Slash and I are on our way to wherever the fuck he is taking me. He puts on the radio and an Iron Maiden song is playing.
I smile. I love Iron Maiden. Yah I know, I don't really seem like the type but it's true. I love heavy metal. I also like a lot of other stuff though.
"You know this song?" Slash asks sounding amused.
I look at him. "Who doesn't?"
"You just seem like the kind of girl that would listen to pop music or something like that." Slash says shrugging.
"There's a lot of things you don't know about me Saul Hudson." I say smirking.
"Hey, you know my full name so I get to know yours." He says.
"Fine, it's Vivian Baxter." I reply frowning at my horrible last name. It reminds me of my family and I hate it.
"So where you from Viv?" Slash asks after awhile of us joking around.
"Wisconsin?" I answer.
"Really?" He asks.
"Yup. I moved here when I was seventeen." I answer.
"Why'd ya do that? The farm life wasn't working for you?" Slash asks laughing at his own little joke.
"Not all people in Wisconsin live on a farm and no I moved here because some bad stuff happened and I wanted to get away."
"I'd ask you what happened but I know you won't tell me." He laughs.
"You're pretty smart. I guess there is a brain in there somewhere." I joke.
Slash just smiles and shakes his head.
After a few minutes Slash stops and shuts off the car. He tells me to close my eyes and that he'll come help me out of the car.
I reluctantly do as told and shut my eyes.
Slash helps me out of the car and tells me that if I open my eyes he'll tickle me to death. I pretend to be scared and tell him I'll keep my eyes closed.
"Open your eyes." Slash says happily.
I do and see a gorgeous beach. Then I look to my right and see a little picnic set out on a blanket. This is so fucking cute.
Slash, the badass guitar player brought me to a beach and made us a picnic. Wow.
I turn and look at him. He looks really nervous. He probably thought I wouldn't like it.
"This is awesome." I say smiling.
"I'm glad you like it. Steven told me to do it but like a lot of his ideas I thought this would fail. I guess not."
"Let's go look at the water." I say grabbing his hand and pulling him down the beach towards the ocean.
We slip our shoes off and walk down the beach with our feet in the water. We're still holding hands which surprises me.
What am I doing? I haven't been this nice to a guy in ages. There's just something about Slash that makes me want to be nice to him. I also feel really safe when he's around. This is such a different felling, it's so new to me.
"Wanna play a game?" Slash asks after awhile.
"Sure." I answer.
Slash grins. "Tag, you're it!" He yells and then runs in the other direction. How childish but it's cute.
"Hey!" I shriek and run after him.
I catch up to him and tag his shoulder. Then I run away laughing.
This continues until we both can't laugh anymore.
I lay down and try to catch my breath and Slash lays down next to me.
"You run fast." He says between breathes.
"I did track in high school." I reply.
"With them sexy long legs I bet you had all the guys looking at you." Slash says looking me up and down.
"Shut up. It wasn't like that. None of the guys liked me anyway." I giggle.
"Why?" He asks resting his arms behind his head.
I sigh. "I was kind of a nerd."
"You? A nerd?" He asks shocked.
I laugh. "Yah. I was a nerd."
"Anyway, you wanna go swim?" He asks.
"I didn't bring a swimsuit." I answer looking up at the clouds.
"Do you have a bra on?" Slash asks.
"Yah why?" I answer.
"Do you got underwear on?" He asks again.
I get it now. He wants me to swim in my bra and undies. I guess it doesn't really matter. It's practically the same thing.
For some reason I don't have any bad thoughts about this. I know I'll be really exposed and I know I just met Slash like yesterday but I don't care. If he wants to swim, I'll go swimming with him. It sounds fun anyway.
"Ok. Fine. Let's go swimming." I say standing up.
Slash sticks his arms up and pouts like a baby. "Help me up Viv."
I role my eyes. How cute. I pull him up and then we get undressed. He's just in a pair of black boxers and I'm just in a black bra and a black pair of underwear.
He looks me up and down and smiles. "Sexy, very sexy."
I smile and take my hair out of the bun letting my blonde curls flow down my back.
Then we run down to the water and get in. The water is cold at first but after awhile it warms up.
We just randomly swim around and get to know each other by asking random questions. It's fun, it's the most fun I've had in awhile.
"Come here a second." I tell Slash.
He swims closer to me. Without saying anything I jump on his back and push him down into the water.
I then swim away before he can get revenge but I didn't get to far before he grabbed my foot and pulled me to his chest. 
I look up and meet a pair of chocolate brown eyes, a cute nose and a pair of sexy lips.
"That was a cruel thing you did there." Slash says smiling down at me.
I'm not that short but I am shorter than him.
"You were splashing the shit out of me so you deserved it." I say sticking my tongue out at him.
