Yell: RO! YOU HAVE A CRUSH ON ONE OF THEM!

Did I hear that right?

Me: Did ya guys hear that?

Creed: Sure did.

Gumbo: Who do ya think is da one?

Creed: Me obviously. I told ya she can`t resist me.

Me: Yea right. She ain’t one of those dumb, average kind of bimbos that usually go fer ya.

Slim: Why do you think that? We met her just yesterday. As far as we know she could be a damn prostitute or something.

Now I see red! Images of other men touching MY Ro are passing through my head. Petey told us what she does and prostitution IS NOT one of them! How dear Slim so much as THINK of something like that bout MY Ro! Did I just say ‘my’ Ro twice? Since when do I think of’ er that way?

Slim: Logan? Do you mind getting off of me now?

Me: Wha…?

My mind suddenly cleared and I find myself on the ground on top of Slim with my hand on his neck and I quickly let go.

Gumbo: What happened homme? Why`d ya jump on Slim like dat?

Me: Don’t know… Sorry Slim.

LIKE HELL I AM! HE INSULTED ‘MY’ RO. There I go with that word again. She ain`t yers James Howlett, ya don’t even like’ er. Remember that!

Slim: You went into one of your berserker modes. Its been a while since your last one. What trigged this one off?

Creed: Bet I know.

Me: Really now?

Creed: Yea. Its pretty simple. Ya fell for her!

Me: Fell fer who?

Creed: White.

Me: White? Ya mean…?

Creed: Yup.

Me: Like hell I did!

Gumbo: Does Remy hear weddin bells?

Slim: We can make it a double wedding Logan.

They all start laughing at me. Falling fer someone doesn’t bring anythin good and this proves it. That’s why good fuck is all a man needs from a woman.

Me: Shut up!

Creed: Man, yer whipped. Too bad fer ya that her interest lies somewhere else, on me ta be exact.

Me: Just keep tellin that ta yerself. That’s the only place where woman like ya, in yer sick, twisted, perverted mind.

Creed: Someone’s jealous.

Me: Of you? It’ll be a cold day in hell before I get jealous of you.

Creed: Well look’s like Satin is freezing his ass off right now coz you’re fucking jealous!

I open my mouth ta reply am something but Gumbo cuts me off.

Gumbo: Hommes, shut up. Here dey come.

I gotta feeling we’re bout ta find out what they discussed.

Rory: I’ll get your IDs but before I do I have a proposition for you.

Me: What kind of proposition?

Rory: We came to agreement, if you accept, that you are welcomed to stay in our club couple of days.

Slim: What? We rather starve to death than to…

Rory: To what? You’ve got nowhere to go. You’ll get your IDs back but how much do you think that’ll help you? You don’t have any money and I thought you have a wedding in what… five days? This way you’ll have warm bed, food and you can have jobs so you could earn enough money to buy plane tickets. You get very generous tips.

Me: Now ya want us ta work fer ya?

Ali: It’s a good deal sweet thang. Take it.

Rory: Here’s what we’ll do. I’ll go get your things and you think this through until I get back than you’ll tell me what you decided. Ali, Bets, Pete, Kurt. You can get back to your jobs now. Give them space to think about this and discus it.

With that she gets in the car she came with and drove off and her friends went back in ‘Dazzler’.

Slim: We can’t accept this!

Gumbo: Wat else are we suppose ta do mon ami. We be cornered. Le femme is right, we got no money, we got nothin. Ur IDs may get us in sum hotel or club but that be it. Remy say we take da offer.

Me: I say we go fer it.

Creed: Figures you’d say that.

Me: Don’t start.

Creed: I ain’t starting nothing but I do have a proposition fer ya Lo.

Me: I’m sure I don’t wanna hear it.

Creed: Lets bet on whose gonna get White in bed first.

Gumbo: Dat be jus wrong homme.

Me: What are we betting in?

Creed: If ya win I’ll be yer servant a whole week, if I win, you’ll be mine.

Me: Yer on. Prepare ta be my slave Creed.

Creed: If anyone is gonna be a slave round here it’ll be you Lo.

