читать дальшеRemy was seating on his bed, staring at the wall in front of him. It was already afternoon and since the moment he woke up in the middle of the night, he couldn’t shut his eyes. Every time he did it he saw her and couldn’t think straight. He was all aroused and ready. But at the same time he felt dirty. She was only sixteen! First time in his life he was confused in his emotions. One thought about her and he was turned on. He could still hear her moans in his ears. Feel her body against his. She seemed much more than sixteen.
How he didn’t guess who she was before? Went he met her on the battlefield? ‘Wait! Didn’t boss man say that her power was absorption? And she couldn’t control it? This didn’t get any sense. That night she was… well… all touchable.’ And what is he gonna do now, when he found her? What would he tell to the Guild? What is he gonna tell to Jean-Luck? There was no way he’ll marry Belle! He needed more time to find a solution…
“Hey, mate!” John’s face appeared through the doorway. “We are going to the Mall. Wanna come with us?”
“Why not? After all, if Remy stays here for five more minutes, he’ll get crazy.”
ooooOooOOOooOoooo
Rogue was walking on the top floor of the city Mall. She, Scott, Kitty and Amara were sent to buy food and some stuff. And since Rogue was in no mood of listening to Kitty’s and Amara’s unstoppable chatting about boys, closes and whatever will come to their minds, she decided to walk on the upper floors and clear her mind.
After that dream this night she couldn’t sleep. She was so full of anger and pain…
‘Little, dirty, good for nothing Swamp rat! How tha Hell did he touch me??? How dared he touch me!!!’ But more angry she was with herself because she let this happened. And secretly deep inside she knew that she liked it, even more… but she didn’t want to admit it neither to herself nor to anyone else.
She left the store of Gothic close and decided to look for new book for reading in the book store. But passing by video department something caught her eye. She quickly hid behind the shelves with magazines and looked at the familiar frames of two… ‘Acolytes!’ she suppressed her scream. Pyro and Colossus.
‘What tha Hell are they doing here? And Ah can bet this Cajun is here with them…’ supposed the girl. ‘Ah should warn the others,’ she thought and headed to the nearest elevator.
After pushing the bottom Rogue made a deep breath and tried to calm down. Strange, but she hadn’t felt so nervous since… long ago.
‘Calm down!’ She ordered to herself. ‘He didn’t recognize you there, so there is no need for panic...’ Before she finished this sentence someone’s strong arms were wrapped around her and dragged her to the opened empty elevator.
Shocked by this unexpected action, Rogue set free from the grasp and turned around to come face to face with…
ooooOooOOOooOoooo
“Did you miss dis Cajun, cherie?” The doors of the elevator closed behind Gambit.
“What tha Hell are you doing, Gambit!” Rogue spat.
“Hello to you too, my dear wife.”
Rogue shocked stared at him.
“And all Remy had t’ do t’ find you, was to sing de contract wit’ some crazy man hungry for de world. Bravo, cherie. You can make a man do crazy t’ings.”
ooooOooOOOooOoooo
He couldn’t believe his own eyes. All this day he was trying to figure out how and where to catch the moment when this girl would be alone, and now she just waltz in on the top floor of the Mall without her overprotective friends. Remy went into shadow of the book store to be temporary unnoticed by Rogue. After they battle Acolytes were told to watch after the X-men, and Rogue was one of his ‘targets’. He made sure of it. After their ‘meeting’ he felt attracted to her. And he had to admit she was quite intriguing.
Her Goth close and make up helped her make people keep distance from her. She didn’t like crowded places; she flinched every time someone accidentally touched her. She ignored all attempts of her friends to make her take part in shopping, playing, going to the club or movie. And when girls discussed all the girl stuff she always rolled her emerald eyes and made sarcastic remarks. She locked herself from the world to protect herself from the pain. She did everything for people to keep distance from her.
And only when she was alone sitting at the park and reading her book, or watching playing children on the playground or in some more rare moments she puts her guard down, when she’s sure that there is no one around sees her. Only than he can see the real Rogue, no…real Marie. She smiles to the sun, shining at her through the branches of the trees, sometimes she lets a tear run down her pale cheek experiencing bad moments of the character of her book, and couple of times he caught her laughing watching kids playing. She loved kids.
In this couple of weeks he learned so many little things about her by watching her. The food she liked, her favorite paths she used to walk to the Institute, her soft spot for Jamey, little boy from the Institute and her hide place on the roof of the Institute where she goes whenever she feels sad or can’t sleep because of the ‘voices’. Yeah…he knew about them too. But that wasn’t enough. Especially now, when he knew the truth. He wished to know the real Marie. Like his life depended on it.
‘O-oh, she noticed John and Piotr…’ Remy noticed her looking around after she hid from his friends. ‘She must be looking for Remy.’ He thought amused hiding further in the shadow. ‘I wander, does she know about us?..’
He saw her going in the direction of the elevators and followed her. It is now or never.
