Chapter 16 - No more Mr Nice guy
Marinette's POV
Adrien is insane.
That boy didn't let me go for another full day. I was stuck in his apartment for another 24 hours.
His apartment is bigger and cosier than mine though, so I didn't mind too much.
But still.
He took being protective to a whole new level. I wasn't allowed to cook, clean or do any type of work that wasn't related to school.
He was acting like I just came out of surgery.
I only fainted and had a headache and some pain in my arm but that was it. It wasn't anything major.
The following day, I was finally allowed to go back to my apartment.
I sure did miss this place.
As soon as Adrien had gone, I ran straight to my bed and plopped onto my bed. Today was Sunday meaning it was my self care day. I could finally take time to myself and focus on myself.
I went to my wardrobe and decided to pick an outfit for the day. It was a nice and sunny Sunday so I took out a light pink oversized shirt and some black leggings with some white socks.
I decided to leave my hair down for once and let it breathe rather than tying it up.
Once I got myself ready, I went to the bathroom and immediately did my skin care. It had been 2 days since I had properly done my skin care so today I would make it up to myself by putting on a face mask.
After doing my skincare and applying some mascara and lip gloss, I got my pink and white tote bag and packed a hoodie, a thin blanket, my phone, my wallet and keys, my lip gloss, my book, and a water bottle.
I was planning to go to a nearby cafe and get an iced coffee and maybe a croissant or donut if they had any then once I ate my food, I would take my drink and sit on a field and read my book.
It was the perfect way to take time and appreciate life and leave all the stress from school behind.
I left my apartment and started walking to the cafe. I knew for a fact that I needed to get myself a car so that I could go on night time drives.
That's something that has been on my bucket list since forever.
Once I arrived at the cafe, I ordered my drink and got a donut as well before sitting down at a window seat.
I quickly took a picture of my small snack and sent it to the girls.
It was very aesthetically pleasing I must say.
After texting the girls and eating my food, I left the cafe and found a nice area to sit and read my book.
I placed my blanket down on the grass and put my tote bag down before sitting down and beginning to read my book.
As I was reading, a notification popped up on my phone. I ignored it and continued reading but more notifications kept popping up.
Who is it now?
I took my phone out of my bag and looked at the person's name on the screen.
Him.
What the hell does that blue boy want?
I sighed before opening his messages and reading them.
~
Luka: Hello?
Luka: Marinette
Luka: Marinette, are you there?
Luka: Don't ignore me
Luka: Hello, I need to speak to you
Luka: I hope your not ignoring me
Luka: Marinette.
Luka: Marinette answer me!
~
Give me a break.
That boy is busy messaging me like I want to talk to him. He is the last person I would want to talk to right now. He can do me a massive favour and just leave me alone.
I left Luka on read and went back to reading my book. Unfortunately for me, he continued spamming my phone.
~
Luka: Hey
Luka: Don't leave me on read
Luka: Answer me
Luka: Hello
Luka: You better not leave me on delivered too
Luka: Marinette talk to me
Luka: Hello
~
I left him on delivered this time and put my phone on do not disturb.
You should've done that ages ago
I know.
After spending 30 minutes reading, I decided to head back to my apartment.
As I was peacefully watching Youtube on my Tv, there was a knock on the door. Thinking that it was Adrien, I went to open the door only to find Luka standing there.
"Marinette can we talk-"
I slammed the door in his face and was began to walk away when I saw he had slid a paper under the door.
Really?
I picked it up and scanned it.
'We need to talk'
I opened the door and scrunched the paper up and threw it at Luka's face. I tried to close the door again but Luka held the door still causing me to glare at him.
"Look Marinette, I know you're mad at me but can we please talk about this. I promise I will leave you alone afterwards." Luka pleaded.
Go and see what he has to say.
But I don't want to speak to him
Just go.
Okay fine. But if this is a trap then I'm going to have more problems with that boy.
"Fine. 5 minutes and that's it." I rolled my eyes. I shut the door and got the tote bag I used earlier and placed my phone in it again before reopening the door.
Luka put his hand out signalling for me to take it. I looked at him with a disgusted expression and walked past him.
Is he trying to act like a gentleman now? Where was this behaviour when he was cheating on you?
He watched me walk away from him then ran up to catch up with me. Once we got out of the apartments, Luka took me on a walk into the forest.
I had a feeling that we were being watched. But it didn't bother me. The only thing that was running through my mind was to get the hell away from Luka.
"It's a nice day today, isn't it?" Luka said, trying to lighten the mood.
Not the small talk.
"I don't have time for this, are you gonna say what you need to say or not because I have places to be." I scoffed.
"Marinette don't you miss what we used to be?"
HA! No.
"Why would I miss that?" I frowned.
"All the memories we made together"
They are dead now, big boy.
"That's in the past and it will stay in the past. We're in the present now. All the memories we had have been erased from my mind." I rolled my eyes.
"I wish we had something between us."
Why is he still going on? Can he not take a hint?
"Me too." I smiled innocently.
"Really?"
"Yes, a wall" I smirked as I started walking away.
"Why are you acting like this?" Luka frowned.
"Like what?"
"Your acting like stupid Agreste." Luka scoffed.
"Awww am I?" I stopped walking and smiled innocently at him, "So what?" I smirked as I continued walking away.
Luka grabbed my arm and pulled me back. "Hey!" I snapped.
Not the arm pulling thing again.
"Marinette this isn't you"
"Well now it is, guess you've missed out on a lot of things since you decided to cheat on me." I scoffed.
"Don't be like this"
"Too late." I smirked. "I never asked you to cheat on me did I?" I smiled innocently.
I tried to turn around and walk away once more but Luka stopped me again.
He needs to back up.
I slapped him hard on his face and smiled, "Don't mess with me. Because of you, Mr nice guy is gone."
I fixed my hair and clothes then proudly walked away from the boy and back to the apartments.
Such a waste of time.
Third person POV
The feeling that Marinette had was true. There was indeed a blonde boy watching the two's little encounter. He was very entertained by Marinette's responses and her actions.
Adrien appeared from his hiding place laughing at Luka who now had a big red mark on his face.
"Damn, you look a little beat up," Adrien chuckled. Luka looked up at him while holding the area that Marinette slapped him. "Revenge is sweet especially when it comes for you." Adrien walked away and ran over to Marinette to congratulate her for beating his enemy up leaving an angry Luka behind.
Luka's POV
I don't know what just happened but I will be back.
Marinette, I'm coming for you.
You won't get away with this.
