Yay I'm updating. I thought of uploading a chapter a, a week but since I made the prologue really, really short, and I have some spare time; I've decided to update sooner than planned. Oh, and inTHEgrid thanks for the spelling correction. No idea I made that mistake. Heh.
--------------------------------------------
Chapter One
Remy jumped out of bed and ran out of the bedroom. She wasn't in the bathroom, kitchen was empty, dining and living area, and library were empty as well. He searched their mildly lavish two-bedroom apartment but to no avail.
'Damn t'is b' meanin' she went out,' Remy thought to himself and indeed found the front door open. Quickly his coat and shoes and went looking for Rogue before anything happened.
------------------
An hour and a half earlier:-
Green eyes fluttered open, feeling warm and relaxed in someone's arms. Rogue turned to see she was in Remy's arms and smiled.
Rogue carefully got out of bed as not to wake Remy up. Her head was feeling sore. She took a quick shower and was going to make breakfast when she heard a cry. She walked back into her bedroom and headed towards the off-white crib by the door. Looking in to a chubby smiling face she reached in and pulled out her bundle of joy. Quietly she exited the room with her baby in tow.
"Now what hav' Ah told ya 'bout beian quiet. You could hav' woke Remy." She only got giggles as a reply. She brought them into the kitchen and discovered they were out of baby food again. 'Ah thought ah told Remy to buy some.' She then looked in the fridge and pulled out a carton of milk. Preparing a bottle one hand wasn't easy, she looked at the baby in other arm, "See what ya put your Mama through." she said to him but the little hand just reached out and pulled her hair.
After giving the baby it's fill she sat it down in the high chair in the kitchen and proceeded to wash the bottle. "Ah don't know why Ah prepare a full bottle for ya. Ya barely drink any." Finishing her task, she turned towards her child.
"So sugah how 'bout we get ya some food." Blue eyes just smiled back at her.
----------------------
Back to current time:-
Remy ran down the stairs from the eight floor of the apartment. He had no time to wait for the elevator. He assumed Rogue would be at the park. She always seemed to go there when she went out.
He ran past the morning crowd of people; some heading to work or taking their kids to the nearby school, some were going to the store and some of the housewives were out and heading to their neighbour's place to gossip or exchange recipes. Running past the people and stores, he failed to notice a stripped hair redhead entering the local grocery store.
-----------------------
Rogue look through the selves, occasionally shifting to adjust the squirming bundle in her arms. 'Ah don't know why Remy won't let me get a stroller. "t's not easy to always carry..' Her thoughts were interrupted when blondish reddish hair blocked her view. Apparently wasn't enough to keep moving but her little joy was now jumping in her arms trying to squirm out of it's mother's arms.
Rogue shook her head and shifted again and looked at the selves. 'Great. Now what type do ah get. This little tyke 's always so picky.' She reached up and picked up a few different jars with different flavours and brands. She also picked up some other things she needed and placed them in the basket. She carried it to the counter and waited behind a woman who seemed to have a mountain of things to pay for.
She felt like she was waiting forever and it was hard to stay balance with her baby squirming in her arms. "Come on sugah relax. We'll b' out soon." She said putting down the basket and rocking the energy filled kid.
Just then she felt eyes on her. She looked away from the now giggling child to see the woman and cashier staring at her. She just smiled and they quickly turned away and continue to do whatever they were doing before. Rogue just shrugged it off and waited for her turn.
After she paid, she grabbed the bags giving a smile to the cashier as she walked out the door. She didn't see the man coming in at the same time till she collided into him. Making sure she didn't drop her baby that was giggling, she quickly apologized and headed out.
A voice called out to her as she took a step out the door. She turned to see who it was and stared in shock at the man from her past, into his blue eyes, the same blue eyes that she would look into her soul and still did.
"Warren." She whispered out before taking a step back and running back towards her apartment.
------------------------
Warren was tired. The lead was wrong again. 'I might as well give up.' He thought to himself. He would be heading back to New York in two days. New Orleans was quite warm this spring morning, so he decided to go the local store near his inn. When he was about to open the door though, someone collided into him.
He looked down being about a head taller and recognized her straight away. "Rouge" He called out without thinking.
Warren was shocked to say the least. He never expected to see her again. To see her green eyes that he longed for since they first met again. He'd been looking for her since she disappeared and now he found her. But the way she looked at him, like she was angry and scared.
He heard her whispered his name but before he could respond she ran. Warren quickly snapped himself out of staring at the spot where Rogue was standing and chased after her.
--------------------------
Remy was worried to say the least. Rogue wasn't in the park, she would always go to one spot and she wasn't there. He had to find her before anything happened to her. Things always seem to happen when she went out. For the past two years, it has been like this, since they moved to New Orleans.
'Maybe she b' headin' home' he thought to himself and began to head home. As he left the park, he saw Rogue looking into the grocery store then suddenly turn and run. Then a man came out and chased her. Quickly, Remy went afterthem.
Tbc..
------------------------------------------------
So, what do you think of chapter one. I think I screwed up Rogue's accent. I'm not sure if anyone reading this will think it's too short. At least it's longer than the prologue. I think I might be incapable of writing really long chapters at once. Heh
