Chapter Five.
Kitty slowly walked up to the mansion. Her heart was beating out of her chest as she tried to think up a really good excuse. * Hey Scott I'm sorry I'm late but I was with like Pietro... oh and by the way Pietro and I are like dating - well sort of. *

She slowly opened the mansion doors and peeped inside. It was quiet, a little too quiet. She felt uneasy. Just as she was about to phase through the floor, she heard someone call out to her.

"Where have you been Kitty?" Scott wore a military expression.

"Well... what had happened was... you see it was like this... well I was like..."

"Kitty would you just spit out! Where were you?"

"I was like with... Pietro. But it's not like that at all..."

"You were with Maximoff! Kitty what's gotten into you! First you tell Kurt you can't meet me after school and then you stroll in here around 7:00!"

"Scott would you like just let me explain! Pietro and I have an assignment for class together, I actually need to like work on it, I mean I don't want to like get an F just because he's a like stupid Brotherhood member!

"I just want you to be careful that's all. You don't know what those guys could be up too! I don't think it's such a good idea to spend all that time with Pietro."

"Scott would you like just chill, it's just a stupid assignment. It'd be like over before you know it!"

"Just be careful Kitty, that's all I'm saying."

"You know what I like love about you Scott, you play the role of an overprotective big brother so well it almost makes me wish I like had one."

"Thanks Kitty... I think."

* Crisis averted. *
The next day at school was dull... as always. Kitty sat in Biology class daydreaming about Pietro and yesterday at the park. It was so sweet and romantic, she found herself wanting to be with him more and more. Kitty's thoughts were suddenly interrupted by a noisy bunch of students and she looked around to see a soccer ball heading straight towards her. The impact was sudden.

"Ouch my eye... like watch it with that thing!"
Kitty hated not having a Biology teacher- two weeks running. You think the school would like jump at the chance to bring a new teacher in here. Her head began to throb. She began to see stars in front her eyes. * I better like go put some water on this, to like try and keep the swelling down. *
"Maximoff where are you!" Coach Nelson called out angrily.

Pietro snickered to himself from inside the janitor's closet. * Boy he was such a dope! *

"Maximoff you little worm! When I get my hands on you, I'll make you wish you were never born!"

He peered out the door to see if Coach Nelson was coming his way but instead he saw something else that caught his attention. He grabbed her hand and pulled her in.

"Hey there Kitten, you miss me?"

"Pietro? What are you doing in here, I like thought you had gym this period!"

"I do but I missed you, so I was coming to your Bio class to see you!"

Just then Kitty heard Nelson yelling - "Maximoff! Where the hell are you?"...

"You missed me huh? You're cutting gym aren't you?"

"Yeah I'm cutting gym plus I missed you. I was coming to see you honest!" Pietro gave her a cute boy scout pout.

"How did you know I would like be free this period?"

"You haven't got a Bio teacher, you're always free this period."

"So you've memorised my schedule?"

Pietro held her hands tightly and leaned in close to her. He slowly whispered in her ear, sending shivers down her spine.

"I want to know... where you are... every minute... of every... single day!"

Kitty looked into his eyes, her voice caught in her throat. She stumbled out... barely,

"Do you really?"

"Of course Kitten! Why don't you believe me?"

"It's just that..." Kitty turned away.

"Kitty what's wrong?"

"Pietro do you really love me or am I just another girl for you to like just date one week and dump the next?" Kitty said all in one breath.

"What? No - no... Kitty you've got it all wrong! I love you and there's nothing unreal about it. You're special to me Kitten and I'll always feel this way about you."

He slowly walked up her placing his arms around her waist. She turned around to face him. The moment was perfect - the atmosphere was silent, the mood was just right. She placed her lips up to his in a long slow kiss.
Kitty and Pietro stood there totally oblivious to everything going on around them. Sinking deeper and deeper into each other, Kitty forcibly snapped herself back to reality and slowly pulled away from Pietro.

"Pietro the bell rang for the next class like about five minutes ago, I've got to get out of here!" Kitty cracked open the door and peered out to see if anyone was there. Pietro gently pushed the door in.

"Come on Kitten, just five more minutes alone - please!" He started giving her short kisses.

"Pietro please, don't do that! I'll like never want to leave."

"Well good then!" Still kissing her. "You and I could skip the rest of the day, go to the park and make out!" Pietro gazed at her intently, smirking somewhat seductively.

"Pietro Maximoff! I could like never do that! The Professor would like freak- not to mention Scott! Can I like go now - please?" She gave sad puppy dog eyes.

"Kitty don't look at me like that. Kitty... oh alright we'll go. But you have to promise to meet me in the park this afternoon."

"I like don't know Pietro. Well you see for missing Danger Room practice yesterday, I have to make up for it like double-time today. I have to like meet Scott right after school. I'm sorry but I'll make it up to you... I promise."

"Kitty we have to work on our assignment remember! Can't you meet me after?" He gave a pout.

"I'll try." She gave him a quick peck and dashed off to Bio to get her backpack.
* Pietro what are you doing? This is crazy! You can't be falling for Kitty Pryde - she's a total ditz, not to mention an X-geek. * He slipped out of the janitor's closet.

"Hey Pietro my man! How goes the plan yo!"
