Chapter 3: Forgiven
"I know…I know what that girl meant to you, and why her hand was in yours, and I know why she was sitting so close to you, and I also know why you have lipstick on your lips!" Jubilee added as she burst into the house with gambit behind her.
He touched his index finger lips and made a face when the slight shimmer of brown color reflected on it.
"Chere, please give me a chance t' speak. Let me explain. Look, dat girl didn't mean any'ting to me, 'k? I just met 'er an'.."
"And what?! She looked at you with sparkly eyes and fell in love with you? There is no doubt that she was extremely beautiful but…Huh! I don't know what to say. Moreover, I'm certainly not gonna blame her. I'm going to blame You! I don't know how your Roguie toler.." She was about to say how your Roguie tolerated you but didn't speak further.
"Don't." He warned. "I've had enough of dat, please don' bring her into dis. I know we made some mistakes but…"
"My, my, look at you, still taking her side even though she left you in Antarctica, the girl who never took a single chance to believe in you. I don't know what to say Remy, I really don't. G'night."
He stood there silent not able to think why didn't he explain her that. "Good job gambit, good job, keep it up. You'd get a hundred percent at pissing dese x-woman off."
He kicked the door shut with a bang and went to the T.V lounge.
Woah! He saw the T.V was turned on with low volume and bobby was staring at rogue's sleeping form and how he was stroking her back as she lay to one side. His eyes burned fire. There was something on his mind that he couldn't figure out but one thing that he wished to do was to pop his eyeballs out. He hated the way he was looking at her. She was never impressed by ya ice-boy an' even now when she not wit' me, ya 'tink ya gonna have her dat easily? No way…Mon'ami."
"Hey Bobby. What's up? Looks like ya got a 'lil too bored wit'out Hank, no?" He whispered trying not to wake her up as he kneeled down in front of the sofa.
"Well, not exactly…Rogue was the one who was getting a 'lil bored and was tired too so I just comforted her a little. Something wrong with that?"
Her auburn hair was falling to the couch's side nearly touching the ground. Gambit brushed an annoying strand off from her face as she stirred in her sleep. She looked so peaceful and rested when her chest moved rhythmically as she breathed. He kept his eyes on her and brushed his fingers through her hair. "I dunno Mon'ami but Rogue usually don't like somebody touchin' 'er like dat. 's pretty obvious t' all of us, neh?"
What the hell does he think he's doin'? Gambit didn't realize that even after breaking up with Rogue, he couldn't get the jealousy of Bobby over Rogue out of his mind.
"C'mon gambit, she didn't even flinch away an inch from me so why should I care about touching or not touching her. And what do you care? Don't worry, she's fine." Good good…so after all he is jealous.
His eyes blazed red like fire, and was about to grab his collar and jerk him forward but didn't manage to do such an act when Rogue stirred and moaned in sleep. "Chill iceboy…gambit jus' wan'ed t' know if she be okay. An' I can get the meanin' of yer words watch' yer tryin' to say. Dat be true dat I'm wit jubilee now but I never denied caring f' her."
"I know that, yeah whatever. Back there I could here jubilee shouting somethin' about some girl or somethin' like that. What happened? "
"What's de matter wit' you?" he snapped angrily. "Either its dat yer angry at me for leavin' rogue or dat at datin' jubilee, But by dis time, I'm beginning t' find out dat yer jealous 'f mine an' jubilee's relationship,no? Huhhhh, better go now, 'night boy." He gently lifted the blanket and covered Rogue's shoulders with it.

The sunlight peeked into her emerald jewels and she blinked her eyes open. 'Hunh? How'd ah get in here?' She saw herself rapped up in a blanket in her room and smiled as she remembered that she had slept in the T.V lounge the other night. Cyclops had been calling them for red alerts and night duties constantly throughout the week and she had slept enough to wear out the tiredness. How 'bout a refreshing shower. Enough of the sleep.The moah ya sleep, the moah ya get lazy. She got up and went to her closet and opened it. Her t-shirts were neatly folded and were kept on top of each other in the corner. And the already ironed pairs of jeans neatly hung into rows. She took out a pair of Jeans and a warm, beige colored, full sleeve shirt. The small jeans jacket was already thrown on the bed so she went into the bathroom for a nice refreshing shower.

