Ah really need
to change the name of this thing. Ah’m up to three now. What is wrong with me?

 

Mah week went by
slowly and it was now Thursday. School had let out and Ah decided to walk home.
When Ah get home Ah was gonna hav’tah fight ‘Gambit’ again. No! Ah still didn’t
beat that stupid droid. Logan keeps makin’ it harder and harder for me
everyday.

 

“Are you sure
you don’t want a ride, Rogue?” Jean asked me from Scott’s front seat.

 

“It looks like
rain,”  Scott added.

 

“Ah’ll be fine.
Ah’ll come straight home,” Ah held up mah hand, “Scout’s honor!”

 

 “Ve’ll save you a place in zee Danger Room,”
Kurt said, smiling.

 

“Kurt,” Kitty
whined, slapping him on his arm.

 

Ah cocked an
eyebrow and her, “What?”

 

Evan spoke up,
“Well, we’ve all noticed you’ve been having problems with your missions, that’s
all.”

 

Ah sighed,
“Ah’ve had a lot of stuff on mah mind, ok?”

 

“We understand
Rogue,” Scott said, “If you need anything, we’ll always be here,” he cleared
his throat, “Everyone ready?”

 

They all
responded.

 

“Ah’ll see ya’ll
later!” Ah waved as they drove off.

 

Ah was finally
alone! Ah looked around, as Ah always did now a days, taking particular
attention to the threatening sky. It was weird to have thunderstorms in the
fall, but Ah don’t complain. Ah decided to take a new route home today, just
hopin’ Ah would get stuck in that storm.

 

Ah was keeping
good pace with time and was almost home. The air smelled of rain and a clean
breeze blew my hair around mah neck and mah brown duster around my legs. Ah
stopped to take it all in when Ah saw the lightning. It was followed my thunder
and the sound of a small snapped tree branch.

 

Ah gasped and
turned, only to see a small squirrel gathering twigs into a pile. Ah turned and
started walking when Ah felt a hand around mah arm, “Hey! You bettah-” Ah looked
towards the offender, “You!”

 

“Remy was
expectin’ a ‘Hello’ or ‘How do you do’,” he smirked at me and tugging on mah
arm.

 

Ah tried to pull
away, “What do yah think you’re doin’?” Ah looked up at him and then to the sky
as spotty drops fell, “Aw great!”

 

“It’s just a
little rain, chere.”

 

“Yeah, but Ah
gotta get home. Logan is gonna kill meh!”

 

“Why would Logan
kill such a precious creature such as y’self?” he said, bringing his free hand
up to mah face.

 

“Ah have Danger
Room,” Ah struggled, “Ah’m gonna be late.”

 

Lightning.

 

“Remy will get
you home on time, chere.”

 

Thunder.

 

“Ah can do it
myself!”

 

Downpour.

 

Ah stood there
in disbelief. This was the last thing Ah needed. Now Ah have to fight this guy
off, then Ah have to do it again when Ah got back to the mansion. Ah should
just drain him! Ah did think about it, that was until he pulled meh closer and
whispered into my ear.

 

“Does de Rogue
still have Remy’s handkerchief?”

 

In a daze, Ah
backed mah head up a little and looked into those hypnotic red eyes, “Ah do,”
Ah started walking to the left, pulling him along with me. We ended up in a
small clearing in the middle of some trees. Ah gently pushed him away, dropped
mah bookbag to the ground, opened it and pulled out the cloth. Ah walked up to
him and right into his arms again. Watching the look on his face was the best
part, “Ah washed it,” Ah held it up to his nose, “And it smells like vanilla.”

 

He sniffed it
and closed his eyes, “Remy does like.”

 

“Good,” Ah
placed it over his mouth and pulled his head down to my level, pressing my lips
hard against his. Ah opened mah eyes quickly as his were just closing and Ah
felt his body relax. He didn’t expect me to do that. Ah loved having the upper
hand, especially against men. Of course, as Ah found out when it comes to Remy,
Ah’m putty in his hands. As the rain fell, Ah felt myself melt into his arms.
There was no air between our rain soaked bodies and our arm were entangled
around each other. Hard kisses became lustful and before Ah knew it, he pulled
the material from my mouth and placed it on mah neck. Ah didn’t think he heard
it, but Ah was wrong.

 

“By de sounds of
dat moan, Remy’s guessin’ chere enjoys?” he traced the contours of my jaw.

 

“Shut up,” Ah
paused, “And keep kissin’,” Mah eyes shot open at that. That was not like me!
Ah guess Ah enjoyed it more than Ah thought Ah did.

 

Of course his
reaction was to smile. Ah think Ah saw a little hint of shock there, but it
quickly disappeared, “Anyt’ing for da lady,” he said, going back to my neck.

 

It was wonderful...


 

Ah never had
that much physical contact with one human being in mah entire life. Yeah, there
was a barrier between us, but still. You don’t understand, this guy knows of
mah mutation and he knows Ah could kill him, but he doesn’t care. He’s tasted
mah powers and he isn’t scared. As the realization hit me, Ah grabbed his head
and pulled it from mah neck, “Why?”

 

He looked
confused.

 

“Why me? Why all
this?” Ah took the satin from my neck and held it up to his face, “What is it
about meh? Ah bet yah could have anyone! But meh? It’s not like you know me or
anythin’. You’re the enemy! We’re supposed to be fightin’,” Ah swallowed back a
tear, “Ah can’t be fightin’ you no more, Remy! But why? Is it the challenge? Do
you have a bet or somethin’? Did Magneto send you here to-”

 

He put his hand
up to my cheek and looked into my eyes, “No chere. Remy’s ‘ere by ‘is own
will,” he pulled me closer to his chest and hugged me tight, “Anot’er time,
chere. Anot’er time.”

 

Ah backed away
from his embrace, “You leavin’?”

 

He let go of me
and smiled, “Don’t Rogue hav’tah be home?”

 

“Yeah, Ah
guess,” Ah looked down at my feet and back up to him again, “But-”

 

He was gone. He
did it again! Ah couldn’t believe it. Ah stood there for a minute, just lettin’
the rain soak mah skin. That’s when Ah felt it. Ah reached into the back pocket
and pulled out a soggy playing card.

 

“King of
Hearts,” Ah turned it over and read the smeared print:

 

“I’ll be back,
chere.”

 

Ah smiled,
grabbed mah bag out of the mud and ran home.

There it is. I’d
have to say it’s not my favorite chapter. and no fighting either! Just some
fluff. Oh well, you’ll have to see what I have in store for Rogue and Remy in a
few days...
