My Angel

Chapter 8

Marinette skipped happily towards André's stall with Felix following close behind with a small smile on his face at her excitement.

"André!" She called to the man.

"Ah! Madame Marinette! Are you here for ice cream?" The cheery man asked.

Marinette nodded. "One for each of us please!"

"Hmmm. Alright, for you, banana ice cream for his hair, coffee ice cream for his independence, alertness and loyalty and finally blueberry syrup for his eyes and ." He gave the ice cream to her and she beamed

"And for you sir, blueberry ice cream for her hair, cookie dough for her sweet loving personality and creativity. Enjoy"

"Thank you..." Felix understood what the man was saying and he tried not to blush at the possibility. He wasn't sure if Marinette was really paying attention as she already seemed to be enjoying the ice cream that could have been describing him...

Does that mean something?

Goodness. He never would have imagined himself thinking about it more this way because of ice cream.

Meanwhile...

Nino sighed, looking out of his window as he played the recent events in his mind from yesterday evening.

Flashback

"We can't do this anymore" Alya suddenly said to him.

"Sorry?" He replied, thinking he'd misheard her.

"You heard me, Nino! We can't be together anymore"

He looked shocked. "What do you mean? We've been together for two years Alya.  What reason do you have to break up with me!?"

"You were childhood friends with Marinette right?" She asked

"Yeah- what the hell does that have to do with anything?"

"And you used to like her too. Right?"

Nino removed his glasses and pinched the bridge of his nose. "That was years ago. Where are you going with this?"

"Ha!" She startled him. "Lila said that to save me the heartbreak, I should end things"

Nino stared at her wide-eyed, not believing what he has just heard come out of Alya's mouth "What the fuck do you mean she told you to break up with me"

"Don't you see!" Alya snapped. "People who have had such a relationship tend to end up going back to them. Lila said! It's even happened to her before in one of her past relationships when she lived used in Canada. I doubted it at first but the more I thought about it the more it made sense-"

"That literally makes no damn sense Alya! Are you even listening to how ridiculous you sound right now! Why on Earth would you believe that!?"

"It's true! I got the facts from Lila, and you have been acting odd lately. It's a sign and I'm saving myself disappointment"

Nino was livid. This was so dumb. Why would Alya believe what Lila-

Shit...

This was all starting to make sense to him now. Everything he had been contemplating recently has only just proved his doubts.

Marinette was right.

Lila is a manipulative liar. And now she somehow, for whatever reason, got Alya to break things off with him!
