Beyond The Leather

Chapter 140: You've Got Mail

Flashback...

"I have a place that I want you to take me. If you can't take me there then I'm going home, Nikki!" I stated.

"I'll try my best to"

"No...no trying." I interrupted him. "You either take me there or I go home!"

He breathed out like he was nervous. "Okay... where do you want to go?" Nikki asked.

I leaned forward and whispered in his ear. "To the moon." Then I leaned back.

He turned around to look at me with an expression I couldn't read. His face was blank, and I knew he knew that this was a challenge.

"I'll take you there." He turned around without smiling, laughing, smirking, or even grinning. This was a big deal to him, and I knew that he wanted to fulfill what I asked. How he would fulfill it, I don't know, but this was going to be a lot of fun. He started his engine and took off. He sped fast passing cars and even running through red lights.

We turned into a neighborhood that I had never seen before. We stopped in front of a small complex/apartment. I looked up and read the sign it said Sunset Strip at 1124 N. Clark St. West. Where the hell are, we? He grabbed my hand and pulled me into the complex.

"Hey Nik, where are we?" I asked.

"I'll explain later just come." He pulled me along. He stopped in front of a door and knocked on it. The person opened and her eyes went wide.

"Nikki Sixx, how are you?" She squealed. She was an older lady probably in her 50s and she seemed to know him well.

"I'm fine, I was wondering if I could use the old Motley balcony again. I have a task that I need to fulfill." He said with a serious voice.

"Of course, you can. Hi honey, how are you? I'm Bonnie nice to meet you." She stuck her hand out for me to shake.

"It's nice to meet you too I'm Iman Darlington." I shook back.

"Nikki your girlfriend is beautiful." She cooed.

"Yup, she is." Nikki grinned at me.

He then pulled my hand and brought me to the balcony. We ducked underneath the window to get outside. When I looked up, I saw the moon shining bright in front of me. It looked like I could touch it with the palm of my hand.

"So!" He leaned against the railing looking at me with a smirk. "How'd I do?"

I looked at him and smiled. "You're something else, Mr. Sixx." I turned back around to look at the moon.

Nikki moved behind me wrapped his arms around my waist and rested his chin on my shoulder.

"Fly to the moon, we'll take my Rocketship,
It's outta sight, Oh so outta sight. Leave your head, Check into this time, Check your mind,
Let your sparkle shine. Pass the sun,
Say goodbye to everyone-"

"What are you singing?" I giggled.

"Well, I took you to the moon so now I have to sing to you." He whispered in my ear. "From the moon to the stars, To the sun, Baby I'm in..."

He suddenly stopped singing. I felt his fingers go underneath my chin and turn my face so I to look at him. I looked up at his hazel eyes which had darkened. He moved in close to my face with his lips parting. His lips grazed mine and he moved his fingers from underneath my chin to the back of my neck and pulled my head towards him. Was this happening? Was this my first kiss? He closed the gap between us and kissed my lips. It was beautiful, sweet, and soft. My heart was pounding. I thought it would burst out of my chest. It felt right like we were supposed to be here at this very moment. We parted from each other and looked into each other's eyes. He brushed my cheek with his thumb and did that annoying smirk that would get him into trouble one day. I smiled then turned back around to look at the moon. Nikki held tightly onto my waist then kissed my cheek and rested his chin back on my shoulder.
