Desperate Hearts. (A Steven Tyler fanfiction)

Chapter 3: In The Morning

I yawned and moved a little as I opened my eyes. My eyes started to adjust, and I didn't recognize my surroundings.
I collected my thoughts and then remembered: Aerosmith after party. I stayed the night at Marissa's brother's house.
I tried to move my head, but I was laying on something.
I looked up and saw a sleeping Steven Tyler next to me, my head on his chest.
I fell asleep on this rockstar last night? What the hell??
I sat up, straightening my clothes and fixing my hair a bit.
I got off the couch and made my way upstairs to the bedroom.
I opened the door to the master bedroom and it was a complete mess. There were people sleeping on the floor, beer bottles and drug paraphernalia lying around. I recognized some of the sleeping people as Joe Perry and the other members of Aerosmith. Sleeping in the bed were Marissa and Jake.
Aww..brother and sister. How cute.
I looked around, finding a scrap of paper, grabbed a pen, and left Marissa a note saying that I was leaving.

I walked back downstairs and Steven was now up and walking around.
I braced myself and walked into the living room.
He noticed me, smiling.
"Good morning."
I smiled back. "Good morning. Have a good sleep??"
He smirked. "I think so..you fell asleep on me right..?"
I blushed a little, bringing my head down so Steven wouldn't see. "Yeah..it was the alcohol and drugs, I think..we didn't do anything crazy last night did we??"
I moved a little closer to him.
"Nah, I don't think so. I guess..just cuddled.." He replied, smiling.
I took a breath. "I see, well I'm gonna--"
"Marley.."
My arms tingled with goosebumps as he said my name.
"Yes?" I said.
"You wanna get outta here? Get something to eat?" Steven asked, his eyes glimmering with mischief.
I smirked, meeting his eyes. "Hell yeah, I'm starved."

There was a small diner that serves breakfast down the street from Jake's house, so Steven and I walked the few minutes to it.
We walked inside, grabbing a table by the window.
Before the waitress came over, I grabbed my hand mirror out of my purse, to look at myself.
I almost choked. I looked like I crawled out of a sewer.
"Holy shit, I look ridiculous." I exclaimed, trying to wipe away some of my makeup, and fix my hair a little.
Steven chuckled at my attempts. "I think you look fine."
I rolled my eyes at this, as the waitress came up to the table.
"What can I get y'all?" She asked.
"Um, I think a coffee and a muffin for me.." I replied.
"Bring me the same." Steven said.
My stomach fluttered a little.
The waitress smiled in response and she walked off to get our food.
I took out my phone, checking to see if Marissa had texted me. No messages.

I could feel Steven's eyes on me. I looked up from my phone, raising my eyebrows.
"Can I help you?"
Steven laughed. "Damn, you're a sassy devil..I was just taking you in."
I stared at him. "Why??"
"Because I like you."
I chuckled in response. "You don't even know me."
Steven's eyes met mine, his expression sincere. "But I want to."
I felt a blush spread to my cheeks, as the waitress brought the two coffees and muffins.
I took a long sip of my coffee, then tearing off a piece of my muffin.
I glanced up at Steven, who was doing the same, but still looking at me with that knee shaking smile.
I couldn't help but smile back.
What in the hell was happening??
