Ride Of Your Life
Author's Notes: I've been listening to some songs and the story is somewhere written in my head. About the songs, I'm gonna place them in some future chapters. Expect a lot (I think) of sappy songs in Rietro moments. Now…wouldn't you like that? LoL.
Chapter Four – When You Think You're Falling In Love
Pietro's POV
I walked back to the cabin and found Rogue asleep inside the bedroom. I silently closed the door and decided to do something for her. I looked around and my eyes landed on the kitchen. I walked towards the refrigerator and opened it. I found a slab of meat and a bunch of potatoes. I decided to cook her a candlelight dinner. I placed the slab of meat on the grill and turned on the burner. While that was being grilled, I began peeling the potatoes and began mashing them. I went back to the grill and turned the meat over. After a few minutes, everything was ready. I placed everything on the table, complete with the utensils and the candle in the middle.
I heard the bedroom door creak open and saw Rogue rubbing her eyes and yawning. I quickly washed my hands and went back in position by the table. Rogue's eyes snapped open when she saw the lights dimmed, the table and food set, and raging lit candle in the middle of the table. I could have sworn she almost tripped on her own feet when she saw everything.
"What?" she looked at me, "Pietro, what…Ah…"
"You don't have to say anything" I said, slightly smiling at her
"It's really…nice" she said in a tone that I never heard from her
"Shall we eat?"
"Sure" she said, walking towards the seat
~I get a feeling
I can't explain
Whenever your eyes meet mine
My heart spins in circles~
I sat down beside her and the two of us began lifting up our utensils and began eating. It wasn't long before when we already finished eating. I looked at her eat the last bite of her steak and wipe her mouth with the napkin. The both of us sat in silence for a while when she opened her mouth to speak.
~And I lose all space and time
And now that we're standing face to face
Something tells me
It's gonna be okay~
"Thanks fo' dinnah. It was delicious. Thanks" she said, smiling
"Your welcome." I said, smiling again at her
"Ah didn't know y' could cook" Rogue said, having a teasing smile on her face, "Pietro, the cook" she joked and laughed about it
"You should do that more often"
"What? Tease y'?"
"No…laugh and smile. You look more beautiful" I said
~And I'm ready to fall in love tonight
Ready to hold my heart open wide
I can't promise forever, but baby I'll try
I'm ready to fall in love tonight~
I really didn't know why I said that. There was this weird feeling inside of me I can't describe. It was really ineffable. My heart pounded and skipped a beat every time I would look at Rogue. Her eloquent smile would leave me weak on my knees and make my heart warm. It took me a heart's lifetime to realize what I was feeling.
"Um…thanks. Ah guess…" she whispered
"Rogue…"
"Hmm?"
"If there is anything you could wish for, what would it be?" I asked
"Ah don't know…there's really nothang Ah could wish fo'…"
"Your mind might say that…but your heart doesn't"
"Alraht. Ah wish Ah could touch someone without absorbing their memoreh (memory)." She said, looking away from me
"Don't worry Roguey, your wish may come true"
"Ah hope so"
My hand moved across the table and placed it on her gloved hand. She looked down at it and she was blushing a deep shade of red. I held on to her hand and gave it a little squeeze.
~I know you've been watching
Choosing your moment
But I've been dreaming of that day
No one before you has gotten to me this way
And now that we're standing face to face
There's something that I need to say~
"Ah'm going to sleep now. Good naht…Pietro" Rogue said, faster than I would speak in a speedy voice, entering the room
"Good night" I sighed as Rogue closed the door. I hurriedly cleaned up the table and set everything back in place. I looked sat on the couch and imagined if Rogue really entered my life and have a real mutant kid to take care of. I stood up and went inside the bedroom. I found Rogue asleep in one side of the bed. The blanket wasn't over her. I walked towards the bed and placed the blanket properly over her cold body, careful not to make contact with her skin. A sudden thought suddenly came into my head. What if I was the only one able to touch her?
~And I'm ready to fall in love tonight
Ready to hold my heart open wide
I can't promise forever, but baby I'll try
I'm ready to fall in love tonight~
A sudden thought suddenly came into my head. What if I was the only one able to touch her?
The song is Joey Fatone's "Ready To Fall" from the On The Line soundtrack. I hope you liked this. It was really a tough one to write! Now, for the thank yous!
