Chapter 8- I love you

"Chere, can we meet up?" Remy asked on the phone.

"What now, swamp rat? Ah'm busy." I snap at him. I don't mean to sound so harsh but things haven't been going my way nowadays.

I hear Remy sigh. "Remy just wanted t' see his cherie… Mais if chere is busy…" He said slowly.

"Yes, ah'm busy. Is there anything else?"

"Aww, chere. Come on. One cup of coffee."

"Well, ah guess ah could do with a nice cup of hot coffee…" I mutter at him.

"Oui! Remy could too."

"Ah think ah'll go make some…" Bet he thought I was going to give in. Hah! "Talk tah yah another time."

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

"Do you need anything?"

"No… thanks Danni. Yah can go home, there's nothing else to do."

"But it's only four, Rogue."

"It's ok. Go on." I smile at her.

Danielle smiled back and closed the door. I lie back in my seat and close my eyes. There's nothing to do, so I guess a little nap won't hurt. Then, I hear a knock on my door. I thought Danni left…

"Bonjour, cherie." Remy said with a smile.

"Oh… It's yah."

"Now, couldn't y' at least try to sound happy when y' see Remy?"

"No."

Remy frowned and sat down on one of the leather couches. He's wearing a trench coat over his black shirt and jeans. Is it me, or does he have an obsession with trench coats?

"Be careful, don't dirty the seat, it's expensive." Hey, it's really expensive, ok! "Ok, yahr here. What do yah want?"

"Well… Remy was t'inking… Are y' going to de reunion, chere?"

"Ah don't know. No point, is there? Anyway, it's not yahr year. Yah graduated in 1997. This is the reunion for class 1999."

"Remy was invited, chere." Remy pulls out an invitation card from his pocket. He got an invitation?

"Let meh see that… Wait a minute… who invited yah?"

"Belladonna."

"She invited yah!"

"Well chere, she's de head of de committee." Remy said.

"Figures… How'd yah know that anyway? Even ah didn't know that."

"She came t' New Orleans, chere. Handed Remy de invitation personally."

"Personally? Why? Was there something wrong with the mail? And the postmen?"

"Chere, dere's no need t' be jealous."

"Ah am not!"

Remy smiled. "Sure." He said and nodded.

"Ah'm not jealous, Remy LeBeau!"

"Remy believes y', cherie."

I scowl at him. "What is it exactly that yah want?"

"Remy was wondering whether chere would let Remy escort y'."

"Ah don't think that's a good idea." I answer him softly. I can't go with him. I might fall in love with him all over again.

"Rogue, y' can't avoid Remy for ever."

"That's not fair fohr yah tah say that, Remy. After all those things yah put meh through. It's just not fair."

Does he think this is a joke?

"Chere, Remy is trying to fix dat. Mais Remy needs cherie's help."

"How?"

"What?"

"How can ah possibly help yah?"

"So many ways, chere! First, y' can take Remy back."

"Don't yah dare day that! Yah think it's so easy, don't yah?"

"Chere, it wasn't easy for both of us."

"Yah don't know the pain ah had tah deal with, Remy. Yah have no clue."

He grabs my and pulls me up from my chair. He whispered in my ear, "Chere, Remy was hurt, too. Mais Remy never forgot y', chere. Have y' forgotten Remy?"

"No." Remy leaned down and placed his lips on mine.

Oh, to feel those lips again. Oh Remy, how did it come to this? Should I let him kiss me? Should I push him away? What should I do… Maybe one kiss wouldn't hurt… Maybe he'll leave me alone after this.

He pulls away and looks at me intently. "Chere, Remy still lo…"

"Remy, don't…"

"Chere… just one night. One night. Dat's all Remy asks for, if not more."

"One night?"

"One night. One dance. Chere… please… Remy begs y'."

"But…"

"Chere, y' already bought the dress." Remy says. Wait, how does he know? "Did yah break into mah house or something?"

"Wanda told Remy." Wanda is one dead bitch… "Mais chere, dat's not de point. When Bella gave Remy de invitation, Remy had no intention of going, chere."

"What made yah change yahr mind?"

"Y'. Remy only came back to Bayville for y', chere. Remy wanted t' see y' so bad it hurt Remy inside."

He came back for me. I smile at him and kiss him. Remy is surprised, I can tell. But he won't say no to a kiss.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

I told him I'd think about it. He'll leave me alone until tomorrow, I suppose. I get home to find Wanda sitting on the sofa.

"Yah told Remy about the dress?"

"Well, I don't know about you, but that dress is a beauty, and I'm not gonna let it go to waste. Wearing it will do you good. By the time we leave, guys will be asking for your number."

"Did he see it yet?"

"No, don't worry. You'll dazzle him when he sees you." Wanda smiled.

"Still Wanda, ah trusted yah. What are yah doing here?"

"Got bored. The hotel is really boring. John is at the club, so I came here."

I roll my eyes. "Just put back the emergency keys behind the potted plant when you're leaving."

"The reunion is in three days, you'd better say yes to him. Otherwise Belladonna will steal him from you."

"Steal him form meh? We're not together, Wanda."

"Yeah."

Remy told me if I don't go to the reunion he will be going back to New Orleans straight away. He said there was no point staying if I didn't go. If I go, he'll stay for sure. I want him to stay. I really do, but a part of me is reminding me of our past.

"Ah don't know, Wanda. Mah head is a mess…" I let out a sigh and Wanda hugs me.

"You'll get though this."

"Wanda, ah couldn't possible act like nothing was going on after ah saw his brother shoot someone. The relationship was falling apart."

"I know. Don't worry."

Don't worry? That's easy for you to say, my dear Wanda.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

Remy called early in the morning but I didn't answer the phone. Yes, I'm avoiding him. So what if I am? Someone's at the door and it's probably him. It is.

"Chere? Y' dere? Chere. Open de door, Remy knows y' are dere." He bangs on the door.

I'll just wait until he leaves.

"Hello, Danni. Ah don't think ah'll be coming today."

"Are you sick, Rogue?"

"Ah'm a little… preoccupied."

"I hear someone shouting in the background. Who's that? Is it Remy?"

"It's nothing. Just the TV. Bye."

Who am I kidding? He's not leaving.

"Rogue, Remy called at y'r office. Danielle said y' took a day off. Open the door."

Suddenly, I don't hear anything anymore. I walk to the door. Still I don't hear him. Maybe he left. I go back to my room to catch up on some reading. In the evening, Remy calls me again. He left a message.

"Rogue, pick the phone up. Remy knows y'r dere, chere..."

I can't avoid him forever. He's bound to find me somehow.

He left another message after about half an hour.

"Chere, listen t' what Remy has t' say. Look, Remy will be dere no matter what y' say, mais Remy will go back to New Orleans if y' don't show up. If y' don't show up, it means Remy is no longer important t' y', et Remy will back down. Mais Remy hopes chere will turn up. Et… Remy bought a plane ticket. Remy will be leaving at eleven o' clock. That's when Remy's flight takes off. Chere, if y' don't show up, dis is de last goodbye, chere. Goodbye… and I love you."

Why am I crying? I can't keep on crying because of him. It's just not right. But he said 'I love you'. Not 'Remy loves you' but 'I love you'. What am I to do?
