Luka Loves Marinette Sequel to A Miraculous Valentine's Love by Summer Cheng

Chapter 2 Huge Break Through?

       Marinette continues to tickle Luka.  He continues to call out, "Merci, Marinette!  Merci!"  

      "Oh, and just why should I silly boy?"  Marinette remarks with a twinkle in her eyes.

     "Marinette, what if you feel like you do not need me anymore?"  Luka asks sadly.  He looks away as he speaks.

     "L-Luka, are you alright?"  She looks at him with worry in her eyes.

      "Marinette, just answer me!  Tell me the truth, what happens when you do not need me anymore?" 

      "Luka, you are my best friend!  So, why spoil everything?"  

      Luka looks at her. He blushes.  He feels like he can hardly breathe.  He thinks, Marinette why do I fall harder for you every day?   

       "Whoa, your face is red!  You look like a cherry!"  Marinette giggles.

      " A cherry, huh?  I thought you hated cherries."  Luka sulks.

      "Oh, get real! " She shoves him in a teasing manner.

     "Y-Yeah, it is been great, but I have to go,"  He tells her.

       "Why?  You only got here a few minutes ago! "  Marinette whines.

      "Okay, fine I will stay!"  Luka says.

      "Great!"  Marinette says.

      Marinette gets out the broom and sweeps up the broken door fragments.  She feels a touch behind her, and screams,  "Ah!  Let go of me, Luka!"  

       "Marinette, do you love anyone?"  He slowly lets go of her.

      "I honestly do not know,"  Marinette replies with a shrug.

      Luka smiles. He thinks, well, she used to say she was in love with Adrien. Does this mean she will give me a chance, after all?  He shrugs his shoulders and thinks, who am I kidding, here?  She is my best friend.

       "Wipe that smirk off your face, Luka!" 

     "Oh, and why should I?"  Luka says.

       "It is kinda creepy,"  Marinette answers.

      "S-sorry, M-Marinette!"  Luka mutters.  He thinks, great now she will think I am crazy.

           Marinette fixes a pizza.  She preheats the oven and waits for the correct temperature.   

        Luka smiles and watches her as she hums.  He thinks, man, I have it bad for her!  He blushes.

     "Wow, that is a huge pizza for just one person!"  Luka remarks.

      "You are right, it is!" 

      "How about you stay and eat it with me?"  Marinette suggests.

      "S-sure, beauty, I m-mean, sure Marinette!" 

      "Good, it will be nice to share the pizza with my best friend!" 

          A few minutes later, the pizza is done, so Marinette pulls it out of the oven.  She yelps in pain when she burns her arm.  Luka sees and feels sorry for her.  He helps her set the pizza gently down on the trivet. 

 "Let me see, Marinette!"  Luka says.  

"No!"  She feels her eyes water as she winces at the pain. 

   "Fine, you leave me with no choice then!"  Luka says.  He picks her up, carries her over to the sink, turns the water on, and pushes her sleeve up.  He sees her burnt area on her arm and runs water over it.
