Infatuated With You (Guns N' Roses - Duff McKagan)

Chapter Sixteen

"Duff McKagan! What is going through your head right now?" I giggled as Duff tugged me down the stairs. I was terrified of tumbling down, but I almost didn't even have a moment to think about that.

"Oh you'll see." Duff chuckled, looking back at me with a smile. "Going out! Later!" Duff yells at the top of his lungs just as he swings open the front door. Ripping me out the front, a voice yelled out after Duff.

"Duff! Wait!" The voice repetitively yelled just as the front door slammed shut. Sprinting towards the limo that was already waiting there, Duff opened the door and allowed me to get in. But before he had a chance to, he slammed the door shut and turned away from the limo.

Looking out of the window, I noticed Axl was standing right in front of Duff. He looked furious, his face was quite red and his hair was just as flustered about as he looked. Axl was clearly yelling and swearing at Duff and from the looks of behind, Duff was carrying on much the same.

I was considering on getting out to see what the problem was, but before I could, Duff turned away from Axl and opened the door, getting in. Just as he did, I managed to hear one little thing from Axl.

"Go fuck yourself!" Axl hissed angrily.

With the door slamming shut, I watched as Axl stormed back towards the house, punching the wall as he did so before entering again.

Turning my attention to Duff, I noticed just how flustered and frustrated he looked. He no longer had that happy expression he had earlier, now he just looked kind of pissed off.

"Is everything okay?" I asked concerned.

"Yeah Ax is just pissed over some bullshit. I don't even know what he's fucking talking about!" Duff leaned his back against the chair as the limo began to drive forward. "I don't even give a rats ass about the shit he's on about."

Taking a deep breath, Duff closed his eyes for a minute. He looked to be trying to calm his nerves.

"Duff?" I asked, reaching out and resting my hand on top of his. "Are you okay?"

Duff opened his eyes and looked away from me, his poofy blonde hair sweeping around his face like a curtain. Almost like Slash's hair did on a daily basis.

"I'll be fine." Duff answered, turning his attention back and staring forward. His hair was still covering up most of his face.

Frowning, I moved my hand away from his and turned my entire body to face Duff. Reaching out, I combed most of Duff's hair back and just behind his ear, so that I could see his face again. My fingers caressed against Duff's cheek, which appeared to give him goosebumps.

Duff raised his arm and grabbed my hand, gently, he held my hand and rested it against his cheek. The contact he seemed to be enjoying, so much that he had an outline of a smile.

"Feeling a little better?" I asked, hoping I wasn't annoying him.

Duff sighed and turned his face to me, still holding my hand in place. His smile grew some more and he nodded his head.

Whatever Axl and him were arguing about, it did get to him. I could see it bothering him and I hated how much it seemed to do so. Duff wasn't as resilient as he tried to make himself out to be. At this point, he was quite see-through, which was unlike him.

"I'm okay." Duff took a deep breath, looking me in the eyes. "You know, you have the most beautiful blue eyes I have ever seen." He compliments, continuing to look me in the eyes, almost as if this was the first time he noticed that they were blue.

"Thanks." I smiled, feeling a faint blush seep onto my cheeks.

Duff finally let go of my hand and allowed it to drop from his face. "Sorry, I pretty much pushed you in. I knew Axl was pissed and I didn't want you to have to deal with it, let alone listen to it." Duff apologises, resting his hand onto my thigh.
