The Truth Hurts
Chapter XIII: Look, but Don't Touch
By: Michelle
"Hey kid, what's eating you?" Logan asked as he found Bobby getting ready for breakfast.
Bobby finished buttoning up his shirt before he made a reply. "Nothing, I just miss Rogue."
"And you're worried Remy is going to make a move on her while you are gone." He walked over to Bobby and patted him on the shoulder. "It's gonna be alright kid. Besides, how much flirting could he do in 24 hours?"
"Logan, have you seen him when it comes to women. He's like a crack dog to cocaine." Bobby explained. "A few weeks ago in the mall, he was telling Rogue, Kitty, and Jubilee what thongs they'd look good in." He sighed and hung his head. "I'm worried. What if…"
"Look." Logan faced him man to man. "Rogue is a smart girl. Have faith in her." Damn, I sound like Kurt. "Girls like her fall in love with good guys. Trust me on this."
Bobby nodded. Rogue wouldn't dump me for Remy. Would she?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Jubilee, Kitty, and Rogue walked down the hall to the main kitchen for breakfast.
"So, like are you nervous about teaching with Remy today." Kitty asked more cheerful than usual.
"NO." Rogue replied and fiddled with her double braided hair.
Jubilee turned around and pointed. "Yes, you are."
Rogue sighed. "You guys don't start this again." This is starting to get on my nerves. She opened the door to the kitchen. "I don't like Remy that way."
"Chere don't like Remy what way?" He asked as he prepared breakfast.
"Umm…when you ummm……nothing….." Rogue sucked in a deep breath as she looked at him. Oh My God. She was speechless and turned to Jubilee and Kitty for help, but they were in the same position she was.
Remy stood there with a frying pan making himself scrambled eggs. He wore his tight black jeans that made girls want to faint. His camouflage muscle shirt showed off his six pack, while his biceps bulged and displayed his flaming cards tattoo. His unshaved stubbly face and the camo bandanna on his head topped off his bad boy ensemble. His red on black eyes sparkled mischievously as a wave of emotions from the girls flooded his head. "You filles hungry?"
The hypnotized three nodded and sat down in unison.
Piotr walked in to see the three girls drooling over Remy and rolled his eyes. Oh please.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Still in her nightgown, Ororo stood in front of her bathroom mirror and brushed her long silvery hair. She smiled to herself. It was a beautiful, peaceful morning.
BAMF
"Good morning, fraulein!"
She jumped and dropped the brush on the floor. I hate it when he does that.
Kurt picked the brush up with his tail and wrapped his arms around her waist, resting his chin on her shoulders. "I'm sorry, liebe. I didn't mean to scare you."
She turned around in his arms and kissed him. "Apology accepted." She took the brush from his tail. "Now, if you will excuse me, I have to get dressed now."
Kurt backed out the bathroom at her request and watched her close the door giving him a sweet smile. He took a deep breath. Tonight. I shall ask her tonight.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
"How you filles be liking your breakfast?" Remy smiled over the girls and began frying some eggs for the kids that weren't allowed to use the stove.
"This is good." Jubilee replied and stuffed another forkful of eggs in her mouth. "Vrery vrery gud."
'Delicious." Rogue blushed as she caught Remy smiling over at her.
This sucks. Kitty took a bite of her fruit salad. This is what I get for being a vegetarian. Ah, now Piotr is staring at me.
Kurt squeezed Ororo's hand as they walked to the kitchen followed by the rest of the students.
"Mmm. I smell something good."
"Remy must be flirting." Kurt replied to her comment, knowing full well Remy only cooked when there was an opportunity to impress one of the girls.
"Good morning." Ororo said as she and Kurt opened the door to the kitchen to find Remy serving some of the students breakfast. "They have you hard at work Remy."
"Non." He replied and began to fix more eggs for some of the students that followed the two teachers. "Remy just helping out." And impressing the chere there. He smiled over at Rogue again.
"Uh huh. I'm sure." Ororo replied then whispered. "Don't overdue it."
"Ja." Kurt nodded and grabbed down some plates for the students. "You can look but you can't touch."
"Remy know dat." He replied innocently.
Rogue, Kitty, and Jubilee finished their plates and got up from the table to make room for the younger students. Each placed their plate in the sink.
Rogue paused as she saw the pile of dishes. We are so rude. Remy makes breakfast for us and we are going to leave him with a pile of dishes to clean up.
"Hey Rogue, like what are you doing?" Kitty asked. Her eyes widened and she and Jubilee backed up as she pulled off her gloves.
"Washing dishes." Rogue placed her gloves on the counter and rolled up her sleeves. "And ya'll can start drying."
"We had to stop and ask didn't we?" Jubilee carefully took a washed plate out of Rogue's hand and began drying it.
"Sorry." Kitty apologized.
Remy smiled to himself as Rogue stood a few feet away from him washing dishes. "Chere look like Pocahontas." He said batting one of her plats.
Kitty looked over to Jubilee. He is so flirting with her.
"And what about you?" Rogue turned to him with her hands still in the sink. "You look like G.I. Joe."
And she is so flirting back. Jubilee smiled at Kitty.
Remy laughed at her comment. "Chere no likes."
Kitty giggled. They'd make a cute couple.
"No." Rogue replied. "You look…" Hot. Sexy. Fine. Just say something. "…good."
Dumb answer Rogue. Jubilee shook her head.
Remy smiled at the confused state she was in as he tapped into her emotions. He served the students waiting for eggs, then turned off the stove leaving the pan on it to cool.
Rogue paused holding a cup in her hand under the running water as he walked over to her. Goosebumps came over her as she felt his breath come against her neck, then he whispered in her ear. "Remy think chere look good too." He backed away from her enough to tilt his head to look down to his target. Then, he made his move.
*Gasp* Rogue jumped sending a full cup of water splashing on Jubilee and Kitty. He pinched my ass. I can't believe he pinched my ass. She bit down on her lip giggling. Bobby hadn't even tried that.
Kurt looked over to Remy. If he did what I think he did, I'm going to kill him.
Remy had one of his mischievous grins across his face, pleased at Rogue's reaction. His facial expression changed when he found Kurt giving him one of those don't-piss-off-the-big-brother-stares. He backed up away from her and held his hands up where Kurt could see them. Remy look but not touch, Monsieur.
