-the next morning-

I wake up and feel someone playing with my hair. Memories from last night flood my head. The sex was amazing. Slash really knows what he's doing.
"Morning." Slash says noticing I'm awake.
I look up and see his hair is all over the place. He still looks sexy though.
"Morning." I reply.
"Can I stay here forever?" Slash asks after awhile of silence.
"Nope. You have to go back and fix stuff up with Axl. You have to do it for the band." I answer snuggling closer to him.
He sighs. "You're right. But that can wait because I want to at least spend today with you."
"I don't really do anything interesting though." I say tugging at a piece of his hair and watching it bounce back up.
"I don't care." Slash tells me.
He then leans down and kisses me softly. I wrap my arms around his neck and pull him closer. His kisses are so addictive. I can't just have one.
"Are you hungry?" I ask after we finish our little make out session.
"A little." He answers.
"I'll get dressed and make us some food because I'm super hungry." I say sitting up.
Slash pulls me down again. "I don't want you to go yet. Just five more minutes."
"Fine, five minutes." I say letting him wrap his arms around me.
The five minutes ended up being like an hour because we both fell asleep but now Slash is sitting at the table watching me cook eggs and bacon.
"What do you do for fun?" He asks randomly.
"Um my friend and I go to parties sometimes and clubs." I answer.
"I can tell there's things you like more than partying." Slash says standing up and sitting on the counter with his feet dangling above the floor.
I keep my eyes on the eggs. He's right. There's a lot of things I like more. When I was younger I was a total country girl. I went hunting, fishing and four wheeling with my dad all the time.
"I love to read and I used to like horseback riding a lot." I tell him.
"Do you have siblings?" Slash asks.
I bite my lip. I hate talking about Haley.
"I have a twin sister. That's it. My mom didn't want more than two kids." I answer.
"Do you still talk to her?" He asks.
I shut off the stove and put the eggs on two plates and put a few pieces of bacon on the plates as well.
"Um no. I don't talk to my parents either." I answer.
Slash doesn't say anything until we start eating.
"Maybe you should go see them." He says.
I look up at him. "Hell no, they probably hate me."
He takes a drink of orange juice and then shakes his head.
"They still love you. They're your family." He replies. 
"I don't know. I'll think about it." I say before finishing my eggs.
After Slash and I are done eating we watch tv. It's just some random movie that Slash thought was interesting. At least it's not about a princess.
"Hey girl you home?" I hear somebody shout.
Shit, it's Lizzy. Well she had to meet Slash sooner or later.
She walks into the living room and gasps.
"What the hell are you doing with him? Is this the guy you were talking about? Shit Vivian! Where'd you find him? Can I have Axl? Oh my fucking God!..." She rambles.
"Lizzy! Shut up. I'll explain it all to you later and why do you want Axl? Don't you have a boyfriend?" I ask.
Lizzy shrugs. "He'd be a good fuck buddy."
Slash snickers. "Sorry but Axl only goes for sluts."
I playfully slap Slash's arm. "You act like you aren't like that."
He smiles at me. "I was but now I have you."
"Aww! That's so damn cute. Viv we need to have a girls night sometime and talk. Anyway I'll leave you two alone. Call me." Lizzy says walking back to the door.
"Nice friend you have there." Slash says smirking.
I smile. "She's one of the best friends I've ever had."

Slash said he's taking me to some kind of party and that I had to dress sexy. He said he'll come get me in an hour and a half. That's not really hard for me but it isn't easy. I'd much rather be in sweatpants or jeans than a tight ass dress.
After awhile of looking through my closet I find a dress I like. It's red and it goes down a little above my knees. It's pretty tight but I can still breathe. The dress shows cleavage but not too much if ya know what I mean.
I then decide to put my hair up in a cute little up-do. Then I apply red lipstick along with the rest of my makeup and grab a pair of red heels.
This party will probably be super awkward because the people there are gonna Slash's friends and they'll probably be rockstars, models or actors. I don't know if I'll fit it to be honest.
Just then there's a knock on the door. I go to answer it and smile when I see Slash standing there. He looks sexy as hell, like always.
"Baby, I'm gonna have a hard time keeping all the other guys away from you." Slash says looking me up and down.
A blush floods my cheeks. "It'll be fine. I had sexier dresses I could've worn instead of this."
Slash smirks. "Maybe you'll have to show me them sometime." He says as we walk to his car.
"Maybe I will. Maybe I won't." I tease.
He grins and then opens my door for me. I raise an eyebrow. Slash a gentlemen? Gosh, I never would've guessed.
