Kitty021: I finally finished the books picture. It was very time consuming considering it's this far into the story. Hope you enjoy the chapter. Tell what you think of the cover and chapter please. I appreciate all of the followers! ;)
"Alya," Marinette said talking into her phone, "I don't know what to do. I'm so nervous. What if I stutter and he hates me. Or I mess something up and his perfect blond hair gets ruined and we can't do the shoot and he will never speak to me again!" Marinette was hyperventilating now.
"Calm down Marinette, it will be fine. You haven't been stuttering as much as you use to. Besides, think about the good things that will come of it. Marinette I have to go, you need to get ready, Adrien will be there any minute. Remember, think of the good things. Bye" Alya hung up the phone.
"She's right, I'm not ready, got to hurry"
"Marinette," Sabine called, "Adrien is here to pick you up."
"What no no no, come on Tikki." Marinette said as the little kwami flew in her purse.
Marinette walked down stairs to see Adrien waving at her.
"Hi Marinette, are you ready to go?" Adrien asked
"Hi Adrien and um yes." Marinette replied walking forward
"Ok you two, I'll see you later" Sabine stated
Adrien and Marinette walked through the door of the bakery. Adrien opened the car door for Marinette and offered a hand to help her in.
"Thank you." Marinette said looking at her fingers.
"No problem." Adrien replied while sliding into the seat beside her. He carefully closed the door.
"Marinette, I wasn't really sure if you would agree to do the shoot with me." Adrien continued, looking at his hands.
Marinette looked up to meet his green eyes. "Why?"
Adrien scratched the back of his neck. "Well, it's just your not like the other girls. Your not obsessed with all the girly things or want to have people always take your photo."
"Is that a bad thing?" Marinette asked
"No, I like that your not like the other girls" Adrien smiled
Marinette looked away quickly. Did he realy just say that or am I dreaming?
The limo pulled up to where the shoot was taking place. The two teens emptied car and glanced at the woman standing before them.
"Hello, you must be Marinette. I am Caroline, the manager."
Caroline had still black hair and hazel colored eyes. She wore a lime green top with a long black skirt and to complete the outfit was a belt with colorful beading.
"Caroline, it's nice to meet you." Marinette replied.
"You too Marinette." Caroline gave a friendly smile." Oh and Adrien, your needed over there. Marinette, I'll show you to your dressing room and we'll get you ready."
"See you later Marinette." Adrien said while walking away.
"Bye," Marinette replied before following Caroline.
"Ok Marinette here is your dress, once you've changed, someone will be waiting to fix your hair" Caroline stated
Marinette took the dress, walked into the changing room and put the dress on. Once she had it on, she walked out searching for a mirror.
"No no no, you cannot see until you are finished" said a lady dressed in a brown dress.
"Um, if you don't mind me asking," Marinette started," who are you?"
"Sorry, I'm Lidia, the hair dresser. Come on then, sit down so we can fix your hair."
"Ok Lidia." Marinette said while taking a seat.
It took a few minutes but her hair was finished.
"Just one more thing," Lidia began. She placed the headband on Marinette's head, separating her hair from her bangs. "There," Lidia went on," You look perfect."
Marinette stood up being directed by Lidia towards a mirror.
Marinette stopped and gazed into the mirror as if it was a magnificent painting. A smile appeared on her face. "The dress, It's amazing and my hair, it's down."
"You are beautiful child." Lidia told Marinette
The dress Marinette was wearing was a light pink summer dress. The sleeves were short, only covering her shoulders. It had little white spots all over. It had a thin navy colored ribbon, similar to the flower's color on Marinette's headband. The ribbon was tied around Marinette's waist like a belt.
"Mr. Agrest made the ribbon special to match the flower on the headband." Caroline told Marinette as she peered in the room. "Come on then Marinette, we are ready for you."
Marinette walked to the exit following Caroline
"You'll do great Marinette," Lidia called from behind
You can do this Marinette, you've got it. She told herself
Adrien was dressed in dark blue jeans and a solid black T-shirt. He had on a green scarf with the Chat Noir headband on.
He was standing by a water fountain where the pictures would take place. He turned around and saw a girl in a pink, dotted dress with flowing curly hair.
"Marinette?" Adrien called.
He thought about how similar Marinette looked to Ladybug. Her hair, her blue eyes. How much easier it would be if Marinette was Ladybug but what where the chances of that.
"I like your scarf." Marinette stated
"Well, yours is more comfortable. Plus, I'm pretty keen on blue." He told her thinking of her's and Ladybug's eyes.
"I'm glad you like it." Marinette responded
" I've never seen you with your hair down." Adrien continued
"Is it a good different or a bad different?" Marinette asked
"I think your hair looks pretty down. I also think your hair up is nice." He said thinking of his Lady"
Marinette's cheeks turned the color of her dress.
"Are you two ready?" Caroline asked
"Yes," Adrien responded. "What about you Marinette, are you ready?"
Adrien saw fear in Marinette's eyes.
"I've never done this before. What if I do something wrong?" Marinette started
"It's ok to be nervous. I was at first, now look at me." He laughed a bit. "And if you mess up, I'll mess up with you."
Marinette smiled.
"Ok you two were starting" Caroline told them
Adrien whispered into Marinette's ears," besides, it would be cute if you messed up."
Marinette's cheeks once again lit up but this time as the camera flashed.
"That is perfect you two," Caroline yelled
"See, your fine," Adrien said while grabbing her hand, the camera still flashing.
