Where did you go?

7~ Anniversary

The next morning I wake up with my hair all over the place, of course. The day I have to look extra pretty is the day that I wake up looking like absolute crap. Today is my 5 month anniversary with Luka. I go on the trip with my class tomorrow, so this will be my last time seeing him for the week. It's kind of crazy. It's been 5 months since my life changed but since Adrien's back, I'm stuck at square one again. I will never forgive the universe for not letting me at least have a year of peace.

My date with Luka is after school, so that means I'm going to have to leave right after school ends so that I can change. I'm excited but also nervous for some reason. I've never felt like this, but I have a feeling that something is going to go wrong.

Maybe it's just a stupid feeling.

Whatever.

I get up and start my day like usual; get ready, eat a quick breakfast, and head to school on my bike. I'm a little early, so I wait for Alya outside of the door. A couple of minutes later, she shows up. I run up to her and hug her.

"Alya!", I say.

"Girl? Is something wrong? You're here early", she jokes.

I make a face and she starts giggling.

"Just kidding", she says.

I laugh and roll my eyes, and we walk inside the building.

"How are you feeling about yesterday?", she asks.

Oh, s**t. How did I completely forget about that? I slapped Lila right in the face! Ha! What that b*tch deserves. Okay, maybe that's mean, but she's the only person in this world that I dislike. I'm friends with everyone else. But I gotta admit, I am extremely nervous. That fight came at the wrong time, with the trip and all. What if she snitches and it affects my opportunity to go with all of my friends?

If that happens I will genuinely throw myself down a flight of stairs.

"I'm feeling okay now. I let it all out last night", I reply.

I literally cried a bucket of tears last night, it was calming. At least it helped me sleep well.

"That's good girl! Well, enough of that. How are you feeling about today? Excited for your date?", she asks.

I giggle and nod my head, my face growing hot as soon as she mentions it.

"Yes, very. I still have no idea where he's taking me", I say.

"Hmm.. maybe to his bedroom?", Alya sneers.

My eyes widen at this and I smack her on her arm.

"Alya! You did not!"

"What? It's a possibility!"

"Girl, I hate you sometimes"

"You know you love me, Marinette", she says. We both laugh as the bell rings, and we head to class.

While doing our work in science class, I was thinking about what Alya said. What if Luka does attempt to take me to his bedroom? I know that no matter what, he would respect my decision on what I want to do, but I don't think I'm ready for that. Not yet at least. I still have tons to figure out before I even get close to that stage of a relationship with someone. I'm in no rush.

The day passes by fairly quickly and before I know it, it's almost time for my date with Luka. As soon as school ends, I say goodbye to everyone, and head home on my bike to get ready. Surprisingly, I managed to keep a clear path away from Lila and Adrien today. Even though they were stuck to each other like magnets, which is disgusting, but whatever.

You're just jealous because it isn't you in her place.

Shut up, thanks.

I get home and go up to my room. I change out of my regular outfit to a really pretty floral dress. It's white with grey, black, and light pink flowers. I change the two bands in my hair to match the colors of my dress. Finally, I put on some shimmery lip-gloss that Alya got me, and I'm ready!

I look so good. Anyone would be so lucky to have me.

"You look so pretty Marinette!", Tikki says.

I giggle and give Tikki a little hug.

"Thank you, Tikki! I'm excited!", I reply. "No akumas have been let out so far?"

"Nope", she says. "Just like the last couple of months, nothing. Have you heard from Cat Noir yet?"

"No, not yet. I haven't transformed in a week, maybe I'll transform when I get back and attempt to call him again."

I miss Cat Noir so much. My kitty. I wish he at least responded to my messages to let me know if he's okay. It's scary sometimes, especially being a superhero. I have no idea if Cat Noir is even alive, or if he even has his miraculous. Whatever, enough with the sad talk.

I grab my bag and open it up for Tikki to fly back inside. Once she's safe and secure, I head out again and Luka is already outside of the bakery, waiting for me. He looks great, he's wearing a leather jacket with jeans, a jagged stone shirt being on the inside of the jacket.

We are a hot couple, I'll admit.

"Mari!", he says enthusiastically, as he hops off of his bike to come to hug and kiss me.

I giggle and kiss him back. He smells so good.

"Hey! Ready to go?", I ask.

"Always ready for you", he says.

He gets on his bike and helps me get on behind him. He grabs an extra helmet and plops it on my head gently. After getting everything secure, we take off. I still have no idea where he's taking me. After minutes of having a conversation and biking around Paris, we finally stop at Le Grand Paris, the mayor's hotel. We then get off of the bike and he parks it.

"I made us a reservation at their restaurant. I heard they serve the best food in Paris", Luka says.

I smile and grab a hold of his hand, and intertwine it with mine.

"You're the best Luka. Anywhere with you is the best in my book", I reply.

We walk in and head upstairs in the elevator, sneaking in a couple of kisses here and there. Once we reach the hotel's restaurant, we check in with the hostess and get seated in a lovely corner, next to a giant window, allowing us to see Paris and its beauty.

The rest of our date goes amazing, and I have the best time ever.
