The Hearts Choice
Chapter 11
Scott and Jean found their way into the common room. The only light were the small fairy lights hanging from the Christmas tree and the glow from the television screen. The two sat top and tail on the sofa; their legs stretched out in front of them and their feet resting on the others lap. A bowl of popcorn rested between them, half-empty.
"What movie is this?" Scott asked indicating to the Spanish characters moving around the screen. Jean shrugged holding a hand in front of her lips as she swallowed her mouthful and licked her fingertips.
"Do you even understand it?" He asked reaching forward and taking a small handful of popcorn. Jean nodded again not looking away from the screen.
"Si" she said quietly. Scott quirked his lips and filled his mouth, chewing as quietly as he could. He allowed himself to stare at Jean for a few moments while she sat mesmerized in front of the television. He could hear the characters blabbing in Spanish in the background and his heart jumped every time Jean's lips curved into a smile. His understanding of Spanish was very limited seeing as he had no desire to learn the language. Jean's feet shifted on his lap and he looked down at her sock-covered toes. Jean blinked for the first time in a while and turned to look at Scott. She could feel him gently rubbing his fingers over the pad of her foot and she sighed. Reaching for the remote she switched off the television, leaving the room in silence.
"That got your attention" Scott joked as he continued to rub through the material of her sock. Jean smiled enjoying the feel of his touch.
"Feels nice" she said barely above a whisper. She watched him slowly pull off her white sock, leaving her foot bare in his hands. She suppressed a giggle as he started to stroke the soft skin of her foot. Eyeing Scott's foot underneath the blanket she gently pulled it on to her lap and began to copy his actions. Scott looked up at her and smiled.
They sat like that for a while underneath the small lights of the Christmas tree. All conversation was lost in the swift caresses. Jean leaned her head back and closed her eyes. Lifting her head she instinctively continued drawing soft circles on Scott's foot. She opened her tired eyelids and her lips curved into a smile. Scott was asleep, his head pillowed by the arm of the sofa, his mouth slightly open. Sheepishly Jean crawled to the other side of the sofa, wriggling under the thin blanket. Silently she snuggled into Scott's side, who shifted in his sleep and wrapped an arm around her upper body. Jean smiled lazily kissing his cheek before resting her head on to his shoulder.
*~*
The sound of heavy rain hitting the glass of the window roused Jean from her sleep. Her eyes fluttered open and she lay still for a moment. She was still snuggled into Scott's side, her head resting on the side of his chest. His even heartbeat echoed through his body and her head rose and fell with every breath he took. Warily she sat up, being careful not to wake the sleeping figure beside her.
Glancing out of the half-closed curtains, Jean could see the early morning sky stretching across the horizon in a mixture of oranges and pinks. The air was misty and moist and the sound of early morning birds song being drowned by the rain. The soft bristles of the carpet tickled the sensitive skin of her feet as she walked out of the common room. The tiled floor was cold causing her toes to curl. Jean stood in the doorway of the kitchen looking around the space. Flicking on the light she squinted, the sudden change of light hurting her eyes. She covered her mouth, stifling a yawn as she trudged across the empty, cold kitchen taking a mug from a cupboard and switching on the kettle. Humming to herself, Jean retrieved a carton of milk from the fridge and placed it on the work surface. She leaned against the fridge lazily, tucking her messed red locks behind her ears. She waited patiently for the kettle to boil and she made herself a steaming cup of hot chocolate. Glancing at the round clock hanging above the kitchen door, she found it was almost four in the morning.
Scott was still sound asleep by the time she arrived back in the common room. She stood towering over him. She smiled to herself taking a sip of her drink before placing it on the coffee table. She bit her lip as she crawled onto the sofa and over his sleeping body. She straddled his lap, turning him so he was fully on his back and lent forward so her face was a few inches above his. His breath was warm against the skin of her face. She lightly kissed his cheek and ran her fingers through his thick, brown hair.
"Scott?" she whispered, repeating the process of soothing his hair back again and again. She kissed him lightly on the mouth before gently tapping his cheek with her fingers. He scrunched up his eyes before attempting to turn over. Jean giggled quietly keeping him in place. "Scott" she said again this time more firmly. He let out a moan throwing a hand in the air.
"Come on Scott we cant spend the whole night on the sofa! We need a good mattress" Jean said standing up and whipping the blanket off of his body. Scott groaned again burying his face into the arm of the sofa. Jean sighed placing her hands on her hips.
"Come on Scott you lazy ass!" She said telekinetically throwing a cushion in his direction. Scott let out a cry of surprise shooting up into a sitting position. He looked up at her through half-closed eyelids.
"What?!" He moaned swinging her leg over the side of the sofa. Jean rolled her eyes, dropping her arms and grabbing her drink.
