A.N. Sorry guys for the long delay on this chapter. Life is crazy lately and after watching Truth I had to reassess a few things in later chapters. Not to mention drive my family and friends insane with my hysteria of that episode...anyway Enjoy the chapter and I hope you all have a great week
Chapter 24
The next morning Luka and Marinette waited for the final paperwork to be filed before she could leave. Adrien was sending a car for them. They talked quietly as they waited. When the doctor came in with a wheelchair Luka jumped to help Marinette into it. She rolled her eyes at him but let him help.
"You might have a keeper here Marinette," the doctor smiled
"He just has to ask," Marinette smiled as Luka blushed, "but considering we have only been dating a week it might have to wait"
"In that case you better keep him close," the doctor teased as he let them leave.
Marinette smiled when she saw the car waiting. Luka helped her into the car and a short time later they were at the Liberty and Luka was helping her inside. As soon as they were in his room he gently set her on the bed and laid down beside her. She smiled curling up to him, being careful of her shoulder.
"How do you feel about skipping school tomorrow and just spending the weekend here?" Luka asked, "we can postpone the surprise until you are feeling better,"
"I can double check but missing school shouldn't be an issue and we can definitely do our weekend away another time," Marinette smiled before grabbing her phone and messaging her teachers explaining her attack and requesting the next day off. She set the phone off to the side and snuggled back up to Luka. A little bit later her phone chimed with a reminder. Marinette read the reminder and swore.
"Shit," she groaned
"Everything okay?"
"Yeah," Marinette groaned, "I forgot about the meeting with Gabriel Agrest this evening,"
"Anyway you can not go or postpone it," he asked
"I will let you know in a minute," Marinette said texting Ally
MDC: Ally what time was that meeting today?
Ally: Five PM Text me when you are back from class and I will drop off that outfit
MDC: Not at school today. Home injured…
Ally: What do you mean Injured?
MDC: Dislocated shoulder...and some bumps, bruises, and cuts
Ally: WTH happened?
MDC: ummm I was kidnapped...by Luka's ex…and Rachel
Ally: ...Where do I send Rae
MDC: Police station
Ally: okay…
Ally: Are you okay to go or do you want to postpone?
Ally: I don't know what he wants...but if you are to injured it won't do any good to have you there
MDC:I am okay
MDC:I would rather not go but I am leery to leave it to Jordan and Rae they are both too…
Ally: No your right it can't be just the two of them You NEED to be there
Ally: His assistant says he won't postpone
MDC: Let me talk to Luka and I will let you know
Ally: I am on my way. You can tell me when I get there
MDC: Okay just holler when you arrive I will send Luka upstairs to get you
Ally: be there in 25
Luka smiled when he saw the frustration. He leaned over and kissed her.
"Don't worry I will arrange a car" he smiled
"Thanks rockstar" Marinette smiled leaning on him, "how about we move to the deck to meet Ally,"
"Sure you want to go on the deck and not cuddle on the couch?" he smirked
"I would rather cuddle right here" Marinette smiled, "however it would probably be better not to give that girl any more ammunition"
"Okay Darling," he smiled, "do you want me to bring your sketchbook? I am going to grab my guitar"
"Yes please," she smiled happily. He smiled standing up and picking her up. He carried her onto the deck sitting her on the sitting nook before going to grab their stuff. She settled in with a smile. He handed her the book and her pencils before settling down next to her with his guitar. They sat doing their thing until Ally's shout interrupted a while later.
"Over here" Marinette called out
"I brought the clothes," Ally smiled, before she saw them, "you are in a sling"
"Yep," Marinette said, "I have it for a couple weeks. Dislocated shoulder"
"Okay," Ally said frowning, "I may have to change things a bit hold on,"
Marintte smiled watching Ally dash back to the car. She came back carrying three more bags and a box.
"Okay can you hand over the sling?" Ally asked. Marrinette shrugged carefully, removing it and handing the grey sling to Ally. Ally looked around the deck with a frown.
"Rockstar why don't you show her to the living room or the bedroom," Marinette smiled
"Sure Darling," he smiled, kissing her cheek and showing Ally the two rooms. Ally decided to set up in the living room. Marinette and Luka went back to what they had been doing before her arrival. An hour later Ally came back up carrying the sling.
"Everything okay?" Marinette asked, seeing Ally's expression.
"None of the clothes work with the sling," Ally pouted, "I have a plan though"
"Okay what's the plan?"
"Do you remember when Rae shoved Roe out of the car in California?"
"Yeah he broke his arm," Marinette said
"Right and he had to wear that horrible bright yellow sling" Ally said, "so you made him one that was red?"
"Yeah," Marinette shrugged, "the pattern I used is in the studio,"
"Good," Ally smiled, "now excuse me as I go kidnap Jordan from school to make this happen"
"Sure" Marinette laughed as Ally dashed away.
