Sorry I haven't posted sooner. With the holiday weekend I haven't been home much. But here you go, tell me what you think!

Chapter 5

"Monsieur Enjolras, why are you supporting a cause for the poor?" Eponine looked Enjolras up and down, from his fancy coat to his shined shoes, " I mean when you clearly have money."

"I'm not doing it for me. I have a voice and the money to support it. I'm doing it for the people without a voice, we are all equal, no matter how much a pocket holds."

"Wow Monsieur, I'm pleasantly surprised to see an emotional side to you," Eponine replied, shocked.

"I have plenty of sides, you've only seen one Eponine," Enjolras looked Eponine straight in they eyes, "and I can only hope I have the opportunity to share more of them with you."

Enjolras was shocked by the words that came out of his mouth! He didn't have time for a relationship, he didn't even want one; especially with Eponine and her strong opinions, but maybe that's exactly the reason he liked her. She wasn't afraid to share her mind, just like he wasn't afraid to show his.

Enjolras was relieved to see Marius strolling up to the table because he would break the awkward silence that had fallen between the two, "Eponine, the owner wants to see you! She says she could really use some help around here, and thinks you could do well."

"Thank you Marius, who is she?" Eponine asked.

"Over in the right corner, near the doors to the kitchen."

"Thank you! Wish me luck!" Eponine said over her shoulder as she walked in the direction she was told, "Hello, I'm here to talk to you about a job, Marius sent me,"

"Yes, yes sit down!" the owner was a plump lady, with soft features and round dark brown eyes. She was motherly, like everyone was her own child, " so Marius says you are looking for a job, any specific reason you would like to work here?"

"I live near by, it's only a short walk from home to here," Eponine knew her answer wouldn't be enough and took a risk by adding, " And I know Les Amis de l'ABC meet here, and I'm interested in knowing more of their plans."

By the nod the owner gave her, Eponine knew she had said the right thing, "you've got the job. I need someone who can keep those boys in place, and you seem like a good choice. You walked in with both Monsieur Enjolras and Monsieur pontmercy and total chaos hasn't broke loose yet, so you must have some sort of magic in you."

"Oh thank you, Madam, you won't regret it! I'll be here bright and early tomorrow!"


Eponine had a job! So this chapter wasn't the most exciting, but the next few are good so far. I'll try to post another chapter soon. Thanks for reading.
