This was originally written with Kitty in mind, but after that title popped into my mind it changed to be in Lorna's point of view, and then it broke into two parts, one part for Kitty, and the other part for Lorna.
Oh and just so you know, I am expecting flames and what have you nots. So bring them on if you want to. It still won't change the fact that I wrote this story and have no intentions of taking it down, unless forced by the people who run this board.
All characters belong to whoever owns them, for the life of me I do not know who that is. I am thinking it is Marvel, but I think there is a bigger person who does. Anyways, I make no money only fun from this contribution.
I can't sleep; all I see or can think about is red. For without it, well I wouldn't have found the love of my life, because it was what essentially brought us together in the fist place.
In the beginning we thought we didn't have much in common, but we found out we did. It all started with the color red. I went looking for Piotor and actually found him kissing Theresa. It was all out in the open now, the reason why he kept pushing me away. I walked up to them and confronted them and all he could tell me was that he decided he wanted older and an accent. He actually told me that he only thought of me as a little girl. A little girl? I still can't believe it, I was actually sixteen and so beyond the little girlie stage that all I felt was embarrassed to go after him. Needless to say, that was the end of our relationship. One year of us, and he goes and cheats on me with a red headed little drama queen. As he walked away, all I saw was red as my tears fell down my cheeks.
Well I guess that was better then what Lorna actually had happened to her. She actually caught Alex in bed with Madelyn or was it Jean. I never figured out which one was what. And quite frankly after Lorna and I left the X-men, I gave up trying.
We haven't been back since then. And I for one am never planning on going back. They don't look too kindly on us anymore. Well, whatever, it is their loss and they can go fight the good fight without us.
The night just keeps dragging on in an endless loop it seems. Don't get me wrong, I am happy, but I still would like to see some of them like Kurt, or even Ororo again. At least not all of them turned their back on us.
We first made love a few weeks ago on our first anniversary. It was so sweet, dinner at La' Sioux, her favorite restaurant then to the theatre to see Les Miserable, my favorite play.
I still can't believe that I liked her lips, her eyes, her hips, her thighs, well my mind is getting way more complicated and I can't help a shiver that goes through my body thing about it. Taking it slow, unlike a lot of guys would, slowing down to enjoy certain things, enjoying life with her, living why we can, and enjoying this non race of a life we have now. No more fighting for our lives with other super power beings or wondering if we would escape with our lives. I can honestly say I don't miss that life.
I close my eyes and snuggle against Lorna more as the night drags on and sleep seems to be finally coming for me. I feel Lorna's warm arms circling around my waist and wrapping tightly around me and kisses my neck.
"What are you doing up so late babe?"
"Nothing, just thinking about how my life went from suckie to great in a few heartbeats."
"Yeah it surprises us that way, sometimes. Now go to sleep Kats, we got a big day tomorrow."
"I love you Lorna." Waiting for tomorrow makes everything worthwhile and happy feelings to course through me.
"I love you too, my little Kat. Now sleep."
With that, I close my eyes again and find the sleep that had eluded me all night.
