Home Sweet Home (Nikki Sixx)

The Morning After

My eyes shoot open and I groan loudly as the sun shines directly into my eyes through the sheer curtains. I roll over to go back to sleep and realise that I'm not in my own bed. I bolt up right and lift the covers. I sigh in relief when I see my underwear was still intact. I notice I'm in a large Kiss shirt which definitely wasn't mine. I hear voices coming from outside and decide to get up. I grab my clothes from last night from the floor and proceed to put them on. As I walk into the living room I see Tommy, Mick, Vince, Alex and Nikki sitting down on the couch chatting. I see Alex perk up and smile as she sees me.

"Well look who's up" She said continuing to smile at me.

"How's your face? heard some guy tried it on with you last night" Tommy smirked at me as I walked to the couch.

"It's fine, he got me pretty good" I laughed as I sat on the couch.

"Want a beer?" Nikki asked as he opened the small banged up fridge .

"Sure!" I smile

"I seriously don't know how you boys drink as soon as you get out of bed." I grin as Nikki hands me my drink.

"So what are your plans for today?" Tommy asked as he began to take a swig of his drink.

"Well, I've got fucking work tonight, got a job at the Whisky but sure as hell don't want to go with this killer hangover" Alex replies as she places her head in her hands and groans.

"Well I plan on job hunting. Still waiting  to hear back from the diner, but hopefully I'll hear something soon, otherwise nothing too exciting" I say as I sit down on the old couch.

As I sit down I notice Vince putting his arm around Alex and pulling her close to his body. They clearly had fun last night.
As Vince did this I notice a flash of annoyance in Tommy's face. I wonder what the story is there? I'll have to ask Alex about that later.

I look up to find Nikki staring at me. This sent a jolt of electricity through my spine causing me to shiver. I feel so exposed when he looks at me, I mean I'm not that interesting to look at, I probably still look like hell after last night's events.

"Well, sorry to cut things short boys but I need to get my ass home and showered before I face hell tonight " Alex says as she removes Vince's arms from around her and stands up.

"Are you two coming to our show tomorrow?" Tommy asks as Alex helps me up from my spot on the couch.

"Sure we'll definitely be there it's at the Starwood right?" I ask looking towards Nikki.

"Yeah it sure is" Nikki responds as he gets up to show us out.

"Fuck yeah! it should be packed too so you girls will definitely get the full experience"

"Yeah packed with groupies" Alex says as she winks at Tommy and turns to walk through the front door.

I turn to look at Tommy to see him clearly drooling over Alex. I roll my eyes and follow the man eater herself out the door.

I turn to say good bye to Nikki and I'm met with his mesmerising green eyes.

I smile and lean in for a hug

He reciprocates and wraps his arms around my waist.

Tightly I may add.

"So I'll see you tomorrow?" He says as we seperate from the hug.

"Yes you will" I smile up at him

"Good" Nikki says as he hands me a small folded up piece of paper.

"It's my number so we can keep in touch, and so you know when we're playing... and stuff" Nikki explains when he notices my confusion.

"Oh yes! Thanks! I appreciate that" I say as I accept the paper from his hand.

"Well you girls better head home I can see that Alex is pretty hungover"

I turn to see Alex leaning against the Cab with her head in her hands"

"Yeah she has it real bad" I giggle as I watch my best friend come to regret her alcohol fuelled night.

Nikki and I give each other another brief hug as I say goodbye.

When I got to Alex she was on the edge of falling asleep. I sighed and helped her into the cab so we could get home.

***
As Alex and I head up to our apartment we notice piles of boxes in front of the door next to our apartment. Oh great we have neighbours let's hope they're not fucking loud or annoying.

I notice a young man with longish brown hair wearing a black cowboy like hat with a line of silver ovals surrounding the base is moving the boxes and items inside the apartment.

I could swear that hat looks very familiar!

He must of heard us approach as he turns around to look at us.

I halt dead in my tracks as his eyes meet mine. I heard Alex gasp in shock. I knew I recognised that hat somewhere.

"Hey there my name is Richie... Richie Sambora"

Oh fuck me....