Once we get down the street a ways Slash turns on the radio. An Ozzy Osbourne song is playing.
"Oh my gosh it's my baby!" I gush before singing along.
Slash glares at me deviously. "Ya know babe Ozzy will be at the party."
My eyes widen. "Are you fucking serious? It's like my life goal to meet him."
"You really like him don't you." Slash says shaking his head slightly.
I nod. "Ozzy is like my second favorite guy in the world."
"Who's the first?" Slash asks.
I smile and look over at him. "I don't know maybe some guy named Slash."
He glances at me and chuckles. "You make me feel so special."
When we get to the gigantic house this party is at Slash looks at me.
"Are you nervous?" He asks.
"Fuck yah." I answer.
"Me too. I didn't even wanna come. Our manager made us. He said some shit about us socializing with other rockstars being good for our image or whatever." Slash replies.
"Well let's just do it. Hopefully we'll bump into Ozzy and I hope to god Sharon isn't next to him when we do." I joke.
Don't get me wrong I like her I just wish I was her but I have Slash so I guess I should forget about that dream of being Ozzy's girl. It was never a serious thing though. Deep down I always knew it'd never work. We're too different.
Slash sighs and comes around to open my door. He helps me out of the car and holds my hand as we walk inside.
Immediately I see familiar faces. Most of my teenage years are in this house right now. I even see Alice Cooper in the corner!
Slash leads me over to Steven and his date.
"Hey man." Steven says once we approach him.
Slash and him start talking about band stuff and Stevens girl looks at me.
"You're Vivian right?" She asks.
"Yup." I answer sounding totally not formal.
She smiles. "I'm Veronica. Stevens friend with benefits I guess until he asks me out."
I smile back. "It's the same with Slash."
I glance to my right and see none other than Ozzy Osbourne. I could've died.
"Hey, you wanna do something with me?" I ask Veronica.
She nods. "Sure."
I lead over towards Ozzy and realize Axl is part of the group of people he's talking to. He better not embarrass me or I'll kill him.
"Hey Oz, it's your biggest fan." Axl says smirking.
"Fuck off Axl." I snap glaring at him.
"I like her." Ozzy says putting an arm around me.
I ya know love Slash or whatever those feeling I have for him wanna be called but meeting Ozzy was like one of my biggest dreams.
Veronica starts talking to some model that's standing next to Joan Jett and Sebastian Bach.
"So you're a fan huh?" Ozzy asks in his thick Birmingham accent.
I smile. "Yup. I only listen to the Sabbath albums that you're in."
"Well I appreciate the love." He says dropping his arm from around my shoulder.
He smiles at me kind of and then walks over to Geezer Butler and says hi. Well my life goal has been completed....
I make my way back to Slash and he asks where I was.
"I said hi to Ozzy. It wasn't as exciting as I thought it would be." I answer.
"He's an old man, what'd you expect?" Slash asks snickering.
"He's not that old. When you're old there will still be fans wanting to meet you so don't even go there." I say.
Slash shrugs. "I guess that's true."
For the next few hours we pretty much just walk around and talk to people. Slash started to loosen up more after he had a few drinks. Before he was kind of nervous talking to people. Not so much that it was obvious but I could tell.
We danced for awhile which was fun. Slash isn't to bad of a dancer.
"So this is you're girl eh Slash?" Jon Bon Jovi asks.
"Yah." Slash answers putting an arm around my waist and pulling me closer.
Do guys these days not believe in asking a girl out? What's the criteria for dating anyway? I swear it must be once you kiss or have sex you're dating. Or at least that's how Slash is acting.
"Hey buddy." Vince Neil says standing next to Jon.
"Oh hey Vince. How you been?" Jon asks.
Slash pulls me closer to him. He really doesn't like Vince or any of the Crüe.
"Ah, isn't you're name Vivian? I see Slash and you are together now. I hope that works out." Vince says before walking away.
Jon looks at us. "You guys don't get along I assume?"
"Nope." Slash answers.
"He's kind of a dick in my opinion, his whole band is. Mick ain't too bad though. Nikki is the one you gotta watch out for. He doesn't like rejection." Jon says before saying bye and walking away.
What did he mean? I rejected Nikki and hasn't done shit yet. Maybe he just likes to bluff.
"Do you wanna stick around or go somewhere else?" Slash asks.
"Lets go. I'm getting bored." I answer.
"Me too." Slash says taking my hand and leading me towards the door.
I make eye contact with Nikki as we're heading to the door and he gives me this smirk. It wasn't a normal smirk. He's planning something. I've always been good at reading peoples emotions and thoughts.
