Almost Lover
Chapter 3: Beer, Pranks, Kisses, and Drama.
"Humph, this is a good idea kid." Logan said taking a beer from the secret stash. "I wish I woulda' thought of it myself." A smirk plays on his lips and I swallow. Oh jeez. "Here kid, lighten up." Then he hands me a beer. For the longest moment I just stare at it. I was underage and he was offering a beer.
"That's pretty bad of you Logan."
"Huh?"
"I'm only eighteen."
"Oh… Oh right." He then pauses as if mulling something over, "Want it anyway? I ain't stupid; you knew where the stash was so you drink." Oooops, caught.
"I um… don't like beer, too bitter for my taste. I prefer the sweet stuff." I lie. I did like beer, why I lied I didn't know I just did. Maybe because I'm a light weight and getting drunk around Logan was not a good idea. Jubilee says I get very truthful and blunt when I drink.
"Suit yourself." He shrugs and carries the other beer he just offered me with him anyway. I suppress a grin, following him. "Where ya' wanna go?"
"Hm?"
"To hang out. Thought it would be good now that we have the drama out of the way."
"Ha, I'm a girl Logan, doubt that'll happen."
He raises one eyebrow before smirking that sexy smirk, "I'd say the Wreck room but I'm sure annoying children are in there and I'd rather us be alone."
Alone. He wants to be alone, with me. Oh god.
"Um, how about the Danger room?" I murmur. "As long as it's not turned on we'll be fine."
"Sounds good." Quickly we take a short detour down the hall and towards the Danger room. Once we get there, the doors slide open before closing behind us as we sat down on the cool metal floor. I stay silent as he pops open his beer, using his middle claw. Out of the corner of my eye I watch as he takes a long gulp, his Adam's apple bobbing as he did so.
"What's up?" I realize he was watching me the entire time and I feel myself turn red. Great, just great.
"Hm? Nothing, just thinking."
"Mm-hm."
"What?"
"Nothin' kid but ya' do know I can smell when someone lies… most of the time at least."
"Well I'm sorry to say your precious nose is messed up apparently."
"Really? Must be all that perfume you throw on yourself."
"Asshole." I smile though, and shove him making his beer spill a bit.
"Hey don't waste the alcohol kid that's a big no-no. Where'd you get that mouth any? What happened to my sweet Marie?" His sweet Marie? Oh lordy, lordy. Jesus helps me.
"Must be you inside of me."
"Huh?"
"Your personality, I dunno. According to everyone I have some of your traits sometimes. Like sometimes I'm a bit more impatient, mouthy, and arrogant."
"Hey I ain't arrogant."
I laugh, nudging him. "Sure you are Logan you just can't see it."
"Yeah yeah, whatever…" He grins though, making my heart melt. I had missed this so much. I hadn't even realized how much until just now. Joking, teasing each other. I really had missed that. I frown hearing a click, Logan obviously hearing the click as well.
"I know that sound…" suddenly the metal walls and floor disappears, instantly being replaced by a forest like surrounding, with animals and everything. I could even smell the grass and trees. "What is this about? End program." Logan announces but nothing happens. We both frown.
"That's weird. It's program to respond to any of the teacher's voices." I murmur deciding to go upstairs and check it. I walk towards the door but it doesn't open. What the… Frowning I place my hand on the censor and still nothing. "Ugh Logan…"
"Yeah I know, something doesn't smell right to me either." He mutters glancing around. As he does I do too, noticing something almost instantly. The animals, they were in pairs. Two birds, two deer, two squirrels. Oh crap.
"Jubilee!"
"What?" I glance at Logan realizing he hadn't noticed and I just shrug.
"Um… Nothing. I just realized this is a practical joke."
"Really? Well anyway we can get out?"
"Nah… We just have to wait till they let us out." I hear Logan let out a small growl before plopping back down onto the grassy floor, taking another swig of his beer. Sighing I sit beside him, leaning against a tree.
"I could just claw down the door." He grunts
"Hey at least it's a peaceful setting and not in the middle of a war or something. Not worth destroy property."
