The next day Rogue new Josh would come into wake her up because it was Saturday he always did on Saturdays. She just lay there and waited until he came to her trying to decide what it was she was going to say to him. What she was going to tell him. How she was going to brake up with him.
When she heard the knock on he door she felt like pulling the covers over her head and staying there. She groaned and mumbled its open towards the door. Only to clasp her eyes shut and then here the cheerful Josh come through the door.
"Morning! Babe wakie wakie!" carrying a metal tray with his powers full of breakfast. Breakfast in bed it was. He jumped on to the bed and Rogue just laughed ay his happiness. He leaned over to her to give Rogue a kiss when she noticed red lipstick on his shirt frowning she moved her head to the side so he caught her cheek not her lips, which he was aiming for. Only one woman in the Mansion wore that shade of lipstick and she wore it all the time so there was no doubt about it. And then she thought to herself that was exactly the same shirt he wore yesterday when they had met up to hang out. He was about to question her actions when she said.
"Oh did Betsy tell you about her night last night?" she leaned against her head bored with a black look on her face waiting for his answer. She was angry but waited until she knew for sure. "I mean seeing as you where her chaperone and all…" that's when she noticed him turn a pale white.
"Em she said something about having a good time yeah. Why?" he looked a bit confused when he asked her.
"Well seeing as she's been digging her claws into someone else's boyfriend I should hope so!" Said Rogue with a raised voice. He really was pale now.
"Rogue! Look it's not what you think…it was her! All her… honestly… I couldn't do anything…she made me!"
"Oh like she made you take her out of the mansion? But wait a minute that had been arranged for what two days now, like how she pulled you to do something you didn't want to do when you new what was gonna happen! How the hell could she have made you! " That was it Rogue pushed him off the bed and watched him fall on his ass. She got out of the bed watching him stand up like a coward.
"Rogue let me explain!"
"OKAY! Fuckin explain why the hell her lipsticks all over your collar! Explain why you lied to me! Explain your sorry ass out of this mister because you ant gonna be able to! Not in this life time!"
He sighed putting his hand on her face about to say sorry when Rogue gave him an uppercut to the face. Making him land right back on the flow. He was moaning in pain and all she could do was laugh.
"Go get miss Betsy to kiss it better for you because we are OVER! GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY ROOM! NOW!!!" he got up and ran out of Rogues room and right in to a curious Logan. He then ran off even faster after he got his bearing back.
"Fucking useless piece of fucking trash! Why the fuck did I ever fucking trust the fucking son of a bit-"
"What's with all the Fing and blinding Darling?" said Logan popping his head around the corner in to her room.
"Don't Fucking start Logan I'm not in the fucking mood!" turning around full speed to see his raised eyebrow.
"Touche!" he said putting his hands up in a kind of defence as he come into her room and shut the door behind him because he new that this wasn't the kind of thing that she wanted the others to hear and she new that he new that this wasn't the kind of thing that she want the others to hear by the kind of connection that was there when they looked in to each others eyes. They understood what was happening.
She sank straight on to her bed with a heavy sigh and covered her face with her arm Logan watched her and walked closer into the room grabbed her chair and then spun it around sitting on it by straddling it. She groaned and he laughed.
"Bad start to your day then." He chuckled to himself.
"He was cheating on me with Betsy" He then let out a whistle like sigh resting his head on the back of the back of the seat and said.
"He is a bit of a jerk I could of told you that much "
"Oh shut up Logan!" she growled at him. That's when he raised his eyebrow and then noticed what she was wearing. Shorts really short shorts and a tank top. All white. His mind started to wander as his eyes traced up her legs and then higher up her thighs racking over her stomach to her nicely shaped breast what he wouldn't give to be able to slid his hands up her legs and run his hands between them closed thighs and then up just that little bit higher to where he would -
What the fuck are you thinking Logan he told himself as he shook his head getting rid of the images that had now fastened in his mind.
"Its not like he was actually there for me anyways…" How long had she been talking for now? He lost count of the minutes. He was trying so hard not to think. He pulled himself together adjusting his jeans so it didn't hurt as much to stand up then grabbed her hands and pulled her up and pushed her into the bathroom.
