Sooooo sorry for the late update. I forgot yesterday was Wednesday and forgot to publish this 😞
This is another couple years later and my last chapter. Yay! 😁
Adriens Point of View
I gingerly turned the pages of my wife's sketchbook, admiring all of the stunning articles of clothing. My finger gently traced the lines as I took in the full beauty of each piece. Every line made sense, every pattern drew the eye. Everything was perfect. I was so lucky to have married one of the most successful fashion designers in the world.
"Adrien, honey, we need to go." I tore my eyes off of the stunning drawings at the sound of her gentle voice and looked at her, who was like a piece of art herself. I looked her up a down, taking in everything. Her long hair was pulled up over her shoulder and nicely curled, her face had traces of makeup that made her natural beauty stand out, and she was wearing one of her personally designed pieces, a gold dress that stopped mid-calf and had a small amount of glitter sprinkled over it making it look formal and easy on the eyes, with dangling gold earrings. Gorgeous. "Adrien?" I looked up and met her eyes then nodded, ready to go. I placed the book down then stood up, straightening my suit. We walked out of our house and got in the car before driving to one of the fanciest restaurants in Paris.
"It's so nice to see you guys!" I was taken aback by Mylene, who had thrown her arms around us and was squeezing us tightly. For such a short woman, she was strong. "It has been forever!"
Mari laughed beside me, "Yes it has." She wrapped her arms around Mylene too. "We should probably get started, sorry we're so late."
"No problem." I turned my head to see Chloe, my business partner, sitting already and patting the chair next to her. "I saved you guys seats!" I nodded gratefully and sat down with Marinette following gracefully.
I looked over as someone stood up. I recognized her immediately as Lila. I tried not to look at her in disgust, but I really hated her in high school. "Hello everyone, I'm so glad that we could all get together to do this. And thank you to Chloe, Adrien, and Sabrina, whose places in their own company dealing with international affairs and trade, or the biggest and most successful company in Paris, has gotten us into this wonderful restaurant." Light clapping spread throughout the table. "It is amazing to see how much we have all grown from the time when we were in high school. I know that I was terrible to you guys, especially you, Marinette, but would like to apologize and would also like you to know that I am now a lawyer, so I dedicate my life to finding and promoting the whole truth." More light applause followed her words and by looking around, I saw many people looking impressed. This time, we all knew she was telling the truth from billboards and posters advocating her company, some even having pictures?of her. I even heard her mentioned on the news once. "I know that a lot of you guys already know what each other does, some of you guys even work together, but can we go around and let everyone know what we are and what we've been doing these past few years?" Everyone's head bobbed in agreement, I was eager to see what had happened to the lot of us.
Directly to the right of Lila, Max stood up. "I've become an accountant for a housing company." He sat down immediately after that. Wow, that wasn't very exciting.
Next to him, Alix stood up. "I work with Kim at a sporting goods company." Has nobody done anything these past couple years?
Chloe was next, so I braced myself, preparing for the inevitability long speech ahead. "As you all know, Adrien, Sabrina, and I have started our own company which has become very successful. It has been doing good and by the looks of it, will continue well, and we hope to expand and put an HQ in America." Everyone clapped. "And you all remember my wedding to Nathanael," she gestured across the table to the redhead. "But what most of you probably don't know is that a couple months after that, we got divorced since we wanted different things in life. Since then, I have gotten into a serious relationship with Theo, who is a sculptor but couldn't be here tonight because of some deadline, but we are now engaged!" She flashed her hand out and all the women stood up and leaned in to admire her ring and congratulate her. Mari and I sat back, since I worked with her, we both already knew of her engagement, but I was next.
"Well, after high school I quit my modeling career and helped Chloe and Sabrina start up the company. And Marinette and I did get married." I put my hand on her shoulder as everyone clapped. "Sorry most of you didn't get invited, it was a small wedding and only family and some work friends came." Everyone looked like they understood.
Mari then stood. "I've become a fashion designer, and I can see that several of you guys are wearing my products, and you guys look great in them!" I glanced around and saw several suits and dresses that were sure to bear my wife's signature. She looked down at me and I knew immediately what she was going to say next. I reached my hand up and clasped hers tightly. "I would also like to announce that," she paused, looking around excitedly, "we are pregnant!" Everyone looked at her happily and most of the women ran over to her to hug and talk to her. I smiled. I was going to have a beautiful family.
Just when I thought thugs couldn't get any better, two more people came walking up to the table. I jumped up excitedly and quickly walked over to my best friend and gave him a quick and tight hug.
"What's up, buddy?" Nino said as he squeezed me back before we both let go.
I smiled. "I thought you guys couldn't make it!"
Alya smiled up at me with one arm still wrapped around my wife.
"We wouldn't miss it for the world."
