Chapter 4: Fake?
After Gambit and I decided to do whatever it took to set me free, we began to make a series of plans. We had to make it obvious that I seemed head over heels for Gambit, but not obvious enough to seem fake and make up. We decided that it would be best for us to both pretend that we were hiding an instant and deeply passionate love affair but leave clues for Magneto and the others to find.
After planning our schemes for tonight at dinner, when everyone was suppose to be home (Since Magneto decided to sleep in the castle while I was there and be there during the evening to see how I was doing. He normally lived else where) we began to walk back.
Gambit grabbed a handful of tiny light leaves and made them glow in the palm of his hand. He brought them down to my face and said "Blow" as the shine of the leaves glimmered on my face. I giggled because I had a dirty mind and blew on the leaves sending them away from us and exploding in tiny little fireworks. They were beautiful, little explosions. Lighting up and turning into a burst of flame and light. Maybe I was just a pyro, maybe I just liked to see stuff blow up, but what Gambit could do seemed like artwork to me.
Gambit smiled widely at the child like enjoyment I took from his little display and took up a small grainy bit of dust like dirt in his hand. Each little particle lit up and he blew it softly above my head. Over my head the tiny bits made mini explosions and fell like sparkles over me. It was so beautiful. It was like I was in a little land of fireworks and sparkles. But the most beautiful part was Gambit as the center piece of my sparkle land. Throwing up this dust to give me this world, he didn't look like he really fit in.
Gambit was so dark looking. His eyes a piercing red with black around them, looking so demon like, but with a regular yet ruggedly handsome face. The long trench coat and a beating stick; the rugged hair and facial hair I thought he wore so well; none of this dark, villain like man belonged in a sparkle world, my world. But to me, he looked so beautiful there… so.. Incredibly sexy. He may not have been prince charming, but I always thought the villain was hotter anyway.
He threw up more dirt and got in the sparkles with me, grabbing me around my waist. "What are you doing?" I asked trying to make sure that we didn't act like a couple while still on regular terms. "Doing? What ever you talking about, eh?" Gambit said as innocently as he could. But it was too late to try to pull away, the hormones let loose by the physical contact where already blocking out my brain waves.
I gave in and put my arms around him. His back was so muscular, so pleasing hard to the touch. Gambit put his chin on top of my head a smelled my hair. "Mhhmm" He murmured. "Sheri, you smell like coconuts" he said holding me tighter. I buried my head in his chest. He smelled like a hint of cologne, just perfect.
"Ohh, n-no" I said digging deep within myself. I knew where this lead.
"Oh, yes Sheri. I'm sorry you're just impossible to resist." Gambit said sadly letting me go. "Come on its getting late," I said realizing I; the prisoner was telling my guard that it was time to go back to prison. "Oh non, already? Okay Sheri." He said as we slowly walked back.
When we got back the act was on. We planted some evidence and I put on a unique shade of pink lip stick. I smudged a little smear of it on the corner of Gambit's lip. Then I sprayed my perfume on myself and Gambit. We were set.
Soon everyone got home from school and Gambit and I greeted them trying not to look at each other. "Haha! How was baby sitting Kiya, Gambit?" said Lance jokingly nudging him.
"Ya, ya, she been naughty or nice?" Toad teased.
The boys laughed, "Yeah as if a perfect ten like Kiya would do anything with Gambit." Pietro laughed.
Gambit laughed uneasily, never looking in my direction.
Lance looked at Gambit a moment. "Hey where's the usual calm cool Cajun? You look all nervous?" Lance said suspiciously. His nostrils twitched a little. "Come here" Lance said.
"N-no…" Gambit said pulling away.
Lance grabbed him and smelled his shirt. "No way…. NO WAAAAY! Holly shit! You smell like girl, and the only girl you've seen today is Kiya" Lance said in astonishment.
There was an echo of "No way!" s and "Nu-uh!" s. Pietro, quick as a bullet appeared behind me, smelling my neck as I was backing away from the group.
