As Jean, Eden and Kurt continued to go back and forth, Remy again glanced over his shoulder at Rogue and noticed that she was once again ignoring him. Not one to pass up the chance to flirt with a pretty girl, especially if it was Rogue, he pushed the chair back to the window so he was right next to her. He sat there for a few minutes and looked at her and smiled. "You never answered my question Chere."
Annoyed, Rogue looked up from her book and said, "What question?"
"Why do you wear all dis black?"
Rolling her eyes, Rogue answered, "Since when do I have to run all my wardrobe decisions by you?"
"No need to get testy Chere," he said smoothly. "I just think you looked nice in that pink sweater you were wearing earlier."
"Thanks for the tip. I'll be sure to burn that sweater as soon as possible."
Remy raised an eyebrow. Grinning, he leaned over and said huskily into her ear, "What if I told you girls in black with green eyes really turn me on?" He leaned back in the chair and waited for her response, already knowing what she was going to say.
"Ugh. I'm getting contacts tommorow, and I may as well burn this outfit too."
"Anything you wear would look tres magnifique," he went on, really enjoying himself.
Rogue snapped her book shut and glared at him. "Keep it going Swamp Rat. Sounds like you're trying to get me to walk around in the nude."
"Be still my heart!"
"You're disgusting," Rogue muttered and opened her book again, trying to block him out.
"Don't bother with the contacts either Chere. Any color you would get, I'd love on you."
Blushing furiously she said, "Do you ever get tired of hearing yourself talk?"
Remy just smiled at her and reached out to twirl a small section of her hair around his fingers. "Not when I'm talking about you."
Rogue shoved his hand away and glared at her book. Absently, she began to twirl her necklace around her finger, not realizing it was the one he left for her the last time she'd seen him.
Amused, Remy took the charm out of her hand and looked at it. "I see you like it."
Rogue snatched the necklace back. "It's pretty. Even though it's from you."
Remy ran his fingers over the delicate chain, noting where it looked like someone welded the clasp shut. "Whatever you say, Chere."
Unknown to the two of them, Eden, Kurt, and Jean were watching them with undisclosed interest. As nonchalantly as possible, the three of them eased into the hallwy. Peeking in, Eden remarked to Jean, "They are so cute together. She may keep shooting him down, but I love how he just keeps at it."
Jean giggled and said, "I hope he has a lot of patience. He's going to need it with her. She's a tough nut to crack."
Eden and Kurt laughed at Jean's comment and Kurt added, "But you forget. Remy has three allies that'll help him. If we come at her from all sides, she won't know what hit her."
"The three amigos!" Eden laughed and high- fived Kurt and Jean.
"How long before the others figure out they are interested in eachother?" Jean mused, peeking into the room just in time to see Remy try to play with Rogue's hair.
"Oooh..... denied!" Kurt remarked as they saw Rogue push his hand away.
"Well Jean, I know some of the others know he's interested in someone. If he does this kind of stuff to her in front of everyone, then the secrent wont last long." Eden commented as she tried to do a handstand in the hallway.
Back in the bedroom, Rogue was trying to concentrate on her book, but she was very distracted.
God he smells good, she thought to herself. I wonder what kind of cologne he wears.
She glanced up from her book and rubbed her forehead with her left hand.
Get a grip girl! she told herself. It's not like you can have a normal relationship with him or anything. Plus, he's probably just all talk. He likes to see if he can get a reaction out of me.
She closed her eyes, but there was one nagging thought in the back of her head and before she could stop herself, she bourted out, "Why were you really here today? I know you just didn't wake up this morning and think to yourself, 'Hey, I'm going to join the X-Men today!'"
Startled at first by Rogue's sudden outburst, Remy laughed at the last part of her comment. "To tell you the truth Chere, I came here to see you. Joining up with the X-Men was an impulse decision."
