'Rogue... Rogue get up...'
Rogue grimaced as she heard the shade being pulled up and the hot sunshine burning her face. She squinted against the sun, and managed to reach up and pull down the shade again, rolling over.
'Like, oh my god Rogue, we're going to be late for breakfast!' came Kitty's voice. Her annoying valley girl accent rang in Rogue's ears like an alarm clock. But Rogue smiled.
'Ah'm comin' just five more minutes...' Rogue rolled over again pulling the covers over her head.
'Oh no! This is what happens every morning! Get up before I ... I..' Kitty seemed to be thinking of something to do to Rogue. But there was no need, for Rogue sat up, red eyed, fluffy haired but still smiling weakly. Kitty stared, apparently shocked as Rogue stretched and walked toward the door. Getting Rogue up was not what you would call a fun or safe chore, but today it was as if a whole other person was getting up in Rogue's body.
Rogue mentally noted that she had woken up in her own room. Remy must have taken me back after ah fell asleep, Rogue thought to herself smiling a bit more widely. Now that she thought of it, that was a wise move, seeing as he probably would have been mercilessly interrogated by Logan if she stumbled out of his room at 6 in the morning.
Rogue shuffled down the hall, still in her pajamas, looking more than a little frazzled. She walked into the dining hall, receiving mixed looks on whether anyone should comment about her... appearance.
'Rogue, you look tired.' Scott commented, dancing around the 'you look like hell' topic.
'Maybe if she'd been asleep at 2 in the morning she'd look a little more herself.' Jean said, in an almost bitter tone. After all she'd lost some of her precious beauty sleep.
'Yeah, what could have been so important at 2 AM that you just HAD to run around the mansion waking everyone up?' Evan said, looking as though he was going to fall face first into his cereal bowl.
'Ah dunno...' Rogue said uncharacteristically cheery. 'Ah was just excited.'
'Excited about what?' Ororo said kindly. But before Rogue could answer the door bell rang. Logan was about to get up when Rogue put up her hand.
'Don't bother, ah'll get it!' Rogue said getting up and walking to the front hall. Everyone stared after her.
'Maybe she's sick...' Jean said, an eyebrow raised as she checked to see Rogue was out of earshot.
'She's probably just tired.' Scott shrugged.
'Maybe she vos abducted by aliens and zey replaced her vith one of dere comrades!' Kurt said jokingly, before being hit in the head with a spoon.
Meanwhile in the front hall, Rogue was hurrying to the door. She opened it grinning widely, but the smile disappeared as she realized who it was at the door. There stood Stokely, Adam, Daring.... and Kerri.
'Rogue!' Stokely exclaimed throwing herself onto her. Rogue smiled, not un- genuinely. Just cautiously.
'Hey Rogue-y.' said Daring and Adam together, both smiling. 'Can we come in?'
'NO!' they all stared at her, blinking, perhaps trying to look politely confused. 'Ah... ah mean no... this is kinda.. a bad time.'
'Well, looks like we better go then.' Kerri said happily. It seemed she didn't want to be there at all. But Stokely didn't look at all convinced.
'You're lying.'
'Dunno what ya'll are talking about!' Rogue said, trying to sound a bit irritated.
'You stutter when you lie.' Rogue thought about this. Actually she only stuttered when she lied to Stokes. It was just something that happened, and had happened since they'd met.
'Come on Stokes!' Adam said. 'We have to go and visit my aunt and uncle still.'
'Ah promise ah'll visit ya in Maine!' Rogue said egging Stokely on. Stokely looked puzzled.
'But we don't live in Maine.' She said slowly. 'We live in New Jersey...'
Rogue wanted to slap Stokely. She was making things soooo difficult. Why couldn't she just go! Kerri was yawning and filing her nails, looking completely disinterested. Adam seemed to just want to get out of there and on the road again as if Rogue made him nervous. And Daring was... staring at Rogue intently. Rogue felt her cheeks burn a bit from this... not all together unwanted attention. As if right on cue, Remy came down the stairs.
'Chere, who at de door?' he said trying to look around her. Rogue almost slammed the door shut so that she was outside. Kerri gave out an exasperated cry.
'Oh my god, I can so see what you're doing!' she said throwing her arms down to her side.
'Ya... can...'
'Well yeah, I'm not stupid!' Kerri said in a sarcastic tone. 'You're trying to get rid of us because you have a fuck buddy over!' she said matter of factly.
Rogue almost laughed, it was such a big relief, such a big joke.
'A.. a... fuck buddy?' she said shaking with laughter. Kerri just gave her a disgusted look and turned around, heading for the car.
'Come ON Adam, get this thing going, let's get out of here!' she said walking down the drive, Adam chasing after in a puppy dog fashion. Rogue turned her attention back to Stokes and Daring, both of whom seemed to be blushing.
'You should have told me, I... I wouldn't have tried to argue so much...' Stokely said.
'Yeah.. Um... it was nice seeing you Rogue.' Daring said as he turned sharply and walked quickly back to the car. Rogue was going to call after him but thought better of it.
'Ah don't have a fuck buddy, Stokes you know that right?' Rogue said smiling, trying not to burst out laughing again.
'Well... you haven't called us lately.. I don't really know anything about you anymore...' Stokes said shyly. Rogue patted her shoulder.
'Ah wanted to... ah've been... busy.' She sighed. 'Mah love life is actually goin' somewhere these days.'
'Is that supposed to surprise me?' Stokely half laughed as she began to walk down to the station wagon in the drive, which was honking loudly at her. 'I'll Call you later okay!'
'Ya bettah or ah'm gonna hafta hunt ya down!' Rogue said smiling. 'Hey last time I talked to ya, ya said somethin' about a boy...'
'Oh yeah! His Name's Ryan....but I haven't seen him much lately... I don't know if he really likes me.'
'Trust meh!' Rogue called after her as she got in the car. 'He's a good investment!' She waved as the wagon pulled out of the driveway and went down the road. Rogue heaved a great sigh. Well that was that. But now she was back to guessing what the future would hold for her.
She turned but bumped into someone and almost fell backwards. She looked up and saw two glowing red eyes that seemed to smile down at her.
'Fuck buddy, eh?' he said with an air of a laugh in his tone. Rogue smiled tauntingly.
'Don't get any ideas, Cajun.' She said taking his hand and walking him up the drive.
'It makes sense, no?' he said laughing. 'That's why chere really loves Remy... it's a physical thing?'
'Well ah won't deny... ya aren't the ugliest critter ah evah dated.' She said smiling. Remy grabbed his chest.
'Dat hurts chere.' He swung her around. 'Cuz Remy tinks chere is the most beautiful girl he ever loved.' Rogue smiled.
'Is that so?' she said softly. He nodded. 'Well then ah think a lil bit a proof is in order.' She pulled him down a bit do that his face hovered over hers, and she bit her lip trying to get him to come the rest of the way on his own. He smiled, getting the message and came down so that his lips were almost covering hers. But he stopped. He wanted to play her game and get her to kiss him. He hovered for a few seconds and heard Rogue's voice so close to his mouth.
'Gambit.'
'Yeah chere.'
'Tell meh ya love meh.' She said her voice barely over a whisper.
'I love you more den anyting in da world.'
'Then kiss me ya damn Cajun fool.' Her voice was half playful and half serious beyond a doubt. So he lent down the rest of the way, and kissed her until Kitty came out to yell that they're food was getting cold. And as they walked inside, hand in hand, Remy said something that made Rogue feel that she could never eat again.
'One day, Remy's gonna marry you, chere.'
'Ah know Remy. Ah know.'
