Oh my goodness I am so sorry this took so long to get out. I wanted it to be….perfect or as close as I could get it… which isn't even close. Last week was one hell of a week so I tried to write every spare minute I got which wasn't often so it took forever. Umm…. so here goes my first shot at dialogue. I hope everyone enjoys and if not oh well at least I tried.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Constantly ignoring,
The pain consuming me,
But this time it's cut too deep,
I'll never stray again.
Rogue was having a strange dream and it probably had something to do with the fact that Remy was in it.
~* She had been feeling so cold and alone then Remy came out of the darkness. He pulled her into his arms and pleasant warmth encompassed her, it made her feel safe and loved. Even in her dreams he smelt of spice and he still had that gleam of mischief in his eyes. He was hugging her looking down into her eyes and just as he moved to kiss her she felt herself being pulled away from him. She could hear a voice calling to her, someone shaking her gently. *~
Slowly she opened her eyes and looked around but saw only dark it took her a minute to remember that she was still under the maple tree. She sat up wondering what it was that had woken her. She moved to brush the hair out of her eyes and realized that she was covered with something warm, something that smelled very familiar. She moved to get up when she realized why her "blanket" smelled so familiar. No, no it can't be I must still be dreaming… yeah that's—
"Chere y' still cold?" Remy asked. Her heart froze OhmyGod! What is HE doing here?!! "Chere?"
"Yes" she automatically answered her mind not fully registering what he said. "Ok Chere sit still Remy'll make a fire."
With that he moved away and after a minute there was a faint glow coming from the small fire he had made. He had his back to her and she watched as he slowly added smaller pieces of wood to get the fire to grow.
"Remy what are you doing here?" she asked, the question springing from her mouth before she could stop it.
Slowly he turned to look at her, he regarded her for a moment and then turned back to the fire before replying "Remy is here because de Chere and him gonn have a talk." Great, just great a talk!
"And just what would we have to talk about Cajun?" Again he turned to look at her, his eyes burning her.
"Everthin', Chere, everythin'" he said. "But first why don' y' come sit near de fire, warm up."
"I think I'd rather get back to the mansion, its getting late and…" she stopped talking because he was shaking his head. "No Chere, soon y' can go but first we gonn' talk. Now come n' sit by de fire before Remy has t' go n' get y'."
Quickly she stood and walked toward the fire and Remy chuckled. Stubborn fille what is Remy gonn' do with y'?
He could tell she was nervous. She could feel his eyes following her as she made her way closer to the fire. Lord I know I said I wouldn't run anymore but that was on my terms. What am I gonna do?? Ok Rogue deep breath calm down. This was the closest she had been to him in two weeks. She looked back over to where Remy sat. He was still looking at her but he seemed lost in thought.
She dropped her gaze and turned to stare into the fire. I missed hearing his voice and the smell of his cologne and I missed those eyes.
"Chere," he stood up and walked around the fire to sit by her "why y' avoiding Remy?" Startled she turned from the fire to look at him "I'm not avoiding you" she said. "Rogue don' lie t' Remy" he said looking at her intently. Chere what's goin on in dat mind of yours.
Taking a deep breath she finally replied "I have had a lot of stuff on my mind I just needed some time to myself away from everyone." It was at least a small part of the truth.
"Y' wan' tell Remy 'bout it Chere?" he asked softly. She slowly shook her head and looked down at the ground. "Chere y' can tell Remy anything y' know dat?" she looked up at him and shook her head. "No not this time Remy at least not yet" her heart hurt. She could see the concern written across his face.
"Rogue, Remy be worried 'bout y' that's all" he said. "Remy's missed y' chere, y' sure y' ain't mad at him?"
"I'm not mad at you Remy, I'm sorry I didn't mean for it to seem that way and I missed you too" she said smiling at him. Oh dis fille and dat smile gonn' be de end of Remy.
"De chere missed Remy" he said with a smirk on his face. "How much did y' miss dis Cajun, Rogue?" Rogue could feel her face heating up but she was determined not to look away from him. "Oh, just a little" she said and then winked at him slyly.
"Well chere, Remy don' believe y', Remy thinks y' missed him a whole lot" he said. He chuckled at the look on her face.
"Well Mr. LeBeau the Rogue thinks you think way too much for your own good" she replied.
"So…" he said slowly "Den Remy be thinkin' bout y' way too much Rogue." She laughed. "Uh huh and just why would you be thinking about me so much?"
"Its de only way Remy can have y' 'round all de time Chere."
My only hope,
(All the times I've tried)
My only peace,
(To walk away from you)
My only joy,
My only strength,
(I fall into your abounding grace)
My only power,
My only life,
(And love is where I am)
My only love,
"Chere y' been on Remy's mind since the first time he saw y'" he said. "Oh you mean that time you tried to blow my hand off?" she remarked dryly.
"Rogue y' know it wasn't like dat" he said soberly. " Remy wouldn't ever hurt y' intentionally Chere."
"Yeah I know" she said. He placed an arm around her shoulders and felt her tense up then slowly relax and lean into him. Mmm a gal could get used to this. She could feel his strength and his warmth through the jacket that was still wrapped around her.
He tilted her face up so he could see her eyes. She had the most beautiful eyes, so big and expressive. He fought the urge to kiss her. "Chere do y' know how beautiful y' are?" he whispered.
She stiffened and pulled away from him abruptly. "I'm not" she bit out her heart racing. He reached over and pulled her back against him. "Yes y' are Rogue t' Remy y' are" he said.
She looked up at him and he could see fear and pain in her eyes it made his heart break. "Chere what are y' afraid of?" He held her tighter to him. "Are y' afraid of Remy?" He held his breath waiting for her to answer.
"No" she said in a small voice. He slowly exhaled, relief surged through him. "Then what's wrong Chere?" She stayed quiet. She was struggling to get her thoughts in order but having Remy this close to her made it next to impossible. She couldn't even manage to breathe evenly. It felt like someone was twisting her stomach.
"It's nothing to be concerned about Remy I'll be fine." She managed to get out in an even calm voice.
"Chere, Remy is always concerned 'bout y' so don't tell him not be" he said. "Don't y' know dat Remy cares 'bout y' Chere?" She made no move to respond so he decided to try another approach.
"Dis feels good Remy likes holding you like dis, it feels right." He could see emotions flickering across her face, it fascinated him. Before she decided which emotion to settle on he continued "Chere y' always in Remy's head and," he took a deep breath "and in his heart."
"Rem-" she started but he placed a finger over her lips. "Lemme finish Chere. Tonight m' gonn tell y' everything." It was his turn to feel nervous.
"I just want t' be near y' Chere. I like hearing your voice and seeing y' eyes and even de way y' fight wit' me and dat smile of yours Chere its gonn' be de end of me." Rogue could feel her eyes starting to get misty.
"When I saw y' de first time I knew that y' were different. Y' have haunted me since den, y' always with me." He placed his hand over his heart.
"Des past two weeks were hell for me. Chere I need y'. I need y' with me and it hurts when y' aren't. Y' everythin' to me Chere. I love y'"
Rogue was in shock.
