It's a bird... It's a plane... NO! it's the next chapter of Southern Hearts! Hellloooo my fellow romy readers!

Well seems I have lots of mopping to do, my reviewers drooled all over the place. I guess everyone loves a shirtless Remy, non? I'd like to thank my extraordinary reviewers: Chica De Los Ojos Cafe, DemonicGambit, Tammy, Lolita, Rouge14 (I was cracking up when you said Joseph should die), and MJK (yeah I'm trying to keep my story as angst free as possible). THANKS FOR REVIEWING!

Chapter 3: Of Meow Mix and Men

A few weeks later...

Remy walked into the kitchen one fine Saturday morning (ok it was around 1 pm but he just got up so it was morning for him), and he saw a sad little Kitty sitting at the kitchen counter consuming a carton of Ben & Jerry's Phish Food ice cream.

"Bonjour petite, an' what might Remy ask, did t'at ice cream ever do ta you?" questioned Remy. Seems this pussy cat ain' too happy.

Kitty looked up and glared at the Cajun, "It is none of your business what I eat thank you very much." ugh what does he want, can't he see I'm brooding?

"Meow! Someone woke up on da wrong side of da scratch post," Remy shot back. Merde pressin filles button's is just too much fun. "Why don' you let Remy make you somethin' proper, he t'inks he saw some Meow Mix somewhere aroun' here..." Kitty wants chicken, Kitty wants liver, meow mix, meow mix, please deliver.

"Har, Har, Har, sorry Gambit I'm really not in the mood for catty remarks this afternoon," Kitty said rather sadly. Please leave and let me mope around in peace.

Always the hero to a damsel in distress Remy sat down opposite Kitty and said, "Ok, Ok, Remy is sorry, why don' you tell him what is wrong? It's always good to get your problems out o' your system." now that damn meow mix jingle is in dis t'ief's head.

She sighed, I guess it couldn't hurt, "Well you see, the thing is I well," She looked down and continued, "IreallywanttomakelovetoPiotr," she blurted out then a bit slower said, "everytime we get close he stops and I don't know I'm just so frustrated." wow that felt really good to get off my chest.

"Well petite if Remy heard your mumbling right you should probably be talkin' to da Russian homme, Remy t'inks he is just probably scared an' too much o' a gentleman ta push you into a sexual relationship. Kitty-cat you might have ta be da one doin' da pushin'." wow sometimes Cajun you surprise yourself.

Looking into those oh so alluring red on black eyes of Remy she smiled, "I guess I could talk to him, I mean I never thought about initiating it. OH! I could dress up in something really sexy and..." yes I think that this kitten is about to become a lioness in the den, snapping back to reality she got up and kissed Remy on the cheek and skipped out of the kitchen most likely to make one Russian very happy. "Thanks so much Remy!" she yelled over her shoulder.

"Anytime petite, anytime," Remy replied back. awww dis t'ief is just too sweet.

"I see you finally decided to get up Remy," Storm said walking in. how on earth does that boy manage to sleep so long.

"Good morning Stormy, yes Remy decided it was about time to grace de mansion with his presence," Remy said back. Everyone wants a piece o' dis Cajun.

"Did you go out for some drinks and some ladies again last night?" questioned Ororo. that boy thinks he is God's gift to women. But how can you hate a face like his?

"Remy might of went out for some drinks but he hasn't had a femme's touch for awhile," he said nonchalantly. dere only be one femme that could satisfy dis homme's needs. Woah... since when did I become a one woman man? Dis is definitely new.

"Wow you surprise me Remy you really do, I never thought my little playboy would quit his ways. And what could possibly make you stop your women ways?" Like I don't know the answer that question.

"Well no matter what people say about Gambit, he won' be with one femme when all he can t'ink about is another different one. It isn' fair to the girl if I'm thinkin' bout someone else, sorta like a form of cheatin' an' Remy is better den t'at." Even t'iefs have t'ere morals.

Smiling from Remy's response Ororo said back, "You've only been thinking about one woman lately?" then she said with a more sarcastic tone, "And who could that possibly be?" He flirts with Rogue every chance he gets.