"Wake yourself up and then start a new day, " He growled shutting the door and walking out of her room. He could have swore her sent had changed when he was listening to her talking…Walking down the stairs to the kitchen he needed coffee and he needed a big coffee now! Once he was in the kitchen every one of the new recruits in there went silent and he saw Betsy holding an ice pack to Joshes chin and wanted to laugh. He had taught her well…Well maybe she had taught herself well. Everyone else where either laughing or talking very quietly.
Rogue closed her bathroom door and leaned on it. God he was so fucking hott pure muscle and just wow ness. She had felt the way he had looked at her it had made her very turned on which was weird. Wolverine turned her on. She thought to herself No one had ever looked at her like that before. Yes the boys that had looked at her had lust but his eyes said something else she couldn't read. His eyes where wild!
But be all and end all she was still pissed off but decided that she would take that out on someone later not now. Now she was going to have a shower and it was going to refresh her. Just like the big bad wolf had said to start a new day.
She had managed to avoid Josh all day as well as Betsy, she wondered though if Logan was the one who was avoiding her because she hadn't seen him since that morning when he practically threw her in the bathroom. She was happy she hadn't seen them; happy she had agreed to go to the mall with Jubs and have dinner there. She was happy that Remy was there to tell her what she looked nice in, even if it was everything she tried on. That's what she needed; she needed to know that she had friends when she needed them. She hadn't told them they had guess when Rogue said yes to going shopping without a fight yet neither pushed the subject. Both knowing that Rogue was a ticking bomb and right now she was probable on the count down from 10.
They had finally come home at 8 when the mall closed carrying arms full of bags; correction Remy was carrying arms full of bags. They had spent fortune and it was quite shocking to Rogue especially as she actually had fun for once. She realised her danger room session started in half an hour but so she got dress straight away once she reach her room. All the X-men now had there own custom made uniforms because the Professor had gotten so sick of everyone complaining about the standard leather uniforms. Hers where leather trousers and a leather vest top that was high up so it showed off her stomach shed would wear gloves on the battle field only because she new she had other powers to back her up if she needed to use them. She hadn't even planed this lesson so she was just going to make it up as she went along. Saying that, that's what she did most the time.
Once she arrived she found that her class was waiting for her in the Danger room and frowned
"How any times have I told you lot to-" she trailed off as she saw Logan at the front of the group growling at one of the new recruits. "Wolverine! What are you doing?" walking through the crowed noticing that he had hold of Roberto but the collar. As soon as Logan saw that it was Rogue he felt bad for what he was doing but tried to play cool. He couldn't just go soft on the guy because of a girl.
"This one was making smart ass comments so I was gonna teach him a lesson but seeing as your hear you can do It." pushing the boy away from him with more force then actually needed. And that's when he noticed her uniform
She had a thought then " Why you got somewhere tah be?" she new that would try his patience.
"Maybe I have stripes" there was an ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh that came from all the kids around them. She couldn't help but smile at there immature minds.
"Okay then run along while I get the real complicated stuff started up here"
"You challenging me?" it was a statement out of disbelief
"Its not a challenge if I know I would beat you straight off." Rogue said matter of factly leaning on one hip and he swore he saw her wink at him. There was another up roar in the crowed. Followed by whispers something about him finding out the hard way. He didn't quite understand.
"You got yourself a deal then darling." He said getting him self-ready. Rogue smiled a smile which meant she was about to like what she was gonna do more then she wanted to let on. She had to admire him standing up to her but it was the Wolverine he would do it to anyone. And he looked so fucking hot when he was annoyed.
"Powers?" it was a simple question which she asked slyly wondering what his answer would be. Just as she suspected it was just a growl with a nod. Her smile grew a bit more. That's when he lunged at her taking her to the floor. She laughed not expecting him start at that him. She just grabbed his shoulders and pushed; bearing in mind she had her super strength that she had got off Carol Daves. He fly's through the air only to land in his cat like position.
"Girls grow up what did you know Wolvie so did my powers" was her only answer to his expression. He retreated his claws, and Rogue was so tempted to use magnetos powers she had to keep him where he was but she thought that in this fight it would be best to stick to her own powers. Super stealth, flight and her skin.
To Logan this was her way of showing him what she could do and he was liking it he was liking the fact that just maybe she had enough to keep him at bay god knows someone needs to. That's when he had to dodge out the way because she came at him like a flying built.