Then before I can do anything Slash presses his lips against mine. I melt into the kiss and wrap my arms around his neck while he pulls me closer.
He then slides his hand down and squeezes my butt making me moan a bit. I can't believe I'm doing this. I'm kissing Slash!
"Ooo, Look at this guys." A voice shouts.
Slash and I stop kissing and look up at the sand. There is the rest of Guns N' Roses smirking and laughing.
Great, thanks to them my perfect kiss got cut short.
Slash grabs my hand and pulls me out of the water.
"Why are you guys here?" Slash asks sounding a bit annoyed.
"Steven told us you were on a little date and we decided to crash it." Duff answers.
"Really Steven?" Slash asks looking at the blonde drummer.
"They made me tell them where you were. They threatened to take my hairspray away." Steven says defending himself.
"Anyway, who's the chick?" Axl asks staring at me.
I suddenly wish I had clothes on. Why do I feel comfortable with Slash looking at me like this but not them. Oh yah, maybe it's because I might like him.
"This is Vivian. Vivian these are the guys. I'm pretty sure you know their names." Slash says.
"Asshole one, two, three and four?" I ask raising an eyebrow.
Everyone busts out laughing.
"I think it's more like sexy guy one, two, three and four." Axl says flipping his red hair.
"If that's what you want to think than go ahead but we all know the only sexy one here is me." Izzy says slipping on his sunglasses.
"So did you guys bring food?" Steven asks.
"Yah, it's right-" Slash says pointing at the picnic.
But before he can finish his sentence the four guys run over to the food and start fighting over who gets what.
I look up at Slash and he looks at me. "I think our food is gone." He says.

-a few hours later-

The guys and I are still at the beach and honestly I'm having so much fun getting to know them. Duff and Axl went out to get beers and then came back a few minutes ago. I can tell where this is going.
"Hey Vivvy, you want a beer?" Steven asks using the nickname I've been given.
"Sure." I answer and soon enough Stevie throws a beer my way.
I catch it, open it and take a drink.
We're all just sitting in a circle in the sand talking and joking around. I'm sitting next to Slash and Duff.
"So Vivvy what's your favorite band?" Duff asks while the others are talking about some party they went to.
I look up at him. "Black Sabbath or Led Zeppelin."
His eyes widen. "What about us?"
Laughing I say. "Axl isn't Ozzy Osbourne or Robert Plant is he now?"
Duff turns to Axl. "Dude she just said Ozzy and Robert Plant are better looking than you."
Axl glares at me before taking another drink of his beer.
"What does fucking Ozzy Osbourne have that I don't?" He asks faking anger.
I shrug. "I never said he was better looking. That's just what Duff said. I just think Black Sabbath is fucking amazing."
Steven nods. "They do have a pretty good drummer. Same with Zeppelin."
Slash sighs. "I will admit Tony Iommi got some guitar skills."
I smirk. "See Sabbath is good."
Another half hour or so passes and we're all drunk except for Izzy who went to sit by the water. Maybe he feels left out or something. I guess I can go talk to him.
I stand up and pull down Slash's shirt so it covers my ass. I put it on so I'd be covered up a bit.
I walk towards Iz and sit next to him. He glances at me and then back at the sunset.
"Why are you over here all alone?" I ask trying not to slur too much.
"I was just getting kinda bored." He answers.
I stand up satisfied with his answer and then turn to walk back to the others.
"Wait, Vivian can we talk? I need somebody to talk to. I know we just met but I feel like I can trust you." Izzy asks stopping me.
I sit back down and silently wait for him to talk.
"I broke up with my girlfriend a couple days ago and I thought I'd feel happier about it because we weren't really getting along but instead I feel like shit." Izzy explains.
Even though I'm a bit drunk I can still think straight so I tell him my honest opinion.
"All good couples fight Izzy. You shouldn't give up on her too fast. Maybe you should try again ya know." I say
He nods. "Maybe you're right."
Then there's silence for awhile between Izzy and I. It wasn't really awkward tho. We just watched the waves sweep up onto the beach and then the sun slowly setting.
"Yo Izzy why you trying to steal my girl?" Slash asks obviously drunk.
Before Izzy can say anything I do.
"I'm not your girl Slash. Not until you ask me to be."
He just looks at me while trying to stand up straight.
"We kissed though." He says slipping an arm around my waist.
Sighing I lead him back to where the other guys are. They all look ready to go home. Honesty so am I.
"You can just stay at our place until tomorrow since Slash isn't really capable of driving you home right now." Izzy says as we get into Slash's car.
Slash just got in with the rest of the guys in Axls car so Izzy is and I had no other choice but to drive home in this car.
"That was fun." I say yawning a bit.
Izzy chuckles. "It could've been worse."
Then I drift off the sleep. I didn't feel this tired until now. This was honestly a really good day. I had a lot of fun.
