Chapter Six

Charles knew that Kelly was coming. When there was a brisk knock at the door, he called for her to come in and sat back to see Logan's daughter. She was definitely more then he had expected because he didn't expect to see a gorgeous young diamond in the rough. Like father like daughter he thought with a sly smile and waited for her to speak.

"Are you Charles Xavier?" She asked, and Charles was normally impressed. Most people normally stared at the wheelchair, or out the window behind him, but she looked him dead in the eye, the burning dark embers locked on his and Charles immediately liked her. "Yes I am, how can I help you Ms.Morgan?" She shook off the weird way he knew her last name and went right to the point.

"Why don't you have a dance program here? You have stables and a huge library. So why no dance?" Charles admired the way her long dancers legs held her ground; her eyes were wide and resembled a feline. "Well Ms.Morgan, I had though about it and while a few people expressed interest, not enough did" Kelly rolled her eyes and gnawed at her bottom lip "I can make them interested!" She nearly cried. "And while the ones who are interested in dancing are just sitting around, not being able to do what they want!"

Charles watched her and smiled slowly. "If you think you can get a sizeable turnout, I'll grant you your dance program" Kelly didn't seem to hear him. "And further more. Wait what?" The look on Kelly's face was so hilarious and Charles had to laugh. "If you can get a turnout of 25 people or more, I'll make the program a final thing. For the first practice, you'll use the cleaned out barn" Kelly's smile split her face and showed her pretty teeth. "Don't worry, I can do it. I just happen to have a secret weapon" Charles raised an eyebrow. "Oh really? What is it?" Kelly laughed. "Well I'd tell you, but then I'd have to kill you"

"Please Scott!" Kelly begged as she dogged his heels down the hallway. "Kelly I like you and all but how am I supposed to teach students how to dance and keep my manhood?" Kelly pulled on his arm and pouted prettily. "You'd be doing me a huge favor and I'd owe you forever" He looked down at the floor and shook his head slowly. "Why do you want me to help you so badly anyway? Why not ask Logan or someone?" Kelly almost burst out laughing. "Somehow I can't see Slick dancing. You know how to dance and it'd be a big help to me to keep the program."

Scott, who had no real defense when it came to women, finally caved in. "Fine, but you're right, you do owe me forever" Kelly squealed with delight and jumped into his arms and kissed him soundly on the mouth. She wrapped her arms around his neck and hugged him tightly. "Oh thank you" She moaned. "He gave us the cleaned out barn, but that's okay because once we get enough people to show up, we'll be able to fill a ballroom!"

He smiled at her excitement and ran his fingers through her hair, which was surprisingly soft. "I'll do this for you Kelly, but what's the real reason you wanted me to do this program with you so badly?" Kelly blushed the color of strawberries and cream. "Because you're such a hunk of eye candy," She said half-joking. Scott laughed and Kelly caught the blush that crept onto his tan cheeks before he ducked his head.

"And y'know," She said as she trailed a finger just over his cheekbone, "if you play your cards right, I'll pay you back" She replaced her fingers with her lips and began to nibble delicately at his jaw. Scott jerked away and gently caught Kelly by the chin. "You're a kid" He said. If it had been anyone else who had said it, Kelly would have been infuriated, but the way Scott has said it, the word 'Kid' meant something precious, something to be handled with care.

Still she pulled away from his hand and raised an eyebrow at his dark glasses. "What's with the glasses, I've noticed that you wear them all the time" Scott shrugged. "I have this kind of condition. My eyes are beams.I know how ridiculous that sounds, but if I look at anything without them, I'd blow the whole place to shit" Kelly laughed and Scott looked a little worried. "I'm sorry," She said in between fits of giggles. "It's just funny the way that you said it. Now come on," She said as she gripped his hand and almost pulled him to the stairs. "Wait," He said as he stubbornly dug his heels in the carpet. "Where are we going?" She sighed and tugged at his arm. "To check out the barn now come ON" She tugged at him again and he toppled on top of her.

"What is going on here?" Logan asked as he stood in the doorway of the library. The sight of seeing Scott Summers on top of his daughter was not something he wanted to see. "Logan this isn't what it looks like," Scott said as he scrambled to his feet. He ignored Scott and set his angry dark gaze on Kelly who was sitting on the floor with her knees brought up to her chest. "Kelly I want to have a talk with you" He said roughly and walked off, leaving her a chance to follow or make an escape, but she followed.

"What's the matter with you?" She asked when she found him later. He laughed harshly and shook his head. "I should be asking you that. What the hell was Scott doing on top of you?" Kelly rolled her identical dark eyes. "We fell, I was trying to take him outside and I guess we lost our balance. We weren't doing anything" Logan measured her evenly and said. "Have you had sex before?" Kelly's mouth dropped open. "Slick com'on!" He ignored her protest and asked it again.

"No" Kelly said and raised a challenging eyebrow. "Would you rather if I did? Would it make you happy if I went out and spread my legs for any guy?" Annoyance and a feeling he wasn't used to was curling in his stomach. "No, don't be ridiculous. It's just that Scott and I don't get along that great" Kelly seemed confused. "So that means I can't like him?" "He's older then you Kelly" He said at a loss of other things to say.

"You're older then me" "That's another matter completely" Kelly wanted to laugh but she decided that it wasn't the time or place. She was glad that Logan was mad; it showed that he wasn't a brick. "I don't see it." Logan wanted to scream. "It is. You know it is. I don't want you being with Scott alone anymore". This time, Kelly did laugh. "You can't tell me whom I can and can't see" She turned to leave the room.

Even he didn't like to admit it, he admired Kelly, she stood her ground and didn't cringe like many others did. Without a second thought on the matter, he went after her and stopped in the middle of the stairway. "Kelly!" He called out and she turned around annoyed. "What?" She asked. "I want to apologize" She tapped her foot irritably. "I'm late, besides how are you going to apologize?" A small grin crossed his face. "I'm going to take you sailing"

Kelly's eyes widened. "No Slick, I hate boats, I had a bad experience on a boat once" Amused and not willing to give in easily. "Surely you can't hate all boats," He said a little incredulously. "Yeah, all boats" Logan smiled and checked his watch. "You'll love this boat, I promise" Kelly looked nervous as she shifted from foot to foot. "Promise?" He held up three fingers. "Scouts honor" Kelly rolled her eyes playfully. "That only works if you were a boy scout Slick" "Oh damn" He said with a wink. "So are you going to come with me or not?" Staring down at her feet, she ran her fingers through her hair. "Fine, but if you make me sick, you'll be sorry"