I decide to try and forget about it. I'm probably overreacting. I do that sometimes.
"Where do you wanna go?" Slash asks as we get in the car.
"It doesn't matter." I answer.
After a few minutes Slash stops at a park. "We'll just hang out here for awhile. We can get fresh air."
I nod and then get out of the car. Slash grabs my hand and we walk down a dirt path. It's pretty dark and the moon is shining down on us. I've always liked night time. I'm not sure why.
We stop at a bench and sit down. It's silent except for the wind ruffling the leaves in the trees above us.
"I wanna ask you something." Slash says breaking the silence.
I turn to look at him. "Go ahead."
He fiddles with his fingers while speaking. "I was wondering...if you would ya know, wanna be my girlfriend?"
"Are you always this nervous when asking girls out?" I ask smiling.
"Actually you're the first girl I've ever asked to be my girlfriend. I never wanted to commit to a relationship before." Slash admits.
"Well I'd love to be you're girlfriend." I say.
"Good." Slash says wrapping an arm around me.
After a few minutes Slash and I decide to walk back to the car and go back to my house.
"Do you like snakes?" Slash asks randomly.
"I love snakes. My sister and I used to have a few but my mom got sick of them so we had to give them to my cousin." I answer.
"I can get you a snake if you want one." Slash offers.
"You don't have to. It's fine." I reply.
"Nope, I'm getting you a snake." He insists.
I sigh. "Obviously I'm not gonna win this argument."
Slash grabs my hand as we walk.
"You're not so it's settled. I'm getting you a snake." He says happily.
Slash turns on the radio as we're driving home and a KISS song comes on. To be honest I used to have a crush on Paul Stanley but then it kind of faded away. They aren't that bad though.
"Gene was at the party ya know." Slash says.
"I like Paul better. Gene seems like an ass to me." I reply.
"I've never met him, I just saw him there but I agree with you. He does seem like an ass." Slash says as we pull up to my house.
I unlocked the door and Slash follows me inside. He collapses on the couch and turns the tv on while I go into my room and change into something more comfortable.
I wash off my makeup and brush my hair then I grab the phone that's in my bedroom and call Lizzy.
"Hey girl, how's you're man?" She asks when she answers.
I twist the phone cord around my finger. "He's fine. He's just watching tv."
"So since he's not around tell me about you and Mr. Slash." She says excitedly.
I then proceed to tell her the story of how we met and all that crap. She seemed really interested like a child getting told a fairytale.
"Do you love him?" Lizzy asks when I'm done.
"I'm not sure." I answer honestly.
"Does he love you?" She asks.
I shrug. "I don't know. He just asked me to be his girlfriend today. I already feel like we're moving kind of fast and you're talking about love. Gosh Lizzy."
"I love Kyle, that's why we moved in together. I also might be pregnant with his kid. I have to get a test though." She says making me gasp.
"Are you for real? You're pregnant already? You've known him for like 2 weeks and you're in love and pregnant. Holy shit."
"I know. Isn't it amazing. I want you to be the godmother." Lizzy says just as Slash walks in the door. He takes his shirt off and lays down next to me.
"I'd love to. Just take care of yourself though. I'll come see you in a couple days ok." I tell Liz.
"That's perfect. Kyle is going on a business trip for a few days next week. You could come over then and we could hang out." She replies happily.
"I can do that. Anyway, I'll talk to you later Liz." I say.
"Ok. Bye Vivian." She says.
I hang up the phone and take a deep breath. Kyle is going on a business trip, yah ok. He's probably going to cheat on Liz. I hate seeing her get hurt. She's just so gullible sometimes...
"Was that your friend?" Slash asks.
"Yah, she told me some wonderful news." I answer with sarcasm.
"What is it?" He asks pulling me closer to him.
"She's pregnant apparently and the father to her baby is most likely a cheating asshole but she can't see that." I tell him snuggling closer into his chest so he can warm me up. For some reason I'm really cold. My throat hurts too. Fuck, I'm probably sick.
"Maybe you should wait a couple days and see if he really is a cheater before you get all worried. Worrying isn't good." Slash says.
"I guess you're right. I just don't want to see her get hurt." I say.
"I know baby but she's a grown adult and she needs to make her own decisions." He tells me.
I yawn. "Right. Well I'm going to sleep so goodnight Slash."
"Goodnight." Slash replies.
That night I fell asleep in Slash's arms. I slept peacefully except for this one dream I had about Nikki and him breaking into my house and screaming horrible things at me. It was very unsettling. I don't really think he would do that but it was just, weird I guess. I really wish Nikki would get out of my head...
