Chapter 16

Location: X-Mansion - Westchester, New York - 5:36 P.M

Jubilee took out a CD case from her funky sling bag with her right hand and knocked on her best friend's door for trice with another, "Kitty-kitty, open the door" "Wait up", the voice echoed from the inside. Jubilee put her right hand behind her back to hide the CD case. A moment later, the knob was twisted before the door was pulled open by a sweet looking brunette, "Hey, what's up?", the owner of the room asked Jubilee. "Guess what?", Jubilee had a bright smile. "Rumors?", she asked Jubilee, randomly. Jubilee's glowing face turned grim, "Wrong"

"Then, what?"

"Guess, again"

"I want you to surprise me", Kitty folded her arms across her own chest while smirking at Jubilee. Jubilee slowly, stretched her right arm out to show the CD case before Kitty's brown eyes, "Tada!", her lips were drawn into a wide smile that showed off her teeth. Kitty's eyes were widened in disbelief, "Oh, my God. I've been looking for this video game, everywhere!", she took the case away from Jubilee's hand, gently, "Is this real?", Kitty added, flipping the CD case to read the plot behind. "Yes, Kat. You're not dreaming", Jubilee joked and let out a soft giggle. Kitty looked up at her best friend and her lips were formed into a beaming grin, "I love you so freaking much! Thank you!", Kitty gave Jubilee a tight hug. Jubilee returned the hug, tighter and replied, "Nah, it's nothing", she chuckled. Kitty pulled her arms away and started to admire the video game's CD case, "Tonight in my room, after dinner, you and me", she gave Jubilee a sarcastic smile. Jubilee shook her head while laughing, "Whatever you say, Kitty"

Their gleaming face expressions changed simultaneously when they saw Lukina was walking closer to them. "Evening", Kitty offered Lukina a warm smile as Lukina walked by. The white haired Ukrainian turned her head to Kitty and returned a weak smile, "Good evening, Kitty", she then, looked down to her walking feet and went to her own room, which was nearby.

She turned her gaze away from Lukina to Kitty, "I feel so sorry for her, though. Her cheerless face never changed since we all heard Danilo was thrown into the jail", Jubilee told Kitty in a low tone of voice after hearing Lukina's door was softly closed. "Me too", Kitty nodded for once in sympathy. A sudden silence was filled between them for a little while before Jubilee spoke up, "So, uh... I have to go", she gave her best friend a peck on the cheek and walked off. "Thanks again for the video game", Kitty waved her hand, slightly. Jubilee glanced back over her shoulder and gave Kitty a playful wink as she kept walking forward. Kitty watched her best friend leave, keeping the gleaming smile on her lips.

"Oh, Moira", Kitty just remembered. She planned to meet Moira MacTaggert at the lab to ask some curious questions about Bobby Drake. She jogged back into her room to keep the CD case in her drawer before walking out and shut the door behind. She swung her legs, hastily toward the stairs that would lead her down to the lab.

As she skipped the last stair, she made a turn and headed straight to the lab. She let out a deep breath when she met the lab's door, "Professor MacTaggert?", she knocked her knuckles on the door, lightly. "Come on in", Moira's voice was heard. Kitty pushed the door open and entered the room, slowly. "Good evening, Professor", Kitty closed the door while offering Moira a pleasing grin. Moira, who was flipping through pages of a thick book, stopped to return the grin, "Good evening, Miss Pryde" "So...", Kitty went over and butted on a stool next to where Moira was standing. "What happened to Bobby, exactly?", Kitty continued her words.

Moira sat on another stool across Kitty, "He hit his head at the same spot. It was because of the accident that he suddenly changed and... I asked him some questions" "Such as...?", Kitty tilted her head to the side. "I asked him if he still remembers the names of his relatives, where was he born at, how did he find out his powers, how did he get recruited into the X-Men and Kitty, I was surprised to know that he remembers all of them", Moira explained with a wide grin across her lips. Kitty's eyes were widened, "Wow...", she let out an awkward chuckle "It's... Miracle", she added, showing her gleaming smile to Moira. "Want to know what's more miracle?", asked Moira, lifting one of her eyebrows with a slight smile on her lips. Kitty nodded but remained silent; impatiently, waiting for Moira's words to be spluttered. "He remembers you. He knows who you are to him", Moira finished her sentence.

Kitty blinked her eyes for once in distrust, "Did you mean that he still loves me?" Moira rolled her shoulders, "Well, I guess you need to figure it out by yourself", she smirked at Kitty in a playful manner. Kitty leaned forward and gave Moira a quick hug, "Thank you", she offered Moira a bright smile before walking out from the lab. She glimpsed down at her wrist watch. It was dinner time and so, she went straight to the kitchen.

