“Oh”
Marie was under the bed covers, whilst Logan sat on top of the bed wearing only a pair of jeans.
“Oh, OH! Is that all you can say Logan, we….we had sex, we got married, MARRIED for Christ sakes, and all you can say is OH!” Marie shouted at Logan.
Gathering the bed sheet around her body, Marie stood up from the bed grabbed some clothes from her bag and moved into the bathroom, slamming the door behide her.
“Marie this isn’t a big deal, we both wanted it last night.” Logan said through the bathroom door.
“Not a big deal, NOT A BIG DEAL!!” Throwing the door back open and walking right into Logan.
“Logan this is a BIGGGGG deal. We got MARRIED.” Marie walked past Logan, gathered her clothes from the night before, and shoving them into her bag.
“But last night you said-” not giving Logan a chance to finish his sentence Marie butted in.
“Last night was last night. And if you remember right we were both drunk, we couldn’t even remember what we did right away.” Pausing to look up at Logan, Marie saw the sadden expression on his face.
“Hey!” Marie said walking up to him and placing her arms around him. “It’s not that I don’t love you far from-”
“Then let’s give this a chance Marie, I know we can make it work.” Logan pleaded tightening his grip on her.
“Logan…*sigh* look at me Logan.” Logan turned his face down to look into Marie’s eyes. “It’s not that I don’t want to be with you far from it, but I’m only 23 years old and I’ve hardly lived my life. I want to see more of the world, experiences new things, and before you say it, yes I know this is one of the new things I can experience, just not yet. I need time Logan to think things through properly. And I need to that you will stay with me, not just go off and sleep with some bimbo but that you wont run any more, that your willing to stay in one place, to start a family, ’cos that’s what I want if we stay together.”
“Anything you want baby just don’t leave.” Logan begged again.
“Promise me Logan, look me in the eyes and give me your word that you won’t run off if we have a fight, that you wont sleep with or flirt with anyone else. Because this here us being married is a life time thing you just can’t walk out on it at any time-”
“Like you are now!” Logan wasn’t giving up with out a fight. “Marie I love you isn’t that enough?” Logan asked hoping it would.
“Promise me Logan, look me in the eyes and say it?” Marie was now the one pleading.
“I… I can’t darlin’, I wish I could but I can’t.” Not being able to make the promise Marie need to hear to see him keep, Marie moved away from him, they both dropped their gaze from one another.
“Then you can’t have me, not till we both sure that you will keep it.” Marie raised her head to look at Logan. “So I’m not going to sit and wait for you to be ready, I can’t be with you on the this trip knowing that I may never have you again and I’m not just talking about the sex, I mean in heart, body and soul. You may have said that last night and this morning but do you really mean it now?”
Marie asked him, but by not looking at her Marie knew the answer.
“I’m going to go back with the others I think it would be best for both of us, gives us both time to think and get away from each other.” Picking up her bag, Marie walked over to Logan and kissed him hard in the lips.
“I know I said I want to experiences new things, but some of them I want to do with you, so please hurry and make up your mind.” Not looking back Marie walked out of the bedroom and into the room of now mostly awake zombies.
“Hey chica what’s up with you?” Jubilee asked walking over to meet her at the bedroom door.
“It’s nothing I’m just coming back with you guys.” Marie answered trying to hide her now teary eyes.
“What, you not staying here with Logan, I thought you two still had places to see?” Jubes asked her.
“Yeah well I’m cutting it short; I’m not really feeling well and just want to crawl into my own bed.” Knowing not to push it any further, Jubilee placed her arm over Marie’s shoulder and walked out of the hotel room with her.
~Logan P.O.V.~
I can’t believe I just let her walk out of here I’m so stupid. Why couldn’t I just tell her what she wanted to hear?
::Because its not want you want, not yet any way:: A little voice in Logan’s head was saying.
::If you want to be with her, you have to prove to your self first that you can be faithful to her in every way, which means no running when ever you feel like it, trying not to fight to much-::
But what about One-eye? Logan argued.
::Well that’s just putting him in his place now and again so that’s ok::
Thank you.
::But this is the big one that you MUST stick with, you listening Logan?::
Yeah hit me with it.
::You can NOT sleep with ANY other women, can you handle that?::
Can I handle that huh? Of course I can, can’t I? God this is hard, but the easy answer is to be with Marie she’s the one I love.
But if I stay with Marie I would be giving everything up. But I was doing that anyway by staying at the mansion.
But giving up sleeping with bimbos that I don’t even remember their names by the time we are at the motel. I can do that, I mean come on not once in the last 3 months have I been with any of those girls, been more worried about looking after Marie making sure she was happy, putting her needs before my own.
So why couldn’t I just tell her that?
::Because it would mean facing reality, before, you weren’t thinking about it, you didn’t have time just as long as Marie was happy then you were happy. Now that’s she’s asking you to make this choice, to make it real for both of you, you couldn’t face it could you?::
No, I guess your right, I mean I’m right I mean…
“God I’m having a fight with my self I must be really losing it.” He said out loud walking over to the bedroom window.
As he looked over Las Vegas, he couldn’t help but wonder if he would make a good husband, and some day a father.
“A father me? Who I’m kidding Marie don’t want to be with me, let allow have my kids. Maybe I did the right thing letting her go back to New York. She can talk to Charlie’s and he can sort this. Then when I get back, Marie and I can be just the same as before.” I hope anyway.
As he looked over Vegas Logan couldn’t help but look down on to the busy roads. As he did Logan felt a pair of eyes looking up at him. It was Marie; even from way up high he could still point her out in a crowded place.
Looking at her Logan knew not only in his head, but also in his heart that he hand made the biggest mistake of his life letting her walk out of the room.
Not even thinking to put on a shirt or even shoes, Logan ran out of the room and headed for the elevator. Riding the elevator down felt like an eternity to Logan, when it did finally reach the ground floor Logan raced to the front entrance praying that he was not to late to catch Marie.
But as Logan feared he was to late, the car that was carrying Marie and the other X-Men was already down the road and almost out of Logan sight.
“SHIT!!!!” I cried out.
::OKay Logan think, the X-geeks came here by the Blackbird which means they will be in New York in a few hours. If I head out now I can get there with in a few days. This also means a few days without sleep, but I can do that.::
With this thought in mind Logan ran back up to his room and started packing, getting ready to head back home, home to Marie.
