Make Me Smile || Kurt Cobain

Chapter 11 - Late Night Talks

Ashlyn

For some reason I just couldn't sleep. I had no idea why. I stayed up a bit talking to Kurt then we both headed to bed shortly afterwards.

I'd already checked on the guys and they were all fast asleep yet I couldn't even get a twinkle. Lucky bastards.

I decided to go make a midnight snack and maybe get a glass of warm milk which should have induced sleep, after all it had done so for me in the past.

But so far, no such luck.

I was about to pour a second glass of milk when I heard a loud noise. I nearly dropped my glass.

"David middle name unknown Grohl, what the hell are you doing?" I asked looking up to an amused looked Dave who was stifling a laugh.

"Good to see you to Ashlyn. I'm just here, you know, on MY band tour bus, walking around then I saw you concentrating on pouring your milk and I just couldn't help it" He said with a cheeky smile. I groaned.

"I hope it was worth it giving me a momentary heart attack" I said. Dave shrugged.

"You'll be fine darling. By the way my middle name is Eric" I rolled my eyes. "So what's up? Couldn't sleep?"

"Clearly"

"Are you still pissed off? C'mon" He said poking me in the arm. "You wouldn't be so pissed if this were Kurt"

My breath hitched a bit as what he said caught me off guard. Dave laughed as I quickly regained my composure.

"I... get bent Grohl" I said. He laughed.

"Yes Princess" I rolled my eyes once more. I guess I was starting to see the other side of Dave. The annoying side. But all in good fun. "Hey, you don't look to happy. Want me to get your man?" Dave teased.

"I have no idea who you're talking about" I said as I took a sip outta the glass of milk. Dave folded his arms across his chest. "Really"

"Really?"

"Really" I said. He shrugged. "Oh well, I guess it's for the best. He still loves Courtney after all and you know, she is the mother of his child. Best not to let that get in the way" Dave said with a smirk.

What? He's still in love with her?

Maybe that's why he kept the house and... no. Dave is just trying to get in my head. Newsflash, it's not gonna work.

Is it?

Whatever, even if he does I don't care. I mean I care but... ugh!

"Nothing to say Princess?" Dave asked.

"I... I'm happy for them." I said even doubting my own truthfulness. Dave gave me a look in the eye before shrugging.

"Yeah me too. Courtney and I don't get along but I'm sure everything will work out"

"We can only hope" I said quietly.

"Hey, what's the matter?" Dave asked with a hint of concern in his voice though he had a stupid grin on his face.

"Nothing. I'm fine"

"You like Kurt, don't you?" He asked. I rolled my eyes though I'm sure my cheeks were red hot.

"As if. He's too old for me" I said crossing my hands over my chest.

"Is that it?" He asked. I nodded. "So if he asked you out, you'd say no?" I nodded once more.

"Yeah and besides it's too early. He's my band mate and that's completely unprofessional."

"This all sounds rehearsed darling"
