A.N- Thank you everyone for reading/following/favoriting this story. All of your reviews have been great!

A few things about the story! First, I will be away for a week so I probably wont be able to update. :( Second, I realized that I never established a time period for the story. The time period will be modern, this way everyone is clear. Also Cossette and Marius relationship will make a larger appearance later on. Cossette will also be making an appearance soon, I just don't know when. I just want to establish Enjolras and Éponine characters and more of Éponine's backgrounds and feelings. This chapter will focus on how Gavroche knows Enjolras, Enjolras' feelings, and more about the le Amis. There will be some smut in this chapter. Also there will be a revolution, but that will be much later on in the story.

Chapter 4

Enjolras' Point of View

Enjolras did not know what to think of his little encounter with Éponine. Enjolras was never at a lost for words, which is why he was the main speaker during rallies, and debates. He did not understand why he felt so nervous around this girl.

Enjolras was still in shock that he kissed her hand. He wondered if people even still did that any more. His lips felt like they were on fire after he had kissed her small cold hand. What shocked him even more is that he asked to see her again. Enjolras never gave any women a first glance, never mind a second glance.

Anytime women tried to get close to him, he just pushed them away. The women who seemed to chase after him at the university just seemed interested in flirting, hooking up, drinking, and sex. Not like Enjolras did not enjoy those things, he just never had time to indulge in those activities for hours on end. He was to focused on changing France.

Enjolras then realized that his friends were also trying to France, and they still made time for all of those things.

Enjolras knew that he had to sit down and clear his head. He could not believe that some girl he just meet was making feel this way.

Enjolras walked backed to table where his friends were sitting. Marius, Bahroel, Bossuet, Combeferre, Courfeyrac, Feuilly, Grantaire, Joly, and Jehan were all sitting at their usual table at the café getting ready to have their daily meeting about their projects to improve France. Courfeyrac had young Gavorche in the chair next to him as the young boy sipped a chocolate milkshake. Enjolras began to think back to when he had first meet Gavorche. He had wish he known at the time his sister was Éponine.

Flashback: 3 Months ago

He had just finished his last class for the week. He was on his way to Café Musian to meet up with his friends. He decided to stop at the market on his since he needed a few things for his apartment. He stopped a bread station to buy a loaf, and to pick up cheese. He then walked though the rest of the market when he saw Marius walking with a young boy, who was about ten years old.

"Marius!" he yelled.

"Enjolras" Marius said as he went to shake his friends hand.

"Who is your new friend?' Enjolras asked.

"My name is Gavorche, Monsieur."

"Gavorche. Nice to meet you lad." Enjolras said stick out his hand to young boy. "How did do you know Marius?" he asked Gavorche, curiosity staring to get the best of him.

"Gavorche got into trouble with a shopkeeper about an hour ago for taking a few of his apples. I paid the gentlemen, and then spoke to Gavorche about his actions, when his sister came over to thank me." Marius said to Enjolras. "His sister works at the Café Musian, during the mornings, where I normally get breakfast. I recognized her when she walked over, I didn't realize that she was his sister until she told me. She lives in the apartment above the Café. She had to go take her other brother to the doctors."

"So are you watching a boy you just meet, whose sister is a waitress where you go and eat breakfast?" Enjolras asked Marius.

"No not really Gavroche's other sister Alzema is cashier in that butchers stand. I was just talking to Gavorche while he was waiting for her to get off work. The three of us walked into the butchers shop. Éponine left, and I waited with Gavorche. His other sister talked to us when she did not have a customer. We came outside a few minutes ago to get some fresh air. I figured it would fun to talk to Gavorche while I was waiting for the meeting to start, by the way Éponine are really good friends. I have been trying to convince her to come to the meetings for a while, but Gavorche will be joining us " Marius said.

"Oh" said Enjolras. Enjolras could see a young girl in the butchers. He was surprised that a young boy would be interested in their meetings. Although it was never was a bad idea to have young people apart of the Cause. The young were the future of the France. Enjolras might as well try and explain to the boy what was going on in France, this way Gavorche would be more aware when he got older.

"Well Gavorche! I think we need to get going to the meeting, otherwise we will be late!" Enjolras said to an excited Gavorche as his sister Alzema grabbed his hand.

End Flash back.

Enjolras looked at as friends as he was getting ready to start the meeting. Enjolras knew that it was going to be hard to sit through the meeting without thinking about Éponine. He also knew that his friends had seen the whole encounter, Marius especially, and that they were going to ask him about it. He just hope that he had the answers they wanted to hear, and they would be able to help him make sense over everything.

