A/N: I'm very sorry for the long awaited update. I'm in the process of buying a home, and it has taken up all my spare time. I figured I'd get another one of these popped out before settlement so I can't use moving as an excuse to put off updating. Will try for another next week!
Remy looked down in his arms, watching his angel sleep. How could things have gotten so mixed up so soon? He knew they had feelings for each other but he didn't know if they were true. Sighing Remy began to shift underneath Anya, he was planning on slipping out but Anya's hand tightening on his shirt stopped him. He wondered if she had woken up but looking down at her he realized she hadn't moved an inch. Remy shifted her into a position so that when he stood up he could easily pick her up.
He moved to the head of the bed where he pushed the blankets down and laid her softly onto the pillows. Slowly he covered her up, tucking her in gently. Anya immediately rolled onto her side and Remy couldn't resist. Slipping out of his shoes and into Anya's bed Remy curled his body around hers. Remy's arm went around Anya and his hand rested on top of hers. "Goodnight Chere." Remy delicately kissed Anya's bare neck then closed his eyes.
The next morning: Anya awoke to a strange sensation, one she had never felt before. Slowly she stretched her slightly aching body, first her toes and legs then her arms. Stretching out caused her to rub against something warm and hard. She felt a hand tightening on her stomach, causing her to freeze. Slowly her own hand slipped down on top of the one on her abdomen. She felt the hand twitch beneath hers as she slowly traced her way back to the source. A small grunt had Anya slipping out of the warmth and turning around. Her eyes widened in surprise as red on black orbs locked on her own. "Remy?"
"Well, Chere, Remy has to admit he t'inks you have never looked better." Remy winked at Anya as he spoke. Anya looked confused before glancing around. Her eyes stopped on the mirror located opposite the bed, above where her dresser resided. She took in her wild sleep tussled hair and her half nakedness. "Remy! Stop looking!" Anya yelled as she quickly ducked inside her bathroom. "Now Chere, that isn't what you were asking Remy to do last night." Remy's voice had a joking hint to it, one that Anya did not seem to pick up. "Ah did what?"
Anya slowly opened the bathroom door, her body now wrapped in a terry cloth robe. The robe barely covered Anya's short shorts as she moved lithely around the room. Her eyes were slightly red, a hint of tears to come. "Chere, Remy was just joking, he didn't mean a t'ing by it. Remy just got you into bed, but you got hot. Too drunk to get your clothes off, so Remy helped just a bit. You,…you fell on Remy and he couldn't leave, so he laid down with you." Remy gave her the best innocent smile he could muster. "Alright Remy, ah believe yah. Thank yah for helping meh to muh room." Anya smiled as she leaned down to kiss Remy's cheek. "Ah'm gunna get a shower Remy, yah know yer way out." She paused on her way to the bathroom. "Can ah meet you for breakfast in twenty?" Anya looked too hopeful for Remy to say anything but yes. "Sure Chere, gives Remy enough time to get back to his room and shower too. Remy will see you soon."
As Remy stood up off the bed, he looked at Anya as if he had something he wanted to say. Slowly a grin came across his face as he shook his head. "Remy was being serious chere. You look très beau when you just wake up." Anya's face turned red as she tried to think of a witty come back. She found none, but saw she didn't need it. When she turned around Remy was gone. With a slight shrug of her shoulders she disappeared back into her bathroom. Remy was on the other side of the bedroom door, glad she hadn't followed after to shout something at him as Rogue would have done. A smile graced his lips as he turned and left to head back to his own room.
About twenty minutes later in the dining room: Anya came down the stairs wearing something more modest this evening. She was wearing a regular pair of blue jeans with a simple red spaghetti strap. She looked around the room to spot Remy getting some coffee. He was wearing a white beater and blue jeans. His thief's trench was missing, but Anya thought he looked just as good without it. It added a bit of mystery to Remy, and this felt as if he wasn't going to hide anything from her. She quickly strutted her way over to the coffee and Remy. As he finished stirring his coffee he looked up. A low whistle left his lips as he watched Anya dress her own coffee. "See something yah like sugah?" Anya joked as she brushed her shoulder against his own.
"Chere, Remy doesn't see somet'ing he likes, cause he likes everyt'ing." The deep purr of his voice had shivers running down Anya's spine. A small blush graced her pale cheeks as she looked into Remy's eyes. "Now Sugah, don't go sayin' something like that, a girl might just get the wrong idea." Remy grasped Anya's free hand and brought it to his lips. "Remy has so many ideas involving you chere." The hint of red on Anya's face was now blaring like a furnace. She was stopped before she could even respond.
"Hey Anya, there you are! I've been looking all over for you. Are you ready to hit the town with the Iceman?" Bobby called as he closed in on the duo. "Hey Bobbeh, ah actually have plans to go out with Remy again tonight." Anya tone was apologetic. Bobby slowed his steps as he took in Anya's hand still within Remy's. "I'm not interrupting something between you two am I? I'll back off if I am." Bobby's brows furrowed together as he glared at their joined hands. Remy reluctantly let go as he leaned in to whisper in Anya's ear. "Remy'll let you two talk. Come find Remy when you done chere, then we can talk about dese plans we have for tonight."
Remy turned and left, leaving Anya to face Bobby alone. "Bobbeh, ah'm sorry. Ah really don't know what's going on between meh and Remy, but Ah'm trying to figure it out." She shrugged as she took a sip of her coffee. Bobby smiled. "Well, you'll need some comparison to truly figure it out Anya. Come out with me tomorrow. I'll show you a great time." Bobby's smile was so nice and warm Anya gave in. "Sure Bobbeh, we can do something tomorrow." She smiled warmly back at Bobby before turning to find Remy. He sat at a table not too far away.
"What is da matter chere? You're upset." Anya sighed as she sat down. "Ah agreed to go out with Bobbeh tomorrow night. Ah don't know why, he's just so persistent." Anya laid her head in her hands as she looked at Remy. Remy had an evil smirk on his face. "Remy can always steal you away chere. Just call and Remy will come." Anya smiled as she leaned over and popped a kiss on Remy's cheek. "Thanks Remy, ah'll feel bettah knowing you're there to save meh if needed."
Anya took a small sip of her coffee as she took a look around. Remy kept his eyes on her face until she turned to look at him. "What's the mattah Remy, do ah got somethang on muh face?" Remy laughed as he swept a small piece of unkempt hair back from her face. "Not'ing Chere, Remy was just wondering when you were going to tell him about tonight." Anya's face turned a complimentary shade of red as she averted her eyes. "Ah was hoping we could go out again tonight. Ah want to see a movie. Ah wanted my first time to be with yah Remy." Remy's heart skipped a beat as he looked her dead in the face. "Chere, you just said de words every guy is dying to hear. Come on, let's get an early start today, we can go and have some fun." Remy grinned as he took Anya's hand and led her towards the garage.
A/N Oh my! What was that? Remy is openly flirting with Anya! Does that mean things are going to get heated soon? This is an m-rated fic... Tee-hee.
