Fairy of the Garden (A Monster in Paris Fanfic)

Ceiling

Odette's Prov
I stare at the ceiling and the only thing I can think of is him. I don't know why I just do. There's other things I should think about but my mind always wonders back to Francoeur.
His very existence is magnetic, whenever I'm near him I feel overcome with joy.
There's a feeling in my heart but not like any other. Not like for the school boy I had a crush on or for that young gentlemen that courted me two years ago. This feelings different.
It feels like it's going to burst right out of my chest. It hurts but for a peculiar reason, I love it.
I shake my head furiously in aggravation. 'What are you doing?! You can not love him!! He's a Flea!!You're a human!! He's an insect!!' My eyes widen 'he's an animal, I'm an animal. He's a being, I'm a being. He's a living thing and I'm a living thing!'
Oh why does this have to be so complicated. It would be much easier if Francoeur was a human or if I was a Flea.
This is against the law what I'm thinking of! It's against the human code what I'm feeling!
But he must be an exception right? He's not an animal, Francoeur is a civilized, intelligent being that can do whatever we can do or maybe better.
"Odette, cousin Lucille and her friend is......." Channel announces as she comes into my room but stops as she sees me on the bed. She continues " are you alright?" She asks softly.
I'm not sure if I am. I can't tell anyone about this. But there's no harm in asking some advice. Channel might be young but her wisdom is beyond her years.
"Can I ask you something?" I ask. "Of course you can." She says as she makes her way to the bed to sit next to me. Her blue eyes calming.
"Well, what if .......you really liked a..person... But they were a little different from everyone else. Should you still be allowed to like then?"
"Like or love Odette?" She crosses her arms with a hint of a smile on her lips.
"Um...I guess it is love" I confess.
"Then who cares?!" She says, throwing her arms in the air. "If you love someone, then you love them! It doesn't matter if they're different. If you love them for who they are then that's what matters!" She comes closer to me with her full grin and whispers "Now tell me. Is it Monsieur Francoeur?" Oh goodness should I tell her? It seems like she already knows the answer.
"Oh yes it's him, but you better keep it a secret!" I say sternly but she jumps off the bed with excitement. "I knew it!!! I knew you two were made for each other!! Your both perfect!!" She practically shouts. But she suddenly clamped her hand over her mouth. "I almost forgot that Lucille and her big haired friend are waiting for you downstairs." She laughed. "Oh well I guess I should be off then" I hurry off the bed to the door with Channel in tow.
Before we reach the living room she tugged on my sleeve and whispers. "Have a good time falling in love" letting out a fit of giggles as she runs up the stairs again.
" hello Lucille... And Raoul" I say as i walk in and spot them.
"Hey Odette, hows it going?" Raoul said cheerfully. "Are you ready?" Asks Lucille. "Yes I'm good and ready to go" I smile.
We walk out to where Raoul's practically home made delivery truck, that goes by the name of Catherine is parked.
I look at Lucille sceptically. "Oh come on his driving has improved. We'll be fine!" She tries to assure me but I see her nervousness as well.

Francoeurs Prov
I stare at the ceiling and I can only think of her. I wouldn't mind doing it forever. But there's also being with her and that's even better. When I'm with Odette nothing else matters.
In my opinion the humans are an attractive race. Skin, hair and eyes coming in many colors. Everyone is completely different, not two people are completely alike not even twins.
Odette's uniqueness is one that seems to diminish all others.
Not only her beautiful shell but what she is inside. I don't know what it is that makes me feel this way but I don't mind if I takes my whole life for me to find out.
This feeling is more than a feeling. It's a terrible pain inside my chest but at the same time it feels so good. I want to have it forever. I never want it to leave me.
This is all new for me, everything is. I don't quiet know what's happening to me but the Doctor is coming to help. He should be able to tell me something.
Lucille and the others have been discussing that maybe it's this thing they call love but their not sure.
A knocking comes from the other side of my door. Emile's voice comes from the other side " Francoeur the doctors here early, would you come downstairs?" He asks. "Yes I will, just one moment" I reply. I look at the ceiling for a couple more seconds before getting up and heading downstairs.
