To the Readers keeping up with the story or for those who have just stumbled upon this story know that I try to update as soon as possible. My goal is to have 3-4 chapters a week or so. This story is unfolding on the spot when I write it so yes I am in a way improvising. I don't know exactly how I'm going to end (but know thats its nowhere there yet, the story is barely beginning) it but I have a pretty good idea. Feel free to put your feedback; it is my first story so don't expect it to be flawless. Thank you and Enjoy!

Chapter 4

They reached the Danger Room.

"I believe we haven't had a proper introduction, Chere, the name be Remy Lebeau, at your service" He gave her a small wink and reached for her gloved hand to kiss it.

Rogue saw him reaching for her hand and quickly jumped back startled and uneasy. She had a look of horror in her face.

"I'm sorry Chere, didn't mean to startle you or notin', don't worry, Remy doesn't bite" he flirted.

"You don't understand! You can't touch meh!" retrieving her hands into her chest.

"So I see, you're one of those germaphobic people?" He smirked moving in closing to her.

"No yah dummy! You can't touch me unless you want me to put you ina comma!"

"So yer a feisty one, I like it rough, not going to lie" said Remy with a devilish grin backing her into a wall until her back was against it.

"Ugh you perv! What ah mean is that you can't touch me without meh draining your powers and memories!" she yelled desperately not knowing why exactly she was yelling at him.

"Chere, toutes mes excuses, I apologize, I didn't know. So you saying Remy can't even hold that lovely hand of yours ever?" he pouted.

"Ah can't make any skin to skin contact, that's why ah have to wear these gloves"

So that's why she's so covered up.

"So what yer sayin is that Remy still has a chance to maybe have the privilege to hold that beautiful hand of yours?" He gave her a flirtatious look and flashed her a perfect smile leaning even closer to her.

Even when ah just told him about mah powers he's still so close to me! Others would have immediately jumped back, shoot, even ran fo their lives! But this one hasn't (She blushed and Remy noticed).

"Listen, Swamp rat, ah aint one of them girls that fall into your game so back off, I'm not impressed by you! (she lied) Now lemme give you the damn code so ah can get out of here!" she punched in the 7 digit code while Remy watched, keeping track of the numbers so he wouldn't forget.

Rogue angrily started heading for the elevator when Remy managed to slip in before the doors closed. Rogue was furious at the nerve he had.

"listen Rogue, I didn't mean to invade your space and ah am not trying to suck you into mah game or anythin' like that bien? I'm just trying to maybe get to know you petite. That is all, Remy apologizes again if he made yah feel uncomfortable but know that yer powers don't bother me at all"

"yer powers don't bother me at all?" did he really just say that? Most guys that have hit on me ended up being scared of me after me tellin em about what mah powers can do! (She closed her eyes at the thought that she had found someone that didn't mind her cursed powers) No Rogue! You can't get attached or anythin' he'll end up hurting ya or worse you might end up hurting him.

The Cajun waited for a response from this southern belle and became worried that he had crossed the line. Not exactly the way he wanted to make a first impression, but he realized that he did come off as some sort of "man whore" .

Dammit Remy, why you gotta be so stupid at times (Never has he questioned his way of approaching ladies, they all fell to his feet but this one was different) Somehow he felt attracted to her not just physically (He scanned her one more time and was mesmerized by her classic beauty, her Goddess like body, and her emerald green eyes that hypnotized him) He knew he had to make her his own despite her powers. He wasn't just attracted to her physically but for the first time in his life, Remy actually wanted to get to know a woman rather than his usual one night stand with them. I don't care if her powers can put me in a comma, I just want to get closer to this femme, I want to get to know her.

There was silence is the elevator although the tension was wearing off. As soon as the doors opened, Rogue left quickly making her way back upstairs to her room. Remy watched her as she walked away and disappeared.

Five minutes later….

"Hey Gambit, the boys are going to a bar, want to join?" Bobby yelled from on top of the stairs.

Gambit looked up and thought about it. Hmm it's a Friday night and Remy has nothing else to do.

"Why not?" was Gambit's response.

Rogue entered her room and shut the door behind her, she stood there for a moment 'till she snapped out of her trance and threw herself on the bed. She stared at the roof thinking about what happened outside the Danger Room.

Why am ah still thinking 'bout him? He clearly just wants somebody to fool around with him that is all (she grew sad) or maybe he just wants to prove that he can have any type of girl even if the girl is untouchable (the sadness was turned into anger) I bet that's what that damn swamp rat is planning, to be able to glorify in his achievements of conquering the untouchable Rogue. Well screw him dammit!

Flushed with anger Rogue decided to ignore Remy even though she knew deep inside her she felt something for him, she wanted to know the person behind those crimson eyes. She shook the thought and headed for the bathroom. She still looked flawless but decided to retouch her make up. She glanced at the clock; it was only 4 o' clock, three more hours 'till she would go with storm, jean and kitty to a café. To pass the time, she grabbed a book and laid on her bed trying to ignore Remy but every time she turned the page her mind would wonder back to her and Remy outside the Danger Room. She could still recall the warmth she felt as he backed her against the wall. His smile sent shivers down her spine and his crimson eyes liquefied her mind. She put the book down, she couldn't concentrate she'd been just staring at the pages without actually reading them. She glanced at the clock it was 5:30, she headed to her closet and decided she might as well get ready and change into more casual clothing. She picked out some black jeans, white v neck and a tan jacket. She admired herself in the mirror and decided she looked nice. She looked under her bed for her tan boots struggling to reach one of them. Rogue looked at her short tight leather gloves, she didn't like putting them on when she was by herself, she didn't find the need to, it's not like she could absorb herself. 6:15, Rogue desperately wanted time to go faster so she could leave and stop thinking about Remy. Have I fallen for the Cajun? She thought to herself. You can't Rogue, you just can't.

