I really enjoy writing this story! A lightly more E/E stuff, but it's a bit more mature, so it's a bit more of a T rating. Again PLEASE COMMENT! I want to know what you guys thing about this story.

He hadn't been able to sleep much, his head was throbbing, but even worse were his thoughts. Why had he grabbed her that way? And her reaction. She seemed so strong and tough, but with a mere touch he had taken all that away. He knew he had to make things right, he had to talk to Marius.

He got up in the early morning, finally able to sleep for just a few hours. He dressed himself, grabbing his red jacket as usual, and made his way down to Marius' apartment.

He was just about to leave after spending five minutes knocking at the when a disheveled Marius answered the door.

"Enjolras? What are you doing here?" then he saw the large gash on Enjolras' eyebrow, "What happened to you?"

"That is unimportant. I need your help. Do you know where I could find Eponine."

Marius was taken aback. Never in his time of knowing Enjolras had he asked if he knew where to find a girl. Enjolras just stared back cooly, waiting for a reply.

"Uh, well unless she's working, she might be in the second-hand bookstore."

"Thank you" he said quickly and turned to leave.

"Are you sure you are all right?"

Enjolras took a moment before turning his head towards Marius.

"Of course."

He kept his head down as he walked down the street. He wasn't really sure what to say to her if he found him, but he knew he had to make sure he apologized.

Within a few minutes he reached the store, which had just opened. He entered and looked around, but, to his disappointment, saw no one. Just as he was about to leave, something caught his eye. Just a small movement behind one of the bookcases. He moved quickly and saw her, utterly entranced by the book she was holding.

"It's a good book." he leaned against the shelf, trying to seem relaxed.

Eponine jumped slightly at being addressed. Then realizing her who the voice belonged to she lowered the book and looked at him.

"Is there something I can do for you, monsieur?"

He moved forward, towards her, but stopped a few feet away, making sure to giver her space.

"I wanted to thank you for last" he took a slight pause, "as well as apologize."

She seemed to relax for a little, but the hand holding the book was still clenched.

"I didn't mean to scare or offend you," he continued, "what you thought, I didn't really..." he never had this much trouble getting words out, but he wasn't sure what he wanted to say.

Eponine held back the laughter that was threatening to come pouring out. It was obvious that Enjolras was the type of man the could use his words well, and to watch him struggle to complete a single sentence was rather entertaining. It was so entertaining in fact, that she wanted to have just a little bit more fun.

She put the book on top of the shelf and approached him slowly, her head slightly bowed down. When she reached him she looked up at him seductively. She gently reached her arms up, putting them on his shoulders, feeling him tense up.

"Are you sure you don't want..." she let her soft, low, bewitching voice trail off before finishing her sentence as she moved her hands down his muscular chest.

He looked away, trying to breath and relax. Woman usually didn't have this effect on him, but Eponine's light touch and soothing voice were making him unable to think straight. He grabbed her wrists before her hands got too low and looked at her. She stared back for a second before letting her lips break into a taunting smile.

She pushed him away, full out laughing by this point.

His confusion was slowly turning into anger, but somehow, he still didn't have anything to say.

Finally she stopped laughing, after taking a long, deep breath she looked at him.

" I apologize, but you looked so confused, and I had to do it."

"Of course," he said icily.

They both looked defiantly at each other.

"I should go" she said walking past him.

He stood there for a moment, still trying to catch his breath. Realizing that he hadn't actually apologized he followed her outside, grabbing the book she had left and leaving some coins next to the cashier to pay for it.

"Eponine!"

She stopped and turned around, watching him cross the street and reach her.

"You forgot something." he said handing her the book.

"No, it's not mine, I didn't pay for it."

"Don't make me slip it in your pocket."

They both smiled, and she took the book from him.

"Enjolras, Eponine!"

They both looked up to see Marius coming, being followed by little Gavroche.

He ran up to Eponine and hugged her.

"Where were you last night." he said pulling away and trying to sound commanding.

Enjolras looked at her, his head tilted slightly to one side, trying to non-verbally communicate with her as she tried not to meet his eyes.

"I had a job to do Roche." she said soothingly, patting his head.

"Right, of course" he stepped away again and looked up at Enjolras. "I like your jacket."

"Thank you" Enjolras replied as Marius chuckled.

"That old thing. He's had that for more time than I've known him."

Enjolras just nodded, rolling his eyes. He looked up to see a few men across the street, watching the group. He recognized them instantly. Marius and Gavroche were deep in conversation, but Eponine saw him staring and turned to see what he was looking at. She turned back to him.

"You're not planning to do something are you?"

He looked back at her, waiting a little before answering.

"Should I be?"

She looked back at the group, which had a new man. He whispered something to the others and the drew back into the shadows as he walked towards them, limping slightly.

"Gavroche, come!" he commanded. The young boy looked up then moved timidly towards his father, but Eponine stood in the way.

"He is with me."

He gave her an evil, toothy grin and was about to answer when Marius stepped, not as cheerful and lighthearted as usual stepped up.

"Here, for your trouble Monsieur Thenardier." he said reaching into his pocket and pulling a few silver coins.

"Ah that's all well and good, but see, it only covers little Gavroche. EPONINE" he barked, " with me."

Enjolras was about to step up but Eponine grabbed his hand. He looked down at her and she forcefully whispered "No"

Thenardier looked back at them and chuckled.

"I recognize you." he said pulling out a pocket-watch from his trousers.

Marius watched curiously as Enjolras clenched his hands, leaning forward again and Eponine, who still held his wrist, pulling him back as she herself walked forward, towards the place the other men had been standing. After giving Enjolras one last look, her father followed, leaving a confused Marius, a slightly worried Gavroche and a very enraged Enjolras.

Hope you liked it. I felt the ending was kinda weird because it didn't come very well to me. I'm gonna make a deal with you guys, if I reach five comments, I'll post the new chapter.
