Chapter 15

I do not own miraculous ladybug

So until now the date didn't really go as well as she had hoped. She just didn't know what to talk about or what to do. Luckily in the end he asked if she wanted to game. Anything to get out of the awkward silence. The gaming was fun, and he even won one time. Her pride was a little bit hurt. But they didn't really talk much during gaming. How was she going to make him fall for her if they didn't talk? She also couldn't help but asking him about Chloe, since the topic was on.

Now they are walking down the stairs, she can already smell the croissants and baked eggs. Hopefully her parents didn't go to overboard. But that prayer went unheard as they finally made their way to the dinner table. There was no spot left without something on it. Her parents where already seated and gestured for them to join. Adrien eagerly did so though when he was almost on the chair he seems a bit reculant but when he looked at her parents smile he sat. And she followed.

''So Adrien how are you doing?'' Marinette's mother asks.

But Adrien seemed surprised at the question and also a little but nervous.

Did he never eat together with his father?

''Um I am good.'' He replies.

''We heard from Marinette that you were very busy, how is the modelling going?''

''Ow it is going great, next week I have another show for my father's new line so he is pretty busy.''

To be honest Marinette is actually glad now that they are eating together, no awkward silences. But she does notice that Adrien seems a little tense, nervous? She can't really place her finger on it. Is he not used to lunching like this?

Marinette waves the thoughts away as she takes a croissant and puts some cheese on it. While doing it she sees Adrien roaming the table with it contests with his eyes. He can't choose. There is just too much... normal the cooks only prepare one meal and just enough now he has to...chose. But everything just looks so good.

''The croissants are very good.'' Marinette says hoping to help him out. He nods and takes a croissant.

''Try some of the strawberry jam, we made it ourselves.'' Her mother soon catches on.

With a small smile Adrien takes the jam from her. And just like that they all together have a nice conversation. Adrien asking all kinds of questions about the bakery and her parents answering and asking question of their own. Marinette sometimes also answers and asks. All in all it is nice and not awkward any more. It feels normal, as it should be. When they are all full Marinette slightly feels the panic rise. What to do now.

''By the way have you already been to that new shop that has just opened?'' Her father asks as he takes all the table wear.

''You mean the one across the supermarket?'' Marinette notes.

Adrien shakes his head. ''Not yet, but I would like to.''

''We could go now.'' Marinette says and Adrien seems to consider it and nods.

''Yeah...''

Adrien says his goodbyes to her parents and walks with her towards the front door.

Okay this is it Marinette, now you have to make him fall for you before he goes home.

Well Marinette is in thought she doesn't look where she is going ant accidently bumps into Adrien and makes him trip, he falls on the ground.

Good job Marinette! You made him fall before you! Ugh...
