He was going to tell her last night. Logan was anticipating the other night’s movie night with Rogue. He was flirting with her every chance he got, and was only hoping she got the hint he was throwing her way. Jean wasn’t helping matters much and was starting to get on his nerves; every time he was near Marie she would suddenly appear to throw herself at him. Didn’t she have a husband who should be servicing her; he definitely knew that wasn’t his job. Jean really pissed him off when she showed up after he and Marie got back from the movie. Logan and Marie have been dancing around the subject of their feelings for each other for months, and last night was going to be the night he wanted to take things to the next level.
Rogue’s odd behavior the past two weeks didn’t help his nerves much. Since the explosion at the mutant holding lab she has been acting differently especially around him.
So to say the least saying he was nervous on thier movie night was probably an understatement. Before Rogue came into his life he never had any lasting relationships let alone emotional relationships, and now he was trying to have a serious relationship with his best friend.
Logan never put this much effort into a woman before, and her odd behavior had him putting even more effort into their relationship. He was hoping tonight would be the night he could initiate a romantic relationship with her.
Standing at her door he looked down at his clothes.
~Wow I really am acting like a teenage boy going on his first date~
Biting his lip he raised his arm only to bring it back down to rap his knuckles on her door. She opens the door and all the nervous energy he was feeling was back with a vengeance.
~Pajamas! Really! She’s wearing fucking pajamas~
“Umm… Hi Logan, can I help you with something?”
Feeling like he didn't have much of a choice he had to save face somehow. Forcing out a fake deep, bellowing laugh he answered her. “Come on Marie. We go to the movies every week.” After he said that she looked even more confused than when he was standing at her doorway. Logan was really starting to get angry, and though he’ll never admit it to her he was also hurt she had forgotten about him. “You really don’t know what I’m talking about huh? Well it’s nice that you were thinking about me.”
~Fuck now he sounds like a whiny teenager~
Still looking at her he noticed the spike of panic in her scent, and her eyes shifting back and forth like she was afraid of something. Taking a small step closer to her he could tell her panic had nothing to do with him.
“Sorry Logan, it’s just things have been a little hazy since the explosion.”
Logan felt a tinge of guilt at her response because if that was the case then she didn’t forget about him.
“Did you still want to go? Or are you going to bed?”
He was a little disappointed because he enjoyed having these weekly movie nights with Marie. Not only were they enjoyable but they also made him feel more human, and it distracted from his animal side.
“Yeah of course I do just give me about 10 minutes to get ready.”
Logan couldn’t help the wave of relief washing through him. “Ok Marie. Don’t take forever,” he said probably more brash than what was necessary so he didn’t sound like a pansy.
Marie didn’t take long to get ready, but while she was getting ready he had time to think. As much as he would love making love to Marie now was not the time to let her know how he feels.
He was pacing the hallway in front of her door when she came out; she came out wearing skinny jeans with boots, and a long sleeved forest green top.
Walking toward her he put his hand on the small of her back and started leading her to the mansions main entrance. The car was already at the front when they exited the doors, as they made their way down the steps he pushed the car clicker to unlock the doors. The ride there involved her asking what movie they were going to see, and making small talk with each other.
When they got to the theater, and he bought the tickets for Avatar a movie she was begging him to see with her for weeks, he thought she would be excited that was the movie they were seeing. If he didn’t know any better he would think the Marie he knew never came back from that explosion.
While they were watching the movie he couldn’t help making small circles on her thighs or on her arm next to his on the armrest. While he touched her he could smell her arousal, and the only thing stopping him from jumping her bones was the anxiety laced with her arousal. Her scent once again set it in stone that she wasn’t ready for a relationship with him.
When the movie was over Marie didn’t say anything to him about the movie. The whole car ride home neither of them talked which made for an awkward silence. When they got inside the mansion Logan decided to instigate a conversation.
“So did you like the movie?”
“Yeah I had fun we should do dinner next time instead though.”
~Hey that isn’t such a bad idea maybe he can finally talk to her about what’s going on~
“I know a nice place we can go to next week. Do you like Mexican?”
“Hi Logan. Rogue. Rogue you look a little tired you should probably get some rest.”
Logan didn’t mind having Jean around but man did she have some bad timing. Ever since he stopped giving her his undying attention she appear out of nowhere just to flirt with him. Logan would be the first to admit Jean was a very beautiful woman, but sometime she felt like she was the center of the universe.
Logan snickered a little when he saw Marie roll her eyes at Jean. Marie was making her way upstairs when she answered him, “Mexican sounds good to me Logan consider it a date.” He could hear she was already at the top of the stairs so he didn’t answer back.
To get away from Jean he just told her he was tired and would see her tomorrow, he could tell she was about to complain so he left her standing in the entry while he made his way to the Danger Room the one place he knew no one would bother him. Making his way down to the lower levels and to the danger room doors he entered his code opening the doors. Before he started his program he made sure the observation deck was locked to anyone but himself.
“Computer run program”
Logan look at the walls as the scenery changed from the drab gray to a bright sunny day at the beach.
“Logan over here,” Logan didn’t have to look hard to find the owner of the voice. Lying down on a towel in the sand was Marie in a bikini, Logan walked towards her ready to work out some of his aggravations.
