Marry Me

Chapter 19

"Lies!" immediately yelled Marinette.

"Oh really?" asked Chloe with a sweet smile. "Why don't you ask Adrien? He knows."

Marinette looked at Adrien, and he was rubbing the back of his neck and not looking at her.

"A-Adrien? Is it true?"

"No!" he said. "Well, not really."

"What do you mean not really?"

Adrien looked at his father, and Gabriel stood up, being the voice for his son. "Yes, Adrien was engaged to Chloe," he said, earning a few gasps from the crowd. "But that was an arranged marriage between me, Emilie and Andre. It started when he was 10, but when he turned 15, he told us that he didn't want to be with Chloe, and he fell in love with Madame Dupain-Cheng. We agreed."

'But," continued Chloe. "They never officially broke off the engagement. So technically, we're still together Adrikins."

"Why did you never tell me that before Adrien?!" asked Marinette, hurt etched across her face.

"B-because.. I thought it wasn't important?"

Marinette ran a frustrated hand through her hair, ruining the style, then faced Adrien. "Look, I don't know what the heck's happening, but I know you love me. I freaking love you too." She gave Adrien a small kiss then continued. "But, you should have told me. And you need to break off this 'engagement' with Chloe."

Adrien nodded, then turned to face the crowd. "Hey everyone! Listen up! Me and Chloe have nothing together! We have never even dated! And Chloe, I break up the so-called engagement for my beautiful mademoiselle!" He looked at Marinette with a smitten grin and gave her a long kiss.

"Well then." The priest cleared his throat then looked at the couple. "I say we continue?"

Gabriel nodded, sitting back down and Tom and Sabine were beaming.

"Do you, Adrien Agreste, take Marinette Dupain-Cheng as your wife, and promise to look after her in the times of poor and rich, healthy or sick, no matter what?"

Adrien grinned. "I do."

"And Marinette Dupain-Cheng?"

"Of course I do!"

"You may now kiss the bride. Though, that already happened a while ago," the priest added with a wink.

Adrien slowly approached Marinette, but she yanked him forward by his shirt and gave him a passionate kiss. As if it was their first kiss in the world.

"I love you kitty," she murmured against his lips.

"I love you too bugaboo."

"Promise you won't leave me?"

"Never."
