I am still unsure if I am going to continue this story so your thoughts will be appreciated to help make a decision.

Please read and review.


"Something smells good" Enjolras walked into the kitchen, trying to straighten his tie.

"Morning, breakfast will be ready soon" Eponine replied over her shoulder without taking her eye off the food she was cooking as she didn't want it to burn.

"What happened to wanting eggs sunny side up?" Enjolras laughed sitting down at the small table in the middle of the kitchen.

Eponine laughed dishing the food out onto the two plates she had already gotten out of the cupboard. "I was awake before you and I couldn't find my clothes so I thought I'd make us some breakfast. Hope you don't mind" she picked up the two plates and walked over to the table, placing the plates onto the table before sitting down across from Enjolras.

"I don't mind after all breakfast for me is normally a piece of toast as I walk out of the door. Especially not this" Enjolras motioned to the plate in front of him. "What exactly is this?" he asked cutting into it.

"It's an egg white omelette with bacon, fresh tomatoes and herbs. It's much healthier than a piece of toast on your way out" Eponine replied cutting into her own breakfast.

"I keep forgetting you're a chef, if you don't mind me asking how did that even happen?" Enjolras asked remembering last night how she said she left school and went straight into work where as he thought to become a chef you had to go to a culinary school.

Eponine swallowed the food in her mouth, washing it down with her coffee before speaking. "When I left school I got a job as a dish washer in a restaurant nothing fancy and it didn't pay much but it was more than I already had. Around three months into that job they were looking for someone to do some simple food prep and I asked if I could do it and the head chef Michael said I could as I already worked there."

Eponine took another bite of her breakfast as she didn't want it to go cold, followed by another sip off coffee before continuing her story. "About a year later, Michael left to open his own restaurant and took me with him and then he decided to trainee me himself or and with him training me to become a chef. He paid for me to sit my exams to get my qualification then when he opened his second restaurant he made me head chef at I was his protégé or as he likes to say. If it was the karate kid he would be my Mr Miyagi and the rest if history"

"If all your food is as good as this then I might have to come down to your restaurant" Enjolras shot Eponine a smile across the table.

"It's surprising you all haven't been down yet, I mean I've even been to your law firm and everyone else's work place but none of you have come to the restaurant"

"Like I said I might have to pay a visit"

"Good to know but by any chance have you seen my clothes?" Eponine asked feeling underdressed seeing Enjolras dressed head to toe in an expensive looking suit.

"Oh sorry, after you fell asleep last night I remembered about your clothes so I sent them downstairs to be cleaned, they should be back up any time now" Enjolras explained hoping she wouldn't be mad that she sent her clothes to be cleaned. "Do you have any plans for today?"

"Apart from getting back into my own flat, I don't have to be at work until two so nothing until then" Eponine shrugged hoping she can get in touch with her landlady to bring the spare key or else she's going to be screwed if she can't get back into her own flat.

"How about I pick you up after work and we can you know" Enjolras replied hoping she would understand what he was trying to say without him actually having to mention the small three letter word.

"Calm down, for somebody who doesn't like being touch you're awfully eager to jump into bed" Eponine sat back in her chair, looking at the blonde in front of her. She knows how much having a baby means to his future but he's a little too eager for her liking. "I mean it's not even been twelve hours since we last did it"

"I know but the more we do it, the more chance we have"

"I know but you're acting like a dog in heat" Eponine joked even if it is only female dogs that have heat spells but he is acting like one and wouldn't be surprised if he called her out on that point. "The last thing I want is chafing"

"I know but you don't finish work until almost midnight so by then it will have been twenty-four hours" Enjolras finished his breakfast pushing his plate into the middle of the table before grabbing his cup of coffee.

"How about I text you, we don't need to decide on anything right this minute and you might be tried from work. I'll let you know on my break around nine thirtyish" Eponine replied not wanting to talk about a schedule on when they should have sex. If Enjolras had his way then she wouldn't be surprised if he didn't give her a colour coded schedule of when and where.

"Just let me know then" Enjolras stood up from the table moving his empty plate onto the counter near the sink for washing. "You can stay here as long as you want, just close the door behind you. I need to get to work" Enjolras walked out of the kitchen without looking at Eponine.

"Enjolras wait" Eponine chased after him knowing he was in a mood with her after all Enjolras is the only person whose mood can change so fast you don't even see it coming.

"What do you want?" he snapped turning around to look at her.