"You'll thank me later when you wake up with out back pain!" She hissed as she walked out of the common room. Scott groaned jumping to his feet and chasing after her. He stepped out into the foyer and found that she had already climbed the stairs. He took the stairs two at a time, pausing briefly at the top.
"Hot chocolate?" Jean's voice came suddenly and unexpectedly. Scott gasped staggering back as Jean emerged from around the corner.
"Jesus Jean" He whispered sharply. Jean smiled holding up her mug. Scott shook his head and walked along side her down the corridor.
"G'night" Scott whispered once they had reached Jean's bedroom. He lent forward and kissed her lightly on the mouth.
"Good night Scott" she whispered with a smile before disappearing behind her bedroom door.
*~*
Jean groaned in annoyance at the constant knocking at her door. "G'away" she slurred sleepily pulling the covers over her head.
"Jean it's like almost midday and there is like some one on the phone for you" Kitty's muffled voice yelled through the door. Jean was grateful that she did not phase straight through the walls. With a loud groan, she flung the covers from her face and unlocked the door with a telekinetic click. Almost immediately Kitty came bounding into the room holding the receiver stretched out in front of her. Jean smiled almost falsely at the younger girl taking the phone and holding it up to her face.
"Hello?" She asked unable to keep the tiredness from her voice.
"Hi Jean!" Taryn's upbeat voice caused Jean's knuckles to tighten around the phone.
"Hi" she said almost bitterly, pursing her lips.
"I'm sorry if I woke you."
"No, no it's fine. What's up?" she asked leaning back against the headboard.
"Well my dad is letting me use the holiday home next weekend and I was thinking about having a double date weekend thing."
"Double date?" Jean questioned combing her fingers through her hair.
"Yeah. You know, you and Scott and me and Paul"
Jean's eyes widened. "You and Paul?"
"I know isn't it great?"
"Um." Jean covered her mouth suppressing the small chuckle that escaped her lips.
"So are you up for it?" Taryn asked.
"Um I will have to check"
"It will be so much fun!" She reassured suddenly sounding excited. "Please?" She cooed. Jean rolled her eyes.
"Ok but I will have to OK it with the professor"
"Great! See you at school" Taryn said before hang up the phone. Jean let out a groan, sinking back into the warmth of her bed. She lay staring up at the ceiling for several moments and bit her lower lip. Kicking off the covers she swung her legs over the side of the bed and trudged across her bedroom. Grabbing her bath rode she left the room and made her way to the shower.
*~*
"Ok Scott I am going to speed them up" Storm warned. She was hovering a few feet above the danger room floor, her waist length silver white hair floating wildly around her. Cyclops stood underneath her, his hand on his visor. He nodded watching her move closely. Creating a spiral of wind, Storm raised several metal plates into the air and one by one quickly aimed and shot them towards the young X-Man. Unsurprisingly Scott hit each target with ease, shattering them into tiny pieces. Storm smiled in approval and lowered herself to the floor.
"Excellent Cyclops, I think I am going to need to find something else to do for these training sessions."
Scott smiled, wiping tiny beads of sweat from his brow. The double doors of the danger room opened and Evan came pushing himself along on his skate board, adjusting his helmet.
"Hey Scott, Jean is looking for you upstairs". Scott nodded as he began to jog out of the room. He waved behind him as he left the danger room and the large double doors closed behind him.
Jean ran around the basket ball court. Her hair was still damp from her shower and her breath was escaping her mouth in rising puffs of smoke. She clasped her hands tightly around a large orange basketball before raising it above her head and throwing it into the round hoop, which towered above her. She watched as the ball fell through the net and ran forwards to retrieve it.
"Hey" Scott's voice came from behind her. Jean spun around to see Scott standing on the other side of the court. She smiled dribbling the ball before throwing it into the hoop beside Scott. She smiled in triumph as the ball fell freely through the hoop. Scott caught it, running his cold fingers over its ruff surface. He bounced it a few times before throwing it back to Jean. He watched her take another shot and again the ball flew through the hoop and into his hands.
"Evan said you were looking for me" He stated, lunging the ball at Jean. Jean caught it before bouncing it a few times.
"Yeah I was" she said taking another shot and to no surprise scored another goal. "But I got side tracked" she said flashing him a toothy grin.
"So what was up?" He asked throwing the ball back to Jean. She caught it and balanced it under her arm, resting it on her hip. Slowly she walked up to him, linking an arm through his.
"Taryn rang me this morning" Scott waited for her to continue as they slowly walked through the snow-covered grounds. "She wanted to know if we would like to spend a weekend with her and Paul in her Dad's holiday home up in the mountains". Scott shrugged.
"I don't know it could be fun," He said burying his hands into his pockets.
"She's taking Paul" Jean stated matter-of-factly. Scott chuckled softly.
