Vaca Day 3

MarinetteAfter what happened last night, I couldn't get it out of my head. I zoned out through all of my classes and didn't even eat anything for lunch nor break. I didn't take the car to school this morning as I decided to take a stroll to try to clear my head. I didn't even have breakfast. There were dark bags under my eyes, I looked like a blood thirsty vamp that starved for 5 years. All of my friends were worried (Barbara and Cassie and Zoe and Adrien).

But let's be honest. In a situation like last night's...he wouldn't have just stopped even if I said to. He knows when I'm lustful and 'dirty minded' so he gifts me that 'pleasure'. But the way he acted last night was...out of the ordinary. I wonder what brought that on? Did I do or say something? If I did something he would've brought it up. I could be an 'Adrien' at times; oblivious and narrow minded.

There was a pain in my chest, my heart ached as he spat those words and questions out at me. I felt...my soulmate bond...somewhat...break...~~~~~FlashbackDamian: Then answer me this. Do you think the 'Light' problem will be fixed any time soon? Do you think all this madness would end for the rest of our lives? And we can't forget about the vampires in your tribe vampire warrior. When will it be the best time!? I feel as though this relationship is one sided, Marinette. I feel like only I want this relationship to last but really and truly, do you?~~~~~There was no emotion in his tone. My body just broke down and I couldn't move. I was speechless. To make matters worse...Saturday's his bday and I don't know what to get him. *groans* He said he doesn't like surprise birthday parties, he also said that getting him something isn't necessary... Now He's Making Me Go Nuts! He's been avoiding me all day and I'm just lost.

Instead of him reporting in from last night after he came home from patrol, Adrien called and he gave the report... I feel guilty.. almost like a piece of sh*t. Now I know how Lila feels. I finally arrived home, Jerry opening the door before I could unlock it with my own keys. Emilie simply climbed up my leg up to my neck as this time I didn't stretch down my arm. I petted Titus telling him that his owner will be back later tonight.

I waltzed in going straight to my room starting some of the designs I drew this morning during break. Not to mention I had a gala and a fashion show for my outfits on Friday night. I still have to find models! Ughhhh.... Emilie removed herself, laying on her bed I had in my room falling asleep. She definitely lives rent free... I began. An hour had passed and so I went outside to begin preparations for dinner.

Dad sent me yet another Japanese style dish for me to try out (I've always wanted to eat some Japanese food). I got the ingredients and made three bowls of the ramen he sent, placing Damian's in the microwave as per usual. I sat at the table next to Jerry. He turned to me with a look of worry.

Jerry: Mistress, is there a problem?

Marinette: Oh no..- everything's peachy..- why do you ask?

Jerry: Because bo..- I mean you seem down. Is there anything I could help you with?

Marinette: I don't know... It's just that..Damian and I have been distant lately as of yesterday and I think it's my fault. He hasn't been talking to me and I'm genuinely worried about him. And his bday is on Saturday and I have no clue what to do. *groans* Do you, Jer?

Jerry: All I can say is maybe find out why he was mad and fix the problem from there. If he claims that it was your fault then maybe he expects you to find that out on your own, mistress. After all, I'm only the Butler. But and I'm requesting permission to speak my mind..

Marinette: Uhh...of course you don't have to ask..-

Jerry: With the amount of sh*t that goes on in this house, I'm still not sure how I made it through to today. The only tolerable people or rather living beings in this house are your familiar pets, and all they need is to be fed and taken for walks. You two better sort things out before I turn grey and die. *deep breath* My apologies if I went out of line. I'll take the bowl.

Now I understand why he requested permission. I didn't see that one coming. But he's right...

Marinette: Hey Jerry, I know this is asking a lot and I'm being selfish but...could you possibly ask him about how he feels about me and with his birthday coming up, could you possibly see what he wants and then tell me without being conspicuous?

Jerry: I'll try, mistress.

