She walked me inside. "Here, let me show you your room." I kind of liked the house. It was cute with pots of flowers that looked like she grew them. She walked me up the stairs and into the room.

~~present~~

It was a beautiful room. The house, everything was beautiful. But I needed to leave before I cursed them with bad luck. "You can go and set your stuff wherever you'd like." She said. I nodded and set my stuff in the bed.

"And, you don't have to but would you like to help me with dinner? Usually Adrien helps me but he's out with his friends." Adrien, so that's his name. I simply nodded. I followed her to the kitchen.

"Look, I've heard about your b-background but it's ok. Your safe this time." I looked to the side. She handed me a knife, "I hope you like chicken salad." I nodded, offering her a smile to show I had no grudge against her. But I couldn't talk to her. "Can you cut tomatoes? " she asked.

I nodded once again, she handed me the knife. I started cutting each piece when the door opened. It took me by surprise so I accidentally slit my finger, I didn't want to get blood everywhere so I tried to get her attention.

I cleared my throat, she looked at me and smiled, then I showed her my hand and her eyes widened. "Oh!" She looked at her hands that were filled with chicken juice and looked behind me, "A-adrien! Welcome home honey!"

"Can you get her a bandaid?" She asked. I looked at the boy behind me but only saw his back faced towards me since he had reached for a bandaid behind him. He looked back at me, my eyes widened. He was... Handsome?

I blushed and looked to the side. He grabbed my hand, making another layer of blush appear on my cheeks. "Your Marinette right?" He grabbed a towel and dabbed my cut with it clearing off all the blood. I nodded.

He placed the bandaid on my cut and smiled at me, I wanted to smile back but just couldn't. My heart raced, what's happening?! "Adrien wanna help with dinner?" Asked his mother.

"Sure. What do you need help with?" He asked. "Can you help Marinette with the tomatoes?" He nodded and smiled at me. I smiled awkwardly back. He chuckled and grabbed the knife.

He grabbed my hand and put it on the knife, placing his hand over mine he helped me cut. I was blushing the whole time for who knows what?

"Good job guys!" Said Emily. I smiled at her, she set 3 plates of salad on the table. I looked at my plate of food. What if I diseased their plates? I wasn't hungry anyways.

"So Marinette, what do you like to do on your freetime?" Emily asked. Oh no! I couldn't be rude! I cleared my throat. Maybe one word wouldn't hurt. "S-swim." I answered. She looked surprised, she did just hear me talk for the first time after all.

"Well great! Adrien loves to swim and surf! The beach is around here maybe you guys should go!" I nodded, a slight blush covering my cheeks.

"Yeah I'd love to." Adrien said, he smiled at me which made my heart flutter. I felt Butterflies in my stomach. What is this? I looked at Emily. Before she could say anything I said, "Shower?" I asked.

She looked confused. "Wanna take a shower? Sure! Adrien go show her around I have to leave for work soon anyways." He nodded and motioned me to follow him. I walked behind him, he opened a door that led to a beautiful bathroom.

"T-thanks." I said. "No problem! After your done with your shower I'll show you around ok?" I forced a smile and nodded. He closed the door leaving me alone in the bathroom. I blushed, your so stupid! He probably thinks your weird!

I sighed and turned on the shower. I felt the water to make sure it was warm. I slipped off my clothes and hopped in, letting the water wash all my worries away.
