December 17th, gift number 17 :
-Marinette, he is on this side, exclaimed Tikki with her little flute voice, while grabbing a small square packet between her tiny arms of Kwami.
The young woman hastened to seize the gift number 17 which Tikki proudly handed her.
It was a square package, wrapped in brown kraft paper decorated with bright golden and copper peas. Consciously, she removed the paper to let appear underneath a white leather case that she gently opened.
A watch.
An absolutely magnificent watch, and certainly much too expensive for it, stood there in the case, comfortably seated on a pale pink cushion.
Chat Noir, you can't spend so much money on me, she thought with emotion.
The watch was very refined, the bracelet was made of beige pink leather, the outline of the copper metal dial pulling on a metal with a pink reflection was perfectly matched to the leather of the bracelet. The bottom of the dial was white and the metal hands were also copper. She took the watch out of its case and discovered by manipulating it that there was an engraving on the back of the dial.
"Time spent with you is never long enough. CN "
Marinette felt a heat wave overwhelm her chest as the beats of her heart raced frantically, swept away by her emotions and mood.
She painfully put the watch on her wrist and slowed down by the tremors of her hands, she couldn't close it.
Ladybug could deal with and overcome a dragon, a dinosaur, a hungry, 100-year-old sentimonster, 30-foot-tall supervillains and even a very powerful supervillain from the future, but she couldn't cope with closing a watch because she was moved. Unthinkable, unacceptable, pitiful.
Stupid cat. Cat stupidly romantic.
He still managed to upset her far more than she thought possible. Forced to see that hercarrier was under the grip of her emotions, Tikki finally came to her rescue to tie the watch to her wrist.
-It fits you perfectly, Marinette. Chat Noir has a lot of taste, blew the red Kwami little with admiration. Marinette offered a smile of approval to Tikki, she was absolutely right. This watch was an excellent choice and was simply sublime.
Her attention was now focused on the box always open in front of her. Below the lid of the latter was a very small square and golden envelope in which she found a small note of her partner.
"My Lady,
I often feel like time is my worst enemy. Sometimes I wish I could suddenly freeze the time around us so that it would be just you and me, in a bubble where nothing and noone could penetrate and where I would never need to leave you again. It would just be you and me against the whole world. Isn't that a beautiful dream, Bugaboo?
Your dreamy kitty in need of time spent with you. "
It is an absolutely beautiful dream and tempting my sweet kitty, dreamed Marinette dreaming of this bubble where time would no longer have a hold on them.
The dream was short-lived, because there, unfortunately, she looked at the watch that Chat Noir had previously set, and time caught her full force... She was, late again.
To be continued...
