Chapter 18

Third-Person POV:

With extreme caution, Marinette crept up behind the mysterious blonde. She grabbed a pan that was conveniently sitting on the kitchen counter. Her grasp on the pan tightened as she walked closer to the blonde.

The moment she got into position and was about to hit him, the blonde turned around, grabbed her wrist and stopped her. Marinette let out a gasp and dropped the pan because of the unexpected gesture. Her blue eyes locked with his familiar emerald green eyes.

Marinette's eyes trailed everywhere over the blonde. He had a red bandana tied around his face so she could only see his eyes. Somehow, just from looking at his eyes, Marinette felt a familiar presence with the blonde. He was wearing a sage green hoodie and grey sweatpants.

"Relax, Marinette. It's me, Chat Blanc." The blonde said.

"Oh! Its just you! Sorry." Marinette said while rubbing the back of her neck with her hand.

"It's fine." Chat Blanc said.

"What are you doing?" Marinette asked.

"Preparing dinner for us." He said.

"Can I help?" Marinette volunteered.

Chat nodded his head and gave Marinette some tomatoes to cut.

"Those are clean. Just cut em' up." He says while handing her a knife.

Marinette turned around and placed the tomatoes on the chopping board and started slicing them with the knife.

Chat Blanc had already prepared the pasta and was now separating them onto two plates. Once Marinette was down slicing the tomatoes, she passed them to Chat Blanc who tossed it into the pasta sauce.

After a few minutes, Chat Blanc took the small pot of pasta sauce and drizzled an appropriate amount onto the two plates. Chat Blanc took his share and walked towards the bedroom leaving Marinette alone in the kitchen.

"Enjoy your meal. Don't worry, it's not poisoned." He said at the doorway of the bedroom before going in.

Marinette let out a small chuckle and sighed. She sat down on the living room floor cross-legged and started to eat her pasta. Marinette took a piece of pasta and gestured Tikki to come out. Tikki poked her head out of Marinette's jacket and grabbed the piece of pasta and started nibbling on it.

Marinette ate a forkful of pasta while giving Tikki a piece of pasta every few minutes.

"Marinette, how long do you intend to stay with Chat Blanc?" Tikki chirped.

"I honestly don't know. I just don't want to go back to Paris and face the police. Ever since Chat Blanc had busted me out of the police station, I know that the police have already confirmed that I am in cahoots with him. They will stop at nothing to track me and him down." Marinette said.

"Marinette, right now, I know that your situation is difficult. But eventually, you'll have to got back to Paris, okay?" Tikki said.

"I know, Tikki." Marinette sighed.

I'M SO SORRY FOR NOT POSTING EVERYDAY. I TRY TO.
