Chapter nine

It was early in the afternoon when she roared into the familiar motel parking lot. She turned off the bike and walked into the office. The man behind the counter was the same man that she had payed last time only now he was asleep in the chair, snoring noisily. She tried various methods to wake him but none worked so she leaned over the desk and found the registration book. It wasn't kept remarkably well but it was marked that a Remy Lebeau was staying in room 23 until the next Friday. She put the book back and walked behind the man to grab the spare key to room 23.

She walked out and up the stairs keeping her eyes peeled for a door with the numbers 23 screwed to it. The room was at the end of a hallway. Rogue approached and knocked lightly at first then when no one answered or even acknowledged her she knocked louder. Still no sounds.

She tried the doorknob; it was locked. She took the key from her pocket and stuck it in the keyhole.

Upon opening the door she found it was dark and empty. The curtains were drawn so the only light came from the hallway. She switched the light on just to make sure that it was really empty and that she hadn't gotten the wrong room. She could tell from the smell of spices and the bourbon bottles on the table that it was defiantly the Cajuns room.

Seeing the bed she decided to surprise Remy the next time he came into the room. She turned out the light and lied on the bed, 'How often is he going to find a strange girl in his bed?'

The darkness of the room and the scent of Remy on the pillows lulled Rogue into a doze. She didn't wake up until a few hours later when she heard a key scratching at the keyhole. She tensed instinctively then relaxed when she saw the familiar form of Remy in the doorway.

"About tahme Swamp Rat. Ah been waitin fer hours."

Remy's form tensed but Rogue reached for the lamp next to the bed and switched it on. Light poured into the room and Remy loosened up when he saw her lying there on his bed.

"Tis good ta see y' 'gain Chere. Been far too long."

He took a step towards her and enveloped her in a large tight hug. He sighed and said "It really is good ta see y' 'gain Rogue. Remy's missed ya."

"Good ta see ya too Rem. Now lets ga home."

They gathered Remy's scarce belongings and headed for the bikes in the parking lot. They roared into the driveway a little before ten at night, much to the relief of the adults and Wanda.

When they entered the mansion they were confronted by an irate Wanda.

"So you leave again? When am I ever gonna be allowed to go on your little adventures huh?" she directs at Rogue. Rogue threw her hands up in fear of the wrath of the Scarlet Witch, and laughed.

"Ah'm sorry Wanda. Next tahme Ah promise Ah'll take ya with meh."

"You better!" she said laughing, "Or…or I'll do something dastardly, I swear!" she too was laughing at this point and Remy was just smirking in the corner.

Wanda grabbed Rogue's wrist and dragged her up to their room. After tripping up the many stairs and stumbling down the many feet of hallway (she was being dragged rather fast) they rushed into the room to find it occupied already.

"Dammit Johnny what did I tell you about being in here with out me. Its her room too ya know," Wanda said pointing at Rogue who was standing next to her with her hands on her hips.

"Aww…but Sweetheart Oy missed ya and couldn't wait ta see ya."

"So why didn't ya go looking for me? I was in the rec room ya tart."

"But Oy didn't know that and Oy knew you'd have ta come back here sooner or later."

Wanda threw her hands in the air and groaned.

"Ya know what! Whatever just don't do it again, got it?"

"Yes my punky poo." John said smiling innocently.

"And don't call me that! You sound like Toad!" John blanched and shuddered, which caused Wanda to laugh. She walked over to her side of the room and kissed John lightly on the lips in passing.

By this time Rogue and Remy had watched the exchange with mounting fascination. But the kiss was the last straw for Remy who burst into speech while Rogue simply walked around the room with a large grin on her face, finishing the unpacking she had started before she left to go find Remy.

"So's Remy ta take it dat you two's are goin' out now or somet'ing?"

Rogue looked up from folding a pair of jeans and said, "Well Duh! Ain't it obvious?"

Remy just rolled his eyes and walked over to Rogue's bag. "So ya need some 'elp?"

Rogue looked over her shoulder from the wardrobe, "Uhh sure whah not, ya'll can help too if ya want," she said acknowledging the pair sitting on the bed making out.
