Hey you guys! I'm back again with the second thrilling installment of Red and Black. I am so proud of myself because I usually don't follow through with one shots and end up saying I'm putting it on eternal hold. But here it is!

Enjoy!

Adrien stood outside the Dupain-Cheng bakery, smiling. He had heard from his best friend, Nino, that this place had the best deserts for miles out of town. Now, he finally had time to check the place out. Zipping up his best coat, Adrien slowly opens the door, rushing into the warmth of the building.

Immediately, Adrien is overwhelmed with the smell of baked goods. The building was toasty warm, small and crowded, but it was a friendly environment. There were children running from corner to corner. There were adults laughing to each other in line while waiting to get their pastries, cakes, or cookies. There was a counter in the front with the door to the kitchen wide open, letting the delicious aroma of fresh desserts waft into the main entrance. But Adrien was most interested in the donuts. Nino had been bragging about them non-stop.

Adrien stood in line, waiting patiently. He had almost cleared through the line when his phone buzzed. Looking down he saw a text from Nino.

Nino: how r those D-C donuts tasting?

Smiling, Adrien replied.

Adrien: haven't tasted them yet bro, stil in line. will let u know asap

Adrien stuffed his phone in his pocket. Only one other person in front of him and he would be ordering. He couldn't wait. If Nino, the world's pickiest eater, told him that he Iiked them, the had to be good. Like, REALLY good. "Next please" said a voice as Adrien stepped up to the counter.

"Yes, um, I'd like the Dupain-Cheng Donuts Special." He said looking up. There was a girl there, maybe 14 years old. She had dark black hair and fair skin. And the bluest eyes he had ever seen. His 15 year old heart beat faster. Shoot, he thought. She is REALLY cute. Biting his tongue was all Adrien could do to keep from saying that aloud.

"Okay, your order will be ready in about 10 minutes!" Said the girl, blushing and smiling shyly as her coworker sent a sly look their way. What's she up to? He thought, walking away slowly. Sitting in the waiting area of the room, Adrien texted Nino again.

Adrien: hey dude. Help pls

Nino answered immediately

Nino: what is it dude. domuts 2 good for u? :)

Adrien: no man. The grl at the counter is supr cute.

Nino: sounds like someone has a crush! is Alya there? she has brown-orange hair

Adrien: ya she is. She gave me an evil crafting look earlier

Nino: that's fine man. hope u don't die of a crush! Or the dunuts

Adrien: bye nino

Nino: Se u man

"Donuts for 'A.A'?" Adrien snapped his head up. She just called his order. PLEASE be Alya instead of that super cute girl he thought pleadingly. He just didn't want to blurt out anything stupid like he usually did. He had no idea how to conceal feelings from girls, being homeschooled for most of his life and no mother since he was three.

"Here are your donuts sir. Have a great day!" said the girl. It was not Alya, it was super cute girl. Adrien did the only thing he could: he took the bag and gave her a tip.

The girl blushed as their fingers brushed and she looked away, her gaze set firmly on the counter. Alya said that she forgot the receipt, rushing over to stuff it in the bag. Adrien winked at the girl and practically ran out of the bakery, red faced and sweaty.

"Do you think I can drown myself in these delicious donuts and never wake up again?" Adrien asked Nino. He had called his best friend over to talk about the girl. Picking up the receipt, Adrien found something written on it in loopy, girly handwriting. Call me? It said and it listed a phone number.

He realized what the number was for. It was the girl's number! He quickly scrambled for his phone while Nino watched in amusement. "This is too easy." he whispered under his breath, smirking.

Adrien checked his receipt for the girls name. Luckily, the bottom said Cashier: Marinette Dupain-Cheng. Even her name is cute. He thought, as he dialed her number.

"Hello?" asked Marinette on the other side of the phone.

"Um,yes, hi. Is this Marinette Dupain-Cheng?" Adrien asked

"Yes. Who is this?"

"Oh it's Adrien, from earlier at the bakery."

Marinette squeaked on the other side and a girl's laughter was audible in the background. That must be Alya, Adrien thought. "Oh yeah! I gave you my number and you gave me mine. I mean you gave me yours! Hehe..., um,... uh yeah I remember."

Adrien's heart pounded once more. "I was wondering if you would like to go with me to the movies this weekend?"

Red face, Marinette could barely contain the excitement in her voice through the phone. "Yes! I mean, um, yeah I would be able to."

Nino was smiling ear to ear and Adrien could hear Alya cheering through the phone. "Okay, um, see you then."

Marnette answered. "See you Adrien."

Click!

Adrien flopped down on the bed and exhaled a breath he didn't know he was holding. He had a date. With the prettiest girl he had ever met. He was elated.

He made it through the week with only the memory of her face until Saturday at the movies. They both had only one word to describe their evening together.

Magical.

So what did you think. I hope you guys review because the only person who reviewed last time was UnicornFangirl07. I hope you all know that this super awesome person is the reason I even have a second one-shot in this series. High-fives to her and a virtual batch of cupcakes! Hope to write for you guys again soon.

Bye!
