Heartless pt.2

Rained in

Audre saw Nathalie at the speakers and growled under her breath, her father looked up and arched an eyebrow, not sure what was happening until Audre came over to her and pointed her finger right in the middle of Nathalie's forehead.

N- Hello Mrs.Bourgeois.

AU- What are you doing here?! I told you all to stay away from me, and I had to wait longer than intended for my dress. You weren't at the mansion so you leave it in a bag, on your porch!! How the hell do you think that is acceptable?! How dare you not bring it to me! Don't expect me to have you work any longer, you will be fired, isn't that right Gabriel.

He'd climbed down from the ladder.

G- No, it isn't.

AU- I beg your pardon?

G- No one invades my privacy, calls the love of my life a slut, and demands her to do something you should be able to do yourself. So until things have been set straight, I suggest you get your sorry ass out of here before I do something about it!

He moved closer to her and was towering over her, Andre apologized and got Audre to leave, Nathalie hugged Gabriel.

N- Thank you.

G- Of course.

M- No wonder Chloe's so horrible.

A- And she hadn't even lived with her mother until she was 13.

MA- I thought people in New York were awful.

G- Well, then it makes sense mother. Because she is from New York.

MS- My love, that's horrible, I'm sorry.

N- Don't worry, I spoke to the mayor while Gabriel was yelling at Audre. He's going to try to reason with her, and she's not allowed in the Louvre until after the wedding, starting tonight.

G- Well, let's not waist time then, we have to get back to the house before 9 at least.

They continued to set up, and around 8, Marinette got hungry.

M- Could we get something to eat?

G- I'll finish hanging up the banner and we can all eat out.

Nathalie passed him the last few screws and then he climbed down from the ladder and cleaned up, so that they could continue for tomorrow. They went to leave, but they found the gorilla with the hood open and it under the overhang. He grunted.

G- Could you have a look at it?

Mr.S- Yes, I'm a mechanic, I have tools in the backseat.

He got out the tools and dug through the car, the engine had flooded and the oil leaked, there was no way he could fix it with what he had.

M- So what do we do now?

Mr.S- Either we can walk home or...

A- Or...

Mr.S- We stay here for the night.

M- What?! There's no way I can go another hour without food!

G- Nonsense, we can stay here for the night, remember, there are beds upstairs, this used to be a palace. And there's a cafeteria.

N- We don't have the key, and it would all be locked by now.

G- No, André gave me they Keys.

They all went inside, the gorilla grunted and slept in the limo, then they locked the doors to the Louvre and unlocked the door to the kitchen, there weren't many things there, so they had to survive on popcorn and corn dogs. Swallowed down with minuscule plastic water bottles filled only halfway with water, the cheap mayor had done it again.

G- Okay, there are about 3 rooms, so someone will have to share a room.

The parents- We can.

They laughed and got the biggest room with 2 beds, and then Marinette, Adrien, Habriel and Nathalie chose their rooms, which were on either side of the biggest. They had nothing else to wear, so they fell asleep in their clothes, they discovered the rooms were sound proof, when only   Gabriel and Nathalie woke up to the horrid screeching of her phone being called and called and called.

N- I'm just going to put the damn thing on silent.

G- Good idea.

N- It's Audre, uh what the hell does she want now!?

G- Don't worry about it, Nath, we can worry about it tomorrow.

He put his arm around her, welcoming her into his chest. And she snuggled with him until she fell asleep, her phone continued to vibrate, but she was so deeply asleep they didn't hear anything.

A- I can't believe she'd have the nerve to say that!

M- Don't worry about it chaton, it won't be a problem.

A- How though? There's no way she could have actually thought father would fire Nathalie.

M- Yeah she's ridiculous, utterly ridiculous.

A- You always know how to lighten up the mood.

M- It's what I do best, now let's get some sleep, shall we kitty?

A- My thoughts exactly M'lady.
