Aisha followed Li's path going after her, with Ren right behind her, seeing Li talking to someone in a black sedan just as Li was about to get in. "KY WAIT!" Hurrying to catch up. Li looked to see Aisha was calling her.
"Give me a minute, park there." Gesturing to the vacant spot by the driveway she came from.
"Ky, what happened?" Aisha looked her over. "Your hand." reaching seeing her knuckles bloody and her hand swollen.
Li pulled her hand back. "I'm fine. I'm about to go get it looked at… I'm fine." Li gently placed a hand on Aisha's.
"You are not, and if you were, neither of you would bleed or fighting."
Li looked to the car, holding up one finger. She breathed deeply. "Listen. I'm mentally not in a great place. It's not your job to fix a grown man who throws temper tantrums and goes drinking and coming to another woman's home unannounced in the dead of night ranting about the Venom." Her brows knitted she went to say something, then stopped.
Aisha agreed silently, "It's not your job either. Nor is it the reason you're so hostile. Talk to me." Ish pleaded.
Li swallowed, "Gat just… I was happy Ish… even with him lying to me, I went to work and I was blissfully ignorant.." her eyes felt wet as she confessed. Li just sighed, shaking her head. There's no time now for her to be normal.
It confused Ren as she listened on; she thought that they were tight, and who was she referring to? The girl wasn't sure if she should say anything, but her curiosity got the better of her when hearing her speaking her Mother's language. Excusing herself, she prodded, "You speak Mandarin, cause that's bitchin'!"
Li smiled softly. "Among others, but no time for stories now." Turning back to Aisha, shrugging, "I don't know which pissed him off more. Maybe finding out everything he had ever said, I understood, or he thought maybe he'd get away with it." Aisha agreed, looking at Li's hand every so often, causing the woman to hide her hand that rubbed on the fabric of her jeans was causing her pain.
"I'm not sorry for some of the things I said. I meant them. And you're right, I didn't really mean letting him get the chair would have been a good idea. I would miss him." Li flinched. Her left hand was throbbing.
Aisha couldn't say anything, nodding she took and held Li's right hand, giving it a firm squeeze, taking her to the car waiting for her. "I will still stand by what I said. I will see you later. Come over?"
Li shook her head. "I'll call you. I cannot be around Oshiri right now. Got other shit I still have to deal with too soon. I'll be by."
Ish pursed her lips. "You have to 'work' together. You cannot avoid him forever. I'll talk to him, though." Aisha opened the car door helping Li in. "You take care of her, or she'll kick your ass."
Li laughed that sounded more like a sob when she slid into the passenger's seat. Aisha leaned in and kissed her cheek, "Call me when you get home."
Li nodded. "I will… see you two later." The car pulled off with Li, heading to the clinic.
Watching the car pull off, Aisha and Ren headed to Purgatory. "I thought you all were friends." Ren questioned, hearing the stories that were told about the three of them, seeing firsthand the fighting. It was unsettling.
"Good friends fight, honey, but this is something different. And not for me to tell." Aisha entered the mission house, they cleaned it up some, much better from what it used to be. Li was back at it with the big plans to set Stilwater right. They wove through the building to the underground hotel that served as the Headquarters of The Saints.
"Where's Johnny?" Aisha asked.
One of the Saints pointed to the bar, no one was chatting like they normally do, the music was even low, there was a wide berth around Gat, no one wanted to set him off. Johnny sat with a towel of ice Shaundi had given him. Aisha trotted down the stairs, Aisha pointed to the sofa for Ren to just relax. Everyone was on edge. Ren took a seat, switched the channel to one of the big screens, and watched some music videos. Not loud, just enough to have something playing in the background. Looking over her shoulder, she saw Aisha snatching his hand away turning his face to hers for inspection.
Johnny flinched in pain. "Did she make it home?" He drew out. She looked him over, hair disheveled and missing his glasses.
"She's gone to get looked at. What the fuck were you thinking?" Aisha shook her head, exasperated, the way he charged after her like that.
"I wanted to know what happened."
"Yeah, I see what she is talking about. Nothing, she would have told me."
Johnny turned his head, running his tongue over his teeth. He went to grind his teeth, but stopped. He put the ice pack back on. Li and her talk, and much to his embarrassment Li must have repeated things he said to Li. Maybe Ish knows what flipped Li's switch, "When did she speak anything other than Japanese?"
Aisha, rolled her eyes, tugged at Gat to follow her, grabbing a clean towel and an open bottle of vodka from behind the bar, gingerly sliding off the stool he followed behind and went towards the bedroom Li had fixed up, across from the main entrance that was once an office, so she could talk to him privately. "She told me to tell you a few things. I guess that would be now."
Closing the door to the room, sitting him down on the bed, tilting his head up, seeing there was a cut on the corner of his mouth. "She wanted me to tell you a bit about her family, and her... hold still, this will sting." Aisha poured alcohol and tapped at his lip. Johnny closed his eyes against the sting.
