The Guitarist And His Girl

Chapter 3

-the next morning (Monday)- 

Right when I open my eyes a pounding headache attacks me. Hell I wasn't even that drunk!
I then realize I'm in a bed with black sheets on it next to somebody. I look over my shoulder and see Slash. How'd I even get in here? All I remember is driving back with Izzy and falling asleep.
I guess he cared me in here or something. He could've just put me on the couch...
I should probably go home. Quietly I slip out of the bed and look around to see if Iz left my clothes in here too.
Thank god he did. I just slip my leggings on and keep Slash's shirt that smells like him. It's an amazing smell to be honest.
I put on my shoes and carry my sweater downstairs with me. Hopefully one of them can take me home.
I'm surprised to see Steven and Axl awake and watching some cartoon on tv.
"Hey." I say sitting next to Steven.
He looks at me and smiles his adorable smile. "Hey Viv."
"Don't fucking stand there the guy you're looking for is getting away! How stupid are these fucking cartoons?" Axl yells at the tv.
Stevie and I bust out laughing. Axl just glares at us.
"Don't laugh. All I was doing was trying to help them." He tells us crossing his arms.
I decide not to say anything and turn back to Steven.
"Can you drive me home in a little bit?" I ask him.
He pouts. "You don't wanna stay here forever and be my best friend?"
I laugh a bit. "I'd love that but my friend I live with is probably wondering where the fuck I am."
He nods. "Fine, I'll take you home on one condition."
I role my eyes. "What is it?"
He grins. "Can you make us pancakes for breakfast. We haven't had a decent breakfast is awhile?"
"What's wrong with my pancakes? I made pancakes like last week." Duff says walking down the stairs and sitting on the floor in front of Steven and I.
"Dude they were fucking burnt." Axl says laughing.
Duff flips him off. "At least I can make toast without blowing the damn toaster up."
"That was an accident." Axl snaps.
I sigh. "Fine I'll make breakfast but then I'm going home."
I stand up and walk to the kitchen which has barely any food in it. I eventually find a box of pancake mix and start cooking.
"That guy is a fucking dick! Obviously that girl wanna get with him but he's leaving to go save the kingdom!" Duff shouts.
They're watching some princess movie which really amuses me. I guess that's all that's on according to Axl.
"You really do look hot in my shirt." Slash whispers slipping his arms around my waist.
I jump a little. "You scared me."
"Sorry babe." He says kissing my neck.
I continue making the pancakes and try not moan too much. I can't believe this is real. I'm actually letting Slash in. I haven't really told him about my dark past but I feel like I could do it eventually. I feel like I could trust him.
"Don't distract her Slash. I'm counting on these pancakes to be perfect." Steven says grabbing a drink out of the fridge.
"Shut up popcorn." Slash says taking his lips away from my neck.
Steven just walks back to his spot on the couch and continues watching that dumb movie.
"Where's Izzy?" I ask Slash after the pancakes are done.
He shrugs. "Probably in his room."
I put the pancakes on a plate and then put them on the counter.
"I'll go get him." I say before walking upstairs.
I knock on the door I'm pretty sure is Izzy's room only because the rest of the doors are open.
He answers after a few seconds looking tired but not tired at the same time. He's dressed so that means he either just got up a few minutes ago or he's been up.
"Um there's pancakes downstairs if you want some." I say staring into his eyes.
He nods. "I'll be down in a second."
"Ok. You might want to hurry up though because they might eat them all." I say smiling.
Izzy grins a bit. "You should save me some then."
"Maybe." I say as I turn to walk back downstairs.
Izzy and I are kind of friends now I guess. I like him and he seems to like me. He's pretty nice he's just quiet.
I get downstairs and see all the guys sitting in the living room watching that fucking movie. Even Slash seems interested. They all have a plate of pancakes and a drink in front of them.
I look and see there's no more pancakes left for Izzy and I. Jerks, I made a bunch and they had to go and hog them.
"How come you didn't save me any pancakes?" I ask putting my hand on my hip.