"Oh, well, well, well! She's been naughty!" Pietro said with enthusiasm, twirling me around to get a better look. He looked me over in analysis, then to Gambit. Pietro quickly wiped the corner of Gambit's lip, before Gambit could swat him away. He then, at a normal speed took a little bit of my lip stick and compared them on his two fingers. He smiled and showed them, like a grand detective solving the juiciest case of the centaury, to the group.
"Ooooooooh!" said the Blob in a ridiculously loud voice.
"Oh snap! The Toad never had a chance!" said the Toad.
"How far does she go Gambit?" Lance said laughing but also looking for confirmation.
"Why, what do ya mean Monome?" Gambit said innocently, like he didn't understand what was going on.
"Ha-Ha, y-y-yeah w-we didn't sleep together or anything!" I laughed nervously but then quickly gasped and covered my mouth.
"Kiya! No! Magneto will murder me!" Gambit said in great fear.
"Oh, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry. Love, I didn't mean to…" I said sputtering nervously.
There was another commotion of mixed things that could basically be summed up into "Oh damn! Oh no way! You two, for real!"
"Guys, guys, please don't tell Magneto… He will kill me fer interferin with her…" Gambit pleaded.
"Oh we'll keep quite. That is if…. If you do all our laundry for the rest of the year" Lance said mischievously, winking at me. This, Gambit obviously did not appreciate, in our act and out side of it.
"Anything. I will do anything to keep him safe!" I said trying my best to impersonate twilight. Gambit nodded and the deal was made.
After they were through teasing Gambit endlessly over it and had went off to do their own thing, Gambit left too, in order to keep with the plan. I walked toward my room and was about to enter when I felt Pietro's face smelling my neck sensually. "Rather convenient isn't it?" Pietro said lightly tracing the contours of my neck.
"Wha-what are you talking about?" I sputtered as he nudged me in the door and shut it.
"Oh don't you play dumb 4.5GPA" Pietro said pressing me against the door with his sleek body. "Is it not convenient that you suddenly fall in love with a person who just kidnapped you? Magneto and I have researched all about you, prodigy. He will never believe you like those fools just because a little trick or two. Ha, you the do-gooder. The environmentalist. Voted most likely to succeed! The morally bound woman who is all about waiting for sex, so pro abstinence, all about women empowerment! This woman is going to fall in love with her kidnaper and have sex with him the second day she knows him? Oh I think not" Pietro said stroking my furious, red hot cheeks.
I held back my response, thinking of how to play this when he said "Yes, fairly clever though. I Know Magneto is very adamant to kill you if he is not convinced of your loyalty. Maybe his greed for your power will over power his precautions for protecting everyone. Hmmm. What should I do with this information?" Pietro said putting a finger to his mouth thoughtfully.
He was waiting for me to respond to his claims. But I would not. Not until he told me what he was wanting from this. He laughed a little "Well I could be loyal to my father and tell him… Or…" He grabbed my waist and pressed me even harder against him. "I could not tell… Go along with your little plan. Act totally caught up in it, believing everything and help you two. Who knows why Gambit went along with this though? It is a life or death situation; maybe you really did give him some encouragement?" Pietro said putting his hands on my butt and squeezing them warmly. I squeaked in astonished embarrassment and fury. "Or you didn't, I didn't think you did." He said removing his hands. "Just wanted to check, but you're obviously a virgin" He laughed.
"Yeah, or just wanted to touch my butt!" I said furiously.
"Ha, maybe that too. Ah, if I was a bad guy…." Pietro said tracing the bones in my chest and looking lustingly down at the curves of my body. He then snapped himself out of it, "Ha but, I'm not that bad. You don't have to do anything for me, I won't tell" He smiled.
"So that whole scare was just to touch my butt and find out if I was a virgin" I said nearly fuming with rage, yet relief at the same time.
"Course, your part of the team now. I'll even help you with Magneto." Pietro said smiling deviously.
"Pietro!" I said smiling, but still with an angry voice.
"Hahaha, I knew I read you right. Oh and you got a real nice ass suckaa!" Pietro said and was out the door in a flash.
