You Ain't The First

Chapter Seven - Sweet Caress

Sabrina

I laid back on the couch, with my head on the arm, letting my hair fall down the side. I glanced up at the clock and groaned. It had been about a week since the two Gunners had headed home. Izzy promised he would call me, but so far he hadn't, while Duff called nonstop. I was getting frustrated. 

Maybe he found another girl, maybe he forgot about me. Was he sick? Why am I so concerned, I barely know the guy; of course he would forget about me, he had so many girls throwing themselves at him. 

I shook my head and stood up. The curtains were wide open, letting the warm LA sun pour into the room.

"What's got you so glum?" Harley asked, while opening up the window

"Nothing." I mumbled staring down at my bare feet

"Liar, I know you." Harley said

"Well-" I started, stepping into the sunlight, the light turning my dark hair into an auburn color

"It's just, Izzy hasn't called me." I sighed, sitting on the window ledge

"I mean, Duff called you, and you saw him all day yesterday." I mumbled

"He'll call, he's just busy. Duff said he was with Axl." Harley said, pulling her dark hair into a ponytail

"Or he's found another girl." I muttered unkindly

"What? No, thats impossible. He likes you, and there is no way he found another girl that is even as close to being as pretty and kind as you." Harley said

"I don't know, but thanks." I sighed

"Cheer up, flower." Harley said, wandering into the kitchen for some alcohol

I groaned again and let my head hit the window. I sat for a few minutes with my eyes closed, letting the suns warmth spill over my face. I opened my eyes and smoothed out the sundress I had on and stood up. The door opened and Duff walked in, I started to get excited, maybe Izzy was with him. But to my dismay, he wasn't. I frowned, but quickly smiled when I looked up at Duff.

He was here to take Harley out again, they had been going for walks and drinks together.

"You'll be okay Sab?" Harley asked before heading out the door

"Yeah, go have fun." I smiled and waved her off, she gave me a reassuring smile and walked out with Duff, who gave me a wink and waved as he shut the door.

I wandered out onto the balcony and watched the people below me for a few minutes. I cleaned around the apartment for a little while to get my mind off things. The doorbell rang, I mindlessly padded up to the door and opened it. As I looked to see who was at the door, I almost fell over. The man with the dark hair and kind eyes was standing in front of me. 

"H-hi." I grinned

"Hey, sorry for just showing up. Slash used the paper that had your number on it to put out his cigarette." Izzy said 

"Oh, thats okay. Come in." I smiled and ushered him in

"Harley's out with Duff." I said as I shut the door

"Figured." Izzy chuckled

"So, I was writing a new song...Wanna here it?" Izzy asked

"Yeah, I'd love to." I smiled shyly

"I don't have much of it, I just started last night." Izzy said whilst picking up a guitar and beginning to strum it

Lookin' at the ocean blue
