My True Love

【 20 】

*Damian's Pov*

Pennyworth had picked us up at the side of the mall. We made our way in the car, avoiding the press at the same time. I'm pretty sure we will be over the news because of who I am.

We drove for a few minutes when I realized that we were not heading in the direction of the hotel Marinette was staying at.

"Pennyworth, where are we going?"

"Master Damian, your father wished to speak to you at the manor. The both of you."

He what? I tried not to make a face in front of Marinette. I don't want Marinette to find out like this. I don't want her to treat me any different.

"Why?" I asked, holding in my anger.

"He didn't say why. He just wants you and Miss Marinette to be there waiting for his arrival."

"Are you okay? Your father must be worried and must want to see you right away," Marinette said to me.

He didn't need to worry, he just saw me and saved me from the Joker but okay.

"I'm alright. Are you though? Are you sure you're not hurt?" I asked her.

She just smiled at me and shook her head no and turned her head to see the view from the car window. It amazes me how brave she can be in serious situations like that.

I hope she doesn't think of me any different from how I am now. I didn't really want her to know about my father being Bruce Wayne, most girls try to get my attention because of my family's money but Marinette didn't know who I was and actually became my friend so easily. I am not an easy person to get close to, it even took me a long while to even tolerate Jon.

*3rd Person*

The car arrived into the long driveway that leads to Wayne Manor. Marinette's eyes widened to the view of the mansion. She knew that Damian's parents could work for Mr. Wayne and maybe rich money but she didn't expect him to be super rich. She compared the Wayne Manor to the Agreste Manor, she thought Damian's home seemed more elegant while the Agreste Manor seemed more modern.

Alfred parked the car in front of the entryway of the mansion. Damian and Marinette both get out of the car as Alfred leads them to the door to enter. They both entered and Damian already accustomed to his home doesn't seem to mind how it looks but Marinette couldn't believe it.

"Is this really where you live?" She asked him.

"Oh yeah, been in the family for generations?" Damian answered her.

"Generations?" Marinette whispered, half asking and half implanting it in her brain that she wasn't hallucinating.

"Is father here already?" Damian asked Alfred.

"Yes but he is finishing some things up, he will see you soon," he said walking away.

Damian leads Marinette to a small living room to sit while they wait.

"Um about my father, I apologize for not telling you sooner. My father wanted to keep it a secret so that the class wouldn't go chaotic or feel pressured with me around so I hope you understand. I wish I would've told you differently and not like this," said Damian, looking a bit uncomfortable because he feels like Marinette would get mad for not telling her.

"Why do you need to apologize?"

"Because-" he didn't get to finish because he looked over to who was running to him.

"Dami! I heard what happened! Are you okay? Are you hurt?" It was Jason. He was acting like a concerned parent, grabbing Damian's body to see if he was injured of any sort.
