What happened in Stockholm [GxG]

Part 3: Sorry for What?

Marinette's POV

6 months

6 months and I can't forget what happened in Stockholm.

I checked the mailbox and there was a red envelope. I took it and opened the seal to see a letter:

I remember the day, the hour, the minute, the second I saw you and fell for you back in Mumbai. Hair dark as night, ocean blue eyes that are more deeper than any ocean I have known. Lips as pink as the petals of a lotus in the heart of a pond. Understand how I longed to hold you in my arms and be that butterfly that sat upon your shoulder in the garden. I love you and only you.

No name, date or address.

I blushed. I think it was Scarlett. 

I then took my notepad out and wrote on it:

Is that you, Scarlett?

A simple question. 

I tore the page and put it in the mail box.

Scarlett's POV

I never thought that I would get a response to the letter. 

I looked at the white paper with the neatly scrawled words.

I decided to write the answer.

Yes, it's me, Scarlett.

And I put it in her mail box.

The next day, she replied and underneath the reply was a number **********.

And underneath was an adorable smile.

I dialed the number and she answered.

'Hello.' 

'Hi.'

'So, you have been reading my messages?'

I could feel her go red in the face

'...yes.'

'Well, that's good. Are you busy?'

'No, not now.'

'Ok, bye.'

'Bye.'

I saved her number and I just put two hearts on the name:

'Mari🖤🤍'

'If your crush on her is tiny, I am not alive.' Jack said.

I looked at him and saw that he was grinning and I said, 'I-I don't-'

'Oh, you do. Why can't you two just date already?!'

I rolled my eyes and went to my room. I flopped on the bed and a message popped up.

It was from Marinette.

Can you come over?  If we meet, the first thing I want you to do is kiss me, show me how much you love me.

Oh, I would. I wrote:

Wait patiently, I will.

Ok

I laughed at her response. I never ever could get enough of her.

Next day

Marinette's POV

I hummed as I looked at the rose plant. 

'Kill 'em with kindness...

Kill 'em with kindness...

Kill 'em with kindness...

Go ahead, go ahead now.'

I touched the most beautiful rose of the plant and immediately something made me remember what happened in Stockholm.

Scarlett, her cuts, bruises on her face.

All because of Chief, Kara, Connor, Conan, everyone I have known, this happened.

I never knew that I had bottled up so much emotion until now. 

I felt something warm trickle down my face. I put my hand on my cheek and realized it was tears. I let them fall.

'I'm sorry...' I whispered.

'Sorry for what?' I heard someone ask.