Great! In few days I’m gonna get myself some action and a slave. Just wait till you see all the things I’ll make Creed do fer me. He’ll regret ever betting with me.

Slim: That’s just sick. One day all this playing with girls’ hearts will come back and bite you on the ass.

Gumbo: Remy agrees wit am.

Creed: C’mon, think of all things SHE did to US this couple of days. This is just a way how we’re getting back at her or at least think of it like that…

Slim: I still think its wrong…

Creed: Look. Just keep your mouth shut and everything will be alright, alright?

Slim: Ugh… whatever. I just don’t want to have anything to do with it. Anyway, we made our decision?

Me: Yea. We’re staying.

Ororo’s pov

I’m on my way to my apartment and I’m wondering what the guys decided. One side of me hopes that they’ll stay while the other side hopes they’ll leave and never come back. Maybe it’s time for me to consider the honest way of living, not that I really know how to. I love my life the way it is, full with excitement. I could never settle down and be a good house wife although I would like to be a mother one day but not in near future, that’s for sure.

Ah, I’m here. I go to the entrance of the building and when I get in I turn right. This is going to take a while. I live on the last floor, twenty-third to be exact but I always take the stairs. I know it sounds crazy but I can’t stand closed spaces like elevators. They’re too small and it takes too long for them to get to the top of the building, I’ll get panic attack before I get to the third floor. You see I had an… incident when I was a child but I rather not talk about it. At least taking the stairs every day keeps me in great shape.

After about ten minutes and few rests I finally reached my floor. I got to my door, unlocked it and entered. All I have to do now is to remember where I put those wallets… Oh yea. I left them in my backpack in my room. Got them! Now it’s time to return to the club. At least going down the stairs is easy.

I got in my car and drove myself over to ‘Dazzler’. Let’s see what they decided.

Me: Hey guys, I’m back.

Logan: Took ya long enough. Where do ya live, on the other end of the city?

Yes…

Me: Like I’m going to tell you that. Here are your wallets. Your IDs are in there, you can check if you don’t believe me.

They all start checking their wallets. Guess they don’t believe me, not that they have a reason to.

Logan: Mine’s here.

Creed: Mine too.

Slim: It’s here.

Gumbo: Remy’s ain’t.

The three of them and me: WHAT?

Gumbo: Jus kiddin.

Logan smacks him on the back of the head.

Gumbo: Ouch! Why’d ya do dat homme!?

Slim: Because you deserved it.

Me: I would love to stay here and chat but I have things to do so can you tell me what did you decide?

Logan: We’ll take you on your offer.

Me: Great! (oh no, I sounded little too excited and happy about that. I clear my throat) Um… good, I’ll show you to your rooms.

We go inside than upstairs where I give them the keys to their rooms. Remy and Vic share a room on the left in the end of the hall and Scott and Logan share the one across from them.

Me: So how do you like your rooms?

Slim: Its better than the park.

Remy: Dey be nice.

The rooms contain two beds, two wardrobes, one big mirror, a bathroom and small kitchen. It’s actually a small apartment.

Me: In that case I’ll leave you to rest. Be up tomorrow till 7:30 am.

I turn to leave.

Slim: Hey!

Me: Yes?

Slim: Do you have a phone here?

Me: Yes.

Slim: Can I make a call?

Me: You have a phone in your room so I guess you can.

Slim: Oh. Ok than. Thanks.

Me: No problem… See you tomorrow.

I leave.

Slim’s pov

I’ll finally hear the sweet melody that is the voice of my beloved Jean. I should never have agreed to come here and so far away from her in the first place. Now where is that phone. Oh, here it is, in the kitchen. I would really like my privacy right now so I hope Logan won’t mind waiting outside few minutes.

Me: Logan? Do you mind waiting outside?

Logan: Why would I do that? We share this room.

Me: Come on Logan. I really want to have some privacy. It’ll just take few minutes.

Logan: I know it’ll take way longer than that but fine. I’ll annoy Creed and Gumbo until you finish.

Me: Thank you.

Logan: Whatever.

