Chapter 3
The hot water poured down the top of my head quickly running down my back. I reached for the shampoo and began working through my long burgundy red hair, scratching my scalp and running my fingers through my roots and down to my ends. Once I was satisfied with everything I turned the water off and grabbed my towel ,wrapping it around my body. I looked in my mirror and frowned. "I miss when I was 18" I said to my self and went to my closet. I searched for something to wear for tonight. I grabbed a pair of dark denim booty shorts and a purple shirt with a pair of long black combat boots. I threw on a pair of black hoops and a gold necklace. Walking back into the bathroom I started flat ironing my hair. I always hated doing my hair because it took so damn long just to flatten it. After it was flatten after a long 45 minutes even though I told Johnny 20 but fuck it, I curled my ends slightly and gave my self a sexy ass Barbie bang. I wasn't the kind to put make-up on but I just added a little dark eye shadow and put a little bit pf soft lip gloss on. I was satisfied with my look and walked out of my room. As I walked down the steps Johnny was sitting in a seat in front of the bar with Shaundi and Pierce. I didn't know what they were talking about but I saw Shaundi point toward me and Johnny looked over.
"About time your ass is ready, you said 20 minutes."
"I'm I ever ready on time." I said walking towards them. I noticed Pierce was staring at me hard along with Shaundi.
"Damn boss." Shaundi said. Shaundi looked at me with wide eyes
"Boss you look hot." Pierce said
"That's nothing new." I said rolling my eyes. "Can we just leave now." I asked
"Fine." he said getting up from his seat and grabbing his keys.
"We need to get an elevator In this bitch, I'm tired of walking up and down 5 flights of Fuckin stairs just to get to where I'm going." I bitched as we made it up the 4th flight.
"Don't worry some of our boys are getting right on that." Johnny assured as we made it to the front door.
"Good." I said following him to the garage.
"What car you wanna take?" he asked
"You pick."
"We'll take the Bezier."
"Fun." I said walking over to his car. " You know you have a lot of cars and my baby got blown up.."
"Whatchu trynna Blaze."
I smiled "Can I have this car." I asked looking at him with and innocent look on my face
"No." he said flatly
"Please.." I begged.
He gave me a look before he answered. "Fine."
"Thank you."
"Whatever."
"Aw." I said to mock him when he made fun of my height. He tried to hide the smile tugging at the corner of his mouth by putting his hand over it. "You act like Dex." I said still staring at him he looked at me with a pissed off look. "Minus the whole sell out thing and instead of coming up with a plan you go in there guns blazing."
"Do you mind elaborating on what you just said."
"Every time Dex knew he wanted to smile he'd always cover his mouth but I was always able to see it tugging at the corner if his mouth, I guess it's a male banger thing." I said looking outside my window.
"I guess you can say that." he said looking at the road in front of us, the rest of the ride was mostly quite until we arrived to the bar. He walked in first and I followed leading us to the back of the place we took a seat and an awkward silence filled between us but he suddenly broke it.
"You never got over Dex?" he asked me
"I did it's just you remind me of how he use to act when we where around each other… before we hooked up."
"I don't think you have."
"Johnny I'm not lying, after I heard what happened when I was blown up, I was happy that ended things between us.. That was better then getting fucked over in the end."
"What ever you say." he said leaning back in his chair.
"Fine, don't believe me then." I said looking straight at him.
"Alright I believe you." he said before he decided to change the subject. "Now let's talk about these gangs."
"Alright, well the Samedi they seem to be the easiest all they do is sell drugs but we can't just kill them yet until we find out what they use to make there product."
"Ok who would be first?"
"Between the Ronin and The brotherhood, it depends on who comes at us first so we'll have to fuck with both crews till sombody can't take it anymore and then we attack."
"Sounds good to me, I'll take some saints with me up in areas such as the suburbs and get some heat on the Saints."
"And I get stuck with the brotherhood." I said rolling my eyes
"Is the Leader of the 3rd street Saints scared to take on the Brotherhood." he joked
"No the fuck I'm not, it's just taking on the brotherhood requires plans and I hate discussing a full blown plan…' I'm the go in there and kill every motherfucker that isn't reppin' Purple' kind of bitch" I said as I took a swig of the drink I was given.
"I here you on that one…but lets not talk about business and just have fun." Johnny insisted.
I gave him a long look before I spoke. "How the hell do you suppose I do that when I'm Fuckin stressed!"
"You clear your mind, take a sip of your drink, and then you lower your voice at Johnny Gat." he said. I began to laugh at the last thing he said. "You're an ass." I giggled
"Shit that's nothing knew." he said drinking the beer that he held tightly in his hand.
