Chapter 3: A Night to Remember

They get back to Remy's apartment after stopping by where she had parked her bike, and to rogue's surprise it is very nice. It's a small studio apartment but he has made the best of it. A nice big comfy looking coach in front of what had to be fifty inch screen TV. The bed was a king size with a very comfy look to it too. The drapes by the windows and the balcony doors where a crimson color that matched Remy's eye while the walls where a comforting cream color. It was better then she thought it would be.

"This is amazing Remy." She walks over to the coach and lies down. "Ah'm goin' to make sweet sleep to this coach tonight." She smiles at him and then notice the look on his face. "What's wrong?"

"Well chéri, if you think you are sleeping on ta coach ya are mistaken. Remy will not allow that." He smiles at her then as he walks over and lifts her small frame up with easy off the coach and carries her to the bed. He lies her down gently into it. "This is where ya belong."

Rogue almost started to argue with him but the bed was very comfy. More so then she had ever thought. But she could not kick him out of his own bed. It was then that she feel him lie down next to her. "What are ya doing?"

He kicks off his boots and continues to lie there. "Goin' ta sleep, chéri. The bed is plenty big enough for us both." He smiles at her. "Ya afraid Remy get to close, non?"

"What da ya think! One wrong move and ya could be dead!" Rogue yells as she hopes up from the bed and gives him a death glare.

"Remy has it all figures out. You stay under the sheet and Remy stays above it. It's that simple chéri." He smiles at her. "I know you would never hurt me on purpose. I trust you Rogue."

Her fears are washed away with thoughts words and how serious he was. And the fact that he used her name and did not talk in the third person left her wordless. It took her a few minutes to gather herself and then quietly speaks, "Thank ya. Remy, ah just don't want ta lose ya. Ah…" She stops as she feels a tear roll down her face. "Ah never though anyone would not be afraid of me. Yet here ya are, not afraid of anything. Do ya really love me that much? You would really risk death just to hold me?"

"Oui, chéri."

Remy's answer pushed her over the edge then as tears stream down her face. It was something she has always wants. Something she had always dreamed of and read about in her romance novels. Real true love, and until now she didn't think Remy loved her like that.

Remy quickly hopes out of the bed and over to Rogue. "Are ya ok chéri?"

She answers him by wrapping her arms around his waist and cries into her chest. He wraps his arms around her as he gently strokes her hair. She looks up into his crimson eye and smiles then. It is the most beautiful and pure smiles Remy has ever seen from her.

"Ah'm fine. And Remy, I take back every bad thing I have ever said about you." She laughs and continues, "Well almost everything. I love you, swamp rat."

She releases him from her arms and slips out of his. She walks over to her bag and pulls out her sleep wear. "Ah be right back. Where is your bathroom at anyways?"

Remy smiles and points to a door on the other side of the bed. "Right through that door."

Rogue walks into the bathroom and gets changed into her sleep wear, which is a tank top and basketball style shorts. When she walks out she is stopped dead in her tracks. Remy was just finishing stripping down for bed. He was standing there in nothing but his boxers and rogue could not look away.

Sure she has seen him in his swimming shorts, but something about this was different. He smiles when he sees her lack of movement and her eyes locked on him. "Like what you see chéri?"

Rogue snaps out of it finally but decides to just go with it. "Ah always have." She smiles back at him. It was the truth though. From that first fight where he handed her an exploding card, to when he kidnapped her and left her with the queen of hearts, to now. He always had a body she wanted to see, though she never admitted to it before.

Remy laughs and pulls back the blanket off the bed, it is a hot night, and lies down on top of the sheet. He pulls back that sheet for Rogue to come lie down. Rogue walks over and lies down on her side as Remy lays the thin sheet over her along with his arm. She feels the warmth of his body against her back his as he pulls her tight against his chest.

It was sure a great sensation. It was the closest anyone has ever been to her, and she loves it. She feels comfy and safe and not afraid of anything in the world. She longed for this night to never end now, but she know it would end far too soon.