Duff looks at me with an innocent smile. "We're hungry."
"You can have one of mine." Steven says throwing one at me.
I barely catch it and then laugh. "Thanks popcorn."
"Where's the pancakes?" Izzy asks standing next to me.
"There." I say pointing at Axl who has like five on his plate and then Duff who has four. The others only have two or three but who knows how many they already ate.
"You wanna go out and get something?" Izzy asks.
"Yah. Here's you're pancake back Steven." I say throwing it on his head.
Izzy grabs a pair of shoes and his keys and then we head to the door.
"Where you going?" Slash asks looking at us.
"Since you didn't save any pancakes for us we're going out to get our own." I tell him.
"Holy shit! That prince is badass!" Duff shouts catching Slash's attention.
Izzy looks at me for an answer. He doesn't know that they're watching a princess movie. I just shake my head.
We get into his car and it's silent for awhile. It's not that awkward. I just look out the window at all the houses and building we pass.
I'll just tell Izzy to drop me off after we're done eating. I kind of feel bad for not saying goodbye to the guys but they'll forget about me after a day or two.
Slash, I don't know about him. I don't know what we are or what he wants us to be. I just know he wanted to take me out on a date and it happened. I'm not sure if he wants to continue our 'relationship' or whatever. Maybe I should've asked him.
"You wanna go to Denny's?" Izzy asks.
"Sure." I answer.
Izzy and I get to Denny's and a waitress who seemed to like Izzy brought us to a table in the corner. We both ordered coffee but I ordered eggs, bacon and toast while Izzy just went for pancakes and sausage.
"So what's up with you and Slash?" Izzy asks after a few minutes of silence.
I sigh. "I'm honestly not sure."
"I think he like you though." Izzy says grinning.
"I don't think I'm ready for a relationship." I tell Izzy honestly.
"I know Slash seems like a bad guy sometimes but I think he needs a girl like you to love him he just doesn't show it."
I look at Izzy blankly. I agree with what he's saying but I just don't think Slash needs a girl like me. I'm so insecure at times and I don't even show the real me to people anymore. How am I suppose to love Slash with all my heart if I can barely love myself?
"I don't even know if Slash and I will talk anymore after today so let's not jump ahead to far." I say to Izzy.
He sits back in his chair. "Sometimes the future comes at ya quicker than you think and it's good to be prepared."
Izzy's weird sometimes but I like it. He's fun to be around. There's never that need to talk all the time like there is with other people.
A few minutes later our food comes and we dig in. Denny's is a really good place to eat in my opinion.
After we're done I ask Izzy to drop me off at my house. He doesn't ask me why he just asks me for my address which I give him.
"I hope I see you again Vivian." Izzy says as we pull up to my house.
I smile. "I think you will even if Slash and I don't become anything I'll still come visit and you guys can come here too if you want."
Izzy nods. "Ok. I guess I'll see you around."
"Yup." I reply before getting out of the car and watching him drive down the street.
I walk inside and Liz immediately questions me.
"I was at a little party thing with the guy I was with last night and his friends. We got a bit drunk so I went home with them and stayed the night." I explain.
Lizzy raises and eyebrow. "I know you're hiding the name of the guy for a reason but I'm not sure what the reason is exactly. I'm ok with it if it's one of my ex's if that's what's going on."
I laugh. "No. He's just a well known guy and I know how you are with secrets. We're not even dating so his name doesn't really matter anyway."
Lizzy shrugs and sits on the couch to watch tv. I go into my room and start reading. The members of Guns N Roses are so different than what I expected. They're nicer than they seem to be honest.
I'm glad I met them but I know we probably won't be seeing each other again anytime soon.
Slash had my number and he knows where I live. If he wants me he can do something about it because I'm not gonna be one of those girls that comes to him. That just seems desperate, I'm not desperate.

