CHAPTER IV

"So... You and this Clay guy... What was his deal?"

"Oh... I've been having a lot lately going on in my head and I snapped at him in the library... I was really mean... He has more than reasons to be upset with me, but, my pride stopped me from apologizing, so I guess I kinda had this coming for me" - Marinette said with a sad tone, it was obvious she regretted whatever it was she had done

"Oh... I... Well at least you and him are safe now, right?"

"Yeah... I'll try to apologize to him tomorrow... He deserves it"

*Not everyone is willing to admit their mistakes* - Chat thought to himself

"So... Hum... Chat... What's it like to fight the bad guys with Ladybug? As much as I wanna know I must admit I'm also asking for Alya, she's my best friend and she's really into your partner" - she giggled

"Oh... Ladybug... She... She's awesome... Really..." - he said blushing

"Is she your lady? Like, special girl?"

"Are you asking that for Alya too?" - Chat giggled out

"As much as she would love to know if there's something going on between Chat Noir and Ladybug..." - Marinette hesitated "I'm actually asking for myself" - she was surprisingly confident saying those words

"Oh... I..." - Chat blushed "Actually... She was, but a friend made me realize that maybe I don't know her that well"

"What do you mean?" - a concerned look spreads upon her face, she thought that Chat liked Ladybug. No. She was sure of it

"Well... I was... And to be honest... Am attracted to her... But that's all... She is special but it's not like I would date her... She's m'lady but I wouldn't want her as my lady you know?"

Marinette had a disappointed look, she had finally worked up the courage, and the time finally seemed appropriate to open up her heart to Chat

Chat, he also noticed her look, Ladybug wasn't his special girl anymore, the girl sitting in the bed next to him was. After seeing a spark in her eyes die out he knew he had to do something. He couldn't really approach Marinette as Adrien because even thought she was much easier to talk to now, she still acted somewhat weird and uncomfortable

"But... There is other girl..."

"Really? Who's the lucky one" - she wasn't excited anymore, she was just curious, not even sad, after all, she just wanted him to be happy, even if it meant she would have to hear Chat brag about his dates with this 'other girl' when they were fighting together. She knew anyone would really be lucky to have someone like Chat by their side

"Hum... Well... She... Has these big blue eyes that I always seem to get lost in. Her hair is like a navy blue, I love it, now that I think of it, that's a lot of blue" - he giggled shyly

Marinette stood there in awe, could the girl be her?

They locked eyes

"My heart starts beating like crazy when we look at each other. She looks so full of life..." - he starts slowly leaning into her

"I think her heart also beats crazy fast when she looks at you" - she starts leaning into too

"I've been dreaming about her lips for a really long time y'know?" - he says looking at her inviting mouth

"You don't need to dream anymore" - she cups his face and they lock lips

It was a tender kiss, an innocent and pure kiss but filled with deep passion and desire, they didn't seem to get enough of each other's embrace, when they realized it, they were already laid in Marinette's bed and Chat's hands were going under her shirt, but they stopped

"I think you're her special boy" - she said on top of him

"I think that too" - he let out a smirk that turned her insides into jelly

"But my parents are downstairs so we should probably keep it pg" - she smiled

"Beautiful" - he smiles back

"What?" - her eyes scanning his face

"You"

Their smiles touch in a peck as they get up

"You were very straightforward" - Chat said

"Well I had to know, plus, it's not like we're together all the time" - she said facing him on his lap

"It's ok. I liked it. A lot." - he says interlocking their fingers "I think the sun is setting, I bet you would look even more beautiful with the sun gently hitting on your face" - Chat lets out another smirk while he pulls a strand of hair off her face

She smiles shyly, he smiles back as they walk up to the porch, holding hands, Marinette's phone rings

"It's my mom" - she picks up "Yes? Hum hum... Ok... Sure... See yah love you"

"What was it?"

"My parents are leaving for a fancy dinner"

"Oh... You didn't tell me"

"I wasn't expecting for things to turn out like this" - they stand face to face, Chat has his arms around her waist, she has her's around his neck, she leans into his ear and whispers:

"You know what that means?"

"That gorgeous sun goddess Marinette is over?" - he says with a deep voice that makes her bite her lip while looking at his

They kiss once again, the sunset in the background. A beautiful moment. They stop once they see Marinette's parents leaving

"BYE" - the two love birds scream while waving at the parents, who, do the same after hearing them, Chat still has a arm around her waist but it's low enough that the porch makes it unnoticeable for the parents

As they kiss their way back into the room, Marinette's jacket is already off when she remembers

"But, what about your ring?" - they pull apart from the intense kiss

"Oh... Yeah... That... I guess tonight will have to remain pg" - they both laugh

Chat goes to lay on Marinette's bed, she changes into her pijamas and Chat sees it all. He doesn't see it as a sexual thing, he is just blown away by her beauty. The dimples in her back, the freckles on her shoulders, even the small dimples of celulite in her thighs, he takes it all in and admires it *I could really have something real with this girl* - he thinks to himself

Marinette turns around, now ready to bed, and is greeted with Chat's face in complete awe

"What?" - she says playfully

"Nothing... I just didn't know you could get any more beautiful"

They both thought the other was just exaggerating because they thought the other didn't know them that well. Little they know how wrong they were

Marinette lays next to Chat but under the covers, she's the little spoon

He puts his hand under her shirt to trace drawings on her back which eventually make her fall asleep

Chat falls asleep for some time too but wakes up to the sound of the last beep of his ring, he takes one last look at his special girl who just sleeps so peacefully by his side

He transforms back to Adrien, Marinette still sleeps, he kisses her gently on the back of her neck and lets his lips still on her skin and whispers "I'll come back, my lady"
