Drowning Desires

Maura

I knocked on the door, my hand in a tight fist as I tried to sooth my racing heart.

Adrien opened the door smiling brighter than I had even seen him before. My eyes widened as I took him in.

Rather than being dressed in his usual jeans with a t-shirt or hoodie. He was wearing a black suit with an emerald green tie.

An emerald green tie to match my emerald green dress that pressed tightly against my torso before flaring out beneath me.

The suit looked amazing on Adrien. He wasn't yet wearing his blazer, allowing me to see how the fabric of his white button up shirt fitted well against his toned arms and chest.

I could imagine the same look on Adrien's face was plastered all across mine. Complete awe for one another.

Adrien cleared his throat before meeting my eyes. "You look beautiful." He said in a near whisper.

I winked at him before brushing past and into his home. "I know." I said before adding. "I suppose you cleaned up pretty well yourself."

Adrien's hand slapped my ass, causing me to yelp. A young girl ran around the corner a second later.

Maddie, if I remembered correctly.

Her big, blue eyes grew wide as she saw me. "She looks like a princess Adrien." She breathed.

My heart crumpled and I crouched to meet her height, now taller due to my silver heels.

"The only princess around here is you." I said back with a soft smile.

Maddie squealed and surprisingly hugged me. "Adrien talked about you alot this week." That shocked me more than the hug. I squeezed the brown haired girl back and pulled away to give Adrien a curious look.

"Mum was asking about it at when she asked for us to ear dinner as a family. Maddie wanted to meet you." He said, his cheeks going red as he blushed.

I opened my mouth to reply when a boy that looked around ten and was the boy version of Maddie walked around the corner. A girl that looked around twelve that was a mix of Maddie and their mother next to him.

"Maura, this is Christopher and Amelia." Adrien grunted from behind me, clearly not used to introducing girls to the family.

Christoper, with his wide eyes just stared, I could already tell that he was trouble. Amelia, with her blue eyes and dark long hair gave me a tight smile.

I smiled calmly to both of them before Adrein steered me to the kitchen.

I found Adrien's parents sitting at the dining table, food laid out before them.

We had a senior dance tonight. However, Adrien had insisted that I meet his family before hand, apparently his mother was trying to talk to him more and be more... motherly. His father, he was still as absent in his life, but the tormenting had ceased.

His parents stood and walked over to me. His did. was tall and defiantly could knock me out with one punch. He had light brown hair, greying at the roots and grey eyes like Adrien.
