Chapter 7

(Hours before)

Gambit

That night was one of the worse night sleeps gambit has had, all he could do was think about her, Rogue, and how angry she was, he kept replaying the scene over and over again, he knew it was his fought yet he didn't know how he would make it up to her. As he sat up in bed he could see the brink of sunlight coming through his curtains, as he walked over and pulled the curtain he could see some street lights still on, when he looked at his clock the bright digital numbers said 5:30am, he knew everyone else would be asleep, so he crept downstairs and went in the kitchen, he walked over to a dark oak cupboard and pulled out a bottle of bourbon and poured himself a glass.

As he sat there drinking his drink he thought back to the first moment he saw Rogue, the battlefield, he remembered the way she looked at him, he could see right through her, and when he gave her that charged card and she took it he knew then that he would see her again, and he did but this time he heard her southern accent and it made him shiver, from then on he knew there was something about her he couldn't get his head over and he wasn't talking about her powers, he knew what they were and what they could do to someone like himself, but that's not thing that puzzled him the most, it was when she kissed him, although she was under control by mesmero but why did she kiss him, did it mean anything, he didn't know, so when he started to watch her he noticed how she lived her life and it made him intrigued.

He saw the fake smiles, the evil glares and above all the sad lonely girl who was crying out to be helped, all he wanted to do was help but how, if he got close it would blow his cover and he didn't need that, but when he got word of Jean Luc he knew what had to be done, although it was wring to use her but still he got to see the real Rogue the girl who didn't hide behind a mask who wouldn't close people off, but sadly that had ended when she found out why she was really here, but then why did she come back, guilt, he didn't know but he was glad she did, it made him smile the moment he saw her help him again, even when wolverine wanted to gut him then and there, but she stopped him, he was great-ful. From that day he knew he felt something for her but the question was, did she, obviously she didn't.

It made him feel sick to see Julian kissing her, when deep down he wished it was him, god he wants to kill that guy, fro everything, his family, the constant hatred between the guilds and for Rogue.

He didn't realise that he had charged his glass up and is shattered in his hand, but then again he didn't feel it, his emotion to feel pain had been blocked out with the thought of Rogue and someone else.

The hours past by and he could hear steering in the household, he decided there and then, that he had to do something, to work for Rogue, to show how sorry he was and to show her how much he cared and loved her, so without another second the day became a plan, to win Rogue's heart.

Rogue (Night)

The streets of Louisiana became dark but the street lamps would light the way there was a cold difference with the streets at night, they looked more presentable yet dangerous if you turned a wrong corner, as she stared from her window she felt butterflies in her stomach, she was going on a date with someone who she once fought with and is the enemy of someone shoe loves,

'Now isn't this a fairy tail story a girl always dreamed of.' she thought, she was already ready dressed in a black dress that came down to her knee' with a slit on the side going up to her thigh, it had no back, but had splashes of glitter here and there with spaghetti straps to hold it up, she was also wearing some black three inch stiletto's, her hair was up in a clip with loose strands and her white fringe covering her left eye, her make-up was flawless and she was wearing a pair of diamond earring's Kitty had got her for Christmas last year.

'Well here it goes.' she thought before she waited for her taxi to pick her up and drop her at the restaurant.

As she entered the well lit restaurant she saw Julian standing over by a pillar holding a single red rose, he came over to her and gave her the flower and ushered her to their table, being a real gentlemen he pulled her chair out for her, as she sat down she looked around the room, it was cosy and looked very expensive. When the waiter came over with the menu she looked down and she was right it was expensive, but hey if it turned out bad then at least he has to pay.

"So what shall you two being having this evening." said the waiter, notepad n hand.

Julian ordered first, "I shall have the pasta dish with the wine sauce and my lady friend her shall be having..." he looked at her and Rogue took her cue to answer.

"I shall have the Cajun spiced chicken with the cream dip please." she said with a smile

"Okay we shall be here shortly with your order." the waiter left the couple on their own in silence.

"Nice place, very tasteful." said Rogue with a hint of embarrassment on her face.

"Yes, it is, and if you don't mind me saying you look beautiful this evening." he smiled at her and drank some of the water from his glass (Yes there was water already on the table.)

"Thank you, I must say you look different it suits you." she smiled.

For half an hour they talked about the news, there family, friends and home towns, and basically their child hood, even through there dinner, when all was over the took their leave, but the night didn't end there, No, Julian took her to an open jazz club, she smiled and walked in, they found a table and sat down once they ordered they began their conversation again from where it left off.

"I must say though this night has gone pretty well." said Rogue, she looked at him and he smiled back, she couldn't believe this was the same Julian who wanted her dead some years ago well people do change.

"See, now this does indicate a second date." he smirked only to be playfully hit by Rogue, she saw Julian look in a certain direction, horror struck his face, she didn't know what it could be at first till she looked in his direction and noticed a group of men in the far corner, they had seen them and when Rogue looked closely she knew who it was and one word escaped her lips.

"Remy..."

Well what do you think about that then
