Silver Soul

Lady Killer

{Joesph Descamps POV}

"Who's this pretty girl Joey"

I can feel my palms sweat and my throat felt dry. My mouth opened but I didn't have the courage to speak. I turned to see Anne her eyebrows shrugged in confusion. I focused on my mother that was standing waiting for a response from me.
"Ummm" that's all I can muster up
"I'm Anne Boleyn Blanchet madam" Anne reaches for my mother's hand with a big smile on her face. Did she always have dimples?

My mother didn't say anything back to Anne she just looked at her. Then she raises her hand and touches Anne's wavy hair with affection.

"You're Anne Boleyn Blanchet"said my mom in a quite different voice
"Yes that's me"
"Joey didn't tell me your last name"my mom chuckled
"I don't know how I didn't see it you're just like her! I can't believe I didn't realize, you're Joan's daughter" my mother took a big look at Anne up and down to her black heels to her big wavy hair. She exhales loudly,her eyes were glazey she held her hand up to her chest.

Anne looked at me with a small smile,I hated when she did that because for some strange reason I felt something in my stomach that made my whole body hot and sweaty.

"I'm sorry,i shouldn't talk to you about things like that"my mothers face was filled of regret and sadness
"No I don't mind it's nice talking about her as if she was still with us" Anne replied my mother with one of her soft smiles. My gut turns again she never mentioned about her mother passing,she actually never mentioned her mother at all now that I thought about it. I looked back at Anne and her energy changed,she kept avoiding my stair. I felt bad not pity,I knew I had crossed a sensitive line,I knew I shouldn't have heard this conversation topic.

"Alright well it was nice to finally meet you Anne Boleyn say hello to you're father for me please love,you have goodnight" my mother walked back inside after I gave her those eyes of (please go away).
"Yes of course,have a nice night Miss.Descamps"
"Oh please Anne call me Alice"my mother responded. Anne just nodded. And all we heard was the echo of the doorknob closing. It was silent for a while before I heard her quite voice.

"Nobody really knows about that,please don't say anything-
"I won't" I cut Anne off in a cold tone.
"Thank you, I got a bit ahead probably 30%of the project is done so what other days are you available" she asked me
"Any day is fine" I looked at her she looked down at her heels again avoiding my eyes. She kicks a small rock towards the neighbors front gate making a load bang. She jumped at the noise scarring herself. I couldn't hold in the laughter and a small smirk creeped in.

"So I'll probably study for Latin and Mathematics all day tomorrow so Sunday afternoon?" She asked breaking the silence again
"That's okay with me,my place?" I was hoping she would say yes but after what my mom pulled i knew it was a big no.
"Actually my house would be better for me,you can stay for dinner this time" I shock my head in response

She perks her lips together and turned on her heels heading to her door. I watched and waited before I got in. She turned back around to face me,her hair was blowing away from her face and I can tell how long and smooth her neck looked. And how her jawline was sharp just like her cheek bones. Once's again that feeling came back to my stomach it hurt to look so I turned to face the left side of the street acting like I heard something.

"Night Descamps"she yelled and without letting me respond she walked in her house. I stood out in the cold for a second. I looked up at her balcony it was still open and the curtains were flying up aggressively the noise of the curtain rack shaking brought my memory back. We almost kissed up in that room. I remembered how her soft face felt,her hair smelt like strawberries and her vanilla sent made her have this adoring look. Then the movement of a shadow caught my attention and it terrified me I didn't want her to know that I was still out here. I tackled myself inside my house slamming the door behind me. My heart was racing it felt like ice cold water was pouring down on me.

"Everything okay Joey?"my mother yelled from the dining room.
"Uh ya everything's fine"I heard her heels click towards me and before I knew it she was standing in front of me.
"I hope I wasn't interrupting anything darling"she said as she fixed my eye patch that was moved by the sudden rush I was in.
"No umm you weren't"
"Alright well I have to go to bed early today I have a meeting in the towns board about that awful boy that hurt my angel"she looked at me with pity I wanted to roll my eyes
"Dinners ready on the table for you just wash up before you hid to your bedroom" she kissed my right cheek and proceeded to walk up the stairs.
"Goodnight mom" I yelled
"Goodnight angel sleep well"she closed her bedroom door and the house fell quiet all of the sudden.

I sighed and walked to the dinner table,it was soup only soup. Sometimes I preferred the maids cooking instead there meal was actually a meal and not just soup. I cover the plate and shoved it in the cooler. I looked out of the small window that was above the kitchen sink and I caught a glimpse of my reflection and I wanted to vomit. My face was ruined by the stupid Magnan siblings. Rage filled my body,I took the flower vase that was in display beautifully on the counter and smashed it on the ground. My breathing was short,I could feel my nostrils rising in and out.

Thankfully the water was running from up stairs that meant mom was taking a shower which meant,she didn't hear the load bashing of glass.
How could I get a punishment this severe and Jean Pierre gets to graduate top of the class. Not to mention the way he stairs at his sisters friend that just happens to be the new girl that I almost kissed tonight.

"Monsieur Joseph is everything okay?"asked one of the maids
"Yes sorry I knocked the vase over by accident,let me get the broom I know you just finished cleaning"
"It's no problem young man let me do it after all it is my job"the lady chuckles I felt bad because I didn't even know her name.
"Are you sure I'm more than capable of doing it myself madam" she shook her head and took out the broom from the closet and rushed me out of the kitchen.

I grabbed my coat from the hanger and took my keys with me and walked out into the cold air. As I was locking the door I looked up at Anne's bedroom the curtains were closed and the lights were off. I shoved my keys in my coat pocket and walked towards the only open deli in town.

As my eyes were glued to the dark sky I didn't notice I had walked by the Magnans butcheria. I looked around for a big rock to throw at there window when laughter erupted in the alleyway.

"Well cheers for Magnan!" I knew that voice it was Dupins older brother Anthony.
"Why cheers to me" Jean Pierre laughed
"One because you took Descamps eye out and second because you have the sexiest girl wrapped around your finger" another voice from a different boy that I didn't recognize
"I don't know about the last one,even if he has one Descamps still gets all the girls" Anthony sounded drunk already.

"Come on she's not just a girl she's Sebastian's sister there's no way he'll ever let me get away with talking to his sister"a big cloud of smoke appears and I hear Jean Pierre cough.
"Well you better keep up because Descamps has an advantage over you,he's at her house probably drooling over Anne and he's in the same class as her" said the unnamed boy
"At least he has an excuse to hangout with her what's mine?"asked Magnan
"Jean Pierre Magnan doesn't need an excuse to see a girl just go to her house tomorrow and ask her out to brunch or something" I heard a foot scraping the ground like if they were putting out a cigarette.
"Alright I have to go back inside boys" Jean Pierre says his goodbyes and shoot the door.
That was my queue to hide in case they saw me listening. I hid behind the butchers trash cans I regret it after it smelled like rotten meat. I wanted to gag.

"Who do you think would get the girl"asked the boy
"I want to say Jean Pierre but I just know Descamps is going to win her over before Jean Pierre ever asks her out. He's to busy with school and the shop and he sometimes has a stick up his ass" Anthony laughed
"So you're team Descamps seriously?" Said the boy in a annoyed voice
"Magnan has to step it up,Descamps is running him over" Anthony blurred out

Not even his own friends have faith in his ass. Pathetic piece of garbage. I need to come up with a plan that would hurt him bad,not just physical pain I want him to humiliate and destroy his pathetic family also.