"You want to stay here or go back to the bed," Luka smiled
"I am good here," Marinette smiled, going back to her sketchbook.
Luka smiled as he watched her sketch. He had set the guitar down and pulled her into his lap so he could watch her. The dress she was drawing was like nothing he had ever seen before and he was enchanted watching her. They sat like that for nearly an hour before his stomach growled. He offered to make something while she sketched. She moved off of him so he could do it. She stayed on the deck drawing her focus on the design.
"Time for lunch Darling," he smiled, taking the sketchbook away.
"Thanks rockstar," Marinette smiled, taking the plate he offered. Once they had finished eating he handed her back the sketchbook and went to wash the dishes. He had just finished when he heard the commotion on the deck and headed up to see what was going on. He almost turned around when he saw what was going on.
"Hey rockstar," Marinette said laughing as Ally and Jordan argued.
"What's up with that?" he asked, taking a seat next to her. She smiled and immediately leaned against him.
"I have no idea," Marinette shrugged, "they've been like that since they walked in"
"Should we break it up" he asked
"In a minute," Marinette said as she kissed him. They broke apart hearing a crash. Marinette looked up and groaned when she realized that Jordan was nowhere to be seen and Ally was smirking.
"Where's…" Luka asked
"Ally, did you seriously throw him off the boat?" Marinette interrupted
"Yes" Ally shrugged.
"And what possessed you to do that two hours before we walked into a meeting with Gabriel Agreste?"
"He is being an ass,"
"Ally," Marinette said calmly, "did you bring him clothing to wear?"
"No," she snorted, " why would I...fuck"
"Yeah," Marinette said, "Rockstar could you kindly fish him out and show him to a shower please"
"Sure darling," Luka said trying not to laugh, "I might have an old suit he can borrow if you need"
"The blue one?" Marinette asked
"Yeah," Luka said as he worked to pull Jordan out of the water. He led Jordan to his room and directed him to the shower. While Jordan was showering Luka dug in his closet and pulled out the suit for Jordan to try on.
Thirty minutes later Jordan was sitting on the deck grumbling about wearing a suit. Marinette had gone to shower and get ready. Luka and Ally were off to the side chatting while they waited. Luka's jaw dropped when Marinette walked onto the deck. She wore a layered black and teal punk looking sundress with teal ballet flats. She had her arm in a black sling accented with teal stones. She had let her hair flow freely and a black Celtic knot necklace wrapped around her neck with a teal guitar pick dangling from it.
"Holy shit" Jordan exclaimed excitedly when he saw her, "that is one hell of a statement"
"It is perfect," Ally said smugly
"It is perfect," Marinette smiled, "how the hell did you make it happen in three hours"
"I might have called a couple designers we interviewed and offered them a job if they got it done in time" Ally smirked
"Then I guess you better get them on the payroll" Marinette said
"Already done," Ally smirked, "they start Monday,"
"Good," Marinette smiled looking at Luka's shocked expression. She giggled walking over to him and gently put her hand under his chin making him snap his mouth closed, "hey Rockstar what do you think?"
"Fuck me," Luka said before stuttering as he realized what he said, "I mean...holy shit..you...I am just going to shut up now"
Ally watched it all with a smirk trying not to laugh...she failed. She was on the ground laughing. Jordan was snickering. Marinette blushed trying not to think about what he said...and Luka just grabbed her hiding his face in her neck. It was at that moment Anarka walked onto the boat.
"Luka, Marinette," she called out, grabbing their attention, "what is going on?"
"Long or short story," Luka asked not looking up
"Well considering my daughter in law is in a sling and oh my that dress is gorgeous," Anakara said getting distracted,
"It is gorgeous isn't it," Marinette said, pulling away from Luka and going over to show off the dress.
"I am assuming that sling is not part of the outfit though lass"
"No I dislocated my shoulder," Marinette said, "nothing serious probably only need the sling for a few days"
"That's good Lass" Ankara smiled giving her a hug, "now where did you get this dress it's absolutely amazing"
"I designed it of course," Marinette smiled, "and Ally got a couple of our new designers to have it ready for tonight"
"Are you and Luka doing something special?"
"No...well maybe after this meeting," Marinette smiled, "We are meeting with Gabriel Agreste tonight"
Luka, Ally, and Jordan watched in surprise as Marinette and Anarka walked off talking fashion.
"I don't understand how she does that" Ally said
"I swear she has magical powers or something," Jordan groaned, "I mean no offense Luka but your mom doesn't seem the type to care about fashion"
"It's Marinette," Luka smiled, "her passion is contagious it has always been like that"
"Rae should be here soon so we can leave," Ally said, going to collect the stuff she had left behind earlier. She loaded everything into her car. Thirty minutes later a limo pulled up beside the Liberty. Luka called for Marinette and she gracefully walked out carrying a bag. He swept her into a kiss and walked her to the limo. She kissed him again before getting in.
