Baxter Building; NYC; Johnny's room - Saturday night

[fantastic_torch]

Ever since leaving Fandom, and more importantly Savannah, Johnny loved his beer. Like more than usual. He also was kind of moody and cranky and his room was a mess. He didn't allow Sue in. Much.

So when he woke this morning to a scantily clad woman peering down at him, he had to chuckle. Leave it to Sue to hire hot help to kick his ass into shape.

The girl wasn't cleaning, however, she was climbing into bed with him.

"Whoa, wait there..." he said and scrambled to the other side until he slipped off and thudded to the floor.

"But Johnny, I thought you loved me," she teased with a grin, running her finger from her lip to her cleavage.

"Uh. Did I get trashed last night and can't remember what the hell happened?" If so? Shiiiiiiiit.

She shook her head. "No, not at all. But don't you recognize me? I'm your bud."

...

The hours that followed were nearly mind numbing.

Currently he sat on his sofa and watched CNN. His Bud? On the seat next to him, making sure he had a fresh beer in hand.

Johnny was sort of in a chillaxed zoned out state of mind.

"There's just no point. So good. No reason to," he said. Last thing he needed was Eve calling Savannah telling her there was a girl hanging out with him.

"Besides, what's there to tell? I called you and you had a friend over."

Grimoire Two had her moments of sneakiness. That was about the limits, though.

"No. There was no friend over. It was... my sister! Sue!"

Johnny was smart.

[blackmagic-eve.livejournal.com]

"That was your sister?"

Grimoire Two was slow on the uptake here.

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

"Yeah," he totally lied. "Sue. She's a pain but what can you do. I drink, she think she's got to take care of me."

Bud settled her hands on her hips, pouting at him.

"Oh." She frowned. "That makes sense... I guess..."

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

He heard the frown in her tone. "What?"

[blackmagic-eve.livejournal.com]

"She didn't sound very sisterly..."

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

"She's... just really nice."

Gah. That sounded bad, even to him.

[blackmagic-eve.livejournal.com]

But Grimoire Two was just dumb enough to mostly fall for it.

"Why'd she call me sweetie?"

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

"She calls everyone sweetie. It's like habit or something." Yeah, that worked.

[blackmagic-eve.livejournal.com]

"Oh. I get it." Grimoire Two sounded much less confused now.

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

"Great. That's just great." He took a long pull off his beer.