Aisha looked again and a small abrasion near his eye, "Oooh, she got you good… Her Aunt Fu wasn't her grandmother, but her… like… what did she say, Nanny, like a caretaker?"
Aisha used a new part of the cloth checking his hands and arms. "Her family is rich.. Old money she said, family squabbles had her living here... and yes, she speaks a few languages, she was taught to, private tutors, fighting lessons..." She looked at Gat and shook her head, Ish ran her fingers through his hair and listened to him hum in response, "You will have to ask her the rest, one day. She really isn't liking you much right now."
"Why though, what happened that night?" He licked his lip. He needed a drink, badly.
"Nothing, I told you that. She was mad because you came by drunk, and she was happy being 'blissfully ignorant." Aisha would never tell him she knew how he talked to Li. Li didn't want to tell her half to time.
He looked up, his light brown eyes searched her eyes, Aisha raised an eyebrow nodding, feeling Johnny's kneading the back of her thighs, pulling her close, rubbing on her hips sliding up her sides, his hands feeling her soft coco skin under her shirt. She hisses softly as her hands on his neck, her doe eyes held his gaze.
"Come're." He pulled her closer to straddle his lap, his lips instantly kissed her neck, along her jaw, down to the other side of her neck, nibbling hearing her whimper grabbing the back of her neck steading pulled away to roughly kiss her luscious lips. Gat hasn't finished being angry. Li would have preferred to be with Troy? Ish will help ease his tensity.
He rubbed up Aisha's back, "No bra?" his timber chilled her. He smirked, his hand slid to her small breasts, finding her nipples hard with want, and needing attention on the palms of his hands.
She hummed as he sent tingles to her core with his touch. "Johnny…"
"Hmm?" his head was under her shirt teasing her heresy points. She sighed, gripping his shoulder, holding his head in place.
Massaging her left breast, she slowly ground on him, stopping. She caught herself, "Johnny, this…" Her head fell back, with his tongue play, there was nothing she could think of currently.
Gat stopped his fondling, pulled his shirt off, tossing it aside, laying back, pulling her level with his hardened member. Aisha sucked in at the feel of his hard length and his tight sculpted chest, lean torso under her fingers. Shivering against him, she whimpered when he bucked up against her already soaking center. Walking his hands up her side, pulled her down once more, kissing her pillow soft lips.
"Me fighting turns you on?" He whispered against her lips, humming her response, agreeing that having a gang member as a boyfriend was arousing, no lie, that her body always wants him when she watches his muscles flex when he works out.
Johnny rolled them over so Ish was now under him, towering over her he came crashing down on her lips again, sucking her lower lip, their tongues hungrily darting in and out of each other's mouth, their sloppy heated kisses sending pulsing waves if heat between her legs.
Pulling away, the look in Aisha's eyes saddened momentarily. "Pants off." He smirked. "You won't wait long, baby." smiling in appreciation as she slid out of her pants and lace panties, her skin so smooth and supple, seeing she shaved. "For me?"
Aisha shook her head no. "For me." Pointing to herself with a purr.
Gat chuckled, stepping out of his pants, the black boxer briefs set on his hips, Aisha let out a breath, seeing the impression of his eight inch hardened manhood pressing, straining to get out.
She crooked a finger, and Gat positioned himself over top of her. She sat up slightly, one finger hooked on the elastic of his underwear, sliding them down, freeing him.
He kisses her again, with one hand testing the heat between her legs, her whimper harsher body twitching, tightening stomach muscles, how bad she wanted him right then, but he was deliberate, sliding a finger so slow on the wetness of her, slipping a finger in her to the knuckle, out and slow, then a second to stretch losing her up for him.
Her juices coated his knuckles, her gasps alluring. He dipped his head into the crook of her neck. Kissed across her fevered skin a soft bit to her shoulder, as he guided himself, slid his full length into her.
A gasp, a straggled whimper, as he settled within, her walls twitching around him, conforming to his width. His mind fogged briefly, pulling out slowly, sliding back into place.
Balls deep he pushed her back to the middle of the bed, holding her hips in place he sat on his heels, pushing where there was nowhere else for him to go, she was slick, a micro wave of pleasure washed over her making her hotter, her leg twitches Gat pushing in again, a gasp, and then another with a roll of his hips.
"Johnny." Aisha pants. He was so deep in her, filling her, he rolled again. She bit her lip.
Gat watched her. He rolled once more, her gasp, mouth open, longing in her half-opened eyes. "Johnny…" she whined. He shifted positions, putting his weight on his elbows, a quick kiss as he pushed against her.
Hooking her shapely legs around his muscular arms, her legs spread wide with him between her thighs.
He pulled back, and pushes, Ish's arms around his neck, slick with sweat, he pushes, she pulls him closer kisses to his sore jaw, heavy breath fanned his ear, he closes his eyes, his pace quickening, causing her to tremble, her pants quicken with each stroke.
"Ish…" he kisses her. She came, one after the other. He felt cold on his back, looking over his shoulder still grinding into Aisha, saw auburn hair and the door closing.