"let's go I'm getting tired, can you please take me home."
"Home as in HQ or home as in one of your many penthouses."
'Penthouse."
"The one in the Saints row district."
"How they hell could you afford that expensive ass place."
"I stole it from some people."
"ran in and killed them."
"Yup."
"Figures lets go."
As we got to the car I began to feel really wasted. But how could this be I only had one drink, they had to slip something in it.
"Ii dontt ffeel ssso goodd." I mumbled
"What the fuck do you mean you had only one drink Blaze." Johnny asked.
"Sstopp thhe ccarr." Johnny did as he was told and stop the car. I opened it an threw up.
"Shit, are you throwing up?" he asked looking over at me as I closed the door.
"Yeah." I said but I sounded normal.
"Hell is wrong with you, a second ago you were talking all weird and now your normal… the fuck did you drink."
"I don't know, just get me to my crib please so I can go to bed."
He started driving again but kept looking at me every so often. We were just 3 blocks away from my crib and I wanted to walk.
"Hey, can you let me out I wanna walk the rest of the way."
"You sure?" he asked stopping.
"Yeah."
"Alright." He said as I got out. "I'll be here tomorrow morning." he added as I closed the door.
"Ok I'll be ready."
"Stop joking."
"Get the fuck out of here." I said as I waved him off and began walking to my penthouse. I was walking really slow so it took me 30 minutes to get to the elevator. As the elevator opened to my crib I noticed it was dark and that wasn't usual. I turned on the lights and there were men and women in black and some with guns others with swords.
"shit." I whispered as I ran behind the bar and looked under the cabinet and found my guns. And started shooting everyone I could. The last think I expected was them to really start attacking me with swords, hell if I knew how to use one believe me I was no Johnny. But I had no choice but to run, shoot, and stay low.
Johnny's POV
I was at home with Aisha sitting up on the couch trying to find something on T.V. and happen to pass Channel six and heard the 'ever so pleasant' Jane Valderama voice.
"I'm Jane Valderama, I'm outside of the expensive penthouse located in the Saints Row district. And it seems there was a violent disturbance of the sound of guns. It is said that the leader of the Third Street Saints Blaze Devoli, could be coming to a end of gang-banging .. Since the fight is one against dozens… more on this chaotic situation when we get back this is Jane Valderama channel six news."
"Johnny, you have to go help her, you already lost her once you can't afford to leave" she said sitting up on the couch.
"Trust.. I'm not." I said and grabbed my shoes and headed for the door. Behind me I heard Aisha call out..
"Be Careful."
I got In my car and sped off…
Blaze's POV
I was doing fine taking on some chick with a sword we were going one on one, sword to sword. But at this very moment I heard the elevator open and sombody yelled..
"DUCK"
I did and heard a single gun shot. There in front of me the Asian women with short hair was a lifeless body. I looked back and saw Johnny walking towards me. "Next time leave that to me."
"Had nothing else to use I had no more ammo."
"Why is there glass everywhere."
"I was throwing wine bottles and cups."
"Not a big supp-" Johnny was cut off mid-sentence by a rocket launcher destroying Half the living room. As we crawled to the other side a thick ass piece of glass went threw my left hand. I winced at the pain
"Fuck." I said and Johnny turned towards me,
"What's wrong?"
"I got glass in my hand." I said showing him my bloody hand.
"Shit can you still shoot?'
"I don't know but fuck it I'm going to." I said biting my lip so I could forget about the sharp pain in my hand. Johnny handed me one of his guns and we began shooting the blood from my hand began dripping down my arm and my aim was getting pretty shitty. My hand was now completely numb at this point, I didn't want to pull the glass out at this point but I knew it couldn't stay in there.
I watched as Johnny shot the remainder of the Ronin as I sat behind the only couch that wasn't fucked up. At this point I couldn't feel my hand at all, it felt like it wasn't even there. I looked over at Johnny who just ended the life of female Ronin. I sighed with relief seeing that she was the last one. Half sliding half crawling to the wall Johnny was laying against, he noticed the blood dripping from my hand and moved quickly towards me. I sat in front of him as he began to pull at the sharp item in my hand. I winced at the pain. He pulled harder and harder at it causing me to bit down hard on my bottom lip trying not to release a painful shriek. Johnny gave on last full strength pull and in his hand was the piece of glass that was in I my hand, at this point Johnny's hand was covered in my blood.
"Better?" he asked.
