Chpt.4 Bride's Maid
"Gambit we need ta go shopp'n."
"No."
"But Kitty's goin ta torture me. Can you take her wit you."
"I thought ya liked Kitty."
"I do…but I hate shopp'n wit 'er. Please Remy."
"I luv ya doll…but not tat much. 'Sides, don't ya got ta fit the dresses?"
"Damn." Rogue huffed. She was NOT looking forward to this. Kitty was practically her best friend, but shopping with her was another story. Sadly, taking her car keys off the counter and contemplating suicide and pleading once again unsuccessfully to Gambit she rounded up the girls (Storm, Kitty,Jean) to go with her to the mall.
As she drove them all (safetly) to the mall she kept restating herself, "Now ta be clear ladies we jus look'n not buy'n or shopp'n or anythand like tat ya hear?"
"Just looking, got it." They all chanted back their answer again as they pulled up and entered Stacey's. At Stacey's they all split up. Rogue casually looked at the dresses and noted their color. She thought that reds would clash with Jean's hair, yellow would look strange on Kitty, and silver would make Storm look to good, it was her wedding after all. Standing by a mint dress she felt a hand tug at her shoulder.
"Rogue look at the pink dresses!" Reluctantly, Rogue turned and saw at least twenty different shades of pink. Trying hard to contain a groan she pretended to seem interested. Picking up the tinkle me pink one, eying it, and then picking up a rose colored one. Then put them down.
"Rogue you should try this one on!"
"But their bride's maid dresses, not the bride's dress."
"Oh come on try it on for me."
"Are ya kid'n I'm like a foot taller than ya."
Pushing Rogue towards the dressing room, "But how will I know if I like it if I can't see it on any one."
"Tat's not wat ya say bout..," she took a deep breath and feigned renewed enthusiasm, "You're right!" Within under a fourth of an hour she tried on nearly all of the pink dresses and while Kitty was playing dress up with Rogue, Rogue was slowly starting to lose her mind. In the dressing room she called Gambit, "Help me. I can't take it anymore."
"Rogue it's ok, we hav'n a good time."
"Noi listen ta me! She's crazy. She got me tryin on all the brides maids dresses and I swear if I see another pink gress or pump ima gona strangle her."
"Nice to hear ta ya hav'n fun."
"Gambit please come get her. Distract her somehow. Don't ya still got Pete's number?"
"I rather not have em nowhere near ya."
"Not for me, for Kitty she like em."
"Maybe if ya aski nicely."
"Gambit, im beggin already!"
"Wrong answer." He said and hung up on her. Thankfully Storm had found a few ice blue dresses and Jean some green one's to try on which kept Kitty busy trying them on. Happily they made it to the next store, but Rogue's spirit dampened when the front display held even more pink dresses. Kitty ran at them like a kid on Christmas. BBy the end of the day they'd all been to Stacey's, Frillards, TC Jenny's, Peers, Ninth and Jax, and FI (Flirty Ones). Unfortunately for Rogue Kitty had her try on all the pink dresses and pumps the mall had to offer. Keeping in mind that these dresses weren't for her, but for her maids.
[HOME] sound of door being slammed
"Sounds like Rogue's home." Gambit smiled. His shopping trip went smoothly except for that nagging feeling that he was being watched. Running to the staircase he saw Rogue stride towards the kitchen.
"Sow how did it go." He smiled gently closing the doors behind them. Breaking the glass in her hand, "It went great jus great." She yelled sarcastically reaching for another glass and breaking that one too.
"was it really tat bad." He sad grabbing a glass for her and filling it with orange juice.
"I don't want that juice no more." She sneered and turned away from him.
"Look it will all be fine, sides I know a way to make you relax." He said turning her towards him and letting the full force of his eyes bore into her. Rogue started to blush but getting find the will power to look away.
"You can kiss me ya know." He said pulling a piece off hair from the front of her eyes. And Rogue knew she could. Would she really hurt him? After all the times he has touched her he has managed a sort of endurance. Instead of being knocked out three or so hours it now only lasted thirty minutes. So ok maybe one kiss wouldn't hurt. She bent towards him and he was about to close the distance when…
"I hope I'm not interrupting anything." Kitty said and Rogue tensed, "Wait till Logan sees this hehehe."
"See what." Logan asked as he turned the corner. It took every ounce of his love for Rogue and Christian values not to kill Gambit. Of course he did promise Rogue that he would not arm the stupid Cajun, but he couldn't stop the pulsating veins and the impulsive snarl that slipped through his lips.
"Now Logan didn't ya promise er ya wouldn't harm me."
"Keep your pants on grandma I was just getting a stake…for the grill."
Gambit smiled at Logan than proceeded to roughly grab Rogue's but. Her face was red for an instant and she was about to punch him but he pulled her so close that flailing her arms wouldn't hurt him. Ely forgetting that kitty and Logan were in the room he looked back at them. Kitty's back faced them and Logan's expression was priceless. After all Logan deserved this. Even when him and Rogue were dating Logan went out of his way to ruin things, but they still managed to find their way back to each other. When was Logan going to realize that Gambit wasn't stealing Rogue away from him, but that she actually loved the Cajun.
"Oh an ta answer ya question Kitty, we're busy, very busy."
Once again sorry to take so long. Gosh it seems like Mystique is going to be the bad guy…. And that Kitty's having fun. Oh well, hoped ya liked it, please review
