Beneath the Sheets….

Well not exactly a Christmas special but just a normal story. Hope
you all enjoy it.

Disclaimer: Logan is at his bachelor party, everything seems to go
fine until someone, whom we all love and respect, shows up.

Logan’s bachelor party….

“Hey c’mon Logan what’s up with that long face, it’s
your bachelor
party lighten up!!!” said Bobby Drake, one of Logan’s best
friends.

“Oui mon ami, enjoy yourself, look there are plenty of ladies
round
here….maybe we can have little fun with them, non” added the
quite
handsome ladies man that was Remy Lebeau.

“No way, dats what you do. Not me. I’m gonna be married
tomorrow an
I don’t wanna ruin this….y’all go have fun, am jus gonna
have a few
more drinks.” responded Logan as he ordered some more brandy
from
the bar tender.

“If you don’t mind I’ll stay with you, I know we’re
not the best of
friends but since you’re going to marry my ex-
girlfriend……what I’m
trying to say is….let’s put our differences apart and just
enjoy
ourselves” Scott Summers said as he sat right next to Logan
occupying
the stool that Remy had been sitting on just a few minutes ago.

Logan looked at the man up and down, he was studying him. That’s
how
Logan was…..he wasn’t exactly the social type……but Scott
seemed to be
a respectable guy and Jean had always talked about him highly, almost
like he didn’t have any flaws, any negative aspects…..at
times he
thought that maybe she should be marrying him instead.

“Quite big talk there…..well I guess ya mean well an all
so……..but
mind you am doing this only for Jeannie…..” said Logan giving
Scott a
firm but friendly handshake…..Scott nodded in approval.

The night didn’t seem to change much……Remy was still
dancing, Logan
and Scott were still talking and drinking at the bar and Bobby and
Warren were chatting up some girls….

As Scott and Logan talked about business and stuff a woman, quite
tall with shocking white hair and considerably intriguing blue eyes
walked towards them……as she approached the bar she casually laid
a
hand on Scott’s shoulder.

Scott didn’t need to turn around to know who it was…..

“Hey Ororo, I thought you weren’t going to show up”

“Well I wouldn’t have that’s for sure, but you seemed to
need me so
desperately so I decided to come” said the white haired woman,
not
even acknowledging Logan’s presence. She sat on Scott’s lap,
which
brought a questioning eyebrow on Logan’s face.

“Don’t ask…” said Scott to Logan……

The two seemed to be good friends, although they seemed quite close,
maybe there was something going on between them, thought Logan.

“By the way this is Logan he’s going to get married tomorrow,
to Jean…
you know...my ex” said Scott while Logan half smiled at Ororo who
looked at him with a sweet yet sexy smile…

“Nice ta meet ya, Ororo” Logan was taking in her
beauty…..he was
quite impressed with the way her white hair made her blue eyes stand
out.

“Nice to meet you too Logan, I hope I am not interrupting
anything
important.”

Logan slightly chuckled. “Nah darling, aint nothing much going
on,
I’d say you’re actually making this night a bit more
interesting.”

“Thank you.” Said Ororo as she sipped Scott's drink…he
didn’t seem to
mind, in fact his gaze seemed to be elsewhere…

“Hey what are you looking at Scotty, trying to find a nice lady
to
take to the wedding tomorrow…..I thought you were taking me”
said
Ororo playfully, trying to tease Scott.

“No, no, that’s not what I was doing. I was just looking at
the
amount of girls Remy can attract by just dancing. Lucky man”
said
Scott as he chuckled and looked back at her smiling. “Anyway none
of
these girls compare to you, beautiful.”

“Watch it Scott, I might just change my mind. You’re getting
a bit
too flirty, I think you’ve had enough to drink.” stated
Ororo, as she
got off Scott’s lap. Both of them laughed, while Logan was still
trying to figure out if there was something going on between them.


/////////////////////////////////////////


It was about 1.00 am when Remy, Warren, Bobby and Scott left leaving
Ororo and Logan at the bar talking.

“It must have been tragic for you not to remember who you were
and
most importantly who your parents were.....I lost my parents in an
accident, it’s hard to get by but that’s how life is I
guess”

Logan was quite drawn to her for some reason and he felt really
comfortable with her…..he never felt like this with Jean. He
always
had to be alert, making sure he did everything right. Sometimes it
seemed that he was going a bit out of character…trying to be
something he wasn’t but strangely this woman made him open up to
her
without even asking. It was like they knew each other already. Logan
tried to move these thoughts away but the more he tried the more he
started wandering if this whole marriage thing was right. He loved
Jean with all his heart but there was just something about this woman
that made him feel strangely at ease and peaceful unlike his usual
moody self.