Just then her thoughts were interrupted by a knock on her door. Could it be Remy?

"Rogue its Kitty, can I come in?"

Rogue was surprised at her disappointment when she heard Remy wasn't the one at the door.

"Yea, common in Kitty"

"You ready Rogue? Storm told me to get you and see if you were ready. I'm guessing you are?

Rogue smiled, "yea ah'm ready Kitty lets go" before Rogue could walk out of room she looked on her bed where her gloves laid and the mere thought of not being to touch a being brought gloom and sadness. Kitty noticed.

"You ok Rogue? If you aren't feeling well we could postpone it you know"

"No, no kitty am fine see? " She smiled, "now lets go ah am hungry!"

They met up with the others and drove away in Jean's red luxurious ride.

"Glad you could join us Gambit, now tell us, what exactly can your powers do?" Colossus said before taking a drink from his beer.

The rest of the guys, Scott, Kurt, Logan, and Bobby were quite curious to know.

"Well now, my friend Colossus, I can charge objects with kinetic energy thus making them explode upon impact. The smaller the object is the faster I can charge it the bigger it is the more time it takes to charge it" Gambit said while shuffling his cards.

All were quite impressed with Gambit's abilities.

"Well can't wait to see you in action in the Danger Room" said Scott.

Gambit smirked and turned his attention to his beer.

They all made conversation, except for Logan, he sat quietly smoking and drinking beer while listening to his teammates. With discretion, he would try to examine Gambit, he didn't like the way he stared at Rogue in the conference room. What is this Gumbo up to? He puffed smoke out of his nostrils.

Music starts playing and some couples make their way to the middle to dance. The X-men were still engaging in a conversation when a blonde approaches them. She was hot; they all stared at her enormous breasts that were ready to burst from her tank top. She put an arm around Gambit and all the boys stared at him. She had targeted Gambit as soon as he entered the bar.

"Hey babe, would you be a dear and share this dance with me?" she asked seductively as she brushed a streak of brown hair out of his eyes.

"I'm sorry chere, I'm afraid not"

"and why is that? She purposedly brushed her breasts on his back.

"I'm just not interested. I just came to have a good time with my Hommes and drink beer"

The rest of the guys just intensely stared at them both just waiting to see what happens next.

"You're a fucking jerk you know that? ANY GUY HERE would give anything to even just have a dance with me! How dare you reject me you fucking asshole. You will regret this!" she was about to throw her drink at him when he stopped her by taking control of her wrist.

"Now listen Chere, why don't you ask someone else then if you are capable of having any guy here cause obviously this man here doesn't want your trashy ass" he took the drink off her hands and watched her as she furiously left cursing everybody around her.

"vat just happened?" Kurt asked in amazement to the spectacle that just took place in front of his face.

"Wow, Gambit, amazing how girls just keep attacking you, how do you do it?" Bobby asked almost yelling "show me your ways I'm desperate!"

"Calm down Bobby, compose yourself and have some dignity" Logan grunted.

"tis just practice and knowing the way of the femmes, mon ami, but you gotta let them down easy or hard sometimes when they try to spill drinks on you" Remy laughed continuing to shuffle his cards.

Throughout the course of night Gambit kept attracting the attention of all the women there at the bar, some of them brave enough to give him their number promising him a good time (if you know what they mean) but Remy didn't want to seek any women because he already had one in his mind, his southern belle Rogue. That beautiful femme, how I wish I could be with her right now, If only she'd give Remy another chance.

It was getting late; they paid their tab and decided to head back to the mansion. Before leaving the bar, the Blonde that made a fool of herself glared at Gambit one last time. Gambit simply winked at her and laughed making her furious and curse at him.

Gambit then spotted a man selling roses on the side of the street just outside a small candy shop across from the bar and made his way there.

"Buenanotte mon ami, how much for a dozen of roses?"

"20 dollars my good man" replied the old man

"Give me 2 dozen then" Remy pulled out forty dollars and paid the man.

He headed back to the guys who were standing outside the car waiting for him.

"You giving those flowers to that one Blondie back at the bar?" Kurt joked.

"Non mon ami, 'tis be for a very special femme" Remy said with a radiant smile.

All the guys were curious to know who this woman was, was it someone from the mansion? If so, who? Only Logan had an idea of who it was and cursed him inside his mind. I don't want him close to her, he's bad news, I can smell it on him (Logan thought to himself)

They all got in the car and drove back to the mansion making a stop at a burger place to grab a bite before they arrived. Even though Gambit was quite distant and not very opening to the others they all had a good time. Remy didn't remember the last time he had a good time not just banging some girl senseless but actually spending some time with men just drinking, eating, and talking. He began to notice the change in him, he WANTED to change, to erase his past and sins he committed. Now the only thing that mattered to him was to keep his loyalty to the X-men and win the heart of his southern belle, Rogue.
