MORNINGS
This was definitely not a good day for Remy LeBeau. After making it to their bedroom and lying her down on the bed, she was now in a deep sleep. He had only left her alone for a couple of minutes. It was just his luck. First Scott, now this? He didn't have the nerve to wake her. She looked so peaceful. Anna had been overworked. She thought that she could do everything herself.
When Anna finally woke up, it was to the smell of bacon. The smell woke her easily as she stretched and got up. As she walked past a mirror, she noticed that she was still wearing what she had yesterday. However, she did not come to the rationalization that she had fallen asleep just before anything could actually happen with Remy, until she found him downstairs cooking breakfast. As she walked into the kitchen, the aroma of the coffee was so alluring, she was drawn to it like a moth to a flame.
He didn't even have to turn around to know that she was behind him.
"Mornin' chere. Sleep well?" he asked her, hiding his smirk as he did not face her. A deep blush grazed her cheeks in embarrassment.
"Yeah," she replied meekly, "Ah'm sorry 'bout that." Remy smiled at her.
"It be ok, chere. Remy understands." he stopped what he was doing and turned to her, placing his hands upon her waist and pulling her towards him gently.
"You can always make it up to Remy." he leaned in to kiss her, but she jumped away from him as the oven timer went off. Then Anna noticed the clock and apologized once again to him and ran up stairs to get dressed. If they didn't hurry up, they were going to be late.
By the time Anna finished getting ready and headed back downstairs, Remy was finishing his breakfast, but sat there watching her, across from the plate he had made her. Anna made her way over to him, gently kissing him on the lips and sitting down to eat her breakfast. She desperately ate quickly, but quietly, not wanting to be late.
Once they finally made it to school, they were greeted by everyone that they knew. Apparently, Scott had made sure to inform anyone he could. Remy stayed as close as he could to Anna, untrusting of Scott's true intentions, especially after seeing him yesterday. But it was a futile attempt as Anna and him did not have all the same classes. But he had made sure that he was out by each of her classrooms waiting for her each time the bell rang.
But, in doing this, Remy had to deal with the unexpected. He waited for Anna, once again, just before lunch, when he saw her. He thought that perhaps he was imagining things. That there was no way in the world that this blond was making her way to him through the countless, nameless faces in the hallway. That, maybe, just maybe, those piercing blue eyes were that of a ghost. But, being the way that his luck was going lately, she was no ghost. Once Anna walked out of the classroom, he turned his attention to her, instantly loosing track this 'ghost'.
"What's the mattah sugah? Ya look so pale." Anna asked him as she lightly touched his face. He reached up and grabbed her hand, holding it in his.
"It's nothin' chere."
"Is it?" came an all too familiar voice that was too close for comfort. Both turned their attention to the young woman. Anna's eyes turned to slits, jumping straight into defensive mode. Remy, on the other hand, did his best to look relaxed, hoping that his attempts were not futile.
"What are you doin' here Belle?"
"Oh, so you remember mon nom chere." she asked him.
"How could he forget?" Anna asked bluntly.
"Ya not exactly someone ta forget." Belladonna smiled meekly.
"Dat be true."
"Not da point Belle. What'cha doin' here?"
"Oh, you don't know?" she tried to act shocked, but her acting skills obviously needed some work.
"I'm enrolled here now. Dis be my first day here." she situated herself as close as she could to Remy, nearly knocking Anna out of the way.
"Want to show me 'round Remy. For ol' times sake." she whispered into his ear, only to pull away from him winking, with her best 'come hither' look. Remy was obviously not impressed, but, needless to say, neither was Anna.
"Good to see ya too Belladonna." Anna nearly growled as she balled up her hands into fists. Remy, clearly not bothered by a chick fight, and probably wanting to see one at this point, figured now was not the time.
"Remy sure dat you can figure out things on ya own Belle." then he grabbed Anna's hand and nearly dragged her down the hallway, as Belladonna watched them and called out, "See you 'round Remy!" At this, he had to grab Anna from behind as she pulled out of his grasp and tried to make her way at the blonde.
"She not be worth it, neh." Anna pulled away from him and turned to him, obviously fuming as she looked him over questioningly and then stomped away angry. Remy took a deep breath and brushed a hand over his face, mumbling, "Merde," and then taking off after Anna.
