--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Marinette couldn't stop thinking about what had happened two nights ago. She couldn't stop thinking about Chat's kisses on her neck or his hands on her waist and in her hair. It all happened so fast that by the time she had realized what was happening, it was over. 

"What am I going to do, Tikki?" Marinette groaned as she stuffed her laptop into her backpack. It was Sunday, and Marinette had agreed to go to Luka's house once more to work on the project. Her feelings were in such a tangled mess she barely knew what to think. 

"What's happened already happened Marinette," Tikki perched on Marinette's shoulder. "There's no use in worrying about it. All you can do is accept it and move on." 

Marinette stood and nodded, taking a deep breath. "You know what," she said. "You're right. I'm going to move on from what happened." 

With a newly strengthened resolve, Marinette marched into the living room where Alya and Nino were chatting with Adrien. 

"Hey guys," Marinette gave them a small wave. "I'm going over to Luka's to work on the project." 

"Sure," Alya smiled. "Don't have too much fun." 

"Alya!" Nino chided, although it was obvious he agreed with her, a smile so broad it nearly split his face. 

Adrien didn't say anything but simply looked away the second he and Marinette made eye contact, his face flushing as his eyes darted all around the room, looking at anything but her. Noticing his obvious discomfort, Alya gave Marinette a wink, which only confused Marinette even more.

It was apparent that Alya thought Adrien was jealous about her going to Luka's, but Marinette wasn't so sure. To her, he seemed...embarrassed? She could've sworn she saw a flicker of shame in his eyes, but it wasn't like she could ask.

Marinette shrugged her bag onto her shoulder, curious about Adrien but not wanting to pry too hard. "Well," she said with uncertainty, "see you guys."

"I start the paper, and you do the slideshow?" Luka suggested as he and Marinette lounged around his small coffee table once more. 

"Sure," Marinette said, organizing her papers as Juleka and Rose walked in. "Hey, guys." 

"Hey," Juleka and Rose greeted, both sitting on the couch behind Luka and Marinette. They turned on the TV, and an all-too-familiar face and voice appeared, filling Marinette with dread. 

"Don't be bemused, it's just the news. I'm Nadjia Chamack, and new supervillain has just appeared and seems to be flooding the Louvre!" 

Marinette's heart sank as she watched the screen, transfixed with horror. Now, not only would she have to make up an excuse to leave Luka, she would have to see Chat for the first time since their breakup officially as Ladybug. The memory of their kiss two nights ago sent a tingle through Marinette's lips, who subconsciously brushed them with her fingers as she desperately tried to think of an excuse to go. 

Oblivious to Marinette's inner dilemma, Luka scooted closer to Marinette, blushing. "Hey," he whispered, "I wanted to ask—"

Marinette shot out of her seat, not even processing what Luka had said. "I forgot that Alya wanted me home by now!" Marinette said, her words coming out at a thousand miles an hour. Hurry hurry hurry, you have to hurry before all of Paris is flooded. "Sorry! She put something in the oven and she asked me to go back and take it out! I be right back!"