"Did Remy say he was t'inkin about one girl?" oops great job Remy know she is going to make you admit it.

"Don't be stupid Remy I know you better then you think and it is pretty obvious all that has been on your mind since you came here is Rogue." why must guys be so guarded with their feelings?

Rogue, Rogue, Rogue, Rogue, "Remy has no idea what you are talkin' bout Stormy, Rogue is just fun ta mess wit." Rogue, Rogue, Rogue.

"Please Remy you are smitten with Rogue everyone can see it," Storm shot back. well I think Rogue can't see it she seems blind to the whole thing.

"Is it really dat obvious dat I love da girl?" Merde did I just say love? No couldn' of been, Stormy is just puttin' words in my mouth.

"Love! I never thought I'd live to see the day my dear Remy. You should really tell her." Rogue would be an idiot to chose Joseph over Remy.

"Remy didn' mean to say love uhh he meant liked? Yes Remy likes her." Fuck! look what you did.

Remy decided that it would just best to end the conversation so he said, "Look at de time Stormy, Remy best be leavin'." must... escape... talk...

"Awww is Remy going to go find his lover?" Oh how do I love being able to tease this man. "Oh and Remy don't call me Stormy."

Remy just waved off her last comment and walked back upstairs saying, "Bye Stormy!" over his shoulder.

"Later lover-boy!"

Upstairs in Rogue's room, Betsy and Rogue where they were doing what any two best friends would be doing, talking about the men in their life.

"So sugah how is everythin' going with Angel boy?" Rogue inquired. probably perfect, they have such a good relationship. I bet she never thinks o' another man.

"Everything is just perfect! But that isn't what I want to talk about Rogue, I want to talk about your love life, luv," Betsy said back. I am determined to get her to admit her feelings for Gambit.

"Joseph is just fine. Besides the constant askin' about how mah power control is progressin' we are just fine." Yep just fine not spectacular or exciting just fine.

"Fine, well that is nice... Let's get to the real issue at hand here Rogue, when are you going to drop the old guy and spice up your life with Gambit?" it isn't that hard of a decision I mean really, old and gray or young and spicy? Might I add well experienced, chiseled, nice ass...

"Please Betsy, Gambit? Ah mean he is damn fine an' all but he is a player. The love em' and leave em' type." don't think about Remy don't think about Remy

"That is bollocks and you know it. Have you seen the way he looks at you? When you are in the room it is like the only thing he sees! And don't give me a bunch of shit about how you are just a challenge if that was the case he would of moved on a long time ago," Betsy took a deep breath. that is right Betsy is here to set you straight. Go Betsy Go Betsy

"He doesn' do that... does he? Ah just don' know Betsy, Joseph has been a great boyfrien' how can Ah can' just dump him just because some new guy came waltzin' into my life." yeah a new guy with the sexiest accent, a take-me-now body and eyes that you can get lost in.

"Rogue, you can't be with one guy when all you do is think of another. Do you really think that is fair to Joseph?"

"Well Ah guess not... But even if Ah did break up with Joseph Ah don' think Ah wanna jump into a relationship with Remy..." jump into the bed with Remy is a whole 'nother story though.

"And why not?" please if I wasn't dating Warren I would be all over that hot piece of Cajun ass.

"Because Ah still can't control my powers and Ah would be way to tempted to do somethin' with him then Ah was with Joseph." that was another reason Ah was with Joseph Ah was never really tempted to do anythin' with him. Sad ain' it?

"Well you are close to controlling them right? and please luv, don't let your powers keep you from being happy. Shit I have to go I'm meeting Warren in 30 minutes for lunch. Please think about what we talked about. And besides I am sure Mr. Lebeau could think of countless ways around that power of yours. Hell he probably already has 100 thought up."

"Yeah yeah Ah'll think about it of course. Ah'll see you later sugah." like Ah don't think of Remy enough as it is.

Betsy left, leaving Rogue all alone. Well Ah should at least break it off with Joe, it is the right thang to do. But should Ah give in to the Swamp Rat?

To be continued...