"Fucking hell strips!" he growled as he got in to a stance watching her perch on the floor just in front of him. That's when he went for the kill kicked her hard in the stomach then back and put her to the floor. Trapping her hands under herself so no matter how much strength she had she couldn't get out of it. He also had his claws near enough piercing her neck.
"You see now Wolvie…"she trailed off looking up at him and smiled. "I have a lot more powers up my sleeves but then it just wouldn't be fair because they are not my own and right now I would look to use some electric on you" he growled and laughed at her dropping down to her ear and whispering
"Yer but then that wouldn't be your own powers would it and plus I'm quite liking the fact that I can still take you on…" he trailed off and stood up holding his hand out to help her up which she took. He then left her to teach her lesson.
Walking down the wall he couldn't help but see the image of Rogue beneath him just like in the danger room but she was withering in pleasure and calling out his name. Growling at his own thoughts how could someone like her so sexy and innocent all at the same time like him he was just a free man and no one could tie him down, but then why did he come back…was it for her?
Shaking his head he decided that he would have to have a very very cold shower because if he didn't then there would be a very big problem walking around the mansion very big and very hard just at the thought of his Marie in leather. His Marie? He would defiantly be doing something he knew all to well, self-satisfaction. When he got to his room he looked at the clock and noticed it was nearly half nine. He had a brain wave instead of doing it him self he could go down to that old bar of his and pick up a whore and take it from there at least then he wouldn't have to rely on images he thought where defiantly going to send him to hell for thinking. Sighing he grabbed his leather jacket and headed for his bike to the bar it was. He might even have a fight or two if he felt up to it.
When he got to the bar he sat at the far end corner to door so that he could see the cage clearly and also any talent who come into the bar. He was drinking his usual whisky straight it was the most successful to get him drunk he found that out though his years in bars like this. He'd been here for an hour now no one wanted to fight no decent girls wanted to play and no he still couldn't get Marie out of his head. He silently growled over his drink as the bar tender came over to him with another ready for him.
That's when she walked though the door. Why did she have to walk though the door? Why did she have to come to this bar? why did she have to haunt him so much. He silently thanked god for the darkened corner he had chosen earlier when he came it. That's when he went into defence mode Marie sweet and innocent Marie in a bar like this? How the fuck had she known about this place.
"He Ricky baby!" She leant over the bar to give the bar man a kiss on the cheek the same bar man that had been serving him he clenched his fist silently thanking it wasn't the one with the glass in.
"Your usual then Rogue I take it?" he questioned leaning on the bar. Was he flirting with her?
"Of course hun" she said sitting in a seat to get comfy. Was she flirting with him? She took off her jacket to reveal a black vest top with rebel on it; it had slashed all down the back of it so you could see her back. Then this Ricky Bloke put three drinks in front of her all the same and all looked to Logan like tequila. Which she drank and then he gave her a glass of whisky to wash it down. Logan never took her for a drinker but I guess seeing as today has been a bad day for her he would let her off.
Then when she was sat there nursing her third glass of whisky he noticed her sigh and he new that sigh a mile off it was her defeated sigh. The one she only did when she gave up. He was just wondering what she had given up on while she was lost in so much thought.
Rogue loved this bar she loved the attitude and the people she new like Ricky even though he always hit on her he was a great bloke. She started to understand why Logan would like the bars like this but she guessed it would be for his own reasons. The commotion that was behind her was the poker game going off in the corner who she new Ted would win because he always did. The crake in the back of the place was the braking of the balls on the pool table. The yep every now and then would be the sound of someone getting in the way of someone they shouldn't have been. She smiled, she love this bar. But not right now.
She sighed heavily as her thoughts turned to Josh she was angry, okay scrap that she was completely and utterly pissed off and it was all Joshes fault. Oh that blow to the jaw she gave him this morning was only one of many things she wanted to do to him. And his conclusion from just the one hit made her feel good especially because she hadn't used her powers.
And then her thoughts wondered on to the subject of love, how would she ever get a lover that wouldn't actually cheat on her? Would she ever fine love? Would he ever truly love her? Looked down at her drink with the last thought that scared her she got a tap in her shoulder.
"Hey Babe you want company..." some man came and sat next to her not even giving her time to say anything her carried on "You seem like your waiting for someone? The way your throwing all them back seems like you had a fight you don't deserve him especially with such a fine ass…I'm telling you now babe he wouldn't be able to make you scream like I would."
