~**~
And just for this moment
As long as you're mine
I've lot all resistance
And crossed some boarderline
And if it turnes out
It's over too fast
I'll make every last moment last
As long as you're mine






~**~
Not a day went by that Ororo Munroe didn't think of him, and her nights were haunted with dreams of him, whether the dreams were good or bad, it didn't matter, she always woke up in a cold sweat, always calling for him, screaming his name, and finally sobbing when she returned fully to the real world, he wasn't there. He hadn't been there for five months. She felt as if everyday he was gone, another peice of her soul was gone, too, and while she longed, no, ached, for his return, she dreaded it at the same time. She'd die without him, and yet, she wouldn't be much better off if he came back, it had to be a mutual feeling for it to work, or it was all for nothing. Logan, the untouchable Wolverine, the first person to make her feel this way, the reason Ororo was the person she had become, the person staring back at her from the mirror, was due to knowing Logan. He was the reason she kept getting up in the morning, kept pressing on, even after the horrible events at Alcatraz occured, she loved him, although she was sure he would never love her.

"Well, that's enough of that." Ororo said to herself, "I've got to start the day, there's no use in moping around when there's work to be done." With that, Ororo walked out of her room and downstairs to see what all had to be done that day, her mind almost completely absorbed in an ocean of To-do's. Let's see, she thought, I need to go grocery shopping, Heaven knows how much food we need, it all get's eaten so fast, then I have to meet Bobby at 2:30 for Defense practice session, he's getting a bit rusty, and then there's all that paperwork that needs to be dealt with...I wish Charles was here, I'm nearly lost without him here...It was at this moment Ororo bumped into someone, she knew she should have been watching out and looking at where she was going, but she had been lost in her train of thought when sh bumped into the familiar figure. She wasn't quite sure who it was, at first, but when she heard his familiar voice saying, "Whoa, there, 'Ro. It's nice to see you, too." Ororo couldn't help but gasp, after all these months, that son of a gun, Logan, finally came back. After all those nights of tears and wishing, and praying for his return, in the end, when he finally returned, all Ororo could utter in reply to his comment was, "Logan. Hello."

God, she had gotten more beautiful while he was away, and his thoughts, for the past five months, had revolved around her. At first, he tried to rid his thoughts of her, he loved Jean, or so he had thought, at the time. He would never tell her that he felt that way about her, there was no way she would ever be able to return the feeling, and anyway, you just don't go up to 'Ro and tell her that you love her, it just didn't work that way. At her reply to his rather, underemotional, comment, he couldn't help but grin, "What, did you miss me, 'Ro?" he asked her mockingly. Ororo looked surprised, like she didn't know what to say, as if his simple question had rendered her speechless, but after about thirty seconds, she replied, "Everyone has." Logan wasn't expecting that to come out of her mouth, could it be?? No, no, it was just ridiculous to hope that she felt anything other than friendship for him, completely out of the question. Damn, Logan thought to himself, She get's more beautiful every time I look at her, she's an extreme beauty, and she could never want anything with a guy like me. Shaking himself out of his thoughts, he smiled a genuine smile, something he rarely ever did, and she returned his smile with one of her own.

"So, uh, I guess we've got a lot of catching up to do." Logan stated casually, hoping to just keep her talking to him for a few moments longer, a few more heartbeats, anything. In return, Ororo nodded and said, "Yes, we do, as a matter of fact." All that Logan could do was grin.

"So, when do you want to talk, 'Ro? When's a good time for you?"

"How about 5:00, this evening, will that suffice"

"Yeah, sure."

And at that moment, they were both just so happy to be with each other, friends, reunited, even though neither would admit that they wanted more than friendship. Right now, they were just glad to have run into each other, and right now, that was all that mattered.
