Chapter 16
Wayhem stood together with Adrien on the other side of the main station at the bus port holding on his back a small backpack while Wayhem was looking on his smartphone at an email, which was a seat reservation he ordered a short while ago.
"We just have to let the driver scan our QR codes to confirm our boarding and that's all" Wayhem mentioned. "You won't need to stove your bag in the luggage compartment, just I have to put my suitcase,"
"I can't still believe you gave up your ride just to not let me go alone,"
"I just want to make sure, you make it home safe and sound" Wayhem answered patting the blonde on the shoulder. "And a good thing for us will be, we have each other's company and can talk with each other, so our time in the coach won't be as boring as when going alone,"
"Yes, 13 hours shouldn't be a problem. Those 7 days I was with Kagami on the train, those space of times we were bored as heck…..That was a problem. We still talked a lot and visited different cabins to pass the time during those days, but it wasn't something we were used to do,"
"Yes," Wayhem agreed. "Have you managed to talk with Kagami yesterday?
"No" Adrien answered. "But you know, who answered the call?"
"No, who?"
"My cousin Felix" Adrien answered. "You know the one, who's quite similar looking to me,"
"Why did he attend your call?"
"I don't know. He just told me Kagami's fine he would take care of her and also whatever he's doing isn't personal, it was a job. That's what's making me worried about not being present right now. What kind of job is that and what has it to do with Kagami?,"
"No idea, but someone should put an eye on him" Wayhem mentioned. "Hey what about your best friend Nino?"
"I've sent him a message, but he hasn't answered yet" Adrien answered.
"He will call you back, don't worry" Wayhem assured making Adrien nod. Wayhem checked the time on his smartphone, then he gazed at Adrien picking his suitcase. "Come, let's look for our coach," Wayhem said walking on the sidewalk in front of the parking spots of the coaches passing by a few parked vehicles, which had in front of their parking spot a display announcing the destination of the parked coaches in front of it.
"Oh I always wanted to go to Amsterdam" Wayhem mentioned passing by an empty parking spot, where they had passed by.
"Well, when you save every month a bit of money you could just take this company to head to the Netherlands. If the comfort is good enough for you"
"I will have to see the ride" Wayhem pointed out. "I believe I can take the Startrain there. It will only be around 3 hours I think,"
"That works too" Adrien answered, then both stopped as they read on the 12th spot the capital of France on the display and a few people putting their luggage in the double decker's compartment.
"Oh, hopefully, I can sit on the front row at the top" Wayhem commented.
"Go ahead, I will try to call Nino again," Adrien told earning a nod from the tan-skinned man, which moved forward to the luggage compartment to hand out his suitcase.
Adrien picked up his smartphone to look for Nino's phone number, while on it he passed over Kagami's phone number and thought about Felix having attended her smartphone and pressed on her phone number to call her to see if he could reach her instead.
"The selected phone number is currently unavailable. Please try again later,"
"Okay, maybe you are available," Adrien said sliding down at Nino's phone number then pressed the phone symbol to call the Moroccan man and his phone call was answered immediately. "Great, I have reached you,"
"Hey dude, how are you doing? Are you finally coming home?"
"Yes, we're boarding a coach right now. About 13 hours we will be there" Adrien answered. "Wayhem decided to come along with me, so I wouldn't be alone or in case something goes wrong,"
"A good dude he is" Nino commented. "Have you informed Kagami about your whereabouts?"
"Not yet. It's the third time I call her and it's not available," Adrien answered. "But the only time my call was answered Felix attended.
"What did he say?"
"He said Kagami was fine and he would take care of her and he isn't doing this, because of being personal, it was his job. I feel like he's trying to ruin my image to Kagami,"
"I was yesterday in their house and you….erm I mean I thought it was you first, cause he wore your clothes and looked just like you and mentioned, that Felix was kidnapped and you were worried about him. I mentioned, that you told me you were in Hamburg and he countered with saying it was a location's name on a French road and your parents bought it. Kagami was a little confused and unsure if you were traumatized by what happened to Felix,"
"He's repeating that same scene he did years ago on the anniversary of my mother's disappearance! Nino can you make sure Kagami finds out, that that's Felix, who you two are dealing with or at least make sure he doesn't hurt her in any way?"
"I inform Alya about it and we both have our eyes on her like two lions on their lion cub," Nino promised.
"You're the best Nino,"
"Oh and before you leave or anything. Just for you to be informed. It's not the worst thing in the world, but I thought you should know this. Your cousin yesterday gave Kagami a small slap behind her rump without her commiseration. She jumped. She didn't like it the way he did or I don't even know if you do that kind of things,"
"He did what?!...This…..this…..grrrr…..jerk" Adrien snarled angry at his cousin's deed. "Thanks for telling me that and please keep your eyes very good on her or what Felix wants to do,"
"I will" Nino answered. "If I have to force him away from her, I will,"
"Or try to find out a way to show everyone, that they have Felix in front of them and not me,"
"Good, I will look for a way to help them distinguish him from you. I will keep you informed,"
"Thank you. In 13 hours more or less I will be back in Paris and I will immediately head towards my parents' house and surround him,"
"Sure, see you tomorrow and bon voyage!"
