Adrien waits for Alexis to pick him up, looking annoyed, He hated when Alexis picked him up because people would see that her looked more like his sister than his mom and they'd ask him questions.*
He didn't want Alexis to be reminded of why his dad left also, it would hurt her feelings,He looked up from his phone when Alexis pulled up in her car,
trying to shield her from everyone when Alexis came out.* Come on, we are getting your favorite, tacos for dinner "Alexis said softly"
Adrien rolled his eyes but got into the car, He closed the door behind himself and leaned back in the passenger seat with his arms crossed.*
You know it's awkward when you come to pick me up."he mumbled as Alexis got into the car and buckled her seat belt.*
Everyone thinks you're my older sister, not my mom."Adrien said"I will not pick you up now on then... walk if you want... "Alexis said softly but quietly and driving*
Adrien looked surprised and slightly guilty when he realized he had upset Alexis.*
No, I-I didn't mean it like that.."he said, his defiant attitude immediately softening, He let out a frustrated sigh and leaned his head back against the headrest.*
It's just... you're so young, you look more like my older sister rather than my mom, People keep asking me if you had me when you were like 15.."Adrien said"
I had you when I was 17, I am only 29 now. "Alexis said softly"Adrien nodded and looked out the window. He knew that Alexis had him when she was only 17 but still... she looked so young that most people assumed she was in her early 20s. It made him feel a mixture of emotions - proud to have such a young and attractive mom,
but also embarrassed when people assumed they were siblings instead.*I know..."Adrien said quietly* I'm sorry, I didn't mean to sound ungrateful or something,
I appreciate what you do for me.."he also said"Alexis looked at her phone and noticed her ex husband Cole texted her*Alexis text Cole back: what is it?*
Adrien leaned a little to the side to see who Alexis was texting, trying to see what the message said But he tried to remain subtle about it,
pretending to be more interested in looking out of the window.*Cole text back: does the kid want to spend time with me?
Alexis text back: dude, he is sixteen, it's his choice.*Adrien's ears perked up when he heard the mention of 'dad'. He looked over at Alexis, surprised that his dad would even be texting her.*
When he heard her respond, he felt a mix of emotions. On one hand, he was a bit annoyed that his dad even had the audacity to ask to see him after abandoning them,
but on the other hand, he was curious about what his dad wanted, He stayed quiet and continued to listen to their conversation*
Sweetie it's your choice not his, he can't make you go to his place if you're not comfortable you don't need to go. "Alexis said softly to Adrien*
Adrien looked at Alexis, his eyes filled with a mix of feelings, He appreciated that she was giving him the choice and not forcing him to go see his dad.*
He sighed and ran a hand through his hair: I don't know...."he said, uncertainty in his voice* It's just... it's been so long... I don't even know
what to say to him anymore.."he also said"Well you are older enough to make decisions. "Alexis said softly"Adrien nodded in agreement, but he still looked conflicted.*
I know."he said quietly*It's just....I've been so angry at him for abandoning us, and I don't know if I'm ready to forgive him yet."Adrien also said"
It's okay baby boy, none of it isn't your fault, he wasn't ready to be a father. "Alexis said softly"Adrien felt a pang of sadness and anger when Alexis mentioned that his dad wasn't ready to be a father.*
