A.N: Thanx again for feed back! R&R!
Kitty rubbed her head with an ice pack; she had gotten hit on the head with a piece of debris from the DR and was still walking around with her uniform on. She wandered into the kitchen where Emma Frost was doing her nails. Kitty sat down and asked, "Hey what are you doing?" Emma looked up and sarcastically said, "Why? Curiosity got the cat."
Kitty glared at Emma, who had been bullying her from the start since she had been wearing a pink parka that had supposedly made her sick to her BCBG clad roots.
Jean walked in through the door and didn't acknowledge Emma, but asked to Kitty, "Kitty, have you seen Scott anywhere?" Jean rubbed her sore arms and Kitty noticed that she had a few bruises and cuts just like everyone else on her face and body.
Kitty bit her lip and said, "I haven't seen him since the DR practices."
Jean turned her head and said, "Speaking of DR practices, where were you?"
Emma sighed and said, "Must everyone know what I'm doing? I was just in the kitchen this whole time while you "X-Men" were working out. You should be thanking me for not being there really, if I were, I wouldn't have been able to give you that extensive program."
Jean glared at her, "So it was you who gave us all those hard routines! The level was over our rate, and everything was out of control! The safety wasn't even turned on! You could have gotten someone killed!"
Emma rolled her eyes and said, "Oh, Darling, please, nobody died, and besides," she said, eyeing Jean's hips, "You needed the exercise." Kitty gasped and Jean clutched her waist and went off in a huff.
Kitty opened her mouth, but Emma stopped her without even looking up, "Don't you complain now, take a look at yourself in the mirror sometime and you'll thank me. Not even filled out enough to support a full A cup."
Kitty gaped and stalked off just as Jean had.
Emma continued to color her nails. Kurt bamfed into the kitchen with Jamie clinging onto his tail.
"Oh, Kurt come on! Just give me another ride to the bathroom!"
Kurt shook the boy off and headed to the pantry. Jamie eyed Emma and started drooling a little. Kurt turned with a mouthful of mush, but his mouth was soon hanging open, and he chewed very slowly letting the contents of his mouth go on display.
Jean found Scott in the green house, watering some plants. He looked so peaceful among the plants, in his loose khaki shorts and his willowy, white polo shirt; it was a little scary, only Storm was seen like this with plants. Jean knocked on the glass wall. He snapped his attention to her and smiled. Jean smiled back and went up to him, "Which one is this one?"
Scott looked at the plant that Jean was acknowledging and said, "It's an aloe Vera plant, Jean, wow." Jean frowned and punched him in his hard stomach. "Hey, it's not like I hang around plants 24-7. What are you doing here anyway?"
Scott smiled and said, "I'm waiting for Ms. Munroe. It's become traditional; we water the plants together and kind of celebrate the blooming and sprouting of spring." Jean smirked and said, "That's weird. I always looked for you on these days, and just thought that you had probably disappeared to the DR or something." Jean couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy of the older woman's and Scott's closeness.
Jean reached for a mist sprayer and squirted Scott; he moved away and laughed, "Hey!" He reached to grab the spray, but she clasped it behind her back, making him wrap his arms around her so he could reach her back. She leaned back and stared at his face which was only inches away from hers. They were in an awkward hugging position. Scott didn't break away like he normally would; he seemed to be caught up in everything. He slowly closed the space between them, and turned his head so that his nose and glasses wouldn't knock against Jean's. Jean dropped the sprayer and closed her eyes.
Before they could even kiss, someone walked in, it wasn't Storm. Emma said with a start, "Scott, Jean was looking-"She stopped and murmured, "Oh."
Scott broke away from Jean rather quickly and jerkily, that made Jean look at him with curiosity. Scott looked down and Jean walked away from him, making sure to knock shoulders with Emma as she walked out and away from the greenhouse.
Emma smirked and walked towards Scott. She trailed her finger around his chin and said, "Don't stress about it darling, you'll get over it."
Scott half-smiled at her, but had she seen his eyes, she'd have known that he was disappointed. She breezily looked around at the plants and picked out a red rose, "Oh, look Scott, remember this?" Scott smiled and said dryly, "how could I forget? The night I met the girlfriend from hell."
Emma stepped on his rainbow sandal clad toes with her heels and sarcastically retorted, "Ha, ha, you know you really don't hate me that much darling. Come on, we had fun."
She stroked his cheek and continued, "I may just be an old flame to you, but please know, that you're so much more than that to me."
Scott stepped closer to her and held her hand up, "Emma, you are a Frost, you're not supposed to say things like that. You're not just an old flame sweetie; you're more than that also. But not in that way." He kissed her hand and then dropped it.
She looked at him with an amused expression. Scott whispered, "You'd better go sweetheart, Ororo will be here soon and I'm sure you have better things to do than hang around plants with me."
Emma laughed haughtily and said, "Oh, darling, please, did you just give me the cheek? Don't, you're right about one thing though, I am a Frost, and I'm sure I mean WAY more than a flame to you and in that way. I've always gotten what I wanted, everything is my way from now."
Scott smiled at her and with that, she turned and strutted her way out just as Storm came in. Storm eyed Emma's sluttish apparel disapprovingly, but to be polite, didn't say anything besides, "You should cover yourself a little more, you might catch a cold."
Storm greeted Scott happily and they started their work on all the plants.
Betsy roamed the hallways and everywhere she went, boys just "coincidentally" seemed to have bumped into her. She passed by Bobby in the kitchen who had his jaw hanging and a little bit of drool dangling from his lip. Betsy closed his chin with her hand and said, "Please, love, close your mouth, that's very unattractive."
Bobby nodded eagerly and rushed off to boast to the other boys that she had called him, "love."
Scott woke with a start from his bed when he heard the shower being turned on in his bathroom.
He thought that it was probably someone or Emma playing a joke on him, or either it was Logan turning on all the shower systems in the mansion to make everyone wake up and cue them to shower.
He groggily sat up and stripped his pajamas off to take a shower.
He opened the curtain slightly and stuck his head and hand in to adjust the water incase he stepped in when it was too hot or too cold.
A muffled shout startled him, so he snapped his head towards the end of the shower….
A.N: Ooh, who is it? Actually, I myself don't know it yet, so it's up to the readers to vote whomever they would like to share a steamy moment with Scott in his bathroom, well, not too steamy. R&R!
