OoOoOoOo Chapter 4 OoOoOoOo
Wednesday
Wanda woke up to a beeping sound that was annoying the shit out of her. Her sapphire eyes opened and glared at her alarm clock. "I remember you' she told herself and then smacked the off button making the poor device to shut up. She sat on her bed and just recalled what had happened yesterday, she had woken up from her nap and found that she was in John's arms. She had been the one to lie very close to him, but she hadn't put his hands around her waist…which was were they were. Just thinking about it made Wanda get a hot burning feeling in her cheeks and a fuzzy feeling in her stomach.
"Oh dear god maybe I'm getting sick," she told her self and looked outside at the dark gray clouds in the sky. She closed her eyes and remembered the rest of yesterday. After she had woken up she stood perfectly still not wanting to wake John up. She watched him for the longest time since she could reach a photo album on the floor. She watched his chest go up and down while he was breathing and wondered if that was her first time sleeping this close to him since it felt so unfamiliar, not bad…defiantly not bad…but very unfamiliar. After a while of pondering that she didn't realize that he was awake and watching he think, when she had noticed she blushed and got out of their position. Then they had gone downstairs, and had a nice family dinner with lots of conversations, she had even met Evan. He was a cute little thing, white and furry, one of those dogs that had to be taken to the groomers a lot or he would look like an old mattress. One thing that bugged her and she had told the family about was about he's name…
OoOoOoOo Flashback OoOoOoOo
"He's such a cute little thing…almost like a stuff animal," Wanda said looking at 'Evan' who had his little paws on her knee trying to get some food. "There's one thing I don't like though…"
"What?" Pietro asked really wondering what it was since he knew Wanda had always wanted a dog like it.
"He's name…what kind of name is Evan for a dog?
Pietro, who was taking a drink from his soda, slurped some out as he started laughing. Wanda looked at him curiously.
"Um…what's wrong with the name Evan?" he asked and smirked at Kurt who was also hiding a couple of laughs, especially since Amanda was glaring at him. Lexa looked at Wanda with wonder wondering what she would say.
"Well it's just so…I dunno not doggish like…hmm I just don't like it," she finished and shrugged. John watched her and then Pietro who looked like he was in heaven.
"So would you like the name Evan if it was a person's name…say…a guys name?"
"Probably not," she answered while eating some of her food, "I don't like how it sounds coming out of my mouth…it sounds so…ugly…" Pietro smiled at her then looked at Lexa to see how she was taking Wanda talking about her cousin's name like that. Lexa was just staring at Wanda with a curious expression, a sinking suspicion in her stomach telling her something she knew her family wouldn't like…
"That's to bad shelia…"
"Oh I'm sorry John…did you name him that?" she asked him.
"Uh...yeah…after…the dog I left in Australia…"
"Sorry I don't mean to offend…"
"Don't worry 'bout it shelia…it was just a dog anyway…" Wanda shook her head agreeing and noticed how the room had all of a sudden become quiet…she looked up and everyone was just staring at her.
OoOoOoOo End Flashback OoOoOoOo
That part of the evening had been pretty weird. After they did that though they watched old home movies up to when she was going of to college. She had noticed that John wasn't anywhere to be seen and that's when he explained they had met during college and that when they had left they still didn't have many pictures and stuff because they were the kind of couple that liked keeping things private… "Between you and me," he had told her.
After that it was getting late and time to go to sleep, she had walked John out to the door and had felt like a teenage girl on her first date. Really nervous and not sure of what to say, John had also looked a bit nervous…why she didn't know. But they talked for a while and she had told him even though she didn't really remember she had had a great time. He had answered he did too and then told he he's see her tomorrow, after that he had given her a soft peck on her cheek. As she remembered it she could still feel the warmth of his lips. She sighed and opened her eyes back to the dark day. A knock made her attention go to the door.
"Come in," she called. Lexa's head poked her head in and looked at her.
"Hey glad to see your up…how you feeling?"
"Pretty good," Wanda answered with a smile. She knew she was close to Lex, which was why she was very comfortable with her.
"Well came to tell you that breakfast is served, John's here and you need to get dresses since you're going to work…"
"WORK? How am I going to work if I don't remem…"
"Don't worry about that you won't really be working…it'll be just so you can see where work, what it is you do and stuff like that. You know so you can be around familiar things…"
"Oh…right…okay then. I'll be down in a few."
"Alright then," Lexa answered and the closed the door. Wanda stared at it for a few but the finally got up and went to her closet for something to wear. She decided on tight black pants and a tight red tank top then a red sweater to complete it. When she reached downstairs everyone was already there stuffing their faces, except John who was smiled at her and waited for her in the living room.
"Morning," she heard people say and nodded at them then sat down to eat. After eating and some conversation at the table, Pietro and Lexa finished and walked into the living looking quite secretive. Wanda watched this and then a few minutes later walked into the room as well, also knowing that the people in the kitchen were watching her. When she walked inside the living room she found John and Pietro talking in whispers as Lexa looked for something in her pursue, the guys stopped talking as they saw her.
"Ready to go luv?" John asked.
"Um…yeah I think so."
"Okay then lets go," Pietro said walking towards the door.
"Wait I though only John and I were gonna go?" Wanda asked confused.
"We're not gonna take long, yur bro just has a couple things to do and then we'll be visiting…a friend," Lexa answered as she applied some blue eye shadow making her match very well with the rest of her blue outfit. Wanda nodded and watched her.
"Lets go woman," Pietro whined after five minutes. Lexa rolled her eyes at him and walked towards Wanda, when she reached her she grabbed her wrist and dragged her along with her.
"Come on before he gets his panties in a twist," she told her while passing Pietro and sticking her tongue out at him. Pietro made a face at her, John looked at them amused.
"So do you guys always act like five year olds?" he asked Pietro as the walked towards the car.
"Hey, she started it," Pietro countered and looked at Lex as she walked towards the car. John shook his head and the couple he had just met, 'They sure have a weird way of showing the care about each other' he thought to himself and followed Pietro.
OoOoOoOo New Orleans OoOoOoOo
Marie sat in a chair in her kitchen and watched the rain pitter patter on the glass and on the ground. She was eating some French bread with (natela) and some hot coffee was right next to her. Remy had left earlier that morning since Jean-Luc had called for him and used Henri as a messenger, so there she was all alone in their huge house with nothing to do. She was bored out of her mind, she had called Betts but she couldn't talk since Rory (her son) had gotten sick for staying out swimming at night. The poor thing was now at home getting rest with a temperature of 103. Betts being the caring mother she was was freaking out and taking care of him. Warren was probably off with Remy and Henri doing whatever it was that Jean-Luc wanted. Rogue sighed and kept drinking her hot chocolate, it was days like these when she missed living in New York with Wanda close by to talk to.
Finally getting fed up she grabbed the nearby phone and dialed a number. Seconds later she heard some one pick up and an angelic voice,
"Hello?"
"Hey Amanda."
"Oh hey Marie…what's up?"
"Nothing much…is Wanda or Lex there?"
"Wanda and Lexa…uh nope…hehehe…" came the nervous reply. "They're working on wedding stuff so yeah…it's been pretty busy," she added. As she felt this Marie all of a sudden felt a bit dizzy and held on to the table feeling as if the room was spinning. She shut her eyes not wanting to feel the sickening feeling she was getting.
"Hello? Marie? Are you still there?"
"Uh…yea…um tell Lex and Wanda ah called."
"Okay…are you ok?" Amanda confusion in her voice."
"Yeah…nevah better. Bah…" Marie answered while holding her head.
"Bye…" Amanda answered in a not so sure voice. Marie hung up and then put her head down and rested it on her arms, this wasn't the first time she had felt something like this, actually it had been about a month in a half. She slowly sat up straight and looked down at her brown drink, as she looked at the hot chocolate she felt her stomach start twirling as if she was riding a roller coaster. She got up suddenly and ran…what the in hell was happing to her body? She wondered as she locked the door to the bathroom. She decided to make a phone call after to one of the only people who knew that this was going on…but that would have to wait.
OoOoOoOo Lensher Industries OoOoOoOo
Amara Aquilla sat on her desk looking at the door waiting for it to open. She was wearing a short dark gray skirt with light gray vertical lines and a matching jacket. Her eyes were on the door but her mind wasn't, Jubilee had updated her on Wanda when they were both at home last night and Amara couldn't believe it…Wanda had amnesia. The thing that made it worse was that her wedding was in three days. She sat there lost in her thoughts she didn't notice she was being watched.
