"Dont- Don't do that!"

"What, this?" He kissed me again. Again!

"How are you DOING THAT?"

"I wanted to kiss you, so I did? I've missed you."

"So after almost five months, you think you can just show up on my door step and kiss me? Say that you've missed me and what? Now you want to be with me? Is that it?"

"Pretty much."

"It must have taken you so long for a reason."

"What does it matter? I'm here now chere."

"Don't call me that."

"And why not?"

"Because my boyfriend wouldn't like it." Bobby came rushing in behind me after Kitty ran to tell him that my ex boyfriend is at our front door. He grabbed him with ice fists and I had to intervene, "Bobby, stop."

"Stop?"

"Bobby is your boyfriend? Really Anna? Guess I shoulda seen dis one comin." Remy grabbed Bobby's grip as his hands began to glow a purple-ish hue.

"Both of you just stop bein ridiculous."

"Yeah, why would you fight over Rogue anyway?" Kitty chimed in as she returned to the scene.

"You go by Rogue now?" Remy looked at me and smiled at the nickname he gave me years ago.

I ignored Remy and focused on Bobby's anger, "Remy here just got lost."

"He kissed you."

"Yeah and maybe if you would stop listenin to your gossipy ex girlfriend you would be able to be an adult about this. I didn't kiss him back! He just took me by suprise is all."

"Fine whatever." Bobby and Remy both let their guards down.

"Yeah calm down. I was just giving the fille here a lil hello."

"By kissing her! How is that even possible?"

"It doesn't matter," I answered. "Remy you need to shut up now and while you're at it ride that motorcycle all the way back to Louisiana."

"Nah, I think I might stick around here for a bit. A while back I was invited to join your lil X-men too yah know."

"I think you would be a great addition to our team!" Kitty offered, "You know since you're gonna be in New York for a bit I would be happy to give you a tour around the mansion and maybe even go on a little date later on in the city tonight." How pathetic.

"As long as my friend, Rogue, doesn't mind."

"No, I don't care." I honestly didn't. If he had come to New York a day after me, told me that he wanted to be with me... this would be a different story. But after a month I gave up. A piece of me is so damaged I may never recover, I lost a piece of myself. Remy may be choosing me now, but its too late.

"Then sure, I will take you up on your offer. You can call me Gambit." Nope, I am not going to let him get under my skin.

"Kitty, nice to officially meet you." She smiled and glared at me at the same time if that is even possible. Remy and Kitty enteredt the mansion as I got ready for Bobby's drama.

"You didn't know he was coming?"

"I think if I knew I would have told you!"

"Why is he here? He can't possibly just be in New York to become an X-man."

"He said he missed me."

"Are you kidding me? After five months?" Bobby had every right to be confused just as I was. This was happening too fast.

"Exactly. You know Remy and I never dated. I don't know why you are getting so jealous."

"Because I know that you're in love with him."

"Was. I was in love with him."

"Hey, are you okay?"

I was on the floor of the bathroom crying my eyes out and of course Bobby has to walk in. Its only been a month since I came to the mansion and I'm already losing it. "Yeah, I'm fine."

"I don't think you're fine. You're in the guys bathroom, crying at one o'clock in the morning."

"Thank you. Thanks for pointin that out."

"Whats wrong?"

"I never cry! And it is pissin me off that I am. That I'm getting so... low. That Danger Room trainin is stupid! I can't do what you guys do. I can't move things with my mind or shoot ice out of my hands. I should just be left alone on a deserted island."

"You'll get the hang of it soon."

"Not to mention that from day one Kitty has hated me! I don't know if I can do this. I don't know if its worth it."

"Thats probably my bad..."

"What?"

"I think Kitty thinks there is something going on between us since I brought you here."

"Is she like your girlfriend or somethin?"

"Ex. Ex-girlfriend."

"I feel so alone here and your ex-girlfriend isn't helpin. I left my friends from Louisiana and... I miss them." Maybe I should never have left. Remy and I would forget about the stupid kiss and we could all be best friends again. I miss having someone to talk to. Am I really that lonely?

"Like Remy?"

"I told him that I loved him! What kind of idiot am I!"

"You haven't talk to him since?"

"Nope."

"Everything happens for a reason I guess. Maybe its better that he isn't here. He is the idiot Rogue for not chasing after you."

"You're right."

"And those feelings just go away?"

"Yes, they went away Bobby. Why is that so hard to understand. Grow up and stop bein so jealous."

"Grow up? Are you kidding me!"

