Kitty Pryde2- Sorry, this wasn't anywhere near soon.

Where's Home
~*~
I wish I could just make you turn around
Turn around and see me cry
There's so much I need to say to you
So many reasons why
You're the only one who really knew me at all
So take a look at me now
And there's just an empty space
And there's nothin' left here to remind me
Just the memory of your face

Kitty yawned stretching in her spot on the couch next to Remy. Rogue was on a mission with John so he was left home with her and Pietro. "This movie sucks," Pietro said. The others reluctantly agreed. "Who's is this anyhow?"
"Emma's," Remy said. He ejected After Midnight and put in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
Kitty made a face when she saw what it was. "Who's choice was this?" Pietro grinned raising his hand. "Figures." She moved slightly closer to Remy when the first person was killed. Soon she was hiding her head in his shoulder. This caused laughter from the two guys. "Just for this I'm picking the next movie." The phone rang. Kitty stood and answered it. "Hello?"
"Hey, luv," Pete said.
Kitty smiled brightly. "Pete, hey." She walked into the next room and sat down.
"I just wanted t' let you know that we're headin' back t'morrow evening."
"Oh," Kitty said softly.
"You want t' come home with us?"
"Pete, I-" Kitty paused. "I, like, don't know."
"`At's fine, luv. Can I see you t'night?"
"Sure."
"I'll be over in a few minutes." He hung up. Kitty ran upstairs and changed into a pale blue sundress and quickly brushed her hair. She reapplied her lip-gloss and walked down the stairs surprised to see that Pete was already there. He stood with Remy and Pietro. The three men looked up and Pietro whistled looking her over.
"Lookin' good, kitty-cat," he smiled.
"Remy agrees," the Cajun said giving her an obvious once over. She blushed turning to Pete who shot the two men ogling her a glare before turning to Kitty.
"Ready t' go?" he asked.
Kitty smiled. "Yeah. Bye, guys." Taking Pete's hand Kitty left.
He leaned down his lips catching hers quickly. She looked into his eyes and her eyes widened. She reached up softly touching his face where he was beginning to get a black eye. "What happened?"
"John underestimated them," Pete said. "Very unusual. One of them was huge. He hit me while we were gettin' out." He smiled a little seeing how worried she looked. "I'm fine, Kit." They got into his car. "Where do you want t' go?"
Kitty smiled. "I didn't think that far," she admitted. "Just drive." He nodded and pulled out. They drove all over town not talking. Ironically, they ended up at Lookout Point.
"I'd call this fate," Pete smiled.
"I'd call it coincidence," Kitty teased back causing an even bigger smile to spread across his face.
"`At hurts," he purred. He leaned down and kissed her. "I can't believe I didn't mention this before but you look beautiful, luv," he told her.
Kitty blushed. "Thanks." They kissed again this one much more intense. "Pete?" Kitty asked softly.
"Yeah?"
"Will you... um...?"
"What is it?"
"I want you to make love to me. I don't know what I'm going to do after tonight but I do know that I want you."
"`At feelin's mutual, but are you sure?"
"Positive."
"Okay, let's get out o' here then."
"Huh? Why?"
"Let's do it right, luv. In a nice comfortable bed where we have all night."
Kitty smiled a little. "All night?"
"O' course! I plan on takin' me time." He kissed her before pulling back out. He pulled up in front of John's house. "I can still just take ya home, luv. I won't be upset. Are you sure this is what you want?"
"Yes," Kitty said leaning towards him and kissing him.
"`Kay, luv." He got out opening her door for her. "Follow me, then, luv."
The next morning
Pete awoke and smiled looking down at the girl cuddled up next to him. Suddenly the door opened and John walked in. "Oh great, now I'm gonna be blinded for life," he said. Pete pulled the sheet over his and Kitty's torsos.
"What do ya want?" he demanded interrupting the way John was staring at Kitty and glaring hard at his friend.
"Right. We're leavin' in a couple hours."
"I know," Pete said with a sigh as he looked at the girl asleep in his arms. John nodded briefly and left. Pete gently shook Kitty's shoulder causing her to open her eyes and smile up at him.
"Morning," she whispered.
"Hey, luv," he murmured back. "`Ow do ya feel?"
"A little sore," she admitted. "But very good."
Pete grinned at that before a more serious expression stole over his face. "Ya know I'm leavin' t'day."
"Yeah," Kitty whispered.
"Think about me offer?"
"I promise." He stood getting dressed and pulling her to her feet. The two got dressed.
"I'll drive you home," he said as they left the room. Kitty went over to John hugging the surprised man.
"Bye," she called over her shoulder as Pete steered her towards the door. They drove in silence before they reached the mansion. "Call me?" Kitty asked as they stepped onto the porch.
"O' course," he smiled kissing her softly.
"I'm going to miss you."
"I know," he said his smile faded. "I'm gonna miss you too, luv. But it ain't like this is gonna be the last time we'll see each other. Right?"
"Yeah." They stood staring at each other for a few moments before Pete moved pulling Kitty into his arms and holding her tightly to him. She sighed leaning into his embrace. They stood like that for a long time, simply holding each other. Then Pete stepped back very slightly gently cupping her chin and kissing her slowly.
"I'll see you," he whispered as the two gazed into each other's eyes.
"Bye, Pete," Kitty whispered around the lump in her throat. He smiled sadly and kissed her one more time before stepping away and walking back to his car. Kitty watched as he drove away.