Rogue couldn't help herself she looked him up and down he was a great big mess of a truck driver and all she could do was laugh at him.
"Sorry "Babe" I don't want anything from you" she emphasised the word Babe to piss him off more, and by the look on his face it work. Just as he was about to say something some cheep slut walked over to him and was all over him.
"You don't want her she's a whore who is only here to screw with guys heads and not actually get down and dirty she a filthy lying cheep hooker I mean come on look at what your wearing huni leather went out years ago." This took Rogue by surprised before she smiled and downed her drink saying.
"Have you been here before? Oh yes wait a min you where the fucking cheep slut that was thrown out of her by Louise a week ago for trying to fix the bets on the cage." She then looked her up and down and said "I don't care what's in and out of fashion love just as long as it gets washed and is clean I must admit for having that dress on for a week It looks okay…but then again I assume it would probably be on the floor of some truck most the time with your line of work." That's when the women slapped Rogue round the face.
"You Fucking Bitch you have no right!"
"Me no right! You have no fucking right to come over here and interrupted me from having a quite drink so go and fuck off I'm sure this big ox here will be more then happy to put you on your back." That urened Rogue another slap except it never reached her face because Rogue caught it and twisted it hard behind her back the prostitute was screaming in pain and Rogue just walked her in front of her to take her out the bar. Once outside Rogue pushed her away blocking another slap and punching the women hard in the noise, leaving her lying on the floor. But not before she said to her "You should get a proper job it might hurt less."
Rogue then walked straight into the bar and downed another two drinks that Ricky had put up for her. He said something about some guys buying her next round because she got rid of the women who was annoying them but other then that Rogue didn't care she just wanted to drink her sorrows away. When she felt herself becoming drunk she new she had another two drinks to go before she would be paralytic. But just as she was going to down her last one a hand on her shoulder stopped her. A hand that felt very familiar very comfortable and warm on her skin. Looking round she met chocolate brown eyes and smiled.
"We're leaving darling you've had enough to drink."
"Logan! Lets go!" she said a bit slurred but it was understandable. She placed money on the counter before grabbing his hand and pulling him along he only had time to grab her coat, which she had forgotten about. He would have to drive them home on his bike. She still hadn't stopped talking since they left the bar he couldn't help but laugh at that. They reached his bike and she put her arms around his shoulder while they where standing.
"How long you been at the bar" she said looking up at him with her big green eyes he had to look somewhere else.
"Long enough" he said not liking their closing ness. Truth is he liked it too much. She pulled closer to him
"Me and you should come out drinking for my 21st birthday!" he told himself how to breathe
"Maybe lets get you home now…how did you get here " he thought it was the right question knowing by this time tomorrow if she had come in a bike it would be gone. She smiled looking up at the sky
"I can fly Logan I don't need to use a car or a bike…even though bikes are good to get around on." She added as she got on the back on Logan's bike. She held her hands around his waist rubbing them under his jacket on his t-shirt to keep them warm she love this bike and felt special for being the only other person other than Logan to ride on it.
Once they had got home Marie laughed at herself because she couldn't climb the stairs see normally she would just fly but she was with the drop dead gorgeous Logan so she just walked to her room. Logan followed her to make sure she didn't fall down the stairs and once she was in her room she pulled her top straight off, which took him by surprised.
"Don't look at me like you ant never seen a bra before Logan cuz you and me know that would be lying" he just stood there she had to laugh at his shocked face. If he didn't know she was a woman he sure as hell knew she was now he thought to himself. He just wanted to tear that bra from her body and ravish her right then and there. He shock his head as she put a baggy t-shirt on. "Logan will you stay with me I wanna talk some more." said Rogue getting under the covers of her bed. He just gulped he had never stayed the night with a women and not had sex with them. But this was Marie he wouldn't do that to her no matter how much he wanted her.
He just cuddled up to her staying above the covers no matter how much argument that caused from her. He also kept his cloths on he was just holding her close to him and to him that was all he wanted for once and it scared him. It really scared him. He looked down at her noticing she had stopped talking even though mostly everything she had been saying didn't make any sense to him he had listened to every word. He just watched her as she slept for a bit before getting up slowly and walking to his own room. He needed to think and sleeping in his own bed would do the trick. Well it would take his mind of her…
She woke up when her door shut and sighed to her self there was only one place she wanted to be right now
And that was the place she couldn't be
In his arms
