"Come, let's go out to ze pool." Kurt pleaded tugging her arm. Amanda looked at him in disbelief. "I don't have a bathing suit. And you want me to come to the pool in this outfit?" Amanda shook her head. "I don't think so. Can you say J-LO?"  Kurt rolled his eyes and pulled Amanda to the door.

"Don't vorry I have it covered."

"Wait a minute," Amanda said meekly struggling in Kurt's grasp.  "Shouldn't we ask Rogue if she wants to come?" Amanda said turning to Rogue. Kurt shot Rogue a pleading look and shook his head. Rogue put on a false smile. "Nah, it's alright I'm fine. Plus I wanna enjoy this time while Kitty ain't here."

"You sure?"

"Yea. You two kids have fun."

          Kurt mouthed the words "thank you" and smiled a large fanged grin.

"Alright, if you're sure. See ya Rogue." With that, Amanda allowed Kurt to drag her out to the pool.

"Bye." Rogue said to the now vacant spots where Kurt and Amanda had once stood. Shaking her head a single tear ran down her pale cheek. A tear for the romance she would never have, the hugs and kisses she would never share, and the man she would never love.  Looking down at her gloved hands she mentally cursed her mutation. Taking out her journal, she wrote:

A Sight that can never be seen,

A feeling that can never be felt,

A whisper that can never be heard,

A taste that can never be savored.

          Stopping she looked over her writing. As an extra thought, she added.

Now I know just how Helen Keller felt.

          Sighing she tried to focus on something less depressing. Outside she heard Amanda squeal. Hmm, what had Amanda meant by her statement? What did she have planned? Rogue didn't know but she was curious as hell to find out.

          Amanda made Kurt stop at the edge of the pool.  "Alright", she said placing a hand on her hip. "Where's this bathing suit you promised me?" Kurt smiled. "You are mistaken my lady, I never promized you a bazing zuit." Amanda gave him an evil eye. "Yes, you did you said you'd take care of it. So where is it?"

"You knov you look so beautiful vhen you're angry."

Amanda rolled her eyes. "Don't try to be suave with me Mister. Now where is it? Cuz I'm dead serious, I am not getting in the pool with these clothes on." Kurt shrugged nonchalantly, "Then take them off." Amanda eyed him suspiciously. "I don't have anything on under here and you know it." With a splash Kurt dove into the pool, resurfacing he stared at Amanda. "You have on undervear, don't you? Alzough the prozpect of you not having any on is very, shall we say...interesting." 

"Kurrrrrttttt," Amanda whined.

Swimming towards the edge of the pool Kurt limbed out. Beads of water ran down his body and Amanda tried hard not to follow there trail.

"So what'd ya zay? Ze water is very nice. Bezides zeres no one around. Come on." Kurt said beckoning towards the water.

"But what about Logan and Jean? Not to mention Rogue could come out here at any moment."

"Zere all buzy. Zey won't bother uz."

 The thought was tempting and Kurt's smile (as well as his body) was beguiling. Releasing her inhibitions, Amanda began to strip off her clothes.

"Turn around." She said motioning to a now floating Kurt. Kurt's face took on the look of a small abandoned child.

"Aww…do I have to? Ze viev from here iz incredible."

Thinking of the earlier incident, Amanda conceded. "Alright, you can watch." Never breaking eye contact with Kurt she leisurely she took off her shirt, followed by her shorts and sneakers. Until, she was clad only in bra and panties. Meanwhile Kurt's mouth had gone dry as a dessert and his body was starting to react with surprising quickness. Shrugging, Amanda allowed her bra straps to fall away. She saw Kurt's eyes center on her completely.   

Reaching behind her, she unhooked her clasps and the bra fell away.  Mischievously Amanda hooked her thumbs into the sides of her panties and drew them bit by bit down to her knees. She was enjoying to bodily pain she was causing Kurt. With a last push, the panties were discarded.  Kurt's eyes widened and he could feel the hardness between his legs start to rise. Testing the water with her toe Amanda dove in. When she resurfaced, a smiling Kurt awaited her.

"Nov, vas zat zo hard?" Kurt asked, his voice wavering.

"No, I think this is," Amanda's hands encircled Kurt's rigid shaft. She could feel Kurt immediately tensed up.

BAMF! Kurt was gone. "Damn," Amanda mumbled slapping the surface of the water. "So close yet so far. What are you so afraid of Kurt?" Amanda whispered into the still wind.  Looking up she saw the Sun setting an appealing golden-brown over the trees.  Sliding out of the water she quickly rushed into her clothes.
