Rogue pushed the shopping cart down the next isle of the grocery store. She had been asked to do the grocery shopping this week which was fine with her. It was just a normal day at the grocery store right? Wrong.
She sent a scathing glare to the man behind her with his own shopping cart full of food and toiletries. He gave her a smile full of teeth in return. Oh, how she despised him.
Gambit had only recently come to join the X-Men in the last month and already she wanted to kill him. When he wasn't eliciting giggles and blushes from the other girls at the mansion, he was following her around. Did he really not grasp the concept that she just wasn't interested in him?
Stopping to load a couple of boxes of toothpaste into her cart, she didn't notice when Gambit slipped out of the aisle for a moment. When she turned around he flashed her a grin and she had the unsettling feeling he was up to something.
Why did Storm have to send him with her?
Looking back down at her list with every item checked off she decided it was time to get out of there. Time alone with Gambit was never good and the longer she spent with him the worse it was.
She led him to the front of the store and over to the cashier. The employees at this store had become used to their weekly shopping trips with two carts full of food. So when she began unloading her cart onto the conveyor belt the cashier didn't even blink. He did, however leer at her chest for a good minute.
Once her cart was empty she pushed it forward and began loading the bagged items back in. When her cart was full again she turned around just in time to see the cashier, Jerry, his name tag said, scanned several boxes of condoms. He looked up at her and gave her another leer.
Her face flushing with embarrassment she leveled a hard glare directly at Gambit who winked in return.
When all was bagged and paid for and they were pushing their carts back the van, Rogue decided to address the stunt he had just pulled.
"Next time ya fill the need ta stock up, do it on ya own time." She growled. She stopped at the van and opened the back doors.
Remy chuckled ad she sent him a glare thinking he was laughing at her. "These ain't fo' me, Cher." He said, taking bags out of his own car to put in the back. "Hank's teachin' a Sex Ed. class wit' the new semester an' asked me ta pick up a couple fo' him."
Rogue's face heated up with a blush. She was so stupid sometimes, really she just needed to learn to keep her big mouth shut. She picked up another handful of bags and bent over into the van to place them closer to the seats.
She froze when she felt arms wrap around her waist and a hard body drap over her bent position. "Besides." A hot breath whispered in her ear, sending shivers down her spine and making her knees weak. "Ah prefer ribbed."
Taking a deep breath, she regained her ground and pushed the annoying man away from her. "Oh, knock it off." She snarled causing him to laugh.
He was so damn annoying.
