a/n: yesterday's chapter was by far my favorite AND longest ever with a record amount of 2651 WORDS (14020 CHARACTERS), i am extremely proud of that one as that was over 2 DAYS WORTH of planning, drafting, redrafting, editing AND finally writing up the product, seems like you all enjoyed reading that as much as i enjoyed writing is judging by the messages, comments and votes you all left for me.
we are officially HALFWAY through this book which is exciting yet sad at the same time as i've enjoyed every minute of writing this but… we still have the other 2 books to write in the series AND my other fic 'Lost In Shanghai' (which is almost finished ALREADY, i thought it would last longer than this but oh well….) as well as 2 other ones coming in 2022 (yes i literally have a whole SCHEDULE of fanfics and books to write for at least until march/april 2022, including the other two books in my series 'where love and lust collide' i know i'm insane and i need therapy…)
my book is also available to view on , i published it literally 5 days ago and its already gotten over 600 VIEWS- LITERALLY INSANE ILY TO PIECES!
anyways... lets get on with this chapter (fluff chapter… again, im deciding to be nice and i've added a little surprise adrienette baking scene… with fluff ofc… you can literally never escape fluff in this book…)
Adrien's POV:
I walked out of my mansion, speechless at what Marinette had just done, I honestly never would've thought she would stand up to my father like that. I mean I've watched her convince him many times before but never like this… she never flew into a rage like this just to protect me from the wrath of my father and his punishments. Marinette rushed up to me and we both began walking to her house, hand in hand.
We didn't exchange a word until she flung open the trapdoor to her room and lay down on her bed, I lay down next to her and after a few minutes I realised she was crying. Her shoulders shaking uncontrollably as tears streamed down her face
"What's wrong Mari?"
"I-I'm so sorry Adrien.. I should never had stood up to your father like that… he's gonna hate me for everything and-" I hushed her and placed my finger on her lips
"Marinette, my father is never mad at you and never will hate you, in fact he admires you and your brave personality, he's honestly a tough one to knock sense into and is extremely stubborn but… you're the only one who can manage to actually convince him… second to my mother…" I trailed off, my mother was an exceptional human being- I loved her more than anything and I would sacrifice anything and EVERYTHING just to see her once more. Ever since she died I never felt the same again, the relationship between my father and I became awkward and extremely distant… but thank god I have Mari, even though she could never replace my mother, she still never fails to make me feel the way I felt around my mother- happy- happiness was a rare feeling I felt, especially considering the fact my father is very cold and austere, rarely showing any emotion on his face.
I brought my attention back to Marinette and I cupped her face in my hands, wiping away her tears. I sat up and motioned for her to lean her head against my chest, she glanced up at me and asked whether my father really wasn't mad at her or was I just saying it to comfort her.
"Mari, this isn't the first time you've managed to convince him to let me out of the house, remember when you convinced him to let me go to New York with the rest of our class, even though you were really pissed at the fact he wasn't letting me and you did raise your voice slightly, which he rarely tolerates in his house, my father still let me go, and wasn't mad that you had practically shouted at him" I explained "although he maybe will be mad if he did find out that we were doing much more than just talking about fashion designs" I teased.
Marinette instantly got flustered and blushed a bright shade of crimson red- who let her be this goddamn cute when she's flustered- and she uttered "Well maybe he won't when he finds out you were actually enjoying it, I'm sure he wants to see you happy" she teased back and now it was my turn to blush and turn away.
Marinette's POV:
I giggled at how flustered Adrien got and he tackled me into a huge hug, while smothering my face and neck with kisses. The sudden rumble of his stomach paused us and we both broke out into laughter.
"Looks like someone is hungry" I teased and grabbed his hand while leading him down the stairs to the empty kitchen.
My parents had moved away to Shanghai two years ago, when she was 16, leaving the whole bakery in my care. I rarely opened the bakery, only when I ever had spare time- which was impossible when I'm Marinette and Ladybug at the same time as well as the LOAD of schoolwork I get given- during holidays and when occasionally her relatives came to visit. Marinette missed her parents dearly and wished they could come back to stay with her in Paris, but once they left, there was no turning back. I tried to remember Mama's laughter ringing through the bakery and her warm smile, Papa's voice and the smell of his freshly baked bread, even though it'd only been two years it feels like an eternity since they left...
"Mariiii I'm actually so hungry… can we just like buy a cake or something?" Adrien whined- snapping me out of my daze- obviously completely forgetting that I was a baker's daughter and pretty much knew how to bake EVERYTHING. I turned around and gave him the most unimpressed look, an even MORE unimpressed look than the one I gave Alya when I had found out about the secret blog she had made.
