Tempting Thoughts
Chapter 4
The knock came from the outside.
"Come in."
"Hey." Kitty showed from the other side of the door of Amara's room. "I have a couple things I want to talk to you about."
The tone-skinned girl turned from the mirror after brushing her hair for the last time:
"What's up?"
"Well, first of thank you for telling me about Warren's mutation…"
"Oh!" Amara smiled genially. "You saw his cute little wings, didn't you?"
"I wouldn't call them little, but yeah, everything else is right." Kitty made her way to Mara's bed and positioned herself on the end of it.
"A-ha! So, you consider him cute!" Her friend giggled as she sat next to her.
"Emm…what does it have to do with that!"
"So you do!" Amara giggled again.
Kitty was at loss for words for a couple seconds, enough for her friend to figure some things out for herself.
"Of course, he is cute. Find me a woman who would think otherwise!" She said finally.
"Ok, I'll leave it there. For now." Amara nodded her head and smiled. "Now, what else did you want to talk about?"
"Right. I think we should think of something. I mean, I love the countryside and everything but I'd love some society as well…"
"I got it. What do you say we take one of Warren's cars and go shopping to the city?" Suggested Mara.
"Where have you been?"
Pyro turned to the sound of a harsh voice.
"I've been out…"
"Let me rephrase it: where have you been out?" Magneto repeated.
"Out…" John said again, this time eyes locked with the ones of the master of magnetism.
"Alright." Eric finally said. "I just want to remind you not to forget about your priorities. I hope they are still the same, aren't they?"
"Of course, they are." John said slowly.
"Good." But there was something in his eyes that told Pyro otherwise.
"Warren?" Amara went in through the big wooden doors of the young man's office.
"Yes, good morning, Amara. How are you this fine day?" He was typing something in his computer.
"Good, thanks. I was just wondering if maybe Kitty and I could use one of your cars. Don't get us wrong, we like it here, but you know, every girl needs her portion of shopping!" Amara smiled, showing white teeth.
Warren raised an eyebrow:
"You know, I've got a better idea. I'm heading to the city in half an hour, I've got a meeting there. If you want I can drive you and on my way back I'll bring you guys here."
"Sure! Sounds even better! We'll be ready in twenty minuets."
With that she left Angel's office.
"You wanted to see me, Mr. Summers?" Young girl with shoulder-length strawberry blonde hair and big blue eyes entered the empty classroom.
"Yes, come in, Serena." Scott said and sat on the end of the teacher's desk. "I hear you're really good with the computers."
"Well, if the rumor has it…" She came a bit closer.
"Exactly." Cyclops nodded. "I need to open a secret file. I can show you this file but can't break through it without the password…"
"Ok."
"But that between us, if you know what I mean." He looked seriously at the girl in front of him.
"Let's see your file."
"I'll see you here in a couple hours, ok?"
The girls got out of the car and it started to the other direction.
"I am home." Amara said clearly as she looked at the center of a busy city packed with shops and supermarkets.
Kitty laughed at her best friend's words and they both made there way into the crowd.
Warren tapped his fingers in the plate where his cup of strong black coffee was. Everything changed after the girls came to his house. Before he used to create about a thousands excuses just to stay away from his home that was driving him mad sometimes from the loneliness of it. Now he was looking forward to get back there. Why? Warren himself wasn't sure why. Or maybe he didn't want to admit it. Admit that his head was full of thoughts. Thoughts of…
"Hello, Warren."
