friends or not..?

anger..

Adrien POV

I can still feel the sting from her slap across my face as she glares daggers at me. I look around and noticed a few bystanders watching the display.

"Marinette please, can we go somewhere private and discuss-"

"Explain this to me, because I'm REALLY trying to understand." She says. "Since you can't have sex with me you go off and screw with her instead?!"

Wait...what?

"Marinette, I promise you it's not what it looked liked at all." I tried to explain.

"Oh really now? Then what was it Adrien? Enlighten me!"

I sighed rubbing the back of my head as I tried to explain. "I..needed some advice on something..."

"About what?"

"About...us."

"Us? I thought 'us' was supposed to be a secret and if that wasn't bad enough already you decided to go to Chloe of all people?"

"She's my friend...look Marinette, I had no idea that Chloe was going to do that at all, I only see her as a friend and nothing more."

"Well from where I'm standing she seems to want to be a little more than 'How friends.'" She spat out.

I've seen Marinette get mad before, but I don't think I've ever seen her this angry. She seemed downright pissed and I feel like it's going to take a whole lot more to calm her down.

"I just...I can't believe you!" She shouted, "I asked for a little time to myself and you just couldn't wait a few days could you? You couldn't wait to figure out why the girl who's been sucking you off the pass few months, won't do it anymore huh?!"

What the hell is she talking about? Does she really think that's how I feel?

My own anger began to surface and I said something I really wish I hadn't.

"If that's how you feel then maybe you should've just kept your legs close from the start! You ever think about that?!"

As soon as I said it I instantly regretted it, and I felt the slap coming, but that would have been to kind.

She punched me square in the stomach.

I heaved forward dropping to my knees bending over holding my stomach in pain. Looking up i noticed she was still glaring at me, but this time there were tears shedding from her eyes.

Marinette opened her mouth to say something else but covered her mouth choking a sob. Turning away from me she ran down the sidewalk and around the corner away from my sight.

I looked around, noticing a couple of photographers across the street.

Great...As if I didn't have enough problems already...

I'm finally able to get up once the pain dulls down.

I head back inside the hotel frustrated, part of me wants to go after Marinette, but I think it's better if I left her alone right now and try again later.
