RECAP
"Act like what?" Remy frowned.
"Like yoah' actin' now!" Rogue's anger was boiling and if the door wasn't locked, she would have ran out there like she always did.
Remy clenched his teeth and it took all his power to show his anger to her, which Rogue thought was not affecting her in anyway. Taking a deep breath, Remy moved closer on the bed causing her to back up. Yet, as always, Remy managed to get a hold of her uncovered hand holding her fingers with his.
"Rogue, what's up wit' you lately?!"
End Recap
Chapter 12: Passions
"'suse meh? What's up with you? You're the one who's been sneakin' around me lately—but that's nothin' unusual for you to do. Anyway, first when ah come outta the house befo' the party, you're standing there in the corner, then you stand behind me at the bar, and then y' start askin' me all sorts of questions 'bout that guy. Ah'm sick o' havin' you roam around me twenty four seven-"
"Wow, dis is what I get for savin' your life, a goddamn smack across de face. " Listening to her was out of Remy's tolerance now and not being able to take out his anger without having his charging powers was adding up to his anger.
"Awwwe, You want a cookie foh that sugah?" Rogue shook her head and gave out a small bitter laugh.
Ignoring her comment, Remy kept on speaking. "But den again' I shoulda' known it's you who I tried t' help."
Rogue got up, stomped across the room and not paying any attention to what she was saying, impulsively said. "Well Ah nevah asked foh it! You shoulda gone lookin' for Jubilee who needed you more than Ah did." She folded her arms across her chest like a little girl in rage.
What? Remy looked sharply at her and took in the double meanings of what Rogue had just said. She's hurt. She's still hurt by de fact dat I left her and went for Jubilee. Remy thought, however it was Rogue who had rejected him first, not he. He was surprised at himself for having a faint feeling of happiness somewhere in his mind, that she still cared about their 'relationship'.
Facing the wall with her back to Remy who still sat on the bed, Rogue touched her hand to her head. Her eyes were burning, her head was hurting and now all the arguments with Remy were adding up to her headache. Wow, how fortunate they were. They were stuck, together, alone, in one room in which they had no way out. Even if they did, they were solving other problems rather than considering their priority and figuring a way out.
In an instant, Remy got up and went behind Rogue. He kept his hand on her shoulder and this time she didn't flinch. May be it's a signal for permission. Not being able to hold on much longer, Remy moved his hand to her waist and turner her around gently, to face him.
Rogue lowered her head causing the white strands to fall in her face. Having one of the most beautiful women, an x-girlfriend whom he had always wanted to touch with tears in her eyes was too much for Remy. He tilted her chin towards him and wiped a tear away with the back of his hand.
"'m sorry." He whispered and moving closer to her, he laid her head on his chest. Rogue willingly accepted and nodding, she put her arms on his chest.
"Really chere, I am. For confusing you in all dis mess." Remy said putting his hand on her totally bare, petite back. Although he warned himself to not move too quickly or she'd run away.
Rogue shut her eyes closed and inhaled in his cologne. Being in the arms of one of the most gorgeous men she had ever seen, especially without her absorption powers was making Rogue dizzy again. She was scared of the consequences. "Ah don' know. Ah'm jus' too tired to put up with this."
"I know, me too." Remy ran his hands through her long silky hair that fell over her back, covering it. "Y' want to know why?"
"Why?" Rogue looked up at him, her eyes questioning.
"'cuz I still have de same feelings for y' dat I had when I first met y'." He stared at her with his red on black eyes.
Rogue gulped. She ran her tongue over her lips and blinked a few times. What was she supposed to say? Yeah Remy Ah love y' too and Ah'm willin' to be with you again so that you can dumb Jubilee an' we can live happily ever after without me havin' control over mah powers? Yeah right!
Taking a deep breath and not bothering to take her hands away from his chest, Rogue stayed in the same position and looked up at Remy. The time stopped around her and she felt him moving closer.
It was not that neither of them were not aware of their actions, they clearly knew what they were doing, it was their own choice. Remy slid his hand up her back and without warning, pressed his lips to hers. To his surprise, Rogue did not pull away, which according to Remy was a response from her.
Bringing the other hand by her side he pressed his lips deeper onto hers and nipped the bottom of it, receiving a moan from her that urged him to continue. Remy was startled with another surprise as Rogue brought her hands and pressed them in his hair as they explored each others mouths. Encouraged by her action, Remy caressed her back with a hand while kept a firm hold in her hair asking for more and more.
