The new miraculous guardian

15. Oblivious and Obnoxious

Listen to "Elle menait la dance" by Squeezie

I mean having more people to talk to is pretty cool.

"What? YOU want company?" Say Chloé with a little bit of sarcasm.

"Yeaaah. Look we're pretty much reject and so are you so come site with us instead of standing in the entry."

Her and Sabrina look at each other again. " I promise you, I don't bite and I never lie." She look at me suspiciously.

"Oh yeah? Then why are you here alone?" I look at her right in the eyes.
She site down and put her head in her hands.

"'Cause there are all kind of bitches in this world..." I respond while siping on my jus box.

"Right... then let me ask you a question... What was so important in your journal...?"

There is a pregnant silence that last at least two minutes.

She was looking straight at me.

I was looking straight at her.

Like in the old cowboys movies.

"That's a secret..." I say calmly.

She laughs. "Yeah and there go the no lie thing"

Adrien and Sabrina stand silently beside both of us.

"If you want me to trust you, you'll need to tell me what was in that journal."

"Oh yeah? And what do I get in return? 'Cause your trust isn't even close to be enough. You'll need to give up your whole life to me." Her expression change. She look scared.

"What do you mean..?"

"What I mean is that you're not even ready to hear what I wrote inside..."

After that she look a little afraid.

"What I mean is that I need to know that I can trust you with my life. If not, you'll never know." I murmur to her.

"'Cause if someone other than me know... it's not just my life that's at risk, it's everyone around me that could perish."

I hear everyone else chatting about their day around us but at the table it's radio silence. It's as if the time stop.

Me looking at Chloé.

Chloé looking at me.

Probably Sabrina looking at Chloé.

And last but not the least...

Adrien staring with big eyes at me.

He say to me in a voice almost not audible, "What did you write Marinette?"

I look at him with a little panic that rising inside me.

Can I really tell him?

I mean what if he freaks out and decides I'm not good enough to be Ladybug?

What if I disappoint him?

What if he doesn't want me to be his partner anymore?

What if by telling him I mess up and the whole Car blanc thing start again?

This time will I be able to stop him from destroying everything?

I believe in him...

I want to believe in him!

But what if deep inside I can't fully trust him no matter what I do..?

"Marinette?" I click back to life.

I look at him right in the eyes. "Only you know what it's all about..."
I murmur with my voice shaking. I look down at his hand where the black cat ring site.

"...Adrien."
