NUMBER 1 IN DOUGLAS BOOTH !!!
Also this story literally has no time frame , it's just based in the 80s i'm not gonna go into detail with the different eras and all that.________________________________
10 minutes to show time and i'm literally so nervous. They have makeup artists and stylists and i've never been poked and prodded like this in my life. I do look good though.
" Girls time to start making your way to the stage " doc yells in the door. I take a deep breath and with one more look in the mirror I flash myself a smile. The corridor seems so long , I see Tommy and Vince and the end of the hall. They're in their " costumes " as Nikki likes to call them. We can hear the crowd they're shouting Crüe Crüe Crüe. I feel someone smack my ass i turn around and see the fur ball with black paint across his face.
" Okay let's huddle " Nikki says. We all huddle together i can feel the electricity off everyone's body.
" Okay what ever happens out there remember we're motley fucking crue, it's a state of mind " Nikki giving us a pep talk. I bounce my foot with nerves.
" let's go out there and give these fuckers one hell of show , crüe on 3... 1... 2.... 3 CRÜE " We walk up the stairs and Tommy makes his way out through the dimmed lights to start giving us a beat. The boys grab their guitars. The lights start to flash and Tommy starts to play.
" Go "
We run out on stage, the crowd going wild. I get goosebumps. I look at Emi who's soaking it all this feels indescribable. The intro to Girls Girls Girls starts and so the show begins.
—
" Good Night Arizona " Vince shouts as we run off stage. I'm full of adrenaline that was fucking insane. We all hug and high five each other. The boys already grabbing a bottle of Jack.
" you were incredible out there " i whisper to Nikki pouring himself a drink.
" As were you " he smirks and starts to pour me a drink.
" it's so nice to see you out there doing your thing , I have to admit your fans are crazy and i've never seen so many breasts in my life " i laugh taking a swig of the drink he poured me.
" better get used to it baby those guys are ruthless "
" hey great show guys couldn't have gone better " doc comes up to the group of us hanging out by the drinks.
" i've been thinking maybe we should get a supporting act you know to keep the crowd entertained before the show " doc suggests
" but we've never had a supporting act " Tommy looks confused
" i found this really great up and coming band i think you guys will like , they're called guns and roses , great guys and they'll get the crowd going for you "
The boys look around in confusion nobody says anything.
" Can we at least see them play first " Nikki asks. That's probably a good idea i mean if they join the tour we'll have to spend a lot more time with these guys.
" i thought you'd ask that " doc looks at his watch.
" they're playing in 30 minutes down at a bar here "
We walk through the dingy bar trying to find the band, they're probably not on yet. I excuse myself to the toilet , i rush so i don't miss the band coming on. I leave the toilets heading straight to the bar.
" jack and coke please " i ask the bar man as i tap my fingers against the bar.
" a lady who likes dark liquor, where have you been all my life " i look over to a man with dark curly hair. I just nod not trying to entertain this guy. I go to hand the barman my money when the guy throws at twenty at him.
" please let me get this for you " he smiles, why's he wearing sunglasses we're inside. He gets closer and puts his hand around my waist. I get uncomfortable.
" thanks for the drink but i think my friends are looking for me " i brush him off and practically sprint back to our table. I take a seat next to Tommy who's try to flick cigarette butts into Micks drink.
" doc where are these guys " Nikki moans
" 5 minutes Sixx would you relax you act like getting a support act is the worst thing in the world , remember when that was you guys " Nikki just huffs.
5 minutes arrived and we see the lead singer walk onto the stage. What are those shorts he's wearing. Then we see the rest of the band pile onto the stage and there he was the guy who bought me the drink. I sink into my chair. Of course he's their guitarist. They began to play and doc was right they are good. I even see Mick nodding along to the music.
After the guns and roses performance doc brought us back stage to meet the guys.
" guns and roses meet mötley crüe , mötley crüe meet guns and roses " doc introduces
They boys all exchange hi's and hello's and i learn their names. The one who calls himself Slash is the mystery guy. I see him smirking at me and i kind of just hide behind Nikki. Of course doc invites them to sit with us.
I'm practically hiding into Nikki like a shy child. I hope this guy didn't get the wrong impression when i let him pay for my drink.
" we actually caught the first half of your show tonight " the one named Axl said.
" yeah you guys killed it " steven adds
" and you girls were great we need to get something like that for our show " Izzy laughs.
Huh maybe that's where Slash knows me from. Well i'm sorry Slash but i'm kinda pre occupied with the tall scary looking one that's sitting across from you at the table right now.
" that's our girls " Nikki smiles and puts his arm around me pulling me in closer. I smile up and him and put my hand on his chest hoping that Slash gets the message. He's still looking at me intently. I try not to make eye contact as it makes me nervous.
" okay um Crüe can i have a word with you for a second " doc stands up gesturing for the boys to follow him.
" back in a sec " Nikki kisses my forehead and follows the lads. Leaving me and Emi alone with gnr.
" Sorry we didn't get your names earlier " Duff asks.
" oh i'm Emi and this is Sophia " she smiles at the boys and i just nod not saying a word.
" How'd you like being on the road so far i bet the boys are fun " Steven asks.
" Oh yeah they're loads of fun they're just hard to keep up with " I laugh
" i could teach you a thing or two " slash gives me a smile. Thankfully we're interrupted by the guys coming back.
" Welcome to the show fellas " doc shouts and the boys cheer. I mentally face palm myself. This won't end good.
———————————————————————————
I wonder will the gnr boys end up being a problem, somehow i don't see Nikki taking jealousy very well 😌
