Chapter 11

Marinette groaned when her alarm woke her up. She forced herself to sit up though. She looked at the clock and forced herself upright. Not bothering to get dressed she headed downstairs and started the coffee. Then she got the oven warmed up. She immediately got to work preparing the macarons for Josh. Once they were in the oven she started another batch. While she waited she poured her first cup of coffee and sipped it. By the time 345 rolled up she had the macarons ready in a box and was hurrying to get dressed. She was out the door ten minutes later to meet Josh for the delivery. He smiled at the box she handed him .

"They are still warm" he grinned, as he popped one in his mouth.

"Anything for my favorite cousin," Marinette teased as someone knocked on the door. "I wonder who that is," she said surprised, as she headed to answer the door. She pulled it open, surprised to see Luka. "Hey, what are you doing here so early in the morning?"

"I was in the area and remembered you said that you had an early morning delivery"

"Is this the famous Luka?" Josh smirked. "You were absolutely right, he is sexy as sin. Nothing compared to my Alexander but still sexy"

"Josh!" Marinette exclaimed hitting him

"Luka this is my cousin Josh, Josh my friend Luka"

"Nice to meet you," Luka said, surprised by how the word friend made him cringe internally

"So pretty boy what brings you by before the sun is up"

"Marinette mentioned she had an early delivery today and I figured I would stop by and see if she needed any help" Luka said

"Mari dear you should keep this one close he is absolutely perfect"

"This, coming from the man saving my life this week," Marinette smiled. Josh turned beet red and attempted to shush her.

"You dear cousin are a handful" he teased her before turning to Luka, "you should remember that"

"I am pretty sure I got that memo" Luka smiled

"Now pretty boy you said you came to help that is great I have a catwalk to unload and would love the help" Josh grinned

"Well let's get to it" Luka smiled

Marinette smiled from the sidelines as she watched them bring in the parts. She directed them on where it needed to be put, informing them that the company was sending someone Monday to set it up. It took almost two hours to get all the boxes in. Marinette smiled from the sidelines. They wouldn't let her help. After the last box was in, Marinette thanked Josh. With a smirk and his macarons he took off. Marinette smiled as she looked at Luka leaning against the counter. She walked up standing in front of him. He smiled at her.

"Thank you for coming to help," Marinette smiled trying to resist the temptation to kiss him. He smirked almost as though he could read her mind.

"I missed you" he said,

"Yeah?" she asked

"Yes" he said pulling her close

"I missed you to" she said looking up "alot"

"Yeah" he smirked

"Yes," She smiled, "I fell asleep thinking about that kiss"

"Really," he said gulping

"Yes," Marinette said, biting her lip. She watched Luka swallow hard and it made her smile. "Made me want more though"

"You are going to be the death of me woman" he groaned pulling her against him

"But what a way to go," she smirked. He growled before claiming her lips. She moaned as he deepened the kiss. When he pulled away they were both breathless.

"Fuck you taste sweet" he said as his forehead touched hers. He smiled happily. "Okay what do you have planned for today"

"Coffee and then I am all yours" she smiled, "at least till 5 when your sister and her girlfriend have claimed me"

"What are you doing with them?"

"Touch ups and then movies"

"Maybe I will crash the party" he smirked

"I think that can be arranged," Marinette smiled, "so can we be serious for a minute?"

"I don't know" he teased, "well maybe for a minute"

"Luka," she smiled, "is this going somewhere or not?"

"Definitely going somewhere"

"And you are all straight in your head now?"

"Not at all but I am enjoying the ride" he answered

"Okay" she said quickly, grabbing his face and kissing him. He groaned as he deepened the kiss

"Okay we have to stop doing that if you want coffee" he groaned

"Okay," she smiled kissing him again

"Darling I love you but we have to stop"

"But why?" she groaned

"Because we are going across the street to get coffee and breakfast and then we are going to walk through the park for a bit before we go ice skating" he smiled

"Ice skating huh" Marinette smiled

"Yes" he smiled taking a step back

"Alright" she pouted. He chuckled, leaning down to kiss her cheek before sending her to gather her stuff. A little bit later they walked into the cafe. Luka sent her off to get a table and with a kiss she was off to do just that. She grabbed their normal table and sat down. He watched from the line as she pulled out her phone. He saw her look of frustration and chuckled when he realized that their plans were probably going to change. He put in their order and waited for it. When he got back to the table she was practically growling into the phone. He set her coffee in front of her, getting her attention. She looked and he gestured to the phone. She put it on speaker and he could hear Jordan going on a tangent about something. He looked at her in surprise. She shrugged.

"Good morning Jordan" Luka said seconds later the voice went silent

"Wait Luka" Ro said, "the two of you are together at 7am...Marinette did you even get home last night"

"Do you really want an answer" Luka teased

"Luka" she giggled, "Yes, Jordan I made it home safe and sound. However I noticed when I left this morning that you had not arrived home yet"

"I was too home" he attempted

"If you say so. For the record I was up at 3 to make the macarons for Josh. Luka showed up at 430 to help"

"Really now" Ro teased

"Yes really and that's why he gets my company all day"

"You are no fun," Ro said, "now are you absolutely sure I cannot sweet talk or blackmail you?"

"Yeah sorry tell your girlfriend maybe next time. Luka and I have plans"

"Luka, any chance of changing your plans to join us?" Luka looked up at Marinette shaking her head and sending very clear signals to say no. Luka just laughed.

"Sorry not this time. Marinette might kill me if I change the plan now" Luka laughed, "maybe next time"

"I hate you both" Jordan said hanging up

"Okay what was up with that?" Luka laughed,

"Chloe wants to go shopping" Marinette said, "I am guessing that Ro stayed the night there since he sounded half asleep when Chloe called me from his phone"

"Why his phone"

"To prove a point" Marinette laughed, "and to make sure he knows I know she has claimed him"

"What" Luka said confused

"It is a Chloe thing" Marinette shrugged, "it may have also been her way of letting me know that he is safe"

"Huh" he said surprised, "so Chloe and Jordan are together"

"Oh yes" Marinette laughed, "and at some point I am going to actually have to spend time with them to make sure she knows I am okay with it"

"Why wouldn't you?"

"Because he is my best friend and Chloe requires a lot of attention" Marinette laughed, "she knows that she is going to taking all his attention and wants to make sure it's okay"

"And are you okay with it?"

"Yes" Marinette said, "as long as he is happy it is perfectly fine. Besides, I am happy they are getting along so well. It gives me more time with you"

"I do like the sound of that" he smiled taking her hand in his, "we should stop by and grab your sketchbook and my guitar and head to our spot"

"That sounds perfect," Marinette smiled, squeezing his hand.

"But first let's eat," he said. She smiled and they dug into the food. They talked softly as they ate. A while later they headed out. After a quick stop at the bakery and the boathouse they were walking hand in hand towards their favorite spot. They stopped every once in a while to share a quick kiss. When they reached their spot Marinette set out a blanket and sat down. Luka gently pulled the guitar out and started playing random melodies, while Marinette sketched. They would occasionally talk but for the most part just relaxed and let their creative thoughts go.
