Fatal Attraction

Disclaimer: The characters don't belong to me but to the developers of the game "Saints Row". I'm just borrowing them for a while.

My head was pounding as soon as I lifted my head off the pillow. It felt as if a fucking marching band was parading around in my head. As I opened my eyes the light cut through them like knives. I groaned audibly. Why the fucking hell did I drink like that last night?

Oh yeah cuz fucking Gat said it be fun. He's lucky he's my best friend or he'd get more than just a fucking kick to the head.

"Yo boss you up?" I could hear Gat's overly enthusiastic voice coming from the kitchen, probably helping himself to my food. But his voice just added on to my headache, plus no one should sound that okay after taking over 10 shots of tequila, but I guess my tolerance for alcohol had gone down after a couple of months of not drinking.

"Yes I'm up goddammit". I yelled back, wincing as it brought pressure back up to my head. I got up from my bed slowly since my vision was impaired; I then unwillingly padded off barefoot to the kitchen clutching my head as if it were going to implode

Gat who was seated at the table reading the morning paper, greeted me as he heard me entering the kitchen, "Good morning sleeping beauty." He said in a mocking tone, he didn't even have to look to know I look like shit.

I just grumbled in response taking a seat at the breakfast bar. He put the paper down, which was blocking his face, to take in my appearance of blood shot eyes, fucked up makeup and lion mane hair. His already smug smile just seemed to widen.

"it looks like someone had a good time last night"

"Shut the fuck up Gat." I snapped throwing him a look sharp as knives, "Don't make me regret letting you take me to that party last night."

"You know you had fun boss, but here this will help." He said as he got up to hand me a bottle of asprin and a glass of orange juice. As much as Johnny seemed to piss me off, I could never stay mad a t him. Well not for too long that is.

"Thanks man" I said taking the pills gratefully and dowsing them down my orange juice. I popped an extra one in just in case for later.

I could hear Johnny laughing silently from the other side of the breakfast bar.

I arched my brow at him, "What's so fucking funny?"

"Nothing boss, its just weird to see you so fucked up like this" He said trying to keep his laughter in. He was lucky I was indeed to fucked up to kick his ass. So I grit my teeth and went on,

"Funny. Why are you here so early anyways- Shouldn't you be at home as fucked up as I am? In fact you were shanked last night how are you even standing?"

"Baby I'm Johnny Gat, you think a small shank can take me down?" I didn't answer so he went on, "Plus I can handle my liquor- unlike you kid." He teased. I grimaced at him. I hated it when he called me kid. He always seemed to bring up the fact he's 8 years older and more capable of handling things. So what if I was 24, and he's 32, if anything he's the kid and I'm the mature adult.

"Whatever fucker, want me to bring up the Mexican Cartel incident?"

He then automatically wipes his teasing smile from his face.

Once a couple years ago Gat was as fucked up drunk as I was, and decided to take on the Mexican cartel. That was both a stupid mistake and a bad hangover to follow.

"I don't like this side of you, boss" He said fainting hurt.

"Sweetie there is no other side" I retorted teasing him lightly back .He laughed in response, and reached over to ruffle my already fucked up hair.

"So what's on the agenda for today?" He asked after some time.

I groaned automatically remembering our plans for this morning.

"We have to go pick up Shaundi and that annoying ditz actor Josh Birk"

"That fucker who plays Nyte Blade in that mommy porn sitcom?"

"Yes" I said getting up reluctantly to go get dressed.

"What exactly do we need him for?" He asked following me to my bedroom. I yanked open my drawers looking for a clean shirt to wear since I was still in the dress from last night.

"Corporate wants to put him in the movie, "gangsters in space" and since the chicks love him they figured he'd make the movie a smash hit." I answered, while motioning him to turn around so I could get dressed. Gat smirked at me and turned his back at me and went on talking. "Hey but the chicks love me too, why isn't it enough to just have me in the movie?"

I paused for a moment debating whether or not I should tell Gat and be humiliated or let him believe corporate hates him. He's lucky I'm a good friend.

"They want him to play my love interest, Gat."

Johnny was silent for a moment a little taken back from the news until his booming laughter proceeded.

He found it fucking hilarious just like I expected him to. Gat was so fucking predictable.

"What's with all the laughing this morning, does my presence just seem fucking funny to you?" I questioned a little more bitchy than needed.

"Boss your presence is a blessing from hell, I wouldn't say that." He said still clutching his stomach falling over in laughter.

I slapped him upside the head causing him to turn towards me.

"What the hell boss-" He stopped short as he turned abruptly to face me. His eyes went directly to my breasts since they were currently clad in a black lacy bra. His black eyes slowly met mine so intent it honestly made me squirm a little, since I was never used to this kind of attention from him.

"Like what you see?" I said putting my hands on my hips.

Gat automatically smacked out of it, "Huh, sorry I got sidetracked a moment there."

I nodded and told him to meet me by the car in five minutes as I went to use the bathroom.

Ever since I first met Johnny I knew I had a slight attraction to him, but I couldn't start getting feelings for him. He was my best friend and something other than mutual feelings would just fuck that up. Plus I knew in my heart I could never be what Aisha was to him. I just wasn't that type of girl.

Ah forbidden love, isn't it the greatest? hehe. I'll post the next chapter up tomorrow, because I'm kinda off making this a drabble fanfic since I'm still playing the game Saints Row IV. But anyways thanks for reading and i hope you enjoyed! Also check out my inspiration for this story on my bio- the link should be there!
