A few of the younger students were in the kitchen tidying up and cleaning up the place.
"I wonder how big he is?" Tabitha asked and was responded with a mixture of disgusted comments. "Hey come on, I can dream can't I?"
"I wonder what they've actually done?" Bobby asked. "Scott doesn't strike me the type to do the dirty."
"This is sick guys. We are discussing their private life they have with each other." Rogue said. "Just leave it alone okay."
"Now Scott, Jean." Ororo started. "I know you have been going out for many months now and what you did last night was not wrong." Scott and Jean looked at each other confused.
"Then why did you want to speak to us?" Jean asked.
"I'm talking about safety." Ororo said. "I know you used protection." She said remembering the condom attached to Scott's jeans. Scott blushed slightly and looked away. "But I just want you to remember that condoms aren't always effective."
"We know that," Jean said and held Scott's hand. "We were actually discussing it last night and I'm making an appointment to go on the pill."
"Well, I'm glad that you have made a decision about that." She said with a smile. "But to my next thing." She said and the teenagers looked a bit worried. "You two are role models amongst our younger students. Most of them will know what you've done. You know how fast gossip travels in the mansion. But we don't want them to start copying and thinking this would be alright to do at their age."
"They always pester me though." Scott said standing up. "And it's not my fault. I've never mentioned anything I've done with Jean to them. I mean last night, it was.." Scott looked over to Jean and she nodded. "It was our first time last night. We haven't done anything before last night."
"Scott, I know what you're saying." Ororo said. "It's just you've got to watch what you say and things you may do around the other students."
"We've never done anything around the other students though." Jean said to their defence.
"I know Jean." Ororo said. "I've been there Jean, with my first love. And after our first time, we couldn't keep our hands off each other. Let me ask you, and tell me truthfully. Are you both thinking right now of touching each other intimately?"
Jean and Scott blushed a little but slowly nodded. "But we know not to do it when we're around the students."
"But how do you know they're not always there Jean." Ororo said and Jean realised what she was saying. "Now, since it's Friday and since you have both taken a further step into your relationship I have a little gift." She handed Jean and Scott an envelope. Jean opened it and took out a piece of paper. Scott and Jean read it. It was a booking confirmation for a hotel in the city. "I know you both have wanted time alone together for a long time." Ororo said. "Now is your chance to get away for the weekend." Scott and Jean both looked at her and she smiled.
"Thank you." Scott said he looked to Jean and smiled.
"Yeah, Storm, thank you." Jean said. "Are you sure though?"
"If the worst happens, we've got you're cell numbers." Ororo said and stood up. "You better get some packing and have a wonderful time."
"We will" Jean and Scott said together and Ororo left the room.
"Oh Scott I can't believe this. A whole weekend just me and you." Jean said taking his hands and kissing him. "I've dreamed of this, just out of this place and having time alone together."
Scott hugged her. "Yeah, this is great." He agreed and sat down, pulling her down with him. "Jean, was I, you know, ok last night?"
"Scott you were perfect." Jean said easing his worries away and he smiled.
"You were great too." He said and kissed her.
"Let's go pack!" Jean said and jumped up from the couch and made her way to the door. "Come on! Quicker we get there.." She said trailing off and winked at him.
Scott grinned and quickly followed Jean out of the room.
Bobby and Tabitha quickly ran down the hall from the library after seeing the door open. They hid well from Ororo, but Scott and Jean were a different matter. They had a telepath to hide from now and Bobby just hoped that Jean wouldn't sense them. They continued to run down the hall and into the kitchen.
"Guess what!" Bobby said to what he expected to be his fellow students but he had a surprised.
The man sitting at the table looked up from his paper to Bobby. "What do you want?"
"Um, Logan." He stuttered and Tabitha backed away from the kitchen.
"Get back here you." Tabitha slowly walked back in and tried to avert her eyes from Logan.
"Now Icepop, what were you saying?" Logan asked Bobby.
"Um…I got an A in algebra!" He shouted. "Wooo!" Logan shook his head and a frown appeared on Bobby's face.
"Stop lying." Logan said and looked to Tabitha. "Now, both of you, tell what's going on."
"Come on Jean, it can't take you that long to pack." Scott said from the other side of the door. He stood with a small holdall and his car keys in hand.
"I like to fold my clothes Scott, not just throw them in." Jean shouted from her room and Scott rolled his eyes.
"A want a word with you boy!" A voice boomed from the other end of the hall, charging towards Scott.
