Chapter Three: All In One Package
"Paroysiasi Damia Eneas." (Presenting Damia Eneas). A man announced as she walked down the steps along side Rogue. Rogue was then introduced as well.
It was the day of Mr. Ares birthday celebration, and both Rogue and Damia looked superb in their formal wear. Damia wore a burgundy silk dress, which contoured to her figure. It had a long slit at the right reaching all the way up to her thigh. It had ruffled sleeves and a v-neck line. Her hair was puller back into a braid with a few locks surrounding her face. She had a string of black pearls around her neck and matching bracelet and earrings. Since it was a masked ball she wore a burgundy lace blindfold over her eyes with holes so she could see.
Rogue looked just a dazzling. She wore a white dress that met all her curves till a few inches past the hip, which flowed out over her legs. It was sleeveless and had no straps to hold it up. She wore elbow length white gloves, and a pearl set similar to Damia'sexcept they were white. Her hair was curled in small banana curls with some of her hair pulled back into a clip. Her white bangs stayed to frame her face. She had a white lace mask over her eyes in the same style as Damia's.
As the two walked into the ballroom, a young man in a black tux came over to greet him. "Hello Damia, and?"
"Rogue." She said politely.
"He kissed her hand and introduced himself. "I'm Celeus Ares, son of the man who is celebrating tonight."
Rogue nodded. "It's a lovely party." She was impressed with his English, and even more impressed with his looks. ^^Damia didn't say he was this good looking.^^ Rogue thought to herself.
Celeus turned to Damia with a smile, and asked "Would you allow me the honor of this dance?"
Rogue could tell that he definitely liked her friend, and she could tell her friend didn't reciprocate the feeling. Damia looked at Rogue for permission and the southerner nodded with a smile and a wink which made Damia glare at her. Rogue just smiled and watched the two head toward the dance floor.
Not soon after Damia had left Rogue's side she was asked to dance. Rogue accepted, and headed onto the dance floor as well still keeping an eye on Damia, even though she knew that nothing would happen. But the guy might still try.
After a few dances Rogue watched Damia and Celeus head toward the balcony. Rogue excused herself and followed behind the two. She stood in the shadows listening in. They were speaking in Greek, but Damia had made Rogue absorb her so she could get around the island without her if necessary.
Damia leaned against the rail off the balcony looking out at the view of her homeland. "Einai mia kali nichta."(It's a lovely night.) Damia smiled.
"Ochi toso kalos opos eseis." (Not as lovely as you.) Celeus replied with a smile.
^^That's the best he could come up with?^^ Rogue thought as she listened from her hiding place.
"Eucharisteo." (Thank you.) Damia met his gaze; she was rather uncomfortable with Celeus. She knew her liked her, and was aiming to make her his wife. But she would never consent. Also she knew there was more to it than just her beauty that compelled him to her. Her wealth also made her an ideal bride.
"Ilpiza oti da mporoysa na echo tin eycharistst tis epicheirisis sas pali sto simvallomeno meros gia to moiseio. Einai poly eicharisto sas na dnsei ena tetoio politimo cheiropoiito antikeimena." (I was hoping that I could have the pleasure of your company again at the party for the museum. It is very gracious of you to donate such a precious artifact.) He told her.
There it was straight out in the open, her wealth. "Nai, to diamante Artemis itan stin oikogeneia mou yia aiones." (Yes, the Artemis diamond has been in my family for centuries.)
He nodded. "Ego akoma am poy sygcheetai polytimo litho os pros giati den poleite to. Tha proskomize mia thayasia timi stin agora." (I still am confused as to why you do not sell the gem. It would fetch a wonderful price at the market.)
Rogue noticed that Damia was trying her best not to tell the man off. She noted the Celeus noticed this and changed the subject.
"Alla opos yia to symvallomeno meros tha eicha tin timi." (But as for the party would I have the honor of-?) He was cut off by Damia.
"Ochi, dystychos eseis den mporei. O filos moy prierchetai mesa apo tin Aystralia kai eimai arketa vevaios oti tha ithele ekeino to pronomio."(No, unfortunately you may not. My boyfriend is coming in from Australia and I am quite sure he would want that privilege.) Damia stated matter off factly.
Celeus expression turned confused for a brief moment, and then went back to his calm composure. "Anto poy einai to onoma toy?" (What's his name?)
"St. John Allerdyce, ton synantisa kata ti diarkeia toi chronoi moy sta krati." (St. John Allerdyce, I met him during my time in the states.) She replied; a smile crossing her features as she said his name.
Rogue could tell that Mr. Ares didn't like how the conversation was going.
"Ti o pateras sas tha eprepe na pei ean ixere yia ayto to atomo: tha sigkatatithotan oi fantasies sas me kapoio ochi tis fylis sas."(What would your father have to say if he knew about this man? Would he consent your fantasies with someone not of your race?) Celeus asked her with a hint of anger in his tone.
^^Wrong thing ta say busta.^^ Rogue thought. She knew that Damia didn't like being questioned, and she didn't like others saying things about her deceased family. Rogue could see the fire burning in her friends golden eyes. She decided that she should come to Damia's rescue. It wouldn't be a good idea to loss her head at the man now. Rogue swiftly came out of her hiding place, walking over to the two. "Hey sugar, its getting late and ya promised meh a dance." Rogue winked at Damia, who smiled thankfully toward her friend.
