Chapter 11

A/N: Listening to Jazz while writing Chapter 11 is so good.

Third-Person POV:

"Apologies for the slight delay. Here's your meal and the two coffees. Enjoy!" The waitress said as she placed the meal and the coffees on the table.

"Thank you, dear. Don't worry about it." Sabine said.

"Thank you." Marinette said.

The waitress nodded and headed to the kitchen.

The tantalizing aroma of the fresh food and coffee filled the restaurant. Sabine and Marinette were about to take a bite of their food before being interrupted by the loud blast of police sirens. 

Marinette looked into her mother's eyes. There was a hint of anxiousness. Marinette reached her hand out and placed it on her mother's.

"Don't worry, Maman. I'm sure it's nothing." Marinette reassured.

Sabine smiled at her concerned daughter and patted her head gently.

"Thank you." She said.

Suddenly, Marinette felt her sling bag wriggle. Sabine was watching the news. She smiled at her mom nervously before taking a peek inside of her bag.

"Tikki! What is it?" Marinette shouted-whispered.

"There's a chocolate fountain! A. Chocolate. Fountain. It's massive! I wanna try it!" Tikki squeaked.

Marinette smiled at her kwami and and said to her mother, "Mom, I'm going to the washroom for a bit. You can start first." 

Sabine nodded and started to take a sip of her coffee before turning her attention back to the news.

Marinette made her way to the chocolate fountain that was near to the wash room and gave Tikki a skewer that had a few marshmallows stuck onto it. Tikki grabbed hold of the skewer and drizzled the chocolate over it. 

"Thanks Marinette!" Tikki chirped.

When Tikki was done indulging herself, she let out a tiny burp. Marinette giggled and placed a few cookies into her bag before placing Tikki in it.

Just when she was about to leave and go back to her mother, the bathroom door behind her swung open. Marinette jolted and turned around. 

It was Adrien.

"Adrien! What brings you here?" Marinette asked.

"N-No reason at all..." Adrien says before trailing off to look at Marinette. He looked at her from top to bottom before continuing, "You look different. You like nice." 

"T-Thanks, Adrien." Marinette said while trying to hide the blush that was appearing on her face.

They stood in that position for a few more seconds before Marinette broke the silence.

"I-I'm her with my mom. Hah. Do you want to join us?" She asks.

"My bodyguard might be looking for m-"

Before Adrien could finish, three policemen barged into the restaurant.

"Sorry to disturb this fine establishment, but we suspect that the criminal: 'Chat Blanc' might have entered the building. You don't mind if we do a quick round of inspection. Do you?" One of the policemen asked the manager.

"Of course not. Please, go ahead." The manager replied.

"I think I can spare some time." Adrien said to Marinette.

"Okay, this way then." Marinette said while leading Adrien to her table.

Marinette POV:

"Maman! This is my friend, Adrien! The one that I did the project with. Remember?" I told my mom.

"Good evening, Ms Dupain Cheng." Adrien greeted.

"Ah yes, Adrien Agreste. Please do sit." Mom said while pulling out another chair.

Adrien sat down followed by me. I handed him the menu to order a quick bite before signaling the waitress. She took down the notes before heading back into the kitchen.

After a few minutes or so, Adrien's food arrived. He had ordered a small bread bowl that was filled with mushroom soup. 

I could tell that Adrien was bothered by something but I couldn't quite put my finger on it. But I believed that maybe it had something to do with the police since he kept glancing at them every few seconds. I noticed that he wasn't as tense as before when the police left. But, I couldn't just assume. 

Soon, we all started eating our food. I used the knife and started to slice my food slowly. When I ate it, my insides melted. It was delicious.

"Are you both enjoying your food?" I asked to break the silence.

Adrien gave a nod and my mom smiled at me.

When Adrien was drinking his soup, my mother asked a question.

"So, Adrien. Do you have a girlfriend?" 

ROTFL.