"True but that unnerves me too. Why would they prank us with a boring peaceful setting for no reason? Doesn't add up if you ask me." He takes another swig.
I knew the reason though, and I knew it was Jubilee behind this. Trying to get something to happen between me and Logan… that traitor. Maybe if I was lucky Gambit would find me… Or wait that might be unlucky. Suddenly I hear the crack of thunder out in the distance and Logan's frown increases.
"Well that's not good."
"Maybe if we're lucky there's a simulator cabin or cave?" I said sarcastically. Sad thing was simulator rain could and would get us wet. That sucked… Oh crap… I'm wearing a white top! Kill me!
"Let's look around-"Logan stops mid sentence to curse when rain suddenly starts pouring. I curse along with him and we stand. "And fast…" he grumbles and we head off in some random direction. However it wasn't long before we gave up hope, already soaking wet. "Whoever did this is going to suffer." Logan grumbles, his wife-beater clinging to his muscles. This is not fair!
"Calm down sugah' it's not that bad." I lie wrapping my arms around her chest, not from cold but for a whole other reason. He notices and respectfully looks away. Not like it mattered! He had already seen me bare as the day my momma' bore me! But he was trying to be a gentleman, it's cute.
"Yeah it is I feel like a pedophile." He grumbles, which makes me laugh softly.
"I am legal now Logan so technically…" I trail off stopping mid sentence. 'You could do whatever you wanted to me and not get in trouble' Fuck that was an extremely bad thought and I was happy I didn't say it out loud.
We find a big overgrown tree and sit under it, very closely might I add. Example? We're touching. Is that good enough? Because it is for me. My heart was beating rapidly and I knew I couldn't get any redder and yet I was. Oh lord. "Marie…" I look up and notice that dark look in Logan's eyes again. Fuck. "Your real red." I hear him murmur, the whole time my eyes locked on his lips.
"I-I can't help it." I swallow. "I'm real cold." It wasn't a complete lie, not really.
"Here" Suddenly his arms circle me and I swallow staring down at my hands. "Look at me Marie." I obey and I really wish I hadn't. Our faces are so close and oh fuck… he's looking at my lips.
"I have a boyfriend." I hear myself admit, like that fixed everything, like it made me not want Logan, like it would make him pull away.
"I know. And I'm hundreds of years older then you." He lowers his voice, "We're both fucked up." I note that his voice is thick before his lips are over mine.
And Oh fuck. It was heaven! I wanted to die, die right then and be happy. Because good lord I never thought he would want to kiss me. Ever. So I kiss him back, my hands finding his wet shirt and holding on tight. He kisses harder and I feel it… H-his tongue. Oh god no… I'm going to die really I am. This was just so-
"Rogue?"
Shit!
Suddenly we're completely separated, Logan off the ground, Remy's hands in the exact same place mine had just been. Except he wasn't gripping him in an attempt to get closer, now he was holding Logan full force, anger deep in his red eyes. Oh no! "Gambit-"
Not even scared Logan lifts his hands grabbing onto Remy's wrist before applying pressure, "Let go Cajun."
"You fucking touched her you disgusting bastard. I told you to leave her alone!"
What he what? When did he say that? Okay I'm confused. Majorly. But Logan can't hurt him! "Stop it! Stop it!" I snap grabbing Gambit's arms and pulling them away. "Gambit I-"
"Don't say anything." He snapped at me. I winced never ever having heard him yell at me.
"Don't get angry at her. I kissed her so just shut your yap."
"Logan." I look up to see Storm, a frown formed on her face. Oh no, and I thought things couldn't get any worse. "We need to talk." And suddenly Logan tensed up but nodded, following after her as she left.
"Rogue…" But I didn't hear Gambit I couldn't I was too busy wanting to die.
"I-I have to go." And then I ran, I ran and ran until I got to my room, locking my door before collapsing on my bed. As the hours pass I hear Gambit knock but I ignore him, I did the same with Jubilee. This was all her fault.
No.
This was all my fault.