"You know I wasn't even going to mention this but earlier in the Danger Room Kitty hinted that you weren't broken up when you said you were."

"What do you mean?"

"When we got together you said you had been broken up with Kitty for four months. Why does she think otherwise?"

"Because... we still... we were still having sex." Of course they have had sex. I never really thought about Bobby's level because I knew he and I could never... you know. Not that I want to, not that I can. But what am I doing in a relationship? Bobby makes me laugh and I never thought we'd be anything to serious so where did all this come from?

"So you guys were still friends with benefits before you broke up for good? Or did you ever break up for real?"

"No we did break up for real!"

"But you didn't act like it. I have never lied to you Bobby."

"I didn't lie!"

"You didn't? Really?"

"Yeah, I'm sorry that I didn't dibulge that to you but you never like to hear about my relationship with Kitty so I just thought I'd-"

"Leave it out? She had real feelings for you and you messed with her head. She seems to think you never really broke up. And you know what, you're right. I don't care about you and Kitty. What I do care about is that... you have physical needs and so do I! I just can't do anything about mine okay? Its not in the cards for me. Can you accept that? Can you accept that Remy is here? What do you want me to do!"

"Tell him to leave!"

"That won't work." In fact that might make him want to continue to do the opposite. And maybe a part of me wants to know the truth. Why he took so long to reach my doorstep... if he could still be my friend even though... "And I shouldn't have to do that."

"You don't care that he kisses you? Of course you don't! You don't care how much this upsets me!"

"I know its upsetting but if you just RELAX you'd realize that you're being an idiot right now!"

"I'm the idiot? If I'm such an idiot than why are you even dating me? I'm suprised you didn't run into Remy's arms and skip off into the damn sunset!"

"I don't want to be with him!"

"Well, you must not want to be with me either."

"Are we literally breaking up over this fight? Remy walks through the door and you do exactly what he wants you to do!"

"This is stupid!"

"You're stupid!"

Wow, we really just had the 'You're stupid, no you are...' fight.

When I saw that Bobby didn't show up to dinner, neither did Kitty or Remy for that matter, I went up to my room. I laid on my bed for what seemed like hours. I was adjusting to my new life here just fine until Remy showed up.

I care. I care that he is out with Kitty right now and that Bobby is mad at me for... I don't even know what we were really fighting about! Remy, us, everything, nothing. So I just laid there staring at the ceiling fan until a visitor arrived.

"So, I was going to come in through your window like old times but Logan saw me outside and ruined my plan. He don't seem very nice."

"He isn't."

"You know, I was never really gonna go out wit Kitty chere."

"Mhm..."

"She just took me around de mansion. Pretty sweet place you got here."

I stayed quiet, not really knowing what to say so I thought it'd be best not to say anything at all.

"Alright, you ain't to pleased to see me. I'll give you some space. The Professor set me up with a room just down the hall so-"

"Don't leave." Why did I say that? Because its the truth. I missed my best friend and I wanted him next to me.

"Don't leave?"

"Come lay down with me."

"Okay..." I became stiff after noticing he wasn't being cautious as he positioned himself next to me. "Whats wrong?"

"You have to be careful. I don't want us to accidently touch."

"I kissed you two times today. I could kiss you again to prove that we don't have to be careful." My head was on his chest and my leg was draped over his torso. I lifted my chin slightly so that he could kiss me. It was like Remy had no oxygen left in his lungs as I was filled with jumbled pictures of life back in Louisiana while I was gone. "That... sucks."

"Headache..."

"How come I could kiss you before?"

"I don't know."

He sighed as he brought my body closer in to his. My body was wrapped in his arms as he said, "I've missed you. You're hair is longer."

His fingers combing through my hair was so distracting. It felt so good. But I couldn't forget what was really going on, "Why are you here? After so long..."

"I wanted to follow you de moment you left chere. I just... Bella never did anyt'ing wrong you know? It was my fault dat we were even together. At first I went out with her to see your reaction... to make you jealous. But it didn't work. I didn't know you felt dat way about me. Bella and I became comfortable and we were all friends..."

"I know..."

"Ever since the shooting she knew somet'ing was going on. Somet'ing was different between us and we ended it."

"So she doesn't know about me?" Thats good. Because Remy is right, Bella was my friend and I knew she had high hopes for their relationship. I couldn't hurt her like that.

"I t'ink its obvious dat you left and now I'm gone but I didn't tell her about the kiss. I'm sorry it took me so long."
