Denial

Adrien POV

Just mere seconds after I return home I detransform. A grabbed a piece of cheese from my emergency stash and toss it over to Plagg who begins to devour it.

"How bout a little warning next time before you transform." I hear him scold, but I pay no attention to it.

Why the hell did I do that? I'm such an idiot. I almost KISSED Marinette!

My face feels hot and for a second I think I might be coming down with a fever.

My phone buzzes and I look to see that Marinette texted me back asking me to send her a ride.

I send the message to my chauffer and toss my phone over on the bed.

The very thought of her is making me dizzy. I feel like I'm going to faint.

I sit down at my chair near the monitors and put my face in my hands.

God this is fucking torture!

"You seem to be thinking really hard over there." Plagg said nonchalantly still munching on his cheese.

I groaned " If your not gonna offer any words of advice then just leave me alone."

"Hey I'm just saying that your stressing over nothing." He retorted while gulping the rest of his cheese.

"Really? Please explain oh wise kwami of mine." I said with obvious sarcasm.

"Can't tell you. I just wanted to say that your stressing is unnecessary." Plagg then flew over to my bed. Most likely to take a nap.

I groan again. Sometimes I feel like Plagg never really gives a damn.

Anyway back to the problem at hand. So I almost kissed Marinette as Chat Noir. What does that mean?

Marinette has always been a sweet girl who has now become a beautiful woman. Maybe I just got lost in the moment. Yeah...that's it.

I mean she did look great tonight. I'm sure its nothing more than sudden attraction.

I love Ladybug, only Ladybug.

There's a knock on the door, I check to see Plagg no where in sight and yell for them to come in.

Marinette slowly opens the door peaking her head "Knock Knock." She says with a smile and enters the room.

She's still wearing her dress, that by now I'm starting to hate. The dress she wore on her date, the dress she wore when I almost kissed her, the damn dress that keeps distracting him from actually listening to what she was saying right now.

"Adrien? Adrien!" Her voice snaps me out of my thoughts once again.

"Oh uh..I'm sorry Marinette. What was that?"

"I wanted to Thank you for letting Mr borrow your chauffer tonight so I didn't have to walk." She smiles at me again.

My heart beats faster. "Oh..y..yeah..I mean your welcome."

She giggles and I'm afraid my hearts going to burst from my chest any minute now.

"Um..Adrien?"

"Yeah?"

"I haven't...exactly been honest with you...about tonight." She finally admits.

"Oh?" I have to pretend I don't know what she's talking about. Adrien wasn't the one who was practically stalking her tonight it was Chat.

"Yeah...I guess I was just embarrassed." She continued and twirled the end of her hair in a nervous but adorable gesture she always does. "Alya talked me into doing this online dating thing a little while ago and I finally had the courage to actually go for it." She ends with a laugh.

"So..." I started. "You were on a date with some guy you met online." It wasn't really a question considering I knew the answer, but was more of a statement.

"Yeah..."

"Is that why you've been ignoring me? Cause you were embarrassed?"

"N...No!" She shouted which threw me off a bit. "I mean no..I didn't mean to ignore you if that's the impression you got. I've... just been going through something lately..."

"Oh..." Judging by her tone. She's not going to tell me. Would she tell Chat though? Then again after that stunt he pulled tonight, maybe not.

"I'm better now though!" She exclaims happily. That's when I notice she seemed to be in a much cherry mood now.

Something about that urks me. Is she happy cause she went on a date with that Michael guy? I don't get it.

"Well I know its late and judging by that look in your eyes you must be tired." She touches my cheek. "Your not yourself when your tired."

I feel a small smile on my face. "Seriously?" I said. "The snickers commercial?"

She laughs and I can't help but join in.

"There it is." Marinette says cupping my face. "There's that smile, I've been missing."

I blink down at her and I'm worried about whether or not she can feel the heat crawling on my cheeks.

Her sapphire eyes sparkle every time she smiles and I can't help but smile back myself.

I can't deny how amazing this girl is, but Im definitely not in love...right?

...Or am I just in denial right now?