"Thank you" Adrien responded and placed his phone back and entered into the bus entering into the second level of the bus to encounter Wayhem sitting on the first row next to a blonde woman in a short blue summer dress.
"Hey, you've found Aurore" Adrien mentioned earning a nod from the blonde man.
"Wayhem just told me, he's helping you back home," Aurore spoke earning a nod from Adrien.
"Thank god" The former model responded. "If I haven't come across him, I would probably be around the city trying to find my way out of here,"
"I was surprised to encounter him here" Wayhem mentioned. "But at least I could help him out of trouble,"
"Yes and I'm very thankful for that" Adrien said moving to the second row to sit behind them. "I will be here,"
"For real?" Wayhem asked looking back at the blonde, which winked at Wayhem, which rolled his eyes at Aurore, which was looking through her smartphone for songs to play.
"You got this boy," Adrien said making Wayhem shrug his shoulder and sit back down, then Adrien leaned back on his seat, then remembered to pick out his smartphone and searched for his wife's phone number to try calling her again.
"The selected phone number is currently unavailable. Please try again later,"
Adrien sighed and opened the message box and typed down a message to his wife. "Hey Kagami, it's me Adrien Agreste. I don't know if you received my last messages, but I need you to know, that I'm on my way back home and I was framed, then landed in Germany without any money and debit card. Thanks to Wayhem, I'm finally heading home back to you. Please this is all a misunderstanding, I need to talk to you as soon as possible. XXX Your silly kitty,"
Adrien leaned back on the seat sighing about not having managed to talk to Kagami to explain, what happened.
Felix sat in Gabriel's office watching him printing out a sketch of a dress he finished designing on his computer.
"I found before in Adrien's bedroom images of the superheroine Ladybug. Did he have a crush on her?"
"I don't know" Gabriel answered. "I know a lot of young men in the past were really fond of her,"
"I remember he used to have in his smartphone's gallery images of her. A lot of images of her,"
"If you're thinking about getting Ladybug to play with you for the images to send to Kagami, I don't think you'll ever find out, who she is,"
"I know, I'm still thinking about, what to do in the future" Felix explained. "What I noticed is, Kagami doesn't seem to believe that I'm Adrien. I gotta work more on myself to gain her trust so that I can stab her in the back without any problem,"
"Alright, but be careful. If she finds out it's you, our plan has failed,"
"I'm doing my best, don't worry" Felix assured, then walked out of the office to encounter Kagami entering the mansion carrying her barrel bag. "Good evening darling. How was your day?" Felix asked walking towards the blue-haired woman.
"Good" Kagami answered. "And yours?"
"Fine too" Felix responded. "Shall I take your bag up?"
"No it's fine" Kagami responded. "I need to take a shower,"
"Go ahead" Felix responded giving Kagami a kiss on her cheek, then he watched her walk the stairs up, then Felix smiled believing Kagami didn't seem to mind his kiss. "This went well" Felix mumbled watching the woman disappear into the corridor, then he walked back at the door and got out of the house and he encountered on the exit of the plot Nino, which was about to ring on the door, then Felix whistled to call Nino's attention. Nino smiled, then watched Felix come down to him.
"Hello, my friend" Felix greeted. "How are you?"
"Hey…..Felix" Nino greeted making Felix wide his eyes confused.
"What are you talking about?" Felix asked. "I'm Adrien,"
"No, you're not" Nino responded. "The real Adrien talked with me before and the other day,"
"You talked to me, brother" Felix lied making Nino chuckle and take his phone out to show Felix Adrien's phone number. "I can't answer the call with my phone on the inside" Felix tried to trick out the Moroccan man, which pressed the call button, soon Adrien attended it.
"Nino, did anything happen?" Adrien asked making Felix frown and grab the smartphone off Nino's hands to throw it across the road towards a house causing it to break.
"Are you fucking kidding me?!" Nino shouted at Felix's deed.
"Stay away from me. Do you think everyone here will believe your story?" Felix questioned watching Nino glare in anger at the blonde. "Get out of here,"
"You're going to pay for this, don't worry. As soon as Kagami finds out, who you really are, you're screwed up,"
"I don't think so. She's beginning to realize I'm Adrien and as soon as I earned her trust….." Felix finished and walked back into the house, then Nino grabbed on the bars of the door at the road and began to shake on them harshly.
"Get back here!" Nino hissed watching the blonde disappear into the mansion. Nino cried out annoyed and crossed the road to pick up his smartphone. "Adrien I hope you'll be here soon. This guy is going too far with this shit" Nino spoke to himself and made his way out of the street of the Agreste family.
