Gambit was alone at his apartment thinking about the love of his life whom he had not spoken a word to and who did not know he existed. He had somehow managed to get the address to her workplace as well as the floor and suite number she was at. He thought eagerly about seeing her again...

Rogue had been having a tough day at work. Not only did she have to pick up the slack for one of her coworkers having gone on vacation, she was tired from lack of sleep the night before. It was one of those tossy turny nights...and she was honestly a bit restless down south. Not having a man ta call her own was now just getting on her nerves. Rogue figured she would try to somehow have a date set up the upcoming weekend...she was finally throwing in the towel for her dateless streak.

Maybeh ah should scout the nerdy pool again...to tha comic book store! (Teehee)

During her lunchtime though, she was in for an unexpected surprise. A tall, handsome, auburn haired man had been staring at her from across the cafe for quite a while. She was starting to think maybe she had something embarrassing on her face but was really hoping that he just liked what he saw. She felt her cheeks grow warm and nervously made eye contact with him. To her surprise he grinned and made his way towards her.

When he reached her table he scooped up her hand and kissed the back of it gently.

"Bonjour chere, Remy Lebeau at your service. I know dis be out of de blue but dis homme find you to be the most belle femme dis Cajun ever seen."

Rogue blinked and stared, mouth agape for lack of what to say as she had never been introduced to in such a romantic way before and she was afraid to ruin it by saying something stupid.

"Umm thank you. Ah, ah don't know what ta say... " Please don't reject meh hot guy.

"Den please say yes to accompanying me dis evenin to dinner chere."

"Umm...well.." Say yes dummy "Yes. That sounds lovely Remy and very nice to meet you. Mah name is..."

"Rogue?"

"How did you.."

"I'm very skilled at learnin dos I'm interested in."

"Ya been stalkin meh?"

"Non. Well Remy just call it researchin or overhearing conversations accidently."

"Ah see..." Note to self: ah might need a background check on this guy.

"No worries chere, I'm not a criminal or anyting...trust moi when Remy say he usually don do tings like dis."

Rogue gave a warm smile. "Alright Mr. Lebeau ah believe yah."

Gambit aka Remy Lebeau was getting ready for his date with his dream girl.

Dis woman might be out of my league but Gambit don care.

He noticed earlier while he was spying on her that she didn't surround herself with a talkative bunch, instead she sat alone eating a salad. Seemingly lost in thought with a faraway gaze she looked quite lonely yet oblivious to the fact that several other men were checking her out...maybe they had been rejected by her before. Nevertheless he had to scoop her up while he could. After talking with her he knew her type...shy/awkward but also detecting a bit of sass and charm in her southern drawl. It delighted him that she was from the south like him, reminding him of home.

(To be continued...)
