Chapter 12
Ororo's Pov
I blushed as I heard James whistle and say those words. I nudged Aqua and muttered, "I told you that wearing this was a bad idea."
"What do you mean, 'Ro? Look! all the guys are staring at you! They love it!" Aqua protested, grinning.
"But I don't," I muttered, but she was already jumping onto the dance floor. Rubbing my bare arms, I sat down on a chair, watching Aqua dance her feet off. I could sense Logan's stare, but I was determined not to look back. Suddenly, a slow song was put on.
"May I have this dance, beautiful?" A voice asked. I looked up to see James grinning down at me. Why not? I nodded and got up. We walked onto the crowded dance floor.
James put one hand on my waist, and one on my back. Uncertainly, I wrapped my arms around his neck. We danced for a while.
"So, 'Ro, you like someone?" James asked as we danced. I looked up into his clear green eyes.
"Don't worry, Ororo, I didn't read your mind," James laughed, "I didn't have to. I could tell by the way you're dancing with me. So who is it?" I was about to tell him to mind his own business when a gruff voice interrupted me.
"Can I cut in?" We both turned around to see Logan, dressed in black jeans and a white t-shirt. Even though he was talking to James, Logan was staring at me. I looked away, feeling a blush rise up my face. James looked from me to Logan, and grinned.
"Sure, no problem," James replied, letting go of me. James gave me a quick wink and then walked off the dance floor.
"So can I have this dance, 'Ro?" Logan asked. I nodded. As I felt his hand touch my bare back, I shivered. I hope that he didn't feel that! I wrapped my arms, slowly, around his neck and we started to sway to the slow music. Neither of said a word as we danced. My heart was racing. Should I lean in closer? I could just imagine my head resting on his muscles and….STOP IT ORORO! Stop thinking about that! It was so tempting, but before I could lean closer, the music was over and was replaced with a fast song. I could just KILL whoever the DJ is. Probably Bobby. I wonder what mark he'll get on his history project.…I grinned as I thought about it.
"Uh…'Ro, um…can I talk to you, over there?" Logan asked, releasing me from his embrace. I instantly felt cold as his warmth left me. He pointed to an empty corner in the room.
"Alright," I answered. We walked over to the corner and stood face to face. Logan reached into his pocket, and took out a small box..
"Um…uh…I got something for you, 'Ro," Logan said, looking very nervous, handing me the wrapped box.
"Uh…thanks," I said, taking the box, feeling very guilty. The truth was, I didn't get anything for Logan. Aqua and I spent all our time shopping for clothes and make up at the mall. I didn't have any time to buy anything for him.
"Go ahead, open it," Logan urged. I carefully took of the bow and started to take off the wrapping paper.
"No need to be careful, 'Ro," Logan grinned, "just rip the wrapping paper off." I laughed and ripped of all the blue wrapping paper. Inside was a black velvet box. I opened the lid and gasped. Inside was the most beautiful necklace I've ever seen. The necklace was a small cloud made out of crystal, with tiny silver lightning bolts dangling from it. I gasped again as I recognized the beautiful pearl from the beach dangling from the crystal cloud too. I didn't know what to say, it was so beautiful.
"Thanks," I managed to choke out as I stared at the necklace.
"You want me to put it on for you?" Logan asked. I nodded, not trusting myself to speak. Logan took the necklace out of the velvet box and I turned around so he could put it on. Logan slipped the necklace around my neck and I could feel his warm breath on my neck.
"There," Logan said, turning me around so he could see what it looked like, "it looks beautiful on you, just like I thought I would. Look, I got one too," Logan said, taking out a necklace on his neck from under his t-shirt. It was made out of crystal too, but it had a wolf on it instead of a cloud. The other pearl from the clamshell was dangling from the miniature wolf.
"I…I don't know what to say. They're beautiful," I said, looking into his eyes.
"Then don't say anything," he said softly, raising a hand to rub my cheek, "I just want you to know that you mean a whole lot to me and…I want to be more than friends…will you be my girlfriend?" I opened my mouth to say something, but I didn't know what to say. Then, surprising both Logan and myself, I suddenly wrapped my arms around his neck and pressed my lips against his. At first, Logan was surprised but he slowly returned the kiss. His hands snaked around my waist, bring me closer. I poured all the feelings I felt for Logan into the kiss. The kiss was long and passionate. We finally released each other to breath.
"So does that mean yes?" Logan asked, grinning as he pressed his forehead against mine.
"Guess," I replied before kissing him again.
Third Person's Pov
"Awwww! Isn't that sweet!?" Aqua said, jumping onto the couch after dancing for a few minutes.
"What's sweet?" Rouge asked, sitting down beside her.
"That," Aqua replied, pointing toward the corner where Ororo and Logan were kissing.