I shook my head and looked at my hand. "I'm going to need something to dress this with." I said looking up at my trusty second and command who was tearing a piece of fabric off my jacket and began wrapping it around my infected hand. "What are you a Fuckin doctor." I giggled to him.
He gave a smirk before talking. "I didn't have to take it out now did I?,,, No, so shut the fuck up." he joked
"Jonathan Gat, watch your Fuckin mouth .. I'm no Aisha, that smart ass mouth doesn't work with me." I said getting up. He to began to get off the floor and get to his feet but me being the bitch I am pushed him back down on the floor. "Now come on, I'm hungry." I said putting my hair in to a messy bun. He shook his head and headed towards the elevator.
"You have a car here right?" he asked nudging me
"My Venom. Why ?"
"Good, there is no way in hell my car is starting back up."
"You fucked up the Bezier!" I yelled at him
"I came to help your ass out and crashed every 2 seconds and it broke down on the highway so I had to run the rest of the way."
"Asshole." I whispered
"What?"
"Nothing."
The elevator opened up and the lobby was full of news camera's, police officers and the 'ever so pleasant' Jane Valderama.
"Pstt." I whispered to Johnny he turned around and raised an eyebrow. I signaled him to follow me to the left. He did as he was told. And followed me. That was the last thing I wanted to do was to fight 20 waves of cops with only one good hand. The left exited leaded to the garage that was owned by the person who lived on the very top of this hotel and in this case it was me. I hit the switch that turned the lights on I searched on the wall for my keys and threw them to Johnny.
"You want me to drive." he Said in complete shock because I never let anyone drive none of my cars not even my own sister.
"Yeah, I trust you… just don't crash it."
"Alright I bet you 900 I wont crash into anything."
"Shit I don't carry pocket change…1500" I said taking my seat in the passenger spot.
"It's fine with me… Deal?' he said reaching his hand out. In looked at it and smiled.
"Deal!" I said shaking his hand.
"Ok " he said calling me by my last name.
"Ok Jonathan." I Mocked him as I yawned and laid my head to the side.
"Sleepy?" he asked glancing at me quickly before looking back at the road.
" Yeah it's been a long day."
"You staying with me and Esh?"
"Hell no!" I said. The amount of drama between the two of them lately was enough for me to put a bullet between both there eyes.
"Why not?"
"Do you not remember what happen the other day."
2 days earlier
I was going for my daily evening jog blasting music in my ears and mouthing the words as I ran. 15 minutes into my jog my phone received a call from Johnny.
"Wassup?" I answered
"Can you come over to Aisha's place!" he practically yelled into the phone
"Are you two fighting again?" I asked even though clearly I could here Aisha cussing Johnny out in the background .
"Man fuck you Esh.. Damn it Blaze can you just get over here."
"Fine I'll see you in 5." I said hanging up an decided to jog to there hell house. I wasn't that far so there was no problem.
At Aisha's
"Are you kidding me!" Aisha yelled
"I'm telling your ass the truth." he yelled back. I walked in seeing the pair with pissed looks on there face. I took a seat on the far couch away from the hot headed couple.
"Johnny your nothing but a childish kid who is a wanna be badass, all you do is go around killing people just to make yourself happy.. You sick fuck."
"Um guys?" I said trying to get the pair to calm down
"SHUT THE FUCK UP BLAZE!" the both yelled at the same time
"You called me over and now I cant even speak.. I ruined my jog for some childish bullshit, what's the point all you two are going to do is have angry make-up sex." I said walking toward the kitchen for a bottle of ice cold water.
"Come on that was two days ago."
"Alright Fine, I will stay with you and Aisha tonight but if one argument breaks out I'm out got it!"
He threw this hands in the air and nodded.
I didn't even realize I fell asleep in the car, it didn't occur to me that I did until we made it Aisha's place.
"Blaze..:" Johnny said slightly shaking me. I didn't respond. So of course Johnny being the asshole he is takes his gun a shoots the air causing me to wake up. I jumped and looked around and saw Johnny staring at me I smiled before I spoke..
"You're an asshole." I said with a light giggle right after.
"You didn't wake up I had to do something." was his response.
I didn't know I was laying on my left side until my hand started getting the cramping feeling and I winced out loud. "What?" he asked
"My hand it's cramping up." I replied.
"Well lets get in the house."
"Wait."
"What!" he said looking at me
"You need to park my car all the way up there."
"What ever you say boss." he said and closed his door. As he began moving the vehicle forward he hit the trash can on the side of the garage.
"Yes!." I yelled. "You hit something so pay up." I said.
"Bitch." he swore under his breath.
"Fuck!" I said in my seat
"What?"
