Chapter 2 – The Unexpected Visitor

The mansion was all quiet except for the playing of the other students inside the living room, in other words all their screaming and roaring can't be heard in the other vicinities of the mansion whether inside or outside.

Rogue seeing the current tranquility around the residence, decided that amidst her depression, now is the perfect time to freshen up and have some time for herself, and so she decided to head out for the pool, she didn't understand why, but she went into her room to get her newly bought bikinis, the top was with a thin spaghetti strap in shades of emerald green matching her eyes, the back was nothing more than a string, so plain and yet so bare, enough to make all the guys drool their lungs out. The other half of the suit was a low cut black bikini with stripes of the same shade of green. These are things that she wouldn't dare to wear in the presence of any other human being not because there was something to hide but because aside from her emotions, her perfect porcelain body is her most priced secret.

She was already in the mode of enjoyment in the waters of the pool when she heard a very familiar sweet and sexy voice right behind her.

"Well bonjour chere, what's a tres belle femme like you doin here all alone, mind if a join ya?"

Rogue turned around to the man right behind her and her usually cold attitude would ask her to shout at the person who disturbed her peace but when she did she came face to face with the next best thing to male perfection. She looked up at him with awe from the pool and asked herself 'what is that Cajun doin here?' before answering with her usual cold demeanor to hide her inner thoughts

"Firstly it's non o' ya business what ah am doin, now if ya don't mind… ah would like some peace and quiet." Then she turned around only to feel a splash of water on her back.

"Now, Remy got yer attention"

"Now what Cajun?" she practically shouted, a little angry and frustrated, but Remy just gave the southern gal his famous smirk.

Remy a man of nineteen, was a member of the thieves guild, "the prince of thieves" as they called him and he came from a very prominent family of France, the LeBeau's. Honestly from his current state in life he can practically get whatever it is that he wants money, car, mansions and he is expert at poker that very much gives him the ladies he wants, all that, not including his inborn charms. But somehow Rogue seems to be his center of attention, the only real gem in a sand of stones, and he knew for a fact that she hit him at his heart, big time.

The two southerners have known each other from way back; they met each other at the train station at New Orleans going to the Northern part of the states, fortunately Rogue at that time was searching for her mom whom she found out to be dead and Remy was running away from an engagement that he doesn't want to be part of, both felt comfortable with each other right away. There on that night, they found the comfort they are looking for in each other's arms and they instantly hit it off and became friends, but Remy felt something for the younger gal, not just friendship but a deeper feeling, but whatever it is, he just shrugged it away, after all he was young and naïve.

Rogue invited him to the school where her dad and step mom are teaching, and because when she gets back to the institute she has to tell her father that her real mom died already, she asked Remy that she needed all the support she could get, so she asked him to come back with her, so he agreed.

Everything seemed well between them and with the other students of the institute but for some reason, after graduation Remy went away from the mansion and was never heard from again, until now.

"Yah know what Cajun, ah am not in the mood fo' any o yer pep talks right now."

"Ah ain't pep talkin chere, it's just you ah cared about ya and ya seem to be troubled, what seems to be the problem?"

"It's nothing really" Rouge said calming down… a bit

"Chere why are ya so stubborn, you know Remy be here fo you, no matter what, you can tell me anything"

"No Cajun, dis is none of ya business!"

"Tis be about the family? Or yer heart?"

With that comment Remy pulled a string and Rogue completely snapped without her meaning it.

"Ya know this has nothing ta do wit yah, so don't push it cause yah don't really care as a matter of fact, ya juz show off ya ass coz ya think ah am some kind o challenge, someone dat ya can't get wit the snap o yer fingers. Well ah don't even know why you came back, coz ah am better off without ya. And let meh tell ya dis, as much as you hated being a mud faced creature, that's how much ah hate you, and one more thing don't go steppin' on other people's mess when you ain't part of it… D'accord!" Rogue said that more of a command than a question, and with that said she stormed out of the pool, grabbed her towel and went straight to the mansion, bumping into one of the students.

