Chapter four time. Thanks for all who read this. I do love feedback and knowing that people do like my stories. Thanks for reading these chapters. I know it might not always be the most fun thing to do, but I thank you.
Cally woke up gently, her head buried lightly in her pillow. She pushed herself to her knees, looking at her wall. She sighed. Another day was beginning. Fun, she thought. Then she started to remember her dream. Oh God. I have to live with those two now. Ok, that's it. I know who I love. Remy will just have to live. I love Lance. I know that, she said to herself. She looked around her room once before getting out of bed completely. She went to her bathroom, going to look in the mirror, then she remembered how she had smashed it the other night. She sighed in defeat and just grabbed her hairbrush, brushing through her hair as she walked down the stairs, pulling it back into a nice ponytail. She went through the door of the rec room, looking to all the guys. "Morning guys," she said lightly. All of the guys' heads turned to her. Lance all but jumped out of his chair, automatically putting an arm around her.
"Hey Cal, feeling better?" he asked. The other guys looked on with worry. If Lance was asking if Cally was ok, there was definitely something wrong. Cally nodded with a slight smile on her lips. Lance gave a sigh of relief and kissed her temple. "Good, I'm glad."
Remy looked upon the happy couple, slightly jealous. Why hadn't he gone to go take care of her? He mentally kicked himself, knowing that the jealousy he felt was his and his alone. "I'm glad you're feeling better Cally. I'm sorry I didn't come to help," he apologized, looking down in embarrassment.
Cally's smiled disappeared. "Don't feel bad because of me. It's not your fault. It was a one time thing. Don't worry yourself over it," Cally said with a half smile. In truth, she had wanted both men by her side. But she could live with just the one. She looked up at Lance, putting a hand on his cheek that was facing away from her. She pulled his face to hers, kissing him lightly. She was standing on her tiptoes, fitting perfectly in his arms.
"Whoooooo," the couple heard both Pietro and Toad say, drawing it out as long as possible. Cally pulled down from Lance, leaving him in utter shock and almost chasing her lips.
"Now, now boys. If you want that action for yourself, you'll have to either make out with each other or find yourselves girlfriends," Cally said grinning. Remy looked on with slight disgust. She was showing off. And Lance knew how Remy felt, but was being oblivious.
Damn that boy! Remy thought. First he asks out the girl that I truly like, or maybe even love, and now he's dangling her in front of my face!
Cally looked over at Lance. "I should probably be getting ready for the day, baby. I'll see you in a bit, alright?" Lance nodded to her, watching her hips sway as she left.
Damn, I got lucky. If only Gambit would stop ogling at my girl. Lance thought. He was getting really pissed that Remy kept staring at Cally. Lance knew that Remy had liked her because of a letter Lance had gotten a few weeks prior to Remy's return. Lance had decided to keep this particular bit of information from his girlfriend. The last thing Lance needed was another broken heart, not that he thought Cally would leave him. He trusted her enough for that. But even so, Lance was still a bit rough on the edges when it came to love and he had had enough problems of late. He could never be too careful when it came to this stuff.
"Hey, guys," Pietro started, "we should go out today. Just guys." Lance rolled his eyes.
"Good God, Pietro. We did that yesterday," Lance said, almost smacking Pietro on the back of the head. His arm was caught by soft, gloved hands.
Lance turned to see Cally behind him. "Don't Lance. I think it's a good idea. I have some stuff to do here anyways. Plus, I was going to watch a movie. Nothing you guys would be interested in," she said calmly, looking to all four boys. "You boys behave," she said in a silk tone.
Lance turned to the other guys. "You guys pile in the jeep," he said, keeping his keys in his hands. "I'm driving, so don't even try it," he told Toad as the hopping mutant tried to grab Lance's keys.
"Well, fine then. Come on guys," Toad said. Remy sulked out of the door while Pietro was already out at the car and Toad hopped out from the house.
As soon as they were all out, Lance turned back to Cally. "Finally, a moment for just the two of us," he muttered lustfully.
"Don't even thinking about it, Lance. For one, you aren't getting out of this and two, you aren't getting that far with me. Especially not so soon," Cally said, putting her fingertips over his lips.
Lance groaned. "But you're so irresistible and sexy and flirty. It's not my fault I can't help myself," Lance countered, pulling her close to him.
"Now, now, Lance. Behave yourself. I have stuff to do and you have a guys' day to attend. Now go!" Cally said, shooing him away. Lance kissed her quickly before heading out the door, looking back at her quickly.
Ok, so it's not one of my longer chapters but my poor laptop is dying. I'll write about the guys day and what Cally is doing for tomorrow. R&R if you would.