"My hand." I said.
"Let me see." I gave him my hand and he undressed the wound. What use to just me blood was now a brown itchy sore. "Ewe that's shit just gross."
"It itches."
"Don't scratch it!"
"What am I suppose to do." I replied
"Get your ass out the car and we'll talk about it in the house."
"Ugh, your lucky you're my friend." I said closing the door behind me.
At the two of us mad our way inside the house Johnny was surprised to see his love wide awake.
"Hey Blaze." Aisha greeted me
"Wassup Aisha." I said hiding my hand behind my back so she wasn't sure to as questions.
"Thought you'd be sleep by now." Johnny said kissing his girlfriend on the cheek.
"Thought I'd stay awake incase you need something."
"And that would be?"
"Fuck it" she said rolling her eyes at him and walking up the stairs.
"Damn loosen up I bit girl." he shot at her
"Don't try to show off in front of your best friend now… because I'm sure she'd love to hear you get cussed out." she shot back over he shoulder and continued walking up the stairs.
I tried harder than I ever tried anything in my whole 22 years of living to not laugh but I failed I erupted into laughter at the fact Johnny was getting yelled at like 12 year old.
"Her favorite job to do is blow me 24/7"
"And not the way you like It either." Johnny was always a sexual active kind of person, I was too but he was a thousand percent worst then I was. It took him I few seconds to get what I was saying once he did he pushed me and then said.. "Fuck you." and a laugh followed behind it.
I felt his hand go around my wrist and he began dragging me to upstairs to the bathroom.
I sat on the edge of the counter as he plunged through the medicine cabinet and found some ointment for cuts.
"Is this going to hurt?" I asked not really in the mood for any more pain.
"Shit I don't know." he said as he dropped a whole blob of ointment on my hand and began rubbing it in.
Johnny's POV
I began rubbing the ointment in but something didn't feel right when I touched her hand, I touched many different peoples hand before but I felt a chill up my spine when I touched hers. I got the thinking. No. There was no way in hell I could be falling for the boss she's been my friend for years… I have a girlfriend. But what if I am? I shook the thought out of my head and continued rubbing it in I looked up when I heard her winced.
"Does it sting."
"No it feels good." she said sarcastically.
"There your free to go." I said looking up at her. Her eyes gazed down towards me and she quickly turned her head.
"Thanks." she said as she slid off the counter. Aisha was outside the bathroom waiting for her.
"Here's a pair of shorts and a tank-top for you." I heard Aisha say to her as I was still in the bathroom.
"I appreciate it Aisha."
Blaze POV
I walked off and headed to the other bathroom upstairs to changed. The black shorts and red shirt was really comfortable. I headed to the empty room and went straight bed… me being the careless bitch I am I forgot about my damn hand.
"joder (Fuck)" I swore as it rubbed up against the sheets. I tried to forget about the pain like I did with other cuts or wounds I had and just closed my eyes forcing my self to try and sleep. I gave up and rolled over onto my back… I grabbed my phone that was laying next to me and checked the time. 11:30 I wasn't one to be in bed early, I was more of a after 1am kind of person so I knew it wasn't going to sleep anytime soon. I got up and walked downstairs to the living room and watched a little bit of television until I felt my eyes get heavy. I turned the tv off and began quietly walking up the steps to the room sure not to wake Johnny and Aisha up. Making it back to the room I slid into bed and was out just like that.
_ . Morning came fast but then again it always does when you go to sleep after midnight. The sun in my eye I woke up and stretched I heard Johnny walk in.
"Well good morning Ms. Devoli." he said fully dressed
"You would call me by my last name" I said almost sounding like a moan.
"Well get your ass up so you can shower, eat an we can head to the hideout"
I got up and noticed an outfit, and under clothes sitting on the night stand.. I knew Aisha had sat it out. I grabbed it all and headed toward the bathroom. I took off the clothes Aisha gave me last night and threw them into the corner and started the shower up. Honestly there hot water was a lot more relaxing. The body wash was lavender scented and smelled really good. The shampoo was strawberry scented my favorite scent of all time. After my shower I dried off and started dressing my self… the outfit was really cute, a purple mini skirt with a purple shirt to go with it made it almost look like a dress… and a black leather jacket with my black combat boots. I decided to just let my hair stay curly just dried it so it wouldn't drip. I grabbed my clothes and placed them in the bag Aisha left in the room and headed downstairs.
"Damn, I didn't think you'd be the kind to cook Johnny." I said as he was facing the stove. Him and Aisha both turned around to face me.
