Something More
I placed a smoke between my lips and lit it, seeing the smoke rise. I looked up and examened the place where we were going to make it big, France. To make it more precise, Paris. Paris, France. It was quiet warm out and there was a slight warm breeze. I ran my hand through my hair and looked over towards the school.
Lucky bastards. They have a woman, house, money, and kids.
I sighed and watched as the bell rang and the kids streemed out of the school. I saw a little girl grab the hand of her father and I couldn't help but feel envious.
That could have been me if Barbra didn't die. But then again, I didn't really love her that much. Infact, I don't even think I could have called it love, more of just lust and drugs.
Someone caught my eye and I turned my head to see her better. Brown hair, very short jean shorts with three chains hanging from the belt loops, lose white shirt that ended just below her chest, black sandals, leather bracelet with banles, and thin black shades, she was a godess. She was heading to the school and I turned my head to watch her. She wasn't a slught at all. Like most of the woman here in Paris, she had natural beauty. I turned my head, watching her as she made her way over to the school. She sat down on a bench by the school and looked at the entry, waiting for someone. I pushed myself off of the wall and walked over to her, being to intrested in her to just watch her. I walked over to her and stood infront of her. Seeing that she didn't know I was there, I cleared my throat. She jumped and looked up at me. I smiled down at her and she smild back up.
"Can I help you?" She asked.
"No, I was just woundering if I could sit here." I said pointing at the spot besides her.
"Oh sure. What's your kid's name?"
"I don't have one."
"Oh, then who are you picking up?"
"I didn't say I was picking up anyone." She looked hurt and I smiled. "Sorry if that sounded harsh." She smiled again and shook her head.
"It's ok."
"Are you waiting for someone?"
"Yes, my little girl."
"Oh." I said. Lucky bastard has already gotten to her.
"Well, actually, she is my friends daughter, I just take care of her. She thinks I am her mother due to me having her since she was born. My friend didn't want a child, neither did her husband."
"Oh, does she know about it?"
"No, Eva is to sensitive, like me, and would probably do something stupid. We are to much alike, and I know I would probably drink my self to sleep for a long time."
"You a heavy drinker?"
"No, heavens no. I like it, but I am not heavy."
"Do you know where I can get the source for weed, crack?"
"Yes, why do you want to know?"
"Why do you think?"
"Money, greed, sex." I was shocked, she could read me like an open book with big letters.
"Well, am I right, or not?" She asked tapping her fingers on the bench.
"I guess."
"You guess?" She laughed.
"Roux!" We heard someone say. I turned my head and saw a cute little girl with blonde hair running at us. Roux laughed and got up and the girl jumped into her arms.
"Hello Eva, how was school today?" Roux asked her.
"Well, this boy asked to sit by me today at lunch." Eva giggled.
"No! Was he cute?"
"Yes!"
"Well, looks like I have to go every where with you now! I can't have some guy hitting on my lil girl now can I, you might forget all about me." Roux said, pretending to look hurt. I chuckled as Eva thought that Roux was upset. She put her small hand on Roux's cheek and rubbed it softly.
"I will never forget about you."
"I know!" Roux said and rubbed noses with Eva. For the first time in quiet a while, I had a real smile on my face.
"Who is this momy?" Eva asked pointing up at me. I kneeled down by her and took her hand, kissing the top of it.
"Why, I am George Jung, and you, what is your name missy?"
"Eva Azure."
"Very pretty, very pretty indeed."
"Thank you Mr. Jung."
"Please call me George." I smiled. I felt Roux place her hand on my shoulder and I looked up to her smiling.
"Why don't you come home with us and stay a while, we can talk about your 'buisnes'." She grinned, tipping her glasses down showing off her beautiful brown eyes. She tipped them back up and she walked around to Eva and took her hand. I got up and we walked down the streets.
"So, what is it you do for a living?" Eva asked.
"Eva, that isn't polite." Roux said.
