Exposing Lie-la Rossi

Chapter 36: Clarissa, Rhian and Arjo

Misho is driving Marinette to meet the rest of her family.

'What are they like?' Asked Marinette.

'Well...from what Young Agreste has told me about you, you definitely got your devilish side from your mother Clarissa.' Said Misho.

'Really? How so?' Asked Marinette.

'Well...she's kind and nice to the people she cares about and are nice to her but a devil to the ones who don't. Young Agreste mentioned that Toma and Sabine taught you kindness. That's good.' Said Misho.

'He also mentioned that YOU'RE an Angel of Kindness.' Said Marinette.

'I told him not to call me that...' Said Misho.

'Haha. What about my siblings?' Asked Marinette.

'Well, your sister Rhian, she is...a devil of karma.' Said Misho.

'So...nice but demonic?' Asked Marinette.

'Pretty much. Arjo is a bit of an in btween of an angel and a devil.' Said Misho.

'Hm.' Said Marinette.

They finally arrived at the house.

'Hey honey!' Greeted Misho.

'Hey. You look happier than usual.' Said Clarissa.

'Well...do you recognize this girl?' Asked Misho bringing Marinette in.

Cue Clarissa's mother insticts.

'I-Is that...M-Marinette?' Asked Clarissa, in absolute shock.

'Marinette, meet your mother.' Said Misho.

'Hi...mother.' Said Marinette, not knowing what to call her.

Clarissa burst into tears. She finally saw her daughter.

'C-Can I...hug you?' Asked Clarissa.

'Of course.' Said Marinette.

When Clarissa embraced her, she felt nice and safe. A mother's touch am I right?

'So...can we meet her now?' Asked Rhian.

'Oh, yeah.' Said Clarissa.

'You must be Rhian. Uh...' Marinette looked at Misho.

'Papa. That works.' Said Misho.

'Papa told me about you. And Arjo over there.' Said Marinette.

'Arjo! Come on!' Said Rhian.

'Ok...' Said Arjo.

'Hi there.' Said Marinette.

'Hm...' Said Arjo while looking at her.

'W-What is he doing?' Asked Marinette.

'Watch. He's a real smarta$$.' Said Clarissa.

'Ok then.' Said Marinette.

'You're an angel of kindness with a demonic angry side, you're mental health is terrible, you have leadership skills and you like hamsters and cats.' Said Arjo.

'What? How did he-?'

'Somehow, just by looking at someone, Arjo can magically correctly guess what they're like.' Said Rhian.

'That's genius.' Said Marinette.

'I'm sorry, I haven't cooked yet. I'll go.' Said Clarissa.

'I'll help! I like working in the kitchen.' Said Marinette.

'Really?' Askes Clarissa.

'Mhm.' Said Marinette.

Clarissa and Marinette started to make lunch. They had a blast. They have a lot in common. Liking art, the urge to hit their enemies with a chair, dealing with oblivious b*tches, helping others and a lot more.

After they served lunch, Rhian bomboarded Marinette with questions. She reminds me of Alya.

'Rhian, that's enough.' Said Misho.

'One last question, are you dating anyone?' Asked Rhian.

Marinette laughed. 'Yes actually. I have a boyfriend.'

'Really?' Asked Arjo.

'She's dating Mr. Agrestes son, Adrien Agreste.' Said Misho.

'NO WAY REALLY?!' Asked Rhian.

'Yes...' Said Marinette while laughing.

'Where's Evan and Theo?' Asked Misho.

'Oh. Evan's picking Theo up.' Said Clarissa.

'Who's Evan and Theo?' Asked Marinette.

'Evan is our...best friend. He lives with us. Theo is his son. I promise, they're both really nice.' Said Clarissa.

'But-' Said Rhian and Arjo before Clarissa cut them off.

'You 2, come with me.' Said Clarissa as she talked to them.

'You see, Evan's been our...best friend since high school.' Said Misho. 'He'd love to meet you.'

Clarissa and the younger ones returned when the doorbell rang. Clarissa opened the door. 'Evan! Theo!'

'Hey Clarissa. Misho. Uh...' Said Evan.

Misho explained.

'No way...' Said Evan. 'I'm Evan. This is my son Theo.'

'Hi there.' Said Theo.

'Nice to meet you. Evan...' Said Marinette.

'Oh. My full name's Evan Avira.' Said Evan.

Wait...

'Avira?' Asked Marinette.

'Yeah...why?' Asked Evan.

Oh sh*t. Oh sh*t. How does she say this without offense?
