Chapter 9: "Opposites Attract"

The next day, Striker and Jamie continued walking on.

"So, doll, you got a boyfriend?" Striker asked.

"Why is that important to you?" she asked.

He just shrugged and answered, "If I'm gonna work with a sexy goody-goody who I was originally hired to kill, might as well get to know her."

"Well, if you must know, I don't," Jamie answered then wondered, "What about you? Something tells me you would have the ladies wrapped around your finger."

Striker chuckled and said, "As true as that would be, when I have a woman for myself, I can be loyal. But no one has been lucky enough to try it."

She nodded a bit at that.

"That lucky girl could be you," he mentioned.

(A/N Play video now please.)

"This is strictly business," she told him, quoting him as she stopped in her tracks.

He did the same and commented, "That doesn't change the fact you dig me. After all, opposites attract."

Then he started rapping, making her roll her eyes with a smile, but she decided to play along.

(A/N Imagine she and Striker do the dance moves in the video as much as the singing.)

[STRIKER (Rap):]
"It's Striker here on the rap so mic it
Here's a little story and you're sure to like it
Swift and sly and I'm playing it cool
With my home girl, J the Angel"

[JAMIE:]
"Baby, it seems we're never agreeing
You like your horns and I like my wings"
[STRIKER:]
"I take things serious and you take 'em light"
[JAMIE:]
"I'm a morning person"
[STRIKER:]
"And I slay all night"

[BOTH:]
"Our friends are sayin'"
[STRIKER:]
"We ain't gonna last"
[JAMIE:]
"'Cause I move slowly"
[STRIKER:]
"And baby, I'm fast"
[JAMIE:]
"I like it quiet"
[STRIKER:]
"And I love to shout"
[BOTH:]
"But when we get together, it just all works out"

[JAMIE:]
"I take two steps forward"
[STRIKER:]
"I take two steps back"
[BOTH:]
"We come together 'cause opposites attract"
[JAMIE:]
"And you know it ain't fiction"
[STRIKER:]
"Just a natural fact"
[BOTH:]
"We come together 'cause opposites attract"

[BOTH:]
"Who'd-a thought"
[STRIKER:]
"She's an icebreaker?
She makes the rules"
[JAMIE:]
"And he's the rule breaker"
[STRIKER:]
"She likes it neat"
[JAMIE:]
"And he makes a mess
I take it easy"
[STRIKER:]
"Baby, I get obsessed"

[STRIKER:]
"She's got the money"
[JAMIE:]
"And he's always broke
I don't like cigarettes"
[STRIKER:]
"And I like to smoke"
[BOTH:]
"Things in common?"
[STRIKER:]
"There just ain't a one!"
[BOTH:]
"But when we get together, we have nothin' but fun"

[JAMIE:]
"I take two steps forward"
[STRIKER:]
"I take two steps back"
[BOTH:]
"We come together 'cause opposites attract"
[JAMIE:]
"And you know it ain't fiction"
[STRIKER:]
"Just a natural fact"
[BOTH:]
"We come together 'cause opposites attract"

[STRIKER (Rap):]
"Nothing in common but this trust
I'm like a minus, she's like a plus
One going up, one coming down
But we seem to land on common ground
When things go wrong we make corrections
To keep things moving in the right direction
Try to fight it but I'm telling you Jack
It's useless, Opposites Attract"

[JAMIE:]
"Baby, ain't it somethin' how we lasted this long?"
[STRIKER:]
"You and me provin' everyone wrong"
[JAMIE:]
"Don't think we'll ever get our differences patched"
[STRIKER:]
"Don't really matter 'cause we're perfectly matched"

([JAMIE:]
"I take two steps forward"
[STRIKER:]
"I take two steps back"
[BOTH:]
"We come together 'cause opposites attract"
[JAMIE:]
"And you know it ain't fiction"
[STRIKER:]
"Just a natural fact"
[BOTH:]
"We come together 'cause opposites attract" (REPEAT 5 TIMES))

By this time, they were facing each other, just mere inches from each other. Jamie almost got lost in Striker's eyes until she cleared her throat and stepped back.

"Well, you may be right, but it doesn't mean it'll apply to us," she pointed out before walking forward.

"But you did say I was right about that, meaning I get to sing my winning song," he smirked as he pulled out and strummed his guitar.

"Say what now?" Jamie questioned.

As Striker played and sang, he danced around her, making her cross her arms with a slight smile. But she did think of how opposites do attract, so there might be something there.

A/N Well that seemed convincing. 😏😁 I actually found this song because of this show in a way.
