The Date

~*~

Baby, I don't want to fall in love with you

I try, try, try but I can only tell the truth

Please don't make me beg, give this heart a break

I don't want to make the same mistake

But it's too late

I'll leave on the light

These arms are open all night

Kitty looked into the mirror twirling around twice. "You sure I look okay?" she asked.

Jubilee smiled. "You look hot."

"Ya look fine, sugah," Rogue said. Kitty regarded her reflection thoughtfully. The dress accentuated her curves; it was cut low showing her cleavage but remained tasteful.

"You're sure?" she asked still unsure.

"Kit, get out of here!" Jubilee ordered. Kitty laughed turning and walking out. She walked down the stairs. Pete turned hearing her heels as she walked down the stairs. His breath caught in his throat. Kitty smiled as she took in is suit. Unlike what he usually wore this was very nice. She walked over to him and waited for him to speak.

"Wow," he murmured finally. "You look gorgeous, luv. Completely beautiful." She smiled and blushed looking at the floor. He smirked cupping her chin and raising her head for a soft kiss. "Ready?"

"Yeah." He took her hand leading her out to his car. He drove them to a very nice Italian Restaurant.

"One bad thing about this place," he sighed.

"What's that?" she inquired.

"No good booze," he sighed and ordered a bottle of wine. "But the company makes it well worth it." She blushed again as he took her hand. They ate talking companionably. Kitty quickly noticed that he couldn't take his eyes, or hands off of her. After dinner they were on their way home.

"Wisdom," Kitty said spotting his type of place a head. "Why don't we stop for a drink?"

He looked at her and grinned. "You are the most perfect woman." He pulled into the parking lot. He took off his jacket throwing it into the backseat and loosened his tie. Pete then got out and opened her door for her. The two walked in. Kitty heard men calling out to her and paused nervously. Pete wrapped a possessive arm around her and led her to a table in the back after ordering a bottle of scotch. The waiter brought it to their table with two shot glasses. Pete filled both of them handing one to Kitty raising an eyebrow.

"You know this is illegal?" she asked looking at the liquid raising an eyebrow of her own.

"Yes," he grinned. "Yer point?" She took a sip making a face at the taste. "`At's not how ya drink scotch, luv." He took his and threw it back drinking the shot in one swallow. "`At's how."

She shook her head taking another sip. "How do you drink this stuff?" she asked scrunching up her nose.

"You are completely adorable," he grinned.

She blushed finishing the shot. "Adorable?"

"Yes." He poured himself another shot. "More?"

"No thanks." He drank two more before standing still looking sober.

"Will you be okay to drive?" she asked.

"I know me limits," he said. "Three has no effect at all and four jest a small one. I'm fine." They walked outside and he lit a cigarette having deprived himself all night. He sighed happily. "Ya know, luv, this is heav'n."

"Huh?"

"Standin' `ere under the stars with the most beautiful woman in the world just `avin' a fag," he purred slipping an arm around her waist.

"That's actually really sweet," she told him standing on her tiptoes to kiss him on the cheek inwardly rejoicing that he looked at her as a woman. He inhaled from the cigarette deeply, breathing out the smoke. He threw it onto the ground and ground it out opening the door for her. She got in and he shut the door. He got in on the other side and they started the drive home.

"We're bein' followed again," he announced.

"Same people?"

"Same car," he scoffed. "Amateurs. Hold on." He took a sharp turn and the chase was on. He made five more turns before finally losing them.

She smiled at him. "You're good."

"Damn straight, Pryde." He pulled into the Institute and got out opening the door for her. She leaned against the car door after he shut it, not ready for the night to be over. He stepped so close she could feel the heat from his body scorching her. He tilted her head up his blue eyes gazing deeply into her brown ones.

"I had a great time tonight, Pete," she whispered.

He smiled. "Me too, Kitty." He leaned down and their lips met chastely. He started to step away when she grabbed his tie. He turned back with a smirk as she tugged him by his tie back to her. He let her take the initiative this time as they kissed. She gently bit his lower lips causing a small groan from him as he opened his mouth to her, letting her explore him. He pulled away so they could both catch their breath. "C'mon, I'll walk you t' yer room."

Kitty looked into his eyes. "I don't want to go to *my* room."

He looked down at her seriously. "Kit, think about this. If you want this, fine, but I don't want t' be a replacement."

Her eyes widened. "Jubilee told you."

"Luv, it doesn't take a genius t' see how you look at him . . . God, what I'd give to see that look when you look at me."

"Pete, what I feel for Scott. it's been there since I can remember. But you make me feel so much more . . ." She met his eyes evenly. "I have a crush on Scott. I think I'm falling in love with you." He searched her eyes hard until he finally smiled and kissed her.

"Want t' go upstairs?" Smiling shyly, she nodded. He took her hand leading her to his room. "We should have gotten a hotel room," he murmured against her lips.

"Why?" she asked afraid he was ashamed of her.

"Because, luv, yer friends are next door, they're gonna hear." Kitty blushed warmly at that.

"Oh."

"Music?" he asked. She nodded to cover her nervousness. He put in a CD and programmed it. He sat down patting the spot next to him.

