Gambit waited at the front door. He leaned comfortably against the wall. He'd been on many dates with many different women but he felt more excited about this one than any other, for some reason. Remy couldn't wait to see Ororo again.
He glanced at the stairs and felt his breath catch in his throat.
" Mon Dieu..." He muttered quietly.
Storm was wearing a stunning, sleeveless blue dress that hugged every curve in her body. Her long white hair was down and fell gracefully about her shoulders. Remy couldn't take his eyes off her.
Ororo smiled as she reached the bottom of the stairs.
" 'Ro, ya' look..." He trailed off, not able to put into words how beautiful he thought she was.
" You look very handsome yourself, Remy."
Gambit smiled and their eyes met. He wrapped his arms around her, drawing her to him. Her arms slid around his neck and their lips met in a tender kiss. They drew apart and smiled.
" Time t' go, mon chere."
Storm smiled and accepted his offered arm. It was going to be a wonderful night.
Remy and Ororo laughed as they walked up to the loft. It was late but the evening had been filled with laughter and dancing. Gambit leaned against the doorframe and Storm walked into her room.
" Thank you, Remy, tonight was truly amazing."
" It wasn' me dat made it dis way, chere, it was you."
Ororo smiled and walked up to him. Their hands linked and they kissed. She pulled back and regarded him.
" Would you like to come in?" It was barely a whisper.
Their eyes locked as she gently pulled him in. They reached the bed and she sat down, pulling him with her. Tenderly, they kissed, his hand traveling up her back to her long hair. They laid down, their kisses tender yet full of passion at the same time.
Remy pulled back for a moment, his brown hair falling into his flaming eyes as he asked,
" You sure, 'Ro?"
" Yes, Remy."
He smiled and they kissed once more.
