Jealous In Love Part 3

Chapter 6 (July 24th)

I meet Luka at the bridge for our date. We get ice cream and sit on a nearby bench. The wind blows roughly and a bundle of hair swifts to the front of my face. He pushes it behind my ear, smoothly. He smiles at me and that is when I feel the butterflies dancing around in my stomach. My heart pounds in my chest as he leans in closer to me.

"You wanna try my ice cream?" I ask, stopping him from kissing me.

"Yeah. sure," he says, a little disappointed. I give him a spoon of my ice cream and he gives me a spoon too.

We finish our ice cream and the second I turn to face Luka, he kisses me. When he kissed me, I felt a spark. I forgot about this ever since Adrien first kissed me. Maybe somewhere deep down in my heart, I still have feelings for Luka.

I can't resist and I don't want to.

"I can't remember the last time we were so happy together" he starts as he pulls away. "You're always so distant lately. But you know if there's ever a problem, you can tell me, right?"

"Yeah, yeah I know," I say softly as he puts his arm around me. He cups my face with one hand and softly kisses me.

As we pull away, from the corner of my eye I see someone looking my way.

Kagami? I think to myself before I actually see the person.

"Hey, Adrien." I hear Luka call.

I get up quickly. "A-Adrien." I stutter. Luka stands up with me, not noticing my unease.

"Hey Marinette, Luka" he greets calmly with a smug smile

"We were just about to leave, but if you want I guess we can stay for a while!" Luka cheers

"Sure, if it's alright with Marinette?" He asks

My heart pounds harder. How can I reject it now?. "No problem." I force myself out.

I hope things just go well since both Luka and Adrien are here.

We sit on the bench and Adrien sits to my left, while Luka, to my right. I feel suffocated and I need air. It feels as if my lungs have failed me when I feel Adrien's elbow rest on my shoulder. Sirens ring in my head. Luka puts his arm around me, pushing Adrien's elbow away. I don't know whether he noticed it or not. I don't want Adrien to feel jealous, nor Luka to get suspicious.
I simply sit there, sandwiched between the two boys as they speak to one another.

It was already a hot day out, and now I feel like I am burning.

I stand up and the boys suddenly stop their chattering to look up at me.

"I'm gonna go get us some more ice cream," I say rubbing the sweat off my hands. I hurry away and take my time. I can't be with both of them at the same time and place. I get super anxious.

I head over to André before he could disappear. He was far so I had to run.

"Three ice creams please," I say, panting with my hands on my knees.

André giggles. "I see you have a little problem. I only have enough for two more ice creams."

"I will take two then," I reply, slowly getting my energy back.

He hums a song while he scoops the ice cream into the cones.

"Here you are Marinette, for your two friends." he smiles, handing me the cones and then walking away.

I take my time walking back, but fast enough so the ice cream doesn't melt in my hands.

When I get back Adrien and Luka are laughing about something. I hear them mentioning my name. I wonder what they're talking about. I hope it isn't anything embarrassing about me.