Roberto Da Costa watched Amara with interest as she sat there in a daze expression thinking she looked pretty cute in her business outfit. They had been formerly introduced last night when Ray and himself had stopped at Jubilee's for what ray said was 'paper work'. But instead they ended up staying for about two hours. He had talked to her and found out that she had met Wanda and the rest of the girls in college, also that she had gone out with Pietro for a month…he then dumped her for Lexa. Well not technically since he did wait two weeks after the break up to ask Lexa out…even after that she and Lexa were still good friends but tension had grown a bit between them. He had also found out that she was a bit of a spoiled brat, her parents had gone ahead and given her ton of money to travel the world after college which was the reason she hadn't been here after the others returned. Roberto didn't really mind that she was used to classy stuff…if there was one thing he loved was turn charm the woman he was with and spoil her with little gifts. He didn't know what exactly it was he wanted from her…but he did know he wanted to get close to her. Roberto was one of those guys that lived for the moment, he did what his instincts told him to do and right now they were telling him to ask Amara out…he kept watching her not noticing the door to the office had opened.
Jubilee walked in half giggling and then stopped as she saw Amara in deep thought sitting on her desk, she also noticed Roberto was standing by his doorway looking at her best friend. Ray smirked at what an idiot Roberto looked like and looked at Jubes who smiled sweetly. As he looked at her his smirked disappeared and a small smile appeared as he saw a twinkle in her eye…
"What's with all the looks?"
Everyone snapped out of their goofy expressions and looked towards the voice…Pietro Maximoff was standing behind Ray looking at him and then a Jubes. Lexa was next to him with an amused smile, behind her was Wanda looking around curiously and next to her was a redheaded man looking at her.
"JOHN?" Roberto and Ray yelled in surprise while Pietro and Lexa looked at them since they knew the Aussie. John looked away from Wanda and noticed who called his name.
"Ray, Berto…'ey what are you guys doing 'ere?"
"What are we doing here?" Ray started.
"I think you mean what are you doing here?" Roberto asked walking towards the new group.
John smirked and did a little handshake with both of them, "You know…just in the neighborhood." Before Pietro could interrupt and asked how they knew each other Lexa looked at the desk and stared in shock at what was on it.
"Amara Aquilla!" Amara looked away from the excited boys and looked at the brown haired girl that had called her name and smirked. She did a little hop off the desk and walked towards her.
"Lexa Howlett…" Amara answered and stood right in front of her, "Or should I be saying Lexa Maximoff?" she asked teasingly.
"Either will do," Lexa replied and then both girls gave each other small hugs. Amara then looked at Pietro and slyly smirked.
"Pietro…"
"Amara…long time no see."
"You could say that. So I can't believe someone actually tamed your ass," she remarked winking at Lex.
"Yeah, I guess I couldn't be a player forever," he answered seriously, she nodded.
"So have you guys picked a date?" Lexa was about to reply when Pie interrupted her.
"How bout you girls do your gossip thing in Wanda's office and show her around," he told her as he saw Wand and John both looking around the room lost since it was both times they've seen it.
"Uh…right…but don't forget we gotta go see you know who soon…"
"Yeah yeah yeah…" he told her as Lexa told her and to follow her and Jubes and Amara trailed along introducing themselves to Wanda and telling her they were friends.
They guys watched them and as soon as the door closed Pietro turned and looked at him weirdly.
"How do you guys know each other?" he asked.
"We went to the same college," Roberto answered.
"And then he introduced us," Ray told him pointing at himself and John, "but how do you guys know each other?"
"This is the guy that ran Wanda over…"
"OHHH," they both answered but not looking surprised.
Ray looked at John and said, "Damn…why didn't it is see it before when Pietro told us about this…a bus driver running people over. That is practically screaming your name psycho," he remarked.
"Oh Shut-up Ray your going to make me blush with your complements," John answered dryly rolling his eyes. "Anyway this time it really was an accident…I didn't see the Sheila."
"Sure…that's what they all say" Ray countered. Roberto shook his head at them while Pietro looked at them thinking they were nuts, and also a bit surprised that it seemed like this was John's first 'accident'. Then a realization hit him.
"Wait…this is your CRAZY friend? The one you wanted to hook up with Wanda a awhile back before she announced the engagement?"
Roberto thought for a while but then smiled, "Oh yeah…"
"Wait…that hot temperamental sheila you told me about is Wanda?" John asked.
"Yup," Roberto answered and then added, "What a coincidence…"
"Why the hell did you want my sister to get with this nut?" Pietro asked.
"Well…why not? You have him pretending to be with her…"
"I can see it," Ray spoke up, "Wanda needs someone to lighten her up and John need someone to calm him down," he commented while Roberto nodded.
"That's exactly what I was thinking when I told them about each other…" he answered, John and Pietro opened their mouths ready to respond but stopped since the door to Wanda's office opened and Lexa popped her out.
"Are you ready?" she asked.
"Oh yeah…lets go," he answered and looked back at the guys. "Well we got go, you call me on my cell phone if anything happens," he told John who nodded.
"Where are you guys going?" Roberto asked.
"To Lance's a certain Kat of his has been calling like crazy so we gotta go and tell her what's happening."
"You going to reunion tonight?" Ray asked him.
"Yeah…Lexa's making me. Are you guys?"
"I am," Ray and Roberto answered at the same time. "Is Lex going with you?"
"No, she's staying to do some of the wedding stuff since Wanda won't be able to. I think she's also gonna get Kitty to help. What about you guys…you going alone."
Before they could answer three of the girls came out of the office talking at once and at a Rapid speed. Roberto and Ray looked at them.
"I'm not sure yet…" Ray answered.
"I'm thinking of asking someone," Roberto answered after, as the girls got closer.
"Okay so make sure you keep an eye on her, and talk to her see if you can get her to remember anything and…"
"Yes mom we'll do all that," Jubilee interrupted her, while Amara moved her head from side to side getting annoyed with the directions.
"Alright I'm shutting up now…"
"Thank God," Amara mumbled but smiled sweetly while Lexa glared at her. Lexa then turned to John…
"What are you still doing here? She's in there alone you know…"
"Oh right," John answered and walked into the office closing the door behind him. Everyone watched him.
"Ok well we're leaving so later…" Pietro told them holding Lexa's hand and dragging her off. "Bye" she told them over Pietro's shoulder since he was pushing her out the door.
"Bye," Jubes and Amara answered smiling at them, after they turned to the guys and just stared at them.
"Sooo…" (Jubes)
"Mmhmm…" (Ray)
"Yeah…" (Amara)
"Ok…" (Roberto)
They stayed standing like that for a minute. "There's work to do," Ray told them all. The other Three snapped out of their dazes and answered "Right", then went off to do whatever they had to do.
OoOoOoOo Wanda's Office OoOoOoOo
John walked into the room to find Wanda sitting on a black leather chair, which he presumed, was where she usually sat.
"Ey," he told her snapping her out of the thoughtful look she had by looking at a paper in front of her. She looked up and smiled at him.
"Hey," she answered.
"You ok? They make you feel ok? Do you remember anything?" he questioned as he stood in front of the large brown desk with many office appliances on it.
"Yeah I'm fine…they were okay. Hmm I don't remember anything but they did seem very familiar…"
He nodded at her and then looked at the paper she had in her hand, it was a wedding planners ad. 'Shit' he thought to himself. Wanda looked at him and noticed what e was staring at; she blushed at the fact that she had been caught staring at it.
A small blush appeared on her cheeks, she had found that paper on her desk and it made her wonder if maybe they were thinking about marriage. She looked up at John who was staring at the paper intensely.
"Whoops…better tell Lexa she for got that," he told her quietly. Wanda's eyes widened a bit, 'Lexa and Pietro's wedding of course' she told herself. She shook her head and felt a bit stupid, why had she thought about marriage.
"Right," she answered looking away from his eyes that were looking deep into hers. John watched her; she didn't remember anything but her subconscious was giving her hints. He frowned as she looked away and started moving towards a big black leather couch, dropping on it he wonder why it was bugging him that she might remember…isn't that what was suppose to happen? She'd get her memories back and then run off and get married to this Evan guy…and then he would walk out her life without her giving him another glance. His frown deepened at the though, he didn't know why…it just did.
Wanda watched his expression thinking he looked really cute as he pouted; it made him look like a little boy who hadn't had his way. She wondered why he was making that expression for though…she hadn't seen him like that the past two days. He always seemed cheerful and full of spirit but right now it was as if he was miles away.
"You know…I may not remember much…but I'm glad you're here," she told him.
John looked up and over to her, "you are?" he asked a little surprised.
Wanda smiled and nodded, "Everyone is being really nice and I like them all but with you…I feel comfortable…at home…I feel that I have a stronger bond with you than my brother…kinda weird huh? Especially since I'm related t him," she finished with a smile.
