Make Me Smile || Kurt Cobain

Chapter 17 - A Closer Eye

Kurt

Well this was awkward.

Axl had rented out some restaurant for us to be alone in cause he didn't want the fans to disturb us much.

I agreed with him. Nirvana having dinner with the Guns would've been a great headline for tabloids and something I didn't wanna get involved in right now.

"I thought you guys were just joking when you said we were having dinner with Nirvana. Like why?" Slash, who finally broke the silence asked.

"Why not?" Axl said as Izzy shrugged. The awkward silence persisted for a while until Steven decided to speak up.

"Okay well, I'm Steven!" Steven, who was sitting next to Ashlyn introduced himself to her enthusiastically as he shook her hand. The shocked girl shook his hand back and gave him an award winning smile though it seemed as if she wasn't expecting it.

"Easy on her Steven, calm down" Duff said smirking. "Duff" He said, winking at her.

"Ashlyn. Nice to meet you" She greeted him as he was sitting on the opposite side of our round table.

"Slash. Good to meet you too. Now can someone tell me what's going on, really?" Slash asked still in confusion.

"Chill out everyone, at least let's get some food first. Don't be in a hurry" Axl said.

"I'm not in a hurry for anything. I'd just like an explanation" Slash said which made Axl roll his eyes. Krist and Dave seemed to be discussing something else and Axl, Duff and Slash were off talking about God knows what while Steven was stirring up a conversation with Ashlyn.

I actually liked Steven, I didn't feel weird about him talking to Ashlyn because he didn't seem like a creep and overall, I had an alright feeling about him.

Unlike...

"Real mature Jeff" Ashlyn said to Izzy who was laughing.

"What the hell did I do?" He asked feigning innocence. Ashlyn rolled her eyes, gave him the bird and continued her conversation with Steven.

Izzy looked somewhat disturbed by Ashlyn talking to Steven. I noticed him shift and Ashlyn jumped once again.

"Cut it out Jeff." She warned.

He was trying to get her attention by kicking her leg, well that was sad.

I turned over to Ashlyn who was sitting down next to me and still talking to Steven.

Seeing as there was nothing else to do, I put my head down on the table and tried to drown out everything going on around me.

"Kurt, you alright?"

That didn't last long. I sighed.

"Yeah, just bored I guess" I said.

"Then I'll talk to you" She said turning away from Steven and to me.

"Nah, you don't need to. I'm fine" I said.

"Oh hush." She said. "You know you're my favorite. And it was your idea to come over in the first place"

"Yeah but your stupid brother..."

"Hey"

"Sorry. AXL..." I corrected, making sure to put the stress on 'Axl' which made her roll her eyes. "...doesn't wanna start talking until the waiters bring the food."

"What is taking them so long anyways?" She asked.

From the corner of my eye I caught Izzy looking at us with contempt. Well, at me.
