The Best Friend, The Gown and The Moment
Chapter 3: The Moment
The look in her eyes was like crack to him. That shine she always got when she was happy. He wanted to make them shine like that forever. He'd do anything to see it. Make her laugh, or compliment her (of course that made her blush too, which was an added bonus).
The look in her eyes the minute they walked into the hall was the most beautiful thing he'd ever seen. Of course it was tied with the moment she walked down the front stairs at the beginning of the night but he'd have to settle for this one right now, he'd settle for the sparkle that told him that for first time in her life she was happy with her life and where it was going. And he took great pride in knowing that he, Remy Lebeau had a little something to do with it.
"Remy?" he heard to his right snapping him out of his thoughts. He looked to his side to fin the most beautiful woman in the world looking over at him a hint of worry in her eyes.
"What's wrong Cherie?" Remy asked turning toward her.
"Oh, nothing." she covered realizing her expression.
"It didn't look like not'ing petite." he continued trying to coax and answer out of her. She looked away a little puzzled before turning back to him.
"Yah just….looked a little bored." she replied. Remy chuckled. He leaned over closer to her a light smirk on his face.
"For da' next four hours, Remy get t' spend all 'is time wit' 'da mos' belle femme in 'da world. 'Dere 's absolutely no way he could be bored." he replied. She smiled and light blush spreading across her cheeks. "Come." he continued holding a hand out for her. " 'ow bout a dance, non?" her smile widened as she took his hand and allowed him to lead her to the dance floor where several other couples were slow dancing.
Once on the floor Remy pulled Rogue to him and wrapped his arms around her waist while she wrapped her arms around his neck. They danced together swaying slowly to the beat all the while looking into each other's eyes. Rogue smiled up at him and couldn't help but smile back.
"What's so funny?" she asked. He looked at her confused.
"What'd yo' mean, chere?" he asked.
"Yah smiling'." she explained. Remy's smile widened.
"Remy only returnin' 'da favor." he replied. She looked a little surprised before moving to touch her lips inquisitively.
"Ah guess yah are." she replied smiling wider. Remy chuckled. The two southern friends were silent for a little while longer until Rogue looked back up at Remy. He could tell she was trying to say something. "Ah don't think Ah eva' really thanked yah." she finally said. He looked at her confused.
"Fo' what, petite?" he asked. She smiled sweetly before slowly leaning up and kissing him lightly and sweetly on the lips. She pulled away only to find herself resisting the urge to laugh out loud at the dumb founded look on his face. She moved closer resting her head on his shoulder.
"Everything." she whispered into his ear before continuing to dance. Remy smiled lightly as she rested her head on his shoulder. How did he get so lucky? However it happened he knew he had to choose this moment, this perfect moment of contentment.
