A/N: UPDATE: I had to republish this chapter because there was a whole chunk missing and I didnt realise so I added it between star symbols: *** sorry about that!

Hello, just a side note. It's okay to translate my stories. I'd love for people of all languages to enjoy my stories.
All you have to do is ask and let me know so I can add your translation to the bio of the story so that readers in that native language know where to go and other avid readers know that you have permission to translate the story.
   It very rare that I say no.

The official Spanish translation is by wattpad user OretniRiascos
All other languages ( except English of course) is open to translation.
Just let me know.

Thanks!

Fifteen missed calls.

It had only been two days. 

Two days since Adrien had witnessed probably the most distressing thing aside from learning his mother had disappeared.

It didn't surprise Adrien that Kagami started with the spam calls only two days after the incident. 

She was like that. She had always been like that and it wasn't until now that Adrien realised how controlling and pushy she was.

It almost made him irate.

His heart sank into his stomach the moment his phone began to buzz in his hand.

As if Kagami had the best timing. 

Adrien quickly locked his phone, ignoring the call before he set his phone on top of the piano.

There was an awkward silence in the air. Nothing could be heard except for the sounds of the rain pattering against the room as it only grew more and more forceful. The sound of thunder began to rumble throughout the sky, and the moon casted an eerie glow in the room.

Marinette stood awkwardly by the kitchen, glancing down like a child who was about to be reprimanded.
She wanted to turn on a light, or perhaps rush out of the room to a different location so she could change and hide under the blankets.

She squeezed her eyes shut, flinching as lightening flashed throughout the dark area and Marinette couldn't help but to wonder if Luka was alright.

She couldn't get the image of him standing in the rain out of her head. It was a habit of worrying that she couldn't shake. She had never seen Luka in a state of vulnerability.

"Is there something between you and Luka still? I know you two have been on dates before. I just don't want to feel like I'm intruding on something I have no place in." Adrien murmured once the room grew silent.

Marinette blushed deeply, gulping as she hadn't realised just how compromising it looked to see her in his embrace once more.

The young woman couldn't have Adrien believe she was that type of person, they had an intimate interaction the night prior, she wasn't going to take his feelings lightly the way Kagami did. 

"N-no!" Marinette breathed, her heart aching in her chest as she could hear the buzzing from Adrien's phone, clambering against the surface of the piano.
"There's nothing between me and Luka." She stuffed her hands into the pocket of her damp sweater, keeping her eyes down at her boots. 
"I just- I gave him the chance to talk." Marinette pressed her lips together, suddenly growing warm as she could feel Adrien's eyes on her.
