Dishing The Dirt: Tommy Lee • Mötley Crüe •

Chapter 7

I was applying my lipstick in the mirror when there was a knock at the door. I looked at the clock and I knew it was Tommy.

I took one last look at myself as I put the lid back on my lipstick and grabbed my bag.

I made my way over to the door and as I opened it, Tommy was standing there with a bunch of flowers. Sunflowers and a mixture of yellow and red roses to be exact.

"Tommy!" I squealed as I took the flowers off of him.

"I know it's quick but...I love you Vanessa" he said.

"I love you too, Tommy" I said as I reached up and pulled him into a kiss.

I shot up, I was panting and dripping in sweat. My alarm clock was beeping like crazy. I hit the top of it to make it stop and ran my fingers through my hair.

I have got to stop eating cheese before bed.

"Hahaha! So what, you guys said I love you! It's just a dream! I have them all the time, like with the dude that plays Rocky...or John Travolta" Sharise giggled as she flipped onto the sofa next to me with a cup of coffee.

"Sharise! It's not funny! What if I open the door to him for our date on Sunday and he's standing there with flowers and goes 'hey Vanessa I love you'...what do I do then!?" I squealed.

"Say thank you for the flowers and tell him he has nice hair? I don't know" she said as she crossed her arms.

I rolled my eyes at her.

"I mean...unless you wanna say it back" she said smugly.

"Ew! No! I do not love Tommy!" I yelled.

"If you say so" she said as she winked at me.

"I don't!" I said as I raised my voice.

"Okay! Okay! Jesus. They do say though, those who protest to much..."

"Don't even!" I said as I pointed at her.

"Ugh! Come on! We gotta get ready for the party tonight! Daniels gonna be here soon and I can't wait for him to meet Vince" she said as she stood up and skipped back to her bedroom.

I was so excited to see Daniel. Sharise wrote to him after we moved and explained everything, he couldn't blame us, the whole reason he joined the Navy was so he could escape from their parents. I knew Tommy would love him too. I always looked at Daniel as my brother so it was kinda like Tommy was finally meeting a part of my family too.

Tommy's POV:
Dude! I didn't know who was falling for Vanessa more, me or my God damn family! Every day Athena called to see if Vanessa was there to talk about beauty products, then my mom would come on the line and ask if and when Vanessa was coming back over for dinner. My dad didn't help either! Every single time I spoke to him it was "you know, me and your mother got engaged after a day and she didn't even speak English". I mean, talk about no pressure!

I hung out with Vanessa a few times after she met my parents and we had this awesome bond, I fucking adored her man. We hung out with Vince and Sharise a lot, Vanessa had the 4 of us try on some avocado face mask she learnt at school - Vince enjoyed it way more than he should have and I tried so hard not to eat it but it smelt so good! It reminded me of guacamole, I just needed some chips to go with it but she didn't have any, so I had to make do with the cucumber slices on our eyes.
