CHAPTER 6

"And what did you say?" Wanda asked her as she sipped her ice tea. After Rogue left Remy's room she had gone home, took a shower and called Wanda over. She wanted to call all the girls over, but she didn't want to deal with the added drama. She knew the only one she was able to call was Wanda because she was the less one to tell her how much she wanted Rogue to be with Remy, instead of Warren.

"Ah didn't," Rogue said as she looked down at her ice tea.

"So let me get this straight; you just walked off without saying a word." Rogue nodded still looking down at her tea.

"So… are you?" Rogue looked up at Wanda and saw her looking right back at her.

"Am Ah wha?" Rogue asked. Wanda gave her a "look" as her way of answering.

Rogue sighed. "Ah thought Ah was…"

"But?"

"But looking back at my relationship with Warren and Ah don't think Ah was ever truly happy with him. Not as happy Ah was with Remy. Ah mean seeing him again, having him so close… its like nothing has changed ya know? "

"Except you're married to another man," Wanda pointed out.

"Yeah,"

"So what are you going to do?"

"Ah can't. No matter how much Ah want to. I made a commitment to Warren. To be faithful…"

"But you don't think his being faithful to you?"

Now it was Rogue who gave Wanda the "look".

"Ah'm not stupid. Ah know that somethin is goin on."

"Have you confronted him on it?"

Rogue shook her head.

"Why?"

"Ah don't know."

"Rogue-"Wanda started, but stopped when they were both startled when music filled the air. Both women looked at their cell phones.

"It's mine." Wanda said as she answered the phone.

"Hey baby, what's up?" Wanda said with a huge smile on her face. Whatever Damon had said to her made her blush as red as the necklace she was wearing. Rogue chuckled.

"I'm with Rogue right now." Wanda waited for a moment, then.

"Damon!" Wanda exclaimed as she looked at Rogue with an apologetic smile and Rogue just nodded understanding.

"I'm on my way. Oh and Damon says "hi", by the way," Wanda says before giving Rogue a quick hug and headed for the door.

"We'll talk later!" Wanda called out to Rogue before she closed the door behind her.

NEW YEARS EVE

Rogue was waiting down stairs in a low cut dark green skin fitting gleaming dress. To say that Rogue looked hot as hell was an understatement. She had put on dark green eye shadow, curled her long eyelashes, a little blush, just a touch of lip gloss. She was wearing a beautiful green necklace that hung low, right in between her breast. It was a large green gem with small diamonds around the edge with matching earrings. Her black 3 inch high heels clicked impatiently on the shiny polished floor of their from Rogue's pacing.

"Where the hell is he?" Rogue wandered out loud. Rogue looked at her phone. 9:48. They were supposed to be at the restaurant almost two hours ago, and Warren still hadn't show up to the house.

"Ah swear if he's standin' meh up…" Rogue growled under her breath as she put the cell phone to her ear and waited for Warren to answer. It rang four times before Warren answered the phone.

"Hello?"

"Where the hell are ya, Warren? We were supposed to be a dinner two hours ago!" Rogue demanded. Rogue was beyond furious and knew that Warren could tell by the sound of her voice.

"Damnit! Look Rogue-"

"Don't ya fuckin' start! Ya promised meh that we were goin ta have dinner tonight! And it's almost New Years! Is this really how ya want ta spend it? Workin? We're in a marry Warren! We need ta talk about our problems and start treatin' this like a marriage instead-"

"What do you want me to say Anna? Huh? Sorry that I'm working on paying our bills? Giving us a life? Don't try to turn this-"

"Ya were the one that made meh quite meh job-"

"Job? Saving unthankful people who hate you, and putting yourself in constant life threatening places is a job? What kind of job is that Anna?" Warren demanded.

"The TEACHING job Warren! That's the job Ah was talkin bout! And policemen do it! Firefighters do it! So don't make it sound wrong for wanted to save people's lives!"

"I DON'T WANT A WIFE THAT I HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IF SHE'LL EVER COME HOM! Why don't you understand that?" Warren yelled into the phone.

"No you don't. You want one who will be a good little house wife and stay at home and do nothing but take care of her husband! That's what ya want!"

"That's what a wife does!"

"No ya stupid bastard, that's what a servant is!" Rogue screamed into her phone and throws it into the wall, smashing the poor thing into a billion pieces.

Rogue was so made that she was shaking. She couldn't think. All she wanted to do was go down to his office and… And what? Destroy it probably. But she thought otherwise. She didn't feel like spending New Year's Day in a jail cell.

She went upstairs and went to her closet and pulled out another phone. Jaz had complained about how she would always get pissed and break her phone, so she just bought twenty of them and hid kept them on so that way if she broke one, she'd just go and get another from her closet. She looked through her contacts and found the number she was looking for.

They answered on the second ring.

"Yes?"

"Remy? Are ya doin' anythin for New Year's Day?" Rogue asked him. Hoping he didn't. She really didn't want to spend the new year around her friends and have to explain why she wasn't out with her husband.

"Non, why? Remy thought Warren was takin' yo' out to dinner, it bein New Years and all."

"He, uh had to cancel. Something about work," Selfish asshole.

"Hmm. Why don' Remy take yo' out then. Yo' already dressed?"

"Yeah,"

"Give Remy yo' address so he can come and pick yo' up." She did.

"Got it. Be right over.

"Oh and Remy?"

"Oui Rogue?"

"Make sure yo' dressed nice."

"Always Petite. Always."
