Chapter 2: ah saw the news t'day
He walked into the apartment, tossing his duffel on the floor and putting his keys and sunglasses in the key bowl. Looking in the bowl he saw Rogue's keys telling him that she was home. He had a feeling she was home when he saw her motorcycle in its space down stairs, but seeing her keys confirmed it. He headed towards the kitchen. Not here. Living room. nope. Bed room. There she was laying on the bed feet dangling and a pillow covering her face.
"Bad day Chere or takin a nap?" he asked leaning against the door frame
She answered but he didn't hear what she said do to the pillow muffling her voice.
"What was dat? Remy didn't 'ear ya Cher" he noticed the gloves as she removed the pillow from her face looking at the ceiling
"Ah said bad day" she sat up leaning on her elbows "Until ah called an old friend ta confirm somthin"
Gambit walked over out to the patio and pulled out a cigarette, lit it and taking a small drag from it.
"ta confirm what exactly" leaning against the rail and taking another drag
Rogue didn't answer. she got up and walked over to him taking his cigarette and taking a drag
"Remy takes it ya saw da news t'day" pointing to her gloved hands
"ah did...explains why ah haven't been feelin well lately .." taking a second drag before handing it back to him "also explains why ya passed out last week when ya tried ta kiss meh"
"Remy never did get dat kiss Chere"
He flicked the cigarette bud and it disappeared with a small pop, he leaned in to kiss her but she backed away putting a gloved hand on his chest to keep distance between them.
"mah powers are back swamp rat...we can't...ah don't wanna hurt ya...so no physical contact...got it?"
He removed her hand from his chest and kissed her knuckles.
"Remy not afraid Chere" he smiled at her looking into her green eyes with his red on black Demon like eyes
"ya should be..." she took her hand out of his walking back inside to the closet pulling out her Army duffel putting it on the bed and started to fill it with all her stuff.
Gambit followed her inside closing the door behind him. Seeing her pack. there was something she wasn't telling him.
"What are y' doin Chere?"
"What does it look lahke...ah'm packing"
"Why? did Remy do somet'ing wrong?" he asked sitting on the opening of her duffel.
"ah'm going home" trying to push him off her duffel but was stopped he gently but firmly wrapped his arms around her to keep her from moving
"Y' are 'ome Chere" smiling
"No...ah...this...let meh go swamp rat!"
"non. now what do y' mean by goin 'ome?"
"Yes! an' ah mean home. as in New York"
"y' mean Xavier's?" loosening his grip
"yes ah mean Xavier's..." she walked over to the dresser looking at a picture of her and Jubilee
"Y' goin back cause yah powers?"
Rogue turned and looked at him, slightly irritated.
"of course cause of mah powers..." she sighed avoiding his eyes "ah think ya should go..."
Gambit walked up to her looking into her eyes. She looked away from him.
"Chere? Rogue look at moi" taking his gloved hand he lifted her chin so she was facing him. she looked at him
"the only place dis ol' cajun is goin is where ever y' goin Chere, Remy wants ta stay by y'."
"yah...yah wanna come with meh?" this made a happy tear form in her eye
"oui. Remy wants t' go wit' y'" smiling at her wiping the tear that formed on her face with his gloved finger "we'll find a way around dis, promise"
She smiled, then in a split second her smile went away, she just remember something. she quickly turned out of the room looking for her cell. Gambit noticed her expression change and followed her.
"What's wrong cher?"
"ah forgot to talk ta Jubilee after ah got off the phone with Storm. Ah promised ah would talk ta her"
Quickly hitting speed dial. she turned to face Gambit. He was laughing. She sat on the couch and threw a pillow at him. He caught it and threw it back, she was about to throw it back when she her Jubilee's voice on the other end.
"Hey Jubs. Sorry ah got caught up with somethin.. Oh guess what?...Ah'm comin home"
Rogue and Gambit both winced and laughed at the squealing girl on the other end.