His pace quicken, slamming against her walls, slamming harder into her, she cries out in dizzying pleasure, gripping his arms, his muscles tight, sweat covering them both, he slams into her one last time before pulling out and spilling on her stomach.
Johnny leans forward, kissing Aisha. "You good."
She giggled, "Yes…. Does the shower work?" she felt too good to move.
Gat shrugged, going to see, turning on the water, gesturing for them to take a quick one. The Boss's room successfully christened. And knowing Li, she won't step foot in it now.
Ten minutes earlier, when Li was on her way to her tiny apartment, stopped to go to the clinic, Ramon had picked her up, seeing her holding her left wrist when he pulled up, offering to take her to the closest doctor. She spoke with Aisha, then made her way to be seen.
"Jefa, what was that with Gat?"
"Years, I wouldn't be doing this if it wasn't for him. I'm doing this more to spite Troy." She held her hand out for the nurse to clean. "I am just… the car triggered it, so it's no one's fault but my own. I'm just angry."
Ramon nodded, anger he understood. He wasn't pleased with Troy either after he and several others found out he was an Undercover. The way they were cracked down on them seemed like Troy locked him and others of the Saints down personally.
Ramon spilled what went down. How Gat was there in the first year, angry and hostel. He had every right to be. They lost one that gave a damn. She was cold, yeah, but she took care of the city. There one minute... then it changed. As if it wasn't devastating enough, the rumor started that Li might be alive. That infuriated him more.
Li had really become mourned. As fast as the Saints fell from grace, it set in that she was gone as, one by one, members filled the cells. But the one piece that didn't sit well, there was no body amongst the wreckage. Not one in the news reports anyway.
Everything was blown to hell, but there were the charred remains of five persons, pieces, but…. Males that were reported and over heard. Just knowing she was there, she told her crew, Troy knew, Gat and Aisha knew; Did she survive something like that? Could she have?
What started as a rumour spread like wildfire that the night of the explosion, one of the crew was sitting near the docks by the old lighthouse, saw a small boat docking in the middle of the night with a bodybag, being carried in the Pen.
Gat by year two seemed to seethe less, meeting Shaundi, who was arrested during a drug raid, needed protection, and who better to come to than Gat? He took her in, only after finding out how useful she was with making Pruno.
Then by chance meeting with Pierce, who was in lock up already after Vice King's downfall, saying he knew how Li felt with the overthrow of their leader, Benjamin King, working with him to get it done, that level of respect was unheard of.
It was there he met up with Carlos. Ramon had to warn his little brother, not see the modern day Clyde without his Bonnie… Gat was out of control. No one wanted to be near Johnny.
Johnny was top Enforcer under Julius, but when Li was running shit, because Julius Little disappeared on them one night. They became a crazy ass power couple. She reigned him in, and now he was even worse than ever. His disregard for anyone and everyone, the name Johnny Gat, was to be feared. All of it to get to Troy for his lies and, more importantly, Kyouki.
350+ and attempted, before they brought him in. Li and Gat held the city down without question. Gat was hostel, it filled him with rage. Troy would come periodically wanting to speak with Gat, and yet nothing came of it. Gat was hell bent on ending Troy. It was best he did not see him.
All the while Gat planned, get into the Southern infirmary, Saints even trying to bribe the guards, and they were extremely hush-hush about whether they kept a sleeping inmate Southside. Claiming it was haunted, the only people who were staff went to that area and only after lights out.
When Carlos heard about the plan, he volunteered to go down to see if they actually held Li in the facility. Ramon immediately objected. It was when Ramon had his back turned for just a moment before Carlos got shanked. Ramon beat the inmate that did it, causing him to go into solitary. Having Shaundi lace the Pruno causing the North site to fill up, since no one was allowed down to the south infirmary. But today, this was an emergency. Ramon didn't find out Li was really alive until Johnny's televised trial when she burst through the courtroom doors. The whole prison went wild.
"What did he mean by what happened? Did something happen?"
"Nothing too bad, just bs, he should know not to do." They bandaged Li up, and the nurse said they were free to go, not before getting the prettiest patient in today's phone number.
"Wow, like I'm not here. What I'm not your type?" Ramon teased, flipping his hair as he walked out of the office. The man apologized with Li wide eyed laughing uncontrollably, handing her number over. Li paid her bill, and they left back to HQ.
"So you speak how many languages?" Ramon prodded when they were stopped at a light, looking over to the now Mysterious Li.
She coughed, "A few, let's leave it at that."
"Bueno Jefa, bueno."
"Thanks for taking me to the clinic, and not pushing this unlike other bull headed peoples. I'm not really ready to talk about it."
"Ok, How's the hand now? Good thing there was nothing broken. You gonna be alright like that?"
"Yeah, I'm right handed. It will heal."
Riding along a familiar song came on the radio as they rode, Jeeps, Lex Coups, Bimaz & Benz - Lost Boyz, Li looked to see if it was cool to touch the volume, getting the nod, turned it up, she sang along, Ramon smiled knowing the song and nodding along.