"I knew it! Logan's been acting all weird lately! It's must be because of Miss. Munroe!" Rouge said, smiling.
"Hey people," Kitty said as she sat down on the armrest with three cans of coke in her arms, "so what are we talking about?"
"Ororo and Logan! Don't you think they make a fab couple?!" Aqua asked, opening a can of coke that Kitty gave her.
"Yah! They look sooooooo cute together!" Kitty said, handing Rouge a can of coke.
"NO THEY DON'T!" Someone shouted. They turned around to see Jean marching up to them, anger written all over her face.
"What do you mean they don't?!" Aqua demanded, getting up.
"I mean that Ororo and Logan aren't a good couple!" Jean shouted.
"Well that shows what YOU know!" Aqua said, then she grinned, "No wait. Don't you have a thing for Logan? Oh I see, I get it now."
"What do you get!?" Jean shouted, her face turning red.
"I get why you think Ororo and Logan don't make a good couple. It's because you're JEALOUS!" Aqua said triumphantly.
"WHY YOU LITTLE PEST! THAT'S NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!" Jean shouted, spit flying from her mouth. Her face was so red that it almost matched her hair.
"Oh my, little Jeannie is getting all pissed off now…well I guess that you need to cool down." Aqua pointed a finger at the punch bowl. Suddenly, the punch shot out from the bowl and landed on Jean.
"AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! MY NEW DRESS!!!!!!!" Jean screeched, she ran out of the room, tropical punch all over her. Once Jean was out of the room, everyone started to laugh.
"You are GOOD!" Rouge said to Aqua, giving her a high five as they laughed. Aqua was laughing too hard to answer. She was rolling on the floor, clutching her stomach as she laughed.
"Good one, kiddo," a gruff voice said from behind them. They stopped laughing long enough to see Logan and Ororo, hand in hand, walking towards them.
"Thanks," Aqua replied when their laughter finally died down.
"So when are you two going to tell everyone about you two getting together?" Rouge asked. Hearing this, Ororo's face got red.
"Don't be embarrassed, Miss. Munroe!" Kitty laughed.
"Hey! That's a good idea!" Logan grinned.
"What?!" Ororo exclaimed, looking shocked.
"Don't you think that we should tell them?" Logan asked, squeezing her hand.
"Well…I guess…."
"HEY PEOPLE!" Logan shouted, but nobody paid any attention. They just kept on dancing.
"Let me do it," 'Ro said, smiling at Logan. Logan grinned and nodded. Ororo's eyes started to mist with white. Small, white clouds started to cover the ceiling, snow drifting slowly from them. The people on the dance floor stopped dancing, staring at the clouds in awe.
"Whoa! This is so cool Ororo!" Aqua shouted, opening her mouth so the snowflakes drifted into her mouth, "why didn't you do this before!?" Ororo's eyes smiled as her eyes turned back to their normal colour.
"Hey people! Over here!" Logan shouted. Everyone turned around and stared at Logan and Ororo.
"I have something to say! Ororo and I….are going out!" Everybody cheered and some people whistled. Ororo turned red and looked down at the floor, smiling. James walked up to them.
"Congratulations, Ororo," James said, kissing her hand.
"Thanks," Ororo answered, withdrawing her hands quickly.
"Back off, bub. She's mine," Logan growled, standing between Ororo and James.
"Don't worry, Logan. I would never take another man's girl," James laughed, "but if you two break up, you better watch out."
"Whatever," Logan said, rolling his eyes.
Ororo laughed. Her heart filled with joy as Logan grinned at her. Her hand reached for the beautifully made necklace on her neck. She didn't really know if this was love. All she knew was that as long as Logan was with her, everything would be okay. Suddenly, Logan wrapped his arms around her waist from behind and kissed her on the head.
"This girls mine, people! So lay off!" Logan shouted. Everybody laughed as they heard this. They were all happy for the happy couple, but the happiest ones were Ororo and Logan themselves.
Well, maybe TWO people weren't happy. Jean and Scott were filled with rage as they saw the two together.
"Scott, we need to talk," Jean said telepathically to Scott. He nodded and the both walked out of the room, the music starting to play again. Once they were outside, they started to talk.
"What are we going to do!?" Jean asked, her teeth clenched, "I just can't bare the thought of them together!"
"I know how you feel, Jean," Scott replied, his fist clenched into a tight ball.
"We NEED to break them up!"
"I know, so let's begin the plan," Scott said, an evil smile spreading across his face. Jean started to grin evilly too. But unknown to them, a boy with dark red hair and dark royal blue eyes was listening to what they were saying.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Well here's the end to this chappie! I bet you people want to know what Jean and Scott's evil plan is…well I'm not telling you! HAHAHAHAHAHA! Anyway, Remember TO READ AND REVIEW PEOPLE!
