Ah kissed him
once. Who’s he? Well, he is a mystery... Not really. He is Gambit. It’s not
like Ah am in love with the guy. It’s not like Ah wanna run my hands through
that hair or him so look into those eyes all day long. Nothing like that...
Well, maybe a little. That’s why Ah did it.
Kitty had called
Scott after we ‘rescued’ Pietro. Of course our ‘Leader’ came to our aid. HA!
“Ah’m walkin’,”
Ah said.
“Rogue, it’s
late. Come on. The Professor is mad enough as it is,” Scott whined at me.
“Yeah, come on
Rogue,” Kitty, another whiner.
“Look, Ah got
some thinkin’ to do, okay? Is that so wrong?”
Ah waited for an
answer for a few seconds.
“Fine, but he
wants to see you when you get back. Don’t take too long,” he said, then drove
off.
“Whatevah,” Ah
said out loud.
“Whatevah? It’s
not good to talk back to your leader?” That voice, “An’ it’s not good for a
femme like you to be out here alone. You nevah know what might come up,” then
the sound of shuffled cards.
Ah didn’t even
turn around. Ah knew who it was and Ah could tell where he was by his voice,
“Ah should be sayin’ that to you.”
“Me? No. Ah jus’
don’t tink dis Southern Belle should be out dis late,” he took a step forward
into the moonlight, “Dere are a lot of crazy people out dere.”
Ah turned
towards him, taking mah own step forward, “Ah can protect mah self, thank you.”
“Ah wasn’t
offerin’ protection, chere,” he smiled, “Just a warnin’.”
Again, Ah moved
forward, but this time Ah was right in front of him, my eyes looking into his.
Maybe not into, but up at, “A warning?”
He reached up
and touched mah hair, “Yeah, a warnin’.”
By this time, Ah
was, Ah was- well, Ah don’t know what Ah was. Mah emotions were so mixed up.
Here is this totally hot guy looking straight into my eyes, his hand on mah
hair. He looked confident, not scared of the our closeness. But on the other
hand,
Ah was furious! How dare he warn me? Was he warning me about him? Does this guy
wanna fight?
“Why are you
here?” Ah asked him simply, trying to figure out his motives.
His fingers
moved down the rest of the length of mah hair and rested his hand on mah
partially uncovered shoulder, making sure the ungloved part of his hand (his
fingers) were on mah material, “Gambit can’t look after dis fair beauty? Dis
Rogue?”
Ah was stupid
and shrugged his hand off, “Ah don’t need lookin’ after, especially by you,” Ah
turned and walked away.
Of course he
followed me and caught up. Why Ah stopped when Ah felt his hand tug on the hem
of mah shirt? Ah don’t know. Ah turned and faced him. His hand stayed on me as
Ah turned. It’s place of rest was now on mah back, still on the shirt.
“Please, chere.
Dis-”
“Listen! You are
the enemy and Ah should be kickin’ your butt raht now.”
He raised an
eyebrow, “Den why aren’t you?”
Ah didn’t know
what to say. Ah just stared at his chest, unable to answer.
“Are you scared
of de Gambit?” he looked down at me as Ah looked up, “You can’t fight me
because you can’t resist me.”
The last
sentence seemed drawn out. Ah studied it over in mah head for a moment or two,
searching for the meaning. Ah, again, was confused. How dare he think that? It
was kinda true, but other than that fact, it wasn’t. The Professor told us not
to fight unless provoked.
“You’re right,
Gambit, Ah can’t resist you. I can’t fight the feeling Ah have for you,” Ah
looked up into his eyes and brought mah covered right hand to his cheek, “And
Ah can’t resist kickin’ your ass!”
The dreamy look
in his eye faded as my left hand came in contact with his stomach. He doubled
over and Ah saw mah chance. Ah kicked him in the side and Ah waited. He was
grabbing at his injury, but Ah knew better. Just as Ah thought, Ah saw the
glowing pink cards coming at me. Ah dodged them and got close enough to kick
his side again.
“Who needs
protecting now, pretty boy?”
“Gambit just
wanted to spend time wit you. Not fight wit you,” he looked up at me with those
eyes, “But I guess de Gambit has no choice.” He quickly stood up and grabbed a
near by broken branch.
“How am Ah
supposed tah believe that? To believe that you wanted to be civil? If you were
so civil, you would have left Magneto a long time ago!”
“Well,” he swing
the branch at me and Ah jumped, “Gambit thought you would get to know him
before you judged him,” Again he swung and missed, “Maybe see that Gambit has
no choice but to be with Magneto,” he swung a third time and knocked my feet
out from under me. Before Ah knew it, Ah was looking at the night sky.
“No choice?” Ah
questioned, ignoring the pain.
He came into
view above me, planting the branch in the ground next to my head and placing
both of his feet on either side of my waist, “Remy can’t be a thief for de rest
of his life.”
“So instead you
are a lackey, following a crazy old man with insane thought?”
He squatted
closer, bending his legs as his body was only an inch from mine, “Dat crazy old
man was the ticket Remy needed to get outta de life of the Guild,” He smiled,
leaning closer to my face, “You would have never met me if it wasn’t for him.”
Ah really just
laid there, enjoying the closeness and that sexy voice. That wasn’t like me
though. Ah am Rogue! No one touches me: body, mind, or soul! “Oh, and what a
disappointment that would have been,” here Ah go with the sarcasm.
“Knew you’d see
it my way, chere,” he smirked.
Ah smiled. Ah
loved it when Ah get’um off guard. Ah opened mah legs and snaked mah hands
quickly
and quietly around his ankles and gave the a strong tug. He fell flat on his
ass between mah legs. Ah quickly jumped up, pushing his shoulders down with my
hands and kneeling on his hands.
“And dis is de
way Remy likes it: girl on top,” he gave me his best set of puppy dog eyes,
“What Gambit wouldn’t do to be in dis position with you on a regular basis?”
“How about your
powers? Would you give them?” Ah said it calmly and quietly, “Maybe your
memories?”
“Huh?”
Ah brought mah
head down to his face as close as Ah could get it without touching him and
said, “You forgot your protection,” and Ah kissed him. Ah didn’t feel a pull at
first. All Ah felt was the warmth of his lips, the tingling feeling all over my
body, and his lips kissing back. Ah opened mah eyes a split second before mah
powers kicked in and Ah saw the look of contentment on his face. Then Ah felt
it. His memories, powers, and life force entering my body. Ah felt his body go
limp.
So, Ah kissed
him! Ah nevah used mah powers against anyone like that before. Ah like it.
Ah could tell
you about all the things going on in that man’s mind, but Ah’d rather not. Some
of it may not be suitable for children.
