Feelings

44-Luka

I wake up to the smell of bacon and sausages. I rub my eyes, thinking about the evening before and the amazing time I had with Maddison.

"Good morning, sleeping beauty," Maddison sings.
"Morning," I mumble, yawning.
"Bacon and eggs for breakfast?" She asks.
"Ohhh, yes please. I am starving," I reply, realising that I haven't eaten anything for ages.

She nods as she turns back around to the stove. I turn away and look around. I didn't get to see the apartment last night, I was so tired that I practically passed out on the sofa. The walls are painted a pale green and there are pictures hanging up everywhere. There's a huge bookcase in the corner, completely full up. I glance to the other side of the room and there's a piano standing in the corner.

"You play piano?" I ask, sitting on the stool in front of the instrument.
"Yes, I've been playing my whole life," she replies, walking over and wiping her hands on her jeans.
"Play something for me," I smile.
"Okay. But what?" She says.
"Whatever you want," I shrug.
She thinks for a moment before her eyes light up.
"Play me the song that you were singing last night!" She squeaks.
"But I asked you to play something," I frown.
"I know, just play it!" She insists.
"Okay," I pick up my guitar and play the song.
She closes her eyes for a moment and mutters something to herself before turning to face the piano. She begins to play the introduction and I strum along.

"You are the music that's been playing in my head," we sing in unison. She has a really great voice. "You are the melody that's beating in my heart, I've loved you from the moment I met you, I've loved you from the very start." She improvises a little and I stop playing. I watch as her hands glide across the keys. I look up to her and her eyes are shut, she has a smile on her face and is humming a tune. She brings the song to an end and I stare in disbelief.

"You just made that song, like, one million times better," I laugh.
She scoffs and giggles. "I really didn't."
"Yes, you did. You're really talented!" I insist.
"Thankyou," she laughs.

We're disturbed by a ping from the kitchen.
"Breakfast is ready!" She shouts, shooting up from her seat.
I laugh and follow her into the kitchen. She hands me a plate with sausages, eggs, bacon, bread and mushrooms on it. My mouth waters at the sight of the food and I collapse into the chair and begin to eat straight away.

"Vis ish sho goop," I say through a mouthful of food.
"What?" Maddie giggles.
I chew quickly and swallow the food. "I said, this is so good,"
"Rigghhhht," she laughs. "You look like you're enjoying it."
I nod and shove some bacon into my mouth.

After breakfast, we sit on the sofa and switch on the TV. Maddison leans on my chest as we watch the news.

Last night, a woman was murdered at her home in London. Amalie Graham De Vanily was shot around 9pm last night when a man broke into her home, who was supposedly working with Gabriel Agreste who was recently revealed to be Paris' supervillain, Hawkmoth. Adrien Agreste, who was in the house at the time, managed to escape and was confronted with his father's assistant, Nathalie Sancoeur. The man who shot and killed Amalie, almost shot Adrien, but Ladybug, Paris' superhero, managed to save him. The police arrived on scene and arrested the murderer and Felix Graham De Vanily, who seemed to be working with them too.

I move Maddison off of my lap and I feel my hands shaking.

"What's wrong?" She asks.
"Adrien- he's my friend. And Ladybug, too," I reply.
"Oh- well atleast they're okay."
"Yeah, I should probably call them though, just to make sure they're okay."
She nods and hands me my phone. I firstly call Marinette.

"Mari?" I say.
"Luka, what's up?"
"I just saw the news! Are you okay?"
"Yes, we're safe. Adrien is with me and he's fine. He's traumatized though. He had a pretty rough nightmare which really shook him up."
"Poor guy. Well listen, I'm going to try and meet you later. I want to see you both."
"Yeah okay, call me later then."
"Will do."

I hang up and sigh. I'm relieved that she hasn't been hurt more than she already was. Maddison looks at me and smiles.

"All okay?" She asks.
"Yeah, they're fine. Thank goodness."
"Good," she smiles.
I stretch my arm up to scratch my head and catch a whiff of my smell. I cringe and make a gagging motion. Maddie just giggles.
"You can use the shower. I have some clothes that you could wear," she tells me.
"Thanks Maddie," I smile as she leads me to the bathroom.

I turn on the shower and the hot water hits me like a wave. I sigh as I run my hands through my messy hair. A lot has happened since I left home. When did life become so crazy? I don't think it was ever this insane before I met Mari. Not that I'm complaining about meeting her. I'm also really enjoying it in England. Not that I've had much time for sight-seeing or anything, but still. I shut off the water and step out the shower. There's a pile of clothes by the door. A button up shirt and some shorts. Not really my style but at least it's something to wear. I put them on and look in the mirror. I don't really look like myself but I don't actually look terrible. I open the door and meet Maddison in the kitchen. She has on her coat and shoes.

"C'mon, were going on a tour of London," she smiles.
"Really?" I ask.
"Yep, c'mon," she laughs as I slide my trainers on.

She grabs my hand and pulls me out the door.

"Where are we going?" I ask.
"Just wait and see...."
