-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Chapter 2
The mansion was always a bit noisy usually at this time on Saturdays, especially in the morning. Every body was always busy in their own work. Bobby and hank were joking around up in the lab, Scott and Jean were as usual out in the city. Rogue was helping Storm fixing stuff for lunch.
" Remy! C'mon you said that you're gonna take me to the shopping mall today! And don't you dare give me one of your old lame excuses, they're not gonna work with me…"
Jubilee was whining over gambit who just stepped in the house after fixing his bike. 'Old lame exuses…eh? Girl, dis cajun has been wit' you for only 2 weeks…' His white T-shirt and rough jeans were covered with black stuff and some of that was on his hands also. "Hey jubes…gambit'll take ya t' de mall and getch u any'ting ya wan' but…uhh he don't t'ink dis be the right time, neh?
He ran a hand through his auburn hair and stretched painfully. Ignoring every sentence what she said, he tried to quit the conversation when he saw Rogue leaning over the kitchen table with an apple in her hand. She was looking extremely beautiful in the sea-green turtleneck and rough light blue jeans. The sunlight beaming on her face from the window clearly exposed her facial features, creamy-peachy skin with a hint of blush on the cheeks, Pink, smooth pouty lips…. Her hair was tied up in a ponytail, the few long white bangs rested on her forehead, and small tendrils rested on her arm. A flirtatious smile touched her lips as he eyed her. He walked over to her and leaned on the table in the same style she was, with his elbows propped up on the table and his chin resting on them. "Whatcha smilin' at, chere?" He smirked and just like he'd been doing from the first day he had met her, scooped up her delicate, small, gloved hand and lightly kissed the fingers.
Like always, he could always notice a blush in her cheeks that others couldn't notice.She kept chewing the bite and took a gulp as it went down her elegant throat. "Ah was jus'…Nothin' and besides why should ah tell ya…its none of yoah business." She smirked. "Ah'll be raght theah 'Ro…" She yelled to storm who asked rogue if she could come and finish the kitchen task she'd been doing later. She tugged at his nose with her index finger, got up from her position and headed into the kitchen. He stayed at his place thinking what just had happened.
"Hey Remy…You're coming?" Jubilee came behind him and her hands captured his waist in a ring. He turned around and took her in his arms. She just touched his lips with hers and he instinctively replied by kissing her passionately. One of his hands reached down to her calf and he swung her into his arms. Then they traveled up to his room.

His relationship with Jubilee was going smoother than ever, no fights, no misunderstandings, no crying, just happiness, maybe that's what he wanted. He was enjoying his life, it was dull but the love between them was worth it. He never even thought of Rogue and there she was, spending all her nights thinking about him.
"Hey Remy, What are you thinkin' about? Something wrong?" Asked jubilee who snuggled closer to him on the couch. "Non chere, just thinkin' about stuff. Gambit better go now, neh I's pretty late now, neh? Dose guys mus' be waitin' for him. I'll see ya tomorrow mornin'."
With that he kissed her forehead and stood up from the leaning position he had been in while they watched the romantic movie. His abdomen muscles expanded as he stretched. "Nuh-uh, your wrong, those GIRLS must be waiting for you at the bar. Neh?" She said annoyingly.
"C'mon chere, do you t'ink remy would do a t'ing like dat? I'm just goin' to Harry's, 'kay? See ya later, chere" He kissed her fully on the mouth, released her from the waist and exited the front door to the garage to take his bike to the town.
*****
She had been waiting for the past three hours for him. He hadn't come home yet. "Oooh! Why isn't he home yet?!" They were arguing and talking on different things in the kitchen but jubilee couldn't get Remy out of her head.
Bobby shook his head. "For the last time jubes, Gambit is 21!! He can take care of himself! And god knows where he is, out there in the town havin' fun with some, I dunno what people, and YOU…you are here having or will be having a seizure in the next 5 minutes if he's not here."
"What exactly are you trying to say bobby?" She asked suspiciously.
"Look, you don't know gambit very much, I've known him better than you do. Plus how much space is he going to give you in his life? You are aware of the fact that he's not the kind of person who would NOT stay out late and come home early at night and…beg you to go out with him like he used to do with…."
"With who?! Don't tell me you were talking about that southern sweety of you people who left him to die in Antarctica! I'm not trying to be mean but you see it was her own fault for what happened. Every time he came near her, she pushed him away. Now let her face the consequences. No matter how much you try to persuade me that Remy is this and that, I LOVE him and nothin' can change that." She snapped angrily.
"As a matter of fact, You are the one who stole HER remy from her. And you think she's not hurt by what happened with her? She IS. And still she blames herself for all the happenings, even the Antarctica thing."
