What Comes Around
Chapter 2
I sat on the chair across the table from her as she took a sip of her coffee. I couldn't help but stare, she was so much happier. "So dey tough' you to control i' enough at talk?"
She nodded, "Much better then having to write everything down I assure you." She paused and reached into her pocket, pulling something out and holding it out toward me. "I think this is yours."
I reached out and took it from her, staring at it for a moment before I laughed. It was the King of Hearts. I'd given it to her when I found her so she wouldn't be so upset. "Bon seigneur, you kep' i' all dis time eh?" I laughed again, "Ahd'v though' you woulda thrown i' ou' already, wha' with you and Logan…."
She turned unseeing eye to the table. "That didn't work out as well as I would have hoped." She fidgeted with the coffee cup. "I thought I'd go through some of my old things and I found that, I never really knew what it was but when I asked Kurt he told me there was an address on the back."
I turned it over and saw a quickly scribbled address that I had written before I handed her the card all those years ago, "So you decided to come and find old Gambit eh? Je suis honoré ma dame, ahm honored." I held it out to her and she took it back.
"I couldn't think of anywhere else to go." She shrugged and took a sip of her coffee. "It seems things at the mansion get tense when the silent girl that just wants to talk is finally allowed to." She set the cup down. "When I heard you'd gone home for a while I decided to come and see you, it's been years after all." She smiled.
"Bu' mon ami, you can' be tellin' me they didn' wan' you there anymore? Even if things weren' goin' the bes' between you and Logan, I can' believe the Professor would make you leave." I said, putting one of my hands on hers, "Aucune belle dame, dey can' have kicked you ou', ils pas, dey wouldn'."
She sighed and leaned back in her chair, apparently not noticing that I was holding her hand, or she didn't care, I prefer the latter actually. "They didn't kick me out Remmy, I chose to go, they simply didn't argue the point with me."
I stared at her, she was so calm and kind. I blinked and smiled reassuringly, "Je ne représenterai pas lui. Ah won' stand for i', no friend of mine is goin' tah have tah try and find a hotel, You'll stay whi' me." I smiled at her.
She seemed slightly taken aback, "I was just going to go and catch a train tonight but if you insist." She smiled, "I suppose one extra day in a new place wouldn't hurt."
Ok, maybe more then ten chaps, but that's cause I don't know where I'm taking this yet.