"Very…weird," John answered looking at her weirdly, she felt that close to him…and they had barley two days ago…but he couldn't help feeling that he felt the same way. They stared at each other without saying anything…they couldn't find anything to respond with.
OoOoOoOo Somewhere Else OoOoOoOo
"Over here?"
"No…"
"Here?"
"No it doesn't get enough sunlight there…"
"HERE?" the voice asked again annoyed.
"Uhhh…a little to the left…no to the right…no no a bit more to the left…"
"KITTY!" the voice whined.
"Oh I know…but I like don't think I like it there," she whined back.
"We've been doing this for hours," the brown haired handsome guy told her while holding a painting of pink flowers.
"45 minutes hardly stands for hours Lance," Kitty told her husband as she took the painting from him.
"It is if you have to hold it up in the air all the time," he continued whining. Kitty rolled her eyes at her beloved and turned to the door of her little shop when she heard the little bell indicating people.
"Like HI!!" she greeted as soon as she saw who it was. Pietro nodded at her in greeting while Lexa shut the door with the closed sign hanging out looking at the public.
"You know I was like about to yell at you for like coming in with the close sign up," Kitty informed them.
"Then aren't we lucky we know you," Lexa replied and then looked at the painting in her arms.
"What are you guys doing?" she asked also noticing Lance had some pink paint on his face and clothes. Pietro also noticed this and smirked.
"Hey Lance pink is a great color on you, you should wear it more often." Lance growled and was about to make a reply but Kitty got to it first.
"Like leave my babe alone Pietro, were redecorating and repainting stuff. So i'm like totally glad someone has come to see me. Like why hasn't Wanda picked up any of my calls are called back."
"It's a long story," Lex answered.
"We have time," Kitty, answered giving the painting to Lance again, he frowned at it and looked back to the wall where Kitty wanted it. With a groan he got up on a little stool and started trying to put it in the perfect spot all over again.
"By the way do you guys anything to drink or stuff?" Kitty asked politely.
"No thanks," Pietro answered. Kitty nodded and looked to Lance making sure he was keeping his balance.
"So like what's the story?"
"Well to make a long story short...wandagotrunoerbyabusthatwasdrivenbyacarzyaussie and nowsheremembersshitofherweddingoranythingelsesoitoldtheguydrivingthebuswho'snameisJohntobeherboyfriendheagreed," Pietro took a deep breath, "andnowtheyareattheofficeandwandahasn'tdoneanyweddingpreperationscauseshedoesn'tknowshe'sgettingmarried...end of story."
Lance and Kitty stared at him confused...
"In English," Lance replied.
"Please," Kitty added. Pietro rolled his eyes and started all over again while Lexa's phone rang.
"Hello?...oh h..i," She looked at the people in the room and took the phone off her ear. "I'll be right back," with that she walked over to the other corner in the room. Pietro watched her curiously and then looked back to the Alvers (hehehe) and started the tale all over again in slow motion.
"Hey what's up?" Lexa asked.
"Before ah get tah why ah called why the hell haven't yah called me?" came the pissed southern voice. Lexa winced.
"So sorry my southern beauty but…things are pretty hectic around here right now."
"Yah're so lucky yah have the wedding as an excuse…"
"Ok ok bitch at me later and tell me what's the honor of our phone call…"
"Um…ah got dizzy again…"
"MARIE…Wanda and I told your ass to go to the doctor…"
"Ah know…but ah hate going tah the doctors…it's scary…and it smells…and every time I get out ah havta pee…"
"Hey so you mean I'm not the only one who has to go after…"
"Ah think it's cause of how cold it is…"
"Yeah…hey stop trying to change the subject…so what happened?"
"Nothing…was eating…felt sick…got dizzy…went to bathroom…"
"Marie you need to go to the doctor!"
"No ah don't…anyway at least ah didn't faint this time…"
"You've FAINTED!"
"Whoops…did ah forget tah mention that?" Lexa glared at her cell phone.
"Marie Lebeau…if you don't get your ass to a doctors by the end of the day I'm gonna go over there and kick your ass from there to here…"
"Am ah suppose tah be sacred?"
"MARIE!"
"D'accord d'accord…ah'll go shit…"
"You better…I'm gonna call you later just to make sure."
"Fiahne…whateva…bye…"
"Bye." Lex hung up and walked towards Pietro, she got there just in time to hear Kitty.
"OMG tell me that you're like joking?"
"Nope…"
"Wow you're one sucky ass brother you know," Lance commented shaking his head.
"Yeah yeah yeah…he's gotten that lecture about 20 times…anyway Kitty it looks like I'm going to have to finish the things that need to be done by Saturday…so…what mind telling me what that is?"
"A LOT…you like won't finish it alone so I'll help you."
"Great I think Amanda will help too."
"That's great so like where should we meet?"
"Wanda's apartment that's where all the stuff is."
"Shit we better get started," Kitty relied and dragged Lex of to the back. Pietro looked at Lance who was still trying his best with the picture, he was about to leave it where it was but…
"Nope…I think you need to move it to the right," Pietro remarked making Lance groan and hit his head on the wall on purpose.
OoOoOoOo Lensher Industries OoOoOoOo
Wanda and John where still in the places they had been before but now they were laughing while he told her some stupid jokes. She was pretty honest and told him some were corny. She had also entertained herself by asking him what were some of the pick up lines he used on her when they first met. He had grinned at her and started saying a lot, making her laugh and come to the conclusion that he had something for fire since all of them seem to mention it. Except the one…"did it hurt?" "Did what hurt?" "When you fell out of heaven," she had laughed till no end with that one and called him the corniest guy ever. They stopped ands stood quiet trying to get their breaths back, Wanda looked over to John who looked like he was right at home. He was lying on the couch looking at the ceiling with a huge smile on his face, and for some unknown reason Wanda's mind starting thinking about well…not very wholesome thoughts.
"Hey John?"
"Huh?" John said turning his face towards her.
"Have we ever…you know…" she asked for some reason nut blushing…but smirking. John looked at her surprised, this was a new side to her. Not bashful or shy but confident and daring…her true nature was coming; he realized and couldn't help but smirk back at her.
"What do you think?" he asked grinning playing with her. Wanda looked at him curiously and got up. She started walking towards him…slowly yet…sexily. John looked at her even more surprised. Was this the real Wanda? He asked himself but stopped asking himself that as he noticed how her hips swayed from side to side. She stood right in front of his lying body and he stared at her…from head to toe. She crouched down to be eye level with his blue eyes.
"I don't know what to think," she answered. They stood there staring at each other but then she stood up. "Well we've been here a while do you think it's time to take me home?"
John looked at her curiously but shook his head, "Sure why not…so did you like it here?" he asked getting up and stretching.
"It's okay…but it sorta feels…as if I'm in a cage," she mused looking around.
"Have you ever heard that poem?"
"What poem?"
"I know why the caged bird sings"
"No…tell me about it," Wanda answered and they made their way out he did. They opened the door and John was still talking until Wanda hushed him and pointed. John looked at what she was looking at and smirked. Roberto was all flirty with his new secretary.
"So Amara…you doing anything tonight?" Roberto asked. After Amara stopped giggling because of whatever he had said before she looked at him smirking.
"I don't think so why?"
"Well…there's gonna be this thing at my old school…"
"Like what…a reunion…"
"Yea…and well I was wondering if you…might want to go and stuff…" Amara smiled while Roberto fidgeted a bit. John smirked; he had NEVER seen Roberto fidget in front of a girl.
"I'd love to," she finally answered.
"Great…pick you up like at 7:30," he told her smirking.
"'Kay," she answered and then the elevator door opened to show a very happy Asian girl.
"Why are you so happy?" Amara skid Jubilee.
"No reason," she answered with a wide smile and then she looked at Roberto.
"Ray wants to know if you have those papers ready yet," she told him.
"Shit I knew I was forgetting something," Roberto mumbled and walked into his office. Jubilee rolled her eyes and then looked at John and Wanda.
"Oh hey guys…what's up?"
"Nothing…we're just leaving," John answered. They said their good byes and got on the elevator.
Wanda broke the silence and with a smile said, "You do know why she was happy don't you?"
John looked at her, "Pay day?" he asked. Wanda rolled her eyes at him.
"No stupid…that guy asked her out…"
"What guy?"
"The blond with orange bangs…Ray…"
"Oh…NO," John said surprised.
"Yea…it was obvious that they are into each other how can you not know? I mean i'm the one who doesn't remember things and yet I see it as clear as day," Wand answered looking at him as if he were stupid.
""Ey...we guys aren't that perspective when it comes to looking at their relationships..."
"Unless it's about sex..."
"Rig...what no...not all the time..."
"Yeah sure whatever LIAR," Wanda told him teasingly. John smiled at her.
