Chapter 5:

Jean and Scott opened the door to the mansion quietly. They didn't want to draw attention towards themselves, especially when they were both soaking wet. Scott peaked in and motioned to Jean that the coast was clear. They took off their wet shoes at the door and then tip toed across the carpet, hand in hand.

"Welcome back to earth," a voice said out of nowhere.

Jean and Scott both gasped and spun around, seeing Logan standing there, looking annoyed. They stopped and smiled at him

"All the students have already hit the sack," Logan said rather loudly. "And I'm hoping you two will... alone."

Scott raised his eye brows questionably from under his shades. Jean looked surprised and uttered out: "What do you mean by that?"

Logan snickered and turned away. "You know exactly what I'm talking about... G'night."

Jean giggled as they continued their journey upstairs. Scott was blushing as she looked at him. "Are we that obvious?"

"I guess so," Scott squeezed her hand and he stopped outside their doors. He touched her face and brushed the wet hair away from her eyes. She smiled.

"I had a really good time with you, Scott," Jean said almost bashfully. Even though she would see him again in the morning, Jean didn't want Scott to leave. She really did have strong feelings for him; they would over power her feelings for everyone else she knew. And know Jean knew that he felt the same way.

"I'm glad you did," Scott said, letting his fingers travel through her hair. He moved them so they were positioned behind her neck, and he pulled her close for another kiss. Their lips met without any hesitation, and soon they were kissing as if they were to never see each other again. Passion rose quickly, but Jean decided to stop it before it went too far. She pulled away gently and rested her forehead on his.

"I love you," Scott said, staring into her eyes. "I always have, and I always will."

Jean sighed and kissed his cheek affectionately. "I have always loved you to Scott, it's just I was afraid. I was afraid it might break our friendship..."

"I'll make sure that it never will, Jean" Scott lulled as he kissed her gently on the lips. He hugged her and they remained silent. Scott realized that this woman was the only thing he wanted in the world, and now he had her. He was going to do everything in his power to keep her safe and in his arms. He loved her so much, it was unexplainable.

Jean opened her eyes and adjusted them to the sunlight pouring through the window. She turned over lazily and looked at the alarm clock that read 8:45 am. Memories from the night before played back in her mind and she smiled; eager to see Scott again. She had the most wonderful time last night, and she hoped none of the other students knew of their date. They probably did, though, knowing them...

Jean put on her fuzzy slippers and left the room, going down for a quick breakfast. She wasn't quite awake yet, so she stumbled clumsily down the steps.

Scott was already up and in the kitchen. He never really slept in as much as the other students did. Plus, he was still on cloud nine from his date last night, so he was hardly sleeping at all. His heart literally jumped into his throat when Jean entered the kitchen. She was still in her Pajamas, and she looked half asleep, but she was still beautiful none the less.

"Hello, beautiful," he said as she sat down beside him. She smiled at him and snuggled against him. "How are you feeling this morning?"

"Really good." She murmured quietly.

Before Scott could reply, they both paused as they could hear rumbling upstairs.

"Uh oh," Scott said, "Here comes everyone."

BAMF! Kurt appeared with Bobby in a cloud of blue smoke.

Jean sat up straight, pulling herself away from Scott. Too late, they were seen.

"Whoa, did I just see you guys snuggling?!" Booby sneered.

Jean rolled her eyes and stood up. She didn't want to be bombarded with questions so early in the morning. "None of you business, Bobby" she said, leaving the room.

Scott just then received a telekinetic message from Jean: 'Are you coming, lover boy?'
'Yes I am,' Scott sent back and followed her out the kitchen; leaving the two young boys to their own thoughts.

They went into the library and sat down on the couch. No one usually went there, except for Jean. She loved the library; she could sit there for hours and read endlessly. She had almost read every book in the library over her time that she lived at the mansion.

"I had a great time last night," said Scott after a moment of silence. He draped his arm around Jean and pulled her close. "I love you," he whispered.

"I'm going to call Duncan up and break up with him," Jean said, looking up at him. "I should have done that a long time ago, but last night you opened my eyes to the truth."

"What was that truth?" Scott asked. He already knew the answer, but he wanted to hear her say it. He leaned down so his face was close to hers.

"That I love you, and there was no denying it," Jean smiled and Scott kissed her on the lips gently. They heard a crash outside the library door, and they both snapped their heads up on instinct.

"We need to get out and have some private time," Scott sighed looked back at Jean. "Let's go for a walk after breakfast, shall we?"

"We could do that, but its looks cold out..."

Scott stopped her and said: "We should be enjoying the weather while it's still warm. Winter's coming, you know."

"Alright," how could she resist a walk with Scott? She never has.

It suddenly occurred to Jean that she had to think of a way to dump him. She couldn't tell him that she was dating Scott, or else Duncan would hunt Scott down with his friends. Jean knew that Duncan wouldn't give her up without a fight, his status at school depended on it.

Jean went up stairs to change before their walk and told herself that she would break up with Duncan over the phone, so no one would know and she could hang up on him when he started yelling.

Jean was in love, and there was nothing in the world that could separate her from the one she loved; not the students, not Logan, and definitely not Duncan.
