Thank you all for the reviews! They helped me make some changes in this chapter. I forgot to say earlier but I'm making Jubilee around 20 in this story. This just would not work if she was 13. (eww!)
The sun streamed in through her thin curtains and Jubilee snuggled further down into her bedclothes. Until it became stifling hot. Throwing them off she stumbled around the room looking for clothes. A few minutes later she was on her way downstairs. The smell of waffles greeted her at the doorway.
Remy, Warren and Rouge were all in there eating. They looked up as she came in.
"Mornin' Chere, want somet'in' t' eat?"
She shook her head settling for some juice instead, trying to ignore Remy's gaze following her. She had avoided him for a few days, not sure how to act around him or what to do. They had only kissed but it had awakened in her feelings that she had never expected to have again. Part of her didn't think he meant it; part of her wanted him too.
Come on, she told herself firmly, Remy would kiss Jean if he got the chance. It was just Remy been Remy.
"Hon, it's not good for ya not to eat in the morning."
Jubilee looked up from her glass suppressing a grimace. She knew that, how old did Rouge think she was? They had been friends; well at least acquaintances and Jubilee had always liked Rouge, her sense of freedom whenever she was around. Of course Rouge had never forgiven her for dying her streak green even though it had been a good few years ago.
It occurred to her that it must be slowly killing Remy whenever he seen Rouge with Joseph. He had loved her years and only now seemed to be accepting that Rouge had made her choice. A smile tweaked at her lips as she thought of what Rouge would do if she found out she'd kissed Remy…
Remy watched this with satisfaction. The hurt was still in her eyes and she still was bruised but she had seemed in better form today and she had walked in with an air of new confidence. Though the fact that she had been ignoring him bothered him. He had expected her too and he had felt a little strange himself after kissing her. Though he hadn't tried to approach her again, leaving her time to sort her mind out and his. He didn't particularly favour the idea of Logan gutting him if he found out he'd kissed Jubilee.
Scuffling feet told him Warren and Rouge was leaving. His eyes followed Rouge retreating figure for a moment and then focused back on Jubilee.
She shifted uncomfortably under his intense gaze, feeling as if he was looking into her soul and she was afraid of what he might find.
Mentally clamping her thoughts down she spoke coolly and indifferently. "I know what happened the other day probably meant nothing to you but I wanted to say thanks for listening anyway."
There she's done it. She didn't have to feel awkward around him anymore. She got up to leave before she lost control of her legs al ogether.
"Non chere! Dat not true. Remy meant what he said!"
She had rose to leave but now sunk stunned into her chair. Yes she had wanted him to say that but she hadn't expected him too.
Gambit came over to her with his usual catlike grace, towering over her. Jubilee could have whimpered in his presence. She felt her legs numb at the thought of him been so close again. He crouched down beside her resting an arm on the back of her chair, trapping her with his gaze.
"Remy said he would try t' protect y' an' Remy's goin' t'."
Jubilee stared at him her throat to numb to speak.
"Dat just wasn't somet'in' chere, dat meant somet'in'."
His head was so close to her face now that she could feel his hot breath on her face and almost taste the nicotine and rum. He caressed her face and his fingers moved over her lips.
He bent even closer making her tingle all over. "An' Remy was hoping for anot'er one."
Jubilee would have jumped with joy if she could. This couldn't be happening to her but it was. The fates had looked upon her and finally smiled. She reached out to touch his face back, almost afraid that if she did he would disappear and it would turn out to be nothing but a dream.
"Dis not a dream Jubilation." His low voice cut into her thoughts.
Her head came even closer to his and their lips just had mingled when he suddenly stood. Jean came in, dressed immaculate for breakfast and Jubilee groaned in the sheer unfairness of it all.
Remy grabbed her hand and kissed it. Igniting the tingling sensation again.
Winking, he spoke. "Until later Chere."
Then he ambled out past Jean and down the hall.
Jubilee could help but laugh at Jeans perplexed expression and it felt good. Even though her throat protested at being used for this again. She felt alive again, more alive than she had felt in a long time.
The end.
I didn't really touch on a lot of their relationship yet. It hasn't really started yet. Hopefully with the sequel (If ya all want one that is) I'll be able to go into more detail, also how the rest of team feels about it, with the age difference etc.
