Entry number eight:
A night to forget.
I am so beyond mortified.
I just wish that I could like, crawl into a hole, and like... die. Or disappear. Or both.
So, you're all wondering how the dake went after my last message, right? Here's a clue. AWFUL.
Okay, so I get back to the table... and everything's going fine! Gambit and I are having a nice, friendly conversation, we ate dinner... and the desert came... and I'm thinking he's not going to show up at all... when in strolls 'the mark'. (That's Lance. Not a guy named Mark. I don't even know any guys named Mark.) His little, blonde eye candy dangling off his arm all like... whatever. Gambit tells me to relax and gives me this little wink that totally made my ovaries skip a beat. (LMAO... I heard that on a show and it made me laugh. I don't really get it...) So sure enough, Lance notices us. And I can totally see the jealousy burning in his eyes as soon as he catches sight of Remy. At that very moment, I swear I could hear a chorus of angels singing. I was sure we'd done it!
Lance wraps his arm around her stupid tiny waist as their led to their table, and (Oh my gosh, I'm getting all flush just remembering this part) Remy scoots around the booth to sit right next to me... he drapes his arm around my shoulder, and then he starts whispering in my ear! Oh good lord, the things he whispered... he said it was just to make sure I blushed... I friggin' blushed alright. So of course, I giggle. And glance over to where they were sitting. The look on Lances face was perfect. I wish we could have just stood up, and left right then. But nooo... that would be too simple for ole Kitty! When I looked back, he had his tongue down little miss things throat... (BARF) major PDA, I'm talking like... borderline soft core here.
Remy saw the look on my face, and -bless his heart- told me not to look. He told me that Lance was just doing it to make me jealous, and that if he saw me looking he'd know he won. So I looked away, and he tried to distract me with some conversation. That's a good idea, right?! So he tells me I can ask him anything, with that little smirk of his... and so I ask him why he and Rogue don't get along. He grins this big, cheeseburger grin and tells me that maybe it's all just a big act to hide their secret love affair. Which obviously, made me start to laugh. Remy leaned in to my ear and told me to look at Lance, who was GLARING at us. Oh my gosh, it was amazing! The feeling of victory!!! So with this like, big smile on my face I pop a chocolate covered strawberry into my mouth, all seductive like, right? (We've all seen it done in the movies like, a thousand times...) And then this is where it all starts going downhill.
I slip the chocolate covered strawberry in my mouth, and take a bite. Gambit smiles and tells me I have chocolate on my lip. I go to wipe it off and he stops me, grabbing my hand and looking past me, explaining that Lance was watching. He tells me not to worry about the chocolate, he'll take care of it. Before I have a chance to even think of what the hell is going on, he leans in and... yes... kisses me! I'm in so much friggin' shock, that I gasp - with the bit of strawberry still in my yap mind you - and totally inhale the chunk of strawberry.
So... now I'm choking. Which, is completely un-sexy... fyi. And Gambit starts to like, panic, still trying to look all suave to save face for me. He pats my back and tells me that I'm like, turning blue. (Like I can help it...) And then that's when the waitress notices me. She rips me up out of my seat, dropping her tray on the floor with a huge crash, so that if no one noticed me before, they would have to be blind AND deaf to not notice now, and she proceeds to to the Heimlich maneuver on me.
In the middle of the freaking restaurant.
Obviously, I finally coughed it up. Mortified doesn't even begin to describe how I felt... and Remy promptly asks for the check and puts my coat around my shoulders. He tells me he's sorry, asks if I'm okay... I just ask him if Lance noticed. (Oh my gosh, stupid question of the year award goes to...) His frown was answer enough... so I turned around to sneak a peek at them. The two of them were laughing. LAUGHING AT ME. I could have died! I wish I did...
I didn't say anything the entire way home. I can't even have a good FAKE DATE, what the hell is wrong with me?! I didn't even want to acknowledge anyone when I got home, I just ran up to my room and locked myself in. I am such a massive moron. Rogue comes up ever like, 10 minutes, pounding on the door, pleading for me to let her in. I don't know if Gambit told her what happened yet, but I just can't bare the embarassment right now.
My life is over! :'(
