Chapter 18
The coach stood in a short queue near the boarders between Belgium and France in the next morning and most of the passengers were sleeping on the trip. Wayhem and Aurore were still leaning on each other like the evening before, then Wayhem slowly began to wake up and yawned, then noticed Aurore Boréal had her head on his shoulder. Wayhem smiled, then noticed the woman open her eyes and stare into the wide brown eyes of the man, which was looking at her normally.
"Uh hi," Wayhem greeted.
"Morning…." Aurore greeted a little bewildered at noticing she lied on Wayhem's shoulder. "Sorry I didn't realize I fell asleep on your shoulder.
"It's okay" Wayhem answered, then Aurore looked out of the window to see the coach was approaching the toll slow queue behind two trucks.
"We're just arriving in France now?" Aurore asked earning a nod from Wayhem.
"Somewhere back in Belgium was an accident at the A1 and we were stuck in the traffic for almost four hours" Wayhem explained. "Well, I don't know the exact hours, cause I fell asleep,"
"Alright, it's fine" Aurore stated earning a nod from the brunette man.
"Hey, I'm going to get a coffee. Would you like one too?"
"If possible an Espresso" Aurore replied earning a nod from Wayhem, which got up, then saw Adrien lying alone on his seat still sleeping. Wayhem smiled and moved downstairs to the first floor to get the coffee.
A few minutes later Adrien began to wake up, then looked around him to see a few passengers already awake and others were still resting, then Adrien stretched his arms and adjusted his seat and took out his smartphone to check the time and saw a message from Alya Césaire, which he opened.
"Kagami answered this morning, that she doesn't think Felix is there with her playing your role. She questioned him about you and what happened. He managed to convince her he's you. He also gave this "excuse" that he might have symptoms of a personality disorder or something similar as he had got hit on his head on that attack he mentioned, where Felix gets kidnapped. She's now at the work so far I know and Felix is either on your work or away. If you're earlier here pass by the Gym or head to your parent's house immediately,"
"They're still in my parent's house?" Adrien typed down, then saw the message hadn't arrived yet on Alya's smartphone as she had her phone offline. "Darn she must be at the work now" Adrien put his smartphone back, then he noticed a new message come and he pulled his smartphone out to see the message but pressed on the remove button as the message he received was roaming information. Adrien got up from his seat, then encountered Wayhem at the stairs coming up with two expressos and one normal coffee, then smiled as he saw his idol.
"Good morning Adrien. Do you want a café crema?" Wayhem asked. "I don't know, but I added three portions into it, if you think that's too much or not enough, I can always get you a new one,"
"No, it's good enough. Thanks" Adrien answered taking the drink from Wayhem, then leaned next to Wayhem's seat watching him hand out one of the espresso's to Aurore.
"Thanks" Aurore replied.
"We're approaching Lille as I see" Adrien pointed out. "If we don't catch any more traffic, we'll be home in 3 hours"
"My friend arrived in the middle of the night and had to clean his car before since he took Scarlet she peed at one point he didn't see her," Wayhem mentioned as Adrien listened to him.
"Who's Scarlet?" Aurore asked puffing at her hot drink.
"A puppy I adopted a little while ago" Wayhem answered making Aurore smile enamored at his answer.
"What? You've got a little puppy?" Aurore questioned earning a nod from Wayhem.
"Yes," Wayhem responded, then Adrien placed his arm on Wayhem's shoulder.
"Why don't you show her the images of her?" Adrien asked making Wayhem nod shortly, then he took out his smartphone and opened the gallery to her to show the current images he had of the pup.
"They're not a lot" Wayhem stated showing on his display around six different files, one of them had Scarlet's name and under it was the number 445 which was the content of the file.
"445 is a lot, well at least for this space of time"
"Some of them were taken in series. But I couldn't decide, which to keep so I kept all" Wayhem explained opening the file to show the first images, where the puppy was sitting on an open incontinence pad sniffing around making Aurore smile and Wayhem continued to swipe. Adrien slowly disappeared into the first floor leaving the two alone to encounter a few people waiting in front of the toilet, then he sighed and walked up to sit back on his seat, then took out his smartphone turning on his mobile data so he could have internet and he opened his Facestargram account, then noticed there was a new post on his account he had ten likes on something and he opened it to see they were from 9 hours ago. Adrien frowned believing his cousin must have gotten into his account at the Agreste's house as he has his account login saved afterward he opened the image to see a selfie from the honeymoon, where Kagami sat together with Adrien on a boat smiling at the camera and over the image was the caption the best vacation ever.
"Don't worry, you will have a lot to explain when I get home" Adrien muttered, then heard Aurore laugh at seeing an image on Wayhem's phone then Adrien curiously glanced through the gap of the front seat to notice Wayhem was embarrassed as on his smartphone was a picture of Scarlet humping the leg of someone's leg.
"I thought she was just hugging me. It looked like that before!" Wayhem complained watching the woman continue to swipe through the images. Adrien smirked noticing Wayhem's cheeks slightly flustered, then he got up to look down at them.
"Hey Aurore did you know, yesterday Wayhem told me your eyes were beautiful" Adrien stated making Wayhem stare in shock at the blonde.