"No, it is ok." I said. Roux looked over and tipped her glasses just enough that I could see the 'Tell her and you are dead shit' look. I nodded my head and cleared my throat as she tipped them back up. "I cell things." I said truthfuly.
"What kinds of things?"
"Eva." Roux warned.
"Well, it depends, here, I am just meeting someone."
"Who?"
"Eva, that's enough." Roux said.
"I am just woundering." Eva pouted.
"I know, you shouldn't do that, what if that cute guy sees you? Do you want him to think that you are a nosey girl?"
"No."
"Ok then. So, what is his name?"
"Sam."
"Sam, good name. I knew someone named that once." I said.
"Really, did he have black and blonde hair?" Roux asked.
"Yep. He moved here after his parents split."
"At age ninteen right?"
"Yep. Know him?"
"Yeah, he was a di-, I mean, jerk."
"Yeah, I know what you mean." I chuckled. Just knowing Roux for less then ten minutes and she was growing on me.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
It was about four hours later and Roux was making dinner. We had all gone and walked around the town due to Roux wanting me to know the place better. She said that it would help me in the future. Eva was doing her homework and I was just sitting on the couch, steeling looks at Roux. Her hair was tied up in a lose bun and she had on a short white shirt, blue checkard boxers, and a large robe. She still looked like a godess in that attire, and I couldn't help but lust for her. I decided to try to think of anything but her at the moment. I lookd over and saw Eva looking at the page, then at a blanke page, then back at the other page before groaning and running her hands through her hair. I chuckled and walked over, looking over her shoulder.
"What are you stumped on?" I asked.
"Well, I am suppose to be writing a story about something, anything, and I can't think." She complained.
"This comming from the girl that wrote a childrens book at age six." Roux yelled from the kitchen.
"That was for school mom! That wasn't published!"
"Well, it could have been if you took up my offer of me writing it." Roux called back and I heard her laugh. Eva rolled her eyes and sighed, looking at both of the papers again.
"Well, just looking at them isn't going to put words on the page." I said smiling.
"I don't know what to write. Mom is a writer and said that I had to write this on my own."
"Well, how did you make the last story?"
"I just winged it."
"Isn't that what writing is all about?"
"But this is for a grade! I can't do bad or I will faile!"
"Well, if you ask me, this whole assignment from the beginning was a failer."
"George!" Roux yelled.
"Persionally, I don't think you should worry about your grades until they start counting, around eith grade. What grade are you in? Second?"
"GEORGE!" Roux yelled.
"I am just saying-"
"No! I need help! QUICK!" Roux yelled. I instantly ran over to the kitchen and saw her with mittens on, trying to hold down the lid for the pot.
"What is it?" I asked.
"It's going to explode! Turn the switch, turn the switch!" She yelled. To late, the pot lid flew over and hot water exploded everywhere. Roux jumped out of the way and I ran over to help her up, but I slipped and fell over her. I looked down into her eyes and we bursted out with laughter.
"What is going on in here?" Eva asked and saw us laughing. She laughed as well and ran over to us, hopping on my back. I heard the air leave Roux and I looked down to make sure she was ok. She smiled and I lifted myself up a little.
"Hang on Eva." I said and she wrapped her arms around my neck as I got off of Roux. Roux smiled as I offered her my hand and took it.
"Thanks." She smiled and grabbed a towl and started whiping up the mess.
"Now Eva, back to the story." I said.
"But I am tired!" She complained.
"You didn't seem tired a minute ago."
"It was a surge of energy and it is now gone."
"Why don't you get dressed into your sleep ware and then come back and we can all work on it over some good dinner?" Roux offered.
"Ok!" Eva said happily and ran over to her room.
"She loves writing with me." Roux said, ringing out the soaked towl over the sink.
"I see." I said and walked over.
"Need any help?"
"No, but it seems that you do. Now, this is the only time we can talk about this you got it? I don't want my lil' girl to grow up around drugs."
