Kitty Cat (Chat Noir X Reader)

Chapter TWENTY-FOUR

I was stretching using the bars by the corner of my room. Something I did when I try to concentrate. There's a meet later tonight. A meet for all fashion designers all over Paris, surely enough it would be full of successors yet again and a night full of fake smiles and fake laughs. I had been accompanying mom to these events ever since I began modelling and I gotta say, these kind of events are boring.. all they do is say thank you and paparazzis would take any chance to take an ugly photo of you. The door opened slightly, I looked over to see Miranda's head peeking in. Nappy was inside the dollhouse enjoying yet another bowl of "delicious" and "Scrumptious" marshmallows..

"Your mother is in her room. She's asking for you to choose your dress for tonight in her office.. have you chosen your hairstyle for tonight?.." I glanced over to her as she held out a large hair magazine. I shook my head "okay?.. how about your make up? Would you have Natural? Demure? Innocent" I laughed

"Aren't they similar?" I giggled, and she slowly walked closer to me and ruffled my hair..

"I'm trying to make you smile kiddo.. you seem to be stressed about something.. is this about the boy we talked about?.." she asked me softly. I didn't answer.. I was confused towards my feelings.

"I guess it is.. but there's something that's bothering me.." Miranda sat at the edge of my bed showing that she was listening.. "remember Chloe?" She nodded

"She was your friend right? I mean before she became friends with the Agreste kid and your mom forbade you to continue talking to her.. correct?" I nodded

"This also has something to do with Adrien.. I'm not, comfortable with being in a 'relationship' with him anymore" I sighed.. "It used to be just so I could continue going to school.. but now?- I-ugh.. he's confusing me! Anyway, a few days back Chloe tried to tell people the truth between Adrien and I and It got me thinking.. why am I even doing this? Why.. do I have to lie to everyone just so mom could appreciate me?.." I trailed off..

"Look, your mom appreciates you.. she just doesn't show it that much.. she's-.." I cut her off before she could finish

"It's fine Miranda.. can I please go outside? You can choose the dress, hairstyle and accessories for me.." I didn't let her reply and simply grabbed my purse. I think Nappy heard my thoughts, because she darted inside my purse and I started walking towards the door. I need someone to talk to. I whipped out my phone and texted Mari that I was coming over.. taking out the key to my scooter. I pulled out of the estate's front yard..

Timeskip~~
I smiled at Mr. And Mrs. Dupein-Cheng. They were offering me a plate of macaroons. I was just about to accept the plate when Mari entered their home screeching.. she rushed over to me pushing me towards the stairs that leads up to her room. I didn't even realize all of these happening because of how fast it had happened.. and she had already slammed the trap door shut..

"Ahaha.. I'm sorry about my parents, they tend to get.. a little.. excited" I laughed lightly as she apologized whilst scratching her nape.. Both Tikki and Nappy jumped out from our purse and tackled each other into a hug. They then floated over to the second floor of Mari's room..

"It's fine.. they seem great. Wow, you room is.. so pink." I chuckled and jumped towards her bed cuddling the soft pillows..

"So what brings you here?" I looked down. I tapped the space beside me on her bed and she sat down

"I wanna tell you something.. It's about me and Adrien.. I-" she gasped.. shushing me with her pointer finger..

"Did you two.. break up?! You have to fix it right away! You two can't break up after all that acting I did in front if Mister Agreste this noon! That can't be I-umpph!" I cut her babbling off by covering her mouth with my palm..

"Chill Mari.. Adrien and I didn't break up.. at least not, considering there wasn't really a relationship involving me AND him.." she gasped, at least that was how it felt like.. she then tugged on my wrist.

"Wait.. so _(Shipname) has been falsely sailing this whole time?!" I smiled sadly at her.. "But you two were-.." Mari's phone that was situated on top of her desk rang.. she hurriedly ran over to it and answered.. "uhuh.. sure.. um wait one sec okay?.." she removed her phone from her ear looking over to me.. "we'll be continuing this conversation in a few.. but until then.. make yourself at home.." I nodded and she hurriedly ran out of her room.. paintings and charcoal portraits of her was hung on the wall. They all had Nathaniel's signature at the bottom of it.. it was very detailed. It's cute how Nathaniel shows his affection towards Mari given that he's very shy. It's a mystery how he even asked Mari out.. but I'm not complaining.. their cute. It's a classic Clumsly girl and Shy boy romance..

"Hmm, what's this?" I asked as I grasped a pink hardcovered sketchbook into my hand.. I flipped it page to page and was amazed at how Mari sketches her designs. There were dresses, pants, shirts, jumpers sweaters.. every variety of clothes you could choose from.. there were even sketches of accessories at the corner for each outfit

"_(Your Name) my parents are asking if you'd like some macaroons!!" She asked with her feet thudding onto the wooden floor as she made her way up.. "_(Your Na-)-eek!! No!" She dropped whatever she was holding and ran towards me grabbing the Sketchbook..

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to pry.." I looked down and she sighed..

"No need to be sad.. I'm sorry I was just.. embarrassed I guess, I mean your mom is like one of the best designers in Paris. And you saw my embarrassing sketches an-" I grasped her shoulders..

"They're great Mari.. if you'd like, I could give you a recommendation to become an intern designer.. that way you can make a name in the industry!! Wait.. you can even come with me us to the meet tonight!!" I beemed. This is so exciting.. "we can even bring Alya.. I'm texting mom.. and you call Alya.. wait you need dates!!!! Call Nathaniel AND Nino tell them to meet in my house.." I winked as I dialed Mom's number..

"What is it _(Your Name) I'm a busy woman.. this better not be a waste of time.." mom answered monotonously from the other line.. I sighed lightly

"Can I bring some friends to the meet later?.." I asked, slowly realizing that she might say no and would ruin the plans tonight.. the thought of just this made me sort of sad..

"Who arranged that proposterous ide!-.. *sigh* fine, they can come.. but! They are to be wearing from MY collection.. understood?" My eyes widened and I smiled.. I couldn't help it.. she said yes.

"Yes Ma'am! Understood.. thank you!.." I gleefully replied.. turning over towards Mari I told her the big news..
