Marinette's POV

When I entered my room, I closed my door trying to catch my breath. Replaying the events in my mind, looking down to see the redness developing on my wrists. I felt myself shaking, trying to take deep breaths to keep calm. My phone rang and I slowly took it out of my purse, "H-Hello." I stuttered. 

"Hey Princess."

"O-Oh h-hi kitten."

"Marinette, are you ok?" He asked concerningly.

"Um y-yeah, don't worry about me. I'm fine Adrien." 

"Of course I have to worry about you. I know when my Princess isn't ok. You can tell me anything Marinette, you know that right?" He questioned.

"Yeah I know, well after you went to fencing practice, I was pushed into a wall. It was James and he threatened me to break up with you. I told him I would never break up with you for anyone, then he tightened his grip on my wrists," I took in a shaky breath as I continued to explain. "There was no one to help me, until I heard footsteps and it was Nathaniel. He distracted James and I managed to get out of his grip." I sighed, explaining the events that were still vivid in my mind. I could still remember the dark glint in James eyes, when he tightened his grip on my wrists. I took in multiple breaths trying to calm my nerves.

"How dare he hurt my Princess!" He growled.

"Adrien, it's ok I'm fine." I tried reassuring him.

"No, you're not Princess. I can hear it in your voice." He spoke softly.

I thought over his words, he's right. I'm not fine. I'm worried and a bit scared. I don't know why I couldn't admit that at first. "You're... r-right, I'm not." I felt  the tears began to slide down my face.

"Don't worry Princess, I'll be right over."

"I don't want you to get in trouble with your dad again." I took in shaky breaths trying to keep calm.

"That doesn't matter right now, I'll be there soon Mari." With that the call ended.

I felt Tikki nuzzle up to my cheek, "You'll be ok Marinette, you're one of the strongest people I know." She said reassuringly.

"You're right Tikki, I'm glad that I have you." I gently nuzzled her against my cheek. I heard a knock on my door, Tikki quickly hid under my loft bed. I slowly walked towards my trap door, I opened it to see those comforting green eyes staring back at me. Adrien entered the room closing the door. 

"Hi Pri-" 

I cut him off by flinging my arms around his waist. I buried my head into his chest, breathing in his scent. He instantly wrapped his arms around my frame pulling me into a comforting embrace. I felt tears pour down my face like a waterfall. I tightened my arms around Adrien as I felt tears continue to slide down my face. He rubbed my back soothingly, whispering calming words into my ear. I felt myself relax against him, being in his embrace always made me feel safe. After a while, I calmed down and began to loosened my grip around Adrien, slowly pulling away from the embrace. "Thank you, for coming over." I spoke softly.

"Of course, I'll always be here for you Princess ." He smiled warmly.

He caressed my cheek and I leaned into his soft touch.

"I will never let anyone hurt you." He whispered softly.

I smiled brightly at his words, "I love you."

"I love you, too."

He leaned down and pressed his lips against mine, I responded as our lips moved in sync. I could feel the sparks running down my spine. I always felt this instant connect since the first time we kissed. We eventually pulled away from the kiss, leaning our foreheads against each others. "Sooo...what do you wanna do?"

"I dunno what do you wanna do?"

"Hmm...how about we watch a movie?"

"Ok, what movie?"

I turned to search for my movie collection on the shelf. I searched through my movies until I found the perfect one. I walked back towards Adrien with the movie in my hand.

"Camp Rock? I don't think I've heard about this movie."

I gasped in shock, "Camp Rock is one of the best movies ever!! How have you not heard about this movie?!"

He shrugged, "I haven't watched that many movies."

 I grinned, "Well that's about to change." We spent the next hour watching Camp Rock. I still can't believe he never heard about this movie! When it got to towards the end of the movie where all the campers start dancing, I couldn't help, but dance along for the millionth time and sing. After the dance scene the credits rolled and I turned to see a very shock Adrien. I looked at ground feeling my cheeks heat up from embarrassment. Why to go Marinette, you just embarrassed yourself. 

"Not only are you an amazing dancer, but singer too." 

I looked up to see him standing right in front of me. My blush deepen, "You really think so."

"I know so, you're the most talented person I know. You can bake, sew, design, dance, and sing." 

I looked down at the floorboard as I felt my face continue to heat up. He lifted my chin up looking deep into my eyes.

"You're so adorable." He whispered.

He leaned in closing the gap between our lips. Kissing Adrien has become one of my favorite things. Feeling his soft lips against mine pouring our love and emotions into each kiss. Every kiss with Adrien is always special to me. We pulled away from the kiss, looking deeply into each other's lovingly. I wrapped my arms around him leaning against him.

Later I walked Adrien out, "I'll see you too tomorrow." I embraced him.

 He responded to the embrace, "See you tomorrow, Princess."

We pulled away from the embrace and I watched as Adrien started to walk home. I entered the house, and started to walk up to my room until...

"Marinette Dupain-Cheng why didn't you tell us you got a boyfriend?!" Mama exclaimed.

I turned to face my parents who wore unreadable expressions. "Hehehe...I forgot..." I smiled sheepishly.

"When did you start dating Adrien?" Papa questioned.

"During the trip in California." I answered softly.

"You should invite him over for dinner!" Mama responded happily.

"But..." I tried reasoning.

"No buts, young lady invite him over dinner and let us know when he's free." Papa answered.

"Ok." I sighed.

"We love you sweetie." My parents said simultaneously.

"I love you guys too." I hugged the both of my them and made my way to my room.