"You know what…"
"What?"
"Lets just get you home kay..."
"Fine...loser..."
""ey that was un called for," he answered as the elevator door opened and they walked off arguing along the way.
OoOoOoOo Later that Night OoOoOoOo
"How do I look?" Pietro asked Lexa as he stood in black pants, white shirt and a black jacket. Lex looked at him up and down.
You look...SEXY," she answered with a smirk. "Are you gonna be wearing this when you get home?"
"Probably...why?" he asked smirking back at her.
"I'm not gonna tell you since you already know the answer," she told him and winked.
"So what time are you leaving to Wanda's?"
"Right now," she answered getting her things and making sure her cell phone was charged. She walked over to him and gave him a long kiss on the lips. "Call me if you need something and remember to mention me," she joked.
"Don't worry you'll be all I talk about," he answered smiling and watched her go. Pietro sighed, he didn't want to go to this thing but now he had no choice so he got his own cell phone and walked out the bedroom door. A couple minutes later he had parked and walked into the gymnasium.
Pietro walked in and looked around. There were people he recognized right away like Fred Dukes and Todd Tolansky, other were unfamiliar. He scanned the room once again and found what he was looking for, Roberto and Ray.
"Hey man," Roberto said as he spotted him walking towards him.
"Hey...you guys here alone?"
"Us alone?" Ray asked.
"When has that ever happened?" Roberto joked. Pietro shook his head at them and smiled.
"So if you aren't lone where all the women?"
"Hey Pietro!" Pietro turned to find Jubilee and Amara in nice elegant dresses. Pietro started at them and at the guys.
"Hello ladies," he answered charmingly while perking an eyebrow at the guys. Instead of teasing them like he wanted to he looked around and asked, "So you guys see any familiar faces?"
"Actually now that you mentioned it…" Roberto stared but stopped and looked at Pietro intensely, or it seemed he was staring at Pietro but he was really staring behind him.
"Hey Pietro," a silky voice spoke and Pietro turned to it only to meet blue eyes, blond hair and a seductive smile.
"Crystal…"
OoOoOoOo Wanda's apartment OoOoOoOo
"So where's Lance?" Amanda asked Kitty as she, Lexa, Rahne Guthrie and kitty sat in a circle making flower bouquets.
"I left him watching TV…he won't notice I'm gone until he goes to bed," Kitty answered playing with the pink flowers in her hands. "What about you guys…where are your men?"
"Kurt's distracting Wanda at the house…"
"Sam's taking care of Trey…that boy hates going to sleep at night…"
"Pietro went to a school reunion…"
"Why didn't you go with him?" Kitty asked.
"Cause I came here to help you guys," Lexa answered in a 'isn't obvious' voice.
"Actually I would have preferred if you went, Pietro was a very well known player in his time. It would be interesting to what people he knew before would think about the fact that's he's engaged," Amanda answered with a smile.
"You should like go you know…it's not to late to go show all those girls that were like totally in love with Pie that he's taken," Kitty added with a smile.
"Yeah…anyways I came just in case one of you had to leave or something," Rahne piped up as all three looked at Lex.
"No that's ok…actually Rahne maybe you should leave…I bet Sam's having a hard time with Trey…I read in a book that they baby's usually like it when the mom puts them to bed."
"I'm sure Sam's doing great...but really you should go."
"I dunno guys…"
"Go it'll be fun and a surprise…" Amanda answered.
"Well…okay thanks guys I'll make this up to you," Lexa answered and got up. 30 minutes later she was all dressed and standing in front of Bayville High.
OoOoOoOo In the gym by one of the exits OoOoOoOo
"So how have you been?" Crystal asked Pietro as she walked outside a bit and looked back to make sure he was following.
"I've been ok…you?"
"Fine…"
"So…you married…have kids?" Pietro asked finding it hard to make conversation with his high school sweet heart.
"No…actually I'm still single…" she answered and looked at him waiting for him to respond. After he didn't she walked towards him and stood right in front of him. Pietro finally said something as she got near, getting a bit nervous.
"Oh really…why wouldn't anyone go for a great girl like you?" he asked.
"It's not that they didn't go for me it's…Pietro I have a confession to make…"
"What?"
"I was really happy when I saw you arrive…"
"Really? Why?"
Crystal looked down at her shoes but then looked up at him, "Pietro…I still love you…"
Pietro stood still shocked, after a while of silence he broke the silence, "Crystal…I'm…sorry." She looked up at him confused not expecting that answer. "I'm…with someone else…"
"But…you said we were gonna be together forever…" she replied in a whisper.
"Yeah...but…" before he could finish he felt warm lips on his and his male instincts couldn't do anything but respond…
OoOoOoOo In the gym OoOoOoOo
Lexa stood in the doorway of one of the exits of the gym…she had looked for Pietro like crazy…and now she had found him…with another woman…
She had run this kind of situation in her head before and every time she went over and beat the shit out of the bitch that was up on her man. But this was real life, and she did something she never though she'd do, she turned around and started walking towards the parking way in a hurry. She bumped into someone and looked up at them.
"Lexa…what's wrong?" Roberto asked worriedly as he saw one of his best friends girl with glossy eyes, indicating tears. Lexa didn't answer she just quickly moved and kept walking toward the parking lot. Amara watched her carefully and the looked to where she had been coming from.
"Hey what was that about?" Ray asked walking over to them with jubilee who had a cup of punch in her hand.
"We're not sure," they answered and walked over to where Lexa had been before. They stopped as the saw Pietro and Crystal…still in lip lock. Pietro finally broke the kiss and looked down at Crystal not noticing their audience.
"Look Crystal…I loved you…but that was in the past. Back then I did picture you in my future…I wanted you to be here doing this with me but…I found a new future. The girl in it…isn't you…" he told he slowly.
"So that's it…you're not even gonna give us a second chance…we had something Pietro you just can't throw it away like that…"
"I'm engaged Crystal…there's nothing I can do for the future you want…"
"Lexa was here," Roberto interrupted them, Pietro turned to him and his eyes slowly widened.
"She looked upset," Amara answered glaring at Pietro.
"As if she saw something she shouldn't have…" Jubes added glaring at Crystal.
"She just left…" Ray told Pietro.
"Shit," Pietro mumbled and walked away but felt a hand on his wrist, without looking at her he got out of Crystal's grip and walked off.
OoOoOoOo Lensher Household OoOoOoOo
Pietro walked into his house and made his way towards the stairs when…
"Somebody's in trouble" came out in a singsong voice. Pietro turned to find Wanda leaning on the wall looking at him with anger in her eyes. He ignored her and walked up the stairs told his room. When he was outside of it he found a pillow and a blanket. He walked up to his door and banged on it.
"Lexa open the door."
"Go fuck yourself."
"Lexa…open the fucken door…"
"I said go away…"
"Lex let me explain…"
"No shut up and leave…I don't need your fucken explanations…I though I knew you Pie…but I guess I was wrong…"
"Lex…"
"…"
"Lexa…"
"…"
"LEXA…"
"…"
"Lex…you know I love…right?"
"…"
Pietro sighed and picked up the pillow and blanket and began walking away but then stopped and looked at the closed door. "Lex…yesterday you said you trusted me…were have all those words gone…" he didn't wait for an answer and kept walking. He went downstairs and lay on the couch. Wanda was still down there and she watched him but didn't say anything.
Eric came down and saw him on the couch. "Pietro…what are you doing here?"
"Got in a fight with Lex…"
"Okay…you do know we have a lot of other spare rooms right?"
"Yeah…but I'll stay here…just to get a feel of how it feels to sleep on the couch…"
"I agree with him…he'll probably end up doing it a lot in the future," Wanda remarked and then went upstairs to her room. Eric and Pietro watched her, she was becoming herself…at a slow process but it was happening.
OoOoOoOo X-ietro's room OoOoOoOo
Lexa dialed a number and quickly got an answer.
"Hello?"
"…Hey…"
"Lex…hey good thing yah called ah went tah the doctors and ah'm…"
"I saw Pietro kissing another women…"
"What? What happened?" Lexa told the story and she and Rogue talked a bit after.
"What are yah gonna do?"
"I don't know…"
"Do yah love him?"
"Yeah…"
"Then do what you're heart tells you to do…"
"Okay…Marie…something's happened to Wanda…"
"What?"
"She got…hit by a bus…on…Monday…"
"WHAT!" Lexa then got yelled at for about half an hour, but she luckily convinced Marie not to come until the day she said she would which was the next day. After that they hung up and Lex just sat there on the king side bed thinking…so much sit was happening. She got under the blankets and started to fall asleep…knowing a certain silver haired guy was gonna plague her mind.

