I dunt know why, this chapter gave me a bit of trouble when writing it. So sorry in advanced for it bein so short, I promise the next will be longer
Disclaimer: I own none of the characters in here, I've tried to buy them with the few pennies I have, but they laughed at me. So until then I own nothing.
"What did ya wanna talk to me about, darlin?" Logan asked Ororo. He knew that he would have to talk to her about the night before sooner or later.'Just wish I knew what to say to her. Damnit, what the hell am I suppose to say?' He cursed to himself.
"About last night," She hestiately began to say. 'Goddess, why is this so hard? Just tell him you know that it is nothing and can never be.' She thought to herself. Logan stopped her before she could continue talking.
"Listen, I'm sorry about that. Didn't know what came over me." He apologized to her. 'Your lyin' to yourself, ya know you enjoyed the kiss.' A voice in the back of Logan's head told him.
"It is quite alright." She told him as she looked down at her feet. 'Of course, you still have feelings for Jean. I should have remembered that.' She thought to herself.
'You idiot, she looks hurt because of you. Tell her you care for her!' The voice shouted in the back of his mind. Logan hesitated for a moment, unsure if he should listen or not. "Maybe later, we could-" He started to tell her, but she cut him off and headed for the door.
"It is alright, I understand you were upset last night. I promise I will never speak of it again and I am sorry I brought it up." She said to him as she opened the door and left the room.
Logan closed his eyes and fell back onto the bed. "Why the hell is this so difficult? It's like I actually have feelings for her, but I don't. She is just 'Ro." He reminded himself.
'It is more than that. When you had a thing for Jean you made it clear you did. Ororo means more than just a simple crush to you.' The voice said to him. Logan shook his head.
"I'm going nuts. I'm already talking to myself." He whispered as he got up from the bed. "Maybe a little fresh air will clear my head."
A few blocks down
Jean and Scott arrived at a small café just a block away from the hotel. They had thought of going to a nice restaurant, but decided a café would be best. The place was not filled with a bunch of people, in fact, there were only a few in the corner. They grabbed a small circular table with two chairs sitting across from one another.
Scott had been a gentleman and had gone up to get their coffee and two muffins. Jean smiled as she looked at a couple sitting a table away from her. They were holding hands and speaking in French to one another.
"Here you go." Scott said from behind her. He placed her coffee down and sat down across from her.
"This is a nice place. I'm glad we found it." She told him as she picked up her coffee and took sip from it.
"Yeah, it is." He agreed with a smile as he looked over at some of the paintings on the wall.
Jean put her coffee down on the table and started picking at the blueberry muffin. "Are you sure this is okay? What if something happens to them while we are gone?" She asked him.
Scott reached out and placed his hand over hers. "I trust they will be fine. If Magneto is around, Logan would have smelled him or one of his men by now. Right now, you're what is important to me." He told her.
Jean opened her mouth to say something, but Scott cut her off. "I lost you and I never want that to happen again. When we found you, it was like being given a second chance to make things right. I love you, Jean. I have since the day we first met and still did even when you were gone. It seems like since the incident we've been having problems connecting." He said to her.
"I feel the same way." She told him, her green eyes looking at him. "When we were in the museum I told you I felt something terrible was going to happen and it did. After you were able to find me, the feeling had left, but started coming back again." She said to him. "I don't want to go through that all over again. It was hard enough being without you that week." She felt his hand squeeze hers lightly.
"I know I failed in my promise before to protect you, but nothing will ever separate us again. I swear." He told her as he leaned across the table and rested his lips on hers. She didn't respond until a second later and kissed him back. 'Nothing will harm you again.' He vowed to himself.
At the Hotel
"I was thinking maybe we could try to restart this day before we ran into trouble." Bobby suggested to Rogue. Her green eyes looked over at him in question.
"Ah don't know, Ah'm kinda tired. Also we can't go anywhere until Jean and Scott get back. Ah think he said somethin' about callin' the Professor tonight." She told him. She could see out of the corner of her eye Remy watching the two of them. He had placed his sunglasses over his eyes and tried to act like he wasn't paying attention to their conversation.
"Well it is not fair they can go out and enjoy themselves while we are stuck here watching the French guy." He complained as he glanced over at the other man.
"For y'r information, Remy's Cajun, not French." He stated as he glared at Bobby from behind the sunglasses.
"Whatever, same thing." Bobby growled as he turned his attention back to Rogue. "Besides Wolverine and Storm are here. They can watch over while we go out." He suggested to her as he took her gloved hands in his.
"We aren't even supposed to be here. We're only here cause our plane got shot down, Bobby. We are probably gonna be leavin' tomorrow anyways. If ya want ta, ya can go out sight seein', but Ah'm stayin' here." She told him.
"There is no way I'm leaving you here with a thief." He stated as he tried to urge her to go with him. Rogue yanked her hands away from him. "Rogue, listen, I know we are going through a tough time right now. Maybe it's being out here, I don't know." He told her.
'Liar, liar.' Remy thought to himself. 'Why is it my empathy still sayin' y' hidin' somethin' from de fille?' He asked himself. He had thought about saying something, but decided this was none of his business.
