Hello everyone! Crazy Fangirl here with another chpater, this time we're getting Adrien! Thanks to all of you who reviewed, followed and favorited the story. It always puts a smile in my face!
In Adrien's defense, he was bored.
That month had been an easy month. Not many people had come during his shifts, the only ones being dull executives that were usually on their phones the whole time, so the boy couldn't establish a conversation with them. In conclusion, work was boring. And school, well school was too.
Now, don't misunderstand him. He loved school. The thrill of finally getting to study what he liked would always be there. But recently, it had become tedious. No essays, no homework, no presentations. The classes had been spent in reading the books and easy tests. Sure, many people would love to have that kind of student life. Not having the necessity to pull all-nighters, to stress about presentation, extension and quality of the actual content of the work was always comforting. But it was also boring.
So what if he had been a little excited when the girl came into the coffee shop? So what if he had gotten a little more excited when he got to see the tired expression of the girl's face? So what if he had gotten even more excited when a blush appeared on her cheeks once she looked at him? So what if the pun he had in his mind turned into a flirty pick up line? That didn't mean anything. He did it for the simple fact of cheer her up. She looked exhausted, so he thought that maybe a pun would encourage her to have a good day. He didn't do it to mess with her, nor because he thought she was really cute and actually hoped she would react in a good way, asking him out, to what he would he say yes and then they would get married and have lots of children. Of course it wasn't that. Because Adrien was a decent person, and decent people didn't think that of a pretty stranger with a beautiful name.
So once he gave her the coffee, he leaned on the counter, almost falling off, in hopes to see her reaction. And he didn't expect what he got.
She started walking towards the exit before stopping dead on her tracks. 'She saw it. Now let's see what she thinks'. She turned around, and Adrien pulled of one of his signature smirk. Once they finally locked gazes, a splash of confidence hit the boy and he winked at her. 'OH MY GOD, WHAT DID I JUST DO?!' he thought, but he kept his outside cool and relaxed. The girl, on the other side, did not. Her face became as red as a ladybug, and she quickly turned around and left the store.
He chuckled at her reaction, it was just so cute. But then a thought came to his mind. What if he had freaked her out? What if she thought he was weird? HAD HE RUINED HIS CHANCE WITH THE PRETTY GIRL? 'Stupid Adrien, you probably scared her. Now you're never going to be able to get the cat you wanted'
Needless to say he was surprised when he heard the name 'Marinette' at the work next day. Of course that he gasped in surprise, and quickly walked towards the counter where the bluenette slowly crawled towards one of the couches near the register. His coworker, Rose, looked at him, confused when he asked her to let him do Marinette's drink, but he only mouthed an "I'll explain you later"
Five minutes later, he handed the cup to his friend, who gave him a questioning look before calling the customer, who zombily grabbed her order and made her way to the exit.
"Adrien, dear, what the heck is going on?" the petite girl asked.
"You'll see in five, four, three, two, one" he counted, and as invoked, Marinette turned around, her eyes looking for him. The blond grinned at her, winking as the day before, and the girl's face turned a crimson red. 'Just like a ladybug' he thought. The boy chuckled at her reaction, receiving a glare from the girl, who unfortunately for her, couldn't hide the smile creeping on her face. He smiled back, before turning around to face a dumbfounded Rose.
"You want an explanation, don't you?" he questioned, earning a nod from the blonde. "Well, it all started yesterday…"
Later that afternoon, he got a text from Nino, his best friend, telling him he would be going out with Alya, and that she would most likely be staying at their apartment. "Sure. Just stay away from my room" he texted, teasingly, before putting his phone back in his pocket. He knew that Nino would stay in his limits, but it was always fun to annoy the DJ.
Once school finished, he walked towards the building. It wasn't that far, so he could get there by walking. Plus, it didn't rise suspicions. And he needed that. No one could know what happened in the place. Not yet, anyways. The boy stepped up the stairs and knocked on the door.
"Hello, Adrien"
The blond sighed. "Hello"
Ohh, what is Adrien doing? You'll see in future chapters!
Love you all!