"What you really think so?" Aurore asked surprised the tan-skinned man.
"Uh….I guess so?"
"Thank you" Aurore answered, then Wayhem rolled his eyes at Adrien which smiled at the brunette man, which looked back at the smartphone with the woman.
"Well….no problem"
Aurore noticed Wayhem seemed a little shy, then pondered about anything she could say to start a conversation with him.
"What type of breed is Scarlet?" Aurore asked. "A beagle?"
"Well her father was one. She's a Beagle-Corgi mix" Wayhem responded. "I think the grandfather also was a Basenji I think"
Adrien sat back on his seat, then looked at his Facestargram profile again, which suddenly updated itself showing new images and now a new picture was posted with his name and it was a picture of him standing inside the water with Kagami in front of him having her arms around his back leaning her head on Adrien's forehead, which hold it down at her, so he could look into her eyes and the caption was several red and green hearts. Adrien smiled at noticing in the image in his wife's eyes the love she had for him, then he looked at the comment section to see a new comment get added, which was from Kim and it had the smirk emoji followed by an Aubergine and three water droplets. Adrien blushed a little embarrassed at the comment as he knew Kim had noticed on the image Adrien's swimming trunks made his boner look a little visible on the image.
"Of course you had to notice it," Adrien said rolling his eyes amused at the comment, then under Kim's comment, Alix commented with the word jelly and a laughing emoji. Seconds later Kim replied back with a laughing emoji, followed by a second comment, which was directed to Adrien.
"Shouldn't you be working?" Kim asked making Adrien think if he should comment or not and left the social network, then looked at the glass of the window seeing the landscape the coach was passing bay wondering how long the last bit of the ride would take.
Felix sat with Gabriel together in his office chatting about the continuation of the separation of Adrien Agreste from Kagami.
"My car is getting towed back to Paris the next day. Thank goodness no one wanted to search the trunk of any DNA of Adrien or we would have a problem" Gabriel mentioned earning a nod from Felix.
"He's not dead uncle. I attended Kagami's cellphone the other day and I heard him talking to me. I blocked his number and saved mine over his, so he's got no other way to contact her. His so-called best friend Nino I've got rid of his smartphone too and warned him I would make sure no one believed him and so far I know, Kagami is believing, that I'm Adrien. She didn't find it strange about the attack, only felt I was a little different, but this is just how she felt after what happened the other night...well what they think happened...Otherwise, we're on a good way,"
"That's great and about your idea to prove Kagami, you're having an affair with her?" Gabriel asked.
"I'm thinking about at what exact point I should go out and make the trap," Felix mentioned. "But I don't want it to look like it was taken out of nowhere. I'm thinking about readjust a few images from me as Adrien with another woman, where we share kisses, are making out, and all that. Then she confronts me with it and I say I don't remember it, trying to convince her. If she still thinks that's okay, I'll go further with the plan. I create more images, where I and the woman pretend to have sex and just in case we can make ones where we really are doing it or well…..faking it,"
"Well I even believe it's cheaper," Gabriel mentioned. "I have never been there, but that's what I heard from some of my workers, that had…...experiences there,"
"Okay, that's great then" Felix answered. "If it's worth it in the end,"
"Yes, and I received this morning a call from Kagami's mother. She's here, cause she had something to solve and asked me about, how the separation was going and I told her about our plan and she asked if it was possible to show up here,"
"She could show up and I could…...wait a second…..What do you think of her showing up here and at that time Kagami receives those nasty pictures and her mother spots them too?" Felix suggested. "Or she wonders about Kagami's negative reaction?"
"She can't clearly see it, but if Kagami reacts bad and I don't know you or I point out something for her to notice, I believe Mrs. Tsurugi will somehow convince Kagami to leave you. At least Kagami will definitely feel down about it,"
"This plan sounds so heartbreaking,"
"Don't worry, you don't need to feel bad about it. I mean it sure is bad, but don't take it to your heart. This is something between me and Mrs. Tsurugi,"
"What is so bad between you and Mrs. Tsurugi?" Felix asked. "Did you do something you regret?"
"I made a horrifying mistake in the past I don't want to talk about" Gabriel answered avoiding eye contact with the blonde.
"Oh…...But wouldn't it make it better, if you would talk with someone about it?" Felix asked making Gabriel shrug his shoulders.
"Maybe when this is all over I'll tell you all the details about it" Gabriel pointed out. "It's better if I'm the one telling you that, than anyone else,"
"Okay uncle" Felix answered, then someone opened the door and it was the assistant of the house, which gazed at the two blonde men.
"Good day Mr. and Mr. Agreste. Would you like something to drink or eat?" The woman asked watching Gabriel exchange looks with Felix, making the younger man smile.
"Two coffees and maybe two croissants?" Gabriel suggested earning a nod from Felix.
"Of course Mr. Agreste. Shall I bring it here to the office?"
"Yes" Gabriel answered watching the woman leave, then he looked at Felix with a smile and they sat down together, then Gabriel looked at his computer screen while Felix picked out his smartphone to surf on the internet.
