Marinette's Friends Novels & Stories

But now they weren't just a fling, they were dating. I didn't like it. Not one iota. Matt, like Jenny, were Seasmoke friends we didn't see often. We had a connection to them, were close. Sad truth was, I liked Matt a lot. He was a great guy. Jenny and I had a pact, a bond, also. Often, I wished we could see more of them than just July trips.

All I could focus on was Sincere, the way his eyes kept finding me across the deck, dark and hungry behind that easy smile he wore for his friends. Marinette picked up on the vibe quickly. After a few knowing glances and one very unsubtle wink, she faked a yawn and asked one of the crew to drop her back at the marina. “You two behave,” she called as she left, but her grin said she hoped we wouldn’t. Now it was just us. The sun had dipped below the horizon, painting the water in deep oranges and purples. Soft music played from the speakers as Sincere led me back down to the private cabin, his hand warm and firm on my lower back.

Marin adjusts herself as she sees me walking towards their direction, as if I had not seen how clingy she was with Eric. I know Eric will make a good boyfriend for her, but he was already in a relationship with Sophie, Wes’s sister. “Hiii…” she says, a wide and uncomfortable smile fills the air. “What are you doing here?” I completely ignore Eric and turn to Marin. I'm sure she must think I'm so pissed at her because I had warned her not to have anything to do with Eric. Sophie is really crazy and would go to any lengths to keep Eric as her dog. “I'm just, you know…” She looks away from me and shakes Eric, “Let's just talk some other time. See you around.”

Marinette sounds sad as she says, “Just go, Lauren. As you can see, I have important company. Just tell Chase that I’m safe and I don’t plan on leaving again today.” Lauren sighs in response and says, “It was nice to meet you, Princess Lux.” I nod in response before the door closes. Marinette breathes out and I can feel her eyes on me as she says, “Okay, it’s official, I like you.”

Marina smiled brightly and looked into the distance as if she was reminiscing. Many of the merfolk were puzzled, wondering what she was saying. “What's going on? Tell me more about your new friends.” The chief was agitated, shocked to hear that his daughter made friends. It was not a good thing. They had always protected Marina strictly and never allowed her to step out of the line. Marina was raised like a noble little princess, and they knew every friend she made. Everyone felt uncomfortable when they heard that Marina had made a friend who could help them.

Out of all the criteria, only Amelia fit to be her husband's companion. "For God's sake, Amelia. I'm begging for your help. Or, if you don't want to be bound by this marriage for long, just until you get pregnant and give birth to Ethan's child. After that, you can decide whether to stay as his wife or separate. Please help me." "You can find another woman, Flora. Not me." "I would feel more at ease if you were Ethan's wife," Flora spoke softly again. Meanwhile, Amelia stood firm in her decision. She kept shaking her head as a sign of rejection of her friend's outrageous request.

“Hey, Marg,” Bran and Marina enter the bar, followed by ten of their new friends. “Can you give my new friends their first drink and charge it on my tab.” Marg raised her brow. “Friends of yours?” She was suspicious. Since when did Brandon have friends the pack didn’t know about? She tried to catch Marina’s attention, but the younger woman escaped to the ladies’ room. Who were these people and why were there so many of them? Why did they come?

’ Mariane clicks her tongue and sips her soju. From afar, Kimberly Chua, Mariane’s best friend, passed by the convenience store and noticed her. Kimberly Chua was Mariane’s classmate back in high school. But even if Kim was her closest friend, Mariane was not used to telling her problems from her unless it was about school or her love life. “Hey!” Kim tapped her shoulder, which made Mariane jump in surprise. “Oh, my gosh! You make me nervous, Kim. I thought you were someone I didn’t want to see right now. Don’t surprise me!” Mariane exclaimed while holding her chest as she felt like her heart will get out of her ribcage.

Marie smiled indulgently. "Let's go to Bess' bookshop tomorrow?" Marie suggested all of a sudden. She looked at me hopefully but maybe she noticed my startled reaction due to which she blushed, "Ah, you may think I am a little strange, perhaps...I-um...I never had friends apart from Samuel -my elder brother and you seemed to be friendly so-" "Marie", I cut in, effectively ceasing her ramble. She peered at me. I smiled, "You know what? You are my first friend as well". Her whole face brightened, "Oh! That's...I am honoured". Her cheeks tinted red once again
