I will meet you in some place
Where the light lends itself to soft repose........

Ororo unwrapped the towel that sat upon her head and let her wet, silver tresses trickle
down to her shoulders. She gazed out the window as she brushed her hair, and saw only half of
the orange-red sun sinking below the trees. A small smile crossed her face and she pulled the
long drapes shut, creating a misty glow in her bedroom. She padded over to her closet and
slipped on a dress of forest green silk. It hung wonderfully over her curves and brought the smile
back to her face again. After tightly pulling all of her hair away from her face she began to wind
it into a sleek knot at the base of her neck when she realized it was Forge who liked her hair
back, not Logan, and she let it fall freely again. She slipped on a pair of very short, dark green
and gold heels that matched her dress perfectly. She wandered back into the bathroom to start
doing her makeup.

....I will let you undress me
But I warn you, I have thorns like any rose........

It dawned on her that she really didn't know what Logan was planning for this evening.
She didn't know what he was going to think. Yes, they had been friends but as lovers, she didn't
have any of Jean's grace, or Rogue's fire, or even Jubilee's humor. She stared at the face in her
mirror suddenly scared. She didn't know what she had. And she was far from perfect. A thick
lump formed at the base of her throat but she swallowed hard and found her khaki eyeliner.

...And you could hurt me with your bare hands
You could hurt me using the sharp end of what you say.....

She finished her makeup and once again was eye to eye with the woman gazing back at
her. This was not the woman she had looked at earlier. This woman had deep green eyeliner
framing a massive amount of black fringe and crystal blue eyes. Her high cheekbones were
accented beautifully with a thin sweep of blush and her thick lips were shining with gold lipstick.
Her hair sat in reckless waves about her face, making her seem the untamable woman. And then
her doorbell rang.

...I am lost to you now
There's no amount of reason to save me......

She opened the door and Logan stood behind it, not at all in what anyone would have
believed him capable of wearing. He had a pair of pressed black dress pants on and a crisp white
shirt. (Although he did roll the shirt sleeves to his elbows.) He was (actually) fresh shaven. He
didn't sport his usual five o'clock shadow.(Yet) He gave her his arm and the two turned to leave.
Her insides had apparently turned into a small ball at the center of her body. She tried to tell
herself that this was only Logan, but somehow the ball remained tightly wound. It was dawning
on her that she really had fallen for him.

....So break me
Take me
Just let me fill your arms again......

He had borrowed a car rather than take his beat up truck. As Logan was helping her into
the car, Remy and Rogue pulled into the drive. After stopping the bike Remy yanked off his
helmet and stared at Ororo. Then he caught sight of Logan. He gave her a knowing smile as
Logan closed the car door, then became aware that Rogue had thrown her helmet on the ground
and was swearing under her breath as she entered the mansion. The car began to back out of the
drive and she heard Remy chasing after Rogue apologizing for one thing or another.
She watched Logan as he drove and smiled to herself. They pulled into the parking lot of
a very small restaurant. It was beautifully decorated and they sat at a nice table, away from the
chaos of the other diners. They talked and talked, but it was very different from when they had
been solely friends. She felt like she was just discovering everything about him and didn't know
where to begin.

...Break me
I'll let you make me
Just let me feel your love again.....

Dinner was excellent. Although dating was new to them dining was not and as always,
half way through the meal they traded dishes. They still managed to talk, and sat drinking coffee
long after they had finished their meals. He sat, holding her hand in his, and she felt truly and
honestly safe. She had always told herself that she didn't needed a man to feel secure and happy,
but in that moment she felt protected and elated.
Eventually the restaurant had to close and they had to leave. It was one o'clock when they
exited. She was laughing about a joke he had just made concerning Jubilee and Bobby's new
relationship when he kissed her. He pressed her up to the car and kissed her. After breaking the
kiss he opened the door and helped her into the car. He turned the keys and got the car running
right when he got in. The heat kicked on and the chilly fall air they had let in warmed over. She
leaned over and kissed him one last time before he pulled the car out of the parking lot and drove
away. The lights behind them in the name of the restaurant went black as the car sped off into the
darkness.

....Feels like being underwater
Now that I've let go and lost control
Water kisses fill my mouth
Water fills my soul....

The ride back was a very short and Ororo somehow found her self in his room. They had
a drink and laughed at the arguing couple across the hall from them. Apparently Remy had made
quite a few mistakes this afternoon and was finally sick of being yelled at all the time. She
obviously didn't care. Their battle had become a yelling match and he had clearly said the wrong
thing when they could hear her sobbing. The fight was over then and their were only faint sounds
of her sniffling as they walked down the hall.

....Kiss me once
Well, maybe twice
Oh, it never felt so nice......

He had leaned in and kissed her again. They sat and kissed for what Ororo felt was
forever. But it was a good forever. While they sat kissing she managed to unbutton his shirt and
she felt so safe as he held her tightly against his chest. He showered her with kisses, neglecting
no part of her body. It was wonderful. He was wonderful. Everything just washed over her like
waves of warm water. She let down all her guards and surrendered her all to him that night.

....So break me
Take me
Just let me fill your arms again
Break me
I'll let you make me
Just let me feel your love again
