Rm 217, Saturday morning

[fantastic_torch]

Johnny woke up and groaned, then he slipped out of bed, unmindful of the female form lying there still asleep. For now he simply wanted to get dressed. He had to work today and while he wasn't much up for teaching the Mambo, it put money in his pocket. Just like the woman whom he had slept with.

When he was dressed and his hair combed, he walked over to gently nudge her awake. "Hey, wake up. You didn't pay me last night and I need the money before I leave." Sadly, he couldn't even remember her name.

[ooc: For the girl in bed with him, and why yes, Johnny is now Johnny Castle from Dirty Dancing. Huzzzah!]

Savannah opened her eyes in confusion for a moment. "What?"

She wasn't quite awake yet.

"I need payment. What you offered." Johnny held out his hand, palm up. "I'm kinda in a hurry."

She brushed her hair out of her face. "What I --- who the hell are you?"

Johnny rubbed his eyes. "You had a few to drink last night," he reckoned. "You can't remember? I'm Johnny Castle and I need that hundred bucks you promised me."

"You're trying to say that I offered you money to sleep with me?" Oh that fire was stating to burn in her eyes. "I would never sex with anyone but my boyfriend, Johnny." She couldn't have been that drunk, she would never do that to Johnny.

Her Johnny

She dug in her purse and handed him the money, refusing to let him see her cry.

"Well, yeah," he said. "Think what you will, lady, but we slept together. If it makes you feel better to think we didn't, then I'm fine with that too. My lips are sealed and so are yours."

Johnny took the money and shoved it down the pocket of his tight black pants.

Shit. She wasn't crying, was she? "You ain't crying, are you?"

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

"No," she sniffled, looking down at her hands.

"Listen, it was just one night and I'm sorry you can't remember it," he said, pausing to stare down at her a moment. "You propositioned me. You wanted this. I ain't going to run to your boyfriend if that's what you're upset about. I'm not stupid, lady."

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

"I've never slept with anyone but Johnny."

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

"...and I would be Johnny," he stated simply. "Listen, you regret it, I get it. I won't be back." He started for the door.

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

"I just... how did we... get here?"

Where was her Johnny?

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

He shrugged. "It happens. I give dance lessons and you ladies like to push the envelope so to speak. I need the money so it just works out." He wasn't proud of it, it just was the way it was. "I'm sure you have a ready excuse for your husband, right?"

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

"Johnny's not my husband, he's my boyfriend. And he's going to be pissed." She ran a hand through her hair. "Excuse?" she choked out. "No. I'll him the truth and what I remember. I don't lie to Johnny."

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

"Right. Boyfriend. Whatever." He was sure all the ladies lied to their significant others. It's the way his world rocked. "Let me give you a word of advice; lying ain't half bad if it saves your skin. You'll never see me again if you don't want. That'll be the end of it."

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

"I wouldn't mind seeing you again -- but without the sex part. I don't cheat on Johnny and I don't lie to him, either."

"Fair enough," he nodded with a slight smile. "Whatever you do, you take care. I've got to get to work." With another nod, he headed for the door, wondering why nothing really seemed familiar to him.
