I want you to be mine

Chapter 14: Chance at Happiness

Marinette spent her first day walking around the office exploring around, she had already made a little cozy hiding spot for Tikki to hang out in. After what seemed like 100 laps around the office and a days worth of calories burned there came a knock on the door.

She quickly ran and sat on her chair behind the desk pretending to play around with the papers. "Come in" a moment later the door opened, Adrien's head peeked in "hey, how are you doing?"

Marinette set down the papers and smiled at him beaming " great, honestly, I've sat the past hour admiring the office" Adrien stepped al in closing the door behind him "I'm glad you like it" he leaned against the desk arms crossed " I wanted to ask you if you have anything planned for tonight?"

Marinette got confused for a second and then blushed " no I have nothing special tonight, why?" Was he going to ask her on a date?

"I was on the phone with Alya and Nino and I told him about how you started here today so they invited us over to the club where Nino DJ's at every weekend to celebrate and enjoy the old times"

Marinette thought for a moment " but what about Hugo? I can't leave him" Adrien quickly jumped in " You can ask your parents I'm pretty sure they'd love to spend a weekend with him" he saw how hesitant she looked thinking about it "come on Marinette it'll be fun, this is the first time we will go out together in a long time"

"Okay but I'll have to ask my parents first they might be busy, just a moment while I call them" she pulled out her phone quickly dialling her parents number, not even a minute later Marinette had the full confirmation needed. Even though her phone Wasn't on speaker she was pretty sure Adrien heard her parents excited "of course" because instantly he smiled wildly giving her a look that said "see".

After her quick goodbye she turned to Adrien nodding "I'll take hugo to my parents house after school, that'll give me time to get ready"

"Perfect we will meet there at 7pm, I'll leave you be right now, I believe you'll need to go shortly to pick up Hugo." He opened the door giving her a wave and then leaving. Tikki zoomed out of her hiding spot giggling "I was thinking he would ask me out only me and him tonight"

"don't worry mari, Adrien has only been here for a month, and it's your first day you'll have many opportunities in the future" she smiled sitting on her owners opened hand. Marinette looked at the clock signalling that there was only 30 minutes left till she has to pick up Hugo, she picked up her car keys and settled tikki into her purse before walking out. She knew that she wasn't leaving forever but she really hoped for time to pass quickly for tomorrow.

Hugo was overly excited when she told him he'll get to spend his weekend at her parents house. He loved them, they always decorated and baked together. He even spent the whole car ride back home to pick up his essentials and to her parents saying "yay grandpa will finally let me frost the cake alone like he promised me last time!".

When she entered the bakery she was immediately greeted by her mom's welcoming smile. A minute later her dad joined them dusted in flour "where is my little star?" Hugo jumped into toms wide arms and into one of his tightest hugs.

Marinette pretend to turn away arms crossed and pouting "I thought I was your star dad?" Tom chuckled hugging her "sweet heart you know you're my only princess, but he'll always be my star" after asking about her day she stood up excusing herself "I have to leave now since I'll have to meet them there in two hours, call me if anything happens" tom carried Hugo into the kitchen on his shoulders while Sabine walked her daughter to the door.

"So Adrien will be there huh?" Her mom teased " moooom nino and alya will go as well"

Sabine smiled teasingly"I know but how are things going with him, I must say you control your crush way better than when you were a teen, remember posters, advertisement memorising, his schedu-"

"What are you trying to say mom?" Sabine looked at her daughter with soft eyes smiling " Marinette, I think this is a good chance for you to try your luck at love, you're an adult now it won't be a silly crush now, you might have a chance"

she patted her shoulders and continued "Then Hugo would finally get what he wants, a father" before marinette can talk her mother pushed her gently towards the door "have fun tonight, we will be fine, remember your days back in highschool and don't forget to tell me what happens"

Marinette hugged her once and then went into her car and towards her house. There were only 2 hours left and she still had lots to do. Her mom might be right, this is her chance.
