Naked

Chapter 11- insecurities

Marinette's POV

Looking up at the man in front of me, I must admit he did indeed look like a movie star.

I giggled nervously due to him staring at me.

I finally decided to speak.

"Uh....thanks again. But if you don't mind I must get back to my boyfriend."

I rushed away from him, and out of the store hoping that I would find him waiting outside for me.

I scanned the whole area for him. I spotted him, walking towards me.

His hands were in his pockets and his head tilted down at the ground.

I rushed over to him.

"Adrien"

I grabbed his hand, but he yanks it away from me.

"Don't touch me" his tone serious. He almost scares me because of the way he's looking at me.

"Adrien please.....that stranger was just helping me. Nothing more....nothing less" I explain breathlessly.

"Whatever. I really don't care what's going on. I'm leaving" he turns around and is about to walk away.

I stop him by pulling his arm.

"Please.... don't go" I say, my voice low. Tears filled my eyes at the realization that I could actually lose him.

He looks at me with an expression I can only guess as pity.

"Marinette" he steps closer to me. He wipes the tears that are falling down my cheek.

"Oh baby....I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you cry. Come here" he embraces me tightly.

He caresses my hair, after placing a kiss on my temple.

Adrien's POV

We're on our way home. After all that crying Marinette passed out in the passenger seat on the way home.

I felt bad for the way I acted before. But I just got so angry.

That guy literally looked like a movie star compared to me. What if she found him more attractive than I am?

I really didn't mean to make her cry.

Maybe I should get her something special to apologize? Yeah....

Maybe I'll cook dinner for us tonight and purpose?

Noooooo

I feel like it's a bit too soon right now. Maybe I should wait for a time when we're both comfortable, relaxed.

And the atmosphere is romantic.....not awkward.

I glance at her sleeping figure in the passenger seat.

Smiling, I looked down at the ring in my pocket.

I hope she says yes.......
