything but that. I'll do anything," he said with mock horror. Aiden knew she was only joking. Or hoped she was for the most part. Then she asked for something sweet. You're making this too easy for me, he thought. Stepping a little bit closer Aiden gave her a light kiss. "Oh. Is that not what you had in mind?"

While laughing he took her hand and led her down the street. His enhanced nose searching for a deliciously smelling bakery. He found one on the next block. Walking up to the counter Aiden said, "I'll have whatever your having." Leaving Arielle to decide.

"You're such a dork. But your sugar is always the best," Arielle smiled to Aiden after he kissed her. Then the led her to the nearest pastry shop allowing her to choose what they would snack on.

"Oh, thanks a lot. Not like it's a hard decision," she said sarcastically with a smile as she bent down and looked through the glass at the various desserts. All of them looked scrumptious. She wanted to try them all, but she knew that'd be hell on her figure.

"I say, we should get a bag of macaroons. They look pretty and delicious," she said and placed her order to the baker in french. As their ordered was being repaired Arielle turned around and wrapped her arms around Aiden. She laughed in her head how every other minute they were either hugging, holding hands or kissing. They were like love sick teenagers or newlyweds. She didn't care though. It felt good to have someone to cuddle with all the time.

"Having a wonderful time with you, but I feel kind of bad for leaving poor Shin alone at the mansion. Lord knows that boy is bored without me having to kick his ass," she laughed thinking about everyone back at the mansion, wondering how they were doing.

As Arielle bent over and examined the pastries, Aiden couldn't help but examine her backside. It was nice to have someone to look at and not get into trouble for it. She said the words 'beautiful and delicious'. The feline mutant couldn't help but say, "Just like you."

As she moved to embrace him, Aiden smiled. He liked the fact that Arielle always wanted to be near him. He knew he felt good whenever they were touching no matter what it was. Holding hands, kissing, hugging. It was all good to Aiden. He didn't care what other people thought of them either.

"Who's Shin?" It really didn't matter to Aiden. They relationship wasn't in danger judging by what they shared with each other last night. But he still wanted to cover all his bases. He wasn't jealous just curious.

"Shin is one of my friends back at the mansion. I met him my first night in New York." Arielle told Aiden. "He's kind of like my partner in fun and mischief. Everything from snowball fights to training and working out. I feel kind of bad because I haven't really hung out with him in the past few weeks. I've been occupied," she giggled, running a finger down Aiden's chest. Nothing was more entertaining than teasing him with her touch. That was cut short when the baker announced that they're order was ready and Arielle clapped her hands giddily and scurried over to the counter like a little girl down the Barbie aisle of Toys R US.

"merci beaucoup!" she gave a slight bow to the baker after paying him and taking her treats. She returned to Aiden's side and immediately took a bite of of a macaron. "Yummers!" she laughed and wasted no time pulling out another one and popping it into Aiden's mouth. "Good, yes?"

Just like Aiden thought. Nothing to worry about. That was at least until he met this Shin. "I have been rather selfish with you haven't I?" said Aiden. And then she ran her finger down the length of his chest.

Aiden hated and loved it at the same time. The reason he hated was because he really couldn't do anything back. Doing the same thing to her in public would have invited more than a few curious looks. He sighed at the double standard. He would have to think of a way to get back at her.

After having the pastry shoved in his mouth, the feline mutant bit into it and tasted the food. "It's pretty good," he said as he munched. "Where to next my love?" It didn't matter to him what they did next. He was with Arielle. That's all that mattered. But he was going to put his foot down if she suggested the Louvre again.

"Um...we could visit the Notre Dame Cathedral? I think I should atone for my sins to come," she wink smacking Aiden on the butt and scurried towards the door. She gave one quick look back and waved flirtatiously before making her exit out the door.

"Never gonna get me!" she cried laughing. She was having too much fun and loved playing little tease games with him.

"What about the ones you've already committed?" He asked smiling as she ran past him. Not before giving his butt a nice little smack. Aiden had not really been paying much attention to her until she stood at the door while taunting him.

These games have got to stop. Why? You know you like when she messes with you.

The feline mutant ran after Arielle as quickly as he could. Aiden knew she wouldn't be that hard to catch. With his enhanced senses along with his longer legs she didn't stand a chance. But he wanted to see how far she was willing to take this new game of hers. So he followed her closely but not enough to make her think that he was gaining on her. He thought she had some destination in mind when she had ran away.

Arielle continued a light jog down the streets. Every so often she'd look over her shoulders and saw him closing in on her. "Heh, I forgot who was chasing me. A man with the speed, power and senses of a jungle cat..." she chucked a bit and made a shard turn around a corner of an alley and placed her back against the wall huffing and puffing.

"Not the right kind of shoes for running," she sighed looking down at her heeled boots. She thought about running some more, but in truth, she wanted to be caught. This whole game of predator and prey with him always ended happily. She grew a devious grin thinking about it.

Aiden saw that she had turned the corner down the alleyway. And heard her footsteps stop. She probably thought she had lost him. It was either that or she wanted to get caught. And from what Aiden knew of Arielle, it was probably the latter.

He turned the corner and found her pressed up against the wall. The feline mutant walked up to her and leaned up against the wall as if he were tired from running after her. "This whole cat and mouse game has got to stop." Then he moved from his position and held her close as he began to breathe normally.

He could hear her heart beating as she stood there in front of him their bodies so close. Aiden then made a show of looking at his watch. "Oh look at the time. It's getting late. I think we should get back to the hotel." The boyish grin on his face gave away his true intentions though.

"But I like playing games with you. It's so fun..." she smirked as Aiden had pulled her in close to him and noted the grin on his face when he mentioned the time and going back to the hotel. She giggled a bit. "You are so bad..." she said pulling him slowly into a long kiss. After she breaking the lip lock and spoke again.

"What makes you think you're gonna get what you want? Suppose I wanna go back to The Louvre ?" she smiled deviously. "In fact, I think that's whats gonna happen. You're out of luck, buddy. I'm not going back unless you physically pick me up and carry me back against my will."