Apparently the other students, who happened to come out supposedly to play soft ball in the back yard, ended up watching heated argument between the two, feeling some sort of strong emotion themselves that left them speechless in the spot where they are standing.

AN: At Rogue's room, later that night

"Hey Rogue, mind if I like come in?"

"No it's fahne, come on in Kit"

"What's up, I've never seen so, like that angry before."

"Yeah Ah know, Ah didn't mean to, it just came out of meh, really, ah don't know what ta do, he just annoyed meh and pissed meh off… a lot. Yah get the picture"

"Well I am sure, he just cared look I know I am like not in the position to say this but I like totally think that he is so much in love with you as you are with Scott and maybe you could like you know give him a chance, pick up where you left off."

"Ah dunno Kit, its juz all too much fo meh to handle, and besides we aren't pickin' up anything coz we didn't have anythin' in the first place."

"Ah know one way or another you liked him too, back in your trip four years ago, Wanda said that Remy was "your great comforter" the one you confided to about your mom's death… I must admit he was the first one to melt that hard heart of yours."

"True, but that was years ago, ah don't feel the same way fo him now as ah did before, and ah knew that maybe it was juz plain infatuation, and ah probably chose him as my shock absorber because he is de only one available and the only one at reach during that time."

"And you didn't even like tried"

"God knows ah tried, ah really did… but he left meh, and so did the things ah taught ah felt fo him"

"You know, maybe he's like the one for you, I've seen the way he looks at you, and it's not like he wants to take off your clothes or something… but it's like he wants to spend his whole life with you. And besides it's like totally obvious that the reason he came back to Bayville and to the mansion is you.

"…" Rogue said nothing totally oblivious to what was happening right in front of her except for the words that left Kitty's mouth and in her amazement she found herself nodding in agreement to what Kitty told her.

"Rogue?"

"Y-yeah well, ah guess he deserves my sorry. Ah should probably give him a chance, but Scott… oh forget it…Well sorry is enough for now… ah think"

At the kitchen

"What is up with you and with that touch-me-not-sister of mine?" Pietro asked as Kurt, Remy and himself are drinking beer in the kitchen.

"Nothin mon ami, Remy guesses that she juz had other things in mind dats all"

"Well vhat vrings ya hir Gambit? Could I still call you zhat athough maybe you lost your touch on poker as you did wit ze ladies?"

"Do you want t try Remy's hand again mon ami?"

"No juz askin, honestly I zont want t lost money again."

"Well Remy is still de ladies man, only your tres belle sister is not juz any ordinary femme, she is someone special, and if yer askin as to why Remy's here, it's simple really, Remy want to be wit his chere."

After a few more minutes of talk, Rogue entered the kitchen, and she looked around and a smile formed on her face 'Juz what ah was lookin fo'

"Hey guys, ah'd like ta talk to the Cajun fo a sec, is dat alright?"

"Oh sure sis, come on Kurt…" then the two left the room so that Remy and Rogue could talk alone.

"Ahm sorry for what happened dis morning, ah-ahm it's juz dat…"

"Remy hit the spot again… non chere Remy should be de one that's sorry, didn't mean ta hurt yer feelings chere."

"It's okay… ah guess we both each other an apology"

"Oui, so… we bon?" (AN: bon mean's good)

"Oui, and swamp rat, thanks" Rogue muttered before leaving the kitchen after getting an apple from the fridge.

"Thanks fo' what chere?" Remy asked

"Fo putting up wit me, no one's been doin dat lately."

"It's okay Remy wud do anything fo ma chere."

Rogue simply nodded, said goodnight and walked outside the hallway to her room.

"And chere fo the record, I really do care fo you… goodnight, Remy will always watchin' you."

Rogue blushed a little but as she turned around not knowing what to say, she was shocked to find that Remy was already gone, she was glad cause she did not know what to say to him after that but she is quite disappointed too but she easily shrugged it off and went to her room.

That's it for chapter two, I revised this one too… well you know what to do… R&R!
