Marinette awoke to the sun shinning on her face and Adrien holding her tight in his sleep as they were lying together in bed. Marinette was full of bliss at the moment, she had spent her whole life wondering what it would feel like to make love. Not have sex, if she had only wanted that then she wouldn't have waited this long, no she wanted to make love and it was better than what she had dreamed it would be.
"Adrien." She said softly while kissing his head. "It's time to wake up."
"No..." He groaned. "Just a little longer."
"Come on we can't stay in bed forever."
"Ugh...You're killing me woman." He smiled sleepily.
"If you get up now I'll make you my mother's famous chocolate chip pancakes."
"You know just what to say to get a man out of bed don't you?"
"Well my mother always said the quickest way to a man's heart is through his stomach." She giggled.
So they got out of bed, got dressed, and enjoyed a wonderful breakfast of pancakes. when they were done eating they went walking by the lake and had a picnic for lunch. Many days like this followed after and it seemed never ending until one morning when Adrien was out getting supplies and Marinette was left alone in the house, real life came crashing down on them. Marinette was in the middle of sewing her own wedding dress when she heard a knock at the door. She answered it and there she saw Alya.
"What are you doing here?" She asked her.
"Girl I could ask you the same thing. You've been gone for a week, have you been here all this time."
"Maybe." She said.
"Well should know your fiance got worried so he called, when you didn't pick up he called us and Nino let it slip about you and Adrien now he's here."
"What? How could you let that happen?"
"Hey Nino let it slip not me, I only came over to warn you."
"Oh God. What does he think?"
"He didn't sound too upset but don't let that foll you some men act to calm to hide their rage."
"Being here this week has made me forget all about him."
"I'm sure it has."
"Alya what am I gonna do?"
"Well for starters you could tell him the truth."
"And then what?"
"I don't know. Do you still plan on marrying him?"
"Yes...No...I...I don't know. Oh dear God what have I done?"
Alya hugged her.
"Look it's not that bad...Okay maybe it is but look if you're worried he'll get mad-"
"Alya I mean I don't know if I still want to marry Nathaniel. A week ago I thought I was, I thought I was over Adrien and ready to be with another man but now...Now I don't know."
"I understand. You're confused and don't know who's right for you. I know that feeling."
"No you don't, you and Nino have been together forever, there's nothing to compare him too."
"Okay listen." Alya sighed. "I have a secret I wanna tell ya but this is just between us okay?"
"Okay."
"While Nino was in his coma I was very worried that he was gonna die, that my child wouldn't have a father. To drown out my worry I went to the club where I met up with my old boyfriend. My God he was amazing that night, an incredible dancer he was. After a night of dancing he asked me about my life and I told him what had happened and how I scared I was for the baby. He told me that Nino would probably die and that if we were to get back together he would make sure that me and the baby had everything and more. I was tempted, very tempted but then I relaized something. I can't live without Nino and if there was a chance he may come back to me then I needed to wait."
"So what happened?"
"I thanked him but I told him no. I never saw him again after that. So the point is Marinette you need to make a choice not saying it's going to be easy but you can't have it both ways."
"I know."
"I'll see you around."
She gave her another hug, got into her car, and drove away. An hour later Adrien came back, she told him that Nathaniel was here and that he knew about them.
"What are you going to do Marinette?" He asked her.
"I don't know." She said. "I really don't know."
"You're gonna tell him you're not gonna marry him right?"
"I don't know."
"What do you mean you don't know?"
"I mean I don't know if I'm going to call off the wedding."
"So you're still gonna marry him?!" He cried getting married.
"I didn't say that!"
"So I guess what happened this week didn't mean anything to you did it!"
"It did! And it was wonderful but I...I don't know what to do. I love you but I love him too."
"But you're gonna pick him right?"
"I didn't say that! Adrien try to understand, I am in love with two men and one of them I'm gonna have to hurt and I don't know which one of those men I should be with."
"Do you wanna be with me? Or not?"
"Yes but I...I-"
"I know you love him but you don 't want to be with him!"
"You don't know that! Adrien you're not being fair!"
"Well neither are you! You can't just sleep with me and then go marry him!"
"Adrien can you please put yourself in my shoes? What if you had to choose between me and another woman?"
"I would pick you!"
"But what if you loved the other woman?"
"I'd still pick you! I have always picked you even when I didn't even know you I still picked you! But apparently you don't love me at all! I'm just something for you to do when you're bored!"
"Take it back!" She cried and she started to beat it. "How can you say that? After every thing we've been through how can you say that? You have no idea what I'm going through and what I'm feeling! Take it back! Take it back!"
"I take it back!" He said holding her arms to stop her from hitting him. "I take it back! I'm sorry...I didn't mean it! I didn't mean it, I just don't want to lose you again."
"Adrien I just don't know what to do anymore."
"I know, I know."
"I think I need some time to think okay?"
"You're leaving?"
"Yeah."
"Will you come back?"
"When I have an answer." She went to pack her bags and then went to her car. Before she got in she looked back at Adrien and told him one last thing. "But know this, no matter who I pick remember that a part of me will always love you."
"I know." He said understanding. "I know."