-a week later-

I finally found a job at a bar pretty close to where I live so I don't have to drive far. Lizzy decided to move in with her boyfriend which I tried to talk her out of. I'm really worried about her. It's not like they've known each other that long. Deep down I know something will go wrong.
Other than that my life has been pretty normal. Slash never called or anything. I knew this was how it would happen. I just thought he'd try to seduce me or something but all we did was kiss.
Maybe if the guys hadn't showed up something different may have happened.
I'm kind of sad about it but being sad won't change anything. Slash just didn't want me. I guess I have to accept that.

I grab my keys and go get into my car. I'm heading to work and I'll probably be a few minutes late because Lizzy called and we talked for longer than I thought we would. Her relationship seems so perfect right now. She was always the one that got all the good things. She didn't even try and she never has.
I pull up to work and walk inside the back door. I grab the little apron thing the make us wear and tie it around my waist. Then I walk behind the bar and get to work.
"How are you girl?" One of my coworkers asks standing next to me.
I look up at her. "I'm doing good Zoe. How about you?"
"I just found out I'm pregnant but I don't know who the father is. I'm just really stressed out and scared." Zoe answers.
I softly smile at her. "If you wanna talk or anything you can call or stop by."
She nods. "Thanks Vivian. I'll talk to you later than." Zoe says before walking away to get back to work.
Just then a group of guys walk into the bar. One blonde and three dark haired guys. They look hot and they also look like Mötley Crüe.
I must have really good luck at bars because I met Slash at one and now I might get to talk to Mötley.
I really wasn't that excited about meeting Slash at the bar but I think after the date and the time I spent with the rest of the band I have a new perspective on rockstars. I think I could trust some of them. Not all of them, some of them.
"Hey cutie can I get a Jack Daniel's please?" The blonde also known as Vince asked smiling at me.
"I'd like a vodka." Tommy says followed by Mick asking for a beer.
Then Nikki smirks at me and says. "I'd love a Jack Daniels and your number."
I grin. "I can get you your drink but I'm not sure about the number. Last week I went on a date with a rockstar and he never talked to me again. I don't really wanna waist my time ya know."
"Who was this guy? He's obviously blind. I'd never let a gal like you slip away." Vince asks.
"I'm not telling you because you'd probably go find him and start a fight. I already know you guys and his band don't get along to well." I answer while getting their drinks.
Tommy's eyes widen. "Is it Guns N Roses? Which one of them fuckers was it?"
Mick roles his eyes. "Do we really need to be starting more fights with them?"
Vince glares at him. "Who said we were even gonna confront them? We just want to know damn Mick. You always worry."
I set their drinks on the counter and they take them. Vince, Tommy and Mick walk away but Nikki stays.
"I'm not a bad guy. I'm not like Axl Rose. I won't blow up and try to kill you every couple days." He says after sipping his drink.
"Axl was actually really nice." I say staring into Nikki's eyes.
He looks a bit angry because I don't hate Axl like he probably does. Oh well, I don't care.
"Just give me a chance. I won't break your heart like Duff would for example. He doesn't care about anything but his vodka." Nikki says making me even more annoyed with him.
I role my eyes. "Obviously you don't know them very well because Duff is actually really nice and I think he cares about more things than vodka. I know this and I only talked to them for one day."
Nikki frowns and takes another drink.
"It was Slash wasn't it? It can't be Steven or Izzy because they both care too much about drugs to peruse a relationship and Axl doesn't go for girls like you. Duff, he only likes sluts and you don't seem like one."
I nod. "Yah it was Slash who took me on a date you're right but why are you so negative towards them? They aren't that bad."
Nikki laughs. "They were the ones that started it. They called us pussies and shit because of the way we dress. Otherwise we were always nice to them but they fucked it up."
"Hey Viv. Long time no see." Duff says standing next to Nikki. I don't think he realized Nikki was there. But that means the rest of Guns is probably here. There better not be a fight...
"Hey Duff, do you want a drink?" I ask trying to ignore Nikki's glare.
"Yah, he wants all the vodka you got back there so he can get drunk off his ass and burn his house down again." Nikki says smirking.
Duff turns to look at him and frowns. "You act like you've never done anything like that. Why don't you just go find your boys and sit the fuck down so I can talk to my friend?."
"Fine, if that's what you want Duffy." Nikki says chugging the rest of his drink.
