Arranged Marriage

Chapter 6

Adrien stared in shock as Marinette ran out of the restaurant. She seemed to catch everyone's attention too.

Tom, Sabine and Gabriel walked up to Adrien. "Did something happen?" Tom asked Adrien.

"It's just uh- I'll go and talk to her." He said, not wanting to make Tom angry.

Tom, Sabine and Gabriel watched as Adrien exited the restaurant.

"Aw, that's a pity. We ordered the food already, and bam, they're gone." Sabine said with a frown.

Tom and Gabriel chuckled.

~o0O0o~

"Aw man, seriously, now I have to deal with this?" Adrien mumbled as he walked through the streets, looking for Marinette.

Then something suddenly caught his eye. More like someone. It was Marinette, crying in a corner.

He walked up to her, looking pissed.

"There you are. What the hell were you thinking, running off like that?" He said as he gripped her wrist.

"Let go of me!" She yelled as she pulled back her arm.

"Woah, calm the hell down. What's wrong with you?"

"No, what's wrong with you?! I come here, trying to act nice to you, and you treat me like shit!"
(Sorry for the language guys :p)

Adrien seemed to be taken aback. "I was just being honest. Sure, your pretty and all, but that doesn't mean I'll love you. So stop being so dramatic, and come back to restaurant with me." He said, and he gripped her wrist again, dragging her with him.

She pulled back once again.

"Oh no. No, no and no. You can not treat me like this. Sure, I understand what you mean by saying that you won't love me. I feel the same way, especially when it comes to you–but I will not let you treat me this was Adrien Agreste."

"And what do you mean by 'especially when it comes to you'?" He asked, kinda disappointed.

"Is that even a question? The way you treated me back there, saying rude stuff. If this is what you will always treat me like after we're married, I won't marry you. I never wanted to anyway, especially now that I know how you feel about me."

"Listen I–its just that..." he couldn't find words to say. How was he going to respond to this? He probably had to be honest.

"I got out of a relationship. I had to break up with my girlfriend after learning that I'll be getting married. And I'm sorry that I was so rude back there, okay? It's just that I didn't knew how to act. I thought that it would be the best that if I acted cold towards you, it would be the best..." he managed to say.

Marinette just stared at him, her cheeks pink.

"Well Adrien... I-Im glad that you were uh, honest with me. But you can't treat me that way. Your gonna be stuck with me for a while. And when I say a while, I mean like for a very long time."

They both giggled. "Well," Adrien said. "I'm glad that we sort this out. Now can we please go back to the restaurant? Your parents and my dad are waiting for us." He said.

She nodded. "Yeah, alright. Let's go then."

And with that they walked back to the restaurant.

~o0O0o~

"There you guys are!" Sabine said when she saw Marinette and Adrien walking in together.

"What happened dear? Why did you ran out like that?"

Marinette looked at Adrien, then back at her mother, and smiled.

"It was nothing mom. We sorted it out. It's all fine." She said.

"Okay. If you say so then..." her mother said.

Then a waiter came, bringing their food.

"Aha! The food is here." Tom said.

They all sat down, and enjoyed their meal as they got to know each other.

Adrien looked at Marinette and gave a little smile. She smiled back.

'Maybe it won't be that bad...' both of them thought.

But no. That my dear readers, is just the beginning of a romantic but a funny twisted love story.