"Bitch whaaaaat? I don't know if you've BOTHERED to notice that I am the finest baker in Paris' daughter and can bake a cake myself without having to run down to the shops, you barely even know what shit they could put in there'' I huffed, crossed my arms and marched primly towards the back of the kitchen while throwing on an apron and tossing one to Adrien
"Ight come on, you're gonna see what I used to do before I was Ladybug and before my parents left for Shanghai…" I trailed off, the memories of baking with my parents flooding back. I bit my lip to hold back my tears and took a few steps forward towards the counter and began preparing everything I needed.
*time skip to after they finally had gotten everything ready and started actually baking brought to you by Amazon Prime (no late deliveries intended)*
I had finished up making the last batch of cake- turns out me and Adrien made WAY more than we needed and ended up with 4 batches, I mean he said he was hungry- and slammed the oven door closed. I looked up to find Adrien looking down at me, who knew he could be this messy- he literally had cake batter all over his face. Honestly sometimes I wonder whether he is a 5 year old toddler disguised as an 18 year old…
"Come here… you have batter all over your face, lemme take it off for you" I said while taking a couple steps towards him, I pressed him up against the wall and gave him a smug smile.
"W-where about on my face" he questioned me, confused
"On your lips.." I whispered and with no hesitation pressed my lips against his, pressing harder the more I wanted him, my tongue gliding across his lips, I could've sworn he was purring for a minute. I caught a little batter in my mouth and pulled away from him.
"Impressive… you did a good job of making your first cake don't you think, doesn't taste too bad" I remarked
"Oh really… I didn't taste any of it, but I'm pretty sure it's gonna taste perfect, especially when it comes from your mouth… may I purr-incess?" He didn't even wait for me to consent- he probably knew the answer already would've been yes- and kissed me harder, his tongue slipping through the gap in my mouth and savouring my taste. He didn't even pull away for a second, just kissed me for what seemed like forever and gripped my waist, pulling me closer.
He pulled away and looked down at me, lifted me up against the wall with his arm snaked around my waist and returned to kissing me. He pulled away and began marking my neck with hickeys, my breath hitched as I felt his hand reach down and rub my thighs while uttering 'mine, mine, mine' whenever he pulled away to catch his breath.
The piercing alarm of the oven interrupted us and we both pulled away, lips a shade of red and panting for breath. I kicked the knob of the oven to the 'off' position and let them cool down in there.
"Woah… you definitely have some skill there" Adrien said, entirely amazed at my kicking accuracy
"Yeah… so do you, are you sure you haven't practiced making out with those models you work with?" I teased, he turned redder than a tomato and became all flustered
"I- uh what? No… of course not, I mean I've only kissed you… well actually me and Kagami were in a relationship before I was in one with you and um I did kiss h-" I hushed him by placing another featherlight kiss on his lips. I was unbothered about his relationship with Kagami and didn't really care about what they did, as long as he doesn't love her anymore then I'm fine with that. Speaking of past relationships, I just want to see Luka's face when he sees that me and Adrien are together. Well I'll be able to see it soon, tomorrow is the return to school from the mid-April break and he's in my 3rd and 4th period class, this is definitely gonna be interesting.
I hear the jingle of the front doorbell and quickly pull away from Adrien to come face to face with Alya… for the fifth time this week.
"Uhhh am I interrupting something because both your lips are swollen as fuck and Marinette you have at least a dozen hickeys over your neck" I instantly began blushing and I felt Adrien's arms snake around my waist as he brought me into a hug.
"Ehh you're not interrupting anything Alya, just decided to bake a little and this bitch got a little carried away" Adrien replied while pointing at me, I looked up at him with a raised eyebrow
"Well you were definitely enjoying it, you were fucking PURRING so who's the one who got carried away now huh?" I shot back at him, he blushed and tried to change the topic.
"So… uh Alya, what did you come here for"
"Well… Marinette I don't know if you're gonna be too happy about this but uh… you do realise that tomorrow is the return to school and Luka's there."
"Girll, do I give a fuck if Luka's back" I uttered while giving her the 'I ain't no weak bitch' look, "honestly I couldn't care less if Luka was coming back, besides I have a whole revenge plan which is going perfectly well. I'm no detective but I know exactly who broke us apart and trust me, that son of a bitch is gonna be in for a huge surprise tomorrow" Alya stared at me in disbelief
"You? Making a revenge plan?" she paused "THIS BITCH IS AMAZING. OUT OF EVERYTHING ELSE I WOULD'VE EXPECTED HER TO DO SHE IS MAKING A FUCKING REVENGE PLAN! THAT'S MY GIRL" she squealed, I looked up at Adrien who was slightly shook by hearing I was making a revenge plan. I'm pretty sure he probably thought I was using him as part of the plan.
"Adrien honestly don't worry, I'm not using you just for revenge, even if I wasn't making a whole plan like this I still would've confessed my love to you." I reassured him.
Everything is going just how I want it, surely nothing could mess up now, right? Wrong….