"Things were better when we were at home." She whispered to herself. She still had her doubts he was telling her the truth about Kitty, but there was no way she could prove him wrong. "Maybe we could ask them if we could go out when they come back." She said to him. She didn't like the fact that their relationship was falling apart and the last thing she wanted to do was start a fight with him.
Bobby smiled at her. "Hopefully they will be back soon. We only have, I think an hour or two until Scott has to call the Professor. Ya know, we could always do what I suggested earlier: call the cops on this guy. It's not like he has any information that will help us find Magneto." Bobby mentioned.
"Why?" She asked him, tilting her head to look at him. 'Ya better not say what Ah think ya are.' She thought to herself.
"He is nothing but a worthless thief." Bobby stated to her.
'De petit seems offended by dat, and hurt, angry and sad. Wonder why? But dere ain' no way I'm gonna be called a worthless thief by some boy.' He thought to himself before he spoke. "Like y' would know anythin' about life outside of gettin' what y' want." Remy said as he leaned back in his chair.
"What are you talking about and who said you could talk?" Bobby glared at Remy.
'Hm, he gettin' a bit defensive. Wonder what I can get out of dis homme.' Remy thought to himself. "From what I've seen so far, homme, all y' do is whine when y' don' get y'r way. Meanin' y' most likely grew up with a loving family dat spoil y' rotten." He began.
"For your information, my family doesn't speak to me anymore." Bobby shot back at Remy.
"Ah, but y' have a family and grew up with dem, non?" The Cajun asked.
"Yeah, so what?" He asked annoyed.
"In other words, y' would never know what to do if y' were left by y'rself and had to survive on y'r own. Others aren't as lucky as y', gettin' to live in a warm home with people dat love y'. De only way for dem to survive is to steal." Remy told the younger man who seemed to still not understand.
"Well for those people, there are homeless shelters and stuff. If they wanted to, they could get a job instead of stealing and try to make something of themselves." Bobby stated to Remy.
"Bobby, Ah think ya should maybe go." Rogue told her boyfriend. She was turned away from him.
"Rogue, what's wrong?" He asked her. He turned his argument he was having away from the Cajun and to concentrating on Rogue. He didn't understand why she all of the sudden got upset.
"Just go." She told him again. "Please."
He hesitated for a moment. "Okay, but I'll be back in a bit." He said to her. He turned his attention back to Remy and pointed a finger at the other man. "I swear if you do anything to her, you will pay." He told the Cajun as he walked to the door and left the room.
"Y' alright?" Remy asked Rogue. She was facing away from him and her head was bowed. 'She be upset, really upset.' He thought to himself.
"I can't believe he said that." She whispered. Remy looked at her confused.
"What did he do to upset y'? If y' don' mind moi askin." He looked at Rogue confused. He didn't understand why she was upset from what Bobby had said to him. She turned around to face him, pushing her hair away from her face. Her green eyes were watery.
"After mah powers developed Ah ran away from home. Mah parents didn' seem ta mind too much." Rogue began to explain to him. 'Ah never told anyone this.' She thought to herself before continuing. "Ah had wanted ta go up ta Canada, but the driver who was goin' up there said he would only take meh if Ah paid. Ah didn't know what else ta do, so Ah kinda started ta steal from people." She told him.
Remy raised an eyebrow at her as he brought his hand to take off his sunglasses. "Wasn' expectin y' to say dat." He whispered as he sat up in the chair. His glowing red on black eyes staring at her.
"Ah never told anyone about it, not even Logan. Ah think he would get mad at meh. Ah don' know." She said to him. 'Why am Ah tellin' this ta a stranger?' She asked herself as she looked into his red on black eyes.
"So dat be why y' got mad at de homme den?" He asked her. 'Merde, I'm probably gonna regret sayin' dis next thing.' He cursed to himself. "Listen, people say stupid things when dey upset and don' really mean dat. If y' told him, I'm sure he'd apologize for it." He said to her. 'Though he deserves to get his ass kicked for it.' Remy added to himself silently.
"Ah guess, but how would he react to findin' that out? He would probably look at meh in disgust and tell everyone else what Ah did." She stated as she bowed her head. Remy sighed as he got up from the chair and went over to sit next to her.
"Chere, if dey care for y', dey wouldn' think anythin' like dat." He told her reassuringly. Rogue looked over at him and gave a small smile and nodded.
"Ah guess ya do got a-" She was cut off by a ringing noise coming from the night stand. They both turned to see Bobby's cell phone. "Looks like he found a charger." Rogue commented to herself. 'Probably called ta make sure Ah'm fine.' She thought to herself.
She picked up Bobby's cell phone and saw that a message was left. She pressed a few buttons until the message began to play.
"Hey Bobby, like, the Professor told us that you guys are stuck in Paris. That must really suck. I guess that means our date is off, huh? Well that is alright, we can always go when you get home. Though it's got to be like really difficult for you there, I mean, being with Rogue after you two broke up. Well hope you guys get home safe. Love you, Bobby." Her heart rose to her throat as the message ended.
