Ride Of Your Life
Author's Notes: Whoo…it's been what? Two weeks since I last updated. Sorry for the delay. It was exam week for me. And for all of you who are wondering what my first language is, it's Filipino. I'm from Asia, living in the Philippines. Anyway…Here's chapter twelve.
Chapter Twelve – Spending The Day Together
Rogue's POV
I woke up the next day with Pietro's arms around me, touching my bare stomach. I got up and walked towards the bathroom, taking a nice warm shower. After, I stared at the fogged up mirror and wiped it away with my hand. I looked at my reflection and smiled. I suddenly realized I didn't bring clothes with me in the bathroom. I sighed and wrapped my body with the towel. I opened the door and saw Pietro standing there, with his fist in the air ready to knock. He looked groggy but his face turned red like a tomato and quickly turned away. I could still see him blushing and playing with his fingers.
"I uh…uh…didn't mean to…I was going to uh, knock…but uh…" Pietro stammered but was cut off when Rogue's lips made contact with his cheek
"Y're so cute when y're nervous" I giggled
"M-me? N-nervous? Nah." He ran his hand through his hair
"Fahn then. Y' were stammering."
Pietro looked down at his feet and turned to me. His nervousness/stammering faded away and smiled at me.
"So tell me, Rogue my sweet, what are you standing there in just a towel?" Pietro gave me a sly smile
"Ah was going t' get some clothes, Mr. Oh-So-Perverted-One" I playfully smacked him on the arm
"Ow" he grinned, "Well, hurry before I get some stupid bad mental images…OW!"
I threw a pillow at him and it hit him on the face. I opened my drawer and hurriedly grabbed my clothes and retreated inside the bathroom, closing and locking the door. While I was putting on some clothes, I heard Pietro's voice at the other side of the door.
"Hey, why don't we spend the day to ourselves?"
"Sure. Why not?"
"Great" I just knew he smiled
Pietro's POV
Rogue waited for me after I invaded the bathroom second. She was all dressed up in black denim jeans, her army boots, a dark red top and a black trench coat. She waited for me and I finally came out of the bathroom, all ready.
"Ready?" I asked her
She nodded and the two of us linked arms and headed for the café. We spotted Kitty and Lance at one corner, holding mugs of hot chocolate. We didn't head for their direction. We just wanted this day for ourselves. We settled in the far side of the café and ordered our meals. After the meal, Rogue asked me something.
"Pietro, Ah was wondering…"
"You were wondering what?"
"Ah was wondering what would happen if this trip ended? Ah mean, y' are part of the Brothahood and Ah'm part of the X-Men and Scott would go berserk if he knew Ah was going out with ya"
"Rogue…no matter where we are, no matter which alliance we belong to, our love will never die. It's here to stay. Know what Holland means?"
"What?"
"Hope our love lasts and never dies" I smiled at her
"Wow" she smiled back at me, "And what will happen if we had battles against each other huh? That would mean hurting y'"
"Then don't hurt me. I won't hurt you"
"Mr. Blackmail"
"Hey, that was logical thinking" I retorted
"Logical thinking? Pfft, suuure"
"Hey!"
"Ah was just kidding. Geez, y' can never take a joke"
"Oh yes I can. Especially when it's your joke" he smiled
We went outside and walked on the snow. We passed the main office and saw Ivan standing there.
"Where are your reports? I need them now so you won't forget to hand it in to your Home Eco. class"
"Here" Rogue gave hers
"Here" I handed mine
"Thank you. Now, have a nice day" he said
The two of us left and walked around some more, holding hands. We spent the day in each others arms, not wanting to let go. We didn't think about tomorrow, next week or the week after that. All we thought about was this day. Not wanting it to end.
It took me thirty minutes!! Go me! LoL. Shout outs!!
