Ok, nope xmen still aint mine, neither are Hootie and the blowfish or their song "only want to be with you." About the song, I know, I left out quite a few of the words…sorry ::shrugs:: I got the main idea across. Um, oh I don't own Luconi's either, even though I named the one in the story after this really good Italian place where I live, yummy, I WISH I owned them. Oh yeah, the song "Time Warp" from the rocky horror show, isn't mine either, just don't sue me, ok? Storm and Wolverine together always!!!!!!!
~~~*@*~~~
"Welcome to Lucioni's, how many?" A tall lanky Italian man asked.
"Two."
"Right this way please."
The man led them into the back of the room to a table that was near the karaoke stage. He handed Logan and Ororo two menus and walked away.
Ororo looked at Logan, "Well?"
He raised an eyebrow, "Well what darlin'?"
"Shall we eat first, or sing first?" Her smile got wider.
He sighed, "Yer serious about this singin' thing aren't cha?"
She nodded excitedly.
He shook his head, laughing on the inside. Who woulda thought? Storm, second in command of the squad, excited about singing on a stage, "Why don't we eat first."
"All right, eating sounds good. I'm famished." She picked up her menu, and began scamming it for a meal that sounded appetizing. She peered over the top of the menu at Logan who was absorbed in picking his own meal. "Goddess, why haven't I noticed him before?" She asked herself, biting her bottom lip, "How could I not have noticed him?" She stared into his brown eyes, and at every detail on his face, unquestionably noticing him now.

Ororo wiped the corners of her mouth with her napkin, and set it back down on the table, "MMmm, that was delicious!"
"Haven't had a mean that good in a while." Logan gulped down another drink of his beer. No matter what restaurant he was put in, he'd always prefer a good ol' fashioned can of brewsky to a glass of sparkling Champaign.
"What do you say to a song Logan?" Ororo smiled once more, this time so wide it made the corners of her eyes cringe.
Logan let out a big sigh, "I dunno Darlin', singin' in front of strangers just really isn't my thing…"
Ororo gazed at him, and slipped her smooth toffee colored hand into his rough calloused one, "Please? For me?"
"Oh, come on Ro, don't do that pouty thing again." He pleaded, looking at her lips that were curled down, begging him. Logan squeezed her hand, "Alright, fine, I'll do it." How is it that Ro's able to get me to do stuff that I'd never even give a second thought any other time, he asked himself.
Ororo leaned over the table and gave Logan a light peck on the cheek, "Thank you Logan, trust me, this is going to be fun! Now what song shall we sing?"
Logan shrugged and looked up on the stage, discovering an older man surrounded by 3 younger ladies singing Time Warp from the Rocky Horror Show. He laughed out loud; the old man actually seemed to be enjoying himself.
"Logan?"
He jerked
his attention from the stage and back at Ro, "I don't listen to much music Darlin',
so I really wouldn't know."
Ororo jogged her mind for the perfect song. She glanced up at Logan who was staring intently at her, then took her hand into his again, and gave her a quick, yet sincere smile. Suddenly her heart lit up with a feeling that was too wonderful for words. She just all of a sudden had this adoration for Logan, for the way his eyes brightened when he laughed, which was something he didn't do enough of, and the way he was always there, as a father for Jubilee or Kitty, for the way he carried himself as a brawny loner, but when he wanted to be, an intelligent and tender gentleman.
"There's this one song that would be ideal!"
~*~
"And here for your entertainment tonight, Lo and Ro performing "Only Want to be with You." By Hootie and The Blowfish."
The music began playing, and Logan looked at Ororo, with an obvious worry in his eyes.
"You'll be fine Logan, just have FUN!" Ororo laughed holding her small microphone in her hand.
What am I doing, what am I doing, what in the hell am I DOING, Logan thought in his head. The words began rolling across the screen in front of him. It's now or never, bub. Just do it for your Lady.
"You and me, we come different worlds. You laugh at me when I look at other girls. Sometimes you're crazy," He glanced back at Ro, who was singing backup behind him. She winked at him, and suddenly, he realized that this was the most fun he'd had in a long time, "There's nothin' I can do…I only wanna be with yooooooou, I've been lookin' for a girl like yoooooooou. You look at me, you got nothin' left to say."
Ororo continued singing back up, and almost burst out laughing when she saw Logan begin to sway his hips back and forth, starting to dance.
"I'm gonna
bother you until I get my way. There's
nothin' I can do…I only wanna be with yooooooou. You can call me a fool, I only
wanna be with yooooooou."
When the song ended, the small
restaurant was filled with the sound of clapping.
"Let's hear it for the lovely couple." One of the waiters announced.
"Let's see a little kiss!"
Logan looked out into the audience and discovered that is was the "TimeWarp" man who had requested that.
Ororo put down her microphone, walked over to Logan, wrapped her arms around him, and locked lips with his, not only for show, but because she was waiting all night to do it.
Logan was at first surprised, but gave into her and kissed back. Looks like Ro's puttin' the moves on you, he told himself, enfolding Ororo in his arms.
When Logan pulled back, he grabbed Ro's hand and walked her off stage.
"Very nicely done Logan, I never knew you could sing that well." Ororo told him, grabbing her coat, and placing in around her shoulders, but not quite putting her arms through.
"To tell ya the truth Darlin', neither did I. I gotta say though, I had an alright time." He picked up her hand, and interlocked his fingers with hers.
When they were in front of Logan's hummer in the parking lot, which definitely stood out from all the sports cars, Ororo fixed her eyes on Logan, "Thank you for coming with me tonight, I had the time of my life."
Logan tucked back a stray strand of silvery hair behind her ear, and looked into her ice blue eyes, "Me and you both Darlin'" He leaned over and kissed her again, only this time with the love and the passion that he felt, "Me and you both."
