Chapter 3

The bright sunlight filtered into the room-illuminating the sleeping forms of Marinette and Adrien. Marinette lightly stirred, and the motion roused Adrien. He looked into the bluebell eyes of his beloved, and said, "Morning, my purr-incess. Sleep well?"

Marinette sat up, so that se was straddling his waist, and replied, "Very well, mon minnou. And you?"

Adrien said, "Best sleep I've had in a long time. But we've got a big day ahead of us."

Marinette nodded, then got out of bed and grabbed some things from a bag. She then said, "I'm heading for the shower."

Adrien replied, "Enjoy yourself." After 10 minutes, Marinette came out of the shower, and said, "It's all yours, Chaton."

Adrien said, "Thanks, milady."

While Adrien enjoyed his shower, Marinette lightly rapped on the adjoining door that separated the room she and Adrien were sharing with the room of their best friends Alya and Nino. After a few moments, the door opened to reveal Alya, still wearing her sleepwear.

"Morning, Alya!" Marinette exclaimed.

"Morning, girl…" Alya replied.

Marinette looked at Alya, and said, "Hey, Alya…do you know you have Nino's glasses on?"

Alya's eyes opened wide- and she said, "What? Hold on…" She returned to the room, and came back with her glasses, and a sheepish look on her face.

Marinette said, "Well, I hope you two didn't expend your energy last night and are too tired to sightsee."

Alya replied, "No way, girl! Let me get Mr. Sleepybones up, and we'll get ready. But to be honest…I thought you two wouldn't have the energy…"

Marinette blushed, and lightly pushed Alya's shoulder, and both girls laughed. The bathroom door opening caught Marinette's attention, and she nodded to Alya. Alya returned the nod and went back into her room.

Marinette then came up to Adrien and sat in his lap. They shared a light kiss, and Marinette asked, "What are we doing today?"

Adrien replied, "Well, I think we'll have breakfast on the street first. Then, we'll tour a couple of museums- the Museum of Costume and Lace, as well as the Jazz Station, which I think Nino will like. Afterwards, we'll head to Antwerp-there are a couple of places we'll check out there. Then we'll come back here for dinner."

Marinette replied, "Sounds like you've got us a fun day planned!"

Adrien replied, "Indeed."

It was about 30 minutes later when the group headed out. After grabbing breakfast, they went to the Museum of Costume and Lace. Marinette's eyes grew big as they toured the museum, which housed collections of ancient lace, as well as examples of modern and contemporary fashion. And despite not having any interest in fashion themselves, Alya and Nino enjoyed the tour.

After touring this museum, they headed to the Jazz Station. Poor Alya was dragged through the museum as Nino wanted to listen to every single piece of music. Marinette and Adrien, who enjoyed music but not as much as Nino, followed along, looking at the various albums and records. They lefy the museum, completely satisfied with the sights they saw.

They decided to have lunch next, so they grabbed sausage-and-fry sandwiches from a small café. After their meal, they returned to the hotel for the SUV and got on the road for a short trip to Antwerp. When they arrived, Adrien stated, "This city is one of Europe's largest diamond markets. And because of that, there are several jewelers in the city. So that's we're headed now."

At that, Alya said, "Diamonds and jewelry? Sounds like someone has something planned…"

Adrien chuckled, and saw that Marinette's cheeks were rosy. He then said, "Well, here's our first stop!"

So the group began a shopping excursion- they hadn't planned to buy anything, but the shop owners were more than helpful-especially for young model Adrien. As the girls went off to look at something, Nino called out got Adrien's attention.

Adrien walked to Nino, and said, "What's up, dude?"

Nino held up a beautiful gold ring that had several small diamonds inlaid in it. Nino said, "This ring's perfect!"

Adrien said, "Oh? You planning on proposing?"

Nino replied, "Not today, bro. But I know Alya's gonna love this…I just can't get it today, as well. What about you? See something in there for Marinette?"

Adrien replied, "Maybe…"

They left the jewelers and headed for the Antwerp Zoo-one of the oldest in Europe. They enjoyed watching the animals, and even got a chance to feed the aquatic animals. It was now approaching early evening, so the group decided to return to their hotel in Brussels. Adrien allowed Nino to drive, with Alya seated next to him, so Marinette and he could sit in the back. Marinette held out her hand, and Adrien placed his hand in hers.

When they returned to their hotel, they changed and went out for dinner, just like the previous day. They enjoyed the same meal of carbonnade and mussels with fries and sampled some Belgian chocolate that they took back to the hotel for later. They then, as a group, spent the evening walking around town admiring the architecture.

They returned to the hotel and prepared for bed. Marinette said, "I could use a nice hot bath."

Adrien replied, "Go ahead."

Marinette-summoning a new reserve of courage-returned, "And I could use some company…it gets really lonely in there…"

Adrien said, "Well, then…lead on, my lady." Adrien entered the bathroom, where Marinette had already gotten in the tub. She said, "Go ahead…I won't peek."

Adrien removed his clothes and got into the tub. He sighed in pleasure as the warm water eased the tension in his body. Marinette switched position in the tub so that she was leaning against Adrien's chest. Adrien wrapped his arms around Marinette's waist, eliciting a soft moan from her. He then began to kiss her neck, causing her to moan louder.

Through her moans, she said, "Mon minnou…how do you expect to get clean…if we're getting dirty?"

Adrien replied, "I thought my Lady would find a way…" He continued to kiss her neck, and then she stood up and turned do that she was facing Adrien. She then began kissing Adrien with as much passion as he was kissing her. They continued, enveloped in their love and passion-until Marinette said, "Chaton-we can't spend all night in the bathtub."

Adrien said, "Of course milady. After you…"

Marinette, in one motion, stood up and grabbed a towel. She began to dry her body off and wrapped the towel around herself. She then grabbed another towel and threw it at Adrien. She said, "I'll be waiting for you…"

Adrien got out the tub and dried himself off also. He wrapped the towel around his waist and made his way to the bed. He grabbed some things from his bag and went behind a changing screen. He came out wearing a pair of sweatpants. He saw Marinette was reading a magazine-but she had changed as well-wearing just a t-shirt.

Adrien took her hand and led her to the bed. He then said, "Shall we retire, my lady?"

Marinette replied, "Let's, Chaton." With that, Adrien pulled the cover back, and got inti bed. Marinette followed, laying on top of Adrien and wrapping her arms around Adrien. Adrien wrapped his arms around Marinette, and soon they both fell into a blissful slumber…