"Good evening everyone! Could everyone please tell the group a quick summary about you are working on, your progress, any problems, and future plans." Enjolras said to the whole group.

Everyone in the group went around quickly and spoke about their on going projects. The meeting after that was over because it was a Friday night. Soon everyone began to talk about other things.

"Enjolras what was up with you and that girl over there?" asked Grantaire. He already had a few drinks in him, so it was not surprising that he asked him that question. All of his friends were looking right at him, he could feel this neck getting red from embarrassment.

Enjolras was waiting for this happen. He just hoped that when he did, that he would be able to answer.

"I was just talking to her!" Enjolras said to the group.

"Just talking to her? Bullshit you were staring at her with you mouth wide open, and you were speechless. You of all people were speechless" said Courfeyrac.

"Please you were smiting with her," said Joly.

"Don't lie to us Marius told us what happened between the two of you over there," said Bahroel.

"Please Enjolras don't be ashamed or nervous about anything. She was very pretty. I saw the way she looked at you, and the way you looked at her. You two were looking into each others souls. That had to be one of the most romantic things I have ever seen." Jehan the young poet said. "you two looked like you were in your world, and that nothing could ever get between the two of you, it was love at first sight."

"Jehan! Will you relax." Said Combeferre. "The two of them just meet, at you are already picking out china patterns for the reception."

"you men know nothing about love!" complained the young poet.

"Guys I think Jehan is right!" said Enjolras, realizing that he did not know a thing about love and romance, and that was the reason why he was so confused. He did not know what it was like to someone, which is why he did not know how to react when he meet Éponine.

She was a nice girl from what he could tell. She was attractive, actually more than attractive; she was the most beautiful women that he has never meet. If she were anything like Marius described personality, then he would like her. He was sure of it.

"I am right," said Jehan.

"Yes you are! I know nothing about love" said Enjolras.

At this point everyone just looked at him like he had five heads.

"What did I say?" Enjolras asked.

"Love? Enjolras I have know you my entire life. You and women are like oil and water. Are you feeling alright?" Combeferre asked him.

"Yes I am fine!" Enjolras snapped. He was starting to get annoyed at the fact his friends were not following his logic.

"Seriously Enjolras. You and love and women are never put in the same sentence, never mind the same book." Said Feuilly.

"I don't mean love as in, I am going to go marry her tomorrow. I mean I don't know anything about talking to girls, or romance or any of the crap that Jehan writes about his poems" Enjolras said.

"Hey! My poems aren't crap! Just because up until and hour ago you were completely made of stone and were not capable of feeling, doesn't mean my work is crap." Said the poet, who like he was somewhere between crying, and hitting him.

"I don't think he meant crap, as in they were bad, just crap in terms of that he is in a crappy situation because like you said up until an hour ago we all thought he was made of marble" said Bahroel, trying to relax Jehan.

"Enjolras" said Marius, who had been silent this whole time. "When you meet her later, just relax. Be yourself. Éponine is humble, and independent! She doesn't need someone to treat her like a child. Just treat her like a lady. I know you can do that. And you do know how to romance a girl. You kissed her hand, and she thought it was great. You could tell by the look on her face. Just be yourself."

"Marius thank you my friend. Thank you everyone for helping me. I am surprised you didn't make fun of me." Enjolras said to his friends.

"Oh don't worry we did when you were with her early." Said Grantaire as he took another sip from his bottle. Everyone else started to laugh or smirk. Enjolras should have known, he was starting to get self-conscious again.

"Thanks guys" Enjolras said sarcastically this time as he rolled his eyes.

"Enjolras ignore Grantaire." said Courfeyrac. "we all had a little laugh about because it was shocking to see you so out of your element. But take a chance for once in your life. I know you have your life planned out since, you want to create the better France that you and your mom wanted to see but I know she would want for someone other than us to share that dream with you. She would also want there to be someone that changed you for the better."

Enjolras was surprised that his friend brought his mom into this. But he knew he was right, his mom would want him to date, and to have someone special other than his friends.

All Enjolras knew is that Éponine was not some typical college girl. She had an interesting past from what Marius had told him. She was different to say the least, but not in a bad way. He knew that he liked her, and their something about her that was just addictive; it was poisoning him and stabbing at his heart in all the right ways.

Enjolras knew that midnight was not going to come quick enough. He just hoped that she felt the same way.

Enjolras then felt a tap on his shoulder. He saw that it was Gavorche.

"Enjolras before you meet my sister later, we need to have a talk!" Gavorche said to him, and signaled him to the bar area, so that they could talk.

Enjolras took the hint. He got out of his chair and followed the boy. Knowing Gavorche this could be interesting. He just hoped that it would not negatively effect his night.
