Chapter Two: John and Maggie Met Again
June 23rd 2010
It was a long day in Seattle, Washington for the waiters and waitresses of Café D'Amour. The hustle and bustle of the city kept everyone running around. Maggie McGrath was placing a steaming cup of coffee when someone else called for her.
"Hey! When can I get some service around here?" a vaguely familiar called to her.
"One second please!" Maggie called, exasperated. She turned in the direction of the voice and stopped, shocked. Standing before her was none other then St. John Allerdyce. She just stared at him while he smirked.
"Hey Mags, been a long time," was all he had to say before she snapped out of her trance.
"What are you doing here?" she snapped.
"Getting something to eat," he said nonchalantly.
"Yeah right! What do you want, Pyro?" Maggie replied nastily.
"What does Café D'Amour mean?" Pyro acted like she never said anything.
"John," she replied warningly.
"I'll have a black coffee with a blueberry muffin. When's your break? We should go do something," he was leering.
"Fine, None of your business and no way am I going somewhere with a mutant terrorist like you," Maggie stormed away. Pyro just smirked to himself as he watched her walk away.
"Stop staring at my butt, Pyro," she called. Minutes later she practically threw his muffin at him and dropped his coffee, spilling some.
"Thanks Mags," John smiled, "So, lets go somewhere."
"No and bye," Maggie left. After John had finished his muffin, he noticed Maggie hanging up her smock, placing her pad in the pocket and grabbing a tan messenger bag.
"Going somewhere?" Maggie jumped and turned around, glaring at the mutant.
"My shift ended," was all she gave him before walking out the door.
"So where are we going?" he began to follow her out of the store.
"I'm going shopping, you're going away," Maggie started walking faster but it was to no avail, John was keeping up.
"What kind of shopping?"
"I'm never going to get rid of you, am I?" she sighed and stopped. John was smirking.
"Nope!"
"What do you want John? Money? Info? Sex? What?" Maggie looked upset.
"Nothing. I just wanted to hang out with my best friend," he rolled his eyes as she snorted. Sometimes Maggie could be so stubborn and suspicious.
"Really? Cuz for some reason I don't believe you. Did your mutant friends dump you?"
"Well, yes but I was in the area and thought 'why not visit Maggie?'"
"I don't buy it," they both started walking again, at a slower pace.
"Why?"
"Because, you're St. John Allerdyce. You don't go anywhere that doesn't benefit you," Maggie turned into a bookstore.
"What if I told you it only benefits me because you're here." he flirted.
"And tell you something what you want?" Maggie sneered and picked up a few books.
"No because you're beautiful," John was shamelessly flirting.
"Flirt," she laughed.
"Bookworm," Pyro teased, pulling Cupid and Psyche out of her hand.
"Hey!" she protested and attempted the grab it back but he was holding it too high for her to reach, "Give it back."
"Hmm," John acted like he was thinking about it, "Sorry, can't help you."
"John!" she tried jumping for it before getting an idea. Batting her eyelashes, Maggie rang a finger down his chest and whispered seductively, "Please Johnny?"
"Uhhhh," John's mind drew a blank and his arm lowered.
Maggie snatched it back and waltzed away. John was dumbfounded and shook his head to clear strange thoughts about his best friend. He found Maggie sitting in the back of the store, leaning against a dusty bookshelf. She was already engrossed in the book that she didn't notice Pyro slide down next to her until he moved a piece of reddish brown out of her eyes. She jumped and looked at him. He smirked and placed an arm around her shoulder.
"Seductive Maggie is hot," he teased. Maggie just shoved his arm away.
"And mutant terrorist John is an ass," she retorted. John's smirk fell a bit but Maggie didn't notice.
"Come on Mags. I'm not going to do anything like that anymore," he sighed.
"Show me some proof and then maybe I'll believe you," she snapped. Pyro didn't say anything, he just lifted up his right pant leg. Around his ankle was an advanced looking tracking device. Maggie's eyes widened.
"The X-men cut a deal with the police and courts. I have to wear this and they monitor me for the next five years. If I use my powers too much I get sent back to jail. I meet someone or do anything suspicious, I get sent back to jail. That proof enough for you?" he glared at her.
"John, I-" but she stopped, not knowing what to say, "I'm sorry."
"Whatever. Bye," he stormed away but Maggie knew it was only for show. John was always dramatic.
So yeah, this chapter was the shortest so far only 936 words not including the authors notes! At least most of the other ones are about 1,200 and above...at least I think...Review please!
