A/N: Hey thanks for the rockin' reviews, as always how much encouragement they give me is indescribable. I hope you keep em coming! This story has proved to be my most successful and I'm personally gratified. Hey have you guys guessed who Rogue has gone to meet?

Pietro stood near the entrance separating the hallway from the living room, watching Kitty as she closed the door slowly - if he didn't know any better, he would have thought she was stalling or something.
Kitty sucked in another deep breath, as she slowly turned around and caught Pietro staring at her. She tightly shut her eyes - *please let this go alright* she thought to herself as she sauntered up to him. She nervously bit on her lower lip intentionally avoiding his gaze. She cleared her throat...
"I've been instructed to tell you master Pietro that your date for this evening has stepped out, " she gave a small curtsy and an innocent smile. Kitty then quickly added, "but I believe her exact words were, " she bit her lip again and squinted as if trying to recall something, " tell Pietro not to worry, I'd be back soon."
He smiled amusingly. Pietro's eyes glanced towards Kitty's arm, which made her wince slightly. He caught sight of that minor detail.
"I'm sorry Pryde, I didn't mean to stare. Um... how's your arm?" He shoved his hands in his pockets, leaning against the entrance frame casually.
She made a face. "The swelling's gone down a lot and it doesn't hurt as much either. I'll be back at school on Monday... unfortunately."
Pietro gave her a dashing smile... "you don't want to go back to school?"
"Honestly... no. School is just so... just so... blah." She stuck her tongue out with that comment.
He cocked a brow at her. He had to admit that she did look really cute in her ¾ length combats, white tank top and addidas trainers. Her hair was in a loose ponytail, with whips falling gracefully at the front, which framed her face perfectly. He soaked in her hourglass figure and admired her delicate facial features; she was indeed an angel.
*Oh how I wish to be near you?* Pietro shook his head slightly and blinked a couple of times, surprised by his words. His eyes fell to the ground, as he tried to get Kitty out of his mind...
"I'm like so rude. You wanna sit down?"
Pietro's head snapped up. "Huh?"
"I asked if you wanted to sit down? You might as well since you're waiting for Rogue anyways." She explained nonchalantly.
He nodded in acceptance and they both headed for the couch.
***********************************************************
The pair sat on the couch in complete silence, neither of them acknowledging or rather wanting to acknowledge each other's presence. Kitty pressed the play button on the DVD player and anxiously absorbed herself in the movie, while Pietro just watched on with interest. He frowned.
"Pryde, what are you watching?"
See turned to him in disbelief. "You've never seen Spirit?"
"Spirit what?"
"Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron."
"I'm not really into cartoons Pryde. I'm more of a reality type guy - now I know why you're such a hopeless dreamer." He snickered.
"How dare you? You don't know anything about me!" She scowled at him.
"I know that it's really sad when a 15 year old girl occupies most of her times watching cartoons."
"So I'm like supposed to watch something that rots my brain - preferably something with a gun or a girl in a bikini on the cover." She spat back.
"At least when you're watching it you're guaranteed NOT TO FALL ASLEEP!" His voice rising slightly.
"It's my house Pietro I can watch whatever I want!" Kitty's face turned a slight shade of red.
"I just think that..."
"Well you know what Pietro? You like shouldn't think! Can we just sit here and not say anything to each other, please?"
"Well fine Pryde, whatever you want!"
"Fine!" She shouted.
"Fine!" He shouted back.
"And another thing - I would greatly appreciate it if you would stop calling me Pryde? My mother was kind enough to give me a first name and it's Kitty... Kitty. And if you can't manage to use it I suggest you don't speak to me... ever again." She crossed her arms angrily.
Pietro sat there in awe, totally taken back by the fire such a small person held. He admired it somewhat; she was a strong person but never really showed it. He wondered why. He also wondered why he had never taken the time to get to know her better, why he always brushed her aside as someone who was uninteresting and... well to say it plainly... ditzy. He furrowed his brows and stared at her intently.
Kitty noticed out of the corner of her eye that Pietro was staring at her. She felt the butterflies do a little dance inside her stomach but quickly dismissed it. It took all the will power she had not to confess her feelings for him then and there but what good would that do? He was with Rogue. And although she did like him a lot, the still fact remained that he was still staring at her, studying her every move and it was making her feel very uneasy.
She abruptly turned to face him, "why are you staring at me?"
He smiled. "Was I staring Pryde? I didn't notice."
"Urgh, sometimes you can be the most irritating..."
He shifted closer to her. "Sometimes? How do you know what I'm like at other times?" His voice lowered a bit.
She swallowed hard and tried to keep those nagging butterflies down again. "I... I was just making a general statement."
"Were you really?" He asked her questionly.
"Yes... yes I was." She moved away from him, flicked off the tv and shot up, quickly stalking out the room and towards the kitchen.
Pietro raised a brow and smiled... *This is getting interesting.* He promptly got up and headed for the kitchen.
***********************************************************
Kitty stood in front of the refrigerator, letting all the cold air numb her body. *Okay what is going here? I can't do this! Rogue is my best friend and Pietro's her... What is he? And where does he get off saying those things to me? He doesn't even know me! He doesn't even like me! Why should he care who I am and what I watch?* She sighed. *He just thinks I'm some stupid little dreamer incapable of getting what she wants out of real life and so has to resort to fantasy. He's right... I'm hopeless.*
Pietro strode quietly into the kitchen, observing Kitty as she stood in front the refrigerator. He smiled wickedly and walked up to her gently sliding his arms around her petite waist. She instantly tensed.
"I'm sorry Kitty. I didn't mean what I said before."
"You didn't?" She choked out, much to her surprise.
He whispered softly in her ear... "no I didn't. Forgive me?"
"Um... sure." She breathed heavily.
"Relax Kit, I don't bite."
Pietro felt her body relax a little as she gently rested her back on his chest. He tightened his grip around her waist but was soon interrupted by a groan.
The two teenagers quickly spilt apart as if a jolt of electricity has passed between them and turned around to see a very angry Logan standing in the doorway.
"What do you think you're doing bub?"
