A Watching Feeling

Page 13

"Wait, what?" I ask as Felix nods to acknowledge Officer Roger before he leads the other policemen out. Felix turns back to face us.

"I only joined up temporarily to try and find my cousin. Wouldn't you know it? He went missing around the same time you got amnesia." Felix says sternly, looking at Adrien with his arms crossed. Adrien has the grace to look ashamed.

"M'lady lost her memory. It felt like I had no direction." Adrien admits, looking at me. My heart aches at how he must have felt when I forgot all about him. The day I got my Miraculous was the same day Adrien came to school for the first time so I forgot everything about him, too.

"Oh, Kitty." I reach out my hand and he takes it and kisses it.

"I'm so glad you're back, Princess." I smile.

"So am I." I'm surprised when he jumps up and hits his head. "Adrien!"

"I'm fine. I just... I have something to do!" He jumps over the side of my bed and almost gives me a heart attack as he lands on his feet in front of my parents. "Sir." He says, nodding at my father. "Can I speak to you?"

"Of course you can! What do you need, son?" Adrien glances at me and grins before leaning in close to my father and whispering in his ear. My dad and Adrien glance at me constantly and I start to get annoyed. I noticed my mom was leaving and I spared a brief thought to where she was going before turning back to Adrien and my dad.

"Well?" Adrien asks, stepping back. My dad grins and claps a hand on his shoulder.

"Hurry back, son. We'll be waiting." My mom comes up through the door with a piece of cheesecake. Plagg flies out and eats it quickly.

"I haven't eaten in so long! I'm famished." He says before devouring the entire piece of cheesecake in one bite.

"Sorry about that Plagg. We have one more trip to make before you rest. Is that okay?" Plagg burps then folds his arms and looks at Adrien.

"Depends. What's the trip?" Adrien motions him over and Plagg flies over. Adrien whispers in his ear and Plagg's eyes light up. "Are you kidding? I've been waiting for this forever! Me and Sugarcube!"

"Well, then. We'd better hurry! Plagg, claws out!" I watch Adrien transform and leap up onto my bed. He leans in close and kisses me hard on the lips before grinning and disappearing through the door in the roof.

"What was that?" I ask, looking down at my parents and Felix. My parents share a sly smile and Felix grins.

"I have a hunch." He says.

"If none of you are going to tell me, can you give me a minute? I have a call to make." They all exchange a look with each other before heading to the door.

"If Adrien comes back, you'd better call us." My mom tells me sternly. I nod and grab my phone from the side of my bed. I turn it on and open it. I click the phone app and dial a number before holding the phone up to my ear.