They laid there with her in his arms all night sleeping peacefully. Rogue didn't have any nightmares for the first time in a long time. When she woke, she was saddened to find that Remy was not holding her anymore. He was not even in the bed. She quickly sat up in fear that something had happened, until she could smell breakfast cooking.

"Remy's sorry. He didn't mean to wake you." He smiles at her as he cooks still in nothing but his boxers.

Rogue sighs in relief. "Ah forgot ya are an early riser. Why is that any ways, sugar?"

Remy laughs as he hears her south charm starting to come out of her. "Sugar is Remy now?"

Rogue laughs as she thinks back to growing up and hearing it used in the same way. She did not have many good memories as a kid, but that was one of them. Rogue stands up out of bed and stretches as she walks over to the table where Remy sits down a plate of food.

"It's because of Remy's powers. Remy is always full of energy and does not need much sleep. Though I did enjoy holding you in my arms all night, chéri." Rogue blushes as she sits down and picks up her utensils to eat.

She starts to eat when Remy sets down a small box in front of her. She eyes it as she finishes her food, then looks to Remy, "What's this?" She points to the box with her fork. "It had better not be a ring." She smiles at him only half joking.

"Remy got you something to remember him while you're gone." He smiles as he watches her open it up."

Her eyes grew wide as she sees what is inside. It was a necklace with a small pendent. The pendent was just a rectangle from what she could tell but when she pulled it at to take a closed look at it, tears started to form in her eyes. It was a playing card, but not just any playing card. It was the queen of hearts.

"Now you will always have my lucky lady with you." Remy smiles as he takes it from her hand and helps her put it on. Rogue holds her hair back for him as the tears roll down her checks. She already knows that she will not be taking it off any time soon, especially since they will be parting ways soon.

She wipes her face clear of the tears and looks at Remy. "if ah could kiss you right now I would." She smiles as she stands up from the table to look at him. And not she hated herself, or more like her powers. The only thing she can do right now to show how much she likes the gift is smile and actually tell him. With him being bare chest and her in a tank top, she could not hug him tight or even kiss him like she wanted to so badly.

"Remy, ah don't want to leave now." Rogue tears up yet again. She cannot believe how emotional he makes her. "Ah love ya. But now I have to leave you all over again." She drops down onto her knees as she stars crying. She has never cried like this before. The next thing she knows, Remy's strong arms are wrapped around her and she is pressed tight into his chest. Fear washes over her because of so much exposed flesh, but nothing happens. She can feel his skin, and the heat of his body. A lot more heat than there was over the night. She opens her eye to see Remy glowing like one of his cards. Her eyes open wide in amazement.

"How are ya doing this?" Rogue looks at him worried he may blow up.

"Remy's not sure chéri. But it looks as if Remy can block your powers with mine." He looks down at her and smiles. His body starts to glow less, like it was losing charge. That is when he starts to feel her powers working and he quickly lets go of her. "Or at least slows it's effects." He breaths hard as she looks at him.

"Are ya all right?" Rogue looks at him worried. But then she realizes that she didn't get any memories. She tries to charge something, but cannot.

Remy looks at her and smiles, "Remy is fine chéri. But we should try that again." And before Rogue and argue it, he charges up his lips and kisses her. Rogue instantly kisses back. She has wanted this for so long now, but she knows they need to break apart soon. But still, it was better then she would have ever imagined. She thought he would have a smoky or ash taste to him since he is almost always smoking. But he didn't. She didn't know how to describe it other then heavenly.

They break off the kiss quickly though knowing they had to. They look deep into each others eyes. And with that they both stand and get ready to leave, knowing this is the last time they will see each other for a long time.

They stand outside next to their bike. They had not spoken in an hour. Rogue breaks that silence first, "Remy, ah love ya. And ah will be back for ya."

He stares into her emerald eyes as he speaks, ""Je t'aime, chéri. And Remy knows you'll be back. Make sure you call Remy and let me know you are ok." With that he leans over her bike to kiss her real quick. He then starts his bike and drives off before Rogue could see the how much is going to miss her.