~*~

"I never went to college

I don't have a degree

Let's say I went to night school

I learned all I know on the streets

I wasn't born a rich man

I ain't got no pedigree

The sweat on this old collar

That's my Ph.D."

~*~

"You trust me?" he asked seriously.

"Yes," she said not hesitating. He smiled as she went to him straddling his legs. He slid a hand playfully over her leg as the material rode up. He kissed her slowly as he ran his hand over her back searching for the zipper to her dress. Finding it, he slowly slid it down trailing his fingers down the exposed skin causing her to shiver. He slid the dress down as far as it would go since she was still sitting on his lap. He quickly saw that she hadn't bothered with a bra and smiled. He caught her lips again luring her into a deep passionate kiss.

~*~

"It comes down to this

I wouldn't exist

Without you it ain't worth the grind

I'd fight for one kiss

On a night like this

You make me feel I could fly"

~*~

"Gotta ask again, are you sure?"

She smiled nuzzling his cheek. "I'm sure, Pete. I want you. I've wanted you since I knocked you off the porch."

"What were you doing that night, anyhow?"

She looked down. "Well, Bobby was chasing me."

"Why?"

"He iced up the girl's bathroom, the whole thing, so I left him a gift. Bobby doesn't like spiders."

"You put a spider in his room?"

Kitty grinned. "No, ten, ten big spiders." He laughed kissing her again.

"`At's my girl."

~*~

"I got to confess

Sometimes I'm a mess

And sometimes I step out of line

Like this old tattoo

I ain't shiny or new

With you by my side nothing matters"

~*~

He lifted her off of his lap, which allowed her dress to fall into a puddle at her feet. He allowed his eyes to rake over her exposed form. All she had on now was a sparkly pink thong. "You are so bloody beautiful," he told her. She looked down flushing. She knelt down to remove her heels. He watched her every motion intently before she stood and walked back to him simply phasing his shirt off of him.

"Why didn't you do that with your dress?" he inquired in a slightly unsteady voice as she ran her hand curiously over his chest.

"That's no fun," she grinned. She undid the button on his slacks. He laid back so she could work easier. She carefully slid down the fly. He lifted his hips allowing her to drag them off. She then phased off his shoes and socks before sliding his pants completely off. He heard her giggle softly as she climbed up over him.

"What?"

"Rubber duckies?" she asked.

"`Ey, don' insult me pants, Pryde," he growled rolling her onto her back. She bit her lip against more giggles but soon lost it laughing hard. He looked down at her and had to smile at her. "You done?"

She nodded still chuckling softly. He leaned down kissing her and she lost her laughter completely. He slid his hands expertly over her exposed chest causing her to tremble. "Pete," she whispered pulling away to look into his eyes. He smiled gently kissing her on the forehead.

He slid his hands down her sides causing her to giggle. "Ticklish?" he asked smiling. She shook her head. He smirked sliding his thumbs under the straps of the thong and dragging it down her body.

~*~

"I can save the world

Since the night your love saved me

Maybe I can't save the world

But as long as you believe

Maybe I can save the world"

~*~

He slid his hands up her legs as he moved back over her. He looked at her, lying completely naked before him. He didn't think he had ever wanted anyone this much. He leaned down trailing kisses down her neck softly nipping and suckling the skin where her pulse beat. She moaned, now understanding why people thought vampirism was sexy.

He moved down kissing his way to her breasts. Pete teased her mercilessly before moving down to the juncture of her thighs. He kissed her there making sure she was fully aroused before moving back up. He positioned himself and looking into her brown eyes. "Luv, one last time, are you sure?"

"I want you to make love to me," she whispered. He lost his self-control at that soft phrase and dove into her quickly. She cried out when he was finally inside of her all the way.

~*~

"They can say it's blind love

But it's a fool who don't believe

That I'd fly all the way to the moon

Just to walk you down your street"

~*~

"Sorry," he murmured kissing her lips and licking her tears away. "Do you want t' stop?"

"No," she said catching her breath. "Keep going. I'm okay." He kissed her gently as he began to move. He positioned himself so each thrust brushed her clit. Kitty moaned wrapping her legs around him, urging him deeper. He moved faster when he heard her soft moan. The two reached their release simultaneously. He collapsed on top of her.

"Damn," he muttered.

"Wow," she whispered. He moved off of her and stretched out next to her pulling her onto his chest.

"You want to stay the night."

"Unless you want me to go."

He chuckled. "Never, luv." She relaxed in his arms nuzzling his chest as she made herself comfortable. There was a ring. Muttering Pete got up and fished his cell out of his pocket. "Damn it." He threw on his slacks. "I'll be right back, Kit." He soon came back and laid down with her seeming tense.

"What is it?" she asked curling up in his arms.

"Nothing, Kitty. Don't worry about it." He stroked her hair softly and soon she drifted off to sleep. He stayed up looking at the girl next to him and worrying about what he had to do.

~*~

"I can save the world

Since the night your love saved me

Maybe I can't save the world

But as long as you believe

Our love is even stronger

Than god hoped it could be

Baby, all it takes is

Just a little faith in me

To feel like

I can save the world

I can save the world"
