CHAPTER 11

Marinette's Perspective:

"Your right Tikki, I'll just go take a shower now," I said while heading to the bathroom.

As I began to take a shower the thought of Luka came to mind. His deliciously hot body, slicked with sweat. His well defined abs that showed his athleticism, if only I could give it a touch, a poke. When he thumbed his hands on his guitar. I wish he would touch me like that, hold me like that. His wavy blue hair beckoning me to touch it, to run my hands through it. And then I thought of what there would be a little lower in his body. But I thought about Adrien, again.

I got out of the shower and Alya called me.

"Hey girl! How was the time with Mr. Agreste?" she said, sarcastically.

"Yeah, about that."

"What happened?!" Alya asked.

"Well everything was going fine, until I brought him to the front of his house. Where we found.... Gabriel." I said.

"What did he do??" she asked.

"Well.. He just said a few things to me. But, it was just plain cruel and mean. I'm I just overthinking it?" I asked, fidgeting.

"Ok, I'm going to talk to him right now!" she said.

"Are you crazy?? You can't just go and talk to Gabriel Agreste like that," I yelled.

"Fine, but what did he say?" Alya asked.

"Well, he said that Adrien shouldn't be hanging out with me and that I was basically a nobody," I said the last part quietly.

"UGH! I can't believe this!" Alya shouted.

"Yeah.. umm. But then I ran into Luka, again, but I cried into his arms. And, he--" I paused.

"What did he do?" she pressed.

"Well, umm.. He kissed me," I said, recollecting yesterday's scenario.

There was an awkward silence in the call.

"YOU DID WHAT?!" she screamed.

I could feel that she was smiling.

"Hey! He was the one who did it," I said.

"Yeah, but you still kissed him!" she said.

"ALYA!"

"So, um.. Now, you kissed Luka, but you still have a crush on Adrien?" she questioned.

I sighed.

"Listen everything happens for a reason. So, we'll see what happens," I said, a smile spreading on my face.

Tikki smiled at me proudly and sat on my shoulder.

"I like how you're thinking now, either way I'm happy you're finally considering Luka!" Alya said.

"Ha, thanks," I said sarcastically.

"STOP RUNNING!" Alya screamed through the phone.

I laughed because I knew she was talking to her sisters.

"Girl, I have to go, but I'll call you later!" Alya said.

"Ok! Byeee!" I said, then hung up.

I'm very lucky to have friends like Alya.

I lied in bed before my parents called me for dinner.

I rushed downstairs and was ready to eat, as I sat down my dad brought some homemade pizza and it smelled so good!

"Enjoy sweetie!" my mom said while taking a bite of pizza.

"Thanks mom," I said while stuffing the pizza in my mouth.

"So- do you want to help us this weekend to make some pastries?" my dad asked.

"Uh! Sure! I'll see what I can do" I said cleaning my hands on my napkin

My parents headed off to bed while I cleaned the kitchen. I put some music on, and I listened to my favourite song. It was the song that I danced to in Chloe's party with Adrien. It brought good memories, but it made me remember about what happened tonight. I finished cleaning and bobbed onto the beat of the song. I had so much fun and I was having fun while Tikki was laughing next to me.

"Need a partner?" The mysterious voice asked.

Tikki hid behind me and I turned around.

"Chat?!" I asked, confused.

"Hello princess," he greeted.

"What are you doing here?" I questioned.

"Well you know, just visiting," Cat Noir said while he took a seat on the table.

"Do you want something?"

"Actually yeah," He winked at me.

"CHAT!" I yelled.

"Marinette! Are you ok?" My mom asked all the way from her room.

"Uh-yes!" I replied.

Cat Noir went behind me and took my waist. He gave me only a second to process what was happening before he jumped out the window with me by his side.

"CAT NOIR!!!" I yelled both in anger and exhilaration.

"Yes?" he asked with amusement.

"Get me down!" I shouted.

"Sure," he said and he simply let go of my waist. I started to fall down with terrifying speed.

I was screaming at the top of my lungs and cursing Cat Noir. I couldn't even transform because that would have sabotaged my identity.

Author's Note: Sorry for the short chapters! But life has been weighing down heavily on us. 

Song Choice: I felt that it fit well with the vibe (maybe not toward the end though).
