Chapter 10
Sweet scent entered the room through opened door leading to the balcony. It’s spring. Rogue, her eyes closed, inhaled deeply: first flowers, first greenery, first warm wind, though it’s a little chilly in the mornings. The air is fool of spring!
Though it was early for Rogue to get up on Sundays, she decided to make an exception and grace everyone by her presence on the breakfast. Today she was in good mood (like the all previous week) and decided to have a walk on afternoon.
читать дальшеShe was really happy lately and not without reason. Every her free minute was spent with Remy. It’s not like she called him or asked him to come. He just simply appeared from nowhere every time she was free from her school, Danger Room sessions or anything else. Every her wish became true when she was with him. He could guess any change in her mood and it was so easy for him to make her laugh and just be happy. All the problems she saw in simple communicating with people just disappeared. She couldn’t touch, couldn’t hug, couldn’t kiss. She felt like a prisoner on the uninhabited island though there were people around her every day. And that hurt the most. But now all the barriers were broken. No, she found the inhabitant on that island who loved her (she was sure about it) and wanted to hold her hand till the end of the world.
Yep, she was happy.
Running down the stairs Rogue noticed something strange by the front doors. Speaking of inhabitants… A group of her former friends was very lively and loudly discussing something. Among them she noticed Kitty.
“Hey, Kit, what’s going on?”
“Like, here you are! I thought that you were still asleep and didn’t want to wake you up!” Kitty hurried to her friend.
“Well, Ah’m here now and listening.” ‘What’s going on?’
“Like, someone sent you a package! From the store!” she looked like she was going to bounce to the ceiling from excitement and trying hard not to do so.
“Really?” ‘Wow, that’s something… new’ “Who is the sender?” She had an idea (and the only one) who could do this but hoped he would be clever enough not to do so. After all everyone has the scent and leaves it everywhere he touches and Logan knew his scent!
“We don’t know!” ‘Oh Gawd, did she just squealed?’ Rogue went to the center of the group to take her package and found Logan sniffing it. ‘Oh Gawd, we doomed...’
“Well? Is it explosive?” Rogue asked trying to hide her nervousness.
“Not funny, Stripes. Do you know who it may be?”
“Ah have no clue. Now, may Ah have my package, please?” she asked impatiently.
“Rogue, it can be dangerous.” Scott step up.
“That’s why you called everyone to the meeting to discuss this problem altogether?” blush on Scott’s face told that her guess was right. “Why Ah wasn’t invited? Ah think Ah have a right to vote.” Rogue grabbed the package and unwrapped it. The illustration on the box made her stifle a laugh. Just yesterday they were talking about sweets and she confessed that she adores this brand of chocolate. “Well, now you can see that it isn’t a bomb.”
“Isn’t it suspicious? Rogue, who would send you a chocolate?” asked Jean. ‘Now that is too much!’
“Why should it be so suspicious, Jeanny? You think it’s weird to send chocolate? You think that no one would do it for me? Or even look at me? Or if someone does then it’s my duty to turn him down?” ‘Gawd, Ah hate her!!!’
“I didn’t mean this…”
“Then what the hell is your problem??? My life is none of your damn business!”
“Rogue, we are concerned about you.” Scott tried to protect his girlfriend. “What if this guy just using you? You know that with your…”
“With my powers there’s no use in getting close with anybody?” Rogue was losing her temper. “You know, not everybody thinks with his lower part!” ‘Oh yeah, eat this, Scotty boy!’ Rogue turned around on her hills and left not paying attention to blushing Scott and Jean, giggling Kitty and growling Logan.
“Like, who is the guy?” asked Kitty as she entered their room and found Rogue sitting on the balcony and eating her chocolate. “You promised to tell me!” she demanded.
“Ah’ll tell you… if you promise me not to tell anybody.” She answered after she thought for a moment.
“You, like, have my word!”
“Not a soul!”
“No problem!”
“With ought any exceptions!”
“Yes, yes! Rogue, I totally understand how it’s important for you! And you can trust me, I won’t tell anybody!” now Rogue could see that her roommate was completely serious. She entered the room and closed the door.
“Okay.” She took a deep breath and set on her bed. “Do you remember about that guy?”
“The guy you met at Las Vegas?” Kitty sat by her friend on her bed.
“It must sound really banal…” Rogue tried to pick the right words. “Okay… That night in the club... Ah had one of this days when it’s really hard to deal with my life. Ah was depressed and got really drunk. It doesn’t mean Ah was right to do this. But it was so hard.” Hurt look crossed Rogue’s face, but she continued. “ And then Ah met him. Ah must say, hot is the less Ah can tell about him. He sat at my table and started to talk. He was drunk too, as Ah can remember.” She laughed at that sentence. “And well…” Rogue tried to hide her blush.
“Oh My God!” Kitty squealed.
“Shush!” hushed her Rogue. Kitty closed her mouth with her hands.
“You slept together!” she whispered shocked staring at her friend.
“Yeah.” Rogue was blushing furiously.
“I ,like, so want the details!”
“Kit,” Rogue shut her eyes, ‘Here goes the most difficult part’. “That’s not the ‘end’ yet.”
“There is, like, something more? What else could hap…” Kitty stopped at the mid air when Rogue showed her the ring on her finger. “Like, OH MY GOD!!!!” This time Rogue closed her mouth with her cowered hand.
“Gees, Kit! Could you shout a little lower, please?”
“Oh my God.” Kitty said in very low voice. “You are married! How could this happened?”
“Didn’t Ah tell you that Ah was drunk?”
“Ok, I get it.” Now Kitty was deadly serious. “You both got drunk, had sex and then got married. And this all happened in one night?”
“Ah shouldn’t tell you this…”
“No! You really should have told me and I’m happy you did it. I mean told me.” She added fast. “But what are you going to do now? You met this guy in New York. But it was a disaster as I remember.”
“Yeah, it was. But it just was a bad timing. We met later and talked. Kit, he’s the most charming, romantic and everything a girl would dream of! Ah know, any girl would say something like that about her boyfriend, but you have to trust me he really is! He is caring and honest. When we together Ah feel like flying. And he loves me, really loves me, and so do Ah.”
“Girl, you are so over him!” she squealed happily. “I’m so happy to hear this! Do I know him? Can I see him? What does he looks like? How is he in bed?..”
The questions just kept to come out of her roommate and Rogue feared that nothing could stop it.
“Kit, this is not all… yet.” She added carefully.
“Like, Oh My God, are you pregnant?” she asked her friend and looked at her stomach.
“Of course not! He is… The guy… Well…” Rogue took a deep breath. “He is one of Acolytes.” Silence. “His codename is Gambit.” Dead silence. “Want a chocolate?” Rogue with innocent face offered her sweets.
