A Leap of Faith

The Date

Marinette

The weekend comes around and today I'm supposed to hang out with Luka or is it a date? I don't know anymore. I'm not sure if he likes me as a friend or likes me more than a friend. This is confusing me.

I check the time and it's 3:20 pm. Oh no I'm gonna be late, we're supposed to meet at the movies at 3:30 pm. I start running to the movies and I barely make it on time. I see Luka standing at the entrance. I started to get flustered. Was he always that good looking?

I start walking up to him. " Hey Luka. Sorry, were you waiting long?"

" No, not at all. Here I already bought the tickets, let's head inside."

After the movie we decided to go for a walk at Pont des Arts. When we suddenly hear Andre the ice cream maker.

" My name is Andre Andre glacier the sweetheart matchmaker with one scoop or two I'll find love for two with magical ice cream flavors my name is Andre Andre glacier the sweetheart matchmaker with one scoop or two I'll find love for two with magical ice cream flavors."

" Wanna get ice cream?" Luka asks while looking at me with a soft look on his face.

" Uhh y-yeah sure."

I go find a place to sit while Luka gets the ice cream. " So are you liking your date so far? I hear Tiki ask as she flies out my purse."

" Tiki be careful and this isn't a date. I don't think he likes me in that way."

" Are you sure about that?"

As I was thinking about it I heard some familiar voices coming my way. " Hide Tiki."

As soon as I said that I turned around and it was Adrien and Kagami. What are they doing here?

" Marinette? Is that you?"

" Oh Adrien Kagami, what are you guys doing here? I thought your father didn't let you out of the house."

" He doesn't. We're supposed to be at fencing right now, but oh no Kagami isn't this Pont des Arts?"

" Oh no you're right."

They both start laughing and I'm starting to feel uncomfortable. I wonder where Luka is? What's taking him so long?

" Anyways what are you doing here Marinette? Are you by yourself?" Adrien asks while both of them stare at me.

" Oh well um ah-actually I-" before I could finish I felt someone put their hand on my shoulder.

" She's actually here with me and if you guys don't mind we kinda have to get going now. We'll see you guys later. Let's go Marinette."

" Oh right see you guys later."

We start walking away until we can't see them anymore. I have never been so relieved to see Luka in my whole life. I mean don't get me wrong I don't like Adrien that much anymore, but I don't think I can face them just yet.

" Hey are you okay? You looked a bit uncomfortable back there."

" Oh yeah I'm fine, why wouldn't I be?"

" Ok if you say so. Here. Do you want ice cream? He asked while handing me the ice cream cone.

" Yeah I would love some. Thank you."

" Oh by the way if you were wondering this is a date just, so you know."

I could feel that my face was turning red and my heart was beating so fast. So this was a date after all. After we finished our ice cream Luka walked me home and before we knew it we were in front of my house. I honestly didn't want to say bye to him yet. I wish we could hang out a bit longer. I-

" Marinette, are you listening?"

" Oh sorry I was lost in thought. What were you saying?"

" Nevermind I'll get going now good night."

" Night." I say as I'm walking inside the bakery while waving goodbye. I eventually make it to my room when I get a text notification. I check my phone and it's ADRIEN! Wait Adrien why is he texting me all of a sudden. I check the message and it says " Hey Marinette I was wondering if you weren't busy tomorrow and if you aren't do you want to hang out. I kinda need your advice on something."

Wait he wants my advice on something I wonder what it could be about. Right when I was about to text him back I got another text notification this time it's from Luka. " Hey I just wanted to tell you I had a lot of fun today and I know this is sudden, but if you don't have any plans tomorrow I was wondering if you wanted to hang out."

" Wow there are two guys asking to hang out with you tomorrow and what are you going to do Marinette?" Tiki asks as she flies away from my shoulder.

" I don't know Tiki, this is all so confusing."

" Well you're going to have to make a choice soon."
