Done with Lies

The Date

Marinette POV

"Ughh, my head," I mumbled, sitting up slowly. I was feeling groggy. My head was spinning. I was ready to flunk right back into bed when all the memories of the nights events came flooding back. Oh no! Noah, he-he, oh I was so vulnerable. And the others, they know now. They know that I'm weak, useless. Why, why did my life have to be like this. One things for sure, note to self, stay away from Kei. I got up to make myself some tea. I had a trick to add some honey, pepper and tiny smidgen of chilli powder to help with the hangover. I gave Chloe the recipe so she should be set. I  obviously was so tired I forgot to change. I felt icky.

I had stumbled out of my bed, floding the covers over as neatly as I could. I was still half asleep so it took me a moment to register but when I did I screamed. "AHHH! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!". I was definitely surprised as I was face to face with Noah. Why was he here. What happened. Thankfully he was fully clothed. Was I that sad and drunk???? No, I know I wouldn't do that. Nope, no, no wayy. He wasn't surprise in the slightest but just sat me down as he handed me a cup of tea. "Wow, the alcohol Really got to your head. Its a blend of tea, honey and chilli powder. My mom... she made it all the time,". I smiled but I was confused. I though it was just a chinese thing. "Thanks, my mum taught me the same blend. It's a-,". "-chinese thing," He finished my sentence. "My mum was half Chinese," He said. I smiled softly to myself. He was really different. And there was no denying it, he was hot. "Uhh, sorry, this still doesn't explain why your here,". He raised an eyebrow at me which confused me even more. He sat down and said one word. 'Stay'

Flashback - last night in the rain scene

Noah POV
I  cuddled up with her. It was freezing. She was ice cold, shivering, even. The girl needed warmth and sleep. I picked her up bridal style as I walk, at my own pace, toward the dorms. As I was walking , I took a moment to think. Why did I care about this girl so much? She was just some random girl, why did she make me feel so, so weak? When we are together, my stomach flips around as if it were a bouncy castle. She could make a guys heart Melt. She was kind,caring,generous,funny and the list just goes on. She was special. I was lost in taught. I scavenged through my brain for solutions to my questions and I could only find one answer. It seemed impossible, I wanted to refuse but I couldn't, I wouldn't. It dawned on me then and there. At exactly 00:37am, I realised.

I was inlove with Marinette Dupain - Cheng.

I wanted more time to think but we had reached her dorm so quickly. I had taken her keys from her purse and unlocked the door. Her room was farily clean aside from the odd fabric same here of there. A few screwed up drawings and pencil left out. I lay her on her bed. I wasn't planning to stay yet only a few words had changed my mind. I turned to leave when I heard a soft. "W-wait. Don't go, please,". It was so quiet it was merely less then a whisper. I could of left but my inner instincts told me to stay. Stay by her side no matter what.
I gave her my hand to assure her I was here and then made my way to the sofa. I lay my head down gently. It was a huge sofa so I had lots of room to sleep and move, it was comfortable too. I was shattered. My body felt as if it were to disintegrate, limb by limb. My only motivation, at the time, was getting Marinette to a secure room. She needed rest. So did I. My eyes began to feel heavy as I turned to face the emptiness of the room. I wanted to watch over her, make suee she was OK, nothing could harm her. I felt responsible for her and her well - being. My tiredness got the better of me as my eyes got smaller and smaller per second. The last thing I though before my slumber was, Marinette. She was perfect. Humour, kindness, smart. What more could you want in girl? Her beautiful bluebell eyes glistened as memories of her stare crowded my brain. I was able to sleep, with the same memory reading over and over. She was amazing, perfect. All I had ever dream of. With that I fell into a deep sleep.
