Too Fast For Love

Chapter 15: Wait

We were all at The Rainbow Bar celebrating the guys second upcoming tour. The place was packed full of so many different people. The song Lick It Up by Kiss played loudly throughout the place. I was at the bar with Alice getting something to drink.

"Hey stranger" I hear a voice come from behind me. It was Tom. I turned around without trying to lose my balance considering I was already a little buzzed. He had a smirk on his face.

"Hi Keifer" I said kind of irritated, the smile I had disappearing from my face. Alice glanced over her shoulder looking at me. Her eyes widened, taking a sip from her glass full of rum and coke.

"Thought you would of been happy to see me" he said leaning up against the bar on his side.

"Yeah" I laughed rolling my eyes.

"Oh c'mon, I know you're only acting like this because you already got Nikki" he said grabbing my hand, gesturing to the ring I wore. "I bet that if guys weren't together, you'd be all over me right now" he finished saying.

I pulled my hand away from him quickly.

"You're shit faced already, Tom" I said turning back to the bar and grabbing my glass. I took a shot of vodka that was waiting for me. Then I heard other footsteps approaching behind me.

"Is he bothering you" I hear the voice say. I instantly recognize its Nikki's. I turn around.

"I was just admiring her ring you got her. I'm so happy for you guys" Tom said. "You're a lucky fucker, Sixx" he finished saying and then walked off. We were both quiet, but Nikki gave him a sarcastic smile as Tom walked off.

"What a sleaze" Nikki said taking Tom's spot. I could tell that he wasn't as buzzed as I already was, so he was more aware of everything c which explains a lot. I nodded my head in agreement.

"Wanna go join me and the rest of the guys back at the booth? Alice looks like she's going to be distracted all night" he said pointing over to her. She was practically drooling over the guy she was talking to.

"Yeah, let me just get one more drink" I said laughing and catching the bartenders attention.

As soon as we got back to the booth, Tommy and Vince were having a drink off of who could finish their bottle of whiskey first. Obviously Tommy won.

"Alright man, hand over the 100 bucks" Tommy says putting out his hand. Vince violently took out his wallet and slapped it down into his hand.

"Aww, c'mon Vince. Don't be a sore loser" Robbin, the guitarist from Ratt, said shaking Vince's shoulders from behind.

Nikki day down in the booth first and I followed after, but was grabbed by my waist and sat on his lap since he was on the end of the seat. All the guys of Ratt and Crüe were talking, making jokes and laughing about dumb shit. Some of which I didn't understand since it was guy shit and all their little inside jokes.

"I'm going to go out for a bit to get some fresh air, babe" I say getting up from Nikki's lap.

"Alright baby" he said kissing me and smiling after.

Once I got outside, I pull out a joint that I had along with my lighter and lit it up. For a summer night in Los Angeles, it was actually kind of cold. Thankfully I was wearing jeans and a long sleeved cropped shirt. I sat down on the curb of the street watching people and cars pass by. It surprisingly wasn't as busy as it usually is, but that's probably because it was about 3am already.

"Care for some company" I hear a voice come from behind me. I didn't recognize who it was at all. Then the person sat down next to me and I looked over at them.

"You all good" the man asks. It was Jake Lee from Ratt. I didn't really know any of those guys in that band, but Crüe did and they were all becoming really good friends.

"Yeah, I'm fine" I said handing him over the joint. He then takes a hit off of it and starts to cough.

"Too much" I ask giggling a bit as he handed it back over. "I'm Kat by the way" I finish saying.

"I know who you are" he replied. "Everyone knows who you are."

"Is that a bad thing" I ask.

"Naa" is all he replied.

Jake and I continued to talk and learned quite a bit about each other, and surprisingly having some things in common. I started to lose track of time and decided that it was time to go back in before Nikki started to wonder where I was. Jake and I decided to head back in, back to the table but Nikki wasn't there. I didn't think much of it and assumed he was in the bathroom.

"So you weren't going to share any bud with me" Tommy said slurring his words and throwing himself down on the seat, nudging me.

"Naaa, you looked a little busy with your second bottle of whiskey, pointing to the empty bottle in his hand.

"What whiskey" he asked dropping the bottle on the floor as it shattered. I laughed and shook my head. Before I knew it, I saw Nikki walking out from where the bathroom is. In the amount of time I was gone, he had managed to get super trashed. Then a girl followed behind him, fixing her top, and that's when my heart sunk down into my stomach. Nikki made his way back over to the table and sat on the other side of the table, straight across from me. He quickly glanced at me and then to the table. My heart fucking shattered and I could feel my eyes starting to burn and my face getting warm.

"Pass the smack dude" he said putting his arm out to grab the plate the drugs were on. I then got up from my seat and grabbed my bag.

"Fuck you, Nikki. We're done" I said taking off my ring and slamming it down in front of him. "Have fun with your little whore."

Everyone at the table was quiet and shocked at what happened. I then walked away from the table hoping that he'd get up and follow and at least apologize or something, but he didn't. Tears were now streaming down my face. I felt like such an idiot for actually thinking that he ever meant anything he said. Who even knew how long he was doing what he was doing?

"Wait, Kat" a voice said behind me as I walked out the door, outside. It was Vince.

"What" I yelled back wiping my face.

"Are you okay" he asked coming over closer to me, trying to give me a hug. I pushed him off of me, not wanting to be touched at all.

"You knew all along too. All of you probably did" I said out of anger.

"What?! No Kat. I would of told you right away if I saw anything."

"Yeah sure. Just leave me alone. I'm going home. And tell Nikki that I never want to see him again." And before I could get an answer from Vince, I turned and walked away. I wanted to leave this place as fast as I could.

As I turned down my street to my apartment, I thought to myself how fucking stupid I could be to think that anything between is was actually real. He probably only felt that he needed to be with me because he knocked me up. But considering what happened, he probably realized that he wasn't going to be tied down anymore and could do and fuck whatever he wanted to. God, I was so stupid to think any good would of came out of this. I wish I could go back to the night I first met him and stayed home. This bullshit wasn't worth it at all.