"I know you're eager for this to happen but these things can take time and it doesn't mean you have to be on top of me all the time" She placed her hand onto his arm hoping he wouldn't be mad at her. "The only reason I don't want to make plans right now is because I don't know how work is going to be tonight, sometimes after work I'm exhausted and just want to sleep" she thought she should explain to him.

Some night the restaurant can be really busy that she doesn't get a break and by the time she's finished all she wants to do is jump into bed and stay there forever.

Enjolras nodded his head ok while grabbing his bag off the table by the door so he can leave for work before he's late. "How about lunch we meet for lunch, my treat?"

"You don't have to do that" Eponine shook her head no.

"You said last night we have things to talk about and as you made breakfast, I'm buying you lunch. I'll text you the details later"

With one last smile, Enjolras left his flat leaving Eponine alone. She would leave if she had her clothes but until then she is stuck here.


Enjolras pulled up outside Eponine's flat and beeped his horn to let her know he was there. After his morning at work he was happy he suggested taking Eponine to lunch earlier that morning just so he could get a break for the high profile case and the ego if the client he's working with. Why his father assigned him to this case he will never know because his father knows he hates having to work with people like the egotistical client that came with it. Just because the man had money he thinks he's done no wrong.

"Well you looked stressed" Eponine climbed into the passenger seat, buckling her seatbelt.

"I really don't want to talk about it, I only got this case last week and I've already had enough" Enjolras groaned as he pulled away from her flat and headed towards the restaurant he was taking her too.

"Just out of curiosity, how many cars do you have?" Eponine asked admiring the red Audi he had picked her up in. normal she would see him in a range rover but for some unknown reason he wasn't in it.

"Just two, this was a gift from my father for passing my exams" Enjolras replied.

"I so want to borrow this car"

"No way, I've seen the way you drive" Enjolras laughed remembering the last time he got into a car with her driving. Unlike other men Enjolras want that into cars but he knew his father would hit the roof if this got damaged.

"Hey there is nothing wrong with my driving, just because I don't drive like a pensioner like someone people" she replied meaning him. This wasn't the first time she had been in a car with him and everyone in the group says he drives like an only man unlike everyone else.

"It's called responsible drive and not wanting to die" Enjolras defended his driving unlike Eponine who think just because no one else is on the road it means she can forget about the speed limit. What kind of lawyer would he be if he broke the law by speeding?

Eponine hit his arm as hard as she could without it leaving a mark. "I'm responsible"

"Don't hit the driving while he's driving"

"Whatever, so are you going to tell me where you're taking me or not?" she asked knowing arguing with Enjolras is never a good idea due to the fact it can last days as they're both to suborn to admit when they're wrong.

"So how was your morning?"

"After I finally got my clothes back and got back into my flat, I had a shower, video chatted with Gav for a while as he didn't have a class and then you turned up"

"How is Gavroche?" Enjolras asked curiously knowing how hard law can be.

"He's fine just snowed under with school but said he needed a break, I told him about our deal and he said it was gross and he didn't need to know but can't wait to be an uncle" Eponine laughed remember the face Gavroche pulled when she told him about trying to have a baby with Enjolras.

"So he doesn't mind that we're doing this?" Enjolras asked as Gavroche can be protective of Eponine. When he was fifteen, Courfeyrac tried hitting on Eponine and even though he is good friends with Courfeyrac, Gavroche ended up punching him and telling him to leave his sister alone.

"I think so, I had to explain everything to him but it's only fair he knows after all he is my family. He wasn't happy about the fact it's nothing more than having a baby but once I told him I was happy to do it and everything else he said it was ok"

"Good because he isn't as little anymore, also next time you talk to him. Tell him if he any need any help with his school work to just give me a call as I've been through it all" Enjolras offered knowing how hard it can be at times.

"Will do" Eponine replied as Enjolras pulled into the parking lot of the restaurant where they all went for Jehan's birthday last year. "I feel like a traitor to my own restaurant now. OK I know it's not my restaurant but you know what I mean"

"One day you could have your own restaurant" Enjolras climbed out of the car as Eponine followed.

"And pigs might fly" she replied knowing in order to have her own restaurant she needs to have money and that's one thing she doesn't have. "My first priority if getting Gavroche through school"

"Come on, let's get something to eat" Enjolras placed his hand onto the small of her back, guiding her towards the entrance of the restaurant.


OK I know it's nothing special but this is sort of a filler chapter into the next chapter.

The rest of the group are going to come into it soon, possibly even the next chapter if anyone was wondering about them.

Please stick with this story as it will get better, I just think I need to build and focus on their friendship a little but you can tell me if I'm wrong.

Please leave a review as they mean a lot to me and make me want to write
