Author's Note- Hormonally driven Pete (extra hormonally driven Pete), ya
know, this is starting to be fun :)
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The Beach
~*~
They gave me a life that's not so easy to live
And then they sent me on my way
I left my loving, forgot my dreams
I lost them along the way
Those little things you say
When words mean so much
You never back down
And they all shy away
You always listen to me
-3 Doors Down

"First," Pete said. "We have t' stop by my house. You can call yer mates from there. Don't want `em t' send out a search party." He glanced at her as he drove. "By the way, I saw Rockhead."
"Really?"
"He saw us and wasn't too happy."
"Good," Kitty said with a nod. "You know, I totally can't thank you enough for going through with this." Pete pulled in front of the mansion and leaned in kissing her slowly, still not attempting to deepen it.
"I already `ave me thanks, Pryde," he murmured in her ear as he pulled away from her.
"Right," Kitty whispered slightly unsteady. He chuckled getting out of the car. He went around and opened her door for her. "Thanks."
"Anytime, luv." He wrapped an arm around her and led her inside. Remy and Rogue were sitting together on the couch.
"Hey guys," Kitty said brightly. Rogue and Remy looked between the two and Rogue stood.
"Can Ah talk to ya, sugah?" Rogue asked looking at her friend.
"Um, sure," Kitty said reluctantly. Rogue took her arm and the two walked into the kitchen.
"Ya might want ta fix yer lip-gloss," Rogue said crossing her arms. Kitty looked in the mirror and blushed before reapplying her lip-gloss. "Kit, are ya sure this is a good idea?"
"No," Kitty said honestly.
Rogue regarded her friend seriously. "You're reboundin', ya shouldn't get inta another relationship right now."
"But we're not in a relationship," Kitty protested. "We're not even really friends."
"Yeah, just acquaintances with benefits, huh?"
"No," Kitty said and sighed. "I don't know what we are..."
In the other room
"What's goin' on, Wisdom?" Remy demanded.
"Honestly, mate I `ave no clue," Pete said shrugging. "She wanted me t' help her make Rocky jealous."
"And you agreed out of the goodness of your heart?" Remy asked sarcastically as he crossed his arms.
"Ya might say that," Pete smirked. He walked upstairs and grabbed a bag. He went back down the stairs.
"Pete," Remy said. "De chat's been through enough, hurt her and I will kill you." The fact that he actually spoke in the first person strengthened the threat. Kitty came back in with Rogue following.
"I called them," Kitty announced.
"Good," Pete said. "Ready?"
"Yeah." He led her outside throwing the bag in the back seat. He pulled out. "So, are you, like, going to tell me now where we're going?"
"Nope," Pete grinned. He pulled out and they drove for almost an hour. "Hungry?"
"A little," she admitted.
"Do ya mind McDonalds?"
"No," Kitty said.
"Not much of a fan of it meself but it's close." He pulled into the drive through and soon they were back on the road. The sun was beginning to set when he finally stopped. Kitty looked around herself in surprise. He had taken her to the beach. He got out and grabbed the bag spreading a blanket on the sand.
"I, like, have to admit, Pete, this is nice," she smiled.
"Knew you'd like it," he said with a grin. They sat down together. He pulled a radio out of the bag and turned it on. Garbage's "Can't Seem to Make You Mine" began playing and Pete extended a hand. "Dance with me?"
"What?" Kitty asked raising her eyebrows.
"Dance with me," he repeated slowly. She placed her hand in his and he pulled her tightly against him.
~*~
"I can't go on like this
A little bit of love, not a kiss
I gotta have your love everyday
One that'll never fade"
~*~
They swayed together and Pete was amazed at how well they actually fit together. Her body seemed to be made for his. Her every curve fit against his wiry frame. He contemplated the song as he looked down at the girl in his arms. He did seem to need her more and more. He smiled wryly. Well, if he had to have an addiction, (other than smoking, of course) Kitty Pryde would be his first choice.
~*~
"Can't you see what you're doin' to me
You fill my heart with misery
With every breath, every step I take
I'm more in love with you"
~*~
/Okay,/ he thought. /That part's wrong. I don't love her./
~*~
"I can't seem to make you mine
I can't seem to make you mine"
~*~
/How true./ He wanted Kitty so badly but he knew that she was just using him to make Lance jealous. /Any way I can `ave her,/ he decided.
~*~
"Kissing all around all the time
I can't seem to make you mine
Flying around like a bee
Hurting everything you see"
~*~
"Pete?" Kitty asked noticing that he was staring at her.
"Sorry, luv," he told her with a smile. "You just look so beautiful in the sunset." She rolled her eyes and laughed but he could see the pleased blush spread across her cheeks.
Kitty looked into Pete's eyes as their bodies moved together. Over the past few days she had found herself getting feelings for him. How could she tell him though? He was only doing this because she had asked him. It's not like he actually liked her. She sighed looking away from him.
~*~
"I can't seem to make you mine
I can't seem to make you mine
I can't seem to make you mine
I can't seem to make you mine"
~*~
They sat back down as the song did a fade out. He noticed that Kitty was nervously chewing on her bottom lip, and frowned slightly. "Kitty, somethin' wrong?" he asked.
"No," she said. "Just thinking."
"About?"
"...Nothing..."
"Right." They sat and watched the sunset then watched the stars come out. "Ready t' go home?"
"I guess." Pete stood and packed everything back into the car. "Well, you did fulfill your promise," Kitty admitted as he started the car and took off. "I did have fun tonight."
"Of course." She moved slightly closer and, to his shock, laid her head on his shoulder. Pete smiled. Before, he had always been the one to initiate physical contact; this was a nice change. He pulled up in front of the Institute. He got out and opened her door for her. Kitty got out of the car and smiled at him.
"Thanks for a great night."
"Any time, luv." He made no move towards her. Kitty knew he was waiting for her to do something. She stood on her tiptoes and pressed her lips to his. She was surprised when she felt his arms encircle her waist as he pulled her close and lowered his head. She closed her eyes as his lips parted hers and his tongue entered her mouth. She responded immediately caressing his tongue with her own. He pulled away grinning down at her. "G'night, Pryde."
"Goodnight, Wisdom." She turned and started away squeaking in surprise when he reached out firmly grabbing her butt. "Pete!"
"Yes?" he asked making his eyes wide with innocence. She walked back to him and smacked him on the shoulder. He merely grinned down at her as she turned and walked back inside.
