friends or not..?

thoughts.

Marinette POV

I'm doing the right thing right? A little time away from Adrien to clear my head isn't too bad...right?

It's been a few days since I last spoke to him and I can't get this empty feeling out of my chest.

I miss him. That enough is obvious, but like I said before I need to figure out my feelings about this whole thing.

I love Adrien, but did that actually mean anything to him?

Ugh. Why did I have to start having these doubts now? Why couldn't I just continue with what we had?

Because you want it to be something more.

I shook the thought from my head ignoring how true it is.

"Marinette?" I looked over to Tikki who sat on the coffee table eating a cookie. "Your phone's ringing."

I picked up the device to see a picture of Alya and me across the screen and I answered.

"Hi Alya."

"Hey Mari! I feel like I haven't seen you in forever we should hang out today."

Maybe some time with Alya is what I need, a little girl time might help clear my head.

"Sure." I replied. "What did you have in mind?"

"My mom has this new menu item I've been dying to try out and since she's the head chef we get a discount along with free dessert.~" she sang.

I laughed, to Alya nothing was better than free food, being my best friend got her that pass at my parents bakery.

But than a thought crossed my mind. "Aren't you a little worried about running into Chloe again?"

"Marinette...I don't give a damn about Chloe. I want my free dessert."

I couldn't stop the laugh from spilling out. "Okay haha okay I'll come along then."

"Great! I'll be there in about 20 so be ready."

"Alright" with that I ended the call. I was already dressed for the day in case I needed to go out anyway. I slipped on my shoes and sat on the couch. I tried passing the time by looking through my phone, but that was a bad idea.

Scrolling through my gallery I came across a picture of Adrien and I. I was leaning back against his chest while he held the camera up a little ways above us to take the photo. He had this adorable wink on his face while I stuck my tongue out holding up a peace sign.

I smiled a little at the memory. No matter how much I try I can never bring myself to delete this picture or any of the pictures I have with him for that matter. This was one of the best times I spent with Adrien.

"Say Cheese." Adrien said as he winked at me in the camera screen. Instead of doing what he said I stuck my tongue out and he took the picture. "I thought I told you to say 'cheese'"

I shrugged laughing while he just threw a piece of popcorn at me.

"So what do you feel like watching?" I asked picking up the remote.