“I’m really sorry bout that, it must be really hard for
ya….” said
Logan as he sipped the rest of his drink. He decided not to have
anymore or he’d really have a problem driving back to his
apartment.

“Well it is getting quite late….I must go now.” said
Ororo as she
paid the bar tender.

“Ya know I aint da social type but….it was really nice
talking ta ya
an all, hope we can do dis another time…” said Logan as he paid
the
bartender too and accompanied her outside. Once outside he decided to
take a smoke.

“I am sorry but would you mind doing that when I leave….I
don’t like
smoke.”

Logan didn’t usually give away a good smoke just because someone
told
him to, not even when Jean told him. But as said before the woman
had a strange hold on him and he found himself tossing the cigar to
the ground and stepping on it to turn it off.

They talked a bit more. ”So, do ya need a lift or something?”
offered
Logan.

They were standing right in front of his old, but still in perfect
shape, Harley Davidson.

“What in that?!” said Ororo pointing at his bike. Logan
laughed at
that, he would have usually been offended. That bike was all he
recalled of his past.

“Yeah, what's wrong you scared ya might drop off?”

“No, it’s just I’ve never been on one…” she said a
bit hesitantly.

“Well then this is a great opportunity….you’ll finally
know what if
feels like to ride on a bike. C’mon, hop in” said Logan as
he sat on
the bike, passing her a helmet.

“Don’t you use one?” she asked as she put it on. She
didn’t know why
she trusted this man, or why she told him about her past…..she
wasn’t
that social either. Although when she was with her closest friends
she seemed to open up, like a flower. But Logan was just someone she
had just met….how could it be that this man made her feel like
this.
The worst part was that he was getting married tomorrow, no chance to
get to know what he was really like or what it would be like to be
with him……after all he was quite an attractive man…dark and
rugged,
not really her type but certainly attractive.

As soon as she was ready and in position….her hands on his waist
holding a tight grip, she really didn’t like bikes…..
“Woh darlin, ya gotta loosen that grip a bit…..I promise I
won’t go
too fast.” said Logan as he started the engine......he was trying
to
hide the fact that he enjoyed the way her hands were around his waist
and her body pressed against his back….but he couldn’t think
about
this, he was getting married tomorrow and he didn’t want to mess
up
anything….he had done that too many times in the past.

“Um…sorry...” said Ororo as she pressed the side of her
face against
his back……

They headed off and Ororo was giving him directions on where to turn
and where to slow down….finally they reached her apartment. He
discovered that her place wasn’t that far from his. It would
probably take him thirty minutes to get home.

“Well here we are darlin….”

“Thank you, Logan….it was very nice of you.” Said Ororo
as she handed
him the helmet and climbed off the bike…..she was quite taken by
the
ride, he was going too fast in her opinion. Despite that it felt
exciting; maybe it was because this was the first time she ever was
on one.

“Just don’t hold on so tight next time, it can be a real
pain. Hey,
hold on I’ll walk ya up.”
As soon as he said that Ororo tensed, he might be one of Scott’s
friends but she didn’t completely trust him just yet.

“I don’t think that will be necessary.” Logan quickly
picked up of
her nervousness and quickly added…“I just want to make sure ya
get in
safely……this neighbourhood aint all that safe, I hope ya
didn’t
misunderstand me”

She was still a bit hesitant but she decided to believe him after all
it was true, the streets weren’t safe especially at this time.

“Ok then, my apartment is just across the street.” Logan
followed her
to the entrance of the building, and continued to follow her until
they reached her apartment door.

“Well here is my apartment, good luck for tomorrow.”

“Ya will be there, right?” asked Logan slightly hoping that
she did.

“Yes, Scott will pick me up tomorrow morning, he wants me to
choose
some flowers. I seem to have a good taste in them…..at least
that’s
what he says.”

Logan looked at her eyes, she looked back at him. He looked almost
dazed, then he blinked and spoke with a surprisingly husky voice.
“So…
I’ll see ya tomorrow.”

Ororo suddenly felt uncomfortable by the way he was looking at her.
“Yes I will see you tomorrow.” she said dismissingly.

Logan realised his mistake, but kept quiet……he smiled at her
once
more and left. Ororo entered her apartment and as she closed the door
she leaned against it and let out a small sigh.
Tommorow was going to be a very, very long day.
