"Adrien!!" Emelie walked into his room to find the kid staring out the window with a miserable face.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing...why are you here."
"So since-...your father and I...you know...who would you like to...live with?"
After a painful stutter, Adrien looked up at his mother with tears about to fall out of his eyes.
"You, I guess." He turned back to look out of the window, and now the tear that was hanging on by a thread finally fell.
"Alright, then pack your bags."
"We-we're moving out?"
This sentence stopped Emelie from leaving, she turned to face Adrien, and while keeping that deadly eye contact she nodded.
The next couple of tears falling from his eyes were unstoppable and the door slamming didn't help much either.
*meanwhile with Gabriel and Nathalie*
"Well I'm sorry, but we can't change the past!"
"I know but-"
Nathalie's next words were cut off by Emelie stepping into the living room, walking right into one of Gabriel and Nathalie's arguments.
"S-sorry to bother, but we'll be leaving tomorrow." Emelie apologized.
"Alright."
"Is Adrien alright?" Nathalie's question made both parents look at each other. She was caring more about this kid than the kid's actual parents.
"He wasn't exactly happy-" Emelie began explaining, but mid-sentence Nathalie just left to walk up the stairs into his room and find Adrien crying.
"Adrien? I'm sorry. Look I know you hate me and-"
"Nathalie-...just please hug me."
Without a second of hesitation she leaned to hug the kid, and Adrien finally felt loved for the fiery time in years.
Adrien's quiet sobs alarmed Nathalie, so with her index finger she life up his chin to see the kid's face all red and puffy from the crying.
Adrien turned his face away and just buried his head in her blazer.
*meanwhile with Emelie and Gabriel*
"Did she just-"
"She's a much parent than the both of us combined." Emelie admitted.
"We obviously weren't meant to have a kid..."
"Obviously..." Emelie walked out of the office so she could observe what was going on with Adrien.
She walked in to see Adrien sobbing on the floor whilst Nathalie held the kid in her arms,
stroking his hair as she tried her best to stop his tears from falling.
Once Nathalie was aware of Emelie's presence, she slowly stood up leaving Adrien still on the floor, and after she broke their eye contact Nathalie walked out of the room to leave Emelie and Adrien completely alone.
"Nathalie wait!" Emelie shouted after her.
The matter seemed serious once she shut Adrien's door so he wouldn't see or hear anything.
"Y-yes? Anything you need?"
"No, but I would need you to know I'm not mad at you."
Nathalie wasn't used to this, all she got these past couple of years was people yelling at her to do her work or how she was absolutely worthless, and the last person she would've thought would say something nice to her was Emelie. She'd taken her husband from her and also broke apart the family, so naturally she assumed she had no right to deserve any form of kindness.
"I really mean it! There's nothing wrong with you and Gabriel being together...so please don't feel bad."
"But-"
Emelie could hear the breaking in her voice and when she lifted her chin up a bunch of tears streamed down Nathalie's face. Quickly she opened her arms and Nathalie immediately hugged her.
"I've missed you!"
"Me to Nathalie, me too." Emelie laid a kiss on the top of her head.
Without anyone knowing Gabriel was secretly admiring them, he has been hiding behind the office door for quite some time as he watched what was happening at the top of the stairs. He always suspected Nathalie and Emelie had some connection, but he couldn't figure out how or when it happened.
"And now I'll miss you even more." Nathalie held Emelie's white blazer tightly in her hand, not allowing her to move anywhere.
"I wish you and Gabriel the best." She carefully put her index finger under her chin and Nathalie automatically looked up. Now she saw these pair of toxic green eyes she haven't seen in a long time, and she really didn't feel like ever letting go of her white blazer, but once she felt Emelie's hands twist around hers and try to slide her grip off of her clothes, Nathalie let go.
Whilst Emelie made her way back to her room Nathalie made her way down to the office.
She quietly sat down at her desk and looked up at the dozens of emails coming from all different businesses. With a annoyed sigh she began her typing, and got lost in the unhealthy amount of work she was given.
Gabriel of course noticed her presence and although he really wanted to stop her from working he couldn't, because an important day was coming up, soon it would be a major party thrown to honor Audrey's 20th year anniversary of starting her fashion business. There was no way he was going to miss this event, and he knew exactly who fo take with him.
"Nathalie!"
"Yes sir?"
"Would you like to accompany me to Audrey's party? And did you just 'sir' me? Aren't we past that my dear?" By now he was sitting on her desk and her face getting held in his palm so he was her main attention.
"I would love to go...Gabe. Or what am I even supposed to call you?"
"I don't know. Make up a cute nickname."
"Was 'sir' too professional for you?" She teased.
"Ohohoh alright Ma'am." He turned around but instead of Nathalie giving him a smirk it was a rather sad expression.
"Did I do something wrong?" He hurried to walk around the desk and kneel down next to her.
"No,no, isn't just-"
"Just?"
"Stupid memories! It doesn't matter."
Before he got the chance to comfort her Nathalie turned her face back to the screen and he didn't even get to the hug her.
"Nathalie-"
"Not now! I've got too much work." She harshly replied which only made the situation for Gabriel worse.
Was he not good enough or was Nathalie just not in the right mood? What did he do to upset her so bad? If he would have know what he did wrong he would've immediately tried to fix it but he didn't know where he went wrong.
*at night*
Every single night both Nathalie and Gabriel fell asleep on the sofa in each other's arms, but this night was different. Once Nathalie was finished with her work, she logged off the computer and since she was the last one to leave the office she closed the door and locked it for extra safety. After Gabriel heard the key twist in the keyhole he was excitedly waiting for Nathalie to sit beside him, he even prepared her favorite blanket and pillows so everything would be comfortable for her, but once she stepped in front of him he knew something wasn't right.
"I've got your blanket and some pillows, oh and of course chocol-"
"Gabriel!"
"Yes? It's dark chocolate, your favorite."
"This is all very sweet but...but tonight I feel like being alone."
"Nathalie please what did I do wrong? I swear I didn't mean to-...I just didn't know." He took ahold of her hand and pulled her closer to him so she wouldn't go so easily.
"You didn't-"
"But I know I did!!"
"Please Gabriel, just this one night. Afterwards I promise to be with you." Her hand smoothly slid out of his and she was gone before he even knew it.
Nathalie searched her whole closet just so she could find that one white shirt which was covered in drool, but she never bothered to clean in since it brought back good memories and feelings she hasn't felt in quite some time now.
After she got comfortable in her bed, she snuggled her head in the shirt and fell asleep to the smell of sweetness it had.
"Ma'am?" Nathalie asked as she came to the corner of the room and there was no where to go.
"Mhm? Something wrong Nathalie?" Oh the way she said her name sure did do some things.
"No, nothing."
"Good, because I thought-"
"Don't think. Just kiss me already."
"Wait!! That's not even what I said!" Nathalie jumped out of her bed after escaping from her dream.
"That's not what I-...said..." she sighed as she laid back on the bed and pulled the sheets over herself. After a couple minutes of staring at the wall and debating weather she should or shouldn't go to Emelie's room, she finally decided she will go and say the thing she didn't say to her. (only in her dream)
