Kiss the Girl
"Can' believe DATS y' real name Cherie...." Remy mused quietly.
"Don't yah dare laugh Cajun.... Ah aint too keen on it...."
"Rogue suits y' better. MON Rogue."
"Possessive?"
"Only o' y' Chere." Rogue turned and smiled up at him, his arms going about her waist. She'd dressed carefully this morning, so no skin was showing where he would hold her.. of where he seemed fond of holding her – her waist.
He led her into a café, guiding her into a booth, before going to the toilet. As he exited, he went to the owner, smiling a little as he neared him.
"So which Sheilah ya brought t'day Remy?" The Australian grinned. "An' 'ow long does this one 'ave left?" It was a long-standing joke. Remy only ever brought women here for dinner if it was more than a one-night stand, and there Rogue sat, testament to it.
"Don' John."
"Don't what?"
"Don' please?"
"Rem...."
"Remy means it...."
"But...."
"Non."
"Not even...."
"Non!" Remy sighed. "Dis un b' diff'rent John. Special." John jaw suddenly dropped as he looked at his long-time friend.
"Ya 'aven't.... Oh, Rem!"
"Quoi?"
"Ya 'aven't taken advantage of the pretty thing yet...." Remy shrugged.
"So? An' Remy don' 'tend t' take 'vantage o' dis one. SPECIAL John."
"You kissed 'er yet?" Something in Remy's eyes must've given him away because the Australian started laughing. "This is just.... TOO much Rem!"
"John.... Don'...."
"There you see 'er
Sitting there across the way
She don't got a lot to say
But there's something 'bout 'er
And you don't know why
But you're dying to try
You wanna kiss the girl."
"S' how b' y' lil' femme?" Remy tried to change the subject, trying to hide the faint blush that had crept into his cheeks.
"'Mara's 'lright. Baby Lauren's doing good too...."(1) Remy smiled a little.
"Dat's good t' here mon ami."
"No, I'm John mate." (2)
"Oui. John-mate."
"Y..... y'funny.... ha ha ha..... Very funny Frenchy."
"Remy n' fren...."
"Shh Frenchy. Y' left ya Sheilah 'lone...." As Remy turned to check on Rogue, John moved and spoke directly into his ear, in his usual loud voice.
"Yes, y' want 'er
Look at 'er, y' know y' do
Possible she wants y' too
There is one way to ask h'
It don't take a word
Not a single word
Go on and kiss the girl."
Remy turned back, rubbing his stubble to hide the blush that was creeping back.
"John.... Homme.... d' Remy a favour?"
"Sure frenchy. Whaddya need?"
"SHUT UP!" Silence fell and everyone turned to look at him. "Merde...."
"Ooooooooooooooh Remy's in twuuuuuuubble!" John chuckled. "'s 'lright folks.... I'm gonna put 'im back in 'is box soon...." The regulars chuckled and turned back to their meal, leaving Rogue looking a little confused at the boys. "Take yer Sheilah a coffee over an' be a gentleman, as 'ard as it is fer ya Frenchy...."
"John.... Remy not Fr...."
"Go on, go on!" He pushed two cups of coffee into Remy's hands, ignoring what he didn't want to hear, as always. As he watched his friend walk back to his girl, Amara appeared from the back room, the red-haired baby on his wife's hip. John smirked, his arm going around her as she leant into him.
"Sha la la la la la
My oh my
Look like the boy too shy
Ain't gonna kiss the girl
Sha la la la la la
Ain't that sad?
Ain't it a shame?
Too bad, 'e gonna miss the girl."
He chuckled quietly, earning a nod of agreement from the Nova Roman Princess.
"You shouldn't torment him so John..... even if I do like to see him suffer, especially at the hands of a woman." She smiled a little. "He's made enough cry.... its about time someone did that to him." Despite the firey nature that she'd had throughout school, and that of course, was the reason John loved her, her voice was extremely cold. She'd never approved of Remy in ANY way, and chances are, she never would. "The only thing wrong with her.... that I can see from here anyway.... Is that.... fascination with Black. Does she not understand Black is NOT a good colour?"
"Shhh my love...." John chuckled, placing a kiss on their daughters forehead as Remy returned for sugar.
"Now's your moment
Floating in a blue lagoon
Boy you better do it soon
No time will be better
She don't say a word
And she won't say a word
Until you kiss the girl"
The whole situation was extremely funny to John. The girl actually hadn't spoken, that he'd seen, since they'd entered. Remy just scowled at him and moved past him, picking up both sugar and milk, with two spoons.
"Y' done yet homme?" He raised his eyebrow as John put his arm around his shoulders.
"Sha la la la la la
Don't be scared
You got the mood prepared
Go on and kiss the girl
Sha la la la la la
Don't stop now
Don't try to 'ide it 'ow
You want to kiss the girl"
"Y' ne tres pas funny Pyro...."
"Net-trep-as what? Whats a Trep? Why 'm I net one?"
"John..... shut up." Amara scolded him lightly.
"Pleasure t' see y' again 'Mara."
"Sure LeBeau." She answered tonelessly. "So who's the goth?"
"Dat b' Rogue."
"She yours?"
"Remy hope so." He glanced up annoyed as John walked past, singing as he carried a plate of chips to a customer.
"Sha la la la la la
Float along
And listen to the song
The song say kiss the girl."
"Can y' control y' husband?"
"No. Can you?"
"'Mara please?"
"Let me think about it..... No." Sighing, Remy thanked Amara, and walked back to Rogue, escourting her out of the building, and back onto the bike.
"What was that ahll about Cajun?"
"Not'in' Chere. Not'in'." Rogue smirked.
"Quoi? Remy done somet'in'?" Her smiled widened, and softly, and a lot more tuneful than John, Rogue finished the song.
"Sha la la la la
Th' music play
Do what th' music say
Ya got ta kiss th' girl
Ya've got ta kiss th' girl
Ya wanna kiss th' girl
Ya've gotta kiss th' girl
Go on and kiss th' girl."
Remy laughed. "Chere.... Y' a femme an' a 'alf." She raised her eyebrow.
"Ah'll take that as ah compliment...." She turned to him, and placed a quick, soft kiss on his lips. "Ya got ta do what th' music says Cajun.... Kiss th' girl...." Smirking, he sat on the bike, pulling her onto his knee, and kissed her deeply.
A/N: YES! There was another chapter in me! It was originally going to be to Dana Glovers "It is You (I have loved)", but I changed my mind when I found the lyrics to this.... Hell, yes Disney films rock!

(1) Lauren is John's daughter here, cos... well, if ya know the story of Lauren from Something Missing (that IS what I called it right?), She's John's girl, but she's Rogue's other half, and she makes her touch. I just needed a name for a kid connected to John. Lauren fit.
(2) Its a Kitty-Betsy conversation... cept Remy's too smart to elt it carry on for ages! Heh, yeah, right. He's just Remy. Betsy tries to be nice, but it doesnt work too well. Remy's not bothered either way.
