The Wall Between Us

Chapter 11

Chapter 11

C'est fort quand je le vois

Je veux crier sur tout les toits

Notre amour qui nous tend les bras

Mais je sais que je ne dois pas

Ce n'est pas le moment

Il faut être patient

Être patient...

"I didn't know you were in love with Adrien," Marinette told Alba one day when they walked home from school.

"What makes you say that?" I asked rubbing my temples.

"The other day, I mean, Oni-Chan captured you along with all the people that Love Adrien," She explained fiddling with her fingers.

"I'm not in love with Adrien, but I do love him to death, just as much as I love you," I smiled at her before adding, "You must still love Adrien as well, Kagami almost got you too,"

"First of all, no she didn't, and second I do love Adrien, just not that way... Not anymore,"

"Are you sure about that?" I taunted her, massaging a particularly sore spot near my eyebrow,

"I guess he'll always be special to me. He was my first true love after all, but no, I'm not in love with him anymore," She affirmed, and I could see that she was being honest.

"Then why did you ask if I was in love with him? Are you jealous?" I taunted her again,

"I'm not jealous!" She squealed, making people around us turn their gaze in our direction. Noticing she was the center of attention, she shrugged and pulled me by the arm, urging me to keep walking,

"So, you were saying that you were jealous..." I motioned for her to continue, once we were far enough from the staring gazes of strangers,

"I'm not jealous, It's just... It's kind of weird to think of Adrien with someone else," She explained in a more relaxed tone,

"I understand, but if you don't want to be with him anymore, then you should get used to the idea of him being with someone else," I explained trying to hide a smirk. If only she knew...

"I guess..." She sighed with a hint of sadness in her eyes,

"I know it's hard, I mean you were obsessed with him for so long..."

"I wasn't obsessed with him!" She defended herself, but stopped talking when she saw my annoyed face,

"Hello Ma'am, quick question," I call a random passerby, much to Marinette's dismay, "Was Marinette obsessed with Adrien?"

"Yes," She answered without taking her gaze out of her cellphone,

"See? Even the extras know about it,"

"That doesn't prove anything," Marinette crossed her arms and looked away

"Do you want me to ask someone else? Hey Sir..."

"Ok fine!" She interrupted me, "Maybe I was a little bit obsessed with Adrien,"

"More like a lot!" Another passerby said, and I couldn't stop a complacent smile from appearing in my face,
