Chapter 2: The night in the CabinGambit went to the fridge and pulled out a bottle of Australian Wine. He set it on the coffee table in front of the couch that Amber sat on. He then went to the cupboard and pulled out two wineglasses and went back to the couch. He sat down next to Amber and set both wineglasses down in front of them.
"Do you want some?" He asked trying to take out the cork.
"Never drank anything before…" Amber smiled and took shadow and formed it into a corkscrew.
She stuck it in the cork and pulled it out. Gambit took the cork from her and placed it next to the wine bottle.
"Well, today's your lucky day. You're 19 right?"
"Yeah…"
"Good. This stuff is great. You'll like it."
Gambit took the wine bottle and poured a half a cup in both glasses. He picked up both glass cups and handed one to Amber. Amber took the wineglass and smiled.
"Toast…" Gambit, said holding his wineglass up in the air.
"To what?" Amber asked copying him.
"To you and me…"
"Ok."
Amber and Gambit hit their glasses together and took a sip. Amber coughed on the wine.
"That's strong…"
Gambit patted Amber on her back trying to get her to stop coughing, "You'll get used to it. I promise."
Amber smiled at the red and black eyed man next to her; "It's good though…"
Gambit smiled back causing Amber to blush slightly. When Amber realized this she turned so that her back was facing Gambit. This only made Gambit smile even wider. He wrapped his hands around Amber's waist and rested his head on her shoulder.
"It's ok…" Gambit whispered.
Amber felt moist lips touch the side of her cheek. Her face only became a brighter red after he kissed her.
"Mon chere…" Gambit whispered again.
"What?"
"Are you ok?" He asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine…"
"Good. Come on let's go"
Gambit stood up and grabbed Amber by her wrist. When he pulled her to her feet she ended up landing on his chest. When Amber realized what had happened Gambit held her in an embrace.
"It's getting late," Amber said trying to escape from Gambit's hug.
"That's ok. We can stay the night here."
Gambit let go of Amber and led her to one of the rooms near the back of the cabin. He opened the door revealing a small room with a bed and a dresser. Amber looked up at Gambit.
"You're sleeping on the floor then."
"How about this…"
Gambit went over to the bed and sat down. He motioned for her to come sit next to him. Amber stared at him confused, but did as he said. If he did anything she would hit him so hard he wouldn't wake up until morning.
Amber sat down and stared into Gambit's eyes trying to find out what he was thinking. Gambit smiled and pushed Amber down on the bed. He put her hands over her head, then laid on top of her.
Amber tried to use her powers on him, but she couldn't find any shadow to use. Amber stared up at Gambit fear in her eyes. Gambit noticed this and sighed. He then rolled off of her. Amber sat up and stared at him still scared.
"I'm sorry Mon chere. I didn't mean to scare you like that."
"It's ok I guess"
"You're not going to runaway?" Gambit asked as if he was expecting her to.
"No, why would I? I mean you did stop…"
"Because that's what most girls do."
"You're a whore aren't you?"
"No…"
"Yes you are…"
"Fine I am, but you can't blame a guy for loving girls."
"Whatever…" Amber said almost annoyed.
Amber rested on her side and made sure her back was to Gambit. She doesn't no what he would do if she was facing him. Gambit smiled and laid behind her. He wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her closer to him.
Amber shot up and stared at him, "What are you doing?"
"Nothing. I was just…"
"Whore…"
"Would you stop saying that?"
"Why? It's fun because you get so worked up about it."
"That's not right…"
"I know."
Gambit smiled an evil smile as he stared at Amber. He sat up and pushed her down on the bed but this time he started tickling her sides. Amber laughed helplessly as she tried to escape Gambit's grip.
When Gambit finally stopped tickling the shadow manipulator and she had stopped laughing, they stared at eachother wondering what the other would do next. Amber let out a yawn.
"Tired?"
"Yeah, I am."
"Ok, lets go to bed then."
Amber rolled on her side and closed her eyes. She yawned one last time before she drifted into sleep. Gambit wasn't tired so he just laid next to her with his arm wrapped around her waist. When Gambit finally fell asleep, there was a loud bang on the front door of the cabin.
Gambit opened his eyes sleepily before he got up and answered the door.
"Hello?" He asked, peeking his head out.
"What makes me think that you have Amber in there?" Lloyd asked as he pushed Gambit away from the door and walked inside.
"Because she is?"
Lloyd brushed past Gambit and towards the bedroom in the back. When he opened the door he found Amber sleeping with her clothes still on.
'Man, I thought he really went over the limit. That's good.'
Lloyd walked up to the sleeping Amber and tapped her on her shoulder. Amber opened her eyes and stared at Lloyd wondering how long he's been there.
"Come on. I'm taking you back to the mansion."
"But…"
"No buts you're coming. Breath really fast."
"What for?" Amber asked.
"Just do it."
Amber breathed out at Lloyd. He sniffed it and knew she had been drinking.
"that fucking bastard." Was his only reply
When the two of them came out of the room Lloyd gave a warning glare at Gambit.
"She's still new here, and she's underage." Lloyd whispered as they past the red and black eyed man.
"I know, but we weren't going to do anything."
"Why do I find that hard to believe?"
Gambit sighed and sat on the couch in the living room. Lloyd shut the door behind him and Amber.
"Why did he have to do that?" Gambit asked talking to himself.
Meanwhile Lloyd walked with Amber back to the Institute. When they made it to the pool area Lloyd stopped. Amber stopped, turned around, and stared at him confused.
"Look. Me and Gambit are good friends, but there are some things you need to know about him."
"Like what?"