The music was good tonight as they just pulled up to Purgatory. Ramon parked after letting Li out. She didn't want to go home just yet, and figured she had a few clothes to change into as she moved from her small apartment.
Li went right to the bedroom to change, there sprawled on her bed, two bodies going at it, she didn't know what to say, her mouth to the floor, wide eyed she saw the dragon tattoo scrawled along his shoulders and along his neck when he sat up, "OH SHIT!" Her mind screamed, she turned pulling the door behind her quickly.
Was she trippin or was Gat pounding someone who wasn't Aisha? "No... shit…" Her back pressed against the door, she tried to shake the image, "No, you didn't see that. Call Ish…"
She fiddled for her phone but couldn't get it out of her left front pocket, she went to go down to her office and saw Ren sitting with Carlos when she peeked over the balcony. Hurrying down the stairs, she noticed everyone seemed quiet. It was mildly depressing. "Ren?" Li's eyes closed as she tried to not run back and kill him.
"Oh Boss, Hi, you alright?" She was sitting next to Carlos, who looked up in greeting. Both stood looking her over, nostrils flared, her face said it all. Something ain't right.
"Boss, you aight?" Pierce came over.
Li forced a smile. "Yeah, I'm grrrrreat. Where's Noel?" her voice was hard.
Ren nodded. "She went up to talk to Gat."
Li closed her eyes and breathed out heavily, her anger deflated. Chuckling, she patted the girl on her shoulder, nodding, "Ramon will be in soon." Pointing to Carlos.
Turning, she went to the bar. She now needed a drink. "WHO THE HELL KEEPS TURNING THE MUSIC DOWN?!" Li cranked up the music another dance song was playing. Reaching around, she looked for something to dull her mind. Gat was almost a dead man.
Changing her mind from the drink danced from behind the bar over to Pierce, taking his hand. "You remember this one?"
Crush on You - Lil Kim playing over the new sound system that was installed. She poked at Pierce, prompting him to sing, "Yo, I be buyin' 'em V's, so all my girls be eyein' Cease
Comin' backstage, dyin' to get pleased
You got me, I rock thee, Versace and linen
While you stop your grinnin' wit' bunch of foxy women
Why you speed ball with cards, that's invalid
I get clothes, custom made, from a stylist."
The others grooved along, Li popped her arm on Pierce's shoulder, dancing with him.
"Ayo shorty, won't you go get a bag of the lethal
I'll be undressed in the bra all see through
Why you count your jewels thinkin' I'ma cheat you?
The only one thing I wanna do is freak you
Keep your stone sets, I got my own baguettes
And I'll be doin' things that you won't regret
Lil Kim, the Queen Bee, so you best take heed
Shall I proceed? (Yes indeed!)
I'ma throw shade if I can't get paid
Blow you up to your girl like the Army grenade
You can slide on my ice like the Escapade
And itchy-gitchy-yaya with the marmalade
Who me? Not you, oh yes, who's he?
I even dig yo' man's style, but I love yo' profile
Whisper in your ear and get you all shook up
But don't blush, just keep this on the hush."
The room was On their feet dancing, nodding, singing along, as their Leader and Lieutenant performed for them. Slowly forgetting about the incident from earlier. Soon, the couches and chairs were moved to make room for a dance floor. The lights turned down low, music bumping, and bodies pressed together, some new song came on. The beat was hot, Salt Shaker - Ying Yang Twins Featuring Lil Jon & The East Side Boyz. They made a circle of people around Pierce and Li who did routines to some songs.
Gat emerged from the room after a while, leaving Aisha resting. Seeing Li dancing with Pierce and several others from the crew... No, what he saw, Li grinding on Pierce.
Li felt it, someone watching her, she turned and looked around, seeing Gat standing there watching her near her office slowly turned her back to him. She raised her bandaged wrist above her head, Gat squinting, already frowned; he walked down to the first landing. He watched as she looked over, making sure he saw her turn once again to the rhythm of the song, look over her shoulder coyly, flipping him the bird as she rolled her hips.
"Fucking show off." Gat broke out into a smile as he watched her.
As she turned her head, he rolled his eyes, so she caught them. He snorted, going to grab a bottle of water. Gat watched them all dance as he grabbed two others, tossing one to Kyouki as she approached.
"So, are we gonna talk or you wanna keep fighting?" Johnny asked over the music.
Drinking a bit after she opened the bottle looked him in the eye and shrugged. He nodded and headed back to where he came, with Li right behind him.
Opening the door, Aisha was sound asleep. Placing the water on the night table, he saw Li in the doorway across from him, watching from the corner of her eye. Li shifted her weight, heading the way up and out of Purgatory. He watched her purposefully slow her pace, stopping every so often to drink a little water. Just as he would get close enough to pass her, she'd take two stairs at a time.
Once outside, she nodded in greeting to the guards, then headed to the garage. Gat following as he made sure if she was leading him to a place they could possibly talk.
