It was quite cold and very rainy, Rogue was soaking wet and water was dripping from her silken dark silver hair. She was glad to have made it to the bus station but unfortunately there were no buses to board.
"Seriously! No buses! This is such a disaster; I am going to die of wetness here!"
Then some guy out of nowhere came with a purple umbrella, "hello! I am Maxemilliano Suarez and you are?" he said.
"Hello but my name is not for advertisement, forget about knowing it," Rogue replied him.
"Oh! Come on! It is not a lot to sacrifice by telling me your name," Max said and Rogue said to him, "well for me it is, anyway, what's up with the purple umbrella? are you gay or something?"
"No I am not, I am actually more straight than the first man on earth," Max answered.
"Oh really! Wow! What a stupid answered you gave me because you most probably do not know what the first man on earth did." Said Rogue.
"Whoa! Quite an attitude you got there, but I kind of like it." Said Max shrugging his shoulders and Rogue flagged a tight grin at him.
Being nice to the males was a taboo to her, unfortunately, that included Kris. The only male that had escaped this wrath was the Chihuahua shivering on her lap, Padfoot. Max starred at Rogue, she realized that but ignored it.
After a little while, Max was still starring at her and finally she said, "Why are you looking at me so much? It makes me feel odd, stop it!" and Max said, "oh! I did not know it makes you feel that way. I'm awfully sorry."
"It is alright," Rogue said to him and Max asked, "Can I please now know your name?"
"Ha! You little rascal, quite tenacious aren't you? So be it, my name is Rogue Western." Rogue responded.
"Well my mother taught me that patience is a virtue I must posses. Rogue! That is a weird name to give to a girl, what does it means?" said Max and Rogue replied, "honestly speaking, I have not the slightest idea what it means."
"Why not you ask your parents?" Max inquired.
"I am afraid I cannot."
Max saw her lashes flinch at the question and suspected he pressed the wrong button but continued with his inquisition.
"Why not? If I may ask,"
"Because they are dead." Rogue said plainly while stroking Padfoot. Max dared not press on in case she broke down. He suspected they must have died when she was young, considering the way her face turned completely white when he mentioned the word 'parents.'
In a few moments Rogue realized it was really late, "oh! It is so late and I got to get home but there are no buses." She said and Max said to her, "No need to worry Rogue, your knight is here. I will drop you off." and Rogue politely thanked him.
Max stood up from the bench and held out a hand to Rogue and helped her up.
"My! My! You are such a perfect little gentleman!" Rogue said as she got up and Max responded, "thank you, but don't belittle me, I am actually 32 years old."
And Rogue said, "You are still little because I'm 38 years old."
"What?!" shouted Max and Rogue softly said, "just joking I am 31 years old, why are you so surprised?"
"because you look much younger, I thought you were 19." Answered Max and Rogue said, "19! What the heck?! Dude, I am no longer a teenager ok! I'm a big girl now, a woman of my own."
"Sorry!" Max said.
"So where have you parked your car, mister?" Rogue asked and Max replied, "just about four miles away!"
rogue was shocked and exclaimed, "What? 'just about'! it is four miles and you still have the guts to say, 'just about'. Has your brain turned to mush? You don't expect me to walk four miles now do you?"
"Gee! Calm down I was just kidding, its only two meters away from here. What a fiery temper you have there!" Max said.
"Well you ought to get used to it sooner or later," said Rogue.
"Well I'm not really sure if I can get used to that kind of temper because I am a cool guy," Max said as he clicked the unlock button on his car key holder and opened the door for Rogue.
"Uhm! You sure do know how to treat a lady," Rogue said and Max responded, "Like I said, I am a 'cool guy'" and Rogue laughed "ha-ha! Cool guy" indeed." She said.