OoOoOoOo Chapter 4 OoOoOoOo
Wednesday
Wanda woke up to a beeping sound that was annoying the shit out of her. Her sapphire eyes opened and glared at her alarm clock. "I remember you' she told herself and then smacked the off button making the poor device to shut up. She sat on her bed and just recalled what had happened yesterday, she had woken up from her nap and found that she was in John's arms. She had been the one to lie very close to him, but she hadn't put his hands around her waist…which was were they were. Just thinking about it made Wanda get a hot burning feeling in her cheeks and a fuzzy feeling in her stomach.
"Oh dear god maybe I'm getting sick," she told her self and looked outside at the dark gray clouds in the sky. She closed her eyes and remembered the rest of yesterday. After she had woken up she stood perfectly still not wanting to wake John up. She watched him for the longest time since she could reach a photo album on the floor. She watched his chest go up and down while he was breathing and wondered if that was her first time sleeping this close to him since it felt so unfamiliar, not bad…defiantly not bad…but very unfamiliar. After a while of pondering that she didn't realize that he was awake and watching he think, when she had noticed she blushed and got out of their position. Then they had gone downstairs, and had a nice family dinner with lots of conversations, she had even met Evan. He was a cute little thing, white and furry, one of those dogs that had to be taken to the groomers a lot or he would look like an old mattress. One thing that bugged her and she had told the family about was about he's name…
OoOoOoOo Flashback OoOoOoOo
"He's such a cute little thing…almost like a stuff animal," Wanda said looking at 'Evan' who had his little paws on her knee trying to get some food. "There's one thing I don't like though…"
"What?" Pietro asked really wondering what it was since he knew Wanda had always wanted a dog like it.
"He's name…what kind of name is Evan for a dog?
Pietro, who was taking a drink from his soda, slurped some out as he started laughing. Wanda looked at him curiously.
"Um…what's wrong with the name Evan?" he asked and smirked at Kurt who was also hiding a couple of laughs, especially since Amanda was glaring at him. Lexa looked at Wanda with wonder wondering what she would say.
"Well it's just so…I dunno not doggish like…hmm I just don't like it," she finished and shrugged. John watched her and then Pietro who looked like he was in heaven.
"So would you like the name Evan if it was a person's name…say…a guys name?"
"Probably not," she answered while eating some of her food, "I don't like how it sounds coming out of my mouth…it sounds so…ugly…" Pietro smiled at her then looked at Lexa to see how she was taking Wanda talking about her cousin's name like that. Lexa was just staring at Wanda with a curious expression, a sinking suspicion in her stomach telling her something she knew her family wouldn't like…
"That's to bad shelia…"
"Oh I'm sorry John…did you name him that?" she asked him.
"Uh...yeah…after…the dog I left in Australia…"
"Sorry I don't mean to offend…"
"Don't worry 'bout it shelia…it was just a dog anyway…" Wanda shook her head agreeing and noticed how the room had all of a sudden become quiet…she looked up and everyone was just staring at her.
OoOoOoOo End Flashback OoOoOoOo
That part of the evening had been pretty weird. After they did that though they watched old home movies up to when she was going of to college. She had noticed that John wasn't anywhere to be seen and that's when he explained they had met during college and that when they had left they still didn't have many pictures and stuff because they were the kind of couple that liked keeping things private… "Between you and me," he had told her.
After that it was getting late and time to go to sleep, she had walked John out to the door and had felt like a teenage girl on her first date. Really nervous and not sure of what to say, John had also looked a bit nervous…why she didn't know. But they talked for a while and she had told him even though she didn't really remember she had had a great time. He had answered he did too and then told he he's see her tomorrow, after that he had given her a soft peck on her cheek. As she remembered it she could still feel the warmth of his lips. She sighed and opened her eyes back to the dark day. A knock made her attention go to the door.
"Come in," she called. Lexa's head poked her head in and looked at her.
"Hey glad to see your up…how you feeling?"
"Pretty good," Wanda answered with a smile. She knew she was close to Lex, which was why she was very comfortable with her.
"Well came to tell you that breakfast is served, John's here and you need to get dresses since you're going to work…"
"WORK? How am I going to work if I don't remem…"
"Don't worry about that you won't really be working…it'll be just so you can see where work, what it is you do and stuff like that. You know so you can be around familiar things…"
"Oh…right…okay then. I'll be down in a few."
"Alright then," Lexa answered and the closed the door. Wanda stared at it for a few but the finally got up and went to her closet for something to wear. She decided on tight black pants and a tight red tank top then a red sweater to complete it. When she reached downstairs everyone was already there stuffing their faces, except John who was smiled at her and waited for her in the living room.
"Morning," she heard people say and nodded at them then sat down to eat. After eating and some conversation at the table, Pietro and Lexa finished and walked into the living looking quite secretive. Wanda watched this and then a few minutes later walked into the room as well, also knowing that the people in the kitchen were watching her. When she walked inside the living room she found John and Pietro talking in whispers as Lexa looked for something in her pursue, the guys stopped talking as they saw her.
"Ready to go luv?" John asked.
"Um…yeah I think so."
"Okay then lets go," Pietro said walking towards the door.
"Wait I though only John and I were gonna go?" Wanda asked confused.
"We're not gonna take long, yur bro just has a couple things to do and then we'll be visiting…a friend," Lexa answered as she applied some blue eye shadow making her match very well with the rest of her blue outfit. Wanda nodded and watched her.
"Lets go woman," Pietro whined after five minutes. Lexa rolled her eyes at him and walked towards Wanda, when she reached her she grabbed her wrist and dragged her along with her.
"Come on before he gets his panties in a twist," she told her while passing Pietro and sticking her tongue out at him. Pietro made a face at her, John looked at them amused.
"So do you guys always act like five year olds?" he asked Pietro as the walked towards the car.
"Hey, she started it," Pietro countered and looked at Lex as she walked towards the car. John shook his head and the couple he had just met, 'They sure have a weird way of showing the care about each other' he thought to himself and followed Pietro.
OoOoOoOo New Orleans OoOoOoOo
Marie sat in a chair in her kitchen and watched the rain pitter patter on the glass and on the ground. She was eating some French bread with (natela) and some hot coffee was right next to her. Remy had left earlier that morning since Jean-Luc had called for him and used Henri as a messenger, so there she was all alone in their huge house with nothing to do. She was bored out of her mind, she had called Betts but she couldn't talk since Rory (her son) had gotten sick for staying out swimming at night. The poor thing was now at home getting rest with a temperature of 103. Betts being the caring mother she was was freaking out and taking care of him. Warren was probably off with Remy and Henri doing whatever it was that Jean-Luc wanted. Rogue sighed and kept drinking her hot chocolate, it was days like these when she missed living in New York with Wanda close by to talk to.
Finally getting fed up she grabbed the nearby phone and dialed a number. Seconds later she heard some one pick up and an angelic voice,
"Hello?"
"Hey Amanda."
"Oh hey Marie…what's up?"
"Nothing much…is Wanda or Lex there?"
"Wanda and Lexa…uh nope…hehehe…" came the nervous reply. "They're working on wedding stuff so yeah…it's been pretty busy," she added. As she felt this Marie all of a sudden felt a bit dizzy and held on to the table feeling as if the room was spinning. She shut her eyes not wanting to feel the sickening feeling she was getting.
"Hello? Marie? Are you still there?"
"Uh…yea…um tell Lex and Wanda ah called."
"Okay…are you ok?" Amanda confusion in her voice."
"Yeah…nevah better. Bah…" Marie answered while holding her head.
"Bye…" Amanda answered in a not so sure voice. Marie hung up and then put her head down and rested it on her arms, this wasn't the first time she had felt something like this, actually it had been about a month in a half. She slowly sat up straight and looked down at her brown drink, as she looked at the hot chocolate she felt her stomach start twirling as if she was riding a roller coaster. She got up suddenly and ran…what the in hell was happing to her body? She wondered as she locked the door to the bathroom. She decided to make a phone call after to one of the only people who knew that this was going on…but that would have to wait.
OoOoOoOo Lensher Industries OoOoOoOo
Amara Aquilla sat on her desk looking at the door waiting for it to open. She was wearing a short dark gray skirt with light gray vertical lines and a matching jacket. Her eyes were on the door but her mind wasn't, Jubilee had updated her on Wanda when they were both at home last night and Amara couldn't believe it…Wanda had amnesia. The thing that made it worse was that her wedding was in three days. She sat there lost in her thoughts she didn't notice she was being watched.
