Chapter two: The Photo Album

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Saints Row.

Boss and Shaundi, walked back into the penthouse and found Pierce sitting down begging a stripper to come upstairs with him. He was quite drunk.

"Come on girl just, come upstairs with me." He begged.

"I already told you that'll cost you extra." She said with an annoyed tone.

"And I told you I'll pay for it AFTERWARDS." He said with the same annoyed tone.

"Sorry can't do that either you pay upfront or no deal."

"Damn girl fine, fine."

He looked over at The Boss. Boss already knew what he was going to ask.

"Boss can you hook, me up with some money?" He said in a pleading and slurred voice.

"Nope sorry Pierce you still haven't paid me back for the last time I did that." He responded.

"Come on Boss don't be like that I thought we were friends." He said begging.

"Pierce we are friends trust me 'cause if we wasn't I would've already split your skull open for not paying me back. Besides don't you have money I thought you were a 'Japanese commercial sensation?" He asked him.

"Shit this is where my money went." He said looking around at the party. "Besides you gotta pay upfront for the girls to come along."

Boss let out an annoyed sigh. "Ok fine but I swear if you don't pay me back for this time and the last time I swear I'll get my money back one way or another." He said giving Pierce a menacing look.

Pierce gulped at that. "You got it, thanks Boss." He said in a frightened tone. "Hey baby I got the money now please follow me upstairs."

"OH NO PIERCE YOU ARE NOT FUCKING ANOTHER STRIPPER IN MY BED AGAIN. I HAD TO BURN MY SHEETS AFTER LAST TIME." Shaundi yelled at him.

"You heard her Pierce better find another place." Boss said.

"Fine. Follow me baby I got another place." He said in a defeated tone.

Boss and Shaundi both grabbed a drink and sat down on the couch.

"I swear he needs a fucking girlfriend." Shaundi said as she took a sip of her drink.

"Eh I don't know I kind of like seeing him beg although my wallet doesn't like it very much."

"Why do you always give in to him?"

"It's kind of hard when he gives you that 'Please oh please I'm so fucking desperate to get laid' look. He's such a loveable idiot."

"I guess but if I were you I'd stop giving in to him all the time."

Over the next few hours they enjoyed the rest of the party and everyone's company until they saw Pierce come staggering out of the gym wearing nothing but a black thong.

"OH GOD EW JESUS CHRIST PIERCE." Boss yelled as Shaundi laughed.

Pierce tried his best to form a sentience but it was no use.

"C'mon Pierce you've had enough." Boss said as he grabbed Pierce by the arm.

"Shaundi get something out of my dresser for Pierce to wear. I can't stand looking at him in this fucking thong." Boss said as he had a disgusted look on his face.

"Gotcha Boss."

Shaundi made her way to Bosses room. She approached his dresser and opened the top drawer to find his boxers she blushed a little and closed the drawer laughing a bit.

She opened another drawer and found some black free throw shorts she grabbed them and noticed a purple photo album. She picked it up and looked at it. She wanted to open it and look at the photos inside but she thought it might be rude to do that without his permission.

"Hey Shaundi what's taking so long?" He asked her.

She turned around and saw him standing there. He looked down and noticed her holding the shorts in one hand and his photo album in her other hand.

"Oh you found my photo album."

"Oh um yeah sorry I just saw it when I grabbed these shorts for Pierce."

"It's ok. Did you look at it?"

"No I didn't want to without your permission."

"Oh it's fine hang on let me get these on Pierce and we'll look at it together." He said with a smile.

"Oh ok." She said. She smiled at that. She didn't know why she was smiling at the thought of her and The Boss looking at a photo album. She just told herself it must have been the alcohol.

"Ok he's dressed." She heard him say as he walked in.

"Where did you put him?" She asked.

"I just left him on the couch. Everyone's left now it's just the three of us. Anyways c'mon and sit down we'll look at the pictures." He said with another smile. Shaundi would never admit it but that's one of the many things she thought was attractive about The Boss she just loved to see him smile.

"Ok." She said with another smile. He opened it up and the first picture they saw was of his 11th grade yearbook photo. In this picture he had longer black hair down to his neck and it had purple streaks in it. His beard in the photo looked like it had recently been shaven.

"Oh my God Boss look at you!" She exclaimed.

"I know I know." He said blushing.

"It actually fits you." She said with a smile on her face.

"I was a Goth kid in school."

"It seems to fit you."

"Oh there's more of me in here wearing eyeliner and nail polish."

"Oh my God you have got to let me see."

He flipped ahead a few pages and sure enough there he was in one of them. In this picture he was wearing black eyeliner that was harshly applied and black nail polish painted perfectly on each nail.

"Wow Boss this look actually suits you." She said in an impressed tone.

He flipped another page and she saw him with a group of people that was decked out in all black, eyeliner and nail polish.

"We tried our best to look scary." He said as he chuckled.

"Well I don't know about scary but I must admit you do look kind of cute like this." She instantly blushed after she said that.