The keys dangled in her left front pocket, she turned a hip to him; he reached down taking the key opening the door. Li took a drink. She stood in his way when he went to go past her. It wasn't until she finished her bottle did she then move into the building.
He closed the door behind them. She spoke, "The day you decided on what you wanted to do, you did it."
Gat looked confused, she pulled the car cover the Venom sat underneath. She stopped pulling the back. He hadn't seen it in years. She was still beautiful.
Li opened the door and sat behind the wheel. "You kissed me, and handed me the keys. Knowing I was dating Troy." She ran her hand over the steering wheel. "I'll ask you again, what is the matter with you? Why do you make comments about us being together, Aisha is your..."
"Pussy. I'm with her because I couldn't save you."
Li paused, her beast was rising again. That's not the first time he has said this. Getting out of the car, she closed the door, her hands tingling. "Sorry, could you say that again?"
Gat opened his mouth and Li slapped him hard, her face unreadable. Gat threw the water bottle in his hand aside, picking the woman up, callously slamming her on the hood of the Venom pinning her under him.
She gasped for air. Pain shot through her shoulder, and he was heavy, he had her legs positioned so she couldn't push him off her. She glared at him, going to wipe that irritatingly smug look off his face tonight, she balled her fist. He could have insulted almost anyone else, her even. He insulted the wrong person.
Gat caught her by her elbows after her first swing. Squeezing, she laughed. He had tickled her, but she didn't stop trying to fight him off. They slid from the hood of the car, falling to the cement floor as he protected her head from hitting on the way down. He laid there on top of her, shifting to hold her arms down.
Nose to nose, Gat knew her tricks to escape. Not giving her an inch to move from under him. He growled, "Stay down." Holding her wrists in one hand, he propped himself on his elbow. Angry honey eyes glared at him with fire as he forced her to lie beneath him. He wasn't backing down either. Johnny knew why she was so angry. "Troy never deserved you."
"And you did?" she tilted her head as best she could.
Licking his lips, he be damned if their little fight didn't spark something. "Yes."
Scoffing, she smiled. "You killed 300 something people for me too?" Kyouki wiggled to move, but firmly placed his body atop hers. She was stuck.
Gat could smell her lilacs and peaches. "Yes, 387." He was getting hard again. He wondered if she could feel it too?
Her eyebrow rose slightly. "Bit obsessive?" He was heavy, and she felt like a trapped animal. Kyouki wasn't kidding about Gat and his powerhouse punches. He was just holding her in position and it was no effort for him. God knew how much he irritated her so.
"No." Shaking his head as he shrugged.
"All to get to Troy?" She frowned, what she saw a while ago, and their current position made her tingle.
He was looking at the position they were in, if he just moved. She felt warm. Hearing a gasp escape her, Gat knew she was biting her tongue. He smirked. "I'll do it again." Backing up to sit on his heels, he let her go, his hands defensively held up. Gat's body was awake against hers. Somewhat glad it was just enough light in the garage that she wouldn't notice the bulge in his pants.
Li sat up, scootching back, never taking her eyes off him, and tilted her head. Through narrowed eyes, she was at a loss for words. Gat seized the opportunity. He will play this game, and only with her. "You're rich?" His back was to her, he went to pick up the empty water bottle.
Took her a minute to hear him through her wild thoughts. "My family yes." She looked away, rubbing her neck.
"You're Obachan, not your biological grandmother?"
"For all intents and purposes, yes."
"You speak more than what you did today."
"No. I'm sor-." Li caught herself close to apologizing.
Johnny quickly continued with his questions. He didn't need her apologizing. "Your name is?"
Clearing her throat. "Kyouki Irissa James."
"Irissa. That's cute." Gat nodded, Li shrugged. Gat rubbed his chin, thinking if there was anything else he should ask. Seeing his car once again, he went to get into her. The only woman who listened to him, adjusted the seat, hopped out, pulling the tarp off to unblock the muffler, sliding back in the driver's seat, turned her key and nothing. He tried again.
Li stood brushing her behind, flicking her shirt free from the dirt, her body hurt, running her hand up the hood of the car, leaned on the door seeing his confusion, made sure he was looking her in the eye, "She won't start because you want her to. You'd have to wait for her to get pieces first… Then you might not like her after. Also, if you won't listen to what I tell you. Who is really running the Saints then?" Li turned from him, leaving him sitting where he was without another word.
Sitting there, he watched as she left. "The fuck she talking about?" Crossing his arms, he thought awhile about what she said before getting up and locking up the garage. Ish needed a round two.
Troy had been trying to get information about Kyouki. Li wasn't her last name, and he had no leads other than her family names of Wong and James. The thought hit him. He hurried to the files department. "Hey Chief, what brings you down?"
"I need the file on Fan, Lin, Sharpe, William, and Price, Joseph."
"You need that now?"
"Nah, tomorrow on my desk by noon."
"Pierce Shaundi, do we have people over in S.U?"
