Miraculous- Happy Ever After...?

Chapter 18- The Return

Marinette's POV

It's been a few days since we've returned to Paris. We had a few days off before going back to school. Today, was Saturday and we would be returning to school on Wednesday. So, many good things came from the trip. Adrien and I becoming a couple and the same happening with Alya and Nino. Just the experience of going to California, was amazing. But, the good always comes with the bad. Like the drama Chloe caused which hopefully doesn't continue in Paris. I was currently in my room finishing  unpacking, when my phone beeped. I picked up my phone to see a message from Alya.

Alya: Hey girl

Mari: Hey, what's up

Alya: I was wondering if you wanted to go to this new cafe for some girl time!

Mari: Sure! What time?

Alya: I'll be at your house at 4

Mari: Alrighty, cya then

Alya: Cya!

I put my phone down and started to get ready. I changed into light pink sweater with black jeans and black boots. I styled my hair into my usual pigtails. It was mid- November in Paris so, it was getting a bit chilly. I looked at the time and I had 30 minutes until Alya arrived.

"You look nice today." Tikki complimented.

"Thanks Tikki." I replied back. I grabbed my sketchbook off my desk and started to design some winter hats. After, a few minutes the doorbell rang, and I grabbed my purse and rushed downstairs. I swung open the door to see Alya with a bright smile on her face. She then hugged me tightly and I returned the hug.

"I missed you so much Mari." Alya said happily.

"It's just been a few days Alya." I giggled.

"I know, but it feels like forever." She laughed, as she pulled away from the hug.

"So, are you ready to go?" Alya beamed.

"Of course." I locked the door not forgetting to take the key. We made our way to the new cafe, a few blocks from my house. The cafe's name was La Creperie, when we entered the cafe it had light pastel walls, and booths. I could smell the scent of coffee beans, and baked goods. We chose to sit in a booth near the window.

"So, how did you find this new cafe?" I asked.

"Well, yesterday when I was taking a walk I stumbled upon it. So, I thought it would be nice to hang out with my bestie here." She responded.

"I'm glad we get relax a bit before going back to school." I replied.

"Totally agree with you on that one girl." She chuckled.

"Have you decided what you're going to order?" I questioned.

"Hmm.. probably a croissant and a vanilla latte. What about you?" She questioned back.

"I'll probably have a croissant too and a strawberry frappe." I answered. When the waitress came over we repeated our orders. Our orders would be ready in a few minutes so Alya and I continued chatting. 

"So, have you hung out with lover boy since we came back?" Alya asked curiously 

"No, his father wanted him to continue modeling as soon as we returned." I sighed sadly.

"Don't worry Mari you guys will hang out soon. So, turn that frown back around."

"Thanks Alya, you're right." I giggled. The waitress came back with orders and began to enjoy our food. After, finishing our food we payed for our bill and made our way out of the cafe.
