Faded Memories (Guns N Roses - Izzy / Axl / OC)

Awakening

November 24. 2012
Las Vegas – Izzy

I woke up in the morning regretting that I hadn't accepted the offer to get one of the bigger suites. What should I even used that for, right?
But now I was sleeping on the couch and my back hurt like hell. Fuck. I really was getting old. There had been times I'd just passed out on the floor, on a table or in the fucking tub. Today even the expensive designer couch wasn't comfortable enough.

Ana and I had been talking all night. So actual sleeping hours were short because sound check was due in some hours. Sleep was so overrated. I had been doing without sleep for days in the past. Sure, there was always coke involved but today there was coffee. I needed lots of coffee.
My thoughts went back to that woman in my bed. That comfortable bed I was missing.
To be honest, it wasn't just the bed I was longing for.
Ana really did a number on me. I was fucking pissed. But still, she was all I could think of since the minute she walked into my life again. There was no way I was going to let her just run away again. I just had to figure out what to do.

Getting off this extremely uncomfortable designer couch, I jumped into my pants and stretched. My neck creaked.
Today was going to be hard. First of all I needed coffee. So I used the in suite espresso machine to prepare one. To avoid wakening up Ana, I got my coffee and went outside to the private patio. I sat down and lit a cigarette. Shit. I got rid of that habit years ago and now I was full on smoking again. I should've been stronger than that.
But this whole situation gave me the creeps. I had a daughter. A very grown up, extremely beautiful daughter. The way I looked at her at that stairway yesterday crossed my mind and I frowned. I had no clue how I was supposed to feel about her. I didn't know her at all.
Ana told me lots of things about her. Melissa loved music. Especially playing guitar. Good. That skill possibly came from me and made me feel a little bit proud.
But she was totally starstruck by Slash. He was like rolemodel for her. Ana told me Melissa even got herself a tattoo with his name. I actually felt a little jealous. That fucker already got enough attention. I didn't want my girl going all crazy about him.

Melissa had been a wild and skittish girl. Ana told stories about her that made me think of my own youth. I guess that was something she got from me, too. I really liked the idea of her taking after me. Still, I wondered how much I had missed and if I could make it up to her. If I was even capable of being a dad. To a fucking grown up. Couldn't be that hard, could it? She wasn't a kid anymore. She didn't need to be taken care of or get an education. That part I'd skipped. I didn't even need to take care of possible boyfriends or her prom date. She was already grown up and went to college. She probably had a lot of guys drooling for her. That thought made me worry a bit. A strange feeling crossed my mind. I was jealous.
That made me smile. I didn't want to share her. I just learned she existed.

I looked up when I noticed a movement at the door.
'What are you sitting here, smiling all by yourself?' God, she looked adorable.
My t-shirt, she was wearing, reached to the middle of her thighs. Her hair was all fuzzy and her feet were bare. My dick twitched and I fought the urge taking her back to bed with me.
'Morning. I was just thinking about Melissa.'
'I guess it's a lot to take in.' She looked down at her adorable toes.
'Yeah. But I'm happy to get to know her. Maybe we could meet up again after sound check?'
'Uhm...I...we need to get back today.' She said sadly.
I shook my head. 'No way I let you leave like that. Just stay the whole weekend. I'll get you a room and passes for the shows. I really want to spent time with you and Mel.'
'Izzy, I don't know. What happens after that? You won't get back twenty-three years in just one weekend.'
I shrugged. 'I guess we figure it out then. We'll have the whole weekend for that.'
'Okay. I know Melissa will be thrilled to get backstage with you.' She looked at her watch. 'God, I have to give her a call. I sent her a message last night but she might be worried by now.'

In the meantime...

Melissa

I woke up as something tickled my neck. Soft lips were tracing their way to my shoulder while strong hands were caressing my breasts and my stomach. I smiled as the events of last night came to my mind. Oh my fucking god. Was Axl Rose really spooning me? My heart jumped.
The night had been incredible. It's really true what they say about rock stars. They'd seen it all and done them all. And I was the one taking benefit out of that experience. Holy fuck.

When his thumb flickered my nipple, I let out a moan. I could feel his hard cock pressed against my bare ass. Good lord. There we go for round... Uhm... I really lost track at some point. That man was a machine. I wondered what he was like when he was my age.
He probably fucked everything with a heartbeat and left for the next town. I tried to remember what I'd read about him in Slash's book. Axl would be thrilled if he knew I was thinking of Slash that moment. I couldn't help but chuckle.

'Good morning, sweetheart. What's so funny?' He mumbled into my skin.
I turned around and he pulled me to his chest, our eyes locked.
'Nothing. I was just wondering what you were like at my age?'
He frowned, locked at me for a minute and then smiled. 'Better looking, I guess.'
I slapped him playfully on his chest. 'Come on. I know the looks. I mean: what were you like?'
'What exactly do you wanna know, babe?' Did he just call me "babe"? God. My pussy contracted.
'I just wondered if you already were that kind of sexmachine back then. Or if you'd just improved over the years.'
Axl grinned at me. 'I think this credit is all yours. Just thinking of you makes me hard again.'
He took my hand and put it on his rock hard dick. Jesus fucking Christ. I would never make it out of this penthouse.
'Fuck!' I snarled while I sat up, looking for my phone.
Axl chuckled. 'I was about to do so but I guess you have other plans then?'
He crossed his hands behind his head and grinned at me. I swear, I was tempted.
But I just remembered that I totally ditched my mom and she might have been worried the whole night. I found my phone in my jeans on the floor and looked up the new text messages.

'Spending n8 at Izzy's. Told him. Seems to be ok. Wanna meet 2morrow and talk. Love U. Mom '

'Holy fuck! She really did it. I can't fucking believe this.' I stared at my phone and sat down on the bed. Still butt naked.
Axl's green eyes went over my body and he chuckled.
'You either get dressed or come back here. What's wrong, babe?'
I looked at him and smiled. 'My mom spent the night at Izzy's.'
Axl laughed. 'Yeah, figured. She might be your mom, but chicks just love Izzy. You know? All brooding and mystery guy and shit.'
I shook my head and looked at him seriously. 'You don't understand. She finally told him.'
Axl raised an eyebrow. 'Told him what?'
'She finally told him that he's my dad.'