"Look who's talking, what I think is that…no no let me put it this way. You are jealous of Remy. Ain't ya?" She came closer to him.
"Well, you are 30% correct, but this is true. That I was jealous of Remy before than when he was with Rogue too." He smiled.
"So you're happy that rogue is alone now?" She asked with curiosity.
"Not at all, I'm sorry for what happened. This is not the only time, I've always liked her, from the first time I layed eyes on her, even when she was with gambit and even now when she's not with him. And mind you, don't you ever call her alone, because we're all here to help her. C'mon jubes, its ok you got the hottest cajun guy doesn't mean you look like…"
"Rogue? I don't know what is the thing that is stopping you from admitting to me that you.are.jealous of Remy! She found he was gazing at her while she was braiding her long black shiny hair. So much had changed about her. Her hair, her ways with him, she wasn't the old jubilee anymore who used to joke around the house with bobby and other people and never really took out time to hang out with them or anything, so much had changed.
She looked him right in the eye. "What's the matter, bobby? Look, *sigh* I'm sorry but this thing about Remy your wrong…he's not what you think."
"What ever, we'll see…" He tried to change the topic.
"Umm, bobby, ya see since remy is not home yet, I'd like to go and check up on him. And for that I'll need a car, which I don't have. So can you let me take yours, puleeez? She asked trying to sound innocent.
"Sure, here take the keys and be careful." He took the keys out of his front pocket.
"Thanks! See ya later!" She ran off to the garage.
*****
She felt tears coming out from her eyes but didn't let them fall and kept her composure. Now she regretted that she shouldn't have peeked and listened to their conversation. What does she think she is? Dumb ass…Uh lahk they say, don't cry over spilt milk. Doesn't mattuh, ah don't give a damn to whatevuh they do. Besides ah've got backup…he he, ah love ya ice-cube…thankya. She narrowed her eyes with pleasure. She was a little ashamed of herself too because whatever happened Bobby had always remained on her side and she never even thought of him. Why didn't she have feelings for him before? But now she did. I's time to pay ya back, sugah.
In her hand she took a bowl of whipped cream with strawberries from the fridge and went to the t.v lounge. She was about to jump on the couch but stopped as she saw bobby lying there. "Bobby?! What would've happened if I'd jump on you, ice cube?!"
"Rogue…you would be crying over my grave. No no. ya must have been already dead with embarrassment that you killed a guy with your weight."
"Ya think I'm overweighed?!" She sipped the cream into her mouth.
"Obviously rogue, if a person would eat whipped cream 4 times a day, what do you think she would look like? Nah, I'm just kidding. But the question is where does this stuff go? Hmm.." He looked at her up and down. There was no way she could be overweighed…a person could tell she was a perfect 35" 22" 35", model slim.
She sat down and pushed him over to the corner. "Look ice cube…first of all ah don' eat a lot, second ah'm not a lazy ass lakh ya, ah keep mah butt movin'..
"Woah…I'd like to see that cute 'lil but of yours moving…" He said in a husky voice and came near her, didn't manage to stop until she was completely lying down on the couch. He felt as if her huge eyes were drawing him to her and kept one hand on the couch beside her waist to block her. Both of the faces near, lips so close to touching but he was snapped to reality when the spoon full of cream was thrown onto his face. "Ewwwwe rogue! Why did you do that for?!" He said laughingly.
"Ya out'a yoah mind, bobby?! You'd been melted here on the couch if ah hadn't stopped ya! Stupid! Don't evuh try that again!" She was annoyed. He grabbed a tissue paper from the table and wiped off his face with it. He shook her head at her innocence. Wasn't gonna do it anyway…
"Didn't know you cared." He sat up right and pulled her along. She felt his face became serious as she stared at him. He turned on the T.V and rested his back on the couch and kept one hand at right angle to it. He looked so innocent at that time. Why didn't he evuh try to come close to me? May be 'cuz ah push everyone away. An' that's exactly what ah did raght now…why shouldn't ah let him come neah me? 'Cuz of remy? But he's Jubilee's now…
She was lost in thought. "Rogue…rogue you ok? He waved a hand in front of her eyes… "Hunh? Ah'm…Ah'm ok, look ah'm sorry ah yelled at ya. Its just that ah get scared when somebody comes neah me, that's it…sorry." She made a child like face. "Its ok, now don't get mushy and stuff. I know you inside out." Bobby smiled and pulled her arm so that she lied down and rested her head on the cushion in his lap. "Here." He got up a little to pick up the comforter from the floor. She felt his fingers tickling her a little as he tugged the comforter to her sides. "Thanks Bobby."
"No problemo." He smirked as his arms slid down on her waist and he rubbed and stroked her back. She snuggled close in the warmth of the comforter and was fast asleep after a while.
