Chapter Seven – Telling our friends
Éponine's POV
I still can't believe it.
I am engaged to the cutest and most beautiful student in town.
''Joly, we to tell our friends. How are we going to do that?'' I asked.
''I don't know. Perhaps we should think about that right now.'' He said.
We spent the rest of the night thinking until we fell asleep in each other's arms.
*The next morning*
I was still embracing Joly when I woke up.
He's so cute when he's asleep.
I started to give little kisses all over his face.
''Joly, wake up darling.'' I whispered softly into his ear.
He groaned and woke up, rubbing his eyes.
''Good morning, my love.'' He said after giving me a kiss.
''I have the most amazing plan ever.'' I said to him.
''Well, what is your plan?'' He asked and I started telling him what my plan was.
He looked incredibly happy after I told him my plan.
''Well your plan is so much better than the plan I came up with. I'd better get you washed.'' He said whilst getting up to get water.
He started washing me after he came back with a bowl of water.
He changed my bandages and he had a new dress for me.
''Joly...How in the world do you know my size?'' I asked him.
''I measured you when I was working on your wound and then I sent Gavroche to a dress maker with the mission to get a new dress for you.'' he said, blushing.
''Aww that's so sweet of him'' I thought after he admitted it.
''Joly, I'm not angry with you. I actually think that it's very sweet of you'' I said, smiling.
His face immediately lit up with happiness.
Joly's POV
I was so happy that she wasn't angry with me.
''Darling, I'm going to get dressed and then I'll carry you downstairs for breakfast.'' I said to her.
She nodded and said ''Of course, my love.''.
My heart melts everytime she says something to me.
I managed to get dressed in 50 seconds and then I carried her downstairs.
I sat her down on a chair.
''What do you want for breakfast, darling?'' I asked.
She looked deep in thought.
''Can I have bread, please?'' she asked.
''Of course.'' I said, smiling and handed her a piece of bread.
I sat down in the chair across from her and started eating my bread.
I picked her up and carried her to the couch when we were done.
''I'll be back in a minute. I am only getting 2 of my coats.'' I said to her and she looked at me as if I said something very stupid.
''Why are you getting 2 coats?''she asked me.
''Well I don't want you to get cold so one of them is for you'' I said.
She looked at me in awe.
I went to get the 2 coats.
I tried to help her to get her coat on.
''Please, let me try to get it on myself.'' she said.
I handed her her coat and watched as she put it on.
''Well done, darling.'' I said whilst putting my own coat on.
I picked her up and carried her outside as soon as I got my own coat on.
''Could you lock the doo for me, please?'' I asked her whilst closing the door and handed her the key.
''Of course.'' she said and locked the door.
She handed the key back to me.
I put the key in my pocket and carried her to the café.
Grantaire opened the door once Éponine and I had reached the café.
''He must've been looking out of the window.'' I thought whilst carrying Éponine into the café.
I sat her down in a chair and went to get some wine for us two.
All the students were sitting around her when I came back with two mugs of wine.
They couldn't believe that she was alive.
Gavroche entered the café.
He fainted when he saw Éponine sitting.
I immediately set the mugs of wine down and went to Gavroche.
''Thank god I have always smelling salts in the pocket of my coat.'' I thought and held the smelling salts under his nose.
He immediately woke up.
''Gavroche, are you alright?'' I asked him and he nodded.
''Here let me help you get up.'' I said and helped him to get up.
''Thank you, Joly.'' He said and walked over to Éponine.
He started crying and hugged her as soon as he reached her.
''Shh, my dear. Shh. Hush now.'' Éponine said to him.
My heart melted at the sight.
I felt that I had to start with our plan.
''My dearest friends,'' I began ''Éponine and I have some very very very good news to tell you!''.
''Éponine and I are a couple now. Just take a look at her left hand.'' I said.
They all looked at her left hand.
''Are you two engaged?'' Jean Prouvaire asked after he had looked at her hand.
Éponine and I looked at each other and said in unison ''Yes, our dearest friends. We are engaged!''.
Everyone started cheering and congratulated us.
''Joly,'' Gavroche began ''thank you for caring for my sister and I can't wait to see you two getting married''.
''No problem Gavroche and did you know that I can't wait either to get married?'' I said to him.
He smiled cheekily and nodded.
I chuckled and got wine for everybody.
''On Éponine and Joly!'' Grantaire shouted.
''On Éponine and Joly!'' Everybody shouted after Grantaire.
The party had officially started.
