15 minutes later they had arrived. Jean parked the car near the entry. Scott held her hand and he asked her
"What do you want to do first?."
Well, I want to buy a beautiful dress for the dinner of this friday
and a present for Ororo. What do you think?".
"Ok, I'll follow you" Scott said. Two hours later She still hadn't found the dress that she wanted. Everytime that she went out of the changing roon she asked Scott if he liked the dress and he always said;
"Yes, You are beautiful" She looked her in the mirror and back to the changing roon. Fortunately she finally found the dress of her dreams that what she will only wear for that night.
"And now, we can go to get the present for Ororo," Jean said.
"Have you figured out that you will give her?" he asked.
"At the beginning I thought of buying her a plant but I did not know which one I should choose and she has so many, so I thought of buying some figures of glass that I saw some time ago when we shopped together. I notised that she liked them a lot. Then a couple of weeks ago I found them," She said.
"How they are?".
"They are really beautiful. They represent a herd of wild horses. They almost seem real. This is the shop!. Can you hold the bags a moment?. "
"Yes, of couse!" he said and took them.
"Wait for me here. ok?... or maybe , you could go take a look at something. Because I'm sure I will be long. It seems that there are many people."
"Perfect. I'll look at a couple of things. How long do you believe it will take you?."
"About 15 or 20 minutes," She said. Scott kissed Jean and said;
"See you!"
"See you."
Scott went toward the motorcycle shop. When ever they came to the mall he loved to go over there. He could spend the whole day there. He saw an impressive black motorbike and he could not help but to think of his old motorbike, one of the few things that he could call his own and which Logan had almost destroyed. That guy had hated him since the first day he had first laid eyes on him. He had not even been bothered to try to get to know him. He was so caught up in his thoughts that when Jean came closer without making any noise she surprised him and when lay her hand on his back Scott jumped up and turned quickly around, one hand going to his glasses.
"Calm down, It's me." she said
"Damn it, Jean! I could ..."
"I 'm so sorry," she apologized. "I Finished before what I thought and I knew that I would find you here."
"Oh, God, Jean. I could have hurt you."
"I'm alright, Nothing happened. Forgive me I didn't want..."
"It's ok. I shouldn't react this way. It is just......You mean so much to me. I couldn't bear the thought of losing you. Please forgive me."
"Forget about it. Are you hungry?," Jean asked and they walked together towards the food corner.
"Yes, I'm starving. I was thinking of going for lunch when you finished your shopping," he said.
"Then we can go now," Jean said.
"Great!. I choose the place today. I've heard about a good Italian restaurant, it is near here". They drove from the mall and after having parked, they walked to the restaurant. The place was small and welcoming. At this time there weren't much people. A waiter came to them. He was about 25 years old. He looked Scott with curiosity, but Scott was used to the stares. he waiter guided them to their table. He gave them the menu and left them alone for a moment so they will be able to choose.
"What do you think about this place?" Scott asked.
"It's lovely place. How did you know it?".
"Remy recommended it last time we saw each other".
"So this is one of the places that Gambit uses to meet with his appointments. I am impressed."
They looked at the menu and when they had decided what they wanted they called the waiter. The service was excellent and they didn't have to wait long before the waiter served their lunch and then left them alone again.
"Jean?" Scott asked while revolved his fork in his plate absentmindedly.
"Yes?."
"Are you nervous?" I mean... I want to speak to you about your lecture in the Senate next week." Scott said.
"It´s difficult for me but it is something that we must do. Since Senator Kelly desappeared, things have calmed down , but I don't think it will last . There are still people who have doubts and they need to be convinced".
"Have you ever wondered sometimes, what would your life would be like, if you hadn't gone to the proffesor's school, if you weren't a ..."
"I didn't choose to be born like this, Scott, really nobody did but i don't want it to have been any different. If we hadn't been mutants and I hadn't gone to the Proffesor's school, maybe we wouldn't have met each other and I am very sure that then something important would be missing in my life." She put her hand on his cheek.
They had spoked for hours, as they haven't done in a long time ago. Sometimes, they missed it. Yes of course, they lived together but, it was difficult for them to spent one minute alone in a big house filled with people and plenty of works to do.
Scott looked at his watch and said, "Do you want to go to the cinema?."
"Yes. Why?."
"Because we'll have to leave now or we'll be late."
"Well, then we can go now. I am finished," she said. Scott drank his coffee and asked for the bill. When they got out it was raining heavily.
"Good heavens! And now?," she said.
"Give me the keys. I'll go to the car and I'll park near the entrance."
"But, you're going to get wet."
"Better me than you. I'll be right back." Scott took the keys and ran towards the car. In a few minutes he returned. He parked near the entrance and opened the car's door for Jean.
"Thanks."
"You are welcome."
Jean looked him. His hair and his shirt were completely wet.
"Scott!. You Gonna catch a cold!. you can not go this way to any place!."
"I'm fine!" he protested
"Come on!. I have bought you a gift and I wanted to give it to you at home but I believe that you need it more now," she took a package from the back seat. "This is!. Here are you are." She gave him the package.
"What is this?."
"Open it."
"Ok, ok." He opened the package and took out a blue sweater of wool.
"I hope it is of your size," she said. " Put it on".
"Here?!!."
"No, better in the middle of the cinema or when you take ill," Jean said
"You don't need be sarcastic....," he defended himself. Jean looked him seriously" Ok, ok. You are the boss!" he said with a smile
"Exactly and don't you forget it," she joked. He took his shirt off and put on the sweater. You see! You are really handsome with this sweater " Jean laughed and kissed him. He started the car and drove to the cinema.
"What do you want to do first?."