It had been two months since Li started "working" as a Substitute Professor in the Advanced French course when the previous Professor took ill. The better part of her students were Saints members, they were trying to get a definite lock on who was distributing around the campus. Shaundi called in a few times, checking on how she was. Li said that one of the other Professors had been cuddling up to her, and she was about to go on a date with the man for more information.
"Boss, you seriously going to sleep with people."
"Unlike you, Cause Mr. Washington told me, I don't. I have other means. I need to go… Here he comes."
Professor Calahan was the other language teacher teaching the transfer students English, handsome, a few years older by the slight grey at his temples, but young enough to have dealings with the Samedi to have probable leads. He had taken an interest in her when he noticed her sitting in the same spot in the cafe he frequented himself one morning before classes started.
"Good Morning Ms. James." He nodded.
Kyouki smiled, looking up from her phone, adjusting her glasses. "Mr. Calahan, Good Morning. Seat?" She gestured to the open chair across from her.
He kindly took the seat as she removed her glasses, laying them on the small circular table between them. "I just got off the phone with my girlfriend, jokingly said I'd ask you out for drinks this weekend." Kyouki kept the soft smile, resting her chin on the back of her hand. "What do you say?"
Blushing slightly, he smiled kindly. "I would like that. Where would be good for you?"
Feigning a thoughtful look, "How about Pussies 7:30pm this Friday or Saturday?"
"Friday will be fine, and here I was about to ask you." He smiled and Kyouki chuckled, nodding.
"See you this Friday, Professor." She politely excused herself. Her tight black pencil skirt needed straightening before she headed out of the building. He and a few others watching her walk out.
Johnny, meet me at Pussies 7 on Fri. Dress like you have money.
Li went to the salon. She alone could not take the time to tackle her hair, she considered cutting it, but she could hear her family now. Taking Aisha with her, they enjoyed a morning treat with them. For Li it was work, and it had been a long time since she last dressed up.
~*S.R.1*~
Three years in, one August in 98, when Li returned early from her scheduled trip, they suggested she stop dressing as a tomboy mostly by her doting uncle, and improve her attire. She agreed, as she was to represent the family now. Also, per the wish of her uncle.
Li came back with credit cards and cash in hand, deciding that she could do a little better with her appearance as it was her late birthday gift. She headed to the salon and got a full makeover. She had her hair done, manicure/pedicure, and minimal makeup she felt good.
Then she took herself shopping, she bought herself, and wore a black miniskirt, she had her eyes on–showing off her lovely well toned legs; she purchased a black pair of ankle strap heels, along with a white long-sleeved dress shirt and argyle purple and black V-neck sweater vest.
Li brought a ton of clothes, fruit scented body oils, shoes, jewelry and other accessories to match, and feeling right proud of herself she headed to her home near the church and unloaded her items, walking over to the HQ she nodded to several as she passed, one coming to find her as Johnny had been looking for her.
"You needed me Gat?" She stood in the doorway to his office, was covered in posters of a scantily clad Aisha and other females. He was sitting with his feet on the desk, polishing and cleaning his guns and knives.
When he looked up, he was at a loss for words. When he laid eyes on her, she was breathtaking. She wasn't dressed up, but she wasn't wearing her baggy clothing either. He didn't think that many curves lived on the human body. When she showed out for his birthday, that was the last time he saw her dressed. And other than Aisha's tight body and that body for all to see posted all over his walls. He had nothing intelligible to say.
~*S.R.1*~
Silk press she wore a mid ponytail with a slight curl at the end of her hair laid over her shoulder, French tipped nails with tiny gems along the line of color sparkled, she donned a halter open back nude metallic mini dress that stopped so short, if she bent over, everyone would know what color underwear she wore. Silver open-toed heels, silver hoops and silver anklet completed the look.
When Aisha watched her dress, she questioned just how her breasts did not fall out staying in place.
"Double stick tape, and magic." Li gestured as Aisha burst out laughing.
"All of this is for?" Ish helped her pick out a coat. It was getting chilly out now that it was near Thanksgiving.
"Information, thank you for going with me, I'm sure you and Johnny need a new place to play." Li teased as they grabbed their coats, clutch, her keys in hand, they headed to Purgatory, she needed to get her black work car.
Aisha laughed. "I said I was sorry. It was one time!"
"I do not care, you aren't living this down. One time too many In My Bed, ya nasty!" Mock anger she snorted when they came knocking, "Hey, Lugnut and Wrench, Car please. Oh hey Ren."
Li spotted Ren, near Carlos, and held her hand out as she took the keys from Ramon. "Thank you sir."
"You look good, Jefa, Noel, ya'll going on a date?"
"Work related." She dropped the coat, tossing it in the back, and turned around posing. Ramon and the other two nodded.
"Don't hurt em too much." Ren called, swatting Carlos's shoulder.
Throwing up the peace sign, she pulled off. "How long have they been seeing each other?"
Aisha went to question who, but when Aisha always brought Ren out with her when she came to Purgatory, she hung out with the brothers. "A month or so."
