Wicked Games
The world was on fire
No one could save me but you
Strange word desire
Make foolish people do
I never dreamed that I'd love somebody like you
I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you
Remy wished the song would soon be over, but it had just come on. He lay on the top of his bed, dressed in boxers, his mind half-way between sleep and awareness. His entire reason for laying like this, for agonizing over one crooning love song ,slept down the hall, in the woman's wing of the Xavier mansion.
Oh I don't wanta fall in love
No, i don't wanta fall in love
With you
With you
Remy tossed onto his stomach and groaned and feverantly wished for the torment to end. Five months ago, she had given him the cold shoulder, literally. She left him in Antarctica. Had it not been for the green mist lady, he would be dead now. The pain of betrayal squeezed at his heart then and it squeezed at his heart now. This song was doing nothing to ease it.
What a wicked game you played
To make me feel this way
What a wicked thing to do
To let me think of you
What a wicked thing to say
You never felt this way
What a wicked thing to do
To make me dream of you
Remy could take no more of Chris' crooning voice. He slammed his hand onto the clock radio, smashing it.
"Merde!!" Remy cursed. He rolled out of bed and decided to take a walk to ease his mind. He slipped on a robe and left his room. As he walked down the darkened halls, he heard that song again, coming from the woman's wing.
The world was on fire
No one could save me but you
Strange word desire
Make foolish people do
I never dreamed I'd love somebody like you
I never dreamed I'd lose somebody like you.
Remy walked closer to the song's source, then he stopped. Rogues' room. He listened carefully as the song became sung by two voices.
No I don't wanta fall in love
" No, ah don't wanta fall in love"
No, I don't wanta fall in love
"No ah don't wanta fall in love"
With you
"With you"
Remy's throat hurt. Rogue was singing along, her voice full of tears and regret, her full soul into the music.
Remy pushed open the door a bit and saw her, holding her radio in her arms, rocking, tears streaming down her face, singing to the last bits of the song. Remy closed his eyes. Mebbe she still love me an' might take me back. But not now, now I give her time.
Remy opened his eyes to look at her again, then she slips back to his own room, closes the door and lays back down on his bed. A slight smile rests on his face
Mebbe it no' so hopeless after all