Roberto Da Costa watched Amara with interest as she sat there in a daze expression thinking she looked pretty cute in her business outfit. They had been formerly introduced last night when Ray and himself had stopped at Jubilee's for what ray said was 'paper work'. But instead they ended up staying for about two hours. He had talked to her and found out that she had met Wanda and the rest of the girls in college, also that she had gone out with Pietro for a month…he then dumped her for Lexa. Well not technically since he did wait two weeks after the break up to ask Lexa out…even after that she and Lexa were still good friends but tension had grown a bit between them. He had also found out that she was a bit of a spoiled brat, her parents had gone ahead and given her ton of money to travel the world after college which was the reason she hadn't been here after the others returned. Roberto didn't really mind that she was used to classy stuff…if there was one thing he loved was turn charm the woman he was with and spoil her with little gifts. He didn't know what exactly it was he wanted from her…but he did know he wanted to get close to her. Roberto was one of those guys that lived for the moment, he did what his instincts told him to do and right now they were telling him to ask Amara out…he kept watching her not noticing the door to the office had opened.
Jubilee walked in half giggling and then stopped as she saw Amara in deep thought sitting on her desk, she also noticed Roberto was standing by his doorway looking at her best friend. Ray smirked at what an idiot Roberto looked like and looked at Jubes who smiled sweetly. As he looked at her his smirked disappeared and a small smile appeared as he saw a twinkle in her eye…
"What's with all the looks?"
Everyone snapped out of their goofy expressions and looked towards the voice…Pietro Maximoff was standing behind Ray looking at him and then a Jubes. Lexa was next to him with an amused smile, behind her was Wanda looking around curiously and next to her was a redheaded man looking at her.
"JOHN?" Roberto and Ray yelled in surprise while Pietro and Lexa looked at them since they knew the Aussie. John looked away from Wanda and noticed who called his name.
"Ray, Berto…'ey what are you guys doing 'ere?"
"What are we doing here?" Ray started.
"I think you mean what are you doing here?" Roberto asked walking towards the new group.
John smirked and did a little handshake with both of them, "You know…just in the neighborhood." Before Pietro could interrupt and asked how they knew each other Lexa looked at the desk and stared in shock at what was on it.
"Amara Aquilla!" Amara looked away from the excited boys and looked at the brown haired girl that had called her name and smirked. She did a little hop off the desk and walked towards her.
"Lexa Howlett…" Amara answered and stood right in front of her, "Or should I be saying Lexa Maximoff?" she asked teasingly.
"Either will do," Lexa replied and then both girls gave each other small hugs. Amara then looked at Pietro and slyly smirked.
"Pietro…"
"Amara…long time no see."
"You could say that. So I can't believe someone actually tamed your ass," she remarked winking at Lex.
"Yeah, I guess I couldn't be a player forever," he answered seriously, she nodded.
"So have you guys picked a date?" Lexa was about to reply when Pie interrupted her.
"How bout you girls do your gossip thing in Wanda's office and show her around," he told her as he saw Wand and John both looking around the room lost since it was both times they've seen it.
"Uh…right…but don't forget we gotta go see you know who soon…"
"Yeah yeah yeah…" he told her as Lexa told her and to follow her and Jubes and Amara trailed along introducing themselves to Wanda and telling her they were friends.
They guys watched them and as soon as the door closed Pietro turned and looked at him weirdly.
"How do you guys know each other?" he asked.
"We went to the same college," Roberto answered.
"And then he introduced us," Ray told him pointing at himself and John, "but how do you guys know each other?"
"This is the guy that ran Wanda over…"
"OHHH," they both answered but not looking surprised.
Ray looked at John and said, "Damn…why didn't it is see it before when Pietro told us about this…a bus driver running people over. That is practically screaming your name psycho," he remarked.
"Oh Shut-up Ray your going to make me blush with your complements," John answered dryly rolling his eyes. "Anyway this time it really was an accident…I didn't see the Sheila."
"Sure…that's what they all say" Ray countered. Roberto shook his head at them while Pietro looked at them thinking they were nuts, and also a bit surprised that it seemed like this was John's first 'accident'. Then a realization hit him.
"Wait…this is your CRAZY friend? The one you wanted to hook up with Wanda a awhile back before she announced the engagement?"
Roberto thought for a while but then smiled, "Oh yeah…"
"Wait…that hot temperamental sheila you told me about is Wanda?" John asked.
"Yup," Roberto answered and then added, "What a coincidence…"
"Why the hell did you want my sister to get with this nut?" Pietro asked.
"Well…why not? You have him pretending to be with her…"
"I can see it," Ray spoke up, "Wanda needs someone to lighten her up and John need someone to calm him down," he commented while Roberto nodded.
"That's exactly what I was thinking when I told them about each other…" he answered, John and Pietro opened their mouths ready to respond but stopped since the door to Wanda's office opened and Lexa popped her out.
"Are you ready?" she asked.
"Oh yeah…lets go," he answered and looked back at the guys. "Well we got go, you call me on my cell phone if anything happens," he told John who nodded.
"Where are you guys going?" Roberto asked.
"To Lance's a certain Kat of his has been calling like crazy so we gotta go and tell her what's happening."
"You going to reunion tonight?" Ray asked him.
"Yeah…Lexa's making me. Are you guys?"
"I am," Ray and Roberto answered at the same time. "Is Lex going with you?"
"No, she's staying to do some of the wedding stuff since Wanda won't be able to. I think she's also gonna get Kitty to help. What about you guys…you going alone."
Before they could answer three of the girls came out of the office talking at once and at a Rapid speed. Roberto and Ray looked at them.
"I'm not sure yet…" Ray answered.
"I'm thinking of asking someone," Roberto answered after, as the girls got closer.
"Okay so make sure you keep an eye on her, and talk to her see if you can get her to remember anything and…"
"Yes mom we'll do all that," Jubilee interrupted her, while Amara moved her head from side to side getting annoyed with the directions.
"Alright I'm shutting up now…"
"Thank God," Amara mumbled but smiled sweetly while Lexa glared at her. Lexa then turned to John…
"What are you still doing here? She's in there alone you know…"
"Oh right," John answered and walked into the office closing the door behind him. Everyone watched him.
"Ok well we're leaving so later…" Pietro told them holding Lexa's hand and dragging her off. "Bye" she told them over Pietro's shoulder since he was pushing her out the door.
"Bye," Jubes and Amara answered smiling at them, after they turned to the guys and just stared at them.
"Sooo…" (Jubes)
"Mmhmm…" (Ray)
"Yeah…" (Amara)
"Ok…" (Roberto)
They stayed standing like that for a minute. "There's work to do," Ray told them all. The other Three snapped out of their dazes and answered "Right", then went off to do whatever they had to do.
OoOoOoOo Wanda's Office OoOoOoOo
John walked into the room to find Wanda sitting on a black leather chair, which he presumed, was where she usually sat.
"Ey," he told her snapping her out of the thoughtful look she had by looking at a paper in front of her. She looked up and smiled at him.
"Hey," she answered.
"You ok? They make you feel ok? Do you remember anything?" he questioned as he stood in front of the large brown desk with many office appliances on it.
"Yeah I'm fine…they were okay. Hmm I don't remember anything but they did seem very familiar…"
He nodded at her and then looked at the paper she had in her hand, it was a wedding planners ad. 'Shit' he thought to himself. Wanda looked at him and noticed what e was staring at; she blushed at the fact that she had been caught staring at it.
A small blush appeared on her cheeks, she had found that paper on her desk and it made her wonder if maybe they were thinking about marriage. She looked up at John who was staring at the paper intensely.
"Whoops…better tell Lexa she for got that," he told her quietly. Wanda's eyes widened a bit, 'Lexa and Pietro's wedding of course' she told herself. She shook her head and felt a bit stupid, why had she thought about marriage.
"Right," she answered looking away from his eyes that were looking deep into hers. John watched her; she didn't remember anything but her subconscious was giving her hints. He frowned as she looked away and started moving towards a big black leather couch, dropping on it he wonder why it was bugging him that she might remember…isn't that what was suppose to happen? She'd get her memories back and then run off and get married to this Evan guy…and then he would walk out her life without her giving him another glance. His frown deepened at the though, he didn't know why…it just did.
Wanda watched his expression thinking he looked really cute as he pouted; it made him look like a little boy who hadn't had his way. She wondered why he was making that expression for though…she hadn't seen him like that the past two days. He always seemed cheerful and full of spirit but right now it was as if he was miles away.
"You know…I may not remember much…but I'm glad you're here," she told him.
John looked up and over to her, "you are?" he asked a little surprised.
Wanda smiled and nodded, "Everyone is being really nice and I like them all but with you…I feel comfortable…at home…I feel that I have a stronger bond with you than my brother…kinda weird huh? Especially since I'm related t him," she finished with a smile.
