Chapter 11: Confusion and Confessions

I walk to the dining hall and it is just Adrien and Felix. I can't help but feel a little confused and I just want to understand. I want to know the reason behind what he did. Felix seems to know that there is something happening.

"So quiet, is everything okay?" Nathalie says as she bring in the food.

"Nathalie, I want to talk to you later with my father. Can you arrange that?" Adrien says avoiding the question. I just keep my mouth closed.

"Of course and Felix, your mother wants to talk with you as soon as you are done with dinner," Nathalie says handing us food and then leaves. I hurry and eat. I know that things are a little weird right now. So I head up to my room and shut the door. About a half hour later, a knock sounds at my door. I open the door to find Nathalie, Gabriel, and Adrien standing there.

"Come in," I say holding my door open. "How can be of service?"

"Marinette, I told them what I did earlier and I explained to them why I did it. I feel bad because instead of explaining myself to you, I ran," Adrien looks to the floor.

"He told us why he did so and explained that it really was him. He wanted to make sure that I wouldn't kick you out," Gabriel says as he watches his son. A smirk hits his face as he see Adrien's face become bright red. "Anyways, he has something to say to you and no matter what you say, understand I am not going to kick you out."

With that he leaves Adrien in the room, I turn to him. I don't know what he wants to say, but doesn't he love Ladybug?

"Marinette," Adrien says and I look at him. I almost feel like crying. I am sure he won't say the three word I want him to say. "What is I told you that I love someone that you know?"

"I would ask who and if I could help," I answer. I have no idea where this is going.

"What if I told you that she has blue hair and blue eyes?"

"I would probably believe that."

"What if I said that it is you?"

"Adrien, are you telling me that you..." I drag out that you, hoping for him to finish the sentence.

"Marinette, I love you. I understand if you don't feel the same way, but I just..." Adrien says but quickly is interrupted by me. I didn't even realize that I had moved. One moment I am standing a few feet from him hearing the words I have waited for, the next I am kissing him. I made the move. I didn't say I love you, I didn't hug him, and I didn't let him finish.

"Marinette," Surprise in his voice.

"I love you, too."

He grabs me and lifts me up. We both smile and laugh. I hug him. Now, how am I going to keep the Ladybug thing a secret. I hope that one day I can tell him. I will tell him, but not right now.

Someone clears their throat behind us. We turn and see Felix.

"So cousin, you feel like you are happy now. I hope that you can see just how much this can hurt others," Felix says and then walks away. Adrien and I look at each other with worry on both of our faces.
