Take My Breath Away (Rhcp fanfic) PART ONE

Guilt Trip

'Beep.....Beep....Beep' the alarm clock rang throughout the dark room. The only light to be scene was from the window outside. It was very rainy, and cloudy. Groaning Kate sat up yawning, while hitting the alarm clock. This caused the blankets to rise and let cool air enter through the bottom of the bed, making John shiver and groan, "Cold..." Mumbling a 'sorry' under her breath she pulled the blanket back over there entangled feet sighing as the warm air circulated under neath the covers. Pulling her against his body, John sighed hugging her small frame while looking at the alarm clock that read eight o'clock in the morning.

"John...I need to get up." She sighed feeling him press his face against her forehead while tugging on her shirt whispering, "No...Stay a while."

"I have an interview."

"Where?"

"At the community college. There trying to find a class I can take.....So I can get a job and be happy."

"I'm sure they'll understand if your a few minutes late." He yawned holding her tighter while pouting, "Can't you schedule another time?"

"No...I've had this scheduled for months. Can I leave you here? I promise I'll come back in an hour." Nodding his head he loosened his grip around her waist as she slowly slid out of the bed. Turning around she wrapped the blankets neatly around him so he stayed warm. Smiling with his eyes closed he mumbled, "This is why I love you." Blushing as he waved his hand around feeling for her face with his eyes closed he pulled her head down slowly kissing her on the lips. Breaking away she walked over to her closet and tossed her shirt off trying to find a bra. Sliding on the jeans and sweater she had found scattered on the floor, she brushed her hair back into a ponytail and sprinted out to her car trying not to get rained on.

Reaching the college she jogged inside and fumbled with her hands in the waiting room before being called. Making her way inside the small office she sat down across a woman with greasy blonde hair who was typing on the computer. "Hello, Ms.Viverette? Looking through your classes you've taken I'm assuming your no longer interested in the medical field?"

"Yes ma'm."

"What are you interested in?"

"Uh...I don't know. I like music and art? I just don't want anything mathematical. I hate math."

"Alright. I can schedule you for some night classes...since you've been used to that schedule."

"Okay...What classes?"

"If your interested in the music and arts I can set you up with a class on the history of music, and a class on the history of art if your interested..."

"I'm sorry...I don't feel comfortable doing that."

"I'm sorry. Um...Ever consider or want to be a teacher?"

"No."

"Dentist?"

"No."

"Construction worker?"

"No..."

"Um...I can schedule your for another interview, two months from now with another worker of mine? Maybe they can help you out?"

"Alright. That's fine."

"Okie dokie! See you in two months!" Nodding her head she speed walked out of the college annoyed thinking, that was great help! Now I'm still unemployed. What the hell am I gonna do?

Running through the rain to her apartment she sighed slamming the door shut. The apartment was dark. Kicking her muddy shoes off by the door she stripped of her clothes and changed back into her pajamas. Looking over at John who was sound asleep she slowly crawled back into the bed awakening him.

His eyes shot open and she whispered, "I'm sorry! I didn't mean to wake you..."

"Don't worry about it...Are you taking any classes?"

"No they gave me another interview to go to two months from now. Apparently I'm a jobless person. Nothing seems interesting any more."

"Aw. I'm sorry, Kate. Hey! Maybe your job is to not have a job?"

"I don't think it works like that."

"Yeah...I don't think it does either."

"It's just so frustrating! I can't find a job. I need to get my life together. My life sucks."

"I mean...I'm here? Does that make your life suck less?"

"No. Just kidding! Yes it does, John."

"You broke my heart for a second until you said, 'just kidding'. Anyway maybe your next job could be playing guitar with me."

"Anthony's not gonna let me in the band."

"Who said you had to join the Red Hot Chili Peppers? What if it was just you and me. Together?"

"I don't know. I gotta think about it."

"I get it. I missed you."

"I was only gone for an hour."

"So? I was so bored."

"You didn't look bored to me when you were sleeping."

"Hey! Don't get sassy with me!" He smirked, holding her waist while leaning into kiss her. The phone rang interrupting there make-out session. Answering it she heard, "Hello. California police department is this Kate Viverette?" Pulling away from John she sat up and asked worried, "Yeah. What's up?"

"Someone who's been arrested has requested to talk to you. They have two minutes. Here you go." Waiting patiently she heard the second phone line pick up. A voice groggily said, "Hey. What's going on."

"Who is this?"

"Bill."

"What the fuck do you want?"

"Here to put you on a guilt trip. You got me arrested. Ever since Dave came to your rescue, he reported me to the police. Fuck You." Hearing the last word of his sentence John frowned grabbing the phone and snapped, "Who the hell is this?"

"Hey Johnny boy."

"Go away, Bill. I don't wanna talk to you."

"I'm in jail now because of your girlfriend. Thanks."

"Your Welcome. Goodbye."

"You know, I have some heroin at my place if you want it..."

"Hell no. You ruined me and my girlfriends life. Fuck You." Slamming the phone back onto the hook he looked at her and asked,
"You Alright?"

"Yeah. A little startled, but other than that I'm fine."

"Don't be startled. I'm here to protect you." He smiled leaning in to kiss her lips.
