Ride Of Your Life
Author's Notes: Thank you for all your reviews! You keep me motivated to keep this story running! I usually update longer (my longest was 7 months. Reason, major writer's block. Next was, 2-3 months, same reason. Next, one-two week/s. Reason, homework crap and didn't have time. Lastly, skipping a day or two or more. Reason, lazy, didn't have time and homework crap) than everyday. This is actually my first time to update everyday. But this record will break because of damn school. .. I hope you'll still continue reading this even if I don't update everyday because of crap piled in front of me by evil teachers and such. Anyway, enough of my unnecessary ranting. Let's move on to the best part, shall we?
Chapter Eight – Touchable!?
Rogue's POV
He asked me out. HE asked ME OUT. I don't what my reaction would be. Jumping for joy or um…looking stumped? Wait. Why should I jump for joy? It's not like I love him, right? He's just a friend, right? A friend who's…a guy. Not a boyfriend, right? RIGHT!? Wait, he kissed me. Aw man…this dance will be a long night.
I walked further and saw Pietro waiting for me by the ski lift. Suddenly, I felt something strange inside of me. I couldn't put my finger on it. I looked at Pietro who still had the same grin as earlier. Crap. What am I supposed to do!? Kiss him back!? Ugh. I hate my life. He had a gleam in his eyes and it was probably that, that mesmerized the four girls to go with him to the Sadie Hawkins dance last year.
We rode the ski lift and went back to our cabin. I threw my bag across the floor and sat on the couch. Pietro took a seat beside me. I sort of cringed when he did. He kept on staring at me.
"What?" I asked him
"Nothing…" he said
Yeah…like I'm gonna believe that.
"No, really. What?"
"I never thought you would say yes when I asked you to go to the dance with me. I thought you would say no and all. And slap me when I kissed you" Pietro chuckled
"Well, I was going to do that…but something made me stop. I don't know what" I said
"Well, whatever it is. I'm glad you said yes" Pietro smiled again.
The next day, Kitty and I went to the mini dress store and browsed for clothes for the dance tonight. The store was packed with girls, looking for clothes too. I didn't there was a store like this in this place. Kitty found it when Lance and her was taking a stroll in the snow. I had a hard time picking a dress. Kitty got a peach dress that went past her knees. While I was browsing through a rack of dark colored ones, I found something. It was plum colored dress. It came along with silk black gloves that almost went to your elbows. I showed it to Kitty and gave me her sign of approval.
We paid for our stuff and went outside. We saw Lance and Pietro throwing snowballs at each other. We laughed at them and decided to throw them snowballs too. I threw one at Pietro and Kitty threw hers at Lance. It both got their attention when they got hit. The both of them nodded at each other and began attacking us with snowballs. We ran for our lives and hid behind a tree.
Later on that day, I made Pietro and I some dinner before we left for the dance. After that, we walked out of tour cabin and found Kitty and Lance leaving their cabin as well. The four of us walked together to the venue and heard music coming out. We entered the place and found people dancing to the song. Lance immediately dragged Kitty to the dance floor. Pietro and I settled by the food table.
Suddenly, a slow song came and Pietro looked at me. I looked at him as well. He held out his hand for me to take. I reluctantly took it and the both of headed for the dance floor. I saw Lance and Kitty cuddling up to each other in the corner of my eye. I placed my hand on Pietro's shoulder and the other on his hand. His other hand was around my waist and the both of us slow danced to the music.
~Lying in my bed I hear the clock tick
And I think of you
Caught up in circles, confusion is nothing new
Flashback, warm nights, almost left behind
Suitcase of memories, time after~
~Sometimes you picture me
I'm walking too far ahead
You're calling me, I can't hear what you've said
Then you said, "Go slow"
I fall behind, the second hand unwinds~
Pietro and I were still dancing, along with Kitty and Lance and other people. I rested my head on his shoulder and I swore I saw him smile. I saw Kitty nudge Lance and look. Both Kitty and Lance were smiling and I gave them a glare. They looked away and continued dancing, but I know they're still smiling.
~If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you, I'll be waiting
Time after time
If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you, I'll be waiting
Time after time~
~After my picture fades
And darkness has turned to gray
Watching through windows, you're wondering if I'm okay
Secrets stolen from deep inside
The drum beats out of time~
~If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you, I'll be waiting
Time after time~
~You said, "Go slow"
I fall behind, the second hand unwinds~
~If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you, I'll be waiting
Time after time
If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you, I'll be waiting
Time after time~
By the time the song ended, everyone cleared from the dance floor and went back to their seats. I was confused though. Only Pietro and I were on the dance floor.
"Uh…Pietro…the song's ovah." I said, tapping him on the back
"Rogue…"
"What?" I looked at him confusingly
"I want us to stay like this" Pietro said
Suddenly, I heard Kitty gasp. I looked at her and she pointed at my arm. I looked down and saw Pietro's hand making contact with my skin. I looked at Pietro. He was still standing. He wasn't on the floor. He wasn't in a coma. He was standing there, face to face with me.
"What…?"
Oh the joys of being able to touch! Some of you may wonder why Pietro was able to touch her without passing out in a coma. You'll find out in the next chapter!! Thank you all! I don't have time for the shout outs as I am hurrying to post this. It's already 1am!
