A/N: Sorry for the slow update! I went away over half term and when I got back the site had changed! (And writers block didn't help) So sorry once again and I will try to be quicker in the future.
Disclaimer: None of these people are mine! I don't even own the coffeehouse, ok?
Chapter 4-Reactions.
Mary Jane looked up as her aunt entered the room. She looked positively livid.
"Aunt Anna?"
"You have no idea what I just saw." She growled through clenched teeth. "Your husband… your vile, good-for nothing husband, was in a coffeehouse with another woman!"
M.J closed her eyes. She wanted to trust Peter, but after what she'd seen last night…
"Are you sure they weren't just friends having a drink?"
"If you'd heard what they were saying to each other you'd wouldn't say that."
"L-Like what?" She stammered. Her aunt's eyes narrowed maliciously.
"They held hands and…" She stopped. She didn't want to hurt Mary Jane too much; the poor girl had been though enough. She decided to tell her just enough to make her confront Peter, then she could see for herself. "And Peter's floozy talked about you. She obviously knew you."
M. J's eyes widened. She was beginning to suspect who Peter's 'floozy' was.
"Did they mention anything to do with last night?" She questioned.
"Yes. Definitely. And do you know who she was? Felicia Hardy! That girl you knew from high school.
Didn't she use to have cats?" Mary Jane nodded. Cats, last night, hands… She got her coat and ran out of the door. Peter Parker had a lot of explaining to do.
Amanda looked up as her mom entered the room. She looked angry and concerned.
"Mom?"
"You don't know what I just saw." She snarled, glaring at no one in particular. "That boy… that stupid, vile mutant boy was sat in K.F.C with another girl!" Amanda sighed.
"It was probably him and one of his friends from the institute."
"I don't think she was just a friend."
"Why do you think that?" Finola's eyes narrowed in anger.
"She kissed him!" Amanda's eyes widened. She already had a pretty good idea of whom this mystery girl was and she had no idea she would do something like that. Amanda was almost impressed.
"Did they say anything to do with 'last night'?" She questioned.
"Yes. And do you know which one of those- those freaks it was? Katherine Pryde- the one they all call Kitty?" Amanda nodded. So she was right. Well, even though she didn't necessarily like Kurt all that much, he was hers. She got her coat and ran out of the door. Someone had a lot of explaining to do.
Peter and Felicia walked back to Peter's house in low spirits.
"I'm sure she was listening." Felicia said quietly. "You could tell by her shocked expression and the way she suddenly stormed out." Peter groaned.
"Now M. J.'ll think there's something going on between us. She was already suspicious enough this morning."
"I wish. But you're too honourable; Mary Jane should know that." Felicia replied as they turned the corner. "Just so you know, had positions been reversed, I wouldn't be as…"
She stopped when they opened the door to see Mary Jane waiting for them. The redhead stared at Felicia.
"You!" She shouted angrily. "What the hell are you doing with my husband!"
"Mary Jane," Peter began.
"What? Let me guess: You can explain everything."
"Yes I can. I was on my way home from the Bugle when I ran into Felicia, who invited me for a drink. Simple." Mary Jane shook her head.
"No Peter it's not simple. Aunt Anna saw you two. Explain to me why you were holding hands!" Peter looked at Felicia, who nodded.
"M.J, Felicia Hardy is also Black Cat, my closest mutant friend. I was really worried about her last night- people worry about their friends! I swear whatever your aunt saw was platonic."
He studied his wife's face carefully. She appeared to be considering what he had just said.
"Oh, Peter!" She cried suddenly, flinging her arms around him. "I'm so sorry, I promise never to doubt you again!" Peter smiled down at her, then heard the door slam. He turned. Cat had gone.
Kurt and Kitty walked back to the institute in high spirits.
"She was listening!" Kitty exclaimed. "You could totally tell. The way her eyebrows went up and way she stormed out!" She performed her impression of Amanda's mother for the millionth time and Kurt nearly collapsed from laughing.
"Stop it Katzechen!" He begged her. "You vill…" He stopped as they opened the doors to find Amanda waiting for them. She stared at Kitty.
"You!" She shrieked. "What the hell do you think you're doing with MY Kurt?" Kitty looked stunned.
"Amanda," Kurt began.
"What? No, Let me guess: You can explain everything!"
"Ja, Amanda I can. I came back from school und Kitty asked if I vanted to go for eine trinke. Zimple."
"No Kurt, it's not simple. My mom saw you two. You kissed!" Kitty finally found her tongue.
"It was just, like, a peck on the cheek."
"It was?"
"Ja, it did not mean anysing." Kurt told her. "Kitty ist miene best friend, zhat's all." He studied his girlfriend's face carefully. She seemed to be considering what he had just said.
"Oh Kurt!" She cried suddenly, flinging her arms round his neck. "I'm so sorry, I know she's your best friend, and I'll never doubt you again."
Kurt smiled at her, and then heard the door to the library slam. He turned. Kitty had gone.
A/N: Thanks to everyone who reviewed! And Bubba Hyde, I checked over my work this time, but could you tell me what I spelt wrong last time, so I can correct it?
P.S : If you enjoyed this, please check out Randomised by Signo the hedgehog because I started it all off and she co-wrote it. It's the result of trying to write Fixing Mistakes when you have writers block and a hyper friend round. Supposedly takes place in the middle of the last chapter.
PPS: Does no- one know who Stix89 is?
