Fates Duet

Chapter 3

"A kiss on the hand is quite continental"

Rogue shoved her gloved hands into her pockets, as she walked along the chilly, autumn sidewalk to the Bayville Art Museum. She enjoyed cloudy days, they were rather comforting to her. She also enjoyed visiting the Art Museum. To her, it was the perfect way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

She headed up the beige stone steps and through the shiny glass doors. She dug around in her pockets for a few coins, and dropped them in the large fountain of a fish with its tail in the air, sprouting water out of its mouth.

"Maybe ah'll get some good luck today" she said to herself.

She walked down the carpeted hallways, admiring the work of many famous and local artists. To her, a painting was more than a picture. It was a story, about the artist and his life. She had tried to explain this to Kitty one time, who just shrugged and began talking about Lance. She was in the middle of 'reading' a painting set during the French Revolution, with a man getting spliced in the guillotine, when a husky, Cajun voice said:

"Well, well, well. Remy sees that his Chere is more than just a pretty face"

Rogue spun around and came face to face with none other than the Stupid, Bass-playing Cajun.

"You!" She glared "What do ya want from me?"

The Cajun simply gave her another heart-breaking smile, his Red and black eyes dancing with amusement.

"Remy was simply enjoying the magnificent works of art. But now, Remy's found something better to admire"

Rogue turned away in disgust.

"Ah don't want to hear any of yah stupid pick up lines that yah seem to think will fool any girl, just leave me alone!"

"Ouch Chere, that hurt" Remy said while pouting at her.

Rogue glared, and moved onto the next painting, hoping that he would get the hint and leave her alone.

"Remy thinks Chere makes that picture look ugly, with her beautiful looks"

Rogue turned around again, to see Remy grinning at her.

"Don't yah have anythin' better ta do, other than following me around?" Se hissed angrily.

"Sure. But Remy would rather waste his time on Chere" He grinned slyly.

"Ugh, leave me alone, yah cheap slimeball" She glared, and pushed past him, her cheeks now flaming red.

She stormed quickly out of the Museum her white and auburn hair flying behind her. She glared at the fountain as she past it.

"Some luck that gave me" she muttered.

Once again, she was walking down the chilly sidewalk, which was decorated with the red and gold fallen leaves from the near by trees.

"Chere likes to play hard-to-get, eh?"

Rogue stopped in her tracks and turned around angrily, to see Remy leaning against a tree looking amused.

"Ah'd rather play, Leave me alone!" She said through gritted teeth "And ah'm not your 'Chere'"

Remy chucked and strode up to her.

"Remy likes playin' games" He whispered in her ear. He was very close to her. She could feel his warm breath tickle her ear.

"G-get away from me" She stammered, and pushed him slightly, her face now redder than Jeans hair.

Remy pretended to look hurt.

"I see. Remy knows where he's not wanted"

"Took yah long enuff tah comprehend" She muttered

He took her gloved hand and planted a small kiss on it.

"'Till we meet again, Chere" He grinned while letting go of her hand, and walking off in the opposite direction.

It took a moment for Rogue to realize what he had just done.

"Ah'll have to disinfect mah gloves now" She glared, then yelled

"AND AH'M NOT YAH CHERE!"