I got up walking back to my room, closing then locking the door. I laid on my bed after plopping backwards onto it. Emilie got up and jumped onto my bed resting her head on my stomach.

~~~~~~~~~~

DamianAfter what happened yesterday, I've been disconnected. I left early this morning but it seemed as though Marinette left before I did. Jerry served me breakfast straight off the stove which was strange since Marinette usually makes breakfast then leaves it in the microwave. I ate it, Jerry taking away the plate. I got up and hesitantly opened my mouth to ask but...I couldn't.

Jerry: The Mistress left a few minutes ago. The car keys are still here so I guess she'll be taking in the fresh air, Master. And also...she didn't have anything to eat. I offered her food but she declined the offer.

The way he just reads my mind is scary sometimes...I continued my way into my bedroom changing then getting ready. I took the car keys and drove the car to college. I had to meet up with father after college for the whole business thing. Today we were meeting the international and worldwide known Wayne enterprise managers in their different stations in their jurisdiction. I sighed as I parked the car in the parking lot closing then locking the doors.

I haven't seen Marinette for the entire day of school. One can only assume she walked back home. I inhaled then let it out slowly getting into the car and driving off to my future business. ~~~~~

About 2 to 3 hours had passed and the meeting had finally ended. I got back home at least an hour before I needed to get ready for patrol. I opened the door, Titus sitting right there waiting for me. I smiled as I stroked his snout. I entered locking the door and making my way towards the kitchen. Jerry stood there behind the counter gesturing for me to sit down and eat. He wasn't wrong...I kinda skipped lunch today so yeah...I was pretty hungry...

Damian: Thanks, Igneel. (Jerry's last name)

Jerry: Marinette made that for you, another Japanese recipe she's trying and she'd like to get your opinion. She also didn't have lunch nor break so she hasn't eaten nor ingested anything for the day. In fact when she got home, she looked like a zombie.

Damian: Oh I see, well thanks...it tastes...

I wrapped the noodles around my chopsticks as I brought it up to my mouth. It tasted so good. I felt liquid running down my cheeks on both sides of my face.

Jerry: *handkerchief*  Here you are Master, is everything alright?

Damian: *mumbles* Why would she make food...filled with sadness..guilt and...remorse...

I swear I could've tasted tears.. I took the handkerchief that was stretched out to me, wiping my face. Was she crying when she made this...? I ate every last bit of it as I didn't know when I was going to get another meal like this made by her hands.

Jerry: As the week would have it, Saturday's your birthday, Master Damian. Do you think your family will be planning something as like last year?

Damian: That's a possibility. But I'm still unsure.

Jerry: May I ask for your permission to speak freely?

Damian: You don't need permission to..-

Jerry: Get your f*cking act together, Master. Both you and Marinette are driving me and your familiar pets insane. I'm still not sure how I made it through to today. The only tolerable people or rather living beings in this house are your familiar pets, and all they need is to be fed and taken for walks. You two better sort things out before I turn grey and die. *deep breath* My apologies if I went out of line. I'll take the bowl.

Damian: I think you should speak like that more often but I think my psychiatrist might loose some good business if I started coming to you for advice. What do you think I should do, Jer?

Jerry: I think that's for you to decide, Master. These two are definitely soulmates...What would you like for your birthday, Master, I have yet to find a gift? I asked Marinette but she didn't know either so I'm resorting to asking you. Any particular figurines or objects that peak your interest as of late?

Damian: Oh..-no..please don't get me anything. You just being here, cleaning the house and doing all the chores is enough. Well, it's about time to get ready for patrol. See you in two hours for the longest.

Jerry: Maybe you should say that...to your soulmate, Master Damian.

I was surprised to hear him say that. I got up walking through the corridors passing Marinette's door. I saw the light underneath it so I knew she was there and her beautiful voice as she was so captivated by the songs she was listening to. I looked down at the door knob, hesitant as to open it. ~~~~~

Emilie: *hisses*

Marinette: Hmm...If Emilie is hissing that probably means that...'he's' at the door. I got up and walked over to it. I could easily sense his presence. ~~~~~

D: I reached out for it...but I stopped as I gently rested my head on the door. I sighed quietly. ~~~~~

M: I placed my hand against the door. Should I open it or should I leave it closed?~~~~~

D: This is what I call being stuck between a rock...M: And a hard place...