"That's adorable. Thinking of training Ren, I remember how she would hold the sword. She asked me, but I haven't had time. How's her studies?"
"Better, but she is having trouble with the math."
Li said. "Yeah… that's uncommon."
Aisha looked over and rolled her eyes. "Did you just…"
Li shrugged. "I'm just saying, I'm decent at math. First of the many things taught, gotta count the money and all on the fly."
"You are a trip."
"Having fun?"
"Always."
"Good, it will just keep getting better." They laughed. Li went over the plan she had to get her man to give her the information she needs, unbeknownst to them a car followed them some distance away, snapping pictures.
It was just one of the many times someone had snapped a photo or twelve of the Saints' leader. All sent to the man, who was intrigued by the young woman who caught his eye those months ago.
'This is Ms. Kyouki Li, now leader of the Saints. She was in a coma a few years ago.'
"Thank you, Jones, thank you very much. Jamie, cancel all my meetings for tomorrow."
'Yes Mr. Vogel.'
They arrived at the Nightclub Pussies, Gat sat and looked at his watch. He had a drink already, waiting and currently nursing another. He spotted Aisha coming in. A smile crept on his face, looking at her. She looked gorgeous. Her white sheer dress blouse, white lace bodice corset, and matching pants fit her really well. No doubt Li was playing dress up with her again. Then the devil in question walked in. The entire room came to a dead crawl.
~*S.R.1*~
However, Li was just showing her long legs. 'Has her legs always been that long?' his thoughts veered hard. He had teased her before about sleeping with her, but he knows she wouldn't because of her tight friendship with Ish. Kyouki Li, the light-skinned, five foot six, lethal weapon that was his road dawg, when they weren't trying to see who could piss the other off more.
He realized she could meet him or anyone in a fight and beat the shit outta dudes bigger than her. He respected that. She is intelligent and cute, but now… no… now she was what every dude would lust after, and they could only think about getting close. She carried it well, very well. Fuck Troy, Gat grew irritated.
~*S.R.1*~
Gat covered his mouth, wiping the corners of his mouth. His obvious ogling did not go unnoticed.
"You're staring again." Aisha teased as sat watching Li as Johnny took a mouthful, swallowing it with a hiss.
"Sorry babe." Kissing her temple.
"Nothing to be sorry about. I already know. And so will this guy she's seeing tonight."
Gat looked at Aisha and almost went to complain, before Aisha patted his thigh, "Business, do not mess this up."
Li slid into the booth across from them and checked her bracelet watch, pulling her long hair over her shoulder as she was looking at the door. "He should be here in a few. You remember what I told you, Noel?" Li grabbed what Johnny was drinking and he snatched it back.
Li rolled her eyes, then flagged a server down and ordered an 'Aquamarine.'
"What is that?" Aisha asked, curious.
"Part of my Birthstone drinks I started back when I worked at T&A. You take half cup of Hypnotic and half cup cold lemon lime soda, and it makes the prettiest color." She waved at the server when she caught his eye and signalled she would need two.
Gat was looking away out into he crowed, Kyouki and Ish sitting on either side of him was torture. Kyouki may as well had nothing on. Ish was going to get it when they got home, for sure.
The Professor finally arrived a good fifteen minutes later Li got up to greet him, Gat followed her from the seat through the crowd, he growled under his breath taking another drink and showing he needed a refill, her dress completely backless, all of her back was exposed, her scars looking more like stars of a birthmark and if that damn dress wasn't short enough already the thoughts of this dude hand broken when he touched her exposed skin sent him in a silent fury.
The way the man was being led, as he watched her walk in front of him, gently pulling him behind her, wiping the corners of his mouth he was hooked, Aisha leaned into Johnny, kissing the corner of mouth. Gat settled, some.
Coming back, she introduced everyone. "Professor Calahan this is my cousin Noel James, and Jonathan King, guys this is Professor Calahan, he works in my department he teaches English to the transfer students that come to the University."
"Please, just Donovan." He nodded, almost missing the introduction with the way he was ogling his date, to Noel and shook Johnny's hand as Li slid in close to Johnny.
"Very firm grip. Do you lift?" Donovan was surprised to meet a teacher who also worked out.
Not noticing the thousands of bullets his body has been riddled with from the moment he walked into the club to the seat. Johnny just looked at him and nodded.
Li patted Johnny's hip. "He isn't a teacher, he worked as a bodyguard for Benjamin King." As she smiled at Donovan, "And by all means call me Irissa."
"What a beautiful name. You know it means Rainbow in Greek." Donovan kissed the back of her hand. Li smiled coyly, and it made Gat want to punch the man. "You are absolutely breathtaking, I must say. Wait did you say Benjamin King?"
Johnny reached for his drink when the waiter came back with their drinks. "Bring me a bottle, Jack Daniels."
Li looked to Aisha, who shrugged. Li chuckled. "Yeah, I met the man once or twice. I doubt he would remember. I was in awe! How's the drink Noel? I told you it was good, yes?" Taking a second sip of her drink.