"Oh shit!" Scott said and started banging on Jean's door. "Let me in!"
Jean opened the door and Scott pushed his way in. "Logan's on the warpath! He's gonna kill me!"
"Scott it can't be that bad." Jean said and walked out of the room to face Logan.
"Get out here Summers!" He shouted.
"Logan, chill. Me and Scott are both responsible." Jean said trying to sweet talk him.
"I'll deal with you next." Logan pushed Jean out of the way and into her room to find Scott standing scared.
"Logan, you don't understand…" Scott started but Logan lunged for him but was stopped a few centimetres from Scott's face.
"Jean, put me down." Logan growled and Scott ran by him and out to the hall.
"Get back here you little shit." Logan shouted after Scott and Jean kept him where he was. She knew she couldn't keep him there for long, but at least it bought some time for Scott to get far away as possible.
"Logan, why are you doing this? You knew this would happen sooner or later." Jean said trying to reason with him.
"There was only one option Jean, later." Logan said clenching his fists together. "Sooner was never an option. You're still a child."
"I am not Logan!" Jean shouted. "I'm 18! Not 8"
"What's going on?" Ororo said entering the room, Scott standing behind her.
"Do you know what these two have been up to?" Logan said, still floating in mid air. Jean could fell herself starting to get tired.
"Yes I do Logan, and I don't see the problem." Ororo said walking over to Jean putting a hand on her shoulder. "Let him go."
Jean put Logan back on the floor and Scott tensed up, raising his hand slightly to his glasses, fearing the worst would happen.
"You don't see the problem?" Logan asked and walked over to Ororo. "They're kids Storm!"
"Logan be quiet. They're adults. They have left school. Jean is going to university and Scott is going to be a teacher here."
"Not if I've got anything to do with it." Logan growled looking at Scott.
"Logan, can't you see they have grown up." Ororo said and made Jean sit down. Scott walked into the room cautiously kneeling down beside Jean. He knew he would be safe with Ororo still in the room, "They know what they are doing. They have taken precautions and I have had a talk with them. You just have to deal with the fact that Scott and Jean are adults and are in a relationship."
Logan growled looking at them both and walked out of the room knowing in his heart that that Ororo was right.
Scott fell to the floor, sitting there in silence for a moment. "Are you two alright?" Ororo asked and both of the nodded. "I'll leave you be, come and see me before you go." Ororo walked out of the room and closed the door over for their privacy.
Scott kneeled back up again resting his head on Jean's chest. Jean pulled him close and kissed the top of his head.
"Jean…" Scott started but was cut short by Jean
"Scott, don't even talk about it please." She said and lifted his head up to face him. "Lets just get away."
Scott nodded and stood up and pulled his bag over to double check things and Jean packed the last few things into her bag.
She smiled at Scott and hugged him. "Let's go and have fun!" Scott laughed and they walked out of the room.
"Ororo's in the kitchen." Jean said. "But Logan's there too."
Scott sighed and took Jean's hand and walked to the kitchen. "We're going to have to face him sometime." Scott said, knowing they had to see him. He wasn't going to have his weekend with Jean ruined.
They walked through the kitchen door and Ororo greeted them with a smile. "Are you two all packed?"
"Yeah, we're just ready to go." Jean said and looked over to Scott and smiled.
"Well you two have fun," Ororo said winking. "But remember to take precautions"
They both nodded and gave Ororo a hug and left. Logan had sat with his back to them and Ororo shook her head.
"You mean a lot to them Logan," Ororo said and put a hand on his shoulder. "You know you need to talk to them properly."
"When they get back, we will talk." He said and walked out of the kitchen.
Scott put the bags into the boot as Jean slid into the car and switched on the engine for him. She played around with the stations on the radio and Scott came into the car. He smiled at Jean and reached over and kissed her.
"Let's go." Jean said and Scott drove the car away from the mansion.
Jean felt a big weight had been lifted from her shoulders as they drove down the country road. No one would be able to bother them over the next two days. It would be the most peace they would ever have together. She looked over to Scott, seeing a smile on his face. She put a hand on his knee and slid it up his thigh.
Scott chuckled a little. "Can't you wait until we get there."
"No." She said smiling and he smiled back at her. She slid her hand back down a little. She wouldn't want to distract him too much whilst he was driving. She leaned back into the seat, enjoying the light breeze around them.
Scott looked over quickly and smiled, knowing this was just the start to a perfect and fun weekend.
