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

Public Humiliation

Izzy

'Jesus Christ, Izzy. Make it a quick one and take it to your dressing room, will ya? You're up on stage in about 20.' I heard Axl chuckle as he went by towards the stage.
God, was I really standing in the hallway making out with Ana like we were fucking teenagers?
I pressed my forehead against Ana's, panting. 'I've done worse in public, believe me, but at this age? This is fucking embarrassing.'
'Making out with you makes me feel twenty years younger.' She chuckled. 'We should get back to that later.' She kissed me again.
I let out a groan. God, I hated Axl.
'I should get going and clear my head. Can't really get on stage with a boner.'
Ana giggled like a girl. 'Why not? Show every girl what she's missing.'
I blinked. 'Yeah, I can tell you: Even though I wrote that fucking song there is no way I'd be able to sing it, if my dick is in charge. Now, come on. I have to get ready, woman.'

There had never been a show in the past that felt so fucking long like this one. I swear to god, by the time I finished "14 years" I just wanted to get off stage to grab Ana, drag her to my room and screw her brains out. God, I was acting like a fucking caveman. I guess playing a whole show with a growing boner wasn't such a good idea, and the adrenaline just did the rest.
'I'm doing "Nightrain" and then I'm off.' I said to Axl between the songs. He raised an eyebrow.
'You fucking kidding me? You can't just take off, fucker.'
I gave him a grin and he knew what I was up to. He damn sure knew I would just take off.
I put down my guitar and took off my jacket to buy us a few seconds. Then I rolled up my sleeves.
'Look, man. You don't need me here anyway. I've done my song, I play nice... but if I need to play more than one other song with a boner like that, I'm gonna explode.' Axl blinked and looked at me for a second. Then he broke out laughing. 'Yeah man, I get you. Let's do that fucking song and then you go and get finally laid, old man.'
But there was one thing I hadn't reckoned with. Axl was always about sharing a good story.

So there I was, putting the strap of my guitar over my head, as Axl choose to speak up to the audience. Fuck.
'So, Ladies and gentlemen. Let me tell you something about Mr. Izzy Stradlin here.' I threw him a look and he laughed at me. 'Izzy just told me he'll do one more song with us tonight. But then he needs to get off because he has a date.' That fucker wasn't serious. I couldn't help but laugh.
The audience was already catcalling us, when Axl continued. 'But let me tell you something: Izzy has been waiting for this date twenty-four years. Isn't that some romantic shit? Fuck! Twenty-four years to finally get back to the woman of your dreams. Wow! I'll say we're gonna rock the fucking Nightrain and get on with this show so that Izzy can go and get laid.'
I was so going to kill him. As soon as I was finished with Ana. And thinking about her, that fucking song was way too long.

I jumped off the stage and shove my guitar in the hand of my guitar tech. Seriously, I've never been in such a hurry my whole life. When I finally found Ana beside the stage, enjoying the show with Melissa, I felt like a fucking teenager. I gave her a quick hug and raised my eyebrow quizzically.
'You okay here by yourself? I really need to talk to your mom in private.'
She burst out laughing and Ana blushed. 'God, Izzy. Everyone here heard what Axl just said. Just go and do... whatever. I just don't wanna think about it.' I gave her a quick kiss on her cheek. It really had its perks to have a full grown up daughter. 'Thanks, honey.'
I grabbed Ana and threw her over my shoulder, making her squeak.
We barely made it to my room. Already making out heavily in the elevator, we offended some old couple. Honestly they probably weren't much older than I was but in that situation I felt twenty years younger.

When we finally arrived at our floor, I couldn't really remember getting to the room. Ana pressed me against the door to the suite, while I fumbled in my pockets for the key card.
By the time we reached the bedroom, I was already undressed to my boxers while Ana was jumping on one leg to get rid of her jeans. God, this was fun. I couldn't really remember when I actually had so much fun before the fucking part.
She chuckled and jumped on the bed sitting there just in her underwear. I looked at her for a second. How did I even manage to make it through twenty-four years without her? She was beautiful.
She still had the body of a twenty-something girl.
Oh yeah, I wouldn't let her out of this bed before dawn. That was for sure. We had a lot to catch up.
