Day off (anyone who wants)

[Sébastien Gautier]

Having taken the day off to he could spend it with his mother and brother before Seb had to return to school, Nick wanted to do something with him, but wasn't quite sure of what yet. Seb was still sleeping so he thought that would give him a bit more time to think. Making his way back done to the kitchen he poored himself a glass of water and began to drink it. Having woken up early that morning, He was already dressed and ready to do something. The house was quite, everyone else was still sleep that he was awhere of.

As he finished reading that mornings paper, he heard someone walk into the kitchen. Looking up he saw Seb. "Allo, es tu dormis bien?" he asked, as he did every morning with a smile. It was obvious to him that Seb was already up to as he cam down dressed.

Seb sat on the chair opposit his brother, "A, oui je pense." he responded looking at his brother. Seb was amazed at how well the two of them got alone, though he never complained about it, he was glad they did. Seb was a bit bored and wanted to do something. After a few minutes of thing about what they could do he thought of something that they used to always to with their dad, and hadn't played in a long time.

"Hey Nick, veux tu aller jouer au ballon-panier dehors?" he asked his brother, knowing he would as they both loved to play basketball. Standing up Seb started to make his way to the door and looked over his shoulder to see his brother right behind him.

Once outside Nick grabbed the basketball and threw it to the net, not getting a basket, but set Seb up good to get one. "A, tu es bon." he told him, then began to play a game. One on one like they always did. Only when their dad was alive, they played two one one against him. As Nick scored a basket, Seb smiled, "Est toi aussi mon frère." he said back, and stoll the ball from him.

Pushing a small hand through her long wind tossed hair, Mélissa found herself staring blankly off into the sky once again. Mélissa had been visiting her brothers in Paris that day, but they had been called back the Ministry for work, thus leaving her up to her own devises. Sighing quietly, Mélissa slowly walked down one of the many roads. She really had no idea where it was she was headed or how on earth she was supposed to get back to the Ministry later to find her older brothers. However that was the last thing one her mind at the moment.

Today, Mélissa was dressed in a pair of light jean Capri's, and a white tank top. Her hair was pulled up loosely into an elastic with pieces falling out to frame her small face. The weather was wonderfully warm and there was only a few fluffy white clouds in the sky. However, everyone knew that here in France, that the weather could change quickly from calm and quiet to a full blow storm.

Taking a right turn down the next street, Mélissa could here the sound of a basketball bouncing in the distance. As she continued to walk, the sound became louder and louder until she reached the drive way where two guys where playing a little one on one. As the youngest turned, she instantly recognized who it was.

"Oui mais, je peut jouer ballon-panier plus bonne que tu deux ensemble," Mélissa teased walking up the drive. "Allo Séb," Mélissa greeted with a warm smile. "Salut Nick," she added with another smile turning to face to older Gautier boy.

Both Seb and Nick were way to into the game, and hadn't notice Mélissa walk up 'till she started to talk. The minute she said something both guys stoped and turned to see who it was. Seb reconized her voice right away, as he turned around he had a smile on his face. Running toward her, Seb was being his regular goofy self. "Mélissa!" he said a bit louder then normal, and he reached her he gave her a big friendly hug.

"Je crois pas que tu peux jouer mieux que moi, ma petite amie." he told her with a smile still holding her in a hug. "Allo Mélissa, long temps pas vue." Nick said as he shot her a smile. Picking up the basketball, he began to dribble it again.

"Et qu'est qui apporte vos ici?" Seb asked her curious to know why she was wondering around the streets alone. Nick kepted on playing with the basketball while he listened to his brother talk to Mélissa. After a while he decided that he would return inside for a bit, and leave them alone, because he didn't know how long they would talk for. "Seb je me rent, si tu me veux je serais dans ma chamber." he told Seb just so he wouldn't freak when he didn't see his brother outside anymore.

"Sébastien!" Mélissa said as Séb ran toward her wrapping his arms around her in a friendly hug. Laughing, Mélissa wrapped her arms around him returning the hug. At his comment, Mélissa couldn't help but laugh again. "Petite!" She said looking up at him. "Qui'est petite?" She asked teasingly.

"Oui c'etait vraiment une loungue temps," Mélissa said agreeing with Nicks statement of it being a long time since they last saw each other. Raising a small hand, Mélissa brushed a piece of stray blond hair out of her golden eyes.

