Our Secret Affairs

chapter 2: Secret Affair

"A-adrien!?" Marinette's lips parted. She contained her nervousness. She had gotten over all the stuttering over the past years.

"M-marinette... It's been a while." He looked at the faded tear marks on her cheeks. He looked at her eyes. They always sparkled, unless she was sad. It reminded him of Ladybug, oh the pain she brought him, he would never see the love of his life again.

Chloe was only trying to help him recover, it wasn't necessarily working. He closed the door, rushing towards her and bent down in front of her. "What's wrong Mari?" She blushed, he hasn't called her that in years. Let alone talked to her.

"A-adrien... Just... I'm fine." There was a bit of awkward silence between the two. " h-how's it going with Chloe. "

He rolled his eyes, and Marinette noticed this. She raised an eyebrow out of curiosity. "She's... Ok." He said awkwardly. "What about you and Nathaniel?"

Marinette scoffed. "Please, all he wants is sex all the time." Marinette said rolling her eyes in annoyance. "S-sorry... Too much?"

The boy chuckled. "No. But looks like we have the same situation. Chloe's never serious."

"Then... Why'd you date her?" Marinette said thinking out loud. She blushed. Stupid stupid!!! Adrien looked at her, "can you keep a secret?" She nodded.

"I'm just trying to get over heart break. But... T-this girl... S-she sends me cards e-every week. And... When Chloe saw the first one... She ripped into shreds. "

Marinette frowned. Stupid Chloe. "But... I've hid the letters from her. And... I actually really like them. Their sweet, a-and cute."

Marinette blushed at his comment about her letters. she didn't know he thought so much of them. She wanted to thank him but she'd blow her cover. "I think the secret admirer might be Sabrina, o-or Lila... Maybe-" and before he could finish Marinette scoffed. He frowned, "w-what?"

"Really! Lila?!?! Sabrina!!" She frowned, her eyes glossy. Adrien didn't get why she was so mad. And Marinette was mad that he didn't even think that it could be her. Well, she blew her cover already, she might as well.

"T-those letters... W-were from me. " she blushed. Looking to the side in embarrassment. "A-and... The one on Valentine's day... That was from me too." She sighed. Looking down. Adrien grabbed her chin and tilted her head up, "Your hair shines like the sun..." He started. "Your eyes are gorgeous green." Marinette said, remembering the love poem.

"Why?" Said Marinette, hurtfully. "Why did you choose Chloe over me! O-out of all the people why her!" Marinette was overall disappointed.

Adrien, still dumbfounded, bit his lip. He looked at her with sympathy. "You wrote those letters?" He questioned softly.

"It doesn't matter now anyway." She stood up, walking towards the door, and Adrien, out of his reflexes took the urge and grabbed her hand.

She looked at him surprised. But before she could react he crashed his lips onto hers. Marinette was surprised but kissed back deepening the kiss. Marinette shivered as she placed his hands on his warm strong chest. She blushed slightly.

They pulled apart. Adrien breathing a bit heavy, "s-sorry. I-i should've asked first." He replied, there was a bit of awkward silence between the two. "M-may I?" He questioned still eager for more. Her lips were soft and puffy, and curved on his perfectly.

Without hesitation, she nodded. He placed his hands on her hips and kissed her passionately. She traced her hands onto his shoulders then to his arms and felt his muscles flex as her picked her up placing her on the counter.
