Thank you for the reviews! They were so… I don't think there's a word to describe how nice they were! This is a love chapter that I've been nagged about writing from one of y reviewers, and whoever else enjoys love scenes between Jean and Scott. I liked writing this chapter, I imagined I was Jean at some points because I'm so deeply in love with Scott! I want to marry him too… (sob, sob). I love you James Marsden! (but I love the cartoon Scott more because he's closer to my age. He's eighteen, I'm seventeen. Oh so close. I love you Scotty!) ENJOY!
Chapter 7
The institute, the entirety of it, was completely empty, save for two. Two had stayed behind to "hold down the fort" while all the others had gone on a field trip, including the professor. So the two had the a weekend all to themselves (A/N: three guesses who…)…
Water ran from the spigot in a steady rush, steam rising and misting the mirrors. The lights were turned down low, and several candles flickered giving off scents of vanilla, jasmine, and mint. Quiet music played in the background off in the bedroom, added a little something extra to the atmosphere that hung heavily in the air. Jean sat on the counter in her normal under attire, a clear strap tank top and blue, green, and white vertically striped sleep shorts. She was barefoot with her hair down. Her hands rested on Scott's hips where he stood in front of her dressed in a button down shirt and jeans.
"You're sure about this?" he asked stroking her cheek. Jean nodded and leaned in to kiss him. They took their time removing each other's clothes then Scott shut the water off in the tub and they got in. He closed the curtain and pulled Jean against him. She rested between his knees with his arms about her waist holding her to him. She leaned her head back and kissed him again.
This is nice, she thought, just relaxing in a tub. Scott picked up a washcloth and rubbed some soapsuds into it then began washing Jean's shoulders. She closed her eyes and let herself revel in the peace that succumbed her body. When he had finished, she turned herself around so that she faced him and straddled his hips.
Scott wrapped his arms around her and turned them both around so that Jean now lay on the bottom. She stared up at him, her eyes glassy. Scott lowered himself slowly. Their bodies joined in a single moment of ecstasy. Jean let her arm drape across Scott's back pull him down more, his body molding into hers.
It took them a minute or two to synchronize, and then they followed through to the end. Afterward, Scott scooped Jean up from the tub and wrapped them both up in a large fluffy towel. They made their way to his bed, Jean turning the music off. They lay on his bed together, wrapped in the towel and thick blanket, toying with each other's hair and kissing tenderly.
"Interesting…" Jean whispered.
"Very…" Scott responded. They fell asleep quickly, wrapped up in each other's arms.
The rest of their weekend was spent walking hand in hand around the institute and discussing their futures. They came to a conclusion that they would have to announce to everyone, if they wanted to follow through with their original plans. So when everyone returned, they announced it.
"As you all know…" Jean began; she stopped and waited for everyone to quiet themselves.
"Hey, be quiet!" Logan shouted. Everyone was quiet. He looked back to where Jean and Scott were standing at the front of the foyer.
"As you all know, Scott and I are getting married next week." There was a loud cheer from everyone. "And we have decided…" Jean began shouting over everyone. "We have decided that after high school, we're going to be leaving…" She let her sentence fade out.
"Any responses?" Scott asked after a few minutes of silence and of staring into blank faces.
"How long will you be gone?" Kitty piped up. "I'll miss you both."
"Thank you, Kitty. We'll only be gone through college, and if we like living on our own, maybe we'll be gone indefinitely." Scott said. They were a few short gasps and whispers around the foyer.
"But that's not fair." Jaime whined. "How can you two just leave?"
"We decided this weekend, with much consideration, that we would like to be on our own for a while to see how it works out. You can visit us, but not right away." Scott added the last part quickly.
"We need to get established first." Jean added. They stood waiting for more responses, they never came. Only Logan, Hank, Ororo, and Xavier weren't in shock.
A/N: short sweet and to the point… review please!
