Chapter 4
It was still early, very early, but Rogue could already hear the shower running. Rogue decided not to think much of it, Kitty had apologized heartily and Rogue and accepted the apology, but she still didn't want to be anywhere near Kitty when she was so edgy. For all Rogue knew Kitty might punch her again.
Rogue raised herself on her elbows and just sat enjoying the warm August sun. She didn't want to think about what today was but at the same time she didn't want to think about Remy again, she had already spent hours of that already. But in the end thoughts of Remy seemed more pleasant than school.
She fell back to her pillow and smiled, remembering how his arms felt around her, and how she wished they were around her at the moment. There were no words she could think of to describe his body, it was just so amazing!!!
But she also knew there was more to him than just his looks, he was the only guy who knew about her powers and still wasn't afraid to touch her. It was dangerous and Rogue knew it, but she just couldn't help herself to his charms.
Yes, she had once had a macho crush on Scott, who was sweet and brother like to her, but he hadn't understand her the way Remy did. They both had similar pasts; she and Remy both had step parents who had tried using their powers for some sort of advantage, leaving the family relationship rather unpleasant. Plus they were also both from the south and Rogue just couldn't resist a good old southern boy, even though he was very cocky.
It had been more than a week since they were alone in the danger room, things were too hectic around the Institute to try and speak to him. Not only were the students acting up, but a serious threat had been made again the Institute and the trainers were all on patrol duty. The Professor would not state who had made the threat or what it was exactly, but it still seemed rather scary. Remy and Storm had the evening to morning shift, meaning that he needed the daytime for rest and Rogue found that she hated not seeing him.
But the other night as Rogue was getting ready for bed she looked out her window at the grounds and saw to pairs of red eyes starring up at her from the Institute fence, they winked at her, and though she couldn't see it, she was sure he was smirking. Rogue responded by sticking her tongue out for a long moment and throwing her curtains shut.
She couldn't help but smile as she jumped into bed and she continued to smile till she fell into a deep sleep.
Once again Rogue smiled and began to drift off into sleep when her door flew open, sending her jumping about five feet off the bed, "First day of school! Wake up!" shouted Bobby who was standing in the doorway in his pajamas and arms outstretched.
"Get lost ya little brat!" Rogue screamed walking to the door and slamming it into is annoying little freshman face.
Rogue looked to the clock and it said 6:30, her turn for the bathroom.
Rogue went over to the bathroom door and knocked, "Kitty, its six thirty, ya done yet?"
"No," was Kitty's response.
"Well Kit ah really need to get in the shower, could ya hurry it up?"
"What do you need it for Rogue, not like you care what you look like, I gotta look amazing."
Rogue was getting agitated, "As a matter of ah do care what ah look like! Now get out of there or ah will knock this door down and rip ya a new one!"
There was no answer but Rogue stood there waiting, it was already 6:40. "Shit!" shouted Rogue, grabbing her book bag, clothes, a towel, and a tooth brush, "Looks like LeBeau is getting a little wake up call," she said running for the Cajun's room.
Remy was just getting out of the shower when he heard frantic knocking at the door. He took a towel and wrapped it around his waist, the knocking grew louder and faster.
"Hang on a moment mon ami," said Remy as he walked out of the bathroom to the door. He was completely surprised to see Rogue standing before him in her nightgown, but he hid it with a smirk.
"Well cherie couldn't resist dis Cajun, non?" he asked.
"No," she snapped practically running past him to the bathroom and slamming the door behind her.
"Kitty won't get out of the shower and ah got like twenty minutes till ah gotta get to school!" Remy heard her say before he heard the sound of running water.
Remy went over to his drawer and pulled out a pair of old jeans and a white t-shirt and began to change, he was unable to get the image of Rogue in her short black clingy nightdress out of his head. Then her curly hair had had that bed head look to it and he couldn't help but wonder if it would look like that were she to wake up next to him one morning.
As Remy was fantasizing about Rogue waking up next to him Rogue was in the shower getting over the initial shock of seeing Remy when he had opened the door. She hadn't shown it but when she saw him in a towel, water running down his muscles, his hair straight and wet, a chill of excitement ran up her spin, even Scott's six pack couldn't compare to Remy's.
Once out of the shower Rogue went to the sink, brushed her teeth, applied some lipstick and eyeliner, and finally she got dressed. She chose a pair of dark blue jeans and a dark red long sleeved v-neck silk shirt that held tight to her skin. She put on a brand new pair of leather gloves then observed herself in the mirror, "Not too bad," said Rogue, ignoring the fact that her hair was still soaked.
When she stepped out of the bathroom Remy was lying on his bed, head rested against the headboard, smirking yet again.
"You were takin' an awfully long time in dere cherie, Remy thought he would have to come in and see what da hold up was," he chuckled.
"Well it's a good thing Remy didn't or he woulda gotten his ass kicked!" Rogue snapped.
She looked over to his clock and it said 7:25, she was too late, everyone always left at 7:15.
"How am ah gonna get to school!" Rogue exclaimed, panic in her voice.
She hadn't noticed that Remy was holding a set of keys in his hand till he stood and twirled them around his finger, "I can solve dat one beau, care for a ride?"
"Swamp rat I could kiss you right now!" she said grabbing her bag and taking off out the door, Remy smiled, then took off after her.
Once they were in the garage Rogue stopped not quite sure which car was his. To her surprise he went over to a motorcycle. She couldn't help but smile, she loved motorcycles! And Remy's was a big black one with the ace of spades imprinted on the side/
"You like cheire?" he asked setting himself on the seat.
"Hell yes!" Rogue cried jumping on behind him, throwing her back pack on her back and settling herself at a comfortable distance from him.
Remy put the keys into the ignition, "Now this ain't gonna work cherie!" he yelled back to her. "Remy go way to fast, you gotta wrap your arms around him!"
"We'll see about that Cajun," she said, "ah' ain't touchin ya unless I'm forced to!"
"Alright den," said Remy who took off out of the garage, they weren't even past the gate before Rogue wrapped her arms tightly around his waist.
They pulled in front of Bayville High just as the five minute bell went off.
Rogue jumped off the bike, secretly wishing they could ride around longer. She had spent the whole time admiring his muscles under her hands and denying his accusations about how she enjoyed Remy's ride, when really it was the most fun she had in a long time. But she forced herself to look away from him and walk toward the school.
She didn't get too far before she felt something grab her hand, she turned to see Remy at full height starring down at her, she would've given anything to be able to wrap her arms around his neck and kiss him. But the thought soon disappeared as she heard the three minute bell go off.
"Ah gotta go Remy," Rogue said, not as harshly as she meant to.
"I know cherie, just wanted to give ya a little goodbye kiss," he said kissing the top of her head.
When he looked down at her she was blushing and smiling, "Ah take it ya gonna pick me up swamp rat," she said.
"Course cherie," said Remy.
"Later then sugah," said Rogue pulling away from Remy and running as fast as she could to the Science wing.