"Mes freres sont la reason que je suis ici," Mélissa said answering Séb's question. "Mais il's devrais travailer comme tojours," she said shrugging her thin shoulders lightly. As Nick said he would be inside if they needed him. "C'etait beaux de ta voir," Mélissa said as Nick went inside. Turning back to face Séb, she smiled. "Et toi," she said her french accent thick. "Comman ca va?" She asked raising a thin eyebrow slightly in question.

Seb gave a little laugh as she returned the hug. To little of her knowing, Seb rather enjoyed it. He had liked her for the longest time, but had never had enough curage to tell her, because of how she would react, and he didn't want to take the chance and ruin their friendship. "Oui, petite." he said back with a smile.

Seb listened to her tell him why she was here. He had forgotten that her brothers didn't live far from him. "Oh, c'est vrais, J'ai oblier qui'ils vivaient proche de moi." he told her, then smiled.

Letting Mélissa go out of the hug, he still didn't back up that far from her. "Moi? ça vas très bien, ma été etait tres bon, mais j'ai pas vue personne souffe Zara O'Riley a la tour Eiffel un soir." He told her in all honesty. "Et toi ma petite?" he said with a playfull smile on. Seb enjoyed teasing her about her hight, though he didn't do it to make her feel bad, or hurt her. Simply just to have fun.

"Je ne suis pas petite," Mélissa said sticking her toung out teasingly at Séb. "Tu es juste enorme," Mélissa said smiling deviously. Feeling Séb let go of her after he said he had forgotten that her brothers lived close to him, Mélissa smiled, once again letting him go as well. She would never admit it in front of anyone, but she'd secretly had a crush on the older boy for the longest time. Listening to what Séb was saying, the small blond didn't say anything. She smiled slightly as he said he'd seen Zara at the Eiffel tower one night, but that was it. As Séb asked how her summer had been, and once again called her small, Mélissa sighed quietly, rolling her hazel eyes.

"J'adore etes petite," Mélissa said smiling deviously once again. "M'été étais decour.... S'étais divisé entre les maison de mes frere et ma maman... J'avais une temps excelent quand j'étais avec mes frere.. mais pas si quand j'avais avec ma maman..." Mélissa trailed off, taking a deep breath. "Quand j'avais arrivé a ma maison en... Juin, ma mere a me dit q'elle a commencé de voir une homme qui s'appelle Mark. J'avis decour avec sa dans le deput, mais quand je l'avais racontré, c'étais terrible, il etait très maichant et je sius peur de lui..." Mélissa trailled of shivering slightly at memory. Looking down at her feet, the blond sighed quietly.

As Mélissa said he was just simply big, he smiled, "Ok si tu veux la metre come ça." he said, he didn't mind it. He liked his hight, he wasn't the tallest, but he wasn't the shortest either. Though he was taller then her. As she told him about her summer, Seb walked over to the basket ball and picked it up again. "Oh bien pour elle, ma mère veut pas voir person, parce qu'est qui a arriver a mon père. Mais, s'est aussi une bonne chose." he told her. "Mais si tu a besoin de moi pour néport quoi, je serais ici pour toi, ma petite." she smiled, though it was true, he would always be there for her if she ever needed him.

Seb shoot the basket ball at the net, and it went it. He looked over at her and smiled, he didn't know what else to say at the moment, so left it open for her to talk.

Mélissa sighed quietly as Séb talked. SHe knew he would always be there - heck he was there when she didn't want him to be. But it still didn't help the fact that her mother was dating a fool, who probably was only there because of their families name and money. "Oui, je sais," Mélissa said quietly in response to what Séb had said. She watched as Séb shoot the basketball at the net, getting it in. She smiled. "Show off," she said in english, though her french accent was thick.

giggling slightly, Mélissa walked over to Séb and took the ball from him. Shooting it up, she made the basket. As the ball bounced beneath the net, Mélissa went to go get it. Standing under the net, she smiled deviously up at Séb. "Si tu volais le ballon, tu dois m'attrapper en premiere," Mélissa said challengingly.

[Sébastien Gautier]

Seb continued to play with the basketball as he listened to what Mélissa had to said. As she called him a show off he turned to her with a surprised semi smile on his face, though he wasn't really that surprised. "Me? a show off?" he said in english, though his french accent was very strong.

As Mélissa took the ball from his hands, Seb had a slight questioning look on his face. He watched her shoot the ball and smiled as she got it in. "Nice shot." she said once again his french accent very thick. Listening to what she was saying next, "attrapper toi en premier tu dit?" he stated, "Ok, si tu veux," he added with a slightly devious smile. Seb started to move slowly toward her knowing that she would probably start moving in the other direction or even start running.