"Well it could be fun"
"You think?"
"Yeah it would be nice to get away for a weekend."
Jean smiled and looked up at him. "But you know what they are going to be up to" she said absentmindedly. Scott just shrugged again, kicked snow off of his shoe.
"So?"
"Scott I am not ready for that yet..i." Scott placed a finger over her lips, cutting her off. He turned himself to stand in front of her, soothing her hair back
"Jean, Taryn and Paul and do what they want, but there is no rush on us. Ok?" He said cupping her chin in his hand and pushing her face up so that she looked at him. Jean smiled and gave a small nod. Scott kissed her forehead and wrapped an arm around her shoulders and they continued to walk. "Good" he said quietly.
"So do you want to go?" she asked wrapping an arm around his waist and leaning a head on his shoulder.
"Yeah it could be fun"
"I will have to check with the Professor" she confirmed.
*~*
"I am giving you permission to go" Xavier's deep voice spoke kindly form behind his desk.
"You are?" Jean asked. She was sat in a chair opposite Xavier and looked up from her lap to meet his kind brown eyes with hers. He nodded pressing his fingers together, looking at her from behind thick eyelashes, leaning his elbows against the surface of his wooden desk.
"I think you and Scott have earned the time off to relax." Jean smiled pulling the sleeves of her jumper up to her elbows.
"Thanks Professor" She said flashing him a smile as she stood from her seat. Xavier nodded and smiled in return watching her leave his office.
*~*
"Hello Taryn?" Jean gripped the receiver tightly, holding it against the side of her face. "Is the offer still on for this weekend?" she asked biting her lip. "Well it is ok that Scott and I come along".
An excited squeal sounded from the other end of the phone. Jean brought it away from her ear. The conversation turned out to be longer than Jean would have liked. Scott silently slipped into her room with a tray in his hands listening to her conversation.
"That's great Taryn" Jean said dryly sounding rather board. Scott smiled kicking the door shut. Jean glanced up at him and smiled. She watched him place the tray on her desk and mouth "Who is it?"
"Taryn" she mouthed back. She leant up against the head board, twirling a strand of red hair around her finger. Scott climbed onto the bed, bring his face up to the phone. Jean smiled playfully pushing his head away.
"Listen Taryn I have got to go. Ok I will see you at School" She said before hanging up the phone.
"Well that sounded interesting" Scott said, his words full of sarcasm. Jean rolled her eyes.
"Yeah. Taryn's life is about as interesting as a rock" she said dryly. "What is on the tray?" she asked eyeing the tray that still sat on her desk.
"Your dinner" he said retrieving it and sitting opposite Jean on her bed. Jean mouth began to water, she had not realized how hungry she was. Her eyes surveyed the plate of chicken and chips and watched Scott pick up a chip and hold it in front of her face. He brought it to her lips. Jean raised an eyebrow but opened her mouth willingly. She smiled at him as she chewed and swallowed.
"You know I am capable of feeding myself," she said. Scott chuckled leaning forward, covering her lips with his. The kiss was sweet and loving. Jean opened her mouth and allowed Scott's tongue to enter and wrestle her own. Jean wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him closer. Scott obliged trying not to push the tray of food that sat between them. With their lips still locked Scott moved away from the tray and lay on his side. Jean wriggled beside him, telekinetically putting the tray on the floor. Scott rolled over so that his body was resting above hers. He lovingly caressed the side of her face and kissed the tip of her nose. Jean smiled pushing her head off of the bed to meet his lips. Suddenly she had lost her appetite. She captured him in another kiss, which was rising in passion. She could feel Scott's gentle fingers stroking her collarbone and the top of her breasts. She kissed him deeper, her fingers tangled in his hair. Scott's fingers curiously stroked through the material of her shirt, over one breast. Jean inhaled deeply through her nose and her skin tingled pleasantly under his touch. A slightly hesitant hand reached up underneath the material of Jean's shirt to her bra.
*Is this too fast? * He asked mentally not wanting to break their kiss.
*No* She replied back.
Scott's cautious hand reached behind her warm back and undid her bra. Jean felt slightly more relaxed as she continued to bury her hands into his hair. Scott hands were cold but comfortable as he cupped on breast and gently massaged the soft skin. A small moan escaped Jean's mouth as she continued to kiss him. Scott's grew more confident in his exploration as he continued to stroke her breast. Jean sucked in a breath at the pleasant touch.
*X-Men I would like to see you all in the planning room as soon as possible* Xavier's voice filled their heads and Jean and Scott broke apart. Reluctantly Scott pushed himself off of Jean while she did her bra back up. She giggled at his embarrassment and placed a soft kiss on his cheek before walking out of the room. Scott smiled to himself getting up off of the bed and following her.
