Awkward (Dave Grohl love story)

Chapter 24

Mel

1994 November

"Come on lazy ass it's only 3 days away until the awards. We need to go shopping," I said nagging Slash. For Slash's birthday we ended Up going to Hawaii for a week. It was amazing. We got matching tattoos while in Hawaii and Slash proposed to me. We won't be getting married until probably early 1996. I honestly couldn't be happier.
"Ugh fine we'll go shopping," Slash said. I ended up getting a job as a hairdresser. I guess that course I did after high school did come in handy. Even though Slash insisted I didn't need a job and that he would pay for everything I still needed to get one. Slash found a really nice pair of black jeans, a white shirt and a good pair of black cowboy boots for the awards.
"You should wear your hair in a ponytail for the awards," I said.
"It will look stupid," he said.
"No it won't," I said.
"Fine, but I get to pick your outfit," he said.
"Ok deal," I said. Slash and I looked around a few shops until he found a dress he wanted me to wear. I tried it on. It was a red dress that was low cut that came with a white fur cape. I tried it on. I must say it did look pretty good. I came out of the dressing room. Slash's eyes suddenly went wide.
"Babe, you look so hot," he said.
"I really like it," I said. Slash insisted that is was a present from him so he bought it. I also got a black pair of heels that went well with the outfit.

Night of the awards

Dave

Mandy and I had our outfits ready for the awards. I was a little nervous becaus I knew for sure Mel would be there with Slash. We finished getting ready then the limo picked us up and took us to the awards. Mandy look stunning in her black dress.
"You excited," I said squeezing her hand.
"Of corse babe," she said. The Limo stopped out the front of where the awards were being held. There was a huge red carpet leading with lots of paparazzi's and the press all there. Mandy and I stepped out the of limo and started walking down. There were lights flashing everywhere and people calling our names. Suddenly the paparazzi started going crazy and cameras where all flashing over near the front of the red carpet. I looked over to see it was Mel and Slash. Mel had on a tight short red dress with a fur cape and black heels. There was a bit of a line so Mandy and I had to stay where we were. Mel and Slash were not far behind us being interviewed .
"Is that an engagement ring Mel?????" The reporter asked.
"Yes it is. We also got matching tattoos," Mel said.
"I am pretty sure you guys are currently the ultimate rock and roll couple," the reporter said
"So where did it get this stunning dress?" He asked.
"I chose it for her," Slash said.
"You'll wanna look out tonight. Everyone is gonna be all over her," the reporter said
"Well they may be all over her but I'll be the only one having sex with her tonight," Slash said. I could her Mel laughing.
"Well good luck for the awards," the reporter said. I could see Mel laughing and Slash had is arm around her.
"Stop looking at her," Mandy said.
"I wasn't," I said. Mandy is controlling which is pretty annoying. When we got to the front a security guard come up to us.
"Are you Mandy Scott," he asked.
"Yes I am," she said.
"Your sister called. She has gone into labour.
"Oh shit. I have to go she needs me to be there," Mandy said. Before she said anything else she ran to find a cab.
Well shit now I have no date.