"Well…actually why don't you talk to Rogue? She used to go out with him. She can tell you anything you need to know about him."
"Has he done something bad?"
"I'm not going to say a thing. He's a friend and I really don't want to talk about him behind his back. But I can tell you to be careful. You may get your feelings hurt."
With that said Lloyd left Amber alone confused and puzzled wondering what he meant. When she finally got out of her thinking state she ran towards Lloyd to catch up.
"Where can I find Rogue?"
"She should be in the kitchen around this time."
"Ok, thanks."
Amber ran past Lloyd and into the Institute. She ran past a few people before stopping at the doorway to see Rogue drinking a soda.
"Rogue?" Amber asked.
"Oh, hi Amber. What do you want?"
"Lloyd told me that you could tell me about Gambit."
"Lloyd told you?"
"Yeah. He said you went out with him."
"I did. So what do you want to know?"
"Whatever you want to tell about him."
"Well, he's a big flirt. If you go out with him always expect him to flirt with someone else. If he kisses you he thinks you'll sleep with him. When we were going out he left for over a year. That's why I broke up with him."
"Does he always do that?"
"Yeah. It's Gambit. He won't ever change."
"I guess that's what Lloyd meant when he said to expect my feelings to be hurt."
"He told you that?"
"Yeah."
"It's a good thing. It's true too. I got my feelings hurt."
"Is that why you broke up with him?"
"Yeah. When he left I just couldn't handle it. He left and didn't tell me where he was going, and when he came back he acted like he never left. I couldn't take it anymore."
"Is that why you're with Lloyd now?"
Rogue's eyes widened at this question, "Why would you say that?"
"Well, what you said earlier. You have Lloyd now…"
"Oh, that. I said that to see how Gambit would react."
Amber sighed, "Gambit is a nice guy though. Lloyd…Lloyd is like a brother I never had. He's really nice and protective."
"Really. Do you have any family?"
"I do. My parents…they were never really there for me. They didn't like me because of my eyes. I was born with black eyes, and they couldn't handle that."
"Oh, I'm sorry. You don't have to worry about that now. Everyone here is like family. They treat you like you were their sister."
"I hope."
"I think I'm going to go to bed now. I'll see you in the morning during breakfast."
"Ok. Thanks for the advise and stuff."
"You're welcome. Oh yeah. Breakfast is around 10:00 in the dinning room. If you're late you might not get any food."
"Ten? I don't wake up until around twelve."
"If I don't see you there, I'll ask Lloyd to snag you some food for when you do."
"Ok, thanks."
Rogue left the room and headed up the stairs. Amber sat in the empty kitchen wondering what she could do now. She looked around hearing footsteps coming her way. As fun as this place was it was really scary at night, but she would get used to it.
"Your still awake?"
"I hope I'm awake."
Lloyd walked into the kitchen, "Did you talk to Rogue?"
"Yeah. She told me everything."
"So now you know."
"Yep, but there's still something about him that I can't quite put my finger on. Something that nobody knows about him."
"Really now?"
"Yeah."
"Come on. You better go to bed before Logan comes this way."
"Why?"
"Do you really want to find out?"
"No."
Lloyd led Amber up the stairs and to her room. He opened the door and turned on the light for her. He waited for her to lay down and cover up in her bed before he turned off the light.
"Night. See you at breakfast."
"Night…"
Lloyd then shut the door and left for his own room. How many more people were they going to get here? They don't have anymore rooms that he knows of.
Lloyd walked sleepily to his room. Tomorrow he would go to the club, and stay out all night long. And somehow he will figure out a way to tell Rogue how he truly feels for her.
'I wonder if Amber goes to clubs…no I seriously doubt that. The way she dresses they wouldn't let her in.' Lloyd as he landed on his bed.
(Time Jump-the next day- morning time)
An alarm clock sounded close to Amber's head. She woke up sleepily.
"What the hell?" She said hitting the button on the alarm clock, "Where did this come from?"
'Breakfast is almost ready if you want to come down and eat with everyone.' The professor said telepathically.
'One second. Let me get dressed.' Amber thought.
'Take your time. There's no need to rush.'
'Ok…'
Amber opened the drawers on the dresser near her door. She pulled out a black netted shirt with red sleeves. She pulled out another black shirt that she wears under her netted shirt. On her shirt in red with white surrounding it. It said 'SPOILED' in big letters. She then pulled out black pants with two red stripes on the outer part of the legs. Amber quickly put on her outfit then walked downstairs to the kitchen. When she entered the dinning room everyone stopped doing what they were doing and stared at her.
"Everyone. This is Amber Muun. She just got here yesterday so I expect all of you to make her feel at home. Amber your seat is next to Lloyd."
"Um…ok…"
"Hey. Did you have a nice sleep?"
"Yeah. The bed was really comfy."
Lloyd handed Amber a plate, "Take what you'll eat."
"Ok." She took the plate from Lloyd and grabbed a couple pieces of bacon and one slice of buttered toast, "Thanks for all of your help. I appreciate it."
"Anything for a new student here. If you ever need anything or if you need help finding something just ask me, Hank, Logan, Raine, or Rogue. One of us will help you."
"Ok, I'll keep that in thought."
When Amber finished her food Lloyd took her plate. He brought it to the sink and rinsed it out.
"You didn't have to do that."
"I know, but you're new here."
"So. That doesn't mean anything."
"Yes it does."
"Fine it does, but you still didn't have to."
"Hey, Raine and I are going to the club tonight. Do you want to come?"
"The…club…um…well…I…"
"Come on. It'll be fun."
"Ok…I'll go…"
"I want to go too." Kurt said.
"Ok, fine. Anything to shut you up."