"Kay."
"So, here is the plan, I drop Eva off at school around seven in the morning and then I am going to take you to the 'King of Heaven'." She said, then bursted out with laughter.
"King of heaven?" I asked cocking my eybrow.
"Yep. That is what he calls himself. He is my friends brother, Rick."
"Oh, so, how much do you reckon he has?"
"More then you will find anywhere else."
"Really?"
"Yep, and since you know me, it is going to be cheaper then anywhere else." She smirked.
"Ah, well, I am glad that it was you that I met today." I smiled.
"Well, you can stay here as long as you want, and I could help you out as well if I get some money. I just need enough to keep Eva in school, this house, food, clothes, maybe nicer clothes..." She said and I chuckled.
"That can be arranged."
"Good."
"What were you talking about?" Eva asked. "I heard my name."
"Is that it?" Roux asked nervisouly.
"No, I heard foor and clothes, nicer ones. Are we going shopping?"
"You can say that." I grinned.
"Yay! Now I can pick something that Sam will like!"
"Now Eva, you know that if he likes you, it-"
"Should be for my persinality and who I am, not my clothes or money, I know mom, you do that whenever I meet someone." Eva rolled her eyes. I couldn't help but smile at how beautiful this family was. Well, maybe for some secrets that are probably never going to be told, but then again, some secrets are better to be barried or forgotten then told and out in the open.
"So, let's start writing." I said and took Eva's hand. She skipped to the table as I walked and I let go of her hand, pulling out the chaire for her to sit in. She picked up the pencial and then looked up at me.
"Do you mind?" She asked annoyed.
"Oh, sorry." I saied and walked off towards Roux who was putting noodles in the steaming bowl. I looked back, and thought I saw Eva glare at me. I looked again, but saw her smiling at me. I shrugged it off and went behind Roux and asked if she needed help.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
An hour later, and we were all eating our noodles with a 'secret' sauce that Eva likes the most. The sauce was really something that Roux made up when she was board once, and it tasted good. I laughed at that story when she told it to me while she made it.
"So, what grade are you in Eva?" I asked.
"You were right before, I am in second." She said without any emotion. What happened? Did she totally change from the hour I was with Roux?
"You ok Eva?" Roux asked putting a hand on her head.
"Yes mom." She smiled and took a bight of her noodles. I cocked an eyebrow, seeing that this isn't how their dinner usually goes.
"Well, I have a movie, you guys up for one tonight?" Roux asked trying to lighten up the mood.
"Sorry mom, I am going to bed." Eva said and walked off.
"But Eva, you didn't-" We heard the door close and knew that she was in her room. Roux frowned and sighed, picking up Eva's plate and walking into the kitchen, wrapping it in some plastic to put in the fridge.
"Is everything alright?" I asked Roux.
"Yeah, why would something be wrong?"
"This isn't how it usually goes, is it?"
"No, we usually watch movies once a week, and that is the day when I get it. I guess she is sick or something is upsetting her. I bet it is Sam and she is just nervise."
"Probably. So, can I borrow a blanket and pillow?"
"Oh, no need for that, you can sleep in my room. I will be on the couch, I sleep there every night to make sure Eva doesn't have nightmeres and I am not there to confrot her."
"Are you sure?"
"Yep. The couch is actually more confortable then it sounds." She said, forcing a smile. I smiled back and walked over to her room. I walked in and saw that the bed looked like it hadn't been touched for a while. Well, she wasn't lieing about sleeping on the couch. I walked back out to ask her if she needed a blanket, and saw the lightls off, the only form of light comming from the open window that had the street lights comming in, showing her sleeping on the couch. Must have had a big day. I walked back into the room, grabbed an extra blanket, and walked out and over to her. She truley is beautiful. I smiled and put the blanket around her. She stiffened, but then relaxed as I wrapped the blanket around her. I walked back to my room and fell asleep.
