Love Me Forever

Call

3 DAYS BEFORE THE GALA

"This dress is really coming together!" Alya said with a squeal as she looked at the dress Marinette was going to wear to the gala. "Are you and Adrien going to the gala together, like in the same car or something?"

"Yeah. We're going to go in the same limo." Marinette added something to the dress. "How does this look?"

"Good. No, great. No, amazing. M, this is awesome!" Alya beamed with pride at her best friends dress. "How should we do your hair?"

"I don't know. What do you think?" Marinette's phone started to ring. "Sorry."

Marinette walked into the office and took the call. She was on the call for 10 minutes and with each minute she felt like crying even more than the minute before. Calm down, Marinette! She told herself but she just couldn't. Eventually, she was going to blow.

Marinette walked into her office and started talking to Alya again like nothing happened. She laughed and joked around with Alya but she still remembered the words. Tikki noticed the change and went immediately to Adrien's office.

"It's happened again, Adrien. This time on a call." Tikki said exasperated and scared.

"We need to figure out what's wrong with her. What the letters and the people on the call are telling her. She just won't budge." Adrien looked at image on his desk.

It was an image of him and Marinette when they graduated from high school. She was in a beautiful pink dress with her hair pulled back into a braid and he was in a suit. They were dating by that time and had their arms around each other. She was laughing at something Alya had said, Alya was right next to the camera. They had gone to her parents' bakery with all of their friends and had a graduation party there. He touched the image before turning back to Tikki.

"I am going to propose to Marinette at the gala. Alya and Nino know, they are going too. Marinette doesn't know, though." Adrien said and Tikki lit up.

"Perfect! Maybe she will be all caught up in the moment after she said yes and she will tell you everything the letter and call said. She is really lucky to have you." Tikki smiled and Adrien just looked at the photo.

"No, I'm lucky to have her." Adrien smiled at Tikki and then went back to his work.
