A/N: Sorry the last chapter was kinda rushed, I guess I jus wanted to get it over it before my time on the computer was over. But thanks for reviewing and letting me know anyway! Here's chapter 3, enjoy!
An Angel's Touch - Chapter 3
"So like did you hear Rogue?" asked Kitty knowing Rogue would be happy from hearing the news.
"No, what?"
"Like duh, Gambit decided to stay with us! Like only everyone in the Institute knows about it!" said Kitty a little disappointed at Rogue's lack of interest.
"Yeah, so what else is new? There's a new person joining the Institute every week!" said Rogue who couldn't care less.
"Oh common you mean to tell me you have no feelings for him whatsoever?" said the persistent Kitty.
"Kitty, just don't go there," said Rogue with *that* look.
Kitty understood what that meant and decided to leave knowing Rogue didn't want to talk about the whole I can't get involved with anyone ever thing.
As she was about to leave, Rogue suddenly said with a smile, "So um what room is he staying in? I'm jus wondering, it's not like Ah wanna go in there and ask him out or something so don't take it the wrong way!"
"Like calm down Rogue, anyway, his room is right next to ours I think," said Kitty.
"Ok thanks Kitty."
"Sure no prob" said Kitty walking out of the room.
'I know she'll find love someday' thought Kitty as she decided to call Lance to just have her usual talk with him knowing it would maker her feel better.
Rogue began to read her book when Kurt suddenly teleported in her room.
"Ahhh! Kurt, how many times have I told ya not to do that?" said Rogue in an exasperated tone.
"Oh sorry sis, jus came to tell you that Professor wants us all down for dinner now," said Kurt.
"Oh ok, Ah'll be right down."
"Hey Rogue can I ask you something?"
"Um sure, as long as it has nothing to do with Gambit and me," said Rogue afraid of having someone else talk to her about 'him.'
"Oh ok then I won't," said Kurt disappointedly.
"Ugh! Wat's the matter with ya people, Ah only pretended to seduce him and now everyone thinks Ah'm in love with him or something! Why can't you guys understand what I'm going through and mind your own business?" said Rogue starting to get pissed again.
"Woah, calm down sis, I'm sorry, didn't mean to piss you off like that," said Kurt knowing he wouldn't want to ever get on Rogue's bad side again.
"It's ok I'm sorry too."
There was a moment of silence until Kurt says laughing, "Yeah but it would be interesting to see you guys together!!"
"Ugh!! That's it! You're dead elf!" said Rogue as she picked up a pillow and threw it at him but Kurt had already teleported out of the room.
"Damn!" cursed Rogue after he had left.
When she opened the door she gasped.
"Hello chere I was thinking about what the elf jus said," said Gambit with a smirk.
"Were ya like listening to our conversation or something?" asked Rogue trying not to stare at his handsome face.
"I jus came outta of my room and I heard some talking and so decided to see what the whole commotion was about, that's all!" said Gambit not taking his eyes off her.
"Wutever I'm outta here!" said Rogue as Gambit grabbed her hand.
"Wait a minute chere, Gambit wants to be friends with the beautiful temptress!"
"Look wutever ya say, now go flirt with someone else for a change. Trust me, Ah'm really not your type! And the name is Rogue," said Rogue leaving.
As she was walking away, Gambit couldn't help stare at her figure from the back.
'Feisty… Gambit likes that a lot! Strange name for such a beautiful girl' thought Gambit not able to get Rogue out of his mind.
Gambit just stared at Rogue the whole time during the dinner. Everyone noticed besides her. She obviously could care less. However, Scott was flaring in the inside seeing Gambit stare at her like that.
'Scott, you should really calm down, the last thing we want to do right now is scare him off,' said the Professor telepathically to Scott.
'Well I can't take it anymore, so I think it's best that I leave,' said Scott rising up.
"Uh guys, I don't feel so well so I'm gonna just going to call it a night, see you all in the morning, I think I just lost my appetite," said Scott looking at Gambit.
"Alright man see ya in the morning," said Kurt.
"Good night bro," said Evan waving bye to Scott.
Jean had read Scott's mind as well and therefore went to talk to him.
"Hey Scott, you ok or something?" asked Jean catching up to him.
"Um yeah I just need to cool off that's all."
"You don't trust him do you?" asked Jean
"Ofcourse I don't, I know he has a really specific reason why he's staying here because he was pretty reluctant to come with us when we met him for the first time. There's just something suspicious about him." said Scott.
"Look I'm not asking you to be his friend or something but just give it a little time. Go easy on him. Besides he'll be in the same school as all of us tomorrow," said Jean.
"Yeah I guess you're right, but don't tell me you didn't see the way he's been looking at Rogue ever since he got here," Scott said with jealousy in his voice.
"So what, he probably has the hots for her, I mean who wouldn't, Rogue's a great girl." said Jean.
"Yeah, she is…" said Scott thinking of her.
"Well, I better go now, see ya in the morning."
"Good night Jean and thanks for the talk."
"Yeah no prob."
Next day everyone was getting ready for school. Mostly everyone was in the kitchen eating something. Rogue was the last one to get there as usual. But to everyone surprise, Gambit still hadn't arrived yet. He arrived right after Rogue. Most girls spit their food out surprisingly when they saw Gambit. Their jaws hit the floor. Gambit looked completely different- he looked much younger in his new makeover. He was wearing baggy jeans and a t- shirt that complimented his body. He had his usual sunglasses on similar to Scott's glasses. He looked adorable and like a schoolboy with the bookbag on his shoulders. Even Rogue was staring at him like he was the biggest hunk there!
"What? Why's everyone staring at me like that?" asked Gambit blushing.
"Nice look Gambit!" said Kitty basically speaking for all the girls there.
"Yeah, I see you have finally got Rogue's attention!" said Jean looking at Rogue.
"Wutever Jean" said Rogue blushing furiously and finally changing to her usual 'I don't give a shit about anything look.'
Kurt, Evan, and Scott were apparently jealous as they just stood there not saying anything. Then Jean gave him a dirty look.
"You need a ride or something cuz usually I give everyone a ride to school," said Scott finally speaking up.
"Sure why not," said Gambit joining rest of them in Scott's car.
"Hey you like never told us how old you are," said Kitty curiously.
"Oh right, I'm 16," said Gambit.
I can show you around if you don't mind," said Jean.
"Sure," said Gambit taking the chance of hanging out with another beautiful member of X-Men.
Rogue was getting jealous of how Gambit was paying attention to Jean all the sudden. 'Ah should be happy he's not bothering me anymore, wut's wrong with me?' wondered Rogue.
The gang was stopped by the Brotherhood gang again.
"Wut's up geek-squad? Hey who's the new geek?" asked Toad.
"For your information his name is Gambit and now buzz off freak!" said Evan getting angry.
"Calm down Evan, we don't want to bring attention to ourselves" said Jean.
They were leaving as Pietro suddenly came up to Rogue. "So what's up Roguey? How's life at the geek manor treating you?" asked Pietro.
"Hey why don't you just leave her alone?" asked Gambit getting jealous of how close he was to Rogue.
"Hey, Ah can speak for myself, ya know!" said Rogue getting irritated.
"Who's he your new boyfriend?" asked Pietro getting jealous as well.
"For the last time, no he's not my boyfriend so jus leave me alone!" said Rogue leaving them.
"Common bro, let's jus go," said Lance.
"Wutever, I'll see ya later," said Pietro.
'Looks like I have some competition now. Don't worry Rogue, I'll make you mine if it's the last thing I do and you'll regret joining the X freaks!' thought Pietro with a smirk on his face.
