Which ONE?

Chapter 26 Welcome Cousin!

MARINETTE'S POV
I can't believe she's back! I am hugging my cousin who had went to the U.S. We are the same age, yet I think she's is way more mature than me. She's been gone for three years. Before Alya, my best friend was my cousin. But,, she had to go to the U.S. to discover herself and decide whether or not to take part in the music industry.

"How has it been cousin?! I want to know everything that has happened in your life since I have been gone!"My cousin told me excitedly.

"I've missed you so much Bridgette! I have much to tell you about, but you also have to tell me about what's been up with you!"
We have been told that we seem like we should be twins. Her eyes are actually slightly darker than mine, and she usually had her hair in a bun, but right now, her hair is down.

"Okay, okay. Well, do you mind if I sleep over tonight? And, where are your parents? I wanted to greet you all at the same time."

"Oh, my parents went to get some groceries to restock for the bakery. Sunday is the best day to do that," I told Bridgette.

"Hmm that sounds true. Also, guess what! I have some exciting news!" Bridgette is the most outgoing person I have known. Unlike me, she is always happy. I don't think I have ever seen her with a sad face. A couple times I've seen her frustrated, but her face always rushed into a smile.

"What is it! Don't leave me hanging!"

"From tomorrow and on, we will be going to the same school!"

"No way! I can't wait to introduce you to Alya!"

"Ah, has she been my replacement while I have been gone?"

"Of course not! You and her are different. No one can ever replace the both of you."

"Aww, you're always as sweet as usual."

"Thanks. Anyway, are you hungry?" I asked Bridgette. She must be starving from after that long flight here.

"Yeah, I could actually go for some food. And we can talk all about what we have missed in each other's lives!"

"Definitely. And, I know a good place to eat." Hopefully it's not too awkward to eat at Nathaniel's uncle's restaurant. It was really good there, and I know Bridgette will enjoy it.

"Okay, let's go!"

"But, let's put your stuff in my room first so we don't have to do that after we are done eating."

Bridgette nodded in agreement. We went upstairs to my room each of us carrying one of her suitcases. She went in my room before me, so she was able to look around.

"Wow! I love your room," she said excitedly. Then, I see her go towards the wall that had a picture of Adrien. When I was trying to get over Adrien, I took his pictures down, but I actually left one up because of the design he had on. "Who's this?" She said with a smirk.

"T-that's Adrien. He's actually a model and he goes to my school. Oh, and his dad is a designer! Gabriel Agreste's designs are the best!" I tried to turn the conversation to talking about Adrien's dad. For a split second, I could have sworn I saw Bridgette look sad.

"D-did you say Agreste?" Bridgette asked nervously.

"Yeah, why?"

"Well, I'll tell you about it at the restaurant. Also, do you like him?"

"I'll tell you about that at the restaurant too," I told her.

"Then, lead the way! Let's go because I'm getting hungrier by the second!"

BRIDGETTE'S POV
Agreste... oh how I dread that last name. I still love the guy who had to leave America. I have been wondering where he went. The Agreste Marinette is talking about must not be the Agreste I know. I miss him so much, but I still had to focus on my way to be a singer and songwriter. 

"We are here!" Marinette said excitedly.  I looked up to see such a pretty restaurant.

"Wow! This place looks beautiful!" Marinette nodded in agreement and led me inside.

"Hello, Marinette! Glad to see you back here!" an old man approached her.

"Of course! When Nathaniel brought me here and I tried your food, I just had to come back with my cousin," Marinette said happily.

"H-hi my name is Bridgette. It's very nice to meet you," I said a bit nervously. I'm still not too good with meeting new people.

"No need to be formal. Just relax. Anyway, come this way. I got the perfect table for you girls." The old guy led the way to a table right next to a window with a beautiful view of the Eiffel Tower.

"Woah! This view is wonderful!" I said excitedly. The old man chuckled and nodded in agreement.

"Well here are the menus. I'll be back so you guys can order. Take as long as you need." The old guy left Marinette and I. We looked in the menu and everything looked delicious! I was finally able to pick. Marinette and I ordered our food and drinks. Now to wait.

"Okay, so Bridgette, I didn't know how to bring it up but I really need to ask. Why did you look kind of sad when I brought up the Agrestes?

"It's kinda a long story, but I'll make it as short as I can," I responded. She nodded.
Where to begin.