"Dang Blaze when I sat out that outfit I didn't think It was going to look right on you but damn was I wrong you look hot." Aisha said as I walked closer to her and Gat.
"Well I can pull any outfit off so it wasn't that much of a shocker for me." I said leaning against the counter next to Johnny.
"You look great girl." said my best friends girl.
"Thanks."
After we sat down and ate a call came by on my phone. Dangerously in love by Beyonce started playing. I checked the caller I.d. that read Pierce. I rolled my eyes before I answered. "What's up Pierce."
"I got a plan…meet meat at the hideout." he said. "Oh yeah, bring Johnny with you."
"Alright see you in 15." I said and hung up.
"What he want?" Johnny asked
"He said he had a plan and for me to bring you with me to the hideout."
"You ready to go?"
"If you want." I said leaning back in my seat
"Alright." He sighed as he got up. "Lets go." he said before he kissed his girlfriend good bye.
"Can you drive?" I asked still pissed about my hand.
"Fine." he said with a loud sigh following it.
"Don't think I forgot about my $1500." I said as I buckled my seat belt
"That should have counted you knew I was going to it the trash can."
"That is true.. But a deal is a deal." I said giving him a small smile.
"Your such a bitch"
"Thanks out of 22 years of my life I've been called a bitch almost everyday since I was 13."
"Damn your young as hell still, your still a baby."
"No the fuck I'm not my birthday is coming up soon then I'll be 23."
"You were on 17 when you became a saint?"
"Yup, then had 5 years of my life wasted when I was in that damn coma."
"But you smoked when you first joined the Saints."
"Yeah, and I also didn't give a fuck about laws."
"True." Before we knew it we were stuck in traffic.
"estás bromeando ... nunca vamos a llegar al escondite en esta condición!" I said in my native tongue.
"Blaze… English."
I sucked my teeth before I said it in English. " Are you fucking kidding me we'll never make It to the hideout in this condition."
"Who said we had to stay in traffic… that's why we have sidewalks." he said as he turned the car onto the side walk and ran over innocent people… but then again the two of us never really gave a shit.
"There better not be a dent or mark on my damn car or I swear I will fuck you up." I threatened him as he got us back on the road.
"Relax."
"You know I hate being told to relax just as much as you hat being called Jonathan…,Jonathan" I said just to piss him off.
We were now coming down Shivington and was only 2 minutes from the hideout.
Dangerously In Love started playing from my phone. I looked to see who it was and once again it was Pierce.
"What the fuck do you want!" I yelled into the phone
"You said you'd be here in 15 minutes not 45."
"Look were almost there ." I said and again hung up on him.
As we pulled in I was surprised to see the parking lot wasn't full of cars today only Pierce's jeep and Blair's Voxel. After walking down 5 fucking flights of steps I saw Pierce and Blair at the table.
"Ok, what you got Pierce?" I asked as s sat on the back of the couch and Johnny walked around.
"So the Ronin's biggest profits come in from their casino I say you three go in there and raise some hell… they keep all there cash behind to doors on the ground floor its going to ask for a password… don't worry I already got it from the black jack dealer Shaundi's fucking, Blaze you and your sister protect Johnny so he doesn't get shot at and Bam you got it." he said
"Works for me." I said
"Me to." said Blair and Johnny.
"Alright lets go." I said walking towards the steps
"I'm going to bring some of the boys to help out." Pierce called out to us.
"So Blaze where the fuck were you last night you never texted me back." Blair said from behind me.
"With this asshole." I replied pointing to Johnny. "And Aisha." I added
"Yeah after she was ambushed by the Ronin and got glass stuck in her hand." Johnny said.
"Are you shitting me?" she asked
"Nope!" I said showing her my nasty hand.
"Gross.." she said as she sat back in the middle seat of the car.
"Let me see." Johnny said grabbing my wrist.
"It looks better than it did last night."
"It still hurts."
"You be alright."
"Never said I wouldn't."
"Oh my God just fuck already."
"Fuck you Blair." I said turning around in my seat to look at her.
"Don't deny if you want to."
"I'm not denying anything… if anyone would fuck him I think it'd be you."
" And why do you say that."
"You always pester me about fucking him.. I think you really want to."
"I don't I wouldn't Deny if I want to."
"But you'll lie if you have to."
"I think you both want to." Said Johnny looking at me with his infamous smartass smirk
"And why do you say that.. Do explain." I said
"Because I'm Johnny motherfuck'in Gat everybody wants to fuck me.. Moms, dogs, cats maybe even babies"
" It should really be a shame to be that cocky." I said.
"Like your one to talk."
"Just get us to the casino." I hissed.
