Chapter 4: Photoshots and barking dogs
He woke up and jumped off the bed. He'd decided to wake him up by licking his face. When he was awake, he jumped off the bed and sat down, waiting for his cheese. He hoped that he would see her again today.
Adrien looked at Plagg exasperated. »You want cheese now?« The dog barked again and he groaned, getting up. »Fine.«
He got up and grabbed some camembert, giving it to the dog. He checked his schedule and saw that he had a photoshot at nine. It was twenty minutes past eight now and he had enough time to take a shower.
Marinette woke up and stared at the ciling for a few minutes, before getting out of bed. She saw that Tikki was still curled up on the bed, but her eyes were open and she was looking at her.
She had to see him again today. She knew that his owner was busy and probably had something to do in the morning. She could barely wait for the afternoon to come. I mean anyone who saw the love of their exsistence for the first time in years would want to see them again as soon as they parted. She sat up and looked around as the girl showered. It was going to be time to eat soon.
When Marinette got out of the shower she saw Tikki waiting for her food next to her dish. She smiled and got a can out of the fridge. »Here you go.« She said filling the cat's dish.
The cat looked at her and meowed, before digging in. She checked the time, it was one minute past nine.
The photoshot was going well. All he really needed to do was think about his princess and the rest came naturally, just like the smile on his lips.
He glanced behind the photographer to see Plagg digging through a bag. He sighed inwardly, the dog was probably looking for cheese. He never thought about anything other than food, did he?
He was frustrated. He'd known that he would probably have to sit through a shot before he would be able to see her again. But she was his light and he was angry that the boy had to work. He was fifteen for gods sake and his father had him running around the world for photoshots and jobs like it was his fulltime job. He growled now, he hadn't found any food anywhere.
Addrien looked at the dog, trying to decipher what was wrong and why he growled. When the photographer called for his attention his mind snapped back to the job though.
She sighed leaning against the railing again. The day had gone by so slow. First she finished her dress for the carneval and then she sketched some, went on a walk with Tikki and finally the afternoon came.
»Hello, princess. Waiting for me?« She heard from beneath her and looked down, smiling.
»Nah, I was just enjoying the view, Chaton.« A grin spread across his face.
»I would like to do that to so can you please come down here?« He grinned at her smugly.
»Sure thing just a second.« She went inside and he turned his gaze towards his dog, who was staring at the balcony.
Just as he was about to look up again, something landed on his head. »Ow! What the hell was that?« He said, looking up at her, as she leaned against the railing.
She quickly hid her hands behind her back, putting on an inoccent expresion. »I don't know what you're talking about. Could you please hold my bag for me though?«
He picked up the bag and swung it across his shoulder. »Sure thing. Will you be climbing down?«
She shook her head. »Nope, I'm taking the stairs. Tikki's already on the lower balcony though.«
Chat startled when Tikki meowed next to him and jumped in suprise. »Okay...your cat is not creepy at all.«
Marinette snickered as she went back inside. »Be there in a bit!« She called.
When she was finally there, his eyes widened before a smirk settled on his lips. »Well, hello there.«
She was wearing a short red dress that split down the middle in just the right place as to not reveal anything, her hair was in a lose braid. She giggled. »Hello, Chaton.«
She took the bag from him and he offered her his hand. »Shall we?«
She giggled and they walked out of the alley, her holding onto his hand. »So what are we doing today, Chaton?«
He looked at her a smug smile on his lips. »Anything you want to, princess.«
She giggled again and put on a thoughtfull expresion as they walked towards the town, the dog and cat following them happily. »I want to show you the hidden places around town.«
A sly grin spread across his face and she couldn't understand why. »Okay, let's go. Show me.«
She grinned. She had loved finding special secret places around town, she couldn't wait to show them to someone. She slid her palm into his, suprising him and started pulling him along as she almost ran across the seaside, towards the town. Their animals glanced at each other as their owners started running, the girl pulling the boy along. They almost grinned too, if that was possible and started running after them.
A.N:
I'm so so sorry that this chapter is short. I'm posting another one today and that one will be another long one, I promise. I just want to put the exploring of the town into another chapter. ;)
Write ya soon. Dream on!
