Part Seven
Tammy
Hi chere, Lapin drawled as he stood in
the open doorway of Stevies room.
I promise to control myself. I promise to control myself, she whispered to
herself.
Oh chere, you don have t do dat fr me. I don min if
you trow yself at me, he grinned.
How bout I throw a brick instead, she suggested.
Mmm, mus get pretty stiff sittin at dat machine, he said walking
up behind her as she sat in front of her computer.
No, not at all, she said trying to give him the brush off.
Ooo chere, your shoulders be all stiff, he said putting his hands on her
shoulders.
Strange, she said cocking her head, I suddenly hear the theme from
Jaws.
Mus be your imagination chere, he whispered and began massaging her
shoulders.
Please dont do that, Stevie said as his hands strayed farther forward
than they should have.
Do wha chere? Lapin breathed caressing the side of her neck with his cool
fingers.
Touch me like that, she replied as her eyes took on an eerie blue glow.
Don it feel good chere? he whispered in her ear.
It feels fine, I just dont want you to do that, she answered.
Why chere? he asked and licked her earlobe.
Because Im not interested in you. I thought I made that perfectly clear
several times before now, she said pushing in the keyboard drawer on her desk.
Why you not inrested in me chere? he pressed nuzzling her neck.
Stop that, Stevie ordered becoming very annoyed with his persistence.
You like, don you? Lapin smiled.
No I dont, she said and spun around her chair.
Mmm, I always enjoy tings face-t-face better mself, he
grinned.
Enjoy this, she spat putting her hands on his chest. Then she hit him with 240
volts of AC power, not enough to hurt him but enough to knock him unconscious.
Mmm, dat lile tickle, he smiled still conscious and still standing.
Now I know why dey call you Live Wire. Cmere Lightin Bug.
Umm, she said stunned by his lack of reaction to the shock she gave him.
I think I hear someone calling my name. Stevie bolted from her chair and ran
out of her room, followed closely by Lapin DuBois.

Remy looked up from the mail he was reading when his
door opened and slammed shut. Whats wrong chere? he asked Stevie.
Hide me, please. Youve gotta hide me, hes after me, she said
glancing around the room looking for a suitable hiding place.
Who aftr you? he asked.
Your cousin. Please hide me, hes coming, she asked.
In de closet, I get rid o him when he come in, he said nodding toward
the closet.
Thank you so much, she sighed relieved. Youre a prince.
Get in dere, hes comin, he said nodding his head toward the
closet.
*****
Hey cousin, you see dat lile
lightin bug, Lapin grinned.
Nope, Remy replied looking up from his bank statements.
You sure, I couldve sworn I saw her run in here, he said looking under
Remys desk.
Don boter, she ain here, he said opening another envelope.
Den you don min if I look in your closet, Lapin said going over to
his cousins closet.
You only wastin your time bra, she ain here. Henh, she probly
hidin in Logans room, mebbe Warrens. How bout you stop
wastin your time in here and go check dere bfore she fin Papa,
Remy said putting down his mail again.
I jus check t make sure she didn sneak in here while you
werent lookin, he smiled and turned the knob on the closet door.
Go away, no one in here but us trench coats, came a muffled voice from behind
the door.
Hey dere Lightin Bug, Lapin grinned triumphantly, Its your
lover man, Lapin.
Go away, Im not interested in you, she said from behind the door.
Aw chere, you hardly know me, he coaxed.
Im not interested, she repeated.
Aw come on chere, jus one lile kiss, he smiled.
Actually, and I quote, Id rather kiss a dead mooses
butt, she yelled.
Gambit snickered from his place on his bed. Guess she tol you cousin, he
said suppressing his laughter at the look on Lapins face.
Dat not a nice ting t say t ol Lapin. Now come out here
an be nice, Lapin coaxed doing his best to ignore his snickering cousin.
Lapin, leave her lone, Remy said.
I tol you Remy, dis between me an her, Lapin replied.
Fine, den get out o my room, he sighed.
An if I don, you gonna make me cousin? You cn hardly get t
de batroom by yourself, let lone come after me, the older man smirked.
I dont have t get out o bed t make you leave,
Remy said, his eyes taking on a glow.
Come on cousin, you ain got much spark right now either. Sides, your
doctor said you wasnt sposed t use your mutant powers yet, Lapin
chastised.
Not gonna use my powers, cousin, Remy smiled.
Fine, den I open dis door, he grinned.
Almost too fast to see, Remys hand shot under his pillow and in one fluid motion
threw an object at his cousin.
Lapin heard a thunk in the wood of the closet door and looked down to see what
his cousin threw at him. He paled when he saw the knife embedded in the wood of the door,
a hairs breadth from his crotch. He turned toward his cousin and said, What
you tryin t do Remy? Turn me int de priest hood?
I said t leave her lone, Remy frowned. Now get out while you
still a man.
Fine, you always been interferin in my love-life anyway, he grumbled and
stomped out of Remys room.
Gambit slid to the edge of the bed and stood up. Then, using the furniture for support, he
made his way to the closet to retrieve his knife. He took hold of the handle and pulled it
out of the wood.
Is he gone? came Stevies voice from the closet.
Yeah chere, he gone. You cn come out now, he said leaning against the
wall.
The door opened and Remy had to suppress a laugh as she peeked out. She looked so cute
drowning in one of his trench coats. Whatd you do to get rid of him? she
asked pulling off the coat.
Trew dis at him, Remy smiled and started to slide down the wall.
Here, lean on me, she offered putting her arm around his waist to support him.
Tanks chere, he said accepting her help. Mebbe I should get back
in bed.
Good idea, she agreed. Come on.
