She had always hated walking alone at night.
In Paris, one was likely to be attacked or worse, if they were found walking the streets alone and in the dark. At night it was always colder and things just seemed more hopeless. Eponine had avoided it when she could, but sometimes it was necessary.
Here, it was a little better. Eponine didn't have to stay out at night, she had a warm apartment to stay in when it got dark. But, now, she had to. She had to see Marius after all of this, had to know what he was saying to her was true. It was foolish to think he was lying, but some part of her wouldn't be put to rest until it saw the truth in his eyes.
Even though it wasn't cold, she shivered, folding her arms and continuing to walk. Thankfully, Marius' apartment building was close to hers, just a few minutes away. Still, walking alone and with what was on her mind, Eponine wasn't enjoying herself. It was bringing back rather unpleasant memories that she would have preferred buried.
Things were a little better when she was inside and walking up to Marius' apartment. She took the stairs, not having any patience with the elevator. The apartment wasn't far up anyway, only a few floors. Once she'd arrived, there was a certain sense of relief. Eponine rapped twice on the door. "Marius?"

"Something wrong?" she grinned mischievously. "Have you thought of something bad that may be written about you?

"Possibly," he said, catching her mischievous tone. "There's probably an entire chapter that says nothing but MARIUS IS A JERK over and over again."

She laughed. "I wouldn't doubt it! Though, I daresay the author is a bit more eloquent than that."

"Perhaps I should..." he broke off, rather shocked at himself. His instinct to protect, to be a gentleman, was warring with a much deeper instinct.
He wasn't quite sure what to do except to fight it. Only Eponine made him feel this way. She made him feel all sorts of things he'd never felt before.
It was glorious, heady, and a bit frightening.
He kissed her again,but couldn't stop the soft, incoherent sound of pleasure that passed his lips.

Date: 2012-07-11 04:20 pm (UTC)Worry left her, though, once his lips met hers again. Eponine returned it, wrapping her arms around his neck and tangling her fingers in his hair. God, this was incredible. Marius' kisses, especially ones like this, always made her feel as though she was flying.
Or something to that effect. Eponine had read that in a book once and decided it was an accurate description.

He bent down for another kiss.

"I love you..." she murmured against his lips as they had to pause for air. Perhaps it was still too early to say it...but Eponine didn't care.