He goes in the other room. I grab the phone and dial Jeans number and I wait for her to answer.

Jean: Hello?

Me: Jean! You don’t know how happy I am to her your voice!

Jean: Scott?

Me: Yes. Forgot me already?

Jean: Scott! Of course I didn’t forget you hon. I miss you so much!

Me: I miss you too Jean. How are you?

Jean: Miserable without you by my side. And you?

Me: I feel the same way. I never should have left. I wish I have stayed home, in my bed with candles lit up all over the room and make sweet love to you.

Jean: Scott, that’s so romantic. I wish you stayed too.

Me: Why didn’t you say so?

Jean: Because I wanted you to go and have fun with your friends. We have our whole life ahead of us to be together. How’s the hotel?

Me: It’s nice, but no place like home.

Jean: (chuckles) And how were the strippers?

Scott: Overrated.

Jean: Is that so? Should I take that you were a good boy?

Me: (I chuckle) As always.

Jean: Good. When are you coming back?

What should I tell her?

Me: Soon sweetheart, don’t worry.

Jean: You will make it in time for our wedding, right?

Me: Of course I will. I’ll walk through hell if I have to but I’ll make it in time. Speaking of our wedding, how are the preparations going?

Jean: Great! Everything is almost done. Oh, Scott. I can’t believe we’re getting married in less than a week. I’m so happy, I don’t think I can stand all this happiness and excitement.

Me: Well you better be able to stand it, what would I do without you? You’re my heart, my soul, the very reason I live for. I love you so much Jean.

Jean: Oh, Scott. I love you too. Come back to me soon I can’t stand the emptiness I feel when you’re so far away.

Me: Don’t worry. We’ll be together soon.

Jean: Scott?

Me: Yes Jean?

Jean: Can you put Logan on the phone?

What the hell!?

Me: Logan? Um… Sure. Why do you want to hear him for?

Jean: I just want to ask him something.

Me: Ok… I’ll go get him.

Jean: Thanks sweetie.

I go over in Remy’s and Creed’s room to call Logan. What could she possibly have to say to him? I knock at the door.

Creed: Yea?

Me: Hey, it’s me. Logan, can you come out for a second?

Logan: Why don’cha come in?

Me: Jean wants to talk to you.

I see the door opening and Logan comes out.

Logan: Yea? What for?

Me: I wonder the same thing. Now come on.

We walk over to the kitchen again and Logan picks up the handset.

Logan: Hello?... Hey Jean… What?... I would never!

He makes offended face.

Logan: You serious?... Ok, so you are serious…Yea, yea. Don’t worry, I won’t… He will.

What the hell is going on!?

Logan: I said don’t worry... Whatever Red, I’ll tell am. Bye.

He hangs up and turns to me.

Logan: Red told me ta tell ya that she loves ya and ta be careful. (chuckles) Almost like she doesn’t know the mess we’re in.

I just look at him and then look away, feeling guilty.

Logan: Wait, she does know about the mess we’re in, right?

I just keep quiet.

Logan: YOU IDIOT! YOU DIDN’T TELL HER!? WE COULDA BEEN HOME BY TOMORROW! WHAT THE HELL WE’RE YOU THINKING!

Me: I didn’t want her to get worried…

Logan: Jean!? What about us!? Call er right now and tell er everything!

Me: I can’t do that.

Logan: Why the hell not!?

Me: Because I’ve never lied to Jean before. She’ll never forgive me if she finds out I lied to her few days before our wedding. She’ll think our marriage will be based on lies.

Logan: Fine. Then I’ll tell er.

He picks up the handset again.

Me: NO! Come on Logan, you can’t do this to me. You’re my best men remember!? Do you want to ruin my life, and Jeans as well!?

Logan: Yer pathetic.

That I may be but at least he’s not dialing Jean.

Me: Whatever. Now what did Jean tell you?

Logan: (smirks) Ya didn’t tell Red the truth, so I ain’t gonna tell ya what she said ta me. G’night Slim.

He turns the lights off and goes to bed.

Logan: Damn it! We have ta ask 'Ro ta give us our clothes back tomorrow!
