Love Is...

🖤Part 7🤍

*The next day, with Adrien practicing his piano*
Nathalie: *walks in* Adrien, your father will be gone for a few hours. No visitors.
Adrien: *sighs* ok...
Nathalie: Your bodyguard is here to keep an eye on you. *Leaves*
Plagg: *Eating his camembert on Adrien's bed* Well, there goes your plan to see if Marinette likes you.
Adrien: Oh, no, the plan is still going. *his phone vibrates, indicating , he grabs his phone and looks at the message* Marinette's outside.
*Outside*
Marinette: *Leans against the wall, waiting*
*The gate opens and Adrien comes out*
Adrien: After you...
Marinette: *Smiles and walks through*
*Inside*
Adrien: *Sneakily opens the door, looks for Gorilla* Ok... it's safe. *Grabs Marinette's hand, shuts the door and quickly sneak up the stairs*
*Distance talking could be heard*
Marinette: Was that Gorilla?
Adrien: No... it sounded like my dad. I thought they left. Hide behind the railing, I wanna hear what's going on.
*They hide behind the stair railing as Gabriel and Nathalie come out of the office*
Nathalie: *Holding her tablet* Are you sure you want me to do this?
Gabriel: *Turns around and looks at her* Yes, you're the only one I can trust. I'll only be a few hours.
Nathalie: Ok, sir.
Marinette: *Accidentally slips a little* ah...
Adrien: *Covers her mouth quickly*
Gabriel & Nathalie: *Jump a little*
Gabriel: What was that?! Is there someone in my house?!
Marinette: *Looks at Adrien, a little nervous*
Gabriel: *Walks towards the stairs*
Adrien: *Takes a deep breath*
Nathalie: *Her phone rings and she answers it* Yes?... yes he's on his way... *Hangs up* Sir, you're late for the meeting...
Gabriel: *Turns back to Nathalie, groans* Fine. Keep an eye on Adrien. *Leaves*
Nathalie: Will do, Sir. *Closes the door, sighs then goes back into Gabriel's office*
Adrien: *Sighs of relief then removes his hand from Marinette's mouth* That was close.
Marinette: I'm starting to think this isn't a very good idea. What if Nathalie catches us?
Adrien: She won't, trust me. Come on. *Holds her hand and they go into Adrien's room*

*With Lila, walking down the street*
Alya: *Walks around the corner on her phone*
Lila: *Sees her, shouts* Oh, hey Alya!
Alya: *Looks up and smiles* Hey, Lila! What's up?
Lila: Nothing much. I was actually on my way to see Adrien.
Alya: Oh, really? I hope you don't mind having Marinette there because she's over there rehearsing with him.
Lila: *Eyes widen* Really? How interesting... I'm just gonna go... see ya at school tomorrow! *Runs off*
Alya: Um... bye...

*In Adrien's room*
Adrien: *Playing the piano*
Marinette: *Sat next to him, smiling as he plays*
Adrien: I know we should be rehearsing but I just wanted to spend some time with you.
Marinette: *Blushes* You're really talented, Adrien. I wish I could play the piano.
Adrien: Do.. do you want me to teach you?
Marinette: *Looking into his eyes* y..yes...

*With Nathalie in Gabriel's office, the buzzer rings and Nathalie checks the camera*
Lila: *Standing there, waving*
Nathalie: *Speaks through the microphone* I'm sorry, Lila, but Gabriel isn't here right now, can I take a message?
Lila: Actually, I came to see you. It's urgent!
Nathalie: Gorilla will let you in. *Turns off the camera and opens the gate*
Lila: *Smirks, walks through*
Gorilla: *Opens the door*
Lila: Why, thank you. *Walks in*
Nathalie: *Standing there* Please, come through to Gabriel's office.
Lila: *Evily smiles* Don't mind if I do. *Looks up the stairs before she walks into the office*

*Back with Marinette badly attempting to play piano*
Marinette: *Groans* I can't do this!
Adrien: Don't give up, babe... I MEAN... Marinette!
Marinette: You make it look so easy!
Adrien: *Laughs* Here, let me show you.
*He grabs her hands and guides them to the keys, he presses her fingers down and plays the piano*
Marinette: *Blushing* hey... I know this song...
Adrien: Yeah... um... you sang it yesterday and I had to learn it.
Marinette: *Smiles at him then looks at their hands touching playing the piano* And I know we weren't perfect but I've never felt this way for no one...
Adrien: *Looks at her whilst she sings*
Marinette: And I just can't imagine how you could be so okay now that I'm gone...
Adrien: *Blushes*
Marinette: I guess you didn't mean what you wrote in that song about me... *Looks at Adrien* Cause you said forever now I drive alone past your street...
Adrien: *Looks into her eyes*
Marinette: *Looks back*
Adrien: *Leans in and kisses her*
Marinette: *Kisses back*
Adrien: *Pulls away after a couple of seconds*
Marinette: *Blushing really hard, puts her hand on his cheek and she kisses him again*
Adrien: *Kisses her back*
*Nathalie and Lila walk in*
Nathalie: *Walks in, gasps* You were right!
Marinette & Adrien: *Pull away and quickly turn around*
Nathalie: Adrien, I said no guests!
Marinette: *Glares at Lila*
Lila: *Whispers, looking at Marinette* Told ya...
Marinette: *Teary eyed* I knew this was a bad idea, I'm sorry, Adrien. *Quickly stands up and leaves*
Adrien: Marinette, wait! *Looks at Nathalie* Why are you like this?!
Nathalie: I'm only following your father's rules.
Adrien: *Looks at Lila* And you Lila can stop hurting Marinette!
Lila: Me?! Hurt Marinette?! I would never-
Adrien: Stop lieing, Lila!
Nathalie: Adrien, please calm down...
Adrien: NO! I wanted to have Marinette here and you two ruined it!
Nathalie: Adrien...
Adrien: *To Nathalie* Whatever... *Leaves*
Nathalie: Adrien, your father will be furious when he finds out...
Adrien: *Walking down the stairs* I couldn't give a shit what my father thinks because he never lets me do anything! I want my old father back, not the boring old fart he is now! I'm leaving and I'm never coming back! *Slams the front door*
Nathalie: *Sighs*
