Angel In Blue Jeans – Maroon 5
ONE WEEK LATER....
Remy hadn't left Bayville.... He'd just moved to the other side. Who'da thought he'd still be around? He could help it. He risked every opportunity to see her.... His Venus.... His Desire.... And how he hated her**. If she hadn't insisted on being such a b*tch last week, although, maybe, it might have been partly.. Minorly.... A tiny bit, his fault as well. She was to blame.
As usual, he got up about mid-day, after a night of drinking, running his hand over his stubble, to check it was the right length. After looking to his card for approval, he slid the trench coat on and left his apartment***.
Walking through the streets of Denver, he suddenly stopped, ducking into an alley as three figures walked past.... three people he knew so well. What was even more surprising was that he hadn't slept with any of the females either. He looked from the Red-head, to the petite brunette to the Goth, inbetween the two, and being escourted against her will, to the Goth's rear, in the tight blue jeans.
Wait.... Jeans? He checked again. Yes, it was definitely Rogue, and she was definitely wearing BLUE Jeans.... Stone-washed as well. Well, she still looked good, no matter what she wore....
I saw an angel in
blue jeans today
I felt that she melted all my bitterness away
Suddenly he wast angry at her anymore.... He just wanted to run up behind her and wrap his arms around her middle, and kiss her, regardless of consequences, letting her know how much he loved her. How much he needed her.... She kept him straight... right. He wasn't just a thief when he was with her. He was so much more.... and yet, he'd set out to hurt her, that fateful day.
You always tried so
hard to hide your wings behind your coat
So let it be and let them free
So you can't hoover low above the ground
"Rogue...." he whispered, his eyes full of the sadness that eminated
from his broken heart, a piece missing.... the piece that would always belong
to Rogue.... even if she never knew it. As he spoke her name, she turned,
almost as if she'd heard it. She didn't look like the Rogue he knew.... It
broke his heart even more to see her like this. The fire was completely gone
from her eyes, and she looked so sad, and yet almost hopeful as she searched
the people for the voice she could have sworn she heard.
You look so tired
you've got moonbeams in your eyes
And if I believed I know you'd be the first to fly
He pulled a piece of paper out of his pocket, and glanced from it, to Rogue. He had to make this better somehow.... Even more down-hearted than he had been when he set out this morning, he wrote her a brief note.
Taking a moment to gather courage.... something he'd never had to do before.... he set out across the crown of the mall, and ducked into the same store she had escaped into. He 'accidently' bumped into her, dropping the note into her pocket. Apologising, and wishing he could stay longer, he carried on out the back door, and up the fire escape.
You always tried so
hard to hide your wings behind your coat
So let it be and let them free
So you can't hover low above the ground
After the stranger had bumped into her, Rogue smelt something familiar as he moved away.... She smiled slightly. He smelt like Remy.... REMY! Her eyes went wide as she felt the paper in her pocket, and she took off after him, leaning out on the fire escape, trying to see him on the floor below. She never thought to look up.
Unfolding
the paper, she smiled as she read the words, before nodding. She'd do it....
She could manage it.... Right?
I'll find sunshine
sometime soon
How can I miss anything about you
When I don't even know what your name is
Later that night, with two bags, Rogue approached the park.. their chosen meeting place, from when they'd first met. Good times.
"Y' brought it." Remy sounded surprised, as he looked up at her form the bench. "T'anks Chere."
"O' course Ah did...." She replied awkwardly. Handing him one of the bags.
"W'ats in de ot'er one Chere?" He asked, eyebrow raised. She simply shrugged in return. "Den why's it here?"
"Ah don't know Remy.. Ah jus' don't."
"Do y' want t'?" He stood, stepping to her. "Rogue, Chere? Look at Remy.. D' y' wan' t' come or non?" She paused.
I feel like I know
you as well as I know the sun
So please tell me where is my sunshine now
"Ah.... Ah don't Kno..... aww, Hell.... Remy, Ah can't think when yah stood there...." She turned away from him, only to find him stood there already.
"Chere...." He tilted her chin up. "Eit'er y' do, or y' don'."
"Ah don't....
When Ah think about it.... but Ah do when Ah think 'bout yah.... And when Ah
see yah...."
I'll find sunshine
sometime soon
How can I miss anything about you
When I don't even know what your name is
"Ah.... Ah think Ah love yah Remy LeBeau.... as much as Ah may hate that fact, and Yah...."
"Rogue, Chere!" He laughed. "Remy loves dat y' love 'im. Now he don' feel s' stupid feelin' sorry 'bout cryin' cos 'e 'urt y', and made y' cry...."
"Ah did not cry!"
"Y' did Chere." He nodded knowingly. "Every
night. On de roof."
"Yah were SPYING on meh?"
"non Chere.... Remy makin' sure y' don' fall off when y' sleep...."
I feel like I know
you as well as I know the sun
So please tell me where is my sunshine now
"Remy....?"
"Yes mon Coeur?"
"Was it yah? Thursdeh Night?" He smiled and nodded, taking her hand.
"Not a dream Chere.... Remy b' dere. He hol' y' while y' slept.... and he kiss'd y' forehead a'fore he left." He touched the centre of her forehead. "Dere." She smiled.
"Ah realleh do love yah Remy...."
"Je t'aime aussi Chere...."
How
can I miss anything about you
When I don't even know what your name is
"Rogue?" He asked, as the two headed off into the sunset..
"Yes?"
"Y' real name Chere.... What is it?"
She smiled a little.
"A closeleh guarded Secret Cajun...."
"Please?" He pulled the puppy-dog face.
I feel like I know
you
As well as I know the sun
And I wonder where is my sunshine now
"Oh Ahlrigt!" She laughed. "Mah real name's...."
*Cue Cheesey Music!*
** Shamelessly ripped from A Knight's Tale..
*** In one of my other fics....(forgotten which one..) Remy talks to the Queen of Hearts, the Card he relates to Rogue. Same concept. He looks to her for approval, although she can't, and maybe wont give it.
