Scott watched her, face totally on fire now, as she leaned down to his face, and pressed her lips onto his. Startled, Scott froze beneath her, and just as he recollected his thoughts and was going to kiss her back, she jerked away, with a horrified expression on her face.
*OMG!! WHAT IN THE WORLD AM I DOING?? * Jean's head screamed.
*THIS KISS IS PERFECT! DON'T YOU DARE BREAK IT! * the voice inside her screamed back. In the end, her head won out, and she jerked away from Scott.
she sent to him. Then she got up on her feet and ran back to her room in the mansion. She needed to think now, desperately.
Scott sat numbly in the grass, watching as Jean ran into the mansion. He sighed and put his head in his hands. He couldn't figure out why Jean kissed, then ran into the mansion. He wished he could know how she really felt towards him, whether it was as a friend or as more than a friend.
The corner where our 4 matchmakers are hiding.
All four of them stood there, mouths hanging wide open. Rogue was the first to speak.
"Did Ah just see those two kiss?" she said, rubbing her eyes.
The set Kitty off. "Like, YES! DID YOU SEE THAT?! OUR PLAN ACTUALLY WORKED! CA-"
But Rogue cut her short. "Ya'll call that worked?! Didn't ya see Jean run off after that?!" Kitty looked like she had just been dumped by Lance. Suddenly, a determined look came onto her face.
"Oh shit...I'm not liking that look on her face." Evan said cautiously, backing away a few steps.
Kitty grabbed Evan before Scott could see him. "Then we'll just have to, like, work harder! C'mon peoples! We're going to get them together if it's the last thing I do!" And with that, she phased/marched them to Kurt's room to make new plans.
In Jean's room.
*OMG, I still can't believe I just did that. * Jean was curled up in bed, head in her hands. *What will Scott think of that? What if he comes here? I can't bear to face him now. * Then a new thought popped into her head. *What if Duncan finds out about this!? * Jean buried herself even deeper in her covers, feeling like her life was completely ruined. She had to talk to someone about this.
In the greenhouse.
Ororo tended happily to her plants, humming absently as she watered them. She heard the door to the greenhouse open, and turned to see Jean standing there.
"Why hello there, Jean," she greeted.
"Hey Ororo," she said softly, studying the ground. Ororo waited, knowing that Jean would talk when she wanted to, having being able to tell that Jean had come to her for advice. After a few moments, Jean spoke up, like Ororo knew she would.
"I don't know what to do." She stated. "I have all these mixed up feelings in my head about Scott and Duncan. I think I have a crush on Scott, but then it makes me feel guilty about Duncan. I mean, he's my boyfriend isn't he?"
Ororo hid a smile. She should have known this would have involved Scott. She had been able to tell that Jean had some feelings for him. "Yes, Duncan's your boyfriend. But don't forget, Jean, that you need to follow your heart. You can break up with Duncan anytime you want, no one can stop you. But you need to make sure that these feelings for Scott are true."
"Why am I feeling so guilty about breaking up with Duncan for Scott?" Jean raised her eyes to lock them with Ororo's, her fingers busy fiddling with the hem of her shirt.
"I believe it is because of the thoughts you've had about Scott lately, even though Duncan's your boyfriend." The older woman answered. "My final suggestion to you is to just follow your heart. Trust it, your heart knows best."
"I have one more question."
"Yes?"
"Do you know if Scott still likes me in that way?" Jean said shyly.
This time Ororo did smile. "That, my dear, you'll have to ask him yourself."
"Ororo!" Jean pouted. But all she did was turn around and start watering her plants again.
Seeing that Ororo wouldn't answer, Jean said, "Oh well. Thanks, Ororo,"
"Anytime, Jean."
