The Honey Trap [An Adrienette Story]

Chapter 17

BREAKING NEWS!

The Louvre Museum was put into lockdown yesterday morning after a rare artefact exhibition was tampered with and the automatic alarms set off.

It is yet to be confirmed if anything was stolen, however eyewitness accounts have stated that a rare 'siren' feather, which was one of the key artefacts in the display, has been missing since the lockdown yesterday. It is uncertain whether the feather had been taken off display for safety reasons, or it was the removal of the feather which had triggered the alarm. The feather has been rumoured to hold hidden powers, powers that the siren's used to lure sailors into the path of destruction.

The display will be closed from today for the foreseeable future, the entrance blocked off with an additional 'Mona Lisa' gift shop.

In other news, Ladybug and Chat Noir have unsurprisingly been nominated once again for 'Couple of the Year', however those checking out the other finalists will see the lack of the 'Agreste's' making it into the top three. It seems Vivica Agreste's, 23, 'pregnancy' announcements have stirred her fan base with the majority supporting Adrien Agrest, 24, against his wife's cruel joke. Could this be the end for France's favourite civilian couple?

Adrien is due to fly out to Argentina to film scenes for his upcoming movie 'Legal Blue' next week, and we are yet to have confirmation that Vivica will be flying out with him. This comes with rumours that Adrien has moved out of the material home and is now living in an apartment in Paris' city centre, alone.

Maybe life in paradise isn't as wonderful as we all thought?

'Don't you dare look back, just keep your eyes on me, I said no holding back, she said shut up and dance with me.

Adrien danced around his kitchen as he prepared his breakfast. As usual, he was following his morning routine, including asking Alexa for a selection of feel good tunes, and by God could she belt out some bangers if you asked her just right. This morning is definitely one of those days.

'This woman is my destiny, she said oh oh oh, shut up and dance with me.'

Milk. Check.

Eggs. Check.

Flour. Check.

Blueberries. Check.

Strawberries .... He picked up the punnet and stopped a smile stretching over his lips. The red fruit called to him in new ways. In ways that reminded him of Marinette's glossy, plump pink lips. Lips which were the perfect fit for him.

God, he was still riding high after his kiss with her yesterday.

It was the perfect restart to what would hopefully be a new and improved relationship between the two of them, he just had to get through these next few weeks and finally finalise his divorce. Jess had done a great job setting everything up, he could see why she was such a success story. The deal was pretty much signed, sealed and delivered ready to go to court. Even as far as the prenup was concerned Jess had covered it all. Only one more thing was needed to complete the deal, the decline of Gabriel Agreste.

Adrien knew he'd need to speak to Nathalie at some point, just for the clarification of what he already knew ... but that could wait. There were far more pressing matters at the moment.

Firstly, Argentina ... two whole weeks with Marinette away from everything and if it was up to him their relationship would be drastically changing over those two weeks. Away from prying eyes he could make his move, let her know exactly how he felt about her, how he'd always felt about her, even during those three years they were apart. He'd already started packing, making sure he had his best clothes ready; from underwear to lounge wear, he was dressing to impress.