After an endless while, they pulled apart. Remy looked in her eyes and softly touched his lips to hers for a quick second. Rogue looked at him, obviously marveled by the event that had just taken place between the two. If not by her expression, her pink lips and drowsy eyes could give Remy a hint that she didn't really mind the contact.
"Ah…we shouldn' be doin' this.." Was all Rogue could stutter as she touched her finger to her lips. Remy bent his heads towards her caressed her delicate neck with his hand.
"An' why not?" Remy tilted his head to look into her eyes.
The color of Rogue's cheeks changed from pale to rosy at his comment and she glanced in a different direction. "'Cuz it's not righ--" Rogue found herself being distracted by Remy who moved his head closer to hers once again. Not being able to resist, Rogue slightly brought her limb arms to place them on his chest.
"What they did was right?" Remy asked huskily while dropping a kiss at her neck that sent shivers down her body. He felt his heart throbbing from the kiss and how Rogue's soft hands were moving up and down his chest with nervousness. A smile touched at the corner of his lips. I don' blame de chere. On the other hand, Remy himself felt lightheaded and aroused by having his x-lover in his arms. The feel of her soft lips and their sweet enticing taste against his own was the only thing in his mind right now.
"Who 're y' talkin' bout?" Oh lawd. He knows 'bout them. Rogue asked avoiding the question.
"You know who I'm talkin' bout. Stop lyin'.."
"Remy Ah don--"
"Look at me." Remy forced her chin gently towards him with his finger. "Stop lyin' to me. I saw you dere witnessin' de whole damn scene. An' dem as well."
Tears formed in Rogue's eyes and she gulped, stood there and stared him. "Then what am Ah supposed t' do?! Ah am not the one who was indulged with Bobby in a make-out session. It was yoah girlfriend Jub-ah-lee." Rogue snapped.
"Why didn' you ever tell me, hunh?" Remy asked caressing her hair with his hand.
"'cuz you'd think that Ah was tryin' to pry you an' Jubilee apart." Rogue's eyes glistened with shiny tears.
Remy shook his head at her mentality. "I would neva' t'ink dat way of you chere."
"Look, it's yoah business. Go an' kick Bobby's ass or fight with Jubilee. Neither Bobby was mah boyfriend nor Jubilee is mah girlfriend. She's yoah girlfriend." Rogue pushed him away and folded her arms across her chest.
"She was."
Rogue looked up to see a smirk up Remy's face that reflected the meanings of his words 'she was'.
"How can ya possibly be so pig headed Remy. Stop ruinin' yoah life, go ahead find some othah girl if not Jubilee! Ah can nevah be with you. You an' Ah both know that."
"Bet ya don' know what Remy knows." Remy grabbed her arm and shoved her towards him causing her to lean on him easily from the loss of her powers.
Rogue raised an eyebrow. "What are ya playin' at Cajun?"
"I can touch you." Remy trailed a finger across her neck. She's really tolerant t'night, thinks we might not get dis chance again, but de trut' is, we might. Remy was happy by this fact as well as hurt at her innocence.
Relaxed from the fight, Rogue rolled her eyes. "Remy. We're in the same hotel room which has navigated our powers. It's obvious that anyone can touch meh—not ta mention only if Ah allow them to."
Remy smiled. "Dat's where you're wrong chere. Or I should say… mistaken. De latest updated on Hank's discoveries is dat…" He gave Rogue time to control herself for what he was going to say, it was going to be a shock for her—signs of which were already appearing on her face. Rogue's color was draining from her face, obviously she had a clue of what Remy was revealing.
"Dat…I have de ability t' touch you."
Rogue clutched her eyes closed and wrapped her arms around him tightly. "Please Remy stop lyin' to me-Ah can't take a joke like this please--"
Tightly grasping her to him, he whispered, "Chére Remy would never play a t'ing like dat wit' you. I promise. It's true." He wrapped his arms around her waist as the other went to the nape of her neck, and soon after that they were busy in capturing each others mouths and taking out years of passion and love for each other.
Rogue was startled by a small noise and she looked up suddenly. Her eyes grew wide with surprise and shock. A low shout escaped her lips and Remy looked up to see the intruder. "Logan!"
There at the Window was Logan who was practically stuck to the window as his claws were dug in the wall around him…he had come to the rescue.
To be Continued…