"Excuse me Celeus." Damia said as she took Rogue's arm in hers and the two exited the balcony. When they were out of hearing range from Mr. Ares Damia let out a deep breath. "Eucharisteo (Thank you) Rogue, I don't know what would have happened if you had not have arrived when you did."
Rogue gave a sly smile. "Ah'm pretty sure he wouldn't be able ta reproduce when yer were done with 'im."
Damia let out a giggle and hugged her friend's arm. "What would I ever do without you?"
"Ah don't know. Most likely go ta prison for castratin men that piss ya off." Rogue winked.
The two girls laughed at the statement. For the remainder of the night the stayed together; not letting the other out of their sight.
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
Rogue smiled as she watched her friend twitch anxiously for the plane to arrive. John was expected to get off the plane any minute now. Rogue thought it was so cute the way Damia had made sure everything looked perfect before his arrival. The only thing that had gotten on Rogue's nerves was how many times Damia asked if she looked okay. But Rogue knew she would be almost as giddy as her friend if Remy was coming; almost.
Finally the plane landed and Damia jumped out of her seat waiting to see her boyfriend enter the gate. Her eyes scanned each passenger as they entered and finally she saw the light hair of a young man she knew all to well. He found her as quickly as she had found him. Both started at a run and Damia literally flew into John's arms.
Rogue, Helen and Priam walked over to the two love birds and Rogue prayed that Damia wouldn't kiss the boy till he had brushed his teeth. She remembered how many times he had puked on their flight to and from Hawaii. Rogue smiled at John, who reciprocated the gesture. He held out his hand instinctively to the woman in front of him.
"I'm St. John Allerdyce; it's a pleasure to meet youse." He said politely and took both of the Grecians' hands, shaking Priam's and kissing Helen's.
Damia couldn't stop smiling. She was so happy she could just bust. She watched as Helen blushed when John took her hand and gave it a kiss.
"So how many times did ya puke on yer flight here Johnny Boy?" Rogue smirked.
John glared at her and replied. "You don't wanna know Roguey."
The two girls' laughed at the young man's reply as they walked toward the baggage claim to retrieve Mr. Allerdyce's bags.
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
"Hey loverboy!" Rogue called out to John who had been surfing the waves since the sun came out.
John heard his name being called and made his way out of the water. He smiled at Rogue "G'day."
"Mornin, time ta eat." She told him.
John nodded, grabbed his towel and followed Rogue into the Enaes Manor. As they walked through the hallway they heard a female voice and a male voice talking vigorously. The two teens immediately identified the female voice as Damia and head to the source of the sound. Rogue rolled her eyes as she saw who it was; Celeus.
"Mornin sugar." Rogue put on her best smile to the young man.
Both John and Rogue noticed that Damia looked very cross, as well did Celeus. Immediately John didn't like the guy. He walked over to his girlfriend who gave him a small smile and wrapped an arm around her waist. Rogue as well walked over to stand by her friend's side. Rogue's attitude toward Celeus had changed drastically when she had heard his comment about Damia's family.
"It is nice to see you again Rogue." Celeus said politely, even though she could tell he was upset. The dark hair man turned his attention to the man who stood protectively at Damia's side. He didn't need to ask who the man was; he knew it was that Australian fellow Damia had met in America. But Celeus did feel the need to introduce himself. Celeus put out his hand to John as a polite guest "I am Celeus Ares."
John shook the man's hand but as he shook it his grip tightened severely as well did the other mans. When the hand shake end both of their hands hurt form the display of strength. "St. John Allerdyce." John replied and then his expression turned from politely rude to threatening. "Now what were youse arguing bout love?" He asked Damia, though his eyes never left Celeus.
Damia gave a false smile to Celeus "Nothing of importance." She stated. She then walked over to the door and opened it. "Well it was good to see you again Celeus."
Celeus took the hint and exited the house. Rogue rolled her eyes after the man was out of view. "What did he want? A replay of the other night?"
Damia sighed. "Well, the unfortunate thing is that we will see him again at the ceremony at the museum." A small smile crossed her face as she said the next sentence. "Fortunately he won't be getting what he wants."
"And what's the bloke want?" John asked.
"Two things and they all come in one package." Damia stated. "Me."
John smirked. "I must admit I would feel the same in his position. But I'm not." He smiled at Damia who smiled back.
Rogue thought about what her friend had said "What are the two things?"
"My wealth, which includes the desired Artemis diamond, and me as a wife." Damia told them matter of factly. "But I am most certain he wants the former more than the latter." She said as they waked to the dinning room for a delicious Grecian breakfast.
-----Please review. There ya go Wiccamage; Rogue is in a white dress. ^_~ I think she would look really pretty in the dress I explained maybe I'll draw a pic so it can be better understood. Also I really don't care what's going on with the mutants at the institute because they aren't important at the moment. But I think if you must know I gave them a summer break. I mean everyone needs one. Oh and yeah I can't believe Rogue did that to Mystique! Poor Nightie! Anyway hope you liked the chapter. Please review. ~Alana-----
