Marinette and Adrien thought that the storm in their life was over, but what they didn't realize was that they were just in the eye of the typhoon. Lila had escaped from prison and she is now back with her two children . Meet Maxine and Mateo Lane...
I closed the door shut. After 5 hours , the meeting was finally over. If I had to sit in their for one more minute, I will slam my head repeatedly. Felix still couldn't make it since Bridgette is still recovering and refused to leave her side. Carressa, my niece , is with Emma on a girls day out. Louise is tutoring Hugo for his upcoming test, and Marinette has to go to my mother's for their afternoon tea.
I wondered around the palace for a while . Somehow I reached Louise's room. I don't know why but I feel like I should have a talk with him. I knocked on the door.
"Come in"
I opened the door and there was Louise and Hugo studying in one of his desk.
"Is there anything you need dad?" Louise asked , not taking his eyes of the book.
I shook my head." No, I just thought I'll see how you both are doing."
Hugo looked up at me." Are you bored papa?"
"Well, I kinda am , but I want to talk to Louise for a while. Outside."
Louise looked confused but went outside. I smiled at Hugo and went out to Louise. I remember now why I had the feeling to go to his room. I want to know more of this Mateo guy.
"So...am I in trouble? Cause if I am I swear that I did not mean to drop a bucket of paint on top of Ms. Yew's head and I especially did not mean to prank call my teachers."
I raised an eyebrow.
Louise hung his head down." I wasn't in trouble in the first place, was I?"
I shook my head." No , you weren't, but I'll let you off the hook, just tell me all you know about Mateo."
Louise refused to meet my eyes." Who?"
"Don't play dumb Louise."
He sighed." Okay, but you did not hear it from me."
"You have my word."
Meanwhile ~
Emma's P.O.V.
I went through the racks in the store. Mom was able to have her own fashion line a few years back and named it the L.E.H. She L for Louise, E for me and H for Hugo. It was sweet of her to do that , but the name just sounds weird.
Carressa just took 3 dresses and went to try them out . And I was still looking for them. Mom is hosting a dance tomorrow in the palace for Grandma Sabine's birthday. Mom is still tear-eyed from losing her parents but she told me that they would have wanted her to move on. And this dance made mom so busy and so had to make sure that everything's perfect.
She was too busy , so Carressa and I decided to find our dresses ourselves. Carressa's favorite color was white , so I wasn't surprised to see her come to me wearing a white dress. I really liked the design. This must be one of mom's specials.

"I found what I want, let me just change then I'll help you , okay?"
I smile and nodded. I really need help. Finding a dress is one thing but then I have to get a date for the dance. Usually, Louise and I would stick together in these occasions, but I want to spend more time with Mateo. Maybe I should ask him if he could take me. I hope he'll say yes though. He might take it the wrong way.
I mean that - HE'LL TAKE IT THE WRONG WAY AND THINKS THAT I LIKE HIM , BUT HE ONLY LIKES ME AS A FRIEND AND THINKS THAT IM BEING TOO CLINGY WITH HIM AND CUT TIES WITH ME AND THEN HE WILL IGNORE ME BECAUSE IT WILL BE TOO AWKWARD AND ILL GROW OLD AND DIE ALONE!!!!!
I was too caught up with my thoughts so I jumped up when Carressa touched my shoulder. She held a blue dress. Blue is actually my favorite color but green is a close second .
"Here , go try it on."
I nodded and went into one of the changing room. The dress was actually a perfect fit. I looked at myself at the mirror. This is it. This is the dress that I'll take. I went out and spun around it in front of Carressa. She clapped.
"I knew it was perfect for you!" She said , proud of herself.
"Let me just change out of this and I'll buy it."
After I changed, we went up to the counter and paid for our dresses. That's one problem down , now all I have left is how to ask Mateo. Why do I have a bad feeling that something is making dad upset? Eh, probably nothing.
Back with Adrien and the boys
Hugo and I tried to calm dad down before he storms in to Mateo's place. Even though Emma and I can take care of ourselves, dad still looks at us and see infants who needs protection. We love our dad , but he can be a bit overprotective once in a while.
"Dad calm down , it's just a teenage crush , for all we know , that could just be it." I said.
"And if it isn't?"
I shrugged. "I don't know, but I don't think Em will appreciate it if you attack her love interest."
Dad sighed. FINALLY! HE'S CALM. For now.
"You're right. But if he makes her shed one tear, no one can stop me."
Hugo and I nodded so fast , we thought our heads would fall. Dad's scary when he's mad. So being in his hate zone is practically makes you an enemy that he will not hesitate to take down. Hopefully Mateo will be able to show dad that he is nothing like the others. Hopefully.
A.N. I own nothing. And I am so so so so so so so so sorry for the long wait.
