Chapter 5
Just Have Faith
"You can open yo eyes now chere." Rogue slowly opened her eyes and looked around. A beautiful green park surrounded her on all sides. Remy smiled and got off the bike. "You know chere; you'd tink after two weeks you'd get use to my bike." "Ah'm use to ya bike swamp rat," Rogue answered. "I'm just not use to ya drivin." Remy laughed and held out his right hand. "Shall we mon chere?" Rogue smiled and put her hand in his. "Let's." Remy helped her off of the bike. "So, where shall picnic today my lady," Remy asked surveying the park. Rogue smiled. "Pincic? What picnic," she asked. "We didn't bring any picnic basket." Remy just smiled at her. "Have faith chere." Rogue crossed her arms at looked at him. "Alright swamp rat, what in the world is going on." "I'll show you if you put on dis blindfold." He pulled the blindfold out of his pocket. Rogue looked at him suspiciously. "Now why would Ah go and do something like that," she asked. "Because you want ta see Remy's surprise." Rogue considered it for a minute. "Ah...don't think so," she said thoughtfully. "I mean Ah put on this blindfold and next thing I know Ah'm walkin straight off a cliff!" Remy rolled his eyes. "Come on chere," he whined. "Pretty please?" He gave her a sad puppy face. Rogue smiled inwardly. "Alright, alright, since ya begged me and all." She took the blindfold and put it over her eyes. Remy moved behind her to tie it. Rogue suddenly felt apprehensive. She could feel his warm breath on the back of her neck, and she could feel his hands brush her hair as he tied a loose knot. But most of all, she could feel the warmth from his body. It unsettled her. "All down chere," Remy announced. He took her hand gently. "Dis way chere." Rogue let Remy lead her by then hand. A few times she stumbled on a rock or a branch. But then second she started to fall, Remy would catch her in his strong arms and set upright again. Finally, Remy stopped walking. "We is here chere," he said excitedly. "Good," Rogue snapped. "Ah'm sick of this blind fold. Ah can't wait to get it.off." She had snatched the blind fold off, and before her was a picnic table covered with a small banquet. A big balloon was tied to one of the soda bottles and it read "Happy Birthday Rogue," on it. Before she could think to stop herself, she started to laugh and threw herself into Remy's arms. "Ah can't believe you remembered mah birthday," she squealed. Remy stood there in shock. He hadn't exactly expected her to act like this. He had expected something more on the line of begging her to eat it for thirty minutes before she warily agreed to eat with him. Furthermore, Rogue wasn't exactly the one to give hugs, especially to him. After a few more minutes, Rogue removed herself from Remy, and composed herself. "Um, thank you," she said quietly, looking down at her shoes. "You're welcome chere," Remy replied. They smiled at each other. "Shall we eat," Remy asked. Rogue nodded and they both sat down. "So, what's on the menu," Rogue asked. "Wat ever yo heart desires chere." Rogue rolled her eyes "Dang! Is that fried chicken?!" Rogue reached across the table and pulled the big bowl of it over. "And gumbo," she squealed. Remy smiled. "And mashed potatoes wit white gravy, and fried okra, and biscuits like grandma use ta make. And get dis. For dessert we is gonna have Remy's Famous Apple Pie wit whipped cream!" Rogue looked greedily at the food. "Ah think I'll have a little bit of everything," she said. Remy smirked. "Are you sho yo eyes aren't too big for yo stomach, chere?" "Don't test me Swamp rat," Rogue threatened. "Ah will kill for fried chicken." Remy smirked again. "Ah chere, you would kill Remy after he went through all de trouble of makin dis here food for ya?" Rogue shrugged. "It wouldn't mean I wasn't grateful." "Well as long as you is grateful chere," Remy said laughing. Rogue smiled. "Eat now. Laugh later," she ordered. "Yes ma'am," Remy said, and began passing out the food. Awhile later, Rogue sighed contently. "Now that was good," she said. "Who knew you could cook, Cajun?" Remy smirked. "At least one of us can chere." Rogue smirked back. "Ah can to cook Cajun. Besides, its mah birthday so you have ta be nice ta me." Remy smiled. "Ok den chere. Present time!" Rogue smiled. "Ya got me a present to?" Remy nodded and handed her a small gift box. Rogue eyed it suspiciously; then opened it. A silver necklace lay neatly inside. Rogue slowly pulled it out. Hanging on the beautiful chain was half of a sliver heart. Rogue smiled. "Thank ya Remy it's." "There's more to this gift chere," Remy interrupted. He took the necklace gently from Rogue's hand. Then he pointed to its charm. "Dis half heart here represents Remy's heart. Wit out you; it's not whole. But Remy has faith chere. Remy hopes dat one day Remy will, have you. Den Remy's heart will be whole again." He held out his free hand. The second half to the charm lay there in his palm. Remy looked Rogue in the eye. "If I ever does win yo heart, I hope dat you will add dis second piece to de necklace." Rogue swallowed. She took the second piece from his hand and carefully placed it in the box. Her eyes stung as she fought to hold back the tears that wanted to flow. "Remy," she began. "Ah can never touch. Ah can't be with y." "Shh," Remy interrupted. "Have faith chere. You got ta have faith." Despite the fact that her instincts were yelling at her not to; Rogue began to cry. "Shh," he comforted her, taking her into his arms. "Just have faith." Despite his encouraging words, Remy could feel his heart breaking. He knew as long as Rogue couldn't touch that she would never let him near her. In his heart he prayed that the God above him would make a way some how. He could only hope that he heard him. "Have faith," he whispered to Rogue. "Just have faith.."
