You Make It Easy || Nikki Sixx

Chapter 7

     "No, you need to get to Ogden!" I yelled

     "Your dad drives too fast I lost him!" he responded.

     "I have a feeling that was kind of the point.."

     Nikki and I are headed up to the lake house in Wisconsin. Luckily Nikki's bags were already packed and all we had to do was take them out of one trunk and into the next. He insisted that he drives the new car just so he can break it in even though I warned him that some of the roads aren't very suitable for such a nice car. "OH MY FUCK WHERE THE HELL AM I GOING!" Nikki exclaimed.

     "You need to get on 294 North- we're heading north!" I responded with a laugh.

     "Holy fucking fuck! Why is this so difficult?" he complained.

     "It's not, you just don't know how to follow directions!"

     "So what, do I take this the whole way?"

     I sigh "No, just go straight until I tell you to do something!"

    "Whatever" he rolled his eyes.

     The drive is about two and a half hours but it seems like nothing to me since I've been doing it my whole life. Since it was his first time going up, I made him stop at a place that me and my sister call "the cheese place" even though it's just a gas station with a big sculpture of a mouse holding cheese on the roof. He picked up a drink for the roads and continued down the highway of cornfields. During the drive, we listen to a lot of loud music and had our own little two-person concert. I also pointed out a bunch of things that I see on every drive, most of which are cows. "Ok, you're off in two miles then I'll have to tell you where you're going."

     "Got it."

     I directed Nikki through the other small towns we had to pass to get to mine. "And coming up on my side, you're about to see the lake." I said looking out the window.

     "Woah-ho-ho! Would you look at that.."

     "EYES ON THE ROAD DUDE!" I yelled as he slightly swerved. "This road is all turns so be careful"

     "Whoopsie" he smiled.

     He more cautiously made the way down the road, still taking in the scenery around him. "Slow down, you're going to be getting on the ferry up here."

     "The what?"

     "The ferry. It takes like five minutes to get to the other side, calm yourself down. Plus this is one of the reasons I told you taking this car wouldn't be the best idea. If you thought the bumps on the roads were bad, you need to be so damn careful getting on this thing. There's a dip."

    We waited for the ferry to unload the arriving group of cars then very slowly got on ourselves. I told Nikki that he could turn off the car as we waited. 'Come on Sixx." I got out of the vehicle.

     "Where are you going?" he followed.

     "Just look!" I said leaning against the rail and gazing at the train bridge that crossed the water and the blue ripples that the ferry made.

     "This is a pretty nice view." he said putting his arm around my shoulder "And I'm not talking about the lake" he looked down at me.

     I looked up at him biting the inside of my cheek. "You're such a smart ass" I shook my head making him giggle. "Come this way" I dragged him to the other side of the ferry so we could see the west side of the lake. "If you look over there, in that bay, you can see my boat house. It's the one with the two open doors. Looks like my dad's putting in the pier. " I pointed out. Nikki squinted his eyes in that direction, trying to get a good look. "Alright we need to get back in the car, we're almost there."

     We got off the ferry and made the short drive to the house. We parked in the grass since this ancient house didn't have a garage. The place is quite small and Nikki's head almost touched the ceiling. We lugged our bags into the house and set them down in my room. Before I was able to entirely turn around, Nikki already had his lips on me and we fell to the bed. "Mm- Nikki!" I giggled as he trailed his kiss down to my neck.

     "What? No one's here!" he continued.

     "Yeah, but my dad will probably be up any second! He most likely heard the car" I laughed.

     "Well, you've heard my music.."

     "Yeah, so?"

     "Then you'd know, I only need ten seconds." he smirked.

     "Oh my god! No, we are not-" I was cut off by the sound of footsteps coming up the back porch stairs. "Shit, get off me!" I whisper. I quickly step out of my room which is practically the living room and went straight for the kitchen. My dad opened the back door and I turned my attention his way. "Hey, Dad!" I cheered.

     "Hey sweetie, just got in?" he asked

     "Yep. Nikki was just putting our bags down." I said then Nikki emerged from my bedroom raising suspension from my dad.

     "What's he doing in there?"

     "He was just putting our bags down..."

     "He could have been putting your bags down, but he'll be putting his in Sabrina's room."

    "Wha-"

    "You know why and no exceptions!" he said before going out the front door to continue working.

     "Well, there goes that plan." I roll my eyes.

     "Where's the master bedroom?" he asked.

     "It's at the end of the hall." I sigh

     "Good then he won't hear me sneak into your room tonight." he smirked.

     "He sleeps on the couch so good luck with that." I smile. He comes up to me and rests his hands on my hips and smiles. He looks like he was about today something but never did, but he did kiss me. "Save it for later, Casanova" I teased.

     He rolled his eyes playfully and followed me to my bedroom, where we began to unpack our bags. As we settled in, I could see Nikki's curiosity about the lake house and the surroundings. "So, this is where you spend your summers?" he asked.

     "Yep. This is my paradise. Also, don't be alarmed if you hear a mouse in the ceiling. But you don't need to worry about that till winter rolls around." I sat on the couch next to him.

     Nikki nodded and glanced out the window. "I do have to say this is a pretty nice view you have. I can see why you love it."

     I smiled, appreciating his interest. "There's a lot to do around here," I said. "We can go hiking, swimming, and I can even take you out on the boat if you're up for it. Although you might not want to hop on the waverunner with me."

    "And why's that?" he giggled.

    "Because I will whip you harder than a dominatrix. And water whiplash hurts like a motherfucker." I replied making him mischievously smile. "On that note, wanna go tubing?"

     He scoffed "Yeah, no"
