Hey Sugar /Guns N Roses

7 - pizza boxes, and rat hunts

2 weeks had passed since the lads had signed their new contract with Geffen records and to say they were busy would be an understatement.
Slash and I hadn't exactly made up and no we hadn't even slept together, not to mention Duff was being a proper douche bag to me as well.
However, izzy and Bella seemed to be going at it again, stronger than ever. I had to admit I was slightly jealous when Bella had told me that her and izzy were now official.
Aryanna also had a thing with Axl. Axl apparently doesn't like labels though so there's some tension there, aside from that and my budding friendship with Steven, nothing that exciting had happened.
It had been quite boring actually. Axl was writing all the time, duff and izzy were constantly recording things at the studio and slash had locked himself in his room for a few days. Axl told me that he was having "one on one time with Pandora".
That fucking snake
In these two weeks I had either been working, drawing or hanging out with Steven.
Currently I was drawing, at least trying too.
I had gone through 18 sheets of paper trying to design a logo for the band.
Axl had told me if I designed one that they all agreed on, they would give me some money in return, which I could definitely use.
A convenience store salary wasn't exactly funding my artistic endeavors.
I wanted to make a design that was badass but not tacky and so far I was having no luck. Guess it's time for another smoke break.

I began Making my way over to the counter where my smokes were, when I heard a loud knock on the door.
"I don't want to be here steven" was that Duffs voice I heard?
"Your such a pussy. You fucked her once who cares get over it" stevens voice was very Distinguished and I felt my cheeks heat up at the mention of duff and I.
Yes of course I remembered that night.
"She's not even home"
"Oh yes she is"
"HEY RIA IT'S YOUR BOY STEVEN, OPEN UP"
I chuckled and attempted to ignore my anxiety about duff as I sauntered over to the door.
"I'm coming, calm your tits" I greeted steven with a grim to which he returned.
"I brought my friend duff, I don't know if you two have met before" steven spoke In a sarcastic drawl as he trapsed past me into the lounge.
"Hey" Duff commented without even looking at me as he followed steven.
Oh so he's going to be like that. .great.
"So why are you guys here, shouldn't you be recording or something.
"Axls recording vocals and he said we disturbed his focus so he made us leave" steven shrugged and followed me onto the balcony, watching closely as I lit the cigarette dangling from my lips.
"Can i bum one off ya? Slash took my pack last night. Probably fed them to his fucking snake" I handed steven a smoke and watched duff chuckle at stevens comment.
"Anyways, axl wanted to know if you have had any progress with the logo. We have a show at the troubadour in a few weeks and he says we need a backdrop" steven rolled his eyes and took a puff of his smoke.
Fuck axl and his professionalism, also fuck me and my procrastination.
"I'm working on it" I nodded slightly.
"Are you really?" Duff rolled his eyes at me and smirked.
I wonder if duff even realizes how much of a dick he's being.
"Yeah actually. I am." I snapped back while steven held a suprised expression.
"Damn you two are still mad at each other? What did duff give you crabs or something?" Steven chuckled at his own joke and I found myself glaring at duff.
"You're one to joke about crabs steven" Duff spoke harshly as he elbowed steven in the gut.
I just wanted things to get back to normal. Was that too much to ask? Everything started going to shit right after I fucked duff. Slash and I had a good thing going on, duff and I were actually friends, but now all there was, was tension. I wish I could say I fully regretted sleeping with duff, but the fact of the matter was that I didn't. Duff and I connected, we had good conversations and we joked a lot too. I'm pretty sure I knew more about him than his friends in some ways, and that's saying something considering I've only known him for a month. But I'm sick of it now. All the fighting and all the tension. I was going to have to suck up my pride and do something about it.

"Oh fuck" steven knocked me out of my trance when he abruptly stood up and threw his smoke off the balcony.
"I forgot I was supposed to meet Adrianna today" steven was rolling his eyes slightly.
"Who the fucks Adrianna?" I let an amused smile take over as I watched steven poofing his hair up.
"She's my girlfriend"
Duff and I practically choked on our cigarettes as we both stared up at steven.
"You've got a girlfriend? Since when?" Duff spoke my exact thoughts with bulging eyes and raised brows.
"Like a week ago? I told you about her you idiot but you were drunk" steven chuckled, giving us both a wave as he sprinted out of my appartment.
Now it's just me and duff. Great. I guess now is the time to confront duff.
Part of me wondered if steven actually had a girlfriend or if he was using her as an excuse so duff and I would be alone.
That smart bastard.
