Chapter Thirteen.
A/N: Thank you to all my lovely reviewers, wow this is the most feedback I've gotten for any of my stories and I really, truly appreciate them. Speaking of reviews, I'm trying to plug some for my one-shots, so if you haven't' read them yet, I ask you to please, please do. I'm trying to decipher on whether I should expand on any of them so I need more reviews from you guys please. Anyways, I'm updating as fast as I can because I'll be going away for a little while - don't worry it's not yet though - so there won't be any updates for a while. But have no fear; I'll leave you guys with an update for all my stories:
Till Death Do Us Part...
Deadly Betrayal.
To Find True Love, and of course this one,
Will It Be Me?
And that's why I also need you guys' advice on the one-shots.
Well hope you enjoy this chapter as you have the others.
I don't own X men Evolution, nor do I own the song 'Drowning'. Sadly it belongs to the guys - Brian, Aj, Howie Kevin and Nick.

Kitty brought a finger up to her lips and furrowed her brows. She stared at Pietro in confusion, shaking her head slightly.
Pietro on the other hand was quite taken back by this action, - *what was I thinking?* - but he couldn't help but feel no regret. He blew lightly, rising to his feet, trying to ease the tension between them with a smart remark...
"Well Sleeping Beauty is always awaken by a kiss, is she not?" He said to her innocently.
Kitty looked at him incredulously nodding her head, a bit unsure of what to think.
"Did I make a mistake?" He asked her anxiously, to draw an answer from her.
She just nodded again, this time whispering a simple, "I don't know."
Pietro sighed as his gaze fell to the floor, his mind running on what a huge mistake he may have just made. He shoved his hands into his pockets and walked over to the CD shelf, a mischievous glint in his eye. He then glanced back at Kitty, whose head was still bent , her thoughts very far away.
He slipped in a cd and turned on the player, and wandered over to Kitty. "Um... since we both kind of missed the dance... Miss Pryde, will you please do me the honour?" He bowed courteously and held his hand out to her as the intro to Backstreet Boys' 'Drowning' began to play in the background.
Kitty smiled half-heartedly, a bit hesitant, chewing on her lower lip.
"I can't ask anyone else Kitty!" He smiled jokingly.
*~* Don't' pretend you're sorry
I know you're not.
You know you got the power
To make me weak inside *~*
Kitty got up slowly and took his hand, Pietro in turn drawing her closer to him. She resolved to herself then and there that it was alluring being in his arms, she felt so warm and safe - Pietro tighting his grip around her.
*~* And girl you leave me breathless
But it's okay
Cause you are my survival
Now hear me say *~*
Kitty gently rested her head on his chest and closed her eyes. This was more than she could have hoped for, more than she had dreamed of.
*~* I can't imagine life without your love
And even forever don't seem like long enough
Cause every time I breathe I take you in
And my heart beats again
Baby I can't help it
You keep me drowning in your love.
Every time I try to rise above
I'm swept away by love
Baby I can't help it
You keep me drowning in your love *~*
Pietro placed his chin on top Kitty's head, breathing in her intoxicating aroma, and began singing along with the words softly... (A/N - Pietro sings a lot in this fic, doesn't he?)
*~* Maybe I'm a drifter, maybe not
Cause I am only safe dear, flowing freely in your arms
I don't need another lifeline; it's not for me
Cause only you can save me, oh can't you see
I can't imagine life without your love
And even forever don't seem like long enough *~*
"Pietro?" Kitty whispered softly.
"Yeah Kit?" He breathed into her hair.
She gently removed herself from her current position, despite the conformability. She stared longingly into his large azure eyes, her voice soft ... "I have to be honest with you."
Pietro's eyebrows creased.
*~* Cause every time I breathe I take you in
And my heart beats again
Baby I can't help it
You keep me drowning in your love.
Every time I try to rise above
I'm swept away by love
Baby I can't help it
You keep me drowning in your love *~*
"Pietro I..." she gazed at him intently.
*~* Go on and pull me under
Cover me with dreams, yeah *~*
Kitty's heart tugged at her to tell him the truth, to tell him everything. She hastily diverted her eyes away from his for but a brief moment and searched for the right answer. She then quickly found one.
... ...
She couldn't tell him. No matter how much she ached, how much every fibre of her being electrified every time she saw him, every time he came near her. No matter how much she wanted his love, wanted him to love her back - she just couldn't do it. She couldn't do that to Rogue.
*~* Love me mouth to mouth now
You know I can't resist
Cause you're the air that I breathe *~*
Kitty's eyes locked with Pietro's once again. "I... um..." the tears threatened to prick her eyes, her heart like a hollow tube, "nothing," she whispered. "Never mind, it's not important."
*~* Cause every time I breathe I take you in
And my heart beats again
Baby I can't help it
You keep me drowning in your love.
Every time I try to rise above
I'm swept away by love
Baby I can't help it
You keep me drowning in your love *~*
As the song neared its finish, the tears that threatened Kitty to spill before were now at the surface. Pietro looked at her with deep concern and affection, admiring every bit of her beauty. A strange feeling began to emanate within him, having smelled her strawberry scented hair and bubble gum lip gloss. He desperately wanted to taste her again.
*~* Baby I can't help it *~*
Pietro leaned in closer, rapidly breaching the gap between them. "Kitty I..." he murmured huskily,
*~* You keep me drowning in your love *~*
Their lips brushed lightly yet again. Just as they were about to deepen the kiss, they heard the doorknob rattle and bolted apart from each other.
*************************************************
Rogue walked into the mansion, lethargically dragging her feet. She matter of factly threw a glance towards the living room and saw Kitty and Pietro, shifting around uncomfortably. She waved a hand weakly...
"Hey Kit. Hey Pietro," continuing her trek to her bedroom.
Kitty furrowed her brows and looked at the clock - it was 1:30 am. *Oh my gosh! I had like no idea it was so late! The Professor will be home any minute with Ororo and... Logan! If he catches Pietro here he'll...* Her mind then wandered back to Rogue. Where on earth had she been? Who was she with? Why didn't she offer an explanation? She then glanced at Pietro, who stood at her side blowing lightly, running a hand through his hair. With her mouth set in a determined expression, she raced out the living room just in time to see Rogue bounding the last few steps. She yelled out to her.
"Rogue! Like where have you been?"
She stopped short. "Ah'm not in the mood Kitty. Ah'll explain to yuh tomorrow but right now ah really need to crash," the goth girl started back up the stairs.
"But Rogue?" Kitty asked frustratedly. Pietro had heard the girl's pleas and rushed to her side.
"Not now Kitty!" She waved a hand at her.
"What about the dance? Did you like forget you were supposed to go with Pietro? He was here waiting for you all night!" Kitty yelled again but to no avail, for the other girl had already turned the corner.
Kitty sighed, muttering a "she's impossible!" Pietro in turn just shrugged.
