Chapter Seven.
Kitty crept up the mansion steps. It was really late, she was aware of that but she couldn't bare the thought of leaving Pietro. They had some things to work through, things that she thought would never have mattered to her but now they were the most important.
* Shoot! All this time and we haven't worked on a single scenario for our assignment and there's only three weeks left. Aw, this can't be good! *
Kitty phased through her bedroom door to avoid any unnecessary noise. She crept across the room making her way to the bathroom but immediately froze as Rogue gave a huge sigh and flipped onto her other side. She stood there for about five seconds before exhaling slowly and then continued her trek to the bathroom.
* At this rate I'll like make it to the bathroom by morning! *
"Kitty..."
"Ahhhhhhhh..."
Rogue flicked on the light switch. She gave Kitty a disappointed and annoyed scowl.
"Kitty will yuh keep it down, it after eleven yuh know."
"Rogue... I... I can explain! You see it's like this... Pietro and I were like so into our project that we like totally lost track of time. I didn't mean to like stay out this late but it was like inevitable you know..."
* There she goes again - rambling! Better stop her now before she wakes up the entire mansion and gets into even more trouble. *
"Kitty shut up and sit down!" Rogue said in a harsh yet quiet tone.
"Like sorry."
"Now what's the deal with yuh, huh? Why have yuh stayed out this late? And most importantly why are yuh interrupting my sleep?"
"I'm sorry Rogue but I just like lost track of time that's all. Please don't be mad at me?"
"I'm not mad at yuh Kitty, I'm just concerned that's all. Yuh've been acting so weird these past few days."
"I guess Scott's like pretty mad at me huh? How am I like going to explain this to him? He like hates Pietro - more like the entire Brotherhood - he'll never believe me."
"Calm down Kitty, I covered for yuh!"
"Really? How did you like do that?"
"Believe me it wasn't easy! Let's just say I have a special way of talking to Scott!"
"Like thanks Rogue, I owe you one!"
"Well - I'm willing to let it slide if..."
"If what?"
"If yuh tell me what's really going on! Where'd you get the ring?"
"I like don't know what you mean." Kitty said this as coolly as possible.
"Fine but you know I can always tell Scott what time yuh really came home!"
"Oh you are like so evil! That's total blackmail!"
"I know; now spill it!"
Kitty sat there uncomfortably. What was she going to say? She couldn't tell Rogue that she was like seeing Pietro - and not just seeing him for assignment purposes but like actually seeing him. Fraternizing with the enemy - that's like what Scott would call it.
"Alright I'll like talk but you have to promise you won't tell a soul!"
"Come on Kitty, I'm yuh friend."
"Well... Pietro and I are like seeing one another. And before you like ask, "how stupid can I get or how could I trust someone from the Brotherhood," I just want to like say that I didn't plan any of this. I don't know how it happened! One minute I'm just like standing there hating his guts and the next thing I know I'm like wearing his ring! It all happened so fast, I haven't like had a moment to sort it all through..."
* Kitty was rambling again. Why is it that she always starts rambling whenever I mention the name Pietro? I'm going in! *
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, slow down there Kitty! Take a breath would yuh!"
"Are you like mad at me?"
"Because yuh're with a guy whose supposed to be the enemy, yuh're hiding stuff, sneaking around, strolling in here all hours of the night? Why would I be mad?"
"I don't like get it! Is this a trick question?"
"Kitty I've never actually seen yuh this disgustingly happy! I mean I've seen yuh happy but not this happy! Obviously Pietro knows something we don't but I wish yuh luck."
"So does that mean you're like keeping my secret?"
"Well duh! It's none of my business who boy yuh want to date. All long as yuh're happy... I guess."
Kitty squealed and ran up to Rogue. She hugged her really tightly.
"Kitty... Kitty, I can't breathe."
"Oh, like sorry."
Kitty felt relieved to at least tell someone about Pietro. All this hiding was like making her all nervous and stuff. Now she would just have worry about hiding it from everyone else. At least for the next three weeks she wouldn't have to hide much, this assignment like couldn't have come in a better time. Oh no - assignment! I have to like call Pietro.
"Kitty it's now..." Rogue glanced up at her clock, "it's now 12:15, yuh can't call Pietro now! I actually want to get some sleep!"
Rogue plopped her face onto the pillow and gave a loud groan. She mumbled out,
"This is not going to be easy."
Kitty flushed somewhat; not aware that she had said anything out loud. She smiled to herself and headed for the bathroom - * it is great to finally have someone to share my secret with. This is going to be fun! *
