Remy pulled up outside of the Library and parked his bike. Before he
dismounted he ran his fingers through his hair, tenderly touching the knot
that was forming on the back of his head. As he was pulling out of his
apartment complex he had gunned the motorcycle and sent Mrs. Shelter's cat
up a tree. It had been an accident but man was that little old lady mad.
She had refused to let Remy leave until he retrieved her cat. When he said
he had somewhere to be she had started hitting him with her purse. For a
frail looking old woman she had sure packed a punch.
Remy poked the knot and winced. Mrs. Shelter must carry bricks around in that purse or something. He got off of the bike and slowly made his was to the club, trying to ignore his throbbing head. The bouncer let him in after checking his id, and Remy made his way to the bar for a drink. As he was sitting there sipping his beer, his eyes surveyed the room. He was looking for the owners when he noticed the lone figure dancing on the lower stage.
'Gambit get all de luck it seems,' Remy thought taking another drink from his beer; his eyes never leaving the swaying figure. There, on the stage, dressed to kill, was Rogue. 'Who needs a poker game when you can get the femme of your dreams non?' Remy glanced at his watch. He still had a good 36 hours before he would have to take another dose of the serum.
Magneto's formula was designed to last 48 hours. Remy had to drink one of the small vials every other day to become and stay immune to Rogue. He was glad now that he had started drinking the bluish liquid as soon as Magneto had given it to him. He hadn't been sure when he would run into the auburn haired beauty and had wanted to be prepared.
'Now is as good as time as any,' Remy thought as he sat down his drink and made his way towards the stage.
Rogue and Pietro had seen Gambit enter the club. Pietro had left her and joined Kurt and Evan in hopes that Rogue would catch Remy's attention and lure him over to her. 'It seems to be working,' Rogue thought, as she watched the mutant push away from the bar and make his way towards her.
Rogue's eye lids fluttered closed and she once again let the music take her over. She wanted him to forget about her deadly skin. Tempt him to touch her and thus allow her to absorb his memories. Then Rogue would know where her bike was.
Warm breath tickled her ear and Rogue turned around startled. She hadn't known that he was that close to her. His red on black eyes were boring into her green ones, and for a second Rogue found it hard to breath. "Are you here alone petite?" Remy asked in his Cajun accent.
A smile played across Rogue's face and she took a step forward; her breast brushing against his chest. "I'm not alone now that you're here Sugah." Remy placed his hands on her covered hips and began to dance with her. He was a little surprised to see her here, but he knew she couldn't be alone. It didn't take Gambit long to spot Kitty and Lance dancing in the middle of the main floor, and a glance toward the booths confirmed his suspicions. Pietro was here with two of the other X-men.
'This be a set up Remy do believe,' He thought to himself. Rogue had placed her hands against his clothed chest and was rubbing up against him provocatively. 'Why doesn't she touch me?' Remy wondered. Not that it would have had any affect; well it wouldn't if the serum worked correctly. This had to be about the motorcycle. 'That clever minx planned it all.' Not wanting to play by her rules any more Remy to the initiative. He pulled her close and lowered his lips to hers.
Rogue gasped in surprise when Remy began to kiss her. Forgetting about her own lethal skin she kissed him back. The only thing that ran through her mind was how different it was from kissing Pietro. Not necessarily better, just different. When Pietro kissed her, it was light and sweet. This, however, was deep and full of longing.
Rogue finally came to her sense and broke the kiss. When she opened her eyes she saw Remy with a big smirk across his face. 'OMG he's still standing. How is this possible,' Rogue thought frantically. Her mouth was opening and closing, making her resemble a guppy. Remy continued to smirk.
Taking a deep breath Rogue regained her composure. Flipping her hair, she raised her eyes to meet Remy's once more. "That certainly was unexpected." "What can he say? Gambit be full of surprises Chere," Remy replied. "Maybe we can take this outside? I need some air after that lil performance darlin'." Rogue pretended to fan herself as she glance around the room.
Kitty and Lance were still dancing, but Pietro, Kurt, and Evan were no where to be found. "He probably pitched a fit when that swamp rat kissed me," Rogue mumbled under her breath. "What was that Chere?" Remy asked leaning down and nuzzling her neck. Rogue turned on him, "I said, can we please get out of here. I've had enough of this bar scene to last me a life time."
Rogue's mind was reeling with possibilities that allowed Gambit to be immune to her. Her thoughts were interrupted however when Remy grabbed her hand and tugged her towards the door. "How about we take a ride on this beautiful new motorcycle I happen to be in possession of?" Rogue's shoulders stiffened, but she refused to turn around. 'Just wait till we get outside, then you can deck him,' Rogue kept repeating to herself.
Finally the two mutants were out the door and headed for the parking lot. Rogue saw her bike and made her way over to it. She was checking it for any damage when Remy caught up with her. He reached out to touch her shoulder when she turned around to face him. "You have one minute to explain," Rogue said, tapping her foot in agitation. "Explain what petit?" Remy looked confused. "Thirty seconds," Rogue had halted the tapping and stepped toward Remy. "Time's up."
A/N: Cliff hanger. Although at the time I am writing this fanfiction is refusing to work for me. So I might have another chapter done by the time I can post it. But anyway, I have to tell you , this isn't my favorite chapter, I liked the beginning but somewhere in the middle it started to not sit well with me. I feel like it is not up to my normal standards but I have no idea how else to write this part of the story. Hopefully this isn't the beginning of some type of funk. B/c I would really like to finish this story sometime soon. I have another story I'm starting to work on, so I might not update as often but I'm going to try, so please Review, weather good or bad and tell me what you think!!