"Well thank you." He said with a smile. He turned the page and this time she saw a somewhat older Boss dressed in a black beanie, a purple shirt, black baggy jeans and black sneakers with black laces. In this picture he was standing next to Johnny.

"This was the first picture that Johnny and I ever took together." He said in a somewhat sad voice.

"You two look so badass in this picture." She was right they did look badass. Boss was holding a baseball bat on his shoulders and Johnny was holding a shotgun and both had serious looks on their faces.

"Aisha took that picture of us. We weren't being as serious as we looked in this picture though we were actually very drunk heheh."

"I can tell actually." She said. They turned the page again and in this photo Boss and Aisha was standing next to each other. He had his arm wrapped around her neck while she had her arms wrapped around his waste both of them were smiling and looked somewhat drunk.

"That was at a surprise birthday party The Saints threw for me." In the background Shaundi could see a banner that said "HAPPY BIRTHDAY SKYLAR."

"Who's Skylar?" She asked in a curious tone.

"That's um my name." He said as his face turned red with embarrassment.

"So that's your name. Huh I like it, it fits you."

"It's funny no one has called me that in years besides Johnny." He said with a frown.

"So how did The Saints find out?" She asked in another curious tone.

"I got really wasted and told them." He said in chuckles.

"I should've known." She said smiling. Her smile quickly left as she thought about Johnny some more she really missed him as did Skylar.

"I miss Johnny so much." She said as tears started to form in the brims of her eyes.

"I do too." He said in a calming voice. She started crying a little. He noticed this and pulled her next to him more and hugged her tightly. Wanting to quickly change the subject she started talking about his name more.

"So now that I know your name does that mean I can call you by your name?" She asked.

"Well I guess but only when it's just us deal?"

"Deal." She said smiling. Both of them sat there in silence that wasn't awkward or comfortable just a silence.

"Well Skylar." She said in amusement. "It's getting late so I'll be heading home now." He looked at the clock on his nightstand and it said "1:30 a.m."

"Wow I didn't know it was that late are you ok to drive?" He asked her.

"This wouldn't be my first time driving home drunk." She said with a smile on her face.

"Well I don't want to risk it you can stay here tonight in the guest room." He told her.

"Fine I'll stay." She said to him. He walked her to the guest room and turned on the light.

"Pierce is dying to have this room." He told her.

"I can see why but knowing him he'll just fuck it up with posters of naked women and stuff like that."

"Yeah that's why I kind of don't want to let him have it. Hey why don't you take it?" He asked her.

"Why?" She asked.

"Well think about you can crash here when you've had a long day or if in your current case are to drunk to drive and happen to be here you can just sleep here. Plus you can decorate it however you want."

"Well I guess it would be nice to have a second place to stay just incase." She admitted.

"See there you go. Hey do you have anything to sleep in?" He asked her.

"No actually I don't I guess I'll just sleep in my clothes."

"As if hang on." He told her. He made his way down the hall back to his room and opened his dresser and got a pair of black sweatpants and a black tank top both of them were to small for him now. He made his way back to her room and handed her the tank top and sweatpants.

"Here you go." He said as he handed her the clothes.

"Thanks." She said to him. She stared at him for a few seconds he looked back at her with a confused look on his face.

"What?" He asked her.

"I need you to leave so I can put these on." She told him with a smile on her face.

"Oh my bad sorry." He walked into the hallway and closed the door and listened to Pierce snoring very loudly.

"Ok you can come back now." She said to him. He walked back into the room and saw her laying down in the bed.

"Thanks for the room and clothes Skylar." She told him.

"It's no problem." He responded with a smile on his face.

"Well I'm very tired and I'm sure you are as well so why don't we get some sleep?"

"I hope we can Pierce is fucking snoring away down there." She just laughed at that.

"If you can sleep through explosions and gunfire I'm sure you can sleep through a little snoring."

"I guess we'll see then." He told her. "Hey if you want to stay a little while longer tomorrow I'll make us some breakfast."

"Can you even cook?" She asked in a curious tone. He chuckled at her questioning.

"You give me to little credit Shaundi."

"Ok fine I'll stay for your breakfast of cereal if you manage to not burn that by some miracle." She said in a amusing voice.

"Trust me Shaundi I'll make you the best damn breakfast you ever had."

"Can't wait." She told him. He walked over to the edge of the bed and bent down to give her hug. She reached up and wrapped her arms around his neck.

"Goodnight Shaundi."

"Goodnight Skylar." After she said that to him she placed another kiss on his cheek and smiled at him afterwards.

He returned the smile to her walked out of the room flipping the lights off and closing the door behind him.

Walking down the hallway he listened once more to Pierce's loud snoring and made his way to his room.

Stripping down to just his boxers he laid down in his bed pulling the huge blanket on him he thought about Shaundi calling him cute and how she accepted his hug and then kissed him on his cheek. He smiled as he replayed those moments in his head before drifting off to sleep.
