Mucho apologies! I had this done, but my internet connection decided that it wasn't going to work, so I couldn't upload it.

Thanks go out to Laceylou76 for adding this to her favorite stories and aiRo25 for not only adding this to her faves, but also for putting this in Story Alert. :) The awesomeness just keeps on comin'!

sofimac16: Are you now...? ;) Hehehehe.....

Madame Star: I quite agree, it is the best kind. XD Oh yes it shall!

Lucida Lownes: I think that the best part of any Romy is the bantering. That is always fun. :3

Chellerbelle: Ah, yes. The date. That was so much fun to write. And their little plot to get her to go shopping with them flopped. Love that, too! :) I am looking so forward to reading your next chapter.

Chica De Los Ojos Cafe: I believe that flirting is what Remy does best. She might exact a bit of payback, but the girls will survive. :D

xdreamernumbuhfour: I imagine she will, since Remy will probably take up flirting by phone. Haha! ;)

Jessie07: Hehehe....that is gonna be sooo much fun! XD

courtneykutie: Thank you! Hope you keep enjoying. :D

Team-JEdward2010: How true, how true. On all counts...lol! XD

roguelover321: You got it! =+)

scott has a pole up his ass: Hang on and see. Might not happen right away, but......;)

roguey21: Glad to see that you're back and you're enjoying this one. More fun on the way! XD

On Thursday, two figures stealthily make their way into the decidedly feminine room, decorated in shades of pink.

"So where do we put this thing?" Rogue whispers curiously.

"'Ow 'bout und'r 'er desk. Dis t'ing 'as a bon range, so we'll be able t' 'ear ev'ryt'in' dey say." Remy gives Rogue a devilish grin as he adheres the small microphone underneath Kitty's desk. The two share a conspiratorial look as he pulls a small black box out of his pocket.

"Okay, 'ere's y'r amplifier, s' y' c'n 'ear w'at's goin' on in de chaton's room. Dis switch 'ere turns it on an' dis button on de side is y'r volume." He stands over by the desk and they test it out. Voices in the hall alert them.

"Quick! We need ta get outta here before they get back." Rogue tugs on his sleeve and leads him back to her room. It turns out to be a false alarm, just some of the boys heading the other way.

"Didn' know y' were s' anxious t' be alone wit' me, cherie." Remy smirks flirtatiously.

Rogue rolls her eyes. "I'm not. I'm jus' takin' ya in here so ya can leave tha way ya came in."

"Why don' y' jus' admit dat y' wan' me?" He asks in a low tone as he moves closer to her.

"Why don'tcha get away from me, before ya end up in tha med bay?" She retorts threateningly.

"Might be wort' it t' get y' t' touch me." Now he is just inches from her face. Rogue's breath hitches in her throat. She's fantasized about this moment ever since she came back from New Orleans. His arms encircle her waist and just as her eyes close, the door is flung open, framed by an angry Logan.

"Gambit! I knew I smelled somethin' suspect in here." Logan snarls ominously as he unsheathes his claws.

Rogue steps in front of Remy. "I invited him here, Logan!" She whispers harshly as she motions for him to close the door.

"What's he doin' here, Rogue?" He questions her suspiciously. "And why didn't he come ta the front door like every other visitor that comes through here?" The glare is turned toward Gambit.

"Yeah, right! An' have him get greeted in tha same way ya jus' did? Sure Logan."

"There are rules ta be followed. You know that." He growls.

"Uh-huh, y'all wouldn' let Wanda come. I know it wouldnt've been any different with Gambit, even though there are no more Acolytes, I might add." Rogue informs him a tad facetiously.

"Rogue, he abducted you and then used you!" Logan argues in disbelief.

"Ta help him rescue his fatha an' he apologized." Rogue responds.

"He could've asked for help."

"An' would ya have let me go?" Rogue looks at him expectantly, already knowing the answer. "Neva min', I already know. Lemme make my point here an' now. I'm gonna keep seein' my friends wheneva and howeva I wan'. I'm old enough ta make my own decisions on who I wanna hang out with, an' ya ain' gonna change my min' on that. Y'all are jus' gonna haveta work it out with yaselves." Rogue crosses her arms and matches Logan's glare with a defiant one of her own.

"What do you have ta add ta this, Gambit?" Logan dares him.

"Jus' dat if I wan' t' see Rogue, den 'm goin' t'. Won' let y' o' anybody stop me." Remy states in a maddeningly calm voice, enraging Logan all the more. Logan advances menacingly toward him and Gambit smirks at him.

"Y' ev'r seen w'at a kinetic charge can do t' metal? It ain' pretty." He says idly as he gives Logan a challenging glance.

"Alrigh' ya two, knock it off! I don' wanna be attractin' tha attention of everyone else here." Rogue raises her voice as loud as she dares.

"Desole, cherie. I'll see y' t'morrow." He passes her a cheeky salute, then disappears out of her balcony.

"I don't like this, Rogue."

"Logan, rememba what ya said when I firs' joined? Ya asked me if ya'd earned my trust by now, or not. Well, now I'm askin ya tha same question. Do ya trust my judgment or not? Have I earned ya trust?" Rogue gazes at him intently.

"Ya got me with that one, Stripes. Whatever Prof says, I'll go along with it. Doesn't mean I have ta like it, though." He shoots her a dark look.

Rogue recounts the conversation with Professor to Wanda later over the phone.

"Yeah, he said that it was fine with him if I saw Remy as long as I was careful. Logan didn' like that too much."

"He's always been a bit overprotective where you're concerned. I've noticed that." Wanda replies.

"He's jus' gonna haveta stop it an' let me make up my own min. I like Remy." Rogue states firmly.

"I've noticed that, too." Wanda says teasingly. "So, did anybody else find out about your visitor this afternoon?"

"No, an' that's a miracle unto itself. Oh...they're meetin!" Rogue turns up the amp as the girls gather around the computer.

"Like, wow! Rogue's up to $275 and we still have til tomorrow evening to go." Kitty says in amazement.

"No, no, look Kitty! It just went up again. To...$300!" Jean replies in complete shock.

"What's the name on that bidder?" Jubes asks interestedly.

"Let's see....it's pokerface78." Amara informs the group.

Rogue laughs into her pillow. She had the amp where Wanda can hear it.

"That wouldn't happen to be a certain tall, good-looking Cajun, would it?" Wanda inquires slyly.

"Looks like he got in his daily bid." Rogue giggles.

"So, what do you think they're going to do with the money? Kitty's having payment transferred to her account, right?"

"Hmm...ya bring up a good point, Wands. We might haveta check inta that one."

"I'm sure that Remy would be more than happy to do that for you. By the way, Toad was going to bid on you until he saw how high the bids already were at that point." Wanda chuckles wickedly.

"Thank God for small miracles." Rogue shudders. "An' quit teasin' me about Remy."

"Why? I like how he always turns up wherever you go. It's about time you have a boyfriend."

"Now ya sound like them. Yeah, he's a boy an' a friend, but one and one don' always come out ta two."

"Aah...but I'm pretty sure that he thinks of himself as more than a friend." Wanda observes.

"I ain' gonna talk about this anymore. I'm gettin' a headache, so good night."

"Sweet dreams....about Remy." Wanda retorts lightly.

"Yeah, whateva." Rogue answers, but Wanda can't see the small grin on her face.

He might have relented with Rogue, but that doesn't mean he will with Gambit. ;D