*After Dinner

Right after she stepped out from the kitchen, she ran toward the stairs that led up to the second floor where Bobby's room was situated. Her heart was pounding fast in excitement. Her happy face expression was clearly shown. Though, she felt a little nervous to know his answer.

She climbed up the stairs, hastily but carefully until she reached Bobby's room. Before she could even knock the door with her knuckles, the door was pulled open by the man she really wanted to meet. The man was topless with only his dark jeans on. His hair was neatly brushed and his face was looking fresh. He just took a shower, for sure. His enticing blue eyes met her gorgeous ones, "Kitty? What are you doing here?", he gave her a pleasant smile.

"Was about to knock on the door and visit my best friend", Kitty tilted her head while, keeping the sweet smile on her lips. "I thought I was more than a best friend to you", Bobby let out a small amusing laugh, "Well, you may enter, Miss Pryde", he added, widening the door. I thought I was more than a best friend to you - The sentence echoed in her mind and curiosity appeared. "Uh... Were you about to go somewhere?", asked she. "I thought of taking a walk but, -...", he shrugged his shoulders, "Spending my time with you is more interesting", he continued and grinned. She giggled, softly and stepped into the room.

"Room is a bit messy, likewise", he shut the door. "Nah, it's fine", she walked over to his bed and sat herself down in the bed. He walked toward her and collapsed on the bed, "What's new?", he rested his head in her laps. She was a bit surprised with his unexpected moves but then, she replied him with a calmed tone, "I got a new video game from Jubilee", she set her eyes upon his. "Oh? That's great", his lips formed into a smirk while, his eyes were fixing on hers. She, slowly stretched an arm out for her fingers to reach his brown hair and ran them, gently through his hair, "What's new with you?", it shattered her heart for remembering how she used to smooth his hair. "What's new with me? Hmm...", he propped up a leg, thinking. "I missed you", he took her hand that was busy ruffling his hair and gave a peck on her knuckle, "That's my answer", he added. She blinked her eyes for once in doubt. It took a moment for her to reply him, "I missed you too", she gave him a slight smile.

"Did you know the name 'Katherine' means 'Virgin' in Greek?", he suddenly asked, showing her his sly smile. "You've asked me that, a long ago", she let out a slight giggle, "And don't you mean, 'Pure'?", she lifted an eyebrow while, smiling. He chuckled, "Aren't they sharing the same meaning?" "Well, yes but I prefer 'Pure'", she had a smirk. "I prefer 'Virgin' because... You are one", he winked at her in a playful manner. She had a laugh, "It doesn't make any sense", she pinched his cheek, playfully but gently. "Hey, it does to me", he chuckled, again. She tittered, softly. He had totally changed into old him, she thought. Or, did he? She stared into his eyes and figured that it was the perfect time to ask the curious question.

She swallowed, hard, "Do you love me, Bobby?", finally, she spluttered the question. He raised both of his eyebrows, "Of course, I do", he sat up and faced her. She turned to look to her side where Bobby was sitting, "Really?", asked she, again with a soft frown in her eyebrows. He let out a quiet sigh, "Listen, I heard and know I had been an idiot for about five months, ago and I didn't even have a crush on you, since the accident but now... I've returned. The real Iceman is back", he explained with a soft tone of voice. "So, I do love you... Really", he added his words and scooted closer to her. Her frown disappeared, spontaneously. It was hard for her to believe that it was actually, happening.

She changed her position of sitting to face him and gazed into his eyes, carefully, "You could never know how much I've missed you", she placed her palm on his cheek and caressed it. He brought his face closer to hers and lightly, he leaned his forehead against hers, "And you could never know how much you mean to me, Kitty... I love you", he dropped his gaze to her lips and held her neck with one of his hands. She traveled her eyes down to his mouth as she felt his cold breath touching her warm lips, "I love you too, Bobby", she leaned forward, slowly and pressed her lips against his in tender. He returned the faint kiss and curved his own eyebrows into a frown of pleasure.

Enjoying the wonderful moment, she almost forgot about her date with Jubilee. She opened her eyes, noticing the clock on the wall and inches slightly away from his lips, "It's seven so, uh... I'm playing the video game with Jubilee. She must be searching for me" "You could play it, later and she could wait", he offered her a sly smirk. She snickered, "That is called cheating" "I mean, don't you want to waste some time with me, tonight?", he locked his eyes on her brown ones. His alluring eyes and seductive smile were too strong for her to resist. She rolled her eyes, letting out a quiet small laugh and decided to give him a passionate kiss on the lips. . .
