Chapter 26: Welcome to the Soap Opera.
Gambit and Rogue shared a final kiss before dropping the hatch and starting to unload their shopping.
"Hey guys, why don't you go sort the stuff you need for tomorrow? We're basically done now." Scott said to them an hour and a half later.
"Okay." They replied. Now for an encore. They thought.
They ran to Gambit's room only to enter and find Bobby sorting his clothes.
"Gucci for battle… as if." He muttered, hearing the door close he turned. "Hi guys," noticing their hands clasped together, he added, "so you finally got your act together, congrats!" He turned to Rogue. "So, I guess we're over. Never mind, plenty more fish in the sea. I'll leave you to it." He started to leave, but Gambit stopped him.
"You're taking this well, why?" He asked.
"Because, my Cajun friend, I would much rather be with you than her." He said with a shrug. "But I don't think this mansion is quite ready for that yet."
"So, you were using me?"
"Yeah."
"Well, that's okay, but don't you get lonely?"
"Honey, I find my own fun. I just needed a girlfriend so no one would get suspicious, you were a good choice as you were destined to leave me 'heartbroken'." He said simply.
"Oh, well so long as you don't mind."
"I don't. I honestly wish you the best of luck."
"Thank you." Rogue said giving her friend a hug.
"You're welcome. You only have an hour, I'll make myself scarce." He went out the door.
"Who woulda guessed?" Gambit said.
"No one, that's kinda the point." Was her brief reply before she kissed him.
Jubilee was coming down the hall with Kitty, waving a piece of paper about.
"So I was looking around his room, and I found this." She indicated the paper. "It's a song he wrote for me." She twirled around. "Ain't love grand?"
"What's it called?" The other girl asked.
"Untouchable." Jubilee replied.
"Read some then." Urged her friend.
"I want you like nobody else,
I want you in sickness and in health.
I love it when you call my name,
I love you seem to feel the same.
I look for you, I find you near,
I call your name, you always hear,
I move away, you call me back,
You offer me the things I lack.
It's everything you are; that makes you so desirable,
It's everything you do; that makes you so admirable,
Every night I pray, for God to make you reachable,
And every day I wish that you weren't so untouchable."
"Wow!" Exclaimed Kitty.
"Indeed." Jubilee said smugly.
"So what now?"
"I say 'thank you'." She said with a lustful gleam in her eye.
"I'll go."
"Later."
Jubilee opened the door to Gambit's room with her eyes still on Kitty.
"I just came to say 'thanks' for the beautiful song you wrote for me. I know I shouldn't have been…" She cut herself off, as her eyes reached the room, standing in the middle were Gambit and Rogue, kissing passionately and pulling each other's clothes off.