Gambit sat in the kitchen with a coffee mug in his hand. He seemed deep in thought. He turned his head at the sound of someone coughing behind him. "Hey chere."
Jubilee's expression was much better than the other night.
"T'anks for forgivin' dis tief, chere. He couldn't spend de time wit'out ya." He smiled even-though she hadn't said a word since the night of the fight. He pulled on her arm forcefully so she dropped into his lap. He
"Who says I forgave you?" She smiled secretively.
"You didn't? Look, I'm sorry chere for what happened yesterday, it's just, you know de slutty girls in de bar…dey just get on m' nerves. I'm sorry." He stroked her cheek.
She glared him deep into the eyes until her expression settled into a normal one.
"O.k I forgive you, So you're taking me shoppin' today, huh?"
"That would be such a great idea…especially when you'll hear this news." Smiled Ororo as she gracefully stepped into the kitchen with Rogue and Bobby following her. Jubilee suddenly got up from her place and stood beside Ororo.
"Mornin' Stormy." Remy walked over to her and tilted his head side ways thinking so she would kiss him on the cheek. She shook her head and did so. Remy in fact didn't forget to look at jubilee who was standing with both arms crossed on her chest. He winked at her.
"So what was I saying…yup the news…what's the news?" Jubilee asked.
"'Cuz we're havin' a party sugah." She had a paper in her hand.
"Ah mean we're going to a party…This letter from…" She shuffled with the envelope and the paper in her hand and just dropped her hand down just to tell the news instead of reading it from the paper that she had just gotten from the mail box.
"Uhh…remembuh the new year party from the Harry's we were goin' t' about two weeks ago an' it was delayed? So basically they have invited all the membuhs of the Harry's club t' the New Year party which is goin' to held together with their fifth anniversary of the restaurant or wherever we go to."
"Ewwwe…man I'm not going to any party and stuff."
"Bobby……" She smiled. "They have free food…but anyway ya already said that ya don' wanna go…" She added playfully.
"Free food!? Now you're talkin' Rogue. May be I should just hang along with you guys rather than watchin' movies late till night, besides they've got no decent rated movies.."
"Bobby! Yoah actin' as if we don' give ya anythin' t' eat an' ya starve day an' night! An' the movies…Ah know pretty much 'bout yoah taste in movies, sugah.."
"C'mon rogue…obviously a person would starve if he would be given Jean's burnt food 24 hours! You know how jean cooks. And 'Ro? She doesn't know the meaning of 'I'm-not-a-vegetarian!' Gambit's spices set you on fire till three days and you spend the rest of your week in the bathroom. Jubilee is such a girly, she doesn't know anything except shopping. Scott's too busy makin' excuses that he's too busy in his work and doesn't have time to cook, that's what I'm thankful for though. Logan thinks that we're all animals like him and eat raw meat! You're the only one left rogue…my only partner…who thinks the best of him and cooks yummy fried chicken for him, whenever he says…"
"Bobby! Why are ya so hyper in the mornin's?! Mah ears are hurtin'! And excuse me, Ah didn't hear th' last lines of your lengthy speech that said somethin' about chicken an' stuff?." She kept both her hands on her ears and walked past gambit. He watched as the two played and joked around the kitchen.
"No, seriously Rogue, you're one good cooker except that you add a little more spice in the chicken.
"C'mon popsicle..stop butterin' meh..ah'm not goin' t' make food for ya at any cost! Remembuh what ya did last time? Yah made a promise that yah would wash the dishes for meh, instead yah ate every bit of mah chicken, burped and said that it wasn't the best food you'd ever eaten plus you went and took a nap for two hours! Poor me…ah had to do all the dishes by mahself but then Remy actually bribed me by helping meh with the dishes an'…"
She stopped at the memory when they had been together and Remy had bribed her tat he would help her with the dishes, although it was the task he hated the most and in return asked her to go out with him.
"Would you two stop fighting and do your breakfast?" Pleaded storm.
"Ok Ok" Both of them said simultaneously and everybody got busy in the breakfast just as Scott and Jean arrived.
Something was wrong with him…why did he keep on noticing Rogue even though he didn't love her anymore? He pushed all the thoughts away and took a seat beside his lover.