"Very…weird," John answered looking at her weirdly, she felt that close to him…and they had barley two days ago…but he couldn't help feeling that he felt the same way. They stared at each other without saying anything…they couldn't find anything to respond with.
OoOoOoOo Somewhere Else OoOoOoOo
"Over here?"
"No…"
"Here?"
"No it doesn't get enough sunlight there…"
"HERE?" the voice asked again annoyed.
"Uhhh…a little to the left…no to the right…no no a bit more to the left…"
"KITTY!" the voice whined.
"Oh I know…but I like don't think I like it there," she whined back.
"We've been doing this for hours," the brown haired handsome guy told her while holding a painting of pink flowers.
"45 minutes hardly stands for hours Lance," Kitty told her husband as she took the painting from him.
"It is if you have to hold it up in the air all the time," he continued whining. Kitty rolled her eyes at her beloved and turned to the door of her little shop when she heard the little bell indicating people.
"Like HI!!" she greeted as soon as she saw who it was. Pietro nodded at her in greeting while Lexa shut the door with the closed sign hanging out looking at the public.
"You know I was like about to yell at you for like coming in with the close sign up," Kitty informed them.
"Then aren't we lucky we know you," Lexa replied and then looked at the painting in her arms.
"What are you guys doing?" she asked also noticing Lance had some pink paint on his face and clothes. Pietro also noticed this and smirked.
"Hey Lance pink is a great color on you, you should wear it more often." Lance growled and was about to make a reply but Kitty got to it first.
"Like leave my babe alone Pietro, were redecorating and repainting stuff. So i'm like totally glad someone has come to see me. Like why hasn't Wanda picked up any of my calls are called back."
"It's a long story," Lex answered.
"We have time," Kitty, answered giving the painting to Lance again, he frowned at it and looked back to the wall where Kitty wanted it. With a groan he got up on a little stool and started trying to put it in the perfect spot all over again.
"By the way do you guys anything to drink or stuff?" Kitty asked politely.
"No thanks," Pietro answered. Kitty nodded and looked to Lance making sure he was keeping his balance.
"So like what's the story?"
"Well to make a long story short...wandagotrunoerbyabusthatwasdrivenbyacarzyaussie and nowsheremembersshitofherweddingoranythingelsesoitoldtheguydrivingthebuswho'snameisJohntobeherboyfriendheagreed," Pietro took a deep breath, "andnowtheyareattheofficeandwandahasn'tdoneanyweddingpreperationscauseshedoesn'tknowshe'sgettingmarried...end of story."
Lance and Kitty stared at him confused...
"In English," Lance replied.
"Please," Kitty added. Pietro rolled his eyes and started all over again while Lexa's phone rang.
"Hello?...oh h..i," She looked at the people in the room and took the phone off her ear. "I'll be right back," with that she walked over to the other corner in the room. Pietro watched her curiously and then looked back to the Alvers (hehehe) and started the tale all over again in slow motion.
"Hey what's up?" Lexa asked.
"Before ah get tah why ah called why the hell haven't yah called me?" came the pissed southern voice. Lexa winced.
"So sorry my southern beauty but…things are pretty hectic around here right now."
"Yah're so lucky yah have the wedding as an excuse…"
"Ok ok bitch at me later and tell me what's the honor of our phone call…"
"Um…ah got dizzy again…"
"MARIE…Wanda and I told your ass to go to the doctor…"
"Ah know…but ah hate going tah the doctors…it's scary…and it smells…and every time I get out ah havta pee…"
"Hey so you mean I'm not the only one who has to go after…"
"Ah think it's cause of how cold it is…"
"Yeah…hey stop trying to change the subject…so what happened?"
"Nothing…was eating…felt sick…got dizzy…went to bathroom…"
"Marie you need to go to the doctor!"
"No ah don't…anyway at least ah didn't faint this time…"
"You've FAINTED!"
"Whoops…did ah forget tah mention that?" Lexa glared at her cell phone.
"Marie Lebeau…if you don't get your ass to a doctors by the end of the day I'm gonna go over there and kick your ass from there to here…"
"Am ah suppose tah be sacred?"
"MARIE!"
"D'accord d'accord…ah'll go shit…"
"You better…I'm gonna call you later just to make sure."
"Fiahne…whateva…bye…"
"Bye." Lex hung up and walked towards Pietro, she got there just in time to hear Kitty.
"OMG tell me that you're like joking?"
"Nope…"
"Wow you're one sucky ass brother you know," Lance commented shaking his head.
"Yeah yeah yeah…he's gotten that lecture about 20 times…anyway Kitty it looks like I'm going to have to finish the things that need to be done by Saturday…so…what mind telling me what that is?"
"A LOT…you like won't finish it alone so I'll help you."
"Great I think Amanda will help too."
"That's great so like where should we meet?"
"Wanda's apartment that's where all the stuff is."
"Shit we better get started," Kitty relied and dragged Lex of to the back. Pietro looked at Lance who was still trying his best with the picture, he was about to leave it where it was but…
"Nope…I think you need to move it to the right," Pietro remarked making Lance groan and hit his head on the wall on purpose.
OoOoOoOo Lensher Industries OoOoOoOo
Wanda and John where still in the places they had been before but now they were laughing while he told her some stupid jokes. She was pretty honest and told him some were corny. She had also entertained herself by asking him what were some of the pick up lines he used on her when they first met. He had grinned at her and started saying a lot, making her laugh and come to the conclusion that he had something for fire since all of them seem to mention it. Except the one…"did it hurt?" "Did what hurt?" "When you fell out of heaven," she had laughed till no end with that one and called him the corniest guy ever. They stopped ands stood quiet trying to get their breaths back, Wanda looked over to John who looked like he was right at home. He was lying on the couch looking at the ceiling with a huge smile on his face, and for some unknown reason Wanda's mind starting thinking about well…not very wholesome thoughts.
"Hey John?"
"Huh?" John said turning his face towards her.
"Have we ever…you know…" she asked for some reason nut blushing…but smirking. John looked at her surprised, this was a new side to her. Not bashful or shy but confident and daring…her true nature was coming; he realized and couldn't help but smirk back at her.
"What do you think?" he asked grinning playing with her. Wanda looked at him curiously and got up. She started walking towards him…slowly yet…sexily. John looked at her even more surprised. Was this the real Wanda? He asked himself but stopped asking himself that as he noticed how her hips swayed from side to side. She stood right in front of his lying body and he stared at her…from head to toe. She crouched down to be eye level with his blue eyes.
"I don't know what to think," she answered. They stood there staring at each other but then she stood up. "Well we've been here a while do you think it's time to take me home?"
John looked at her curiously but shook his head, "Sure why not…so did you like it here?" he asked getting up and stretching.
"It's okay…but it sorta feels…as if I'm in a cage," she mused looking around.
"Have you ever heard that poem?"
"What poem?"
"I know why the caged bird sings"
"No…tell me about it," Wanda answered and they made their way out he did. They opened the door and John was still talking until Wanda hushed him and pointed. John looked at what she was looking at and smirked. Roberto was all flirty with his new secretary.
"So Amara…you doing anything tonight?" Roberto asked. After Amara stopped giggling because of whatever he had said before she looked at him smirking.
"I don't think so why?"
"Well…there's gonna be this thing at my old school…"
"Like what…a reunion…"
"Yea…and well I was wondering if you…might want to go and stuff…" Amara smiled while Roberto fidgeted a bit. John smirked; he had NEVER seen Roberto fidget in front of a girl.
"I'd love to," she finally answered.
"Great…pick you up like at 7:30," he told her smirking.
"'Kay," she answered and then the elevator door opened to show a very happy Asian girl.
"Why are you so happy?" Amara skid Jubilee.
"No reason," she answered with a wide smile and then she looked at Roberto.
"Ray wants to know if you have those papers ready yet," she told him.
"Shit I knew I was forgetting something," Roberto mumbled and walked into his office. Jubilee rolled her eyes and then looked at John and Wanda.
"Oh hey guys…what's up?"
"Nothing…we're just leaving," John answered. They said their good byes and got on the elevator.
Wanda broke the silence and with a smile said, "You do know why she was happy don't you?"
John looked at her, "Pay day?" he asked. Wanda rolled her eyes at him.
"No stupid…that guy asked her out…"
"What guy?"
"The blond with orange bangs…Ray…"
"Oh…NO," John said surprised.
"Yea…it was obvious that they are into each other how can you not know? I mean i'm the one who doesn't remember things and yet I see it as clear as day," Wand answered looking at him as if he were stupid.
""Ey...we guys aren't that perspective when it comes to looking at their relationships..."
"Unless it's about sex..."
"Rig...what no...not all the time..."
"Yeah sure whatever LIAR," Wanda told him teasingly. John smiled at her.
