Sorry for the long delay before this chapter. I was really busy last week. I had to practice for a horn solo and I got the second highest rating so if that lets you know how hard I had to work maybe y'all won't kill me lol. Anyway here's the next chapter.
Rogue immediately got up. She meandered down the halls before she stopped in front of Bobby's room. This time she didn't hesitate, she just walked in. The image that confronted her completely caught her off guard. Bobby was on top of what looked to be Jubilee.
"Sorry to interrupt, but where's Remy?" Rogue stood with the door wide open and her arms crossed over her chest.
"In the game room." Jubilee managed to giggle out. Rogue rolled her eyes and walked out.
"So much for him 'loving' me" she thought as she walked down the stairs. There Gambit was shuffling cards with 3 other students around his table.
"Dinner is in 45 minutes thank you." It was Storm over the speakers. For a moment Rogue leaned against the wall and watched him, his speed. Within minutes the game was over. She took this as her cue as the boys stood up to leave. She took the seat nearest Remy.
"Hey." Was all she managed to say after she sat down.
"Bonjour." Remy made a gesture like he was tipping his hat at her.
"Um, I guess I could've asked you to prom in a better way, but I was not in the right state of mind yesterday." She said looking down at her gloved hands.
"Remy'd hav'da gree." He smiled at her. "But, Remy'd also loveda go wit une belle fille such as you. Whatever dis prom is." He said.
"Well its next weekend so you better get a tux sugah." Rogue grabbed the deck of cards that lay on the table and shuffled them.
"Poker?" Remy asked. Rogue smiled wide.
"No cheating, I know what you do." Rogue winked and dealt each of them five cards. Rogue smiled, she knew she'd win.
"Since we're not playing for any money, let's put a stipulation on dis." Remy winked back. Rogue stomach sank. "He can't have a better hand than me, can he?" she asked herself. She had two pairs, one pair was kings and the other pair was the queens. And she also had a high ace. She called the wild card as 9, so maybe Remy had three of a kind and a pair of aces. Nonetheless she decided to give it a try.
"Okay, what are the stipulations?" She caved in and asked.
"Loser has to wear a sign on deir back saying 'douche bag' for de rest of de day, including dinner." Remy lifted his eyebrow at her.
"Fine, let's shake on it." She held out her hand and he took it, kissing the silken glove. Rogue blushed. Rogue lied her cards down, and then Remy put his down.
"Three aces, two kings." She whispered. Of course he'd win. He was the god of poker.
"Je suis desole mon cherie." Remy said writing on the back of a piece of note book paper and began to stick it on her back.
"WAIT! I'll make a deal with you, if I kiss you without hurting you; I don't have to wear that stupid sign." Remy's eyes grew wide.
"Deal." He leaned in and puckered his lips. Rogue Leaned in and gave him a short peck on the cheek.
"See you at dinner." Rogue got up and made her way towards the cafeteria. She wasn't even watching where she was going when she literally ran into Wolverine.
"Hey watch it bub!" She heard him grunt as she rubbed her head that ran into his metal chest.
"Sorry." Rogue now had an excruciating headache.
"Didn't mean to yell at ya kid, it's been a frustrating day." Logan wrapped his arms around Marie.
"It's okay; I just need some aspirin now." She giggled.
"So, ready for that talk?" Logan asked keeping a firm grip on her shoulders.
"Yeah, what you wanna know?" She said, plopping down on the floor and pulling Logan down with her.
"What made you decide on Remy?" Logan went straight to the point. Marie took a deep breath.
"You really wanna know?" She inquired while wrapping her fingers around his. Remy had made his way in her direction but decided to stay hidden when he heard mention of his name.
"Yeah, shock me with the truth." Logan said slightly tightening his grip on her hand.
"I connect with Remy, I feel like there's something there, like we're meant to be." She said looking at the floor. Her brown eyes glistened for a minute before Marie once again turned into Rogue, and her eyes were dark and hard.
"This discussion never took place." She said before winking and continuing on her path to the cafeteria.
"Wow, dat woman will be de death of all of us." Remy walked out into the hall. Logan smiled. He'd known Remy had been there.
"You don't know the half of it buddy." Logan said before leaving a confused Remy in the hall.
