Friday, payday, Lordy got to get away
Had it with the wife thing, living on a shoe string
What's a poor girl got to do just to have some fun?
All these years without any help
Guess what, honey, clothes just don't wash themselves!
Neither do dishes, neither does the bathroom floor
That's it! Rogue thought, throwing the last item of clothing into the dryer. I'm done! It's payday today and I am outta here! I've had it with the whole 'wife does all the housework' bit!
"What's a girl gotta do ta have some fun around here, anyways?" she wondered aloud, walking into the kitchen. She scribbled out a note for her now ex-boyfriend.
Sorry, honey, but I am through being your slave! Clothes don't wash themselves, honey! Same goes for the dishes and bathroom floors! I ain't had no help for all these years and I'm done with it! Good-bye, hon!
-Rogue
She tossed the note on the counter, packed up her things, and headed out.
So, now if anyone asks, not that they would
I'll be down in Mississippi and up to no good
P.S.
If anyone asks, not that they would, I'll be down in Mississippi, and up to no good!
She smirked as she scribbled that last line in the note, then really left the house. She jumped in her car and headed for her girlfriends' houses.
No more, what a bore, had enough, I'm out the door
Headed for a breakdown, had it with the small town
Gonna call Tabby, gonna call Jubilee
Now we're gonna let it roll, gonna let it rip
Gonna get us a nice room down on the strip
Not that we'll need it, there won't be any sleepin' tonight
"Yeah, sugah!" she said, talking on the phone to Jubilee. "You and Tabitha get ya stuff and come on! Ah'm gonna show y'all a real good Southern time!"
In no time, the three were off for Mississippi.
In Mississippi
"We're here!" Rogue called cheerfully. "Let's head on down to the strip! That's where the fun is!"
"Let's rip up this town!" Tabitha cheered, setting off some of her small bombs into the air.
Jubilee added her fireworks. "Yeah!" she cried.
They reached the hotel and headed to their rooms.
"Nice room!" Jubilee said, looking around.
"Not that we're gonna sleep much tonight." Tabitha added with a smirk. "Come on!"
The three rushed back out the door.
So, now if anyone asks, not that they would
We'll be down in Mississippi and up to no good
"Where's the nearest casino?" Tabitha asked.
"This way." Rogue said, leading the way.
Hammer down, here we go
Runnin' for the riverboat
All you're gonna see is asses and elbows
Luck's about to change for these three queens
Tired of gettin' jokers, deal us up kings
They ran for the riverboats. "Yeah!" Jubilee yelled. "This is what I'm talkin' about!"
The three elbowed their way through the eager crowd. "Luck's about to change for these three queens, sugah!" Rogue said, tossing some money on the poker table.
"I'm tired of jokers." Tabitha said with a suggestive smile at the rather cute dealer. "Deal us up some kings, wouldja, honey?" She batted her eyelashes.
The dealer swallowed nervously and smiled back.
Jubilee listened to the music blaring over the speakers. "Guys, listen!" she said. "This is so our song!"
Hammer down, here we go
Runnin' for the riverboat
All you're gonna see is asses and elbows
Luck's about to change for these three queens
Tired of gettin' jokers, deal us up kings
Rogue grinned. "That's us alright!" she said proudly.
Tabitha slapped down a full set of kings. "Thanks, honey." she said before planting a kiss on the dealer, who responded just as eagerly.
Snake eyes, roll the dice, double down and hit me twice
Cashin' in the big chips, gonna leave a big tip
Hotter than a two dollar pistol, baby, I'm on fire
Jubilee had gone off to a dice game. "Snake eyes! YEAH!" she yelled. "C'mon Doub;e down! Hit me twice! I'm on fire!" she shot off some more fireworks in celebration.
The guy next to her grinned at her. "Hey, baby." he said.
"Oh, aren't you a cute one?" Jubilee said coyly. "How about a kiss for good luck?"
"Doesn't look like you need it. But how about a kiss anyways?" the man said with a smile, taking her face in his hands and kissing her.
Rogue had gone off to a different poker table. There was a Cajun-looking man with gorgeous red-on-black eyes. She sat down next to him. "Hi there." she said in her Southern drawl.
"Well, hello there, Chere. Remy take it ya come down for a good time?" Gambit asked, taking in her figure with a sweep of his eyes.
"Ya got that right, sugah. Somethin' tells me y'all jus didn't come for the drinks." Rogue said, a smile curling her lips up.
"Non. Gambit come for somethin' a lil moreā¦. satisfyin'. Ya got a likin' for some good Cajun charm?" he asked, taking her hand. "Who may I have the pleasure of adressin'?"
"Mah name's Rogue, sugah. Ah don't think Ah caught yer name."
"Gambit." he said, pressing his lips to her gloved hand. "Why the gloves, Rogue?" he asked.
"Rogue smirked. "Maybe Ah just don't want ya germs all over me." she said, still smirking at the Cajun.
"Or maybe ya want me ta take 'em off." Gambit said, smiling his charming smile at Rogue.
She pulled her hand out of his grip. "Ah don't think so." she said, rolling her eyes. "One touch from me could kill ya, Cajun. Ya bettah remember that."
"Remy t'ink he take that chance." Gambit said, taking her face in his hands. His lips met hers and she waited for the transfer of powers, for the life to be sucked out of him.
Nothing happened. Remy broke away, eyes gleaming. "Thought ya said ya could kill me." he said smoothly.
Rogue sat there in shock, then boldly kissed him again. "Maybe yer the one man I can't kill." she murmured, smiling at him.
"Come on, Chere. Let's get outta here." Gambit said, taking her hand. She let him lead her over to where her two friends were with their new boyfriends. Both looked surprised, but they wisely said nothing.
"Come on, girls. Let's get outta here." Rogue said with a grin. The three girls left with their boyfriends.
"There's a fine Southern home-cooked meal with our names on it." Rogue said. "Y'all ain't lived until ya tried some good hand-made Southern cookin'!"
So, now if anyone asks, not that they would
I'll be down in Mississippi and up to no good
So, now if anyone asks, not that they would
I'll be down in Mississippi and up to no good
Yeah!
Hope that was alright. I personally did not like the ending, but hey. Y'all might.
R&R, please! Any suggestions for another country song will be appreciated. Thanks!
