Just like that, the next few weeks were nothing but an exciting surprise around every corner.
"Power down you two." Logan's voice would boom over the Danger Room speakers and Piotr and Anna would do so. Somehow and someway Anna would be either dragging behind her Russian friend or two steps ahead of him because she knew her Cajun beau would be hiding near by.
It was hard at first to keep everything hush, but then it turned into an exciting game on who could surprise and ditch each other fast enough before anyone saw or questioned.
Like the time that Remy and Anna were sweet talking each other in the hallway and Remy being the thief he was trained to be and forcefully pushing Anna into a near by broom closet, shutting the door quickly so that she was in the dark by herself.
"Hi Scott." Remy said cheerfully to the team leader who rounded the corner reviewing notes from a clip board.
"Hey Rem." Scott replied back never looking up from his notes and continuing on his path.
Remy taking a deep breath and slowly opening a closet filled with darkness and probably one pissed off southerner. Only to Remy's surprise it became a closet filled with darkness and one very happy southerner. Remy smirked to himself, after passing the closet headed for Anna's room, thinking about that day and one intense make out session against a wash tub.

They had plan to act like they were doing non-important errands in town, but that was just their cover for lunch and maybe some alone time at a movie theater or park, Anna smiling to herself. Everything felt complete for once. They never discussed if they were an "official" couple or her going back to Arizona, since the one night in the garage, because they simply knew that everything was going to be okay.
She heard the faint tapping at her door and yelling a "Come in", Remy entered. They were already it the midst of their routine. She took her time to get ready even though Remy seemed to be always ten minutes early as she finished in her bathroom.
"Hey."
"Hey." She replied back to him looking at him through the bathroom mirror as she finished putting some large curls into her hair with the help of her curling iron. "Ah'll be done in a sec." Remy nodding his head in understanding headed towards her bed to take a seat and maybe something else before they headed out.
"Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr." Maybe not. Remy quickly stood up from the bed and headed for the near by couch since Duke had taken residence in Anna's bed and wanted the Cajun no were near his Momma.
Remy sat on the couch for what would be another five minutes glaring at the large Mastiff that she called "Baby" "Cutie-Pie" "Tons of Fun" and his personal favorite "Dukie Snookie". Although he would refer to the large beast as "Satan" "Worse than Logan" "Flea Bag" and his personal favorite "Mr. Cock Blocker". Remy figured he might as well have a chaperon with Anna when Duke was around.
Watching a movie with Anna in the mansion stopped happening because Duke would insist sitting in between them on the couch becoming eye level with the pissed of Cajun and always seeming to burp in Remy's face, then lazily Duke would lie onto Anna and fall asleep before Remy could even get near her.
He even resorted to paying Jaime to keep Duke entertained if he knew that he had plans with Anna coming up. Remy was brought out of his glare contest when Duke's tail started to beat against the bed's comforter knowing that Anna was finishing up and coming out of the bathroom.
"Ready?" She asked him.

After finding someone to entertain Duke while they were out, the couple headed in town to do their so non-important errands. After lunch at one of their favorite local diner they headed downtown.
Remy standing in line to an outdoor coffee vendor watching Anna carelessly look through a rack of men's shirts that was out on the sidewalk from the clothing store next door, admiring her how she paid no attention to things going on around her, just the shirts.
After paying and receiving their coffees, he handed her coffee off to her. "Who you looking for chere?"
"You." She said not taking her eyes off the line of shirts in front of her. "You always wear the same colors." Pulling out a pale yellow shirt, giving it a once over and putting it back on the rack, continuing down the line.
"I do not." He protested through his teeth lighting a cigarette.
"Yeah ya do. It is either black, almost black navy, brown, or shades of red."
"Red brings out the color in my eyes." He winked at her through his dark sunglasses; she gave a small smirk, but kept looking. "Besides coming from a girl who always wore black how can you talk?" As he motioned to Anna's clothing choice for the day. Dark blue jeans with a white button down, tucked in with the sleeves rolled up. Top off with a large brown hand bag over her one shoulder, a large brown studded belt and strappy healed sandals.
Sliding her bronze sunglasses off her eyes and up into her two toned hair, looking at sizes on the shirts, "Would you rather me still wear black all the time?"
"Chere, you could wear anything you like and you could look good in it." Taking another drag of his cigarette, giving her the cocky smirk, making the skin on the corner of his eyes crinkle finally getting her attention so that she would switch her eyes onto him and not the clothing rack.
"You are trying to get laid aren't ya?"
"Maybe." He shrugged. "Is it working?"
"Maybe." She shifted in her spot smiling at him, and then quickly shifting back to the shirts. "All Ah'm saying is maybe you would look good in charcoal, blue, oh," she gasped grabbing a shirt off of the rack, "green!" She held up the dark solid green shirt to Remy's chest, giving it a once over and her approval. "What do ya think?"
Remy not saying anything and she still held the hanger just below his chin, tossing his cigarette to the ground and leaning in to kiss her. He could feel her lips start to smile underneath his lips as he pulled away from her.
"Just what Ah always wanted, a way to get coffee and cigarettes at the same time." She spoke softly only an inch away from his face, smiling as she did so and he returned it.
"Personally, I think the green is a good choice." A familiar voice spoke to them, making their smiles disappear quickly, Anna taking a quick step away from Remy turning towards Jean.
"Hi Jean." Anna said quickly. "First running into Remy and then into you, small world isn't it." Still holding the shirt in her hand and coffee in the other.
"Yeah, small world." Jean replied back with a smile and holding her latest purchase bag from the clothing store.
"Well," Remy piped up taking the shirt from Anna's hand, "Thanks for helping me pick this out." Heading in the store to purchase it. "Nice running into you both."
"Yeah anytime. See ya later Remy." Anna waved a hand goodbye to the non-existing beau as he headed inside. "Well, wow." She spoke up turning back to Jean.
"Yup, wow." Jean shifting her bag so that both hands grasped it by the handles and she finished up with a shoulder shrug.
"So."
"So."
Anna gave a heavy sigh, looking to the side for an exit from the telepath, pulled her sunglasses back over her eyes. "So, Ah've been sleeping with him." It all came out at once, but she figured probably Jean knew already.
Jean not saying anything, just nodding her head to her comment.
"We thought we should keep it on the down low over at the school."
Still Jean, just nodded her head to her statement once more.
"Please feel free to speak at anytime." Anna finally made eye contact to the red head through her sunglasses.
Jean taking a step forward closer to the southerner, "The Professor wants a meeting back at the school tonight at five, so be back by then." Anna nodding to her knowing the Jean and her boyfriend Scott, tried to not make there relationship as public as they would of like in the beginning too.
"Thanks." Anna replied back as Jean began to walk away from the store.
"You might want to hurry inside. I think he is waiting for you in a dressing room." Jean spoke up turning around so that she was walking backwards and talking and the same time. "Or wait." Pausing and lifting a hand to her forehead, "Is it a broom closet?"
Anna rolled her eyes and headed inside the store.
