Chapter 5 Foster system

Chapter 4

Julian's pov

I felt I had to do something to get Eden to say yes to being in the video. I saw the way her face lit up as she talked about the kids she taught. So, I decided to tell her the kids could join the video. The guys have been giving me a hard time since she left.

This song was a love song and Eden would be playing my love interest so how were kids going to fit into it. I told my manager that was for someone else to figure out, and it better happen. The only reason anyone of them was making money was because of me. know that sounds conceited, but no one wanted to sign my band they only wanted me, but I wouldn't go unless they came with.

I wanted Eden. There was just something about her that drove me crazy. Normally I would never mix business with pleasure, but for her I'll gladly make an exception for her.

I had a whole truck load of mp3 players, hoodies, hats, shirts, among other things loaded up in my truck ready to give the kids. I grew up in the foster system, so I wanted to reach out to these kids and help. I pulled up outside the center and waited for my bodyguard and the rest of the band before we went in. It felt dumb to have a bodyguard with us, but I know it's just for our safety.

I walked to the front desk and said we were here for Eden. The older lady looked me up and down then called for Eden to meet us. I felt like I needed to take a shower after this the way the lady was looking me up and down made me feel cringy.

"Hey, guys my class is right this way."

I nearly fell over. Eden was wearing these tight yoga pants and a muscle shirt that showed her sports bra she looked so damn sexy.

"I have some things in my truck for the kids."

She looked at me and flashed me a smile that made my heart beat a little faster. In that moment I knew I would do anything for her and these kids just to continue to see her face light up and for her to smile at me like that.

"You didn't have to do that but thank you it'll mean a lot to the kids."

She had a guy walk out with me to get all the stuff. I wanted her to come with me so I could have a minute alone with her. I walked into her class and saw kids of all ages. It brought back so many memories from my past. Memories I thought were long buried.

The kids stood in a line to meet us, and we handed them a bag full of stuff. I couldn't help the pain that came in waves. Seeing Eden with the kids and how gentle she was with them made me melt. She was unlike any other woman I've known before. I had to make her mine.