"You know what…"
"What?"
"Lets just get you home kay..."
"Fine...loser..."
""ey that was un called for," he answered as the elevator door opened and they walked off arguing along the way.
OoOoOoOo Later that Night OoOoOoOo
"How do I look?" Pietro asked Lexa as he stood in black pants, white shirt and a black jacket. Lex looked at him up and down.
You look...SEXY," she answered with a smirk. "Are you gonna be wearing this when you get home?"
"Probably...why?" he asked smirking back at her.
"I'm not gonna tell you since you already know the answer," she told him and winked.
"So what time are you leaving to Wanda's?"
"Right now," she answered getting her things and making sure her cell phone was charged. She walked over to him and gave him a long kiss on the lips. "Call me if you need something and remember to mention me," she joked.
"Don't worry you'll be all I talk about," he answered smiling and watched her go. Pietro sighed, he didn't want to go to this thing but now he had no choice so he got his own cell phone and walked out the bedroom door. A couple minutes later he had parked and walked into the gymnasium.
Pietro walked in and looked around. There were people he recognized right away like Fred Dukes and Todd Tolansky, other were unfamiliar. He scanned the room once again and found what he was looking for, Roberto and Ray.
"Hey man," Roberto said as he spotted him walking towards him.
"Hey...you guys here alone?"
"Us alone?" Ray asked.
"When has that ever happened?" Roberto joked. Pietro shook his head at them and smiled.
"So if you aren't lone where all the women?"
"Hey Pietro!" Pietro turned to find Jubilee and Amara in nice elegant dresses. Pietro started at them and at the guys.
"Hello ladies," he answered charmingly while perking an eyebrow at the guys. Instead of teasing them like he wanted to he looked around and asked, "So you guys see any familiar faces?"
"Actually now that you mentioned it…" Roberto stared but stopped and looked at Pietro intensely, or it seemed he was staring at Pietro but he was really staring behind him.
"Hey Pietro," a silky voice spoke and Pietro turned to it only to meet blue eyes, blond hair and a seductive smile.
"Crystal…"
OoOoOoOo Wanda's apartment OoOoOoOo
"So where's Lance?" Amanda asked Kitty as she, Lexa, Rahne Guthrie and kitty sat in a circle making flower bouquets.
"I left him watching TV…he won't notice I'm gone until he goes to bed," Kitty answered playing with the pink flowers in her hands. "What about you guys…where are your men?"
"Kurt's distracting Wanda at the house…"
"Sam's taking care of Trey…that boy hates going to sleep at night…"
"Pietro went to a school reunion…"
"Why didn't you go with him?" Kitty asked.
"Cause I came here to help you guys," Lexa answered in a 'isn't obvious' voice.
"Actually I would have preferred if you went, Pietro was a very well known player in his time. It would be interesting to what people he knew before would think about the fact that's he's engaged," Amanda answered with a smile.
"You should like go you know…it's not to late to go show all those girls that were like totally in love with Pie that he's taken," Kitty added with a smile.
"Yeah…anyways I came just in case one of you had to leave or something," Rahne piped up as all three looked at Lex.
"No that's ok…actually Rahne maybe you should leave…I bet Sam's having a hard time with Trey…I read in a book that they baby's usually like it when the mom puts them to bed."
"I'm sure Sam's doing great...but really you should go."
"I dunno guys…"
"Go it'll be fun and a surprise…" Amanda answered.
"Well…okay thanks guys I'll make this up to you," Lexa answered and got up. 30 minutes later she was all dressed and standing in front of Bayville High.
OoOoOoOo In the gym by one of the exits OoOoOoOo
"So how have you been?" Crystal asked Pietro as she walked outside a bit and looked back to make sure he was following.
"I've been ok…you?"
"Fine…"
"So…you married…have kids?" Pietro asked finding it hard to make conversation with his high school sweet heart.
"No…actually I'm still single…" she answered and looked at him waiting for him to respond. After he didn't she walked towards him and stood right in front of him. Pietro finally said something as she got near, getting a bit nervous.
"Oh really…why wouldn't anyone go for a great girl like you?" he asked.
"It's not that they didn't go for me it's…Pietro I have a confession to make…"
"What?"
"I was really happy when I saw you arrive…"
"Really? Why?"
Crystal looked down at her shoes but then looked up at him, "Pietro…I still love you…"
Pietro stood still shocked, after a while of silence he broke the silence, "Crystal…I'm…sorry." She looked up at him confused not expecting that answer. "I'm…with someone else…"
"But…you said we were gonna be together forever…" she replied in a whisper.
"Yeah...but…" before he could finish he felt warm lips on his and his male instincts couldn't do anything but respond…
OoOoOoOo In the gym OoOoOoOo
Lexa stood in the doorway of one of the exits of the gym…she had looked for Pietro like crazy…and now she had found him…with another woman…
She had run this kind of situation in her head before and every time she went over and beat the shit out of the bitch that was up on her man. But this was real life, and she did something she never though she'd do, she turned around and started walking towards the parking way in a hurry. She bumped into someone and looked up at them.
"Lexa…what's wrong?" Roberto asked worriedly as he saw one of his best friends girl with glossy eyes, indicating tears. Lexa didn't answer she just quickly moved and kept walking toward the parking lot. Amara watched her carefully and the looked to where she had been coming from.
"Hey what was that about?" Ray asked walking over to them with jubilee who had a cup of punch in her hand.
"We're not sure," they answered and walked over to where Lexa had been before. They stopped as the saw Pietro and Crystal…still in lip lock. Pietro finally broke the kiss and looked down at Crystal not noticing their audience.
"Look Crystal…I loved you…but that was in the past. Back then I did picture you in my future…I wanted you to be here doing this with me but…I found a new future. The girl in it…isn't you…" he told he slowly.
"So that's it…you're not even gonna give us a second chance…we had something Pietro you just can't throw it away like that…"
"I'm engaged Crystal…there's nothing I can do for the future you want…"
"Lexa was here," Roberto interrupted them, Pietro turned to him and his eyes slowly widened.
"She looked upset," Amara answered glaring at Pietro.
"As if she saw something she shouldn't have…" Jubes added glaring at Crystal.
"She just left…" Ray told Pietro.
"Shit," Pietro mumbled and walked away but felt a hand on his wrist, without looking at her he got out of Crystal's grip and walked off.
OoOoOoOo Lensher Household OoOoOoOo
Pietro walked into his house and made his way towards the stairs when…
"Somebody's in trouble" came out in a singsong voice. Pietro turned to find Wanda leaning on the wall looking at him with anger in her eyes. He ignored her and walked up the stairs told his room. When he was outside of it he found a pillow and a blanket. He walked up to his door and banged on it.
"Lexa open the door."
"Go fuck yourself."
"Lexa…open the fucken door…"
"I said go away…"
"Lex let me explain…"
"No shut up and leave…I don't need your fucken explanations…I though I knew you Pie…but I guess I was wrong…"
"Lex…"
"…"
"Lexa…"
"…"
"LEXA…"
"…"
"Lex…you know I love…right?"
"…"
Pietro sighed and picked up the pillow and blanket and began walking away but then stopped and looked at the closed door. "Lex…yesterday you said you trusted me…were have all those words gone…" he didn't wait for an answer and kept walking. He went downstairs and lay on the couch. Wanda was still down there and she watched him but didn't say anything.
Eric came down and saw him on the couch. "Pietro…what are you doing here?"
"Got in a fight with Lex…"
"Okay…you do know we have a lot of other spare rooms right?"
"Yeah…but I'll stay here…just to get a feel of how it feels to sleep on the couch…"
"I agree with him…he'll probably end up doing it a lot in the future," Wanda remarked and then went upstairs to her room. Eric and Pietro watched her, she was becoming herself…at a slow process but it was happening.
OoOoOoOo X-ietro's room OoOoOoOo
Lexa dialed a number and quickly got an answer.
"Hello?"
"…Hey…"
"Lex…hey good thing yah called ah went tah the doctors and ah'm…"
"I saw Pietro kissing another women…"
"What? What happened?" Lexa told the story and she and Rogue talked a bit after.
"What are yah gonna do?"
"I don't know…"
"Do yah love him?"
"Yeah…"
"Then do what you're heart tells you to do…"
"Okay…Marie…something's happened to Wanda…"
"What?"
"She got…hit by a bus…on…Monday…"
"WHAT!" Lexa then got yelled at for about half an hour, but she luckily convinced Marie not to come until the day she said she would which was the next day. After that they hung up and Lex just sat there on the king side bed thinking…so much sit was happening. She got under the blankets and started to fall asleep…knowing a certain silver haired guy was gonna plague her mind.