Aisha nodded, "It is. Thank you!" Taking another sip looking out on the dance floor.
It didn't take long for the buzz to hit Li. She was warm, giggled as she danced in her seat.
"Would you like to dance, Irissa?"
"Yes!"
Donovan moved and held his hand out for her to take. They hit the dance floor. Aisha tugged Johnny. "Let's go."
Li was grinning as her mark was dancing with her. Seeing Aisha come closer she pulled the woman close and danced with her. "He is going to be a bit tilted. Go pour this is his glass please."
Reaching in her gravity defying top reached in pulled a small baggie out, Aisha pushed Johnny into Li who continued to dance, Li grabbed Johnny closer reaching into her top once more pulling a second smaller baggie, with a pill inside, Johnny raised a brow, crooking a finger, Johnny leaned close. "It's about to get weird in a minute."
Li turned and reached for Donavan, his hands on her hips. Gat was dancing behind her as he saw her bare ass cheek, he had to look away, this was a job, not personal. He had to keep telling himself it was nothing going on. Watching out of curiosity, she linking her fingers around his neck.
She whispered in the man's ear. "I saw you in the school gym. I bet you can beat him in a fair fight."
Donovan looked up to Gat and nodded. Ish came back with drinks in hand. Li had hers and Donovan's. Handing the man his glass, she took a sip of hers. "Thanks Love." She said over the music.
Getting him to be more relaxed than he was didn't take long. Cosmic Girl by Jamiroquai came on, and they lost Li to the music. Aisha knew Kyouki was gone one of the woman's favorite songs. She took a hold of Isha and sang to her, with Gat watching them both dance together.
Kyouki stopped to pose as she sang. "She said, step in my transporter so I can teleport ya all around my heavenly body." The crowd danced around them.
Donovan watched her ass wiggle. He pulled her closer, grinding his junk on her ass. Li turned in his arms, facing him again. No one touches her behind that isn't her man. When the song was over, Li inched back to their table. Baited, the man loosened his grip and slowly wavered.
"Donnie, you ok?" Li helped him to stand.
"Yeah, woo!"
Li nodded smiling, Gat tapped her shoulder. "What did you give him?"
"Altoids, some of the Loa Dust and a dash of Fire."
"You are going to kill him!" Gat laughed so hard he doubled over, telling Aisha she hollered.
Leading him to the booth, she slid in Donovan, leaning on her, reaching for her bare chest. "I want to fuck you so badly."
Li removed his hand before Johnny could. "You and everybody else, honey."
"I'm gonna kill him if he keeps this shit up."
"No, I got this." Li excused herself, going to climb over him, the whimper the man let out, Aisha spit her drink as Gat goes reaching for his gun, forgetting he wasn't strapped tonight. "Donovan…. Hey sweetheart, you want to do me a favor?"
"Anything, you are a fucking Goddess." his hands on her hips, trying to pull her down onto his erection.
"One, stop touching me. I didn't give you permission." With a smile as she then slid off of his lap, grabbed him by the collar, slapping him when he continued pawing her.
Donovan whimpered again. "Harder Mistress."
Grabbing her clutch, she nodded to Aisha, who got up as Li was pulling Donovan's hand, heading to the bathroom.
"Oh, no the fuck they aren't..." Gat got up storming behind them, grabbing the man and punched him in the face.
"Johnny no!" Li shouted, barely heard over the music. "Donny, you ok hun, that big muscle head hurt you?"
"Muscle head, what the fuck was you bout to do?!" Looking at Aisha.
Aisha smiled, pointed to Li, who had her phone out texting Shaundi. "You slipped you alright, Donny, who is your supplier? I will need more dust. Let's get you some air."
Get helped the girls pick the man up from the floor, when they were outside, Li was whispering in the man's ear, "Mark Gabby." Donovan kept repeating, Li texted Shaundi and confirmed the name, Shaundi relayed that the person in question was spotted by the scouts over near frat row.
He was distributing to the students that night. Placing Donovan into his car, one valet, a Saint who worked at the nightclub, drove the Professor home. Li pouted a bit. '"If it wasn't work related."
"Fuck does that mean?" Gat stood arms crossed.
Li pulled the coat tighter to her, trying to keep the chill off. "I have someone to go kill. I will talk with you two in the morning." She hopped in her car when it was brought to her and she headed to the biggest Frat party tonight. The Omega Tau Phi's had a very important guest.
Reaching for her phone. "Shaundi, get me transferred out of the school in two days."
"Right Boss."
"Campus officials are still trying to sort out exactly what took place today after a deadly shootout around the biggest party of the year. It is presumed that members of the Sons of Samedi were on campus pushing their designer drug "Loa Dust" before being assaulted by an unknown assailant. However, officials say no Loa Dust has been found, leading many to believe the Third Street Saints have been behind the deadly shooting before procuring it for themselves before vanishing.
This is Jane Valderamma reporting live from Stilwater University. Back to you Jack."
