The sun had made its peak through the balcony slider doors. Marinette nearly felt like her skull had split in half, which was likely a result of a hangover.

   She was faintly aware of the little black cat purring beside her, and she could certainly smell the sweet aroma of fresh bread.
    After living in a bakery for so long, Marinette found it the norm to wake up to such a smell.
  It was only in those brief moments of first consciousness when one woke up. She forgot who she was, where she was, or what had happened the night before.
   The sick feeling in her stomach only brewed deeper, and it was definitely not from the alcohol she had consumed the night before.

The blunette squeezed her eyes shut, burying her face into the pillows. Had it not been for the drink, Marinette would have been up all night.
    Her drunken mind at the time attempted to formulate many different apologies before her words stopped making sense, and everything she conjured ended up as garbled messes, such as placing a pair of underwear on an iPad.

"Shit..." Marinette breathed, slowly sitting up in the bed. She ran her hand through her hair, her head aching with each movement she made. She didn't know how she was going to face Adrien, but she knew for sure that he was incredibly pissed at her for the way she came onto him.

"O-Ow..." she whined, her eyes squeezing shut as the light from the sun had nearly burned her eyes. The black kitten beside her glanced up, her green eyes wide as she blepped.  The small mammal cocked her head to the side, watching as Marinette fell back into the bed.
  The blunette reached down to tug at her nightgown, covering her legs as she had never felt so small in her life. The kitten jumped off the bed, trotting out of the bedroom casually.

Marinette knew Adrien was awake - she could hear him shuffling down below her, and she wasn't sure if she was mentally ready to go down and apologize for what she tried to do the night before.
  Part of her thought it was better to pretend she was asleep for the whole day and wait it out until he had to be somewhere, but she knew that if she did that it would make it awkward for the next time they met.
   If she had planned to never speak to him after this was all over, she would be wasting the time she had with him now. Her heart squeezed in her chest and Marinette was almost sure she couldn't breathe. She swung her legs over the edge of the bed and rubbed her eyes.
  The female groaned, her head throbbing painfully. Marinette wasn't sure how she was going to do her shift at the bar later that night. She rolled her shoulders, carefully standing on her feet. She wasn't sure what Adrien's plans were for the day, but she had every intention to catch him before he left. Even if she was dreading it. It was the adult thing to do.

The blunette hesitantly ventured her way out of the master bedroom. Her chest felt painfully tight as she wandered into the hallway towards the staircase to the first floor. Her heart only began to thump wildly in her chest as she descended them.
   The noises down below only grew louder and louder with each step she took.
  Marinette tiptoed on to the last step. She poked her head out into the back hall towards the kitchen where she heard Adrien.
  The young woman pressed her lips together, her heart sinking to her ass the moment her eyes landed on the back of Adrien's head. The blonde model yawned, wearing a dark t shirt and jeans as he buttered a fresh bagel from the toaster oven. He lay the bagel between his lips as he sealed the butter back up and grabbed the knife to rinse it.
