Alone

Chapter 11

"And you will! I just... I just don't know when," Adrien looks at Emma with sad eyes.

Emma sighs, "Why doesn't she love me?"

Adrien shrugged, "I don't know princess, and I think it's better youo don't know either."

Emma nodded, "Your right, maybe not having a mom is good?"

"I want to say yes but..." Adrien trails off.

"Grandma isn't here which means you don't have a mom either, I know," Emma says looking up at Adrien.

"Yeah, but I know you will meet her one day, but maybe just not now," Adrien explains.

"Yeah, I know," Emma looks out the window. "I think Clarissa came for me."

Adrien tilted his head in confusion, "I thought I was taking you."

Emma smiles nervously and scratches the back of her neck, "I forgot she was going to pick me up today."

Adrien nodded, "Okay, it's fine. I'll see you after school along with Clarissa, right?"

"Right! Today we do homework together, bye dad," Emma kisses her father's cheek and runs out the front door.

Adrien watches his daughter leave, "Bye."

-

A door bell could be heard. Adrien left his room and went to the front door to open it, "I wonder who it is, after all father said I might not like this meeting." HE shrugs as he opens the door, "Hello." His eyes widen at the person infront of him, "Marinette."

Marinette looked up at Adrien, "Hey Agreste."

Adrien moves aside to let her in, "Come in."

Once she walked in Adrien closed the door. Adrien motiened for the girl to follow so she did. They went to the table and sat down across from each other.

"Why do you want me to be your model, Marinette?" Adrien asked.

Marinette sighs and looks at Adrien with pleading eyes, "Your still the greatest model Adrien. I need this, please."

Adrien chuckles, "You need it, after I needed you but you didn't care!"

Marinette looks down, "Yes, and I'm sorry, okay?"

Adrien scoffs, "Your sorry? Sorry doesn't solve anything Marinette!"

"Sorry doesn't solve what dad?" Emma asked as she came to where the two adults were at.

Clarissa waved at Adrien with a smile, "Hi Mr. Agreste."

Adrien calms down and looks over at the two young girls, "Hi Clarissa. Don't worry about it princess, go do homework or play."

"Okay? Let's go," Emma took Clarissa's hand in hers and ran up to her room.

Marinette looks at Adrien with a small, sad smile, "She grew up fast."

Adrien nods and sighs, "How are you and Nathaniel?"

Marinette nodded, "Were good, do you have anyone?"

Adrien shook his head as he stood, "No, I'm still single, now about being your model, I accept."

Marinette quickly stood as well, "Really!?"

Adrien gave a slight nod, "Yes."

Marinette makes her away around the table and hugs him, "Thank you so much!"

Adrien looks down at her without hugging back, "Um... No problem."

Marinette quickly pulls away and mumbles, "Sorry."

Adrien shrugged, "It's fine, maybe we can... Be friend agian?"
