Adrien's POV
We walked into the restaurant Mari texted me. Waltzing up to the counter Nino and I waited for the attendant to finish with the other customers.
"Hello, what's your reservation under?" She asked in Chinese looking up at us. "OMG your Adrien! And your Nino the bubbler!" She reverted to English. Her eyes lit up under her brow.
"Under Dupain- Cheng." I cleared my throat and pointed to the sheet in front of her.
"Right this way!" She squeaked leading us to a huge round table. "Do you know when the rest of your party will arrive?" She asked kindly.
"Now." Alya's voice called making us all turn. The three girls looked... Stunning! Chloé wore a sleeveless white dress. Just above her collarbone, it changed to lace. A cream handbag hung on her arm. Alya wore a maroon strapless dress that flowed out to a floor length bubble skirt. Mari caught my eyes though. Her dress was simple. It was peach and at the neckline, it was decorated with flowers.
"Bit too dramatic Alya," Mari complained rolling her eyes. Her lashes seemed twice their usual length. She chuckled noticing my stare. "Chloé made us get our hair and makeup done."
"You look beautiful," I whispered. A blush tinted her cheeks.
"Hello miss Marinette Dupain- Cheng right?" The attenedent interrupted us.
"Yeah thats me." Mari smiled kindly like she hadn't just rudely interrupted.
"My mother works for your parents." She told her in Chinese. "He's one of your body guards. It's truly an honor." She went down onto a knee.
"No one supposed to know." Mari whisper- yelled urgently to her.
"Oh, yes princess." She sprung up and brushed herself off. "Just call when your ready to order."
"What was all that?" Alya asked sitting next to Nino.
"Chinese custom." I replied smoothly. Marinette sent me a thankful look as she sat next to me at the head of the table. On my other side Cholé took a seat opposite the empty seat.
"How did you boys spend the day then?" Chloé asked sarcasticly.
"We played mega strike three. And I won!" Nino boasted.
"I heard mega strike four is on prerealse!" Alya geeked making Chloé scoff. She could change alot but still was the same Chloé.
"If you need your butts kicked you have my number." Mari winked slyly.
"We know. Ever since you struck the winning blow in the tournament no one will dare take you on expecting to win." Alya shook her head looking proudly at her bestie.
"Not even your lucky brasklet can make me win." I chuckled.
"How about if she and ladybug versed? Who'd win?" Chloé cut in.
"My bets on Mari!" Alya and Nino told us in sync giggling at their timing.
"Sorry Mari gotta go with Ladybug." I told her grinning.
"Nah she's got nothing on messenger Mari." Chloé snorted. There were looks shot at Mari from every corner of the table.
"You told her?" Nino, Alya and I demanded angrily.
"Damn it Chloé." Mari face palmed.
